Edward is a formidable, ruthless prosecutor in the courtroom, possibly the best ADA in the District Attorney’s office. He is driven to seek justice by a devastating childhood that involved poverty, neglect and witnessing the premature death of his mother. His merciless approach to litigation has earned him the name Counsel by those he works with, and bastard or worse by the criminals he prosecutes. Of course women are naturally drawn to him, not only because of his dominating well-publicized persona in the courtroom, but also because he is extremely good looking. Edward however, has little time, patience or interest in a relationship with these superficial and pretentious women. The obstacles he has had to overcome to get him to where he is in this point in his life have left him uncaring behind his thick, protective, professional shell, but you will come to find out there is so much more to this seemingly arrogant man. 

Within a few hours time, his axis is thrown off kilter by a series of events. His so-called live-in girlfriend has had enough of his inattentive ways and packs up and leaves, but he can’t find it in himself to care. He also finds out via the news that his former best friend, now Senator Jasper Whitlock, has been alleged with using a high dollar escort service and maybe more. Then, some woman rear ends his new Mercedes at a stop light because she said she was reaching for her phone, she has the audacity to smart off at him as he is chastising her, and to top it all off, he finds out later she gave him a bogus insurance number and a fictitious name of ‘B. Cygnet’. All he can discern from her graceful movements as she exits her car and the way she is dressed is that she must be a dancer. Of course you can probably figure out that was Bella. She is pretty much an enigma for the first part of the story, but as her character and story are slowly revealed, we find that despite circumstances that forced her to compromise her integrity, there is a lot more to her than first meets the eye. Just hang in there with her before you send the jury out to judge her! 

Counsel is brilliantly written by Write Sisters as an intense keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat action thriller both in and out of the courtroom, with coordinated efforts between the DA’s office and the Boston PD to find evidence and round up suspects in a number of high profile criminal cases. The multiple fragments of the plot are expertly interwoven and gradually revealed with stunning precision and clarity. Can they find enough convincing evidence and missing key witnesses to convince to jury in each case? Will anything ever change the repulsion and animosity between the counsel and Bella: a key witness for the prosecution and alleged escort? A couple of the pairings are non-canon and heads up if you are an American reader: although the setting for this story is in Boston, MA, USA, the author is Aussie and often uses the old English spellings and terms. This was overall a magnificent story and I could not put it down. It also has a companion fic, Cygnet, which tells Bella’s story. 

Counsel has 56 chapters with a total of 330,532 words. It is rated MA for themes, language and sexual situations.

Bella thinks she finally has it all together after a life altering accident, but when she meets Edward, a once successful artist who has lost his inspiration, everything she thought she knew changes. 

During an unfortunate skiing accident, Bella lost one of her legs from the knee down and is now forever stuck with a prosthetic leg. Her dreams seems to be crushed and she finds herself to be a hopeless match for any/all men out there. But despite the circumstances, she is a confident brunette that does not use her leg as an excuse to not accomplish anything. When her brother Emmett sets her up with yet another blind date, she is fully sure of getting home alone - as usual. Though true, what she didn't expect that night was to dream about her mystery date, Edward. With his piercing green eyes and sexy crooked smile, she almost melted at the spot. Unable to have any further conversation, she had left her "date" after ten minutes of talking, adamant that a broken girl like her was not meant for a perfect man like him. But she didn't know that he was hiding some of his own demons...

After witnessing that his soon-to-be fiancé is banging another dude in his bed, Edward went haywire. He was quick to end their relationship and wanted to move on with his life - that is, if he could. With more than enough drama going on in his life, his career came to a temporary halt. As a famous painter, Edward had earned millions from the paintings he sold. But now, it seemed as though he wasn't having an inspiration to create new ones. He starts losing control and having a string of one night stands. So when he meets Bella through his friend Emmett on a blind date at a bar, he doesn't expect to feel so intrigued about the brown-eyed beauty; her deep brown eyes captivates him and he wants to know the story behind the sadness. And instantly, inspiration hits... But are her walls that easy to break? Are his?

