Tuesday's Best 9-28-2010

Good morning, my lovelies! Hope this day finds you well, happy, and healthy. Captain Jezebel and I have found a couple of gems we're just dying to share with you, so grab your towels, fresh panties, and a box of Kleenex (just in case) and let's get to it!

~*~*~*~*~*~

*big hugs and kisses* Captain Jezebel here with another slasheriffic tale to offer up for your reading pleasure. Luckily for those of us who love fic of the slashy kind, there are many contests geared towards our favorite flavor. Whenever I see a slash contest I check it out immediately because I know I will find some brand new deliciousness. The Slash Backslash 2.0 contest did not disappoint this year bringing us a slew of lovely one shots. In fact I was happy to see some of my favorites place. This is why my next two recs shall be stories that I discovered while reading the many wonderful entries.

If you have been reading How to Turn a Straight Guy Gay, you will know that Lou-La is capable of writing a wonderful slash story. When I saw that she entered the SBS contest I knew Straight Edge would be a must read, it quickly became one of my favorites.

A tattooed, pierced, free spirited Edward Cullen moves to small town Alabama only to have his family become the victims of the small-minded community. The backlash of his outward appearance and care free attitude is so severe that many of the towns people instruct their children not to associate with Edward. His father, a doctor, is constantly asked why he and his wife would let Edward alter the body god gave him at only 16 years of age. Edward’s parent’s are supportive of his need to express himself in the form of body art.

Enter Jasper Whitlock the son of two ‘God-fearing’ parents, as he puts it; especially his mother whom he dubs as one of the most hypocritical in the town. Jasper’s mother has forbidden him to fraternize with the Cullen boy....then why is he so fascinated by him? Jasper often watches from afar, completely enthralled by the boy, taking in his movements, his demeanor, his...body as he swims naked. Edward’s nude body is something that Jasper finds incredibly spellbinding, even more so because of his ink. Why can’t he look away? What about this boy has him so mesmerized?

I'd seen boys naked before in the locker room, but I'd never ever been interested in watching or seeing them nude, but Edward was so different. I couldn't peel my eyes away from the lithe movement of his body—his lank, defined body. I noticed everything, I liked everything; from the way his hair sometimes seemed to have a red tint to it in the sunlight to the way his abs tightened and bunched when he laughed to the way his second toes were longer than his firsts. I especially noticed, and liked, the way he hung heavy and large between his legs, his uncircumcised penis swinging hypnotically as he laughingly waded into the water.

...

I watched as he swam and dove and played. All alone, he entertained himself, seemingly perfectly at ease and happy. He was amazing.

Will Jasper discover what is causing these feelings inside him? Will he have the courage to stand against the bigots within his town and his own family to befriend Edward? Deep down he can see that Edward is a good kid, not unlike himself, so why all the hate?

I have to say this one shot stirred something up in me. It was beautifully written and you can feel the sweetness of first discoveries flying off the screen. Maybe I identify with it, because I have dealt with many bigots, and small-minded people in my life *shrugs* but all I know is that you gotta read it...and I promise you will enjoy it very much. Check it out, and don’t forget to leave Lou-La some kind words if you do ;)

~*~*~*~*~*~

Good lord, fiberkitty’s done it again! What has she done, you ask? Why, written a fantabulous piece of fic, that’s what! We all know (and really, if you don’t by now, then where the hell have you been hiding?) that she’s awesome with slash, and has a particular knack for all things poly. Perfect Balance is, well, a perfect example of this.

Jake and Bella are married, love each other more than life - and are not monogamous. They’re in Chicago where they were supposed to surprise their boyfriend...only the surprise was on them. Deciding to make the most of things, they enjoyed the time in town. On their last full day in town, something unexpected happens.

Everything seemed to go fast from there. Edward was running late for an appointment, so we all stood up. And, he hugged me. Not some 'just met up with an old friend' type hug. One of those "honest-to-goodness, shoulder to hip, squeezing tight, I never want to let you go" hugs and I was in love. No, not love, as in "I love this man and want to marry him." I was in love with him. Butterflies, pins and needles up and down my arms and legs, and the dire need to somehow see him again. Staring me in the face was the fact that Edward lives in Chicago and we are a day and a half's drive from here in Seattle.

When Edward kissed Jake quickly after a hug similar to the one he had given me, a chaste kiss, but one nonetheless, I was both jealous and turned on. Holy fucking hell was I turned on. I processed the jealousy, tucking it into its place of "I wanted that kiss, dammit" pouting, and set about ignoring it. The arousal had no reset button. Now, I had seen Jake with James, and I'd even seen him kissing Seth, the first guy we had tried sharing, but this, this was just something else. Jake dwarfed Edward's tall but thin frame, and was easily twice his weight, maybe more. Hell, I think I was twice his weight. They were just beautiful together.

