Home Ice Advantage, o/s

I love this one shot! So often people try to play off a scene or an introduction as a one-shot, but you gave the full arc of a story with this one. I love that Bella is a season ticket holding hockey fan! Obviously this is not a story about your Pens, because they have hardly needed rebuilding years. My hubs and I used to drive over a couple times of year to the Igloo before we got our Blue Jackets. :)

Back to the story! I love that it is a gradual build. He spots her, and it is an almost shy flirtation composed of glances and soft smiles and speculative friends. The kiss at the end was perfect, because it was the moment. There was great energy from the win building up to the second he strides up to her at the bar.

Very well done!

Impossible Situations, o/s

My heart hurts. This is like the "Midnight Sun" I yearned for. I think you captured Gale perfectly in this view of him watching the games, realizing his love for Katniss, and then the pain of losing her before he ever had the chance to make her his. The line about how "his Katniss" died in the aren was poignant.

Just...wow.

Double Team, o/s

Such a sweet little story. I can hear the sounds of the crunching leaves, smell the distinct flavors of fall, and who doesn't enjoy a game of backyard football?

Today, Tomorrow, Next Year, o/s

Though I, myself, was left on a plateau of meh at the end of Mockingjay, you once again come into my brain with soft words and significance and make things better. You have artfully crafted the desire for happiness. You with subtle

movements and honest words conveyed healing.

It was them coming into the light. It was real.

Summary: Bella's a bit saucy, not a blush to be found...Edward's a tired resident with hidden treasures...A chance meeting in the freezer aisle...Is it fate? A Tattward & Inkella One Shot Entry

Every once in a while I go back and revisit old contests to check out the entries that didn't get much notice, to see if there is a gem that was over-looked. It is in the archives of the Tattward & Inkella contest that I stumbled across "Freezer Aisle Head Trauma". How I ever missed this the first time around, I have no idea. First, it has an intriguing title. Next, the summary (which we all know sucks to write), a saucy Bella and a Dr.Ward, yes and fuck yes.

This all kicks off, as the title suggests, in a grocery store. Both Edward and Bella are picking up a few things for dinner on their way home from work, when Edward finds Bella trying to retrieve her favorite ice cream.

Edward had spotted her in the freezer aisle as she bent over to reach the bottom shelf. She was wearing a pale yellow skirt that hugged her shape until just above her knees where it flared out showing off her legs. The shape of her hips made his palms itch grab a hold of them and learn their shape by heart.

Visions of those same hips sans the skirt began to affect the fit of his scrubs as his cock began to swell. As he stepped closer to her she leaned just a little further into the freezer causing her thin silky blue shirt to slip and show a narrow strip of skin on her back.

He barely held back a groan at the sight of the ink on her back. It looked like flames but there was not enough skin showing to tell for sure. His fingers then began to twitch with the urge to reach out and slide her shirt further up her back so he could indulge himself with the sight of her tattoo. He was so involved in his fantasy of tracing the ink on her back to find out how far it extended that he didn't realize that he had moved to stand almost directly behind her. The woman suddenly sighed and took a step back from the freezer. Before Edward could move away she backed into him and stopped.

Startled, Bella stands up too fast knocking her head into the shelf. A domino affect occurs where he drops his basket to catch her, they slip in the mess his shattered basket causes, and end up in a heap on the floor. After some debate, Edward insists that Bella let him take her to the hospital, call a friend, or take her home with him, so her head injury can be monitored.

"I'll make you a deal" He said. "I'll drive you to my house, it's not far from here, you can use my shower and I'll loan you some clothes while yours get washed. I'll even order dinner since we aren't presentable for a night out. I'll even promise to be a gentleman." The crooked grin he flashed at her made up her mind. A chance to get into his house and shower may just provide an opportunity to scratch the itch that had tormented her all day.

"I accept your offer," She grinned with a twinkle in her eye, "as long I get to chose dinner and you take back your offer to be a gentleman."

After she almost slips again getting up, Edward swoops Bella up into his arms, and they start out to his car. On the way, she sees his piercings in his ears, which starts a conversation about them. As they flirt and tease their way to his car, a conversation about their tattoos also begins.

Their rush to Edward's house is briefly way laid when they both receive phones calls. Turns out they had both promised to meet up with friends and/or family tonight, who were trying to hook them up. The friends/family are all one in the same little be known to Edward and Bella. Alas, they both blow off their commitment to continue their night together. Only their friends are the wiser that they are completing the evening how they had hoped.

Once back at Edward's apartment, they waste no time:

"Do you want a tour?"

"Edward," she said "the only room I'm interested in right now is your bedroom."