Nineteen Canvasses is a beautiful story that portrays how love can really change a couple's life. In this case, our Edward and Bella saved each other through their love. They both have skeletons in their closets, Bella's are a lot more physical than Edward's emotional ones, but nonetheless they are there. And Cars1 manages to make these two characters connect. From the very first moment they lay eyes on each other, they feel something deep within them and instantly, the readers know that they are good for each other. But with so many invisible walls around them, will they be able to see that just as clearly as we do? It takes a while, but let me tell you that you won't be disappointed with the way the story is going. Every chapter has a slight turn that will keep you hanging to this roller coaster - and you will find out exactly why the title of this story is 'Nineteen Canvasses'. So don't wait too long to delve into this ride!

When Bella meets Edward for the first time as her roommate Alice's brother, it's a mutual dislike. The two just don't seem to get along—their initial meeting is quite humorous actually, with kool-aid all over Edward's hair ;-). But they both have their significant secrets and pasts deep inside of them—one that they do not show in front of anyone. It's their broken spirits that they can somewhat connect with, and that's what brings them closer. College life is great and all, but Bella's dream had always been to become a dancer... something that is now no longer possible. So almost every night, she sneaks out and lives life the way she wants, just for a couple of hours—nothing can happen, right? On the other hand, Edward had just moved in to Washington all the way from L.A., and re-starting his life all over again wasn't something easy, especially when he had demons of his own. He sneaks out at night too, living a side of him that is completely unknown to others: a graffiti artist, and such a fantastic one at that! Will the two of them reveal their secrets to each other and find love in the process? Or will the harsh realities of their life prevent that from happening?

MandyLeigh87 creates yet another fabulous piece of fiction with Secret Life. This story is nothing like you think and will have you hooked from the very first chapter. The unexpected twists and turns are almost like reading a mystery novel, leaving you wanting to find out what happens next. As all of MandyLeigh's stories are, this one also has an amazing plot and it isn't hard to fall in love with the characters—each of them with their significant personalities. The fanfiction is written in both Edward and Bella's perspective, so it's easy to connect with them as the events of the story unfold. What I absolutely loved about the fic, though, was the fact that both our main characters are extremely strong. Although they initially hide their natural selves to each other, the readers realize that it isn't something easy to deal with and the strength combined with pure love between the couple is what makes the story so realistic. The story is a HEA, so for those of you who hesitated on the story because of that, don't worry! This fic is definitely worth a read—go give it a try!

Secret Life consists of 25 chapters and a total of 111,359 words. The story is rated M for language and sexual content.

Bella Swan is two years older than all of her other first-year classmates at Force de la Beaute, one of the top ballet academies in the country. Having barely made the cut because of her late start into the dance world, she finds herself under the scrutiny and harsh judgment of her peers, most of whom believe she is not good enough to be there and blame her for their poor performances. She constantly has to tolerate their cruelly devised schemes while struggling to catch up and dance to the high standards set by her teachers. It’s a hard lesson for everyone involved. These are all young teenagers thrust into a world of beauty, competition, and perfection. Because, to all of them, it only matters who the best is.

Still, Bella’s dance skills do not go unnoticed - by her teachers, classmates, and, most importantly, by the star of the academy, third-year student, Edward Masen. Edward is basically a shoe in as a soloist for the American Ballet, a long awaited dream of his. He and Bella embark on a journey of discovering a mutual passion for dancing, each other, and how they deal with the spotlight. It is a bond that is so strong, everyone notices. The good, the bad, and all the players in between. With a big competition between the academy’s classes coming up called the "Dance Review", Bella and Edward’s bond is tested by their own misconstrued understandings of each other and their wants and devious plots by opposing forces.

Author, Amberdeengirl, weaves a story both on and off stage that has you loving the relationship between Edward and Bella despite the slow burn that it is. This is a ballet-themed story, and a lot of it does have the characters on stage performing. Their performances are part of the story and the dancers express their feelings and lives in the way they move and glide across the stage in such a way that you can’t have one without the other. You can clearly feel the author’s love for ballet through her words and while reading, I found myself transforming into a struggling ballerina, waving my arms and speaking horrible French…all in the privacy of my own bedroom of course. On top of that, the ending leaves you wanting more, but worry not, dear hearts, there is a sequel titled Pas de Trois that picks up right where Clair de Lune ends, and if you thought this one was intense, the sequel will have you out of breath the entire way.

Clair de Lune consists of 29 chapters and a total of 132,460 words. The story is rated T for language. A sequel has already been written, Pas de Trois.