The bells above the door tinkled sadly as he departed, and I felt empty with the loss of his presence, and I really wanted to know why he had kissed Jake and not me. "He's gay, Bella." Jake pushed me back into the booth and scooted in next to me. "I've heard James mention the name 'Edward Cullen' before. It had something to do with giving The Nomads a shitty review. I think he had turned down James' advances. Edward is solely interested in men, Sweetie. Sorry crushing on the new guy isn't going to work at distracting you from a broken heart."

Is this it? A quick meeting, and all hope is lost? Or could there possibly be more? I would love to give you more, but then what would there be left for you to read? ;-) Check it out for yourselves, and be sure to leave kitty lots of love. 

~*~*~*~*~*~

And that's it for this week. Be sure to give these wonderful ladies some well-deserved love, and check back next week to see what Aradi and I have in store for you.

Slash Guest Author Rec - mynameisserendipity

Hi Twi-Slashers!

I just can’t believe that I am actually doing a rec’ for TwiSlash Unveiled! I am incredibly nervous about it, especially as I am reading lots of incredible stories and had to choose only a few among them. That was by far the hardest.

So here is my selection of fics for today:

The Bad Boys Fics:

“Dark Salvation” by Kittenmischief (aka Fiberkitty and mischief-maker1) was one of the very first fics I read that contained slash.

Edward is a surgeon, who is completely depressed after the loss of one of his patients. He turns to Jasper, an unconventional therapist with a very dark past, to heal. The story is VERY dark and about a Dom/sub relationship. The plot twist is just amazing! The authors had me addicted to their story so much that I stayed awake a whole night to get to read the last chapter and then shared on forum with the others readers.

The storyline is very interesting; the whole thing is beautifully written and sexy as hell. And you get to read the Sequel “Dark Jewel”, which describes Edward’s life in Jasper’s universe.

So if you missed this story or didn’t start the sequel yet, go, read, and review these two ladies!

If you are not into D/s fiction, no worries, here is another kind of bad boys that will surely satisfy you!

Always fantasized about a Gangsper/Bondward story? Are you attracted by danger and lust? Well, this is the perfect story for you:

“The Edge of Love” by OCDJen 

Edward Cullen is an undercover British agent in charge to bring down Jasper Whitlock, one of the most dangerous and powerful mob bosses.

The storyline is incredibly exciting and full of sexual tensions. The author manages to slowly get you inside the perilous and dark world of crimes, while driving you crazy with frustration. The attraction between the two main characters is palpable and so well written that you will soon join me to beg her for the next chapter!

I love how the author created such complex characters. Edward is constantly struggling between his duty and the attraction he has for the man he is supposed to put in jail. Jasper is a real criminal, not afraid to kill, with a mysterious and traumatizing past that Edward has to discover.

The whole story is very compelling, keeping you on edge, always wanting for more.

So if you want to lose yourself in the arms of some sexy and dangerous men, run and devour this fiction!

The Angst Fics

I know how much some of you love dramas, heartbreaks, and make-up sex, so I have two amazing fictions for you that will completely fit these requirements.

“Destination” by Kerrfrano.

Jasper and Edward met on a plane and spent the next twenty-four hours having sex before one of them disappeared, just leaving a note. The next time they see each other, they finally get more time together and fall deeply in love with each other. But one of them disappeared, once again just leaving a note. What will happen the next time they meet?

I can’t tell you, but I can swear it is worth reading it! The author is able to mix angst and hot lemons to create a perfectly heartbreaking plot. You want to know more about these two characters, especially Edward, who stays a mystery for quite some time. You want to hug them or shake some sense in them. You want them to be happy, and at the same time you can’t get enough of their misfortune.

It’s a delight to read, so click on the link, enjoy, and review!

“It’s all relative” by Mauralee88.

The story begins with a devastated Edward leaving Jasper, certain that the man he loves is in fact in love with someone else. The author bravely pushes you directly in the heart of the drama before telling you, little by little, what happened to her characters.

This is a brilliant family drama, where true love fights against first love, where misunderstandings lead to pain and cries and you wish you could jump inside the story and tell them all what is really happening. But all you can do is sit back and enjoy this awesome ride.

This well-written fiction is certainly worth reading, so give the author some love while you’re discovering her story.

The Sweet Fic:

I want to finish with a light and fluffy note, because sometimes, real life drama is just too much to handle and all you crave is something funny and sugary.

“Mismatch Made in Heaven” by Mrs Agget is just what you need then!

Rough cowboy Edward is falling hard for shy and geeky Jasper, helping him to get out of his shell and getting more confident to face the world.

The plot is full of tenderness, delicious lemons, and funny moments. The author invites you into the world of barrel races and country music, where the Cullens are finally less refined to just be more human, playful and teasing. I just love the humor of the story and how the characters evolved. The storyline is well done too, mixing sweetness and drama, but always keeping you contented.

If you want to end your day with a smile on your face, this fiction is perfect for you.

Voilà!

I am done.

