"Turkey Baster" by counselor

Posted by Typokween

Bella Swan has a plan. It may not be a very good plan - or smart, or ethical for that matter - but it’s a plan. An idea made from the love of her big sister Alice, who has just overcome ovarian cancer and cannot have children of her own. So with the help of her best friend Rosalie, Bella is looking for the perfect candidate for Operation Turkey Baster, i.e. a well built, attractive, clean and healthy yet somewhat irresponsible guy who will impregnate her during a one-night-stand.

But of course, nothing ever goes exactly according to plan... Like the fact that Edward Cullen, the man basting her “turkey”, happens to want more with Bella than just one night and won't take no for an answer. Or that he is far from being some random guy she met in a bar, but might have been particularly chosen by Rosalie... When Bella finally starts to reciprocate Edward’s feelings, disaster strikes in the form of a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Which is right around the same time Bella realizes she’s expecting a little Cullen herself. 

Counselor needs no introduction when it comes to her amazing stories. She’s well known for taking a simple idea and launching it into what could be a full blown best-selling novel. Lucky for us, she writes for free. She’s also known to use religion in her stories with a very tasteful and enlightening technique. Written in Bella’s point of view, Turkey Baster is not what you think based on the title alone. There is a large amount of angst in the story and very little humor or fluff. This story has a strong backbone and does not stray far from the original plot. The writing holds enough emotion and depth to bring you to tears from sadness, happiness, or even laughter. Counselor has a definite style that makes her writing stand out as it is almost as if the main character is pulling you along for the ride. When they hurt, you hurt. It’s that intense, the words are that powerful. You’re definitely able to recognize and follow the character growth in this story. There are no loose ends, everything wraps up into one beautiful bow. Personally, I've read Turkey Baster four times - it’s one of my top five fics of all time.

Turkey Baster consists of 32 chapters and 66,674 words. The story is rated MA for graphic sexual content, language, violence, and other adult material. Also, please be aware that although there is no scene of the incident itself, Bella is the victim of rape from someone close to home.
