Always the Best Man by Water_Nix

Always the Best Man by Water_Nix

Weddings. For most people they're wonderful occasions full of celebrating and fun. However, for Kurt and his rag tag group of friends, they're opportunities to make fun of the guests and get as drunk as possible. Due to his less than stellar relationship history, Kurt doesn't really believe in all that "death do us part" mumbo jumbo. As long as he has his friends by his side, especially Blaine, he'll be just fine.

This Glee version of Four Weddings and a Funeral (without the funeral) was a sweet read that I really enjoyed. All of your favorite Glee characters are there to bring the laughs and the relationship between Kurt and Blaine will really melt your heart.

Nights Become Days by reginalds

Nights Become Days by reginalds

Agron is a working actor, but is unfulfilled career-wise. He's currently working on a silly soap opera, but his character has just been killed off. Frustrated and annoyed, Agron's at a crossroads in his career. He can follow his dreams of being on stage in a role he can really sink his teeth into, or he can continue to be eye candy on ridiculous soap operas.

When he meets an enigmatic DJ at a bar, he's set on making the sexy and charming man his. However, Nasir knows that good sex and a great relationship isn't enough to bring Agron true happiness. Will Agron be able to fulfill his career goals and romantic interests? Read to find out!

I really enjoyed this one shot. The chemistry between Nasir and Agron, as always, is electric and I loved watching their relationship unfold. The turning point definitely hurt, but was needed in order to make their relationship stronger. I highly suggest this wonderful story. You won't be disappointed!

Agron the Douchebag by stuckinlondon

Agron the Douchebag by stuckinlondon

Every time Nasir is in Agron's presence, the guy consistently manages to stick his foot in his mouth, offend and/or mortify Nasir. He's not someone Nasir ever wants to associate with, but the brute always manages to show up. Will Agron be able to redeem himself in Nasir's eyes or will he always just be a douche bag?

This story is hilarious! The opposites attract premise is quite fun and you'll find yourself cringing and chuckling at all the stupid situations Agron manages to get himself into. I highly recommend this delightfully sweet story!

Of a Different Feather by stormcin

Of a Different Feather by stormcin

While on his way to meet his boyfriend, Jacob notices the stark contrast between himself and Edward...beyond the fact that Edward is undead and he's a wolf shapeshifter.

Very short, but very sweet, stormcin manages to pack a lot of emotion into approximately 700 words. The doubt, uncertainty and self-consciousness Jacob experiences were described wonderfully and really made me feel for the guy.

Falling by peloquine

Falling by peloquine

Nasir, a new physician in the E.R., is both enchanted by and afraid for a patient who pays regular visits to the hospital due to his propensity for injury. Watch how their love story unfolds.

This story is so adorable! Imagining Agron, goofy, hopped on morphine and shamelessly flirting with Nasir, brought a huge smile to my face and made me say "aww". Definitely check out this fluffly one shot inspired by this prompt and gif set. :)

Run to You by TwiSagaLover

Run to You by TwiSagaLover

After another trying dinner with his parents, who feel he should settle down with a nice girl and have a family, Carlisle finds himself wandering aimlessly through town, lost in his thoughts, and ends up in a tattoo shop. He is completely enamored by the young tattoo artist with a mischievous smirk and a penchant for chewing on his bottom lip. Drawn to the man and his work, Carlisle is soon in the tattoo chair having ink embedded in his skin...and Edward embedded in soul.

This is a nice, uncomplicated one-shot that was a fun read. I do wish that some plot points and characters had been fleshed out more, particularly Jake, whose back story deserved a little more exposition, but all in all it was a pleasant story that could definitely use a sequel. ;)

Tempest by MsNJS

Tempest by MsNJS

The responsibilities of life have caused a rift in Agron and Nasir's marriage. Issues that are not resolved and resentment lead to an unthinkable and, for Agron, an unforgivable act. Will he be able to move past the pain and disbelief? Will Nasir obtain forgiveness and have the opportunity to explain himself?

Oh. My. Goodness!!! I just happened across this story one day while searching for Agron/Nasir fics on AO3. It had no summary, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I became so engrossed in the story that I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning just to finish it. I have to warn you that it is heavy on the angst; I could literally feel the pain, confusion and resentment each man experienced. I highly recommend this emotional roller coaster of a story! It's incredible and I know that you won't be disappointed!

