Heart and Soul by Me and Mrs Jones

Heart and Soul by Me and Mrs Jones

After watching his entire family killed and having a vampire child placed in his care, Edward and Alice live a life a solitude. Vampire children are not permitted in their world and if the Volturi find out, both of them would most likely be destroyed. With the help of Jasper, Edward keeps a careful eye on the little vampire, but something has to give. She can't remain locked away from the world for all eternity and she needs to come in contact with humans to build up a tolerance.

Edward decides to seek refuge in Forks amongst the Quileute tribe, knowing that if the Volturi show up, they may have a fighting chance. Obviously the pack is apprehensive, but Jacob makes it clear that only Edward, Jasper and Alice may stay in the area. In the midst of this meeting between enemies, Jacob's beta, Seth, imprints on Edward. Neither knows what to make of the connection, but realize  they have to be around each other. Will the pack be able to keep little Alice safe and will Edward and Seth, natural enemies, be able to overcome their differences and be together?

Even though the story is still in its early stages (at the time of this post), Me and Mrs Jones has packed the chapters with a wealth of exposition and plot. Heart and Soul looks like it's going to be a story filled with tension, twists and turns and the development of a sweet romance. I can't wait! :)

Blue Notes by karenec

Blue Notes by karenec - COMPLETE

Edward and Seth are completely enamored with each other. Their love is strong, but unfortunately not strong enough to convince Seth to come out of the closet. He asks Edward to hide their relationship and at first he's fine with it, but after a while the secrecy starts to wear thin. Not wanting to lose the love of his life, but at the same time, not wanting to live a life of only being able to express his love behind closed doors, Edward must make a difficult decision.

Seth is one of my favorite Twilight characters, so it was refreshing to see him portrayed as flawed, scared and indecisive. Usually he's bubbly and perpetually happy, which is great, but seeing this different side was nice for a change.  If you want to read a story about two complex characters who really have to look within themselves to find peace of mind, acceptance and happiness, check out Blue Notes!

Once We Were Kings by sweetp-1

Even though they're mortal enemies, Edward and Seth develop a cautious friendship after being paired together in biology class. After learning more about each other and hanging out on a regular basis, their feelings change from platonic to passionate and romantic. However, their happiness is short lived when Seth imprints...on girl.

This story put me through a roller coaster of emotions. One minute I was happy and warmed by the love that Edward and Seth shared and the next my heart felt like it was being ripped in two. Originally a one shot, I was apprehensive about reading the continuation, fearing even more heartache, but I'm so glad I took a chance.

Once We Were Kings is angst at its finest and sweetp-1 does and wonderful job conveying the characters' feelings so realistically that I actually felt their pain, joy, frustration and anger. I desperately rooted for Edward and Seth's HEA even when it didn't seem feasible. Please take a few moments and read this rather painful, yet beautiful story.

Never Who You Think You Are by SweetMoi

Never Who You Think You Are by SweetMoi - COMPLETE

As a young teenager, Seth always admired his older sister's friend, Edward. He was popular, charming and knew exactly what he wanted in life. Years later, Seth returns home and runs into his former hero and crush in the most unexpected of places. Still enamored with the thought of Edward, Seth ignores everyone, including the man who loves him, in order to spend time with his hero. Unfortunately, things aren't always what they seem and Seth learns the hard way that his childhood crush is a completely different person than the one he knew so many years before.

I couldn't help but become engrossed in this story. Collaborators sweetp-1 and faite-comme-moi created characters that had me glued to my computer wondering what would happen next. Edward is not a very likable character, and on more than one occasion I wanted to shake Seth for being so stupid, naive and careless. I think the stand out character in this story is Riley. However, if you want to know more about him and how he fits into this tale, read this one shot! You won't be disappointed!

The Whipping Boy by Fr333bird & Beckybrit

Edward watches helplessly as Marcus viciously whips and tortures his friend, Seth, seeking information about the whereabouts of his daughter. Even though it pains him to see his friend hurt, he cannot and will not give up his daughter. She is the only piece of Bella that Edward has left after she was killed during the battle with the Volturi. Seth is willing to do whatever it takes to protect Edward because his feelings run much deeper. In his grief, will Edward be able to see beyond his friendship with the young wolf and the love behind Seth's actions?

When I first read this story last year, I immediately fell in love with it. There are many, many fanfic stories that I love, but this one seemed to resonate with me in a way that others haven't. The selfless love that Seth felt for Edward and their mutual admiration is beautiful, even amongst the ugliness they endure at the hands of Marcus and the Volturi guards. This story is just plain good and I would highly encourage all slash lovers to give it a shot.
