Six years ago, both their hearts were broken. Back then, everything seemed to be perfect and yet, it wasn't. Two childhood friends who grew up to be the perfect couple in High School were facing something that they had never imagined to come between them: a break-up. It isn’t easy for either of them when Edward and Bella have to come to terms with the physical aspect of their relationship but when Bella learns about the ultimate betrayal from Edward's end, she is quick to end things without a second thought about the man she loved. While Edward, on the the other hand, doesn't get a chance to explain his actions and drowns himself in guilt and grief. But his love for Bella is ever-lasting and he is adamant on getting her back. Even now, Edward still tries day and night to come up with a way to win back Bella's trust. Is it as easy as he believes it will be? Will Bella be able to give her heart to the man she still loves, or will the past years always cloud her vision?

Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear is an amazing short story that will have you hooked from the very first chapter. Though the chapters in this story are short, almost drabble-like, they are written in a unique style—each chapter is split in half, starting in present-time and then going back six years ago in italics. Although this may be hard to explain, TheFicChick does an exemplary job in organizing the events of the story and comprehending the fic is not at all difficult. What I really loved about Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Are is that it really brings out the qualities of true friendship and a relationship, which portrays realism within the story. As the story progresses, the reader can really see how trust and patience are the most important things to have in any kind of a bond. The fact that this is portrayed by our favorite characters is just a cherry on the icing ;-). Don't hesitate to read this amazing story that may even give out a few important messages pertaining relationships in life!

Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear consists of 50 chapters and a total of 59,282 words. The story is rated M for some language and sexual content.

The story begins with a normal bunch of high schools teachers having a drink at a bar. Bella and her fellow co-workers and friends start talking about the hot new PE teacher Edward Cullen and it just so turns out that he and Bella are paired together to teach Sex-Ed for the year. Awkward much? So the two start to plan their lessons during fourth period and despite the uncomfortable topic that caused them to get together, there is a instant friendship between them. As they go through lesson after lesson with crazy students and embarrassing encounters, Edward and Bella slowly progress in their personal relationship.

It turns out that "SexEd-ward" has not really had a real girlfriend since high school and only dated one girl back when he was in Boy's Boarding School. Well, don't worry, Edward, Bella is there for you! Suddenly one of the two teachers given the task to educate their students about an uncomfortable topic, is shown what all that means in reality by the the other teacher. Good old Bella shows Edward how each base is really covered but will they be able to stop with that? As teachers they are supposed to make rational decisions, with the best interest in mind, but will they be able to apply that rule to themselves?

I read this story in one sitting as I simply couldn't stop till I was done with it. The chemistry between Bella and Edward, combined with their immediate attraction, is beautifully captured by TheFicChick. Although the first sexual encounter between the two is quite shocking, the author was able to brilliantly capture the sweet beginning of a new relationship and, together with crazy friends and heavy pasts, managed to mix it into one great story. You should definitely read it if you are looking for some romance and humor all in one! A fanfiction that will have you laughing at the couple's awkward moments with their crazy students and sighing sweetly at their blooming romance! A story that will definitely keep you hooked and light-hearted at the same time - not to be missed!

The Practicum consists of 15 chapters and 97,904 words. The story is rated M for language and sexual situations/discussions.

After attending the bachelorette party of her best friend Rose in Chicago, Bella is on her way home to Seattle. Unfortunately, bad weather conditions delay her flight and force her to spend more time at the airport than planned. In search for a place to sit, she meets U.S. marine Edward Cullen, who is waiting for his flight to New York. The two hit it off immediately and the eight hours they spend together until Edward has to leave, are packed with lots of flirting and humor!

TheFicChick released her first Twilight fanfiction in October 2012, really I kid you not! It's so hard to believe that she hasn't been doing this for ages because her depiction of the characters is spot-on and her writing style impeccable! Although Bella and Edward don't see each other for a good part of the story, Departures doesn't lack romantic gestures, fluffy moments, and sexual innuendo! And once, Edward comes home these two really use their pent-up energy! Angst-free.

Departures consists of 10 chapters and a total of 95,090 words. The story is rated M for lemons.