I hope you will find something to your liking in this rec! And Thank You Nae for giving me the chance to share some of my fave fics with you all!

Tuesday's Best - Jan 26th, 2010

Welcome To TwiSlash Unveiled!

Tuesdays we bring you the best slash stories we can find, and we have come up with some good ones today. Get ready, grab some towels, get comfortable and enjoy! We have, and we know you will, too.

Whitlock's Girl brings you...

Yes, Master
by fiberkitty

As a huge fiberkitty fan, I, of course, have her on author alert and so, when Yes, Master hit my inbox I was giddy for another FK story. Especially once I read the pairing - y'all know how much I like unusual pairings - and the summary was freaking fab, but nothing compared to the actual oneshot.

Here's a tiny excerpt of Master Edward and the deliciousness that is Seth.

As if he read my mind, his teeth plucked the wedge from my mouth and he pulled back, dropping the lime to the side of my body. Edward smiled, almost predatorily. “I bet you'd like to earn my lips on you again, wouldn't you, Seth?”

I nodded and he smirked. “You've wanted me a long time, Clearwater. Tonight's your night. Follow me.”

Now, GO! READ, ENJOY and REVIEW! I hope you'll also follow me in begging fiberkitty for MORE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naelany brings you...


Ya gotta love contests. Mistrezboo pointed me towards this story, and I'm so glad I checked it out. It's another entry for the Slash/Backslash contest, called Uncomfortable and it popped Savannah-Vee's Slash-cherry.

When Jasper goes to meet his girlfriend's family for the first time, he's a little uncomfortable with how her brother is continually watching him. You follow Jasper as he has several interactions over a span of time, all of them awkward and...well...uncomfortable. I can't really say too much more about it, as it would give far too much away. It is just a one-shot, after all.

Here's a little something though, and I hope you'll check out the rest for yourself.

I try to ignore the way I notice those eyes boring into my skull as we sit around the dinner table. I try to ignore the way he watches me closely as I eat the strawberry ice cream his mom has made for dessert. I try to ignore the way his eyes are following the spoon as it makes its way into my mouth, and the way he intently watches my lips as they close around it. I try not to be conscious of the way he stops eating his own ice cream, his spoon frozen in mid air, to gaze at me as my tongue licks my lips after I swallow, and the way his pink tongue pokes out and trails over his own lips languidly when I do.

I for one, am really hoping this gets continued. I would love to know what's going through the brother's head (yes, I am mean and not giving away who it is, read that for yourself ;-)). I would love to see some resolution to this. What do you say, Savannah-Vee? ;-)

A little addendum here, Savannah-Vee's continued the story, though I haven't yet managed to read it (been a little busy with the writing), I have had a little look-see and it's looking good. I still wonder about the brother though, S-V. Just sayin' ;)

Tuesday's Best~October 6th, 2009

Whitlock's Girl brings you...

The Ranch Hand

by FiberKitty

I was teased and tantalized with this story during WC after WC while Kitty was writing it and I was so tickled when it went live and even more tickled when the "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" contest announced that FiberKitty's The Ranch Hand took first place. If you like Jasper and Emmett and you like Emsper stories then dear sweet fucking Jesus Christ this story is the one for you.

Emmett runs into an old friend and is offered a job. The job is on a ranch and owner of said ranch is Jasper Whitlock. Emmett has had a thing for Jasper for a long while, but since Jasper is with Alice, Emmett is stuck in the space between a rock and a hard place.

On the first day, Emmett can't help but whack off to the images of Jasper - hot, sweaty, and dusty Jasper. The thing is, from his spot in the bathroom, Emmett hears Jasper in the bedroom, self-servicing himself.

I don't want to give too much away, as it is only a one shot, but if you've not read this story, you need to stop whatever you are doing and go read it now.

Lessons Learned

by mistyhaze420

I came across this story via a Jasper/Bella story that the author writes that I read as well, when I saw this story posted in her A/N, I thought I’d give it a quick read. I did…and fell I love with it. There are several reasons why I am living this story so far, some close to me, others just personal preferences. “Lessons Learned” is about Edward, the adopted social misfit child of Carlise and Esme. He has a dark and abusive past leaving him emotionally scared and socially awkward. Then we have Jasper, a loner by choice, also from a dark past, who is socially well adjusted-but we find out it is all an act.

Edward’s past follows him and he is bullied by his peers, beaten and verbally abused. Carlise and Esme fear his lack of friends and social skills at the age of thirteen is reason enough to possibly enroll him in a special school. Overhearing their plans, a worried Edward goes the park to watch his peers and attempt to socialize. Things go horribly wrong and he is once again bullied and runs away, in tears. He comes across newcomer Jasper playing basketball in his yard. They strike up an immediate friendship and Edward invites Jasper to his house for dinner, thrilling Esme.