A few months ago, Edward Cullen's life changed drastically. The days that were filled with drinking himself into oblivion, wasting both his talents and future, were immediately over when he is told that his brother Jasper and lovely sister-in-law Alice had died in a car accident. A drunk driver had hit their car full force and killed them both in an instant. As neither Alice nor Jasper had good relationships with their respective parents, they decided a long time ago that, should something happen to them, they would want Edward to take care of their daughter Melody. So within 24 hours, Edward had to sober up and become the sole guardian of his 12-year-old niece. He started attending AA meetings and found a job as a construction worker with S&D. Every day, he struggles not only with his alcohol addiction but also with his self-reproaches and his desire of being a good father-figure for Mel. But raising a teenage girl is everything but easy, especially as a man...

Needless to say, Edward is less than thrilled when Mel lets him in on her plans to take dancing lessons. Baila's School of Dance is where the young girl wants to have her lessons and she somewhat convinces her uncle to at least check the place out. Once there, Edward meets Bella, owner of the dance school and the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. With her honey-colored skin and dark, chocolate-brown eyes, the latina really does a number on him. It doesn't help that she is also incredibly nice, an astounding dancer, and someone Mel seems to look up to. So even though he cannot really afford it, Edward signs his niece up for dancing lessons. Unfortunately, her classes coincide with his AA meetings resulting in Mel hanging around the dance school long after the lesson is over. After Bella confronts the handsome hunk with his tardiness she offers to help him out by taking Mel to her place and looking after her until her sexy uncle is done with whatever it is he's doing. She likes the feisty teenager and it also doesn't hurt that this means she'd see Edward a lot more often than before...

It's a fu**ing pattyrose story, what more is there to say? Spin & Sway takes you on a wonderful yet slightly bumpy ride and introduces you to BlueCollward, Dancerella, and lots of love and passion on the way. This is a fanfiction in which both Edward and Bella carry a lot of baggage on their shoulders and while the reader knows right away what Edward's problems are, Bella's secret is only revealed step by step. The fact that both of them know about the hardship that life can throw at you as well as their mutual love for Mel eventually allows the two to establish intense yet tender feelings for each other. They begin helping each other through each and every problem, even though Edward has more difficulties letting his demons go than Bella. That said, the story is written from both characters' point of view without including too many repetitions. pattyrose's characters as well as the plot in Spin & Sway are immensely realistic and draw you in from the very first chapter. It is one of those fanfics that you impatiently for to update and you drop everything the moment it does. Read this, it will blow you away!

So far, Spin & Sway consists of 34 chapters and 165,494 words. For now, the story is rated M for lemons, foul language, and angst.

Bella Swan always wanted to be a dancer on Broadway, yet a horrible relationship and the scars she has taken away from it prevented her from doing so. So instead of becoming a famous dancer, Bella decides that, one day, she will open her own studio; sharing her passion with young students. Until then, however, she earns a living as awaitress at the Breaking Dawn Lounge, the club owned by her close friends Jacob and Rosalie. In addition to making sure that the guests get their ordered drinks, Bella's tasks also include to dance on stage from time to time. Yet instead of taking her clothes off, the beautiful young woman and her equally attractive colleagues entertain the predominantly male visitors with burlesque-like shows and intimate dances. Whenever Bella doesn't have to work, she makes sure to keep in shape by training regularly at the Twilight dance studio. The latter has just been saved from ruin by a very generous new investor: Edward Cullen, CEO of SpyTech and an incredibly sexy hunk of a guy. And even though Bella feels drawn to the handsome gentleman in a suit, she desperately tries to stay away from him...

Edward, however, is determined to pursue the gorgeous dancer, whom he cannot get out of his head. Watching her perform was unlike anything he's ever experienced and now he wants to get to know Bella better. He immediately develops a fierce protectiveness with regards to the girl and guesses that she must have gone through a lot in the past. He is never too far from where she is: if Bella's dance partner Mike gets too close for Edward's liking, he storms into the studio and tells him off. If Bella forgets to turn of the alarm of the top notch security system he has installed in her apartment, he reminds her via text message. Though the elusive CEO is a huge mystery to Bella yet his attentiveness to her needs and his honest concern for her safety touch her heart - especially now that her abusive ex-boyfriend tries to get back in touch with her. Not to mention the fact that Edward is hot as hell and that she fantasizes about him every night. So inevitably, the two get closer and soon cannot ignore the sexual tension that constantly surrounds them anymore. As both of them are unwilling to get emotionally attached they make a business arrangment to be "aquaintances with benefits", purely providing the other with sex. Yet too soon Edward and Bella realize that they cannot fight the feelings they are developing for one another...

