Slash Guest Author Rec - BeautifulFigment

When Naelany asked me to write a recommendation for the blog, I immediately jumped at the chance. I couldn’t recommend just one story, though, so I thought I’d give some love to a few of the WIP’s that I drop everything to read when I get an update. There are a few that need to update RIGHT NAO, so be sure to politely hound those particular authors for an update for me, okey doke?

On with the fics…

Slash Author Guest Rec - PolkaDotMama

When Naelany asked me to Guest Recommended for Twislash I had so many fics I was reading that I jumped at the chance.  Now here it is my turn and my life has gotten so hectic as the school year comes to a close that I’m not reading nearly as much.  Nonetheless, I want to let you know about some of the stories I drop everything for and one that may have slipped under your radar.

While it was written about on Tuesday’s Best on May 18^th, I am in love with I Wept Not by ArcadianMaggie. 

Jasper is a war weary soldier burdened by the weight of eternity. Edward is an uncomplicated high school student content to hide his sexuality. Together can Jasper find something to live for and Edward discover some things are worth dying for? J/E Slash

What has drawn me in, besides her rich characters, is the tormented soul of Jasper that I have hope that Edward can help heal.  It is full of beautifully chosen literature, vivid imagery, and the youthful exuberance of Edward, who is absolutely adorable.

A Tangible Dichotomy by PerfectlyPersuasive cracks me up with every single chapter.

Not everything makes sense to us at first, but sometimes, the paradoxes in life are exactly what we never knew we needed. When Jasper and Edward and thrown together, into a dorm room no less, who are they to deny the twisted logic of fate? AH/Slash.

PerfectlyPersuasive has the gift of humor that does more than shine through her work.  It lights up your entire body when you read it.  I have to make sure my husband isn’t sleeping when I read this update.  The chapter titles are funny in their own right, with chapter one entitled, Edward and the Urinator.  Can you go wrong with this great Edward and Jasper fic?  No, I think not.

I just discovered the gem of a story by OfTheDamned called Your Biggest Fan.

Throughout high school, the shy and over-burdened Edward Masen threw himself into work and raising his baby sister. He's always felt lucky just to be friends with track star Jasper Cullen. Now, he doesn't know if just friends is enough. AH AU Slash.

It’s an engaging story about two high school seniors, coming of age and discovering things about themselves and each other.  It touches on some heavy issues that I tend to love in a story.

Another story that you may have missed is After the Storm by tjbaby.

Vampire Edward affects Jasper's human life in such a way that he has to decide - life or love? An insight into a world of obsessive love and betrayal, where lines are crossed for friendship and honour; and madness is only one small step away.

This completed fic is a dark piece.  While I’m not one to read a ton of period pieces, tjbaby sucked me into this story very easily with the beautiful pictures she painted.  I loved how she didn’t shy away from being dark, even embracing it in the lemons.

Now with those four recommendations, I also want to mention a few stories that I’m sure have been rec’d time and time again…and for very good reason.

Whitlock's Girl brings you...

Master of Disaster by Tropical Sorbet & TheRani1981

My name is Edward Cullen and I am a Dom.

I am not a Dom by choice. I did it for her. When I first saw her at one of Jasper’s play parties, I felt my world changing and I decided to do anything to be with her.

So, I know I may be roasted for this, but no this story isn't slash, but it is a BDSM story featuring Edward and Bella. Although, there is an implied Dom/sub relationship between Bella and Victoria. So, while this story isn't slash, it has intrigued me to no end.

Edward Cullen is a playboy pilot for his father's airline. He jets all over the world and just as the cliche goes, he's got a girl at every port. He has no desire to change anything either. He's perfectly happy with his life. The only pain in his ass is his sister's Alice's relationship with his best friend, Jasper Whitlock.

Jasper is a Dom and was prior to meeting Miss Alice, but tried to walk the straight and narrow for his Girl Friday. Alice, however, is intrigued with the lifestyle and against her brother's wishes becomes Jasper's sub. Master of Disaster begins three years after they've entered into their relationship. They've grown closer, falling in love, Jasper's proposed and they are leaving the scene. At their Goodbye Party, Alice demands her brother Edward's attendance and just as with canon Alice, what Alice wants, Alice gets.

This is where the fated meeting between Edward and Bella takes place. Alice having met Bella, a slave, in the lifestyle Alice knows that once she and Jasper leave she'll never see her friend again. She wants to say farewell so, she invites James and Victoria, Bella's Master and Mistress, to the party.

Now, I have to warn you. This story shows the darker side of BDSM. There is torture and pain, but as a fan of The Red Line by Winndsinger, I have to say that the darkness that's written in Master of Disaster hasn't come close to that. Well, not yet anyway. I would suggest this story as a great way to pass the time.

Naelany brings you...

So a few weeks ago, this little ditty came to my attention, I forget how, exactly. But it pulled me in and I've been keeping up with it (which isn't easy for me to do, since I don't have that much time to read anymore). I love it though.

A Tangible Dichotomy by PerfectlyPersuasive

Edward and Jasper are college students, both living in in dorms and extremely unlucky in the roommate department. Edward is a quiet guy, a bit of a self-imposed loner due to what he's had to deal with early in life. Jasper is, well... a closeted gay guy. As luck would have it, they end up rooming together (after some changes in room assignments. Why they were made, you'll have to read for yourself). Edward and Jasper are perfect roommates for each other. But is there more? Jasper is immediately smitten by Edward, but tries very hard to suppress his feelings for his straight roommate. In Jasper, Edward finds his first best friend.
Both boys end up on a journey of self-discovery of sorts, and we get to tag along for the ride. Here's a little titbit just to wet your whistle with.

In the shower, after I jerked one out to images of Edward on his knees before me, his ass spread wide and fucking pulsing for me, I decided that I needed a new strategy. As immature as it sounds, I figured the silent treatment was the best way to go about it. If I was an ass to Edward, then he would want to stay away from me. It would make everything... less hard. If you know what I'm getting at.

What I wasn't prepared for, was his hurt voice and stricken face when he came up to me in the cafeteria Monday. It fucking broke my heart to hear him ask me what he did wrong. The problem was that he did absolutely nothing wrong! How could I explain that it was all me, that he is just too damn perfect for me to resist? It's a rather hopeless situation, it seems.

Once I apologized, all was forgiven which speaks volumes for Edward's character. If someone was blowing me off like that, I would hold a grudge for a long ass time, but not Edward. It's funny; after we started talking, we just clicked. That's never happened before. I mean, it's easy for me to make friends. I can change myself to whatever I need to be, whatever is expected of me, but those friends are always expendable. I could toss them aside and find new ones, and it wouldn't bother me at all. I don't want that with Edward. I have a feeling he's going to be more important than I even realize, but I'm scared to fucking death to let him in. It's a lot harder to lose something you never had than to lose something truly important to you. I've learned that the hard way.

I won't tell you which chapter this is from, you'll have to read it to find out. Enjoy, I certainly did.

So there you have it, ladies and gents. Another Tuesday with more awesome tales to read. Now just keep in mind that we warned you ahead of time, so any drycleaning that needs doing after reading this week's recs...you're on your own!