The bond of their friendship is fast and deep, they tell each other some deep secrets, and Jasper even goes to the park the next day to beat the shit out of Edward’s tormentors. Edward clearly admires Jasper’s skills and confidence, and Jasper loves having Edward admire him. He promises to teach Edward to be just like him, pretend to have the confidence and fit in-Edward accepts the challenge and proves to be a very apt pupil.

Jasper is so devoted to teaching Edward everything, he even volunteers his lips are service to teach Edward to kiss, and to judge if Edward is a sufficient kisser or not. This is one very sweet, yet hot scene, as their tender lips move together and we get Jasper’s pov wanting to continue it, deepen it and enjoying far more than he expected.

After, all Jasper wants to do is kiss Edward, but he resists until they are together Christmas night and Edward spends the night in Jasper’s bed. When they wake, tangled in each other, they kiss and cuddle, with a wannabe grind. Happy sigh.

Now, the reasons I love this story-the author is not afraid to touch on these darker topics, an abusive past, and Edward who cuts himself, a Jasper who takes prescription meds to forget his shitty life, as well as young teen boys discovering themselves and their attraction to each other.

I enjoy the deep back story she is giving us before moving them along-as I am doing the same thing in my story and feel back stories can be so vital to where the characters go in the future and why they make certain choices. Another parallel I see is the depth of the bond of their friendship, much like my Jasper/Edward, hers would do anything for the other, no matter the cost. They can kiss and touch and then be the same Jasper/Edward the next day-to them, it’s normal and acceptable and okay. They are just that close and friendships like that are rare, so to see this unique bond makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I also like her strong Jasper-too often we get hero Edward (I am guilty of this) and a weaker Jasper, but her Jasper, at least at the moment, is confident and strong, someone Edward can idolize.
Lastly, mistyhaze420 doesn’t shy away from details and lengthy chapters, something I learned while reading her other story-and enjoyed there as well.

I cannot wait to see where this story goes, I am hoping for some great angst for the boys, either dealing with their growing attraction to each other, or dealing with those around them as they progress in their friendship/relationship. Go read, you won’t be sorry and be sure to leave her some love in a review if you enjoy it.

Donna's Pick of the Week...

Snapshots of Polyamory

by FiberKitty

I'm a huge FiberKitty fan. I won't deny it. Actually, I normally shout it from the rooftops. I've read all of her stories. Each and every one has a very dear spot in my heart. My husband and I devoured “The Tie That Binds” together and while he would laugh uproariously at my sobbing and snotting over the story, I knew it touched him, too.

So, when I was searching out stories to recommend to all of you, I snatched up “Snapshots of Polyamory” like the prize fish it is. Like all of FiberKitty's stories, “Snapshots of Polyamory” is filled with a beautiful writing style that reaches into you and grabs hold of your heartstrings and doesn't just tug at them, but fucking YANKS those damned things until your heart is on your sleeve and you are feeling like you are right there in the story along with the characters.

The one thing you'll find missing, in “Snapshots of Polyamory” that is present in nearly every other FiberKitty story and is something else FiberKitty does fabulously well, is SMUT! “Snapshots of Polyamory” isn't about smut, smexin', lemons or any other moniker you want to give it. It's about the connection between Edward, Bella, Rosalie, and Emmett. The story is literally a series of snapshots starting from their very first meeting. It's about realizing and finding love in a less than traditional way.

BUT, the REALLY great thing about doing this recommendation was that it got me an early peek into the entire story. The day I decided to use this story for one of my Tuesday spots, I alerted FiberKitty and she offered to let me read the entire story so I would know what was coming. Can I just say, OH! MY! GOD!? You know I jumped on that like it was Jasper and he'd just arrived at my fucking front door naked and raring to go. Let me tell you, I read the entire eight chapters from beginning to end. I put off the kids' lunches until after I was done. I had to actually drive them to McDonald's to make up for the fact that lunch was an hour late and they'd survived on fruit snacks while Mama was reading. LOL!

If you don't have this story on your reading list and FiberKitty on Author Alert, you need to be disowned. I mean it. “Snapshots of Polyamory” is one of the best fanfics out there and I've read 1000's of fics.

You can find FiberKitty and the entire Snapshots fanclub on Twilighted.

Blush and Bashful

by HHN

No, this not Seven Drawf’s slash, although that might be interesting, this is actually me stepping out of my slashy Jasper/Edward box. A little. A very little. But, hey, progress is progress, right? Even in baby steps. “Blush and Bashful” by HHN crossed by monitor after I asked mozzer0906 to help me do a search on FF.net , as I cannot find anything on that site to save my life. I searched for…get this… Jasper/Jake slash! I know, right? Amazing. I think I got lucky too, coming across this gem.

