Slash Rec: Sacrifice by @mw138


This week I've decided to bring you an bit of an angsty one shot. It's called Sacrifice by mw138 and I read it a few weeks ago. It's fantastically written and I think you are going to love it.

Edward and Jasper used to be together but Edward used to be an addict and all we really know is that Edward said some things to Jasper that he didn't mean but they aren't together anymore.

Edward's family shows up on his doorstep to tell Edward that Jasper was shot trying to protect some kids from gunfire and they don't know if he's going to make it.

The first thing Edward wants to do is fly to Jasper and talk to him, make him fight, and make things okay between them again.

I can't tell you how it ends, but I can promise you that you are going to love it!

So head on over to her profile and don't forget to leave her some love, because after all, the Major would be pleased.

Until next time,

Mel

Tuesday Slash Rec on... Wednesday?


First of all, let me start off by apologizing for the failness that was me last week. I didn't get a rec up for you and for that I am sorry, but it was a long bad week and I just didn't have time at all.

Enough of the excuses, even though it's late this week, I'm getting one up for you and you are going to love it!

It's called Drenched by MizzHyde and it's a Jasper/Edward tragic tale.

Banner by the fantabulous UNF4Rob

Okay, y'all, this is a dribble story, meaning the chapters are very short, all of them under 1000 words. We may only be two chapters into the story but MizzHyde has promised to post between two and three chapters a day until the 36 chapters are all posted.

I don't have to have read the whole thing to know that it's going to be fabulous, everything she writes is.

It's a tragedy and romance and heartfail and it's sure to make you cry, but I wouldn't miss it for the world. So jump on in and catch up and dont forget to show her some love, because lets face it, the Major was mad at me last week and I need to make it up to him. This would help me tremendously!

Thanks y'all :)

I'm out til next week!

Slash Rec: A Tangible Dichotomy by @PPersuasion


Hey everyone, I almost missed today! Been feeling crappy the past week but I wanted to share with you a little gem that I got an update for in my inbox this week and spent one night completely re-reading! It's called A Tangible Dichotomy by PerfectlyPersuasive.

It's the story of Edward and Jasper and their college journey. They both have horrible experiences with their first room mates and get assigned to each other. They get along perfectly and Jasper is afraid to tell Edward that he's gay because they become best friends fast and he doesn't want to lose him.

The story is told alternatively between Jasper and Edward's POV so you are never far from knowing what the other was thinking. There are parts that that get repeated but those parts are necessary becasue you need to know the other person's side but then there are always parts where it differs and the whole story is just amazing.

So far, we are twenty-nine chapters in but it's a fairly easy read and one that you don't want to miss! Each boy goes through a bunch of stuff to get where they are now. They fight, they make up, they discover a lot about who they are individually and I am positively in love with the story as a whole.

She also has another story where she posts outtakes and stuff called Intangibilities... you don't wanna miss that either! So take some time to catch up because it's definitely worth it!

Until next week my lovelies!

xoxo

Slash Rec: Bittersweet by @mw138


Can it really be another Tuesday, already? Why, yes, yes it is! That means it’s time for another rec with our beloved Major and another gorgeous male!
This week I’m bringing you a fantastic little story by the fantabulous mw138, it’s called Bittersweet and it’s a J/E fic.
Jasper and Edward have a past but we don’t exactly know what that is. They start off communicating through e-mail and rebuilding the friendship that has obviously been damaged but the author doesn’t let us in on that for a while.
There are twists and turns in the plot and they take you to places you never knew you’d go! Then, once the fic is actually completed, she’s posted several outtakes and the entire backstory for us so we are not left with questions that are unanswered!
She’s not finished with the outtakes and Lord am I happy about that because I’m going to be so sad when this little fic of hers ends!
The chapters are short and easy to get through and I promise you’ll love it! I don’t want to give too much away but here’s the first chapter in its entirety:

Hey,

How are you doing? I'm sure you're probably shocked to hear from me, and I debated for a long time whether or not to even try to contact you, especially after all these years. I'm not even sure if this email address still works, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I hear some pretty great things have taken place in your life in the past couple of years. You're married now with a child. Wow, I'm almost speechless, but very happy for you. I'm sure you're a great father, and Isabella is a lucky woman. I'm glad things worked out for you and that you have the perfect family.

Me? Well, I'm still single, unfortunately. I guess I haven't found the right guy since we parted. It's not for lack of trying though. *wink* On the flip side, my professional life has been incredible! I recently made partner at my law firm, and I couldn't be happier…or busier.

Um, I guess I also wanted to contact you to say how sorry I am for how things ended between us. I could just say that we were young and stupid and didn't know how to handle the little bumps in our relationship, and that's probably true, but I also have a feeling that we just weren't on the same page. You wanted to settle down and have a family, while I was hell bent on making a name for myself. It looks like both of our dreams came true. There's not one thing I regret in our relationship, except losing my best friend in the end. I miss going to Flannigan's and having a beer while playing pool with you. But there's no use in crying over spilled milk.

I hope this email finds its way to you. I wish you all the happiness in the world, Edward. I really do.

Take care of yourself!

Sincerely,

Jasper

Jasper,

To say that I'm shocked to hear from you would the understatement of the year. Frankly, I never expected to hear from you ever again, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

Congratulations on making partner! I know that was a dream of yours and I'm glad it was actualized. You're a great lawyer and your firm is lucky to have you on its team. Yes, I am married and have a beautiful little girl named Alice. She's gorgeous, Jasper – the light of my life. Bella and I have made a pretty good life. She's a teacher as well. Actually, that's how we met, but I don't want to bore you with the details.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I, obviously, still use the same email address after all these years, and I could blame the delay on work or taking care of the baby, but it was none of that. Responding to you scared the shit out of me, and I didn't know what to say. For years I've thought about what I would say to you if we were ever in contact again, but when I saw your name in my inbox, my mind went blank. I just sat at my computer and couldn't force my fingers to type…

There's no need to apologize, so please don't.

