'My name is Bella Swan; good at sign language and karate. My best friend is deaf, and you know what? It doesn't matter.'

Bella Swan has a black belt in Karate, a master's degree at sign language and is absolutely in love with her long-time best friend Edward Cullen. To her, it doesn't matter that Edward is deaf and she just kicks the asses of everyone who thinks otherwise. However, even though they are more than close, it is really hard for the two to express their feelings for each other - and not only because Edward is deaf. Bella - a fierce, utterly loyal, and cool young chick, who kicks butt first and ask absolutely no questions later - thinks she isn't good enough for her best friend which is why she has difficulties confessing her feelings. Edward, on the other hand, believes that his disability stands in the way of a possible relationship. He even tries to stop her from taking on those people who mock him for his sickness but to no avail: Bella defends his honor whenever she thinks she has to!

This is the best fan-fiction I have ever read and trust me, I've read many. The touching relationship between Edward and Bella will capture you from the start! It flows naturally and is nothing but pure fluff. And even though the two are only able to communicate via sign-language, the story is far from boring but rather touching and informative. A World Without Sound is light and humorous, yet still manages to touch upon topics that make you sad. Relating to Edward through Bella's POV is something only a few writers can do but The Romanticidal Edwardian is definitely one of them. This story will make you cry, laugh and aw like you're a thirteen-year-old girl again because even though the laughs will happen first, the crying will catch up on you in the end when things get heavy (even though there is minimal angst). Short flashbacks show you a protective Esme, a slightly too sexual Alice and Jasper, an abrasive Emmett and even a six-year old Edward, who hates the fact that best friend has a crush on his father! Such a heart-warming and beautifully composed story - not to be missed!

A World Without Sound is rated M for some lemony goodness and consists of 22 Chapters and 105,849 words.