“Blush and Bashful” is about new kid at Forks High School, Jasper Whitlock, and his attractions to Jacob Black and Edward Cullen. HHN puts a new twist on the love triangle and “Team Edward” and “Team Jacob”, as you are either friends of one or the other, not both. These two boys, enemies, rule the school. As the story progresses, we find out just why these two former best friends can no longer stand the sight of each other. Jake is openly gay, Edward is straight (wink). Jasper has not admitted to himself, or anyone, that he is gay, but he admits his attraction to both these beautiful boys. Jake openly flirts with Jasper and Edward smirks at him; these attentions lead Jasper to fantasize a bit too much in class. There is some SERIOUS UST between these three. Angela notices Jasper’s ‘condition’ and after class, asks him if his gay. Jasper admits, for the first time, that he is. The situation worsens for Jasper in gym class when he is changing with Edward and Jake nearby, both boys packing some serious heat in their undies, encouraging Jasper’s erection. When Jasper stands to leave, his erection is not tenting his boxers, but rather, sticking out of them. Embarrassed beyond words, Jasper flees from gym to his car, in his underwear. Having left his keys and clothes inside, he sits and cries by his car until Jake and Edward approach him, apologizing and explaining that no one but them witnessed his exposure. Jasper falls for Jake…hard and fast…literally. Unsure how I would handle Jasper/Jake smut, I admit to being a bit nervous when the first lime occurred. There have been only limes so far, as the boys are exploring the waters before jumping in too deep, but these limes are SOUR as FUCK. My favorite included; some nice dry and wet humping! Seriously…they are hot!

I can’t decide on the accuracy of Jasper’s voice however. He sounds a bit young sometimes, and perhaps…too gay? I know, I know, but I guess I like my Slashsper more… masculine. This Jasper is not girly per say, but he had no problem expressing his emotions or his tastes in musicals and “Steel Magnolias”; he also refers to himself, more than once, as the girl in the relationship. However, once the sex begins, the voice matures, which I loved. Above I mentioned “love triangle”, as Edward comes out of the closet, and has a past with Jake. Jasper is also physically attracted to Edward, but loves Jake… and now we know that Jake and Edward were once an item. Oh, the tangled web these three weave!

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. Really enjoyed. I try to only recommend stories here that blow my mind and while I cannot say this one blew my mind, it did expand it a lot without bleaching required, and that alone is worthy of a recommendation! I totally enjoyed Jake/Jasper dynamic, and toss Gayward into the mix and you have a winner. I enjoyed the length of the chapters, the families, and extra characters and the fact that Alice wasn’t even mentioned until chapter eight or so (she is Edward’s younger sister, not friends with the gang).

If you are a HARD core Jasper/Edward slash fan, this is not the story for you…if you are soft core J/E and looking to broaden your horizons, give this one a shot, you might be surprised. I definitely was.

I even added it to my alerts.

So… proud of me?

Tuesday's Best~June 16th, 2009

Welcome to TwiSlash Unveiled

Well, here we are. Another Tuesday has arrived and with it, four fabulous stories to wet your down unders with. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

Up first today is The Master's pick of the week...

Thank You, Elvis
by Klytie

For my recommendation this week, did I search the internet far and wide, using all my knowledge to search fanfiction.net to find the best of best, the most intriguing and beautifully told boy slash stories written? Actually, no. I went no further than my inbox, as a link to this story was sent to me by starfish422 about a month ago. There are few stories that I will drop everything, whether I am playing in Photoshop, reading another story, writing, or posting on Twilighted. When my email dings with an alert notice for “Thank You, Elvis” by young author Klytie, programs get closed, iTunes gets turned up and IE opens with speed I did not realize my computer had. I will forever be grateful to starfish422 for sharing this gem of a story told in both Edward and Jasper’s point of views. It surprises me that with nine chapters posted this story has barely over one hundred reviews. I hope to change that-so if you go read, please leave the author some feedback.

“Thank You, Elvis” starts off canon. Jasper loves Alice. He is devoted to her and will follow her to the ends of the Earth, entrusting his life in the pixie’s visions. She leads them to a new coven, the Cullens where they are introduced to Carlise, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie and Edward. This is where the canon story stops and a wonderful story of love, sometimes unrequited, angst and passion begins. Upon meeting the Cullens, Jasper feels an immediate and almost primal attraction to Edward. To Jasper, being attracted to another man was unacceptable and intolerable, but in this case completely unavoidable. When Jasper makes love to Alice after meeting Edward, he imagines her hair bronze, her body smooth, tall and hard, her fingers long and her eyes filled with self loathing. Disturbed by his thoughts of lust, he begins to avoid Edward, quietly disappearing whenever Edward is near, becoming even more introverted and silent, pouring his energy into studying philosophy and human attraction. Their mind reading and empathic abilities make their relationship that much more intense. Edward is determined to discover the secret that he is sure Jasper harbors deep inside his mind, and apparently, heart. A simple, casual and very brief touch by Edward leaves them both shocked at the electricity that passes through them and leads Jasper puts his strategic military skills to analyze all possible explanations and scenarios for his relationship with Edward. They share a few small, intimate moments of comfort and companionship before Alice interferes, encouraging Edward to decide to leave the family in effort to escape the saddened eyes of reddish gold that will never belong to him. Before Edward leaves, he and Jasper share one last hunting trip, where a storm ignites long denied passion so intense that hard, perfect skin is marred by venom and razor sharp teeth. Edward’s loathing at their impure act forces him to flee, leaving Jasper crushed, and Alice to pick up the pieces of her husband’s shattered heart.