The rest of the story plays out as they explore piercings with tongues and tattoos with touches.

"I hope you left the gentleman outside the bedroom, Edward" growled Bella.

Edward leaned over piercing her with his burning eyes.

"You can fucking bet on it" he growled back and with that he moved up and thrust into her.

I'll leave you to discover the rest of the delicious lemon on your own. In the end, she leaves us with them cluing into their friends' secret, as they head to a post-coital shower. This story left me smiling, and knowing these two had lots of good times in and out of the bedroom ahead of them.

Final talley
---------------
Edward: four tattoos, 3 ear & 2 nipple piercings
Bella: 3 tattoos, numerous ear & 1 belly button piercing
Bethie: fanning herself

Title: Deceptive Little Flower

Author: LoreliD

Summary: Jane satisfies a long harbored carnal curiosity as only Jane would. Canon Jane lemon O/S

I have to admit, since seeing Eclipse, I have a new fascination with Jane. I was glued to the screen whenever she was on it. She felt like the only character with depth, and the contrast they did with her eyes and skin tone with her black coat. Glorious. I digress. So, it is not surprising that I pimped this Jane one-shot to my fellow Anything Goes h00rs.

In this story, we don’t find Jane as a prepubescent doll, but as a young woman exploring her sexuality. It is hinted at that she shares Aro’s bed, but with Heidi’s encouragement, she seeks a new kind of pleasure.

"The scent of his arousal, the thrill of fear when he realizes his coming death, it will only add to your satisfaction," she coaxed suggestively.

LoreliD does an amazing job at her descriptions of the surroundings, Jane, and the human boy she is pursuing. I found myself absolutely in the moment from being able to picture, and almost feel, the “crumbling green entombed stone benches” to the smell of the “damp brick wall”. My senses were completely absorbed by her writing.

I loved watching Jane in this story “give in”. She lets the human “dominate her”.

I gasped in excited shock, no one within the Volturi ever dared to display any dominance over me, and this weak human's ignorant control was beyond exhilarating.

The lemon isn’t the longest one ever written, but you feel in the moment as Jane shifts from enjoying this role play and the feeling of the warm human consuming her to her baser needs taking over.

I could feel my urge growing. As he swelled inside of me, his cock throbing in time with his pulsating artery, I brought my lips to his and kissed him once more.

I love how she finishes the moment. It is beautiful, but I will leave it for you to experience on your own.

Title: Scintillating Pattern, o/s

Author: Whitlock-Masen

This was a great story of a person taking their first steps into sexuality. This is not only a teen coming to the final realization that he is gay, but making his way through first experiences with someone he has long admired. Someone he thought was inaccessible to him.

I love the responsibility you have Garrett take in the mis-communication. Edward's fault is naivete, but I love how Garrett takes it on him as the more experienced partner and realizes that Edward has no point of reference for any of this.

Finally, their first experience was sweet and them. It's nice to leave them knowing they are going on their first actualized date.

Very sweet tale.

Is it wrong that I kept worrying the whole time that they were going to tip the bike? LOL! Little did you know that I have a piece on Bikerward/sper/whomever coming up. I now have another to add to my list!

Thanks for uniting smut and motorcycles. It's my kryptonite.

Forever and Always, o/s

That was a lovely one-shot. I like that life wasn't always sunshine and roses for them. It was realistic while being romantic. We all have our shares of trouble, but it is the devotion to working things out that keeps us together in the end.

Thanks for sharing!

Title: No Ordinary Appointment
Author: pange

Words: 3258

Reviews: 33

Summary: Jasper's bad day takes a turn for the better at his evening appointment. My entry for the "For the Love of Jasper" contest. One-shot. Rated 'M' for language and explicit situations.

"I may be Jasper Whitlock, 6'2', almost 200 pounds, and known to make grown men cry for their mamas with just a change of my tone, but that woman scares the shit out of me."

pange sets the tone right away as we watch a frantic Jasper debates whether the greater crime for his Nana Whitlock is his scruffiness or tardiness. He decides to stop for the haircut in the end. Entering what looks like a sexually ambiguous salon, he enters to find himself the sole patron of an obviously feminine establishment. He questions the choice when he spots the beautiful proprietor in the back. After practically begging, who we find out is Bella, to cut his hair, the rest of the hair cut is a magical combination of descriptions both specific,

"...digging into my scalp with her fingertips and massaging."

to lyrical descriptions,

"Hell, she smelled like sin, like temptation in a jazz club with Ella singing on stage."

