Slash Guest Author Rec - MsKathy

Thanks so much to TwiSlash Unveiled for asking me to do a Guest Author Rec. These are the current stories that I'm in love with and drop everything to read an update for.



An Abridged Account by alchemilla mollis

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5164036/1/

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1845400/alchemilla_mollis

An Abridged Account of the Sexual History of Edward Cullen, as told to Bella Swan. Edward recounts a somewhat disastrous history of encounters with women through the 20th century, as Bella become more and more impatient to have an encounter of their own.



Why I love it:

I love reading about Edward's life as a vamp, even when it's a re-imagined telling of his life pre-Bella. It's not canon, but I like to say that this has a lot of canon-eque traits. Edward has all of his chivalry and reverence for women, and he behaves in the manner I would have expected him to, if this was entirely canon. Also, his citrus with Bella? Off the charts hot. Manhunt? Fucking genius.



An Introduction to Swirl and Daisy by m81170

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5642262/1/An_Introduction_to_Swirl_and_Daisy

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1824307/m81170

A first kiss, a first dance, a first curse word shared between best friends. This is the tale of a boring young geek and the social pariah who thought the world of him. A tale of growing up. A tale of a Non-Romantic Romance.



Why I love it:

What's not to love about this story? This is the dose of adorable, falling in love fluff I just need in my life. The story is well-written, the characters are full, rich, in-depth and lovable, and the story is just entirely relatable, on several levels. I know it's T-rated, but trust me – this is like sunshine on a snowy day. Wrap yourself up in it and warm your heart.



Exposure by ThePhoenixRiddle

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5393516/1/

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1902649/ThePhoenixRiddle

When Bella meets Edward and Rosalie, they have an interesting proposition for her. It was supposed to be one night only. What happens when no one wants it to end? ExBxR, ExB, BxR, AU/AH. Part One of The Photographer's Series.



Why I love it:

Okay, I think Rose gets a beating in this fandom, and I love stories that sort of rail against that. This is a super hot story that opens with a threesome between Bella, Edward, and Rose. E&R are BFFs, but Rose is a lesbian. They try to make it work as a threesome, but lose their way. Right now, we're in the thick of some drama and angst, but I am in this for the long haul. I can't wait to see how the authors weave this story back to something resembling a HEA, if that's even where they want to go with it. I have no idea if this will end up as a triad, or if E/B or B/R end up together, but I can't wait to find out.



I Don't Believe in Vampires by lazykate

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5462691/1/

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1898368/lazykate

During a chance return to Forks, Bella Swan runs into her high school crush only to discover that things were never as they appeared. What has Edward been waiting for all this time? Originally a O/S for Things That Go Bump in the Night, now continued!



Why I love it:

This is such a fun ride. This is a lemony-filled story of vampy Edward and human Bella. I really love what lazykate has done with the twists on canon, and honestly, I can't wait to read more of where she goes. These two are fun and flirty together, and I just adore the whole story.



Somewhere In Between by Kassiah

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5498012/1/Somewhere_In_Between

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1831850/Kassiah

A tragic accident separated Edward and Bella, forcing them down paths they never envisioned. What happens when they find themselves torn between having what they always wanted and honoring commitments made? AH, Rated M for language & lemons



Why I love it:

Full disclosure: I am Kassiah's beta. I'd love this story even if I wasn't, though. The way Kassiah has woven the storylines together is really brilliant. This is a story that you need to read carefully – there are plot elements and details that are intricate and designed to be intentionally misleading, and I love that. I love how I want to hate James, but not. I love how I feel bad for Bella, but in some ways, I don't. I ache for Edward; he seems to be the most lost and traumatized. I can't wait to see what happens next, since a lot of drama unfolded last chapter.



Southern Comfort by bookbag

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5365345/1/Southern_Comfort

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1840763/bookbag

Growing up in a Southern life of privilege was never easy for Edward Cullen, his life had always been planned for him. But when he moves back to the old family estate to oversee the restoration, will he find more than he bargained for? AH, OOC, Slash, ExJ



Why I love it:

Okay, I'm not usually a fan of cheating stories, but this is so much more than that. If you're nervous like I was, don't be (yet?). I don't know how bookbag is going to work this all out yet, but so far, there hasn't been any major Bella bashing (my number one pet peeve in slash fics – chick bashing, or making the female protagonists awful caricatures of people in order to excuse the cheating behavior). The story has focused on Edward and his life, the expectations laid at his feet, and how he perceives Jasper. He's getting to know him, getting a sense of his story, and it is unfolding in a fascinating way. Jasper is out and comfortable with himself, but there's obviously more than just that, since he doesn't “do relationships.” So much story and plot here that I am eager to read about and absorb.



Wood by algonquinrt/ohl

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5348404/1/Wood (original one-shot)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5701923/1/ (continuation)

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1821470/ohl

Single father Carlisle moves into a new house and finds more than he bargained for in his new neighbor. Rated M for the usual adult content. Entry for Ninapolitan's DILF contest



Why I love it:

I helped organize Team Rich Wood for the last Fandom Gives Back auction because I just needed more of this story. Carlisle and Edward as DILFs who fall in love (okay, or just fuck, for now)? I love the reality of the two guys together and the not-overly-graphic descriptions of everything. I also love how the side characters are worked in – Alice is Edward's daughter with Bella, conceived with full disclosure that Edward was the gay BFF, and Jasper is Carlisle's son. Bella is a funny, quick-witted character who banters with Edward and basically openly mocks him in front of Carlisle (but in a loving way), and the BJ against the playscape in the backyard in the one-shot? UNF. I laughed hysterically at the beginning of the second chapter, the description of poor Edward upon seeing Carlisle for their date. Can't say I blame him. This should be a fun ride and I'm eager to see how ohl keeps us engaged and interested in where these two go. It can be complicated with kids and exes and such, but I appreciate the extra layer of reality and complication that isn't contrived or a misunderstanding, like most complications in fic seem to be.

This contest is for stories that represent POLYAMORY. Merriam Webster defines Polyamory as "the state or practice of having more than one open relationship at a time." If you are confused as to what we are looking for, then please email us with any questions. Or you could check out such great stories of Polyamory relationships as FiberKitty's The Tie That Binds and Snapshots of Polyamory or MsKathy's The Trip Home. All three of these stories are beautiful and perfect examples of a polyamorous relationship.

Tuesday's Best~June 2nd, 2009

LAUNCH DAY!!

Are y'all as excited as we are?

We are so freaking excited to finally go live with this site and can't wait to spend every Tuesday regaling you all with some awesome slash recs from Major Whitlock's Southern Belles and Yankee Lady.

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.

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.

Please remember to check back Thursday when we will be posting our first Read, Rate and Review. It's one awesome slash story by a FABULOUS author that's sure to deliver!