As with “Evading the Orbit” last week, I feel anything I write about this story will not do it justice. It is a remarkable story, written so poetically that you cannot help but feel the emotions of angst, love, and lust flow directly from the story into your heart. The thoughts of Edward and Jasper remain true to their characters, Jasper, brilliant strategically, but joyous as a school girl with a crush when Edward even glances at him. Edward, young in mind, innocent, confused and guilt ridden with the impure thoughts he has of his new coven member. This is an exquisite story of two vampires, and their undeniable attraction, both physical and emotional, to each other in a time where such attraction will no doubt cause heartbreak and loss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, let's see what Rosella has in store for us...

Maid on the Shore

I'll just get straight to the point with this week's rec. Fiberkitty is one of my favorite authors on FF and she never fails to write the best poly slash stories, lemons included. This particular story was written for the Pirate Talking Edward Contest, but Kitty put her own spin on this by making Jasper the man with all the booty...pun intended. It is written in third person, a first for this veteran author, but that doesn't deter her from producing another well-written slash fic.

I don't want to give away too many details, as it is a one-shot, and would spoil the story. But I will say Edward does get some Bella action, for those who enjoy canon pairings, with some Alice on the side. I am not particularly fond of canon, but that's okay because Kitty never disappoints went it comes to fulfilling my Jasper needs. And he has his fun with two ladies, at the same time of course, as this pirate's tale is told. Don't be put off by the fact that it's written in full-on pirate lingo either, because Kitty has done her research and knows just what to say.

If you're already familiar with fiberkitty's work, then you don't need anymore convincing. As for those of you who have yet to read any of her fanfics, I only have one question for you...Why the hell not?! Your panties will be wet (or your pants will tighten), your toy(s) will wear out, and your towel will most definitely be soaked. Run. Now. Read "Maid on the Shore", and while you're at it check out her other fabulous stories too! Fiberkitty deserves much love and support, so go...read and review. What are you waiting for?

Donna's girly action of the week...

Skin Deep
by Isabel0329

After spending an entire weekend writing, editing and rewriting my next chapter, to no avail, I woke up this morning realizing something. I FUCKING FORGOT TO FIND A FEMME SLASH STORY TO REC! OH MY GOD! I'm so screwed! That was my first, second and third thoughts. I spent the entire day dredging through the black hole of horrid femme slash and finally, FINALLY, at about 11pm last night found my story.

"Skin Deep", by Isabel0329 is FABULOUS! It builds slowly, sweetly and dramatically. It features a newly on her own Alice and a mysterious Bella.

Alice spent her first year and a half of college at home. She's now transferred to a school far away from home so she can, truly, be on her own and be open in her sexuality without it reflecting on her parents negatively. She moves into her dorm with the help of older brother Emmett and as he leaves, they share a moment of tender acceptance.

Alice is subjected to the roommate from hell in Jessica Stanley. She's proclaimed herself to be Alice's new best friend and has glued herself to Alice's hip. She never leaves Alice's side and on the rare occasion that she does, it's to make out with boyfriend, Mike Newton. She often regales poor Alice with tales of their exploits and Mike's penis.

After a brief encounter with a beautiful brunette with brown eyes to match, Alice spends all her time fantasizing about the mysterious girl that she spied getting off the elevator, her very first day on campus. She's very curious about her, but when she questions Jessica, she's warned away from the beauty.

Later, Alice spies the lovely girl from her mind's dalliances in the shower. The stunning brunette sees her peeping Tom-ette and speaks only three words to Alice, further ensnaring our darling pixie in her mysterious web. Drawing Alice in slowly but surely, even after Jessica warns Alice to stay away yet again.

"Skin Deep" enthralled me, just as Bella enthralls Alice. When you finally get a glimpse into Bella's head you hurt for her and for Alice and for all the multitudes of girls that came before Alice.

What I like the most about "Skin Deep" is the tempo of the story. Like I said earlier, it builds slowly but, it also flourishes, enveloping you into the story and embracing you, dragging you in and not letting go.

It isn't a rush to the bed like some slash stories. It works its way up to the smut and OH GOD is the smut good, but that's not the driving force behind this fabulous story. The sexing is like the cherry on the sundae. It's just the added bonus and not the actual dessert.

"Skin Deep" is definitely worth adding to your read list. It's beautifully written and the pace is exquisite. Make sure that you do NOT skip this one. Also, just an FYI, this story is COMPLETE, which means no waiting for updates. Just remember your towels and maybe even a box of Kleenex.

