The Castles of  Westeros

Back in time with Edward

Напоследък ме втресло на тема исторически фикове. Влече си ме и това е, няма оправия. За изгубена роматична душа като мен това винаги е било някак привлекателно, принцове, принцеси, рицари, изгубени кърпички, откраднати целувки и гълъби прелитащи от кула в кула. Ако можех да живея в друго време бих избрала Средновековието. Според някои ако съм дама благородна или принцеса, ще умра от студ и ревматизъм в някой замък на край света, да не говорим за брадатото мръсно нещо наречено мъж, за което са щели да ме омъжат хаха … Ако пък недай си Боже се преродя в селянка феодална, по-добре е да си омитам крушите обратно в 21 век хахах Но все пак има нещо изключително привлекателно за мен в онази изгубена епоха..

My Viking  е един от любимите ми фикове. Изключително прецизен исторически, не се съмнявайте, че  ще имате възможността да научите нещо интересно за живота, бита и хравите на викингите.  Имената са адаптирани, така че няма да попаднете на Едуард през 9 век, а на Едвард. Авторката е изключително мила датчанка, пише страхотно, интересно и завладяващо. Ъпдейтите се бавят доста поради натовареността в личния живот на момичето, така е тук се подхожда с търпение и вярвайте ми струва си.

Действието се развива през 9-10 век. Бела е отвлечена от анлийските брегове и е поднесена като дар на племенния вожд Едвард. Определена е за негова наложница, рейтингът е М все пак В началото има сблъсък на религии, нрави, морал, характери, в крайна сметка нещата се успокояват донякъде и започват истинските премеждия, намесват се странични хора, странни обстоятелства и интригата се завързва….

 ******* “My brother was right to choose you for me. You are a rare dark beauty,” he said pensively. “And yet your skin is the color of fresh milk. Tell me, are you ill?”
I frowned and shook my head. I knew that my skin was very fair but where I was from it was considered pretty, not a sign of illness.
“Smile,” he said next.
Whatever for?
“Smile,” he said again and raised his eyebrows in challenge.
I sneered at him for I had no reason to smile.
“You can do better than that, I am sure,” he said. “But at least you have all of your teeth.”
He laughed quietly at the look of shock that came upon my face. I felt as though I were an animal being appraised for auctioning.
“I wish to see the rest of you. Remove your dress,” he said and touched the neckline.
I gasped and tried to move away from him but he grasped my shoulders and held me in place.
“Do not run from me, woman,” he warned
I felt my knees shake underneath me as I prepared for his hand to strike out at me. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“My brother informs me that they found you at the abbey. Are you untouched?”
I did not want to answer his rude inquiry and remained silent.
“Are you mute or simply feeble, serf?” he growled. “You will answer my question. NOW!”
“It is none of your concern,” I hissed at him and tried to struggle out of his grasp again. “Unhand me, you filthy heathen!”
He did not let go but his eyes sparked with mirth and he laughed.
“And to think that I just bathed,” he said, and continued: “You are my property and therefore anything regarding you concerns me. I will find out so you may as well be truthful. Have you been bedded?”
“Yes,” I nodded my head, hoping that this would make me less appealing to him

2. Unexpected circumstances by Savage  

When a knight from another kingdom wins his choice of bride, he claims the handmaid instead of the princess. Isabella finds herself married and tossed into the middle of political schemes. What happens when she can’t give him the one thing he must have?

Един от най-обичаните и мразени фикове към момента във Fandom-a Историята е на такъв етап, че не се вижда абсолютно никакъв изход от положението, става от лошо по-лошо и лично на мен ми е адски интересно как Савидж ще извърти нещата.

Принцът решава да се държи като разглезено дете и многознайко и прави напук. Печели турнир и вместо да вземе  принцесата, той се възползва от даденото  му право на избор и взема за жена нейната слугиня. Примрялата девойка Изабела бива бракува за отрицателно време и потегля за далечното царство Форкс. Следват куп излагации, гафове и изблици на гняв. В крайна сметка гневът отстъпва място на лимонатата. Принцът и девойката заживяват щастливо, само дето нямат наследници, губят война и са на път да изгубят много повече от това.