I better go. I have to get ready for work, and I think I just heard Alice start to cry….actually wail is more like it.

It was good hearing from you again, Jasper.

Until next week my lovelies!
Also please check out the contest being held between The Major’s Army and The Jasper’s Darlins called the Not Your Mama’s PBJ Contest! I personally can’t wait until the entries start rolling in and I can read them! So get to writing and give me something to read and rec here!

New Recruits


I'm back to bring you some more new, wonderful stories to enjoy! Be sure not to miss any!




Bitemarks and Bloodstains by forthelongestday

Jasper/Bella

Summary: Two days in Phoenix is all it takes to make Jasper realize that mere curiosity cannot explain his obsession with the human who has so thoroughly caught Edward's attention.

Teaser:

She was just a girl, some pathetically weak human girl. On first examination there was absolutely nothing extraordinary about her. She was plain, boring; she was middle ground—and then I tasted her.

Love, understanding, compassion, and every other positive emotion I could wrap my head around flowed out of her and soared straight into me from across the cafeteria. She was irritated and a little angry, frustrated and impatient—but it was all diluted by the natural tenor of her disposition. She tasted sweet, like dripping honey drizzled over my skin.

It took her five minutes to prove me wrong, there was no way she was just some ordinary girl.


Something else by CharliDenae

Jasper/Alice

Summary: Alice would rather spend her vacation lying on the beach, but she finds herself taking riding lessons on a Wyoming ranch. Too bad she'd like to learn a little something else instead.

Teaser:

"Come on, Alice!" Bella yelled. "We're going to be late for our riding lesson!"

Alice looked at herself in the mirror and made a face as she grumbled in a mocking voice, "Come on, Alice. We're going to be late." How the hell did she let them talk her into coming here. She should be in a bathing suit laying on a beach somewhere, soaking up the sun, Margarita in hand. Not in boots and jeans at some dude ranch preparing to climb up on the back of a smelly horse.

She gathered her shoulder-length, hair into a neat ponytail. Securing it with a hairband, she opened the door and walked out into the room.

"All right, I'm as ready as I'll ever be." She muttered reluctantly in the general direction of her two best friends.

'Oh, Alice. Try to show a little enthusiasm, would you? We're on vacation!" Rosalie threw her arms out and twirled around, her thick, blonde hair flying around her and her gorgeous body filling out her jeans perfectly. "It's so beautiful here and I hear the cowboys are all really studly."

Bella snorted and she and Rosalie started laughing. When they caught their breath, Alice was standing with her hands on her hips, staring at them with distain. When they finally noticed her, they started laughing again.

Alice let out an exasperated sigh. "Why I let you guys talk me into this stuff, I'll never know." She said, shaking her head in self-disgust.

"Cause you love us! Come on, Ali." Rosalie told her, her eyes twinkling, "Let's go find us some cowboys."

"Yeehaw!" Bella hollered, followed by a chuckle as Alice reluctantly followed them out the door.



The Institute of Homosexual Research by Ephebiphobia


Jasper/Edward

Summary: Agent Edward Cullen is assigned to a new job… At an institute thatstudies gay men!

Teaser:

This is the log of Agent Edward Cullen, recorded while visiting the undisclosed Institute of Male Homosexual Research or IMHR. I was sent here to investigate it, not to screen for illegal activities as many would assume, but to determine if the institute should continue to get the same amount of government funding. The institute is top secret, and most Americans would be horrified to know that their tax dollars are going to research involving wild, different sexual activities between two men. But I was happy to be selected to do an in depth study.

IMHR is a very large underground facility that was designed for this purpose. It is hidden under Utah, somewhere no one would think to look. It is heavily funded already, and my job is to assess whether or not it is properly using its money. I will be given a private tour of the most promising studies in the facility's wings, each focusing on a different branch of study. This is my own private journal and I will be giving the higher-ups a different version of this. This is for my own enjoyment, so I will be using euphemisms I won't be using in my real report.

I am a bit ashamed about how excited I am about this excursion to a secret, homosexual, institute. It's very exciting for me, a gay, twenty five year old man, to get to see all this. This institute wasn't a place where they researched gay men but sexual acts performed by them. It is thought that it is perfectly normal to experience homosexual feelings and this facility is filled with both gay and straight men trying to prove that.



Rebel in Disguise by Invincible Goddess-Warrior

Jasper/Alice

Summary: They were the perfect couple who were destined to last forever but something evil would intervene but how can you escape the past... when it refuses to let go... it was an obsession he couldn't escape it was an attraction that would turn fatal.

Teaser:

Alice laughed joyously as she ran through the woods, chasing a deer, just for fun, not for a hunt. She turned back around and saw Jasper slowly gaining up on her. The two were just spending time in the woods, away from the family to have sometime alone together.

She finally stopped and let the tired deer run for it's life. She was suddenly whirled up in the air as she felt strong arms around her. She let out a shrill cry of joy as Jasper laughed from under her. They both fell to the ground with Jasper on top of Alice both in hysterics for no good reason at all.

"Will you marry me?" Jasper asked, taking Alice by surprise. Alice was so surprised that she felt like her heart was pounding again. Did he really just ask her that?

Her eyes widened as she realized that he really did pop the question. In a way, she knew it was bound to happen, she did see him in her future and she did see him as her husband but she didn't realize that it was this day that she would ask him to be her wife! How long had he been planning this?



And that's all for me. Have fun reading!

Shirley007 Out.