Be sure to read and review the story and stop by the Twilighted thread and let them know TwiSlash Unveiled sent you!

Last, but certainly not least, Cella's Secret Craving of the week...

PayBack

by DefinatelyStaying

My addiction for DefinatelyStaying's stories can probably be classified as unhealthy, but honestly when she writes slash and poly tales who wouldn't be tempted to read her stuff.

This week my rec for the Twislash lovin world is Definately Staying's One-Shot "PayBack".

"PayBack" is a tantalizing tale about Bella and the sexual tension she has caused poor Jasper. It is just not fair for the empath in the house to be stuck around Bella and Edward all day long when the two are constantly arousing each other, but refusing to do anything in fear of hurting the weak little human.

Alice has the perfect solution though, and payback includes bringing both Bella and her husband some release. Trapping the human in their bedroom the couple unleash their knowledge and experience of sex on Bella with a show and tell method.

Bella is terrified at first, and longs for her sweet innocent Edward to come back and save her, at least until she starts to enjoy the experince at which point she begins moaning like a whore, and begging for more.

If you like things a bit rough, and a darker Jasper then "PayBack" is for you. Go ahead and take a peak, I promise not to tell.

This week, Whitlock's Girl recommends for your fem slash lovin...

Paper Moon
by MsKathy

When the other Belles, Yankee Lady and I were divvying up the duties at TU, I just had to have the girls. Don't think that means I don't love the boys, believe me there is nothing I love more than Jasper being balls deep in Edward (or vice versa); them kissing, stroking and loving. Both of them grunting and moaning in ecstasy...OOPS! Sorry, got sidetracked there. *Takes deep breath and ignores the pulsing pussy for a bit* Now, where was I? Oh, right. There's nothing I like more than the boys going at it, but the girls seem to have been left on the wayside and I want to fix that. I mean, really, who would know better than another girl, what a girl really wants. So, I chose to bring you the best of the best in girl on girl action. Paper Moon by MsKathy was the first story to pop into my mind once the girls asked me what I thought my first story was going to be.

MsKathy is the fabulous author of so many great stories. The Trip Home is my personal favorite of all her stories and I jump for joy and squee like a teenage girl with Jackson in sight (sorry, Rob doesn't hold a candle in my book) whenever the alert for Trip hits my inbox. Once I read The Trip Home, I had to go search out the rest of her stories, because I knew that if they were a tenth as fabulous as The Trip Home then I was going to be a happy, happy girl. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed when I found The Discovery of Bella Swan. Discovery is a great story and features some girl on girl action that is super hot, but it's got nothing on Paper Moon.

In Paper Moon, Bella, a single girl that is in need of some lovin', shows up at Paper Moon, her favorite night club, on a Saturday night dressed to the nines. She's prowling for a "soft, pretty girl she can fuck" and Alice fills the bill. PERFECTLY! .

Bella is hot to drag Alice off to fuck, but she miscalculates Alice's readiness to hop into bed. A game of cat and mouse, ensues and after some temperature raising flirting and dancing Bella gets Alice back to the house. Once there, let's just say that you need to bring out the industrial tools for this story as things not just heat up, but they reach a Tungsten boil.

According to MsKathy, while Paper Moon started out as pure smut, there is a real meaty story in there, coming out slowly. In my opinion, the turning point that makes this a story and not just a great piece of smut are these two sentences, "Somehow, in the middle of going down on her I shifted from fucking her to making love with her. It scared me until I saw the look of adoration in her eyes." Bella, the Pussy Hunter, as I think of her in the beginning of this story, has recognized a need within herself for something other than just a piece of pussy and a good fucking and has found something she knew she wanted, but wasn't actually looking for.

While the sexing is FuckHot, things don't always go smoothly for a couple of passionate girls like Bella and Alice. Learning to love again or for the first time isn't easy as there will always be ups and downs. I, for one, am excited to see where she takes these girls and how they get there and not only for the pussy throbbing sex that's to come.

Now, if you are into the boys more than the girls, then never fear, MsKathy has got you covered. Jasper is Bella's best bud and he's a hot ass bisexual man with some baggage and Edward is Alice's older brother with some baggage of his own. They are learning and loving as well and her boys are just as fucking hot as her girls.

I've got to tell you, if you don't run straight to this story and put it on alert, I'll be sadly disappointed in our slash lovin' groupies, because you are missing something that is truly wonderful and is sure to only get better once Rose and Emmett are introduced.

You can find MsKathy frequenting Paper Moon's Twilighted thread, where she answers questions and posts teasers.

Master Jasper presents to you...

