https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9410875/1/Blind-Ambition

Dank by Nadiak-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9949005/1/Dank
She wants a thrill and she finds it in the bad boy from the dangerous side of the tracks. Watch them both intertwine themselves into worlds they never even belonged in. Learning the best lesson there is. We're all different but yet the same. Rated M

Free My Heart by CaptiveAzure-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10116053/1/Free-my-Heart
Edward gave in to Tanya, even though he doesn't love her before they moved to Forks and is publicly in a relationship with her, sick of being the only singleton in his coupled family. Bella isn't as introverted, or as much as a good girl as she is in the books. Strongly OOC. Rated M

Its final destination is unknown, but there's no doubt the powerful faction behind the theft is intent on one thing: War. But they didn't count on a fight. A team of Marines, led by Capt. Edward Cullen and accompanied by Dr. Isabella Swan, isn't about to let the world go up in flames. AH. Rated M

Rest My Soul by MrsSpaceCowboy-rec'd by Nic/VampiresHaveLaws
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9786923/1/Rest-My-Soul
On opposite corners of Third Street and Beale, two lonely people fight to stay that way. Her scars are on the surface, soft on her skin and in her eyes. His run bone-deep, seeped in bourbon and blues. EPOV. Rated M

Royal Duty by LiveInDakota-rec'd by Evilnat
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9786923/1/Rest-My-Soul
Life as a princess isn't a fairytale like they would lead you to believe. Sometimes decisions are made you don't like. Sometimes you don't have a choice at all. Barely out of school, it seems Bella's future has already been decided, with a marriage she doesn't want and a nation she doesn't know how to rule, but not everything is at it seems, and Edward Masen is no exception. E/B. Rated M

Rated M

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9932991/1/The-Donor
Novelist Isabella M. Swan is pushing thirty and seeking fertility treatment. Her vampire husband can't exactly contribute. Bella tests the limits of Edward's devotion when she plays off colleagues, fans, and her husband's trust in order to achieve her goal. Rated M

The Invisible Line by Littlecat358-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6834033/1/The-Invisible-Line
Edward and Bella, friends since high school, are very close. So close, that the line between friendship and something more is often blurred. Will they ever cross the line or will they always teeter on the edge of what could be? Rated M

This Side of the Equator by Jaxington-rec'd by Missus T
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10020758/1/This-Side-of-the-Equator
On that side of the Equator a six year age difference is nothing, just a number that loses meaning in the face of adventures and shared interests and long bus rides. But on this side of the Equator, in Forks Washington where Bella is a teacher, six years are everything, an impenetrable barrier that makes life impossible when Edward Cullen shows up as an exchange student. Rated M