This Boy by naelany

This Boy by naelany

Edward's life since his break up with Jasper has been a shambles. When he sees the man who still holds his heart at a club one evening, part of him wants to run to Jasper and hold him forever, but the other part is paralyzed with pain because Jasper is in the arms of another.

I read this story a long time ago and discovered it again while perusing my favorites folder. naelany, who always brings realistic and raw emotion to her writing, did an incredible job portraying the uncertainty and love between the MCs. If you're a fan of naelany's writing, especially the epic story Marked, you won't want to miss out on this one!

Taking What Is Mine by mamdmc


While preparing to fight the newborn army Victoria sent to destroy Bella and the Cullen coven, Jasper feels unexpectedly drawn to the enemy. He doesn't care who he is, or what side he fights for...he will have him.

When I first read this story, I was initially intrigued by the pairing. Jasper and Riley are two of my favorite Twilight characters (my other favorite, Seth, even makes a brief cameo), but you don't see them paired together very often in slash fanfiction. Needless to say, this fic pleasantly surprised me from start to finish. I won't give too much of the storyline away because it is something you should experience yourself. If you're looking for a story that is not only attention-grabbing, but will have you on the edge of your seat, Taking What Is Mine is one you should check out!

Things Under Your Skin by peloquine

Things Under Your Skin by peloquine

To commemorate quitting his job and focusing solely on his art career, Nasir decides to get a tattoo. This will be his first, but his nerves are compounded by the sinfully sexy giant of a man who greets him at the tattoo shop. Later revealed to be the brother of his tattoo artist, Nasir finds Agron's presence both distracting, endearing and hot as hell. Agron, however, is determined to do whatever is possible to enchant the nervous man sitting in the tattoo chair and make him his forever.

This has to be one of the most adorable Nagron stories ever! How can you go wrong with a nervous, yet adorable Nasir, tattoos and a shirtless, sweaty Agron? The interactions between Duro, Nasir and Agron are quite humorous, and peloquine's detailed descriptions of their tattoos may make you want to go out and get one yourself. Having been in the tattoo chair a few times myself, I appreciated peloquine's very realistic narration of the tattoo process from the nerves you feel while watching the tattoo artist prepare his/her station to the almost addictive quality of the pain. Give this story a shot. I know you will enjoy every moment!

Communal Living by PolkaDotMama

Communal Living by PolkaDotMama

Living in a sexually and judgment-free commune is the best life for Jasper. He helps the planet by living self-sustained and off the grid, but he also has the opportunity to explore his sexuality without the threat of pain, violence or fear. When new resident, Edward, moves in, Jasper is determined to have him. However, Edward's sexual repression and skittishness confuses, yet intrigues him. Will he be able to break down Edward's walls?

This story is so interesting. It not only has steamy hot scenes, but there is a lot of emotion as well. I know you'll enjoy seeing Edward come into his own and accept that his sexuality isn't something to be hidden away. Peripheral characters, Emmett and Carlisle, also play a pretty important role in Edward's growth. This is a great story that you should definitely check out!

My Friend by lindachiqa


My Friend by lindachiqa

Edward and Jasper meet one day in the sandbox. Even though Edward is very particular about who he plays with, he seems to make a connection with the little blond boy who is full of energy. As the two boys grow, their bond strengthens into something truly wonderful.

This story is so cute! It's in its early stages right now, so we're only getting glimpses of Edward and Jasper as children. However, from the summary it seems that readers will be there each step of the way as Edward and Jasper grow up and closer to one another. I can't wait to see what happens!

War is Where the Heart Is by peloquine

War is Where the Heart Is by peloquine

Agron has been returned to Nasir's arms after leaving him behind for battle. Will he be able to gain forgiveness from the man he loves most in the world, or will he be doomed to living out the rest of his days in regret and longing?

This story is filled to the brim with angst, but it gives a realistic view of the change in Agron and Nasir's relationship after Agron's return as a bruised and broken warrior. My heart broke for both Nasir and Agron, but the natural progression towards forgiveness is nice to watch. Definitely give this story a try! It's truly wonderful.