I could feel the tingle of my scalp as Bella washes and cuts Jasper's hair as if I am the one sitting in the chair, only second to how she builds up Jasper's arousal. By the time the hair cut is complete, and his cape is removed revealing his...enthusiasm. I am reading to crawl onto him myself. Luckily, after a quick lock of the shop door, Bella does that for us, leading Jasper to the massage room. The lemon that ensues is sexy and fun, leaving me sated with the story but in desperate need for my own peen.

My favorite thing of all, is the twist at the end. It made everything in this story even better.

::snicker::

One crazy round of Twitter brainstorming, and you get a one-shot! LOL! I like that you had her share his fetish. :) The line when she was first at his house, and she asked for the disinfecting wipes made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for bringing our madness to life!

The Boy That Grew Up, o/s

What a sweet tale! I love this idea of Edward on the verge of manhood, returning to Neverland for one last goodbye. I always felt bad for Tinkerbell, because it was obvious that she loved Peter, though could never have him. I like your twist on her getting one moment to be big, and get a kiss before Edward left.

Then to find out that Bella had become every bit of a woman, with grown up needs and desires. I was curious how far you would take it, but alas, Canon Edward made his chivalrous appearance. :)

Very sweet tale.

Geekward Shuffle Challenge,
About A Geek, o/s

I really liked the two characters you created here. The painfully awkward and shy Edward paired with the effervescent Bella. This couple could be very interesting to read for several chapters. This one-shot would be great as a beginning of a story but with more time between the dry hump on the beach and the declarations. I think it would suit them better with a slow courtship.

I do like these characters, though, and I hope you are inspired to spend more time with them in the future at a slower pace.

An Officer and A Gentleman Contest,
Camouflage, o/s

I really enjoyed the story you created here. I love some good love from a distance. The fact you had her sitting at his table in his chair while he was gone was a great touch. Sometimes it doesn't take much for two souls to find each other and know that is it.

Now they are both starting their careers. Starting their family. Starting their life together and apart all at once.

Good luck in the contest!

Semper Fidelis, o/s

I love this story!

Let's start with the obvious. The sex in this story is MOLTEN. Surface of the sun HOT! I think it is so, because it is the love between seasoned lovers. Once you are with someone for so long, you know just where to touch them. Just what to do to make them come (or cum) undone. There was also that wonderful element of teasing and demanding that you are only comfortable testing the boundaries of with someone you trust.

Then just their story itself unfolding on either side of the physical reunion. Her obvious pride and commitment to him and their relationship. I love that you noted that they don't always agree fundamentally, but when both parties have an absolute idea of self, you can respect their steadfastness. Bella doesn't doubt Edward nor he her, because they are so unwavering in their character.

Wonderful, wonderful job.

Good luck in the contest!

The Tracker, o/s

Liking Secret Seviceward, though will he still be as sexy when he is unemployedward for not doing his job. Bella was selfish to ask him to stay. I liked the idea of the story. Might have been sexier if he had convinced her that if she cared for him, she would let him do his job. To show he cared for her by protecting her forger from one who would harm her.

Good luck in the contest!

An Officer and A Gentleman Contest,
In the Name of the Law, o/s

I love how you wrote Edward's confidence in this story. It is not cocky or aloof, but just steadfast. Everything about how you wrote him exudes a confidence. Yet, you coupled it with a caring, genuine guy. I like that you displayed a recent history with the two of them. That they had been interacting as friends since they both returned home, so this wasn't an out of the blue one-night stand or I am instantly in love with you type of story. This was something that was building over time.

The scene with him pinning her against the wall when the person tried to break into the house had my girly bits cheering. Protective, sexy man!

Good luck in the contest!

Out of the Ashes, o/s

I loved this look at post-war Berlin! Out of the several historical pieces in this contest, this one by far glowed in authenticity. The language, the dress, the details were all genuine to the time. Bravo for that!

The sweetness of Edward's actions and hers as well was lovely. Then who couldn't help but fantasize about such an act of kindness after so much hurt and heartache, especially when it comes in such a handsome package!

Good luck in the contest!

An Officer and A Gentleman Contest,
I'll Be Seeing You, o/s

I really liked the fact that you had him be captured. It added a great piece of drama to the story, and reflected a reality of war. Their reunion outside the house was beautiful. I also love all of the letter writing.

Good luck in the contest!

An Officer and A Gentleman Contest,
Today, o/s

There was so much emotion in this story. I think them in the shower together was one of the most touching moments I have read in fan fiction. No lie. His despair and her earnestness in his facing and moving past the guilt put me in the moment. I could feel the love of this relationship. Her steadfastness with a man who would not come home with a smile on his face every day, and when he brought his work home it meant death and pain. Yet, she so effortlessly picked that burden from him. Centered him. Wow.

I really enjoyed this story.

Good luck in the contest!
