Nursery Time with TLS: come and see the new babies (new stories we love)

Welcome to the TLS Nursery. This is where we display the new babies, (stories) born within the last 30 days, that we are extremely excited about.

There is something completely thrilling and satisfying, about finding a story, right from it's beginning, knowing how wonderful it is, and will be, and watching it grow into an adult completed fic.

By visiting the TLS nursery each month, you too, can watch them grow with us! All of the stories listed below have been read and approved by TLS as great reading material.

Meet the Masens by FictionFreak95
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6987169/1/Meet_the_Masens
Edward Cullen was done with cons until Marcus Volturi pulled him back in for one more job with his new front man, Bella Swan. Edward wants out for good but in a world based on deceit, who can he trust? AH BxE possible lemons if they don't kill each other

I WAS OUT LOUD READING THIS. FUNNIEST STORY I HAVE EVER READ, TO DATE. Masen is so sexy-sarcastic, tall, witty, beautiful and more than intelligent. The Prologue will hook you alone, the first chapter will have you wrapped.

There is a Light by BelladonnaCullen
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7015642/1/There_is_a_Light
This was 1987; before the Internet, before Twitter, before Facebook – this was back when it was still possible for people not to know about things: big things - like bands, and little things - like G-spots. AH, ExB, with some other parings along the way.

Keds, Turtlenecks from the Gap, and cassette tapes. Oh, don't let me forget a band. A band called The Masens. Seth and Jacob idolize this band. When super cute and tall, almond-eyed, skater Seth, asks Bella to come over after school, she knows what she must do. She takes a trip to the record store in the mall.  What Bella doesn't know is when she purchases The Masen's music and memorizes all of their stats, she will be falling in love with more than just a few lyrics. This story makes me smile ear to ear while reading. I love every character I've met, well, except for the b*tches, of course. You will want to inhale this story.

Don’t You Forget About Me by 107yearoldvirgin
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7048458/1/Dont_You_Forget_About_Me
Figuring out "Why am I here?" is hard enough on its own. Six strangers with nothing in common, except each other... and a mental hospital, have been given eight hours to figure it all out. This is the chance of their lives. AH/ExB

I know. I know. This alone, is cause for a celebration. The 107 has posted again!!! I was ecstatic to find one of her stories live again. I have a deep driven love for 107yearoldvirgin. I've loved every one of her stories and find that I can go to her for any read and never come out disappointed. Same with this story. I can't say anything about this one because it will spoil the fun for you. Please just trust me when I say, GO MEET ALICE. If you don't cackle when you meet her, check your pulse. In just 2 days this story has over 700 reviews, I think that speaks for itself.

HERE ARE A FEW MORE THAT COME HIGHLY REC'D FROM THE LOVELY NIC, JAIME ARKIN, AND BUSYMOMMY - THESE REC'S ARE ALL SEALED WITH A KISS AND THE OFFICIAL TLS STAMP OF APPROVAL!

Perceptions by GiveUsAKiss413

Society told them exactly what they should be, and it's so much easier to stop fighting it. A depressed, successful Edward, and a debt ridden, beautiful Bella come together to finally be themselves. AH, B/E, E/T, a smattering of B/Jasper. Dark.

The Elusive Mr. Cullen by dariachenowith
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6972004/1/The_Elusive_Mr_Cullen
Bella is a high class escort, Edward her newest client. They soon realize that there's more between them than great sex and witty conversations. While Bella doesn't believe in fairy tales, her life seems to be turning into one fast. Or is it? AH/OOC

Once and Future Lovers by littlesecret84
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6996824/1/
He told me once that he preferred brunettes, but his fingers were always playing with long, blonde strands. He could never make up his mind... until he did. And now that I'm back I don't think he deserves a second chance.

SOUL by denverpopcorn
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6928840/1/
Meet Edward Cullen, boy next door, dreamer, and self-proclaimed virgin. Take a journey with him as he heads out in search of The One. AH. EPOV, E/B.

Everything's Bigger In Texas

Today I'm celebrating Non-Canon Pairings and I'll throw in some Canon as well :)

I'll start off with Jasper/Bella

Insecurities by James Ramsey

Suddenly I realized the family had it wrong. I had it wrong. Jasper was not attacking me and Edward was not protecting me. AU OOC Rated M to be safe - My first story - WINNER of two 'Everything's Bigger In Texas' Awards

Emmett/Bella

Just Like You by Irenella Courmett

Emmett is a carefree, fun guy with a trust fund. Bella is a young college student with a bright future. A one night stand has consequences they don't expect or are prepared for. AH. Rated M.

Just Like You by Irenella Courmet is a favorite of mine despite any spelling errors.  I remember the summer that this story posted and I couldn't get enough of it. Waiting for updates was truly agonizing for this one.

Carlisle/Bella

Dinnertime by GiveUsAKiss413

I needed to be seen." How low can someone go to feel clean lines and order? How much can someone take just because he can? Lemons, no sugar. Bella/Carlisle, of course. Just because it's funny doesn't mean it's fluff. Sex and breakdowns. No surface.

Have a favorite Non-Canon rec? Leave a comment with a link and we'll check it out!

Shout goes to Betti Gefecht for her crazy banner, blinkie, blogger, musical and writing skills. The woman is crazy talented. She has some great stories on ffn as well. I've posted a teaser to her story Little Green and Easybella below.

(BELLA)

"It feels weird being divorced, doesn't it?"

That word, mercilessly catapulted from his lips, ricochets off the marble walls in the stairway like a bullet. And when the projectile finally hits it really hurts. Divorced!

It's official; we signed the papers this morning. Why does it sting so much to hear him say it out loud? Why now, after months (years?) of acquainting myself with the idea of getting... divorced?

"Bella...?"

I don't need to look up at him. I can tell from the oh so familiar sound of his voice that he's going to apologize for the umpteenth time, and I know I can't stand it. I just can't.

"I'm ok. It just does feel weird, you're right." There's no way the smile I'm forcing onto my face reaches my eyes. It's just sad, but he buys it anyway; like he used to do... always. That is even sadder, and I want to cry. Like fucking now. Of course I don't.

"Friends, right? Bells?"

I pull him into a hug, that brother-sister kind of hug we have made a habit of.

"Friends for ever, promise!" I want to cry. Badly.

"I love you, baby." He kisses the top of my head, and it's like I'm slowly coming apart, disintegrating into my atomic components. It feels unreal. He lets go of me and takes a step back. "I want to thank you, you know... for everything. I know I gave you a hard time. You deserve so much better, and-"

I quickly cut in before I lose my shit completely, "It's ok. I'm ok."

I will cry later.

"Just... thank you." His voice is barely above a whisper. The uncomfortable silence that follows is something new between us, and suddenly all I can think of is that I want him to go, so this torture will come to an end. Finally he speaks again, "You sure about the car?"

No I'm not sure about the car or the house or you and me or anything just take it and leave so I can finally crash and mourn the loss of my marriage and my best friend and any idea of what to do with my life without you...

"Yes, I am. We've been over that a hundred times. I really don't need a car, but you do."

I shrug, grimacing in an attempt to muster another assuring smile. His answering smile is genuine; he believes me so easily. The tiny nutshell he lives in rearranges itself to his liking; in his own little world, everything is in perfect order again. And I envy him.

I would like to add that my bff has texted me all morning with musings about the fic that's pwning her right now ---> Eight Days a Week by 107yearoldvirgin
