To Jacob Black or Not to Jacob Black

When I first read Twilight, and by first I mean like the first 20 or so times I read it, I was TOTALLY Team Edward. Twilight really grabbed me emotionally and I think that's what spurred my current Twi-Addiction. So when Bella went and kissed Jacob before the newborn battle, I so wanted to smack a bitch! I had to put the book down and take a moment while I internally screamed, "You cheating whore!!". So when I found Fanfiction, I was ALL OVER the Bella/Edward fics. Could NOT get enough. Then little by little I branched into Bella/Jasper and could not get enough of those fics, from there I went to Bella/Paul and after that was pretty much a free for all...as long as Bella was one of the characters I was in. EXCEPT, for Bella/Jacob. Now, I know that I am not quite tethered as securely into reality as I should be; I'm more than a little crazy, but I could not help but really dislike Jacob for cheating with Bella on Edward. Yeah, I need medication 'cause I hold grudges against fictional characters. I have read poly Jacob stories and for some reason I didn't have a problem with him beig with Bella as long as he had to share, that's fucked up, I know. But I have finally broken my Jacob/Bella ban! I came across a story that I'd been eyeing for some time now and finally gave in and read it...

The Definition of Want by adreyii-fic is such a fucking awesome story. It's labeled as Romance/Angst and it is totally angsty but not in that "now I need to take my blood pressure meds and go kill myself" kind of way, she couples it with Jacobs personality, his witt and sarcasm perfectly.
Here's her summery: You know how Edward offered to let Bella and Jacob make puppies? And we all secretly wondered how that would go? Yeah. It's one of those. J/B. Set post-Eclipse.
At first I was holding off on reading this 'cause I thought she was already gonna be pregnant with Nessie...and I hate Nessie stories more than Jacob Black stories...so I kept debating on weather or not to read it. But it's only 11 chapters so I figured I'd at least read to see how Edward makes his proposition to Jacob... and I am so glad I did!!

Congratulations adreyii-fic, I have officially lifted my Jacob Black Ban! My family totally hates you now that there is more FFN for me to read, but that's between you and them ;-)
Go read this story, if you don't you'll be missing out on some great story telling skills. Audreyii-fic is a great writer and I cannot believe this story only has 728 reviews. I will warn you, I think this story may have made me hate Bella now...Hmmm, I am SO fickle!

So, since I lost my Jacob Black v-card I also ended up reading Zenith by Majesta Moniet. I have to say that this is another great fic that I am so glad that I decided to read; this is also an angsty fic but there isn't all that back and forth that alot of fics do. This one seems to center around Bella's healing with a supernatural plot twist.
Here's her summery: A simple choice altered. A love given room to grow. As weeks without the Cullens' return stretch by, Bella's going to discover that vampires and werewolves aren't the only things that go bump in the night.
I am gonna warn you here, the last two or three chapters you'll probably need some tissues! That may just be me because I was totally PMS'ing when I read this, but I dare you to try not to cry!

So...read these two fics and leave the authors some review love - I COMMAND YOU!!!