In this story, Edward is a bit of an enigma, to put it mildly. Though it is clear from the beginning that he has no bad intentions when it comes to Bella and only wants her to be safe, you can't help but become a bit suspicious of him. There are a lot of strings he pulls behind Bella's back and while they will eventually help saving her life, keeping it a secret from the woman he's enchanted with is a huge mistake. The fact that the fanfic is completely written from Bella's POV adds to the mystery that Edward presents. The reader only knows as much as Bella does and, just like her, constantly wonders what the mesmerizing Mr. Cullen has to hide. Furthermore, Bella is a very broken character in this story. Due to her past, she is afraid of any kind of romantic committment and is later even willing to sell her body to save Edward from harm. Fortunately, she has friends who keep her sane and prevent her from making mistakes. The story contains some lemons which are very nice to read as they are tastefully written. Both Edward and Bella are insatiable, even if her past and some later events will put a short damper on that in the middle of the story; a story that is very entertaining and will keep you thoroughly entertained!

Investing in Love consists of 67 chapters and 129,903 words. The story is rated M for lemons, foul language, and some angst.

When thirty-eight-year old Edward Cullen is asked by his business partner Charlie Swan whether he is still looking for a new assistant, he has no idea how much his life would change in the following few weeks. Happy to finally have some help again, Edward happily accepts Charlie's suggestion to employ his daughter Bella. She has just graduated from college (at the age of twenty-one, mind you) and as she wants to one day open her own graphic design company, she sees this as a great opportunity to get a whiff of what it means and takes to run your own business. Unfortunately, neither Bella nor Edward thought about what working together would actually entail. Because when Bella walks into her new boss' office, both of them have difficulties breathing. The last time they saw each other, Bella was sweet seventeen and still a girl. Now, however, she is a gorgeous and enticing woman, who smells too good for words. Needless to say, Edward has the same effect on Bella and the two know they are in deep trouble...

But if them working together and an age difference of seventeen years isn't enough to make their situation utterly complicated, the fact that Bella also has a rather unusual and slightly naughty little side-job definitely is. She loves dancing and works at Girlesque, a night club in New York. And though she doesn't strip, she is putting on some seriously hot, burlesque-like show for her visitors. One day, the latter happens to be Edward, who begrudgingly stops by the club after his cousin Emmett begged him to do so. Because ever Edward's divorce from Kate has been finalized, he buries himself in work, shying away from any kind of fun or pleasure. That chances, however, when Edward sees Bella and her sexy performance. Both of them cannot deny their desires for the other any more and have amazing sex in his office. Unfortunately, Edward is tormented by the age difference and the fact that his good friend Charlie might not be happy about what he does with his daughter, and so he distances himself from Bella. Thankfully for Bella, they have to go on long business trips together during which she decides to confront her boss and confess her feelings to him. Will Edward be able to get over Kate and everything she's done to him and finally give in to what he really wants? And what will happen once Charlie finds our about their relationship?

Compared to many of her other fics that the hugely talented CaraNo has written for the Twilight fandom, this little story is rather outside the norm, yet still absolutely amazing. First and foremost, All Nighters includes as good as no angst. Though the story does have its dramatic moments, the general tone is fluffly and sweet - no darkness whatsoever. Bella knows exactly what she wants - Edward - and she is willing to do everything in her power to get him. She is incredibly smart and confident with herself while Edward is like a glorious lion trapped in a cage. He really wants out and devour her and the future they could have, but he doesn't know how. Moreover, you only have the canon couples in this story, no funny combinations: Edward is with Bella, Charlie with Renee, and Emmett kind of hooks up with Rose. In addition, you will find some immensely funny passages in All Nighters, especially once Charlie finds out about his daughter's new boyfriend. It's hilarious and so well-written! This wonderful story by CaraNo is presented from both characters' POV and a really quick read. The plot is so interesting that you probably won't need more than two sittings to be through. Happy reading!

