Storytime With Meadow: The Mirrors




One of my favorite things to discover while searching for good fanfiction are ones with a take so unique that I'd read the story whether or not it had “Twilight” stamped all over it.

“The Mirrors” by Adorablecullens is one of these. It's a twist on modern fantasy that finds Edward forced to deny a magical world he's grown up and consequently loses himself. Bella enters to bring Edward – and the magic – back. Trust me, if you like fantasy AND the idea of a shy, geeky Edward, you'll love this story. (Oh, and there are lemons. Well placed, well-written, touching lemons.)


If you're anything like me (and I know you probably are) you've already blown your way through all of the fics I've recommended and then some. (I know, I see you recommending ones to each other before I have a chance to feature them here.) I can't tell you how excited I am to share one that I HAVEN'T seen you discussing!! So go show Geekward some love. He needs a hug.


The Mirrors, a Twilight fanfic - FanFiction.Net

I will have to check this one out. But the office is by FAR my fav.
And a good many of the ones I or my BFF have read are being pulled and made into real books. So some are THAT good.

Hey Meadow – “Story time with Meadow” is my favorite time of the week. Yes, I read everything you recommend. I have to say that “Wide Awake” is my favorite - but “The Office” is a BIG favorite too. I have read them both several times. I love Geekward - but Darkward is really HOT. Try to find one that is COMPLETE. Currently I am waiting on about 8 stories to update and it is really getting on my nerves. Don't these people know they have FANS! Just teasing, I'll try to be patient. Thank you for Story time! You guys are the BEST!

Good Morning League and Meadow!
The Mirrors? I'm wondering if I haven't read that one. It'll take me awhile to go thru my FF files. (winking @ocd)

@Tmss
thanks for your list. I'll recommend Lathering Up (winking @vampie) and The Office, which you already have. AND
Honeymoon and Black Lace. fanfiction.net. Just search too tired to find it for you. Sorry. I'm a lazy ass what can I say?

@kmoye
AMEN to the Office

@suthrngirl
Yes, it's hard to be patient with these PPL who can't seem to get it that we are WAITING for some closure. I have a ff that I've been waiting 2 months for a new chapter....*hands up in the air* and I feel so defeated. arg!

UMM
@all
Word of advice: don't act out the tree in "The List" it's not pleasant! just saying. *wink* BUT I highly recommend acting out "Lathering Up", Elevator scenes in "the office" (if u dare) and opera house coat closets are dandy to play out scenes from "H&BL"
Close one eye while reading "Submissive" but "Dominate" is sorta darkward sweet...uh sorta. I tried! (pleading look @Ocd)

I have to now go get treeward to nurse my tree injuries. CUl8r!

@Oh
welcome to tweetland, @sakixry, @vampie and I found u!

@rnutmeg
call me! (worried frown)

robin(me) said...

@nurseward
OH thank u, sweetie. u "nurse" divinely.....mmmm....now i know how u got all ur medical degrees. *yummy*

@Meadow
I am just as happy that you reviewed one we haven't discussed! Sundays are my new favorite days of the week because I always look forward to days we are actually SUPPOSED to talk about smut...er...fanfiction!!
I have not read the Mirrors, but it is in my folder currently titled:
Recommended but haven't read yet that only has about 25 ffs in!! HAHA! I will be finishing up the current chapter of the Ex Factor here in a bit (yeah, took me nearly a week to read!! THAT F**ker is L-O-N-G!!) and I will probably start on Mirrors...wasn't planning on it, but ya know I can't "not be in the loop" haha! I was a geek in HS so maybe I will enjoy geekward! Who am I kidding? I have yet to find an Edward I didn't like....yes, even Domward...BUT, only the end result, lol!!

@in(me)does this mean you won't finish Dominant or just that you still don't <3 him? LOL

Ok, now that I have fulfilled my Smut Sunday wake up call, time for breakfast! LOL! (yes, it is noon here, was up till 6 am reading that stupid Ex Factor trying to finish the last chapter until my eyes crossed and I started seeing 3 Edwards *I wish!!!*)

thur2010 said...

OMG!!!
So, i'm only on, like, chapter 9. but, omgsh! this fanfic is amazing!!
honestly, though, i think the author should just change the names and edit a bit, and, viola!, s/he will have her own book to publish! seriously, i think this story is THAT good... and it hardly relates to twilight, except for the names and some minor character traits...
so far, though, this story is awesome! i can't wait to finish it!!
