Bella Swan is not popular. To be fair, it’s hard to be popular when the ice-queen of the school hates your guts. Lucky for Bella, the feeling is mutual. She hates the narcissistic Rosalie Hale and her vain posse and, more than anything, she hates Rosalie’s perfect life and her perfect boyfriend. When she sees said boyfriend, Edward Cullen, she figures that a little revenge is in order. On a whim, she pulls Edward into the back of his Volvo and gives him the best blow-job he’s ever had. After that, they fall into some sort of unspoken agreement: whenever Rosalie does something that annoys Bella, she’ll come to Edward and... works off her anger. Edward isn’t complaining - he gets more from Bella than he’s ever gotten from Rosalie. However, one day of blood-testing in Biology class and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s changes everything. 

Suddenly, Bella doesn’t need Rosalie to annoy her anymore in order to get together with Edward, who is now softer and gentler with her. Their entire dynamic changes completely and they both know that it isn’t Rosalie anymore, who is "binding" them together. The more time they spend together, the more they reveal about one another, and the more they find themselves falling for each other. Soon, Edward is taking Bella out to dinner and their relationship is so different from what it was when it started. And both are only thinking one thing: it’s too good to be true. Will they be able to take it to the next level, or will their own insecurities hold them back? 

Author m7707 is a personal favorite of mine. I’ve always loved her work and Good Deal is definitely no exception to that. Her writing is so smooth and sweet to read and with Good Deal, she introduces a Bella, who is completely different from those that I usually read. Because this Bella is confident, snarky, and not afraid to go after what she wants. When what she wants is to get revenge on Rosalie, things turn out for the better for both her and Edward. Edward, in this story, is a complete sweetheart. His confusion and awkwardness whenever Bella leaves after one of their rendezvous is absolutely priceless and wonderful to read. Good Deal, which is written from BPOV, is short and sweet and one of those stories that’s great for a quick read before bed. If you haven’t read it yet, you should definitely give it a try! 

Good Deal consists of 10 chapters and a total of 20,978 words. This story is rated M for graphic lemons and foul language.

"I officially met Edward Cullen the first day of my junior year in high school." And things were never the same for Isabella Swan after that. Strictly speaking, popular hockey player Edward Cullen and shy Bella Swan should never have had the connection that they did. Once they meet, though, there’s no stopping them. Introduced in biology class and held together by their mutual friends, Edward and Bella spend more and more time together. Edward can’t stop thinking about the timid, brown-eyed beauty and Bella can’t believe that he’s still after her, even after he’s witnessed her clumsiness: "Be safe. If you fall, I won’t be around to catch you until then." They’re both oblivious to the other’s attraction and, like true high-schoolers, need several pushes in the right direction to get to where they both want to be. Sweet first kisses and dates on the ice rink set up what will become one epic romance. But things can’t stay perfect forever...

Just as things between the new couple become better than either of them had dreamed of, Edward’s past comes back to haunt him. And Bella. When James, a vengeful and criminally bloodthirsty rival of Edward’s comes back, it is not just Edward who gets burned. Soon, Bella finds herself constanly having to watch her back in order to make sure that she doesn’t fall in the hands of a villain. Edward never thought he'd see the day when his enemies would put his girlfriend in danger, and now that it's happening, it's taking everything in him not to go mad with guilt. When he closes his eyes, all he sees is the broken, battered body of the girl he loves more than anything else. Will love be enough to keep them coming back to each other? We were young, and we’d learned the hard way that nothing in this life was certain, but there was no doubt in my mind we had something very special together.

Major Misconduct may have started off as a high-school love story, but the kind of love I read in this story is so much beyond just that. The first time I read this story, it left me speechless. The second time, it warmed my heart. The third time, I finally realized why I kept coming back for more, which is because this story has everything. It has humor, drama, romance, family, friendship, and just the right amount of fear. It’s also very real. At the end of the day, they’re high school students, and m7707 knows how to make it believable. In everything they do, though, it’s clear that they love each other deeply. It starts off as watching each other from afar, to flirting, to being willing to die for each other. The way m7707 wrote this fanfiction - which is completely written from Bella's POV - made sure that I was captivated by it from page one and I could hardly stop reading until I reached the end of the last chapter. Despite the minimal grammatical errors, m7707’s writing is simply perfect. This is a story that no one should miss out on!

Major Misconduct consists of 36 chapters and 160,515 words. This story is rated MA for language, a little violence, and descriptive sexual activities. Coincidental Major, the events written from Edward's POV, can be found here.