All Nighters consists of 3 chapters and a total of 40,006 words. The story is rated M for lemons and foul language.

I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

Manual writer Bella Swan is coaxed by her sister to take tango lessons at a local dance studio. Full of concern, Alice watches how Bella hardly ever leaves the house and has as good as no friends. She hopes that by convincing her to learn how to dance, her sister will eventually be forced to socialize with others and live a little. Not able to deny Alice, Bella agrees and goes to the studio. There she runs into dance teacher Edward Cullen, who is not just ridiculously handsome and talented but also tells her that she would be given individual classes with him. Carefully he manages to get a nervous Bella to relax and starts showing her some easy yet still intimitate dancing steps. Edward notices right away that Bella, as beautiful as she is, likes to withdraw from the world and is more than insecure about herself. He immediately decides to not only teach her how to master the art of dancing tango but also how to enjoy and live her life. Because he himself had to learn the hard way how short and volatile life can be. When his boss and friend Jacob Black (Edward used to be the chief financial officer in marketing company) is killed in a car accident, Edward is responsible for making all the necessary arrangments regarding his death. As he is listed as the only emergency contact, things like organ donation and funeral arrangements have now to be decided by the young man. It is then that he realizes how much he doesn't enjoy his job and lifestyle and that life is too short to not do what you really want. So he contacts his old friend Tanya and begins working as a dance teacher. He definitely had no idea that fate would soon introduce him to true love - in form of a brown-eyed beauty...

I Hope You Dance is a sweet yet tame little one-shot that portrays Edward and Bella very realistically. Both of them have had their fare share of difficulties in their lives but learned to deal with them in a very different way. While Edward took the death of his friend as an incentive to really start living, Bella hides from the world, afraid of never being enough. When they finally meet in the dance studio, sparks fly, and Edward can't help but slowly show Bella that there are things worth living out there, including love. He acts very sweet toward her and though he tries to be careful not to overstep his boundaries, Bella more than once runs away from him out of panic. But gradually, she realizes that she can trust her handsome tango teacher and loses herself in his arms, literally. The story is completely written from a third-person narrator, who focuses on Bella's feelings but also has some insight into Edward's mind. There are no grammatical mistakes and the plot is more than entertaining. A wonderful little one-shot that will leave you yearning for more Dancerward!

I Hope You Dance is a one-shot and consists of 18,296. The story is rated T some foul language.

Note: The story title is based on a song with the same name by Lee Ann Womack. A wonderful cover has also been made by Ronan Keating.

Edward Cullen had everything in his life: he grew up in a rich and loving family and was on the best way of becoming a doctor at the University of Maryland. But a tragic event strikes him so hard that he drifts to a dark place, abandons his family, and withdraws to himself completely. The once lively and loving Edward slowly turns into a broody and angry young man. Yet still, luck seems to somehow be on his side as he miraculously manages to receive an amazing scholarship from the University of Washington; offering him to start a second career as a football player. Considering that he is in dire need of money and a new persective in life, Edward accepts the Dean's offer, but also needs to accept some conditions. As the Dean is well aware of Edward's escapades in the past he is only willing to welcome him to UW if he either stays in his dorm room all the time, thoroughly watched by surveillance cameras, or goes to live in an apartment with four other young people, one of whom will keep an eye on him. Needless to say, Edward chooses option number 2 and finally becomes the newest member of the Huskies Football Team...

What he doesn't expect is that his four new roommates will change his life irrevocably. First of all, Edward shares the apartment with three women - Alice, Rosalie, and Bella - and one guy - Emmett. The latter is supposed to keep Edward in check all the time and informs him rather harshly that he'd better stay the hell away from his girlfriend Rose. Moreover, Emmett also wants him to stay clear of Alice's and Bella's way all the time and, for now, that doesn't sound like too big of a challenge for Edward. At least until he meets Bella. Though the two don't start off on good terms when they meet, the still realize quickly that they suffer from similar traumatic pasts. Edward falls hard for her but is patient enough to let her set the pace of the relationship. They both decide to continue whatever is happening between them in secret for a while, at least until Emmett gets a lot more comfortable around Edward. But of course, their plan doesn't work and Emmett finds out way too suddenly for their liking. What will happen then? And will Bella's and Edward's pasts eventually break them apart?

But now that I did, I strongly encourage everyone to read it! This story has is all: whether you are looking for angst, a sexy Sportward, who aspires to become a doctor (gah! I need a fan!), lovely lemons, comfort, fluff, or even some college drama - I don't think there is anything this story lacks! wolfpgirl has also created great character personalities apart from the awesome plot-line. She manages to include a peppy Alice as a dance leader for the Huskies and the girlfriend of Edward's best friend Jasper; a bold and car-loving Rose and her lover, the overprotective bear, Emmett; as well as our lovely Edward and a dancing Bella all into one! Furthermore, you will never miss out on both Edward's and Bella's thinking since the story alternates between their respective points of view. The story will clench your heart in ways you have probably never experienced before and leave you hooked until the very last word, leaving you sighing happily at the end.

Bella's been watching Edward for weeks, ever since he walked in 4 classes into the semester and sat a few rows behind her. Yet every time she's caught staring she's met with a scowl instead of a smile - until the day he calls her out on it during a smoke break between their shared 3-hour class. Their banter turns to flirting and soon... a friendship begins to form. But Edward is hiding something and Bella is determined to find out what it is. He's secretive, he always wears a hat, he's always fatigued and too prideful to admit he needs help. Help Bella is all too willing to give.

Working with her godmother Esme at her ballet studio, dealing with a step-monster, and being a shoulder for her charismatic roommate, Bella has lost her passion for dancing. It's not until she meets Edward and connects with him that she begins to find herself once again. Then Edward's secret finally comes to light - he's in remission after a rigorous round of chemo. All his attempts to push her away are fruitless, because it's too late. Bella's all in, and if Edward is being honest, he's all in, too.

I've probably read this fic about four times and each time it hits me in the heart. I love this story, it's so beautiful. It's heartbreaking to see how being sick has changed Edward and his family. How Bella has lost her passion in life and finds it again through love and compassion. Grand Jete is written in third person from Bella's point of view. Also, the epilogue is pretty creative and original, I enjoyed this fic so much. I'll probably read it again in a few weeks.

Grand Jete consists of 63,071 words and 18 chapters. This fic is rated MA for lemons and adult content.

Bella, an ivy league student and girls ballet instructor, has just received the three words every girl wants to hear from her boyfriend—I love you. So what does she do? She runs to the nearest bar and orders a stiff drink from a hot Southie who propositions her to be his friend. Feeling lost in her own mixed emotions, a new friend might be just what she needs. Soon Bella finds herself single again, but completely taken by Edward’s thick Boston accent, deep green eyes, panty dropper smile, and relentless pursuit of her heart. A heart she’s ready to hand over on a platter. But loving Edward comes with a package deal in the form of an alcoholic brother (Jasper), a smart mouthed sister (Rosalie), and the sweetest niece ever (Olivia). Suddenly Bella finds herself in the middle of something that changes the course of the life she had planned out.

Edward, a Boston native with a quick wit and a hot temper, falls quick and falls hard when he meets Bella Swan. He has his hands full with his dysfunctional family, but always remains the strong one that holds everyone together. Now that Bella is a part of that family he’s ready to take on everything and anything for her. Even if that means having to be the one to literally carry her through the tough times.

This my first fanfic of DazzlinSparkle05 and I was blown away. At first I was like, Bostonward? I'm so there! But then I was completely taken with Bella and how sweet and loving she is with Edward. Can I just say that this Edward is probably one of my top ten favorite Edward's of all time. Hell, maybe even in my top 5! He is ADORABLE and fierce and loyal and sexy as hell. I know I usually write my personal reviews more formal, but this fic seriously pulled me in and had me staying up way past my bedtime. The way Edward loves Bella is truly something worth reading more than once. 

Conversations Between Adults consists of 75,082 words and 31 chapters. This fic is rated MA for lemons and adult content.

In a grocery store Edward happens to meet Bella Swan,a nineteen-year old Juilliard student, who is not only a close friend of his sister Rose but also knows how to sign.

Feeling drawn to the handsome father and musician, she just can't wait to spend more time with him and his family. The only thing is, Edward is 28 - almost ten years older than her...
