"Source of Serendipity" by raindrops855

Posted by Anonymous

If you're an avid reader of fanfiction you probably noticed that there is a certain pattern in the Bella/Edward stories out there. Despite some variations and/or slight changes, the basic idea always remains the same: when Bella and Edward meet there are sparks, there is a connection, an electric energy flowing around them. They both think about the other as the most beautiful person in the world and know that they cannot escape their feelings - no matter how hard they try.

Well, Source of Serendipity is different. When Edward meets Dr. Isabella Swan for the first time he hates her with a passion. No word about big brown eyes that you can get lost in or creamy skin that looks as soft as feathers. He hates everything about her and in the beginning even refuses to stay in the same room with her. The reasons for these extreme reactions are slowly reveiled - chapter by chapter. And Bella? She sees an arrogant billionaire who thinks the world is waiting at his feet. No bronze-haired adonis. No well-defined jaw. Instead, you have two people who are far from having fuzzy feelings for each other and can hardly communicate without starting a fight. How can that be good story?

Well it is. Source of Serendipity is immensely realistic - it takes a lot of time for the two to somehow talk to each other. Yet even though the reader is not flooded with hugs, kisses, lemons, and sweet moments and progress is slow the story is extremely gripping. You wanna know when they will get together. You wanna know how they get together. Seeing these two finding in each other what they though they would never get is heart-breaking, beautiful, sad, and funny. The story is definitely worth reading!

Source of Serendipity consists of 31 chapters and a total of 231,778 words. The story is rated T and thus suitable for teens over 13 years of age.
