The Estuary (nursery of the sea) - new/wips

The Heiress of Lord Henry More By: Nofrure
Bella is a young doctor who during a flight is asked to help an old man. This is how she meets the man who should have been her grandfather, becoming The Heiress of 12 billion dollars, putting her in the path of Lord Edward Cullen. It will surprise you.
~Was it luck or by design that Bella and her mom find themselves bumped to first class on a flight to Sydney? Nofrure is a M.D. IRL and has wonderfully written a twisty-turny realistic adventure tangling medical situations with wealth and privilege, family dysfunction...and a seriously cray-cray Renee. Almost complete!

Unplugged by Write Sisters
Masen, rock star, had it all—until he didn't. Now, he's trying to rebuild his life, retrace his steps and, hopefully, do it all again, only right this time. Bella Swan had herheart broken, her confidence dashed, and her trust in love destroyed by Edward Cullen. It's taken her years to get over his betrayal, and now, having finally gotten her life together, he's back.

~What a compelling heart-rending journey of manipulation and misinterpretation, years of pain, anger, separation and trying to move on, and then...can it be...reconciliation? Write Sisters is very talented with dishing the angst! Nearing completion!

A Port in the Storm By: DeJean Smith
It was a dark and stormy night when Edward Masen made his way to Swan House in the hopes of fulfilling his father's promise. He prayed Master Swan would honor the contract Edward, Sr., had made but could no longer uphold. Little did the young man know that the storms of life strike equally, regardless of social status, and he was not the only one searching for a safe port.
~A determined Edward, a sneaky Isabella, a unique Emmett and a MIA Charles. Love this and all the characterizations! DeJean writes a beautiful moving story!

The Breakers - newly completed

If You Should Let Ghosts Die by Leah C. Drawn
"Is the big triangle you and the small one your son?" Bella asked, pointing at Edward's tattoo; surprised she'd caught it, he nodded. "I like it, but it's missing something, don't you think?" Edward cocked his head to the side. "Missing something?" "A little color. For my taste, at least. Just like you," Bella smiled kindly. "You could do with a little color in your life." B/E AH
~In spite of...or maybe because of the hardships she survived growing up, Bella IS the rainbow connection that brings people together and adds the color to their lives. What a gripping, moving story! I may just go read again! Seriously under-reviewed...show her some love!

Driving Forces by Alyscia
Bella Cullen was about to have everything she had worked toward until she lost the two most important things in her life. Vice president of the legal department in her family's business, she tries to bury her pain in work. All of that changes the day she meets a man that has obviously suffered froma serious trauma. Edward Swan is more than shy; he's scared of everything.
~An excellent role reversal of the Lawyer/struggling-single-parent-who-needs a job and the journey of growth, development and justice to find resolution. You just want to reach out and hug Edward...but, better leave that to a very patient Bella. Thank you, Alyscia!

The Curb By: Jonesn
Bella's night doesn't go as planned when she forgets an address and stumbles upon an injured stranger instead.
~Bella has worked hard, is almost ready to graduate from college, and is just minding her own business. Helping and being kind opens her to a whole other kind of life! Thank you for sharing, Jonesn!

Buried Treasures - golden oldies

An Angry Man by katinki
COMPLETE. Edward is a bitter, angry man, a man suffering the sins of his past. An emotional & physical recluse, he pushes everyone away. That is, until Bella, a mysterious woman with her own demons, moves in and forces him to face himself. AH.
~Something terrible and traumatic happened and Edward has shouldered all the blame...for years. All he wants is to suffer in silence...alone. If I had a top five fav fanfic authors, katinki would be one! She has brilliantly written action/adventure, humor, schmexy romance, suspense…this one is rather angsty! (now if only she would finish Operation: Break the Dawn!)

If Love Could Light a Candle By: Pastiche Pen
Edward Cullen: telepath, vampire, and psychologist. When a new patient ignites unfamiliar feelings in his soul, can he reconcile his past with his future? A la Midnight Sun. Warnings: Violence, lots of character death, and the usual.
~I read this 10 years ago as a WIP and loved the dual contrasting timelines between his past and present. A ‘dark noir’, good vs. bad, each piece is so well researched into the culture, slang, historical, artistic and musical references – and all the sensations – it just puts you there in the middle of it. All these years later and I still have all the feels! Pastiche Pen is is a masterful, captivating storyteller!

Exposed by kdc2239
An influenza pandemic occurs when a new virus appears against which the human population has no immunity, resulting in epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness. The story of two strangers surviving when they only have each other.
~kdc2239 writes a very realistic and hair-raising tale of struggle, survival and love. She will have you scared and suffering on the edge of your seat. Excellent...every single word!

I want to start by apologizing, I tried to go back and find as many of these campfires as possible to verify who has been used and who hasn't, but I wasn't able to go through everything so I'm sure I'll possibly hit some of the same people on accident.

Also, hopefully I'll get  a front banner made by next time. But for now, I want to honor one of the most inspirational women I've ever studied. I read her poems in school, listened to her songs, and heard her speaches. 

Maya Angelou was beautiful and aged with a grace not seen by many. Though no longer alive, I feel it's only right to pay homage to her.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Hot Guy Campfire. What better way to start your week than a hot guy?

Every Monday, I'm going to dedicate a CF to the Hot Guy of the Week.The catch? The CF can ONLY be about the current nominated guy. 

We all have different tastes in men, so please don't yuck anyone's yum.If you have a man you'd like to see crowned for the week, PM or hit me up on twitter (@ffcherry) with his name

Happy Fic Dive Friday!
I just wanted y’all to know I do my best to look for stories with near-perfect grammar, spelling, and punctuation and a more substantial the plot the better. Cringe-inducing pet peeves are incorrectly written dialogue tags and the misuse of homonyms. The teacher in me wants to whip out a red pen and make corrections, lol, but if it becomes too much...I just can’t continue.
I also really try to support new writers.
Thank you for all your words of encouragement! I wish you happy reading

Their tentative relationship grows as they learn to face their fears and learn that things might not be hopeless after all.

~Wow! The final two chapters are up after a bit of a break! The conclusion of a very hot, sexy, yet tumultuous ride for these two! Gret job, kikki7!

Killa & Bee by ceceprincess1217
Edward "Killa" Masen isn't sure why his father wants to team up with the Italians, and he sure as hell isn't happy about the deal to combine the two most powerful families into one. Isabella 'Bee' Swanatori has dreams of her own and they damn sure have nothing to do with Edward Masen.

~I am in admiration of the writing range of ceceprincess1217 who can smoothly come from writing the proper (almost), dashing, melt-you-into-a puddle Bachelor Duke regency time to the foul-mouthed, deadly, horny-as-hell Killa and his Bee. (actually, the Duke was h-a-h too!) I will gladly read anything she writes! Thank you, lady! Waiting for what's next!

Until You by olivejuice26

She soon learns that the kind boy she's working with hides a broken spirit behind a smile that convinces everyone but her. With him, she will discover how to love through adversity; with her, he will uncover a passion to live and love without bounds. AH, OOC

~Aww...this is the sweetest, most insightful, and perseverant Bella who sees past Edward's false bravado to help him on a journey towards realizing his hopes and dreams!. Thank you olivejuice26!
