Lemon Drops
April 13, 2011

Sometimes, it doesn’t take a whole story to get you in the mood, just a one-shot can do the trick.  Here are some outstanding one shots to get you over that mid-week hump and rev you up for the weekend ahead.  Hope you enjoy them!  

The featured one shot this week comes from one of our own:

Best Night of my Life by jordan929
What happens when workaholic, uptight Edward meets carefree Bella in a club? Will sparks fly? Will they have the best night of their lives? *Winner of EdwardGetsFicd Contest. AH ExB Rated M for language and lemons

Jordan929 is our very own Twi-Guy Jcs on the Lemonade Stand and this is not only a contest winning fic, but the very first one he has written!  He is definitely off to an amazing start as a writer.  

Edward is aworkaholic with little to no social life.  His brother Emmett bullies Edward into joining him and Jasper for a night on the town with “the guys.” Of course, the minute they get in the club, the guys disappear, leaving Edward alone at the bar.  Well alone until he sees a pretty brunette dancing on the side of the dance floor, wearing a VERY short mini skirt and CFMs.

I gotta say, Edward is slick.  His pick up line rocks!  Check this out:
When I was directly behind her I leaned down and whispered "Should I take your shoes as an invitation?" into her ear, noticing the shiver that ran down her body when I spoke.

Smooth Eddie boy, real smooth! So, a dance, an ass rind, some wall finger sex, and they haven’t even made it out of the club yet.  By the time they make it in the front door of Edward’s apartment, a blow job in the elevator is added, too.  This story is a fun little sex romp so go give it a read and show a guy some love!

My Jasper Pick:

All For You by Twilightobsessed09
Bella Swan has always been the friend and never the girlfriend. But when she lands her dream job as a physical therapist for her favorite football team, The Washington Redskins, things start to look up. My entry for the Curvaceous and Bodacious Contest.  

I had to rec this one for two reasons. First, Jasper fic!!  Second, Washington Redskins, my team!!  DOUBLE WIN for me!!  

Recommended by the ladies of TLS: 

Pickpocket by MandyLeigh87
One Shot for the Fandom for Preemies. Bella thrives on slipping money, wallets and jewels from people but what happens when she messes with the wrong guy? Rated M B/E AH

Matriculating by Kayla Ariev
I wrote this after being inspired by the September Challenge over at Novel Novice Twilight. Now, I run the fan fic challenges at NNT, so obviously, I couldn't submit this story. But I really wanted to explore Bella's first time back in school as a vampire -- and this is what happened!

Same Time Tomorrow Ms. Swan by Savage7289
For the Twificpics Pick a Pic Challenge - Executive Edward is tired of his brand of hand lotion, but doesn't have time to date. What's the solution? Call in a "nooner" from a company of ill-repute. All smut all the time. Rated M for obvious reasons.

The Green Eyed Monster Comes Out to Play by kimpy0464
Bella Swan is a nurse in the Pediatric ICU, where Dr. Edward Cullen works. Sexual tension has been building between them for months. Will a session of heavy flirting over tequila shots resolve it? Second place winner in the Parkaward Contest.


Check them out and enjoy and let them know that The Lemonade Stand and busymommy sent you.  Make sure you come back and tell me what you loved or what you hated, too.  Don’t forget to drop by our group on FB and say hi!  If you have a rec for an awesome one shot you think needs more exposure, share it with us! Until next week, SMOOCHES!

SPOTLIGHT ON JASPER

The Lemonade Stand is an equal opportunity ficstributor.

I myself, tend to adore an ExB fic but I have read and loved countless non-canon pairings as well. I would like to spotlight the Jasper and Bella pairing today. Below I've posted a teaser from a favorite Jasper lover of mine, busymommy. GUFTT has won several awards and has a Surfsper you can't resist.



Going Under for the Third Time by busymommy

“You know, I’d seen you before the night Alice introduced us.” Where the hell did that come from? I was so not ready to play true confessions.

“Really? Where?” The pictures were forgotten as Bella turned to look at me.

I swallowed hard and looked down. Fuck! This was going to sound stupid.

“Uh, yeah. It was the first day Emmett and I were in town. We’d gone out for lunch while we were waiting for the decision on the house and I saw you reading in a park across the street.” Looking at her face to watch her reaction, I continued, “You looked so…content. Em encouraged me to go talk to you, but I didn’t. Then, I saw you again the next day when I was grabbing us some subs. You were heading out to your truck and I watched you until you left. Then, the next night, Alice and Edward encouraged us to go out with them for a little while. I was shocked when I finally met you face to face at Smackwater’s and you turned out to be Alice’s best friend.”

Bella’s cheeks colored as a light blush crept up them. “And now?”
“And now…” I began, lifting her chin with my finger, “now I’m glad you still came to the beach, even after I spilled beer all over you and acted like a complete ass the first night you met me.” And dipping my head, I placed my lips on hers, sliding my other hand under her hair.

Bella leaned into my kiss, her arms moving around my neck as she opened her mouth and her tongue ghosted over my bottom lip. Standing on her toes, her body pressed into mine. Our mouths played across each other, our tongues stroking, seeking more. I moved my hand from her chin, holding her against me as I let myself just live in the moment.

-Teaser from Chapter 14: I'll Shoot the Moon

Also check out busymommy's other new fic : Let Your Fingers do the Talking- This one started off as a one shot, an entry into the Dirty Talking Jasper Contest and is now continued!

What happens when PAW meets The Dick?


That's right folks. PAW (PunkAssWard) from jaxon22's monster fic "A Pound of Flesh" will be stopping by the TLS Billiards lounge for a game of pool with none other than FictionFreak95's The Dick from "Edward Cullen, Dick for Hire"

You can find links to both of these stories here. You can also click on story titles above.

For months, I have wondered what it would be like, to have two of my favorite wards in the same room together, answering questions that we, their fans, have for them. 

Stay tuned to see who will be our surprise guest interviewer. You don't wanna miss this. Please check out the videos below for each fic.

Betti Gefecht did an amazing job making the promo banner (above post) for this feature. Betti is the author of 7 stories for Twilight, including Little Green and Easybella, her newest story.  I can't tell you how amazing this woman is. Not only does she make some of the most amazing banners and gifs I've seen, but she also sings, writes and makes videos! Please take a minute to check out some of her stuff:
