Bella Swan has almost everything she could've ever hoped for: an amazing career that earned her a gold medal in women's mogul freestyle skiing at the last Olympic Games, a wonderful family, and great and supportive friends. The only thing missing is a long-lasting and loving relationship. Enter Edward Cullen. Cocky, absurdly handsome, and unbelievably talented skier Edward Cullen to be exact; a man, who is currently on the best way to win two gold medals in the disciplines Super G and Downhill. Ever since the two had a quick yet highly sexual and passionate run-in three years ago, Bella can't get the bronze-hair adonis out of her head. It's him she compares every other man to and whose career she follows carefully.

When she sees him again at the current Olympic games, she tries her best to play it cool and not show how much she wants to get to know him. Believing that Edward is nothing more than a snow-ho - someone only looking for a quick fu** with snow bunnies instead of pursuing a serious relationship - she avoids him at all costs. Nevertheless, she and Edward continue meeting on several occasions which he uses to explain to her that she means more to him than a simple one-night stand. Unfortunately, his upcoming competition forces him to stay focused and keep a distance, at least until he's done with the Games. Yet both this and Bella's plan to give him the brush off don't work out and the two are finally forced to talk about what they feel...

Off Piste is a quick read that is nicely written and full of adorable fluff. Completely written from Bella's POV, the reader encounters the charming and sweet Edward Cullen through her eyes. He is pretty much every woman's wet dream and it becomes obvious how much he wants and cares for Bella (even though she doesn't realize it). The first couple of chapters have a comparatively normal length, however, after all characters are explained and the main plot is introduced, the author switches to short chapters, similar to those found in drabble fics. Though this is the main reason why this fanfic is such a quick read, it also tends to break the otherwise wonderful story in too many too tiny pieces. Last but not least, there is also a good amount of humor in this story, especially in the beginning, when Edward and Bella use their time together to do nothing but banter with each other. Though there are a lot of nice lemons in Off Piste, none of them are overly graphic. Still, you should definitely give this story a chance - it's perfect if you're in need of something fluffy and short!

Off Piste consists of 51 chapters and a total of 58,949 words. The story is rated M for numerous lemons and foul language.

Ice princess and Olympic silver medalist figure skater Bella Swan had always envisioned her future to be full of success. Yet when she fell hard during practice and injured her knee, chances of her getting back on the ice became slim. Disheartened by the terrible turn of events as well as her incredibly pushy mother's disappointment in her, Bella decides to escape from her life for a bit and moves to her hometown, Minnesota. At the airport, she meets a strikingly handsome young man who helps her with her baggage and escorts her safely to a taxi. The two connect instantly but when they go their separate ways again, all Bella knows is that is first name is Edward and that he has the most beautiful set of emerald green eyes she had ever seen...

But luck is still somewhat on her side when she meets two lovely young ladies: Alice and Rosalie. As they live right next to her, they take care of Bella and before she even knows it, they have become her new best friends - a new experience for Bella since she had always doubted other people's intentions with her being a famous ice skater. Yet despite the fact that the young woman is finally beginning to lead a somewhat normal life, she can't get the constant negative comments from her mother on getting back on the ice out of her mind. Furthermore, tantalizing Edward has never escaped far from her thoughts since she saw him last. So, to say that she is positively surprised when she sees him again at a hockey game would be an understatement. It turns out that Edward, and Alice's and Rose's boyfriends, Emmett and Jasper are successful NHL players on the ice. What follows the intense plot is a roller-coaster of emotions, but will Bella be able to return Edward's strong feelings for her? And will she ever be able to compete again and deal with her mother at the same time?

Get ready and tighten your skates for this wonderful ride of a story! When I was reading it, I was captured by it from the very first chapter and found myself actually going through it as if it told the story of my own life, not Bella's. Such is the power of BellaMarie117; she really pulls you into the story and creates a real life experience of what it means to be on the ice. With regards to the other characters, let me say that you would often find a super bubbly Alice and a mean Rose in fanfics but Take the Ice will have you adore the two women to pieces with the way they maturely stand by Bella through thick and thin. And with the two women come their partners, Jasper and Emmett. Rest assured, you will find that these guys will manage to shove back the tension and make you laugh out loud at their special antics. And where do I even begin with our lovely Edward? He made me fall in love with his character even more, if that is even possible. He's the most patient, loving, and considerate partner any girl out there could hope for! He really brings out the funny feeling in your stomach when you are reading and is a stark contrast to Bella's frustrations. Did I already mention hot make-out sessions and smut? Don't be intimidated by the story's length because trust me, it's really worth it! You will regret it if you don't read, big time!

Take the Ice consists of 26 chapters and a total of 425,876 words. The fanfiction is rated M for language and sexual situations.

"You got a ballpark for that?"
"Wrigley."
"Dammit."

Edward's having a bad day. His parents are separating and his girlfriend is as insensitive as she is clueless. The only person who could make his day better is his best friend and next-door neighbor, Bella Swan. She knows him backward and front and will know exactly what to say and do to help ease his worries. However, what he doesn't see coming is a surprise kiss initiated by he himself followed by an intense chemistry that throws Edward completely off whack. But one slip of the tongue from a flabbergasted Edward and Bella is slamming on the breaks.

Suddenly Bella is longer seen as his tomboy next-door neighbor/best friend with a killer curveball. Now everything about her he once overlooked and took for granted are shining through as amazing and desirable--and those knee high baseball socks she wears all the time are super hot! How did he not notice these things before? With his new revelation, Edward begins the task of winning Bella Swan's heart back. Because she sure as hell has his. And it really doesn't help that she's been hanging out with that Jake guy, and his older siblings keep giving him crazy advice, oh and his parents are still separating. What's a guy to do?

First of all, anything written by purelyamuse is unmistakably going to be pure gold. Never Said I Didn't is yet another 'homerun' for this author. Written entirely in EPOV, the reader gets into the mind of your typical teenage boy. But this one has a heart of gold--well, once he gets his head out of his ass. Character development is definitely accomplished in this "June witfit prompts" inspired tale. I loved reading Edward's hilarious thoughts and Bella's sassy attitude. These two really are made for each other and they are so freaking adorable! Oh, and bonus points to purelyamuse for having a side plotline with Edward's parents. I felt it was a wonderful contrast to Edward's pursuit of Bella.

Never Said I Didn't consists of 23 chapters and 72,786 words. This fic is rated M for language and adult content.

Yosemite Decimal is such a fun story! In all the time I've been reading Twilight fanfiction I've never come across a story like this before - I mean, have you ever read a fanfic where a lemon takes place on a rock climbing wall? Me neither. In a captivating and deep way, the author combines the technical side of rock climbing (you'll learn many climbing terms) with the personal stories of our favorite characters. Except for one brief moment of angst, Yosemite Decimal will have you laughing, fanning yourself, or going "Ahhh". Trust me, you won't regret reading it!

Yosemite Decimal consists of 129,560 words and 23 chapters. The story is rated M for language and lemons on a rock climbing wall.

Bella’s dad’s job has just moved them from the little cold town of Forks, to the sunny sands of Santa Cruz, CA.  Enrolled to start at UC Santa Cruz in the fall, Bella has her whole summer ahead of her to do whatever she wants. But being the new one in a town filled with tourists, regulars, and endless possibilities, Bella has no idea what the heck she wants to do. Until she finds CC Surf and Skate. Hired on the spot, Bella accepts graciously - but there’s a catch. The shop’s owner, Edward Cullen, wants to teach her how to surf.

Edward is tall, older, and drop-dead-gorgeous - he also has a four-year-old son and a clingy ex. But no matter, with each crack of dawn surf lesson, Bella and Edward grow closer. She hides her crush, thinking someone like Edward would never go for a girl like her. Edward’s younger brother, Jasper, would agree. Suddenly lines are crossed and to hell with the consequences, they’ll fight hard to make it work. Well, that’s the plan… until reality comes crashing down on them like a 6-foot tidal wave.

Going Under is one of my favorites. I know I say this a lot, but I can’t help but share these treasures with you guys! I’ve read this about four times so far and each time I still find myself getting sucked in until the late hours of the night. Bella’s naïve innocence and Edward’s intense loyalty suck the reader in and keep you glued to the story. The descriptions are awesome (especially the surfing!), the writing is very well done, and keeps a consistent pace and tone plot wise. Not to mention, “L” is adorrrrable!

Going Under consists of 46 chapters and 78,358 words. This story is rated M for language and tastefully written lemons.

This wonderful one-shot is the winner of the "GOING FOR THE GOLD" contest - and rightfully so. In this story Bella, a successful figure skater, and Edward, an equally successful snowboarder, meet at the Olympic Games in Russia. The two have secretly followed the career of the respective other but never found the courage to talk to each other. That changes when Bella is escaping her room mates naughty party and runs straight into handsome and cocky Edward. And although the two can hardly keep their feelings under control, Bella's insecurities and worries are about to prevent them from having their happily ever after...

It's a wonderful story! Beautifully written and with some very cute and romantic scenes. And if the Edward's humor or there passionate night they spend together doesn't keep you glued to the screen, the little extra drama put in by Jenny0719 will definitely do!

Melt With You is a one shot and consists of 10,290 words. The story is rated M for mature content.
