Though Bella Swan is successful in her job and has wonderful friends who stay with her no matter what, she feels like there is some essential thing missing in order for her to really be happy: a man, more precisely, a boyfriend. And so the 30-year old editor signs up at an online dating platform and fills out her profile in the hopes of meeting "the one". "29 Dimensions of Compatibility" asks her a number of questions before comparing them with those from other members and picking out the best matches. At first, no one is really catching Bella's interest, but then she looks into the green eyes of Edward and feels like someone has just swept her off her feet. Unfortunately, Bella doesn't think very highly of herself which is why she never bothers to initiate contact with the bronze-haired adonis. What could a good-looking guy like him want from a boring girl like her, right?

A future - that's what he'd want. When 30-year old Edward sees the profile of the beautiful brunette with the soulful brown eyes, he is pretty much done for. The pediatrician loses almost no time in contacting her and the two begin a nice email friendship. Soon, they exchange cell phone numbers and spend hours talking about their childhoods, families, quirks, and feelings. Edward and Bella get closer and closer to each other but are both too scared to actually take the next step and meet each other. Luckily, their two mutual friends Rosalie and Emmett are unwilling to watch them pining for each other any longer and start meddling with their friends' lives a bit. They might actually send a text message here and there or secretly record sweet videos...

29 Dimension is sweet and fluffly. Period. If you are looking for angst, drama, and even tons of lemons, this story is not it. The fanfic lives from its adorable characters, their insecurities and fears of possibly getting their hearts broken by people they like, as well as their desires to find real love. It's sweet and comparatively short but definitely sigh-worthy. 29 Dimensions is written from a first-person perspective and alternatives between Bella's and Edward's POV. It's funny and entertaining and gives hope to all of us out there, who haven't yet found their "perfect Edward" yet. This story shows us that he's out there, ladies, just waiting for us to find him!

29 Dimensions consists of 14 chapters and a total of 37,295 words. The story is rated M for one small lemon and foul language.

Bella Swan is an itelligent and hardworking woman. She is just the kind of person you would want to become: successful and with the world in the palm of her hand. Unfortunately, the company she has worked so hard for these past few years, crashes... along with the rest of the economy. The result is that the once so outstanding and sought-after VP is now in dire need of a job. Bella seeks employment in a temp agency until she can find something better. However, the last thing she had in mind when doing that was finding work at the company of her biggest rival - Edward Cullen. And to make matters even worse, her job is being the personal assitant for the handsome CEO himself, whom she hates with a passion. Naturally, chaos ensues, papers fly, and Cullen Enterprises is turned upside down. It is literally hate at first sight, annoyance at first quip, and hard fu**ing at first kiss. How did Bella got into the this mess? And how the hell will she be able to get out of it with her heart intact?

Man, Catastrophia can write lemons; at least that was pretty much our first thought when we read this fic. It's furious, fast and oh-so-freaking-good! In fact, Mel even had an immaginary ciggy after one of the explosives encounters between Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan. Nevertheless, their sexual encounters aren't the only things that are of explosive nature in this story because these two fight like an old married couple going through a really bad divorce. It seems as if they simply cannot get along - at all! Between misunderstandings, insults, and a gamut of venom thrown everywhere, it is shocking a stapler or hole puncher don't hit someone's head (and that is definitely not for lack of trying on Bella's part!) We laughed, raged, cried, swooned, panted, cold-showered, and pretty much became addicted to this story. We read the whole thing in one sitting. It was a story for those who don't want to think and just want to read something with an intense attraction and high chemestry between Bella and Edward. Catastrophia did an amazing job with writing the fights and snaky comments, not to mention the hot as hell lemons! *fan each other with a magazine* Seriously, why are you still reading this? GO GET STARTED ON THIS FIC NOW!

Hate What You Do To Me consists of 22 chapters and a total of 85,456 words. The story is rated MA for coarse language and hot-as-hell lemons.

Bella has been in love with Edward for a very long time. Ever since they were freshmen students back in college, their plans for the future had always included each other. So after a couple of years in a steady and loving relationship, they finally said their vows and promised each other forever. But unfortunately, things go downhill after a few years. Over time, the wonderful love Bella once got to experience and the sweet promises she's been given have slowly been replaced by calls that are often ignored and broken or forgotten promises. Edward seems to be married to his job rather than to his wife - at least that's what Bella hopes is the case since the alternative would definitely break her heart beyond repair. She constantly ressures her daughter that Daddy still loves her and very much so, but when another dinner goes by without Edward being present, Bella finally has enough...

This is a heart breaking story told in Bella's point of view. Through flashbacks we get to see the happy times the couple experienced; a stark contrast to the present which is anything but as  wonderful as those memories. The story brought tears to both our eyes when Edward's neglect reaches its limit and Bella finally asks for a divorce. Honestly, at that point, we wanted her to divorce his ass too! But things aren't always so black and white, and Edward is only human after all. We all make mistakes, but those who learn from said mistakes and rise to the occasion are the ones worth fighting for, or in Bella's case, staying for. Yes, this story has a happily ever after, but you will have to go through a couple of heart breaking moments in order to see it. Trust us, you will enjoy this one-shot. After all, when have we steered you wrong?

Faded Memories is a one-shot and consists of 4,712 words. The story is rated M for graphic lemons, foul language, and some angst.