The Forbidden Room-Outtake 5

By DefinatelyStaying

My first recommendation for TwiSlash Unveiled is a story by DefinatelyStaying. This outtake from The Forbidden Room immediately became one of my favorite slashy lemons between Edward and Jasper. For the first Jasper/Edward TFR outtake, we were treated to Edward’s point of view, which we hadn’t before seen in TFR. For this outtake, the cocks have turned and we are now blessed with Jasper’s version of an Edward/Jasper tryst. Sure, it starts off innocently enough, with Edward and Jasper lounging on the deck of Jasper’s boat. But then, Edward, bare-chested in only swimming trunks, is enough to make Jasper’s mind start to wander. At Edward’s prompting, he moves to sit between Edward’s legs. My stomach did flips when Edward ghosted a finger over Jasper’s abdomen and asked, “Do you want this?” Jasper’s reply was to turn and capture Edward’s lips with his own.

While we are accustomed to the urgent, animalistic fucks between Jasper and Edward in the Room, this outtake shows us a different side of their physical relationship. Their lovemaking, not fucking, is slow, sensual, and full of emotion. There is teasing, gentle caresses, tender kisses, and mind-blowing orgasms. I highly recommend giving this outtake a shot! Knowing the characters’ pasts with each other makes this outtake even more delicious, but you do not have to have read The Forbidden Room in order to enjoy this sweet moment between these two beautiful men.

Join DefinatelyStaying on Twilighted for A House of Cards, the sequel to The Forbidden Room.

Miss Rosella Whitlock brings Rosella's Poly Pleasures. This week she's gifting us with...

Just The Three of Us
by KuntryGal

I stumbled upon this story while searching for some yummy polyslash and was melted into a pool of romance and love. Kuntrygal has taken on some of my favorite characters, Jasper/Bella/Edward and molded them into a story with the perfect balance of sweet endearing romance and steamy hot lemons. If you are a sucker for the knight in shining armor bit and would love to read a poly story that truly supports equality between all partners, than this is the story for you. If you also enjoy Jasper and Edward slash you will be plenty satisfied. The relationship portrayed between them is sinfully delightful; some of the most erotic lemons I’ve read. Trust me when I say you won’t be complaining about the level of intimacy in each chapter.

Bella is a struggling college student working two jobs, living in a crappy, sleazy rat infested motel, surrounded by creepy assholes. She meets both Edward and Jasper one night while out with some friends, and all three immediately form an intense bond. Jasper & Edward have already been a couple in hiding for quite some time, but the addition of Bella in their lives opens them up to a level of comfort that enables them to express their relationship openly. Bella is her usual danger magnet, low self-esteem, modest self, and the boys help her see herself for who she really is. They wrap her up in a blanket of endearing, heartfelt, soothing words, gentle caresses and touches, all the while making sure she sees the sexy side of herself as well.

Romance isn’t the only thing you’ll find here. The sexin’ is absolutely mouth-watering. You can’t help but imagine yourself as Bella, smack dab in the middle of the boys, enjoying all the erotic pleasure she is giving and taking. You might as well forgo the panties entirely; there will be no use for them. If you prefer toys, get them ready too. You will have plenty of orgasms reading this fabulously delicious story. I know I have!

I’ve been told that a new chapter will grace my inbox very soon, so make sure to set up your alert to stay up to date. You can also find a thread dedicated to JTToU at Twilighted. Make sure to give Kuntrygal lots of lovin’ and support. Reviews make every author happy.

Cella brings Cella's Secret Cravings to life and would like you to dirty yourself up a bit with...

Dark Salvation
by Kitten Mischief

Kitten Mischief has of course been on my alert list since I first discovered Fiberkitty, and her talented writing skills. It is no secret that I’m a fan of her work, but once combined with her fanfic wife Mischief Maker1 it’s honestly a surprise that more people have not put their trust in their writing skills.

One of their most questionable stories comes to us in the form of a Dom/ Sub relationship featuring Edward and Jasper.

Dark Salvation is a tale about a broken surgeon (Edward Cullen) who is convinced to start seeing the talented psychologist, Jasper Whitlock. If only Edward had known when he first stepped into Jasper’s office what he would be getting into.

The story starts off darker than anything I have ever read before. With two deaths, slavery, betrayal, and punishments that have you squirming in yours seats it’s easy to see why some people might click away in fear.

Of course that’s not enough to scare me away. The horrific background of Jasper’s past is a necessary evil in this tale to truly understand how he views the world, and why his relationship with Edward is so precious to him.

The lemons are anything but soft and ordinary, of course that just makes them so much more enticing. From toys and positions to whose sleeping with whom you never know what you will get when your inbox declares the newest chapter is up.

This story has something for everyone. Fem/Fem, Male/Male, Threesomes, Bondage, lovemaking, you name it and I’m pretty sure it’s there, and if it’s not who knows it may very well be in the next chapter.

That’s why to start off the TwiSlash Unveiled website I am recommending “Dark Salvation” as my secret craving of the week. For those of you who are thinking you really want to read this, but are afraid that it might label you as a pervert, go ahead and take a peak, I promise I won’t tell.

Once you've caught up reading Cella's Secret Craving of the Week, head over to Twilighted and join Kitten Mischief on the Dark Salvation thread.