Фикът в никакъв случай не е комедия, просто, аз имам такъв маниер на преразказ :Р Исторически неточен, ама никак. В началото адски дразни, после забравяш и дори се чудиш защо нямат лаптоп. Имената са неадаптирани, което е друг повод за смях и неприятен привкус, но и това отминава. Ъпдейтва се редовно, веднъж на 2 седмици през уикенда. Лично аз съм пристрастена до краен предел. В темата за фика са се хванали за косите, а ако има падне Савидж на този етап сигурно ще я линичуват. Страстите са горещи точно както е във фика. Да не забравяме, че откъс от въпросният фик беше четен от Майкъл Шийн (Аро) по VH1, уникално забавно.

Малко откъсЧе

“Actually, I would think you might want to sleep in my bed this night,” Edward said with a chuckle. “Otherwise, you would be stuck with the floor, and it’s getting cold.”
“I can sleep on the floor, my lord,” I told him. “I have before.”
“Isabella,” Sir Edward’s voice turned harsh, causing me to flinch slightly. “My dogs don’t sleep on the floor. You are my wife, and I will care for you the way you deserve.”
“I’m sorry, my lord.” It was apparent the idea was not one to his liking.
“Isabella,” he repeated. “We are wed. How long do you plan on addressing me by my title?”
“But you are a lord, my lord…heir to the throne. How else should I address you?”
“When we are alone, you may address me with my given name,” he said. “In public, I normally prefer Sir Edward over lord, but…actually…”
He paused, his thumb grazing my cheekbone.
“I think I rather like hearing you call me ‘lord.’” His quiet laughter filled my ears.
“Whichever you wish, my…Edward.” I just barely caught myself, but he smiled and seemed pleased.
“Hmm…” Sir Edward laughed again and shook his head, still contemplating. “I wonder why that is?”

3. The Second Son of a Duke by For3ver Immortal 

Completely alternate universe. No vampires, but lots of Edward and Bella. Lord Edward is the second son of a duke and on one mistaken night, his fate and the fate of a Viscount’s daughter is forever intertwined. Set in 19th century London.

По принцип избягвам да чета фикове с толкова малко ревюта, не че ЕП не е започнал с 1 ревю, но е факт че не обичам да го правя. За това фик бях чела страшно много из ФБ групите на фикаджийките, колко е интересен, колко прекрасен и т.н. Отделно се оплюваше много граматически неиздържаният текст. Казах си, че не съм филолог и ще се “жертвам”.

В крайна сметка, хората бяха прави за всичко. Девойката нарежда запетаите точно както бих ги напляскала и аз ама в български текст ( не че не се затруднявам къде точно да ги слагам в английските текстове). Чак мен ме издразни граматиката, а не й разбирам кой знае колко. Основното е, че изреченията не прекъсват, където е редно и запетаите са на килограм. Ако преживеете първите 4-5 глави става по-добре след това, явно е взета бета и нещата тръгват по-гладко.

Действието се развива 1825 година, Лондон. Бела иска да се омъжи за Джейкъб, родителите й не й позволяват. Решават да консумират връзката си на едно тържество и по този начин да бъдат бракувани насила, с цел избягване на скандала. В крайна сметка Бела има настинка, пие лекарство и се омагьосва. Дава бележка с местоположението на стаята си на един слуга, той я доставя на друго лице. На сутринта Бела е обезчестена, но от грешния субект. Едуард потърква доволно очи, предполагайки че е прекарал нощта с нова куртизанка. В края на деня двамата са сгодени и до месец (мисля, че беше горе долу толкова) ги женят. Едуард първи се примирява и даже е доволен от така стеклите се обстоятелства, Бела от друга страна крои планове за бягство.

Ъпдейтва се рядко, горе-долу веднъж месечно.

Фаталната сутрин***

His lean but muscular arms searched the bedside next to him which came up empty and he opened his eyes. They were the most magnificent pools of green eyes Bella had ever seen. Like emeralds beneath a shallow pool of clear water. His smile warmed her, but his question snapped her back to reality.
“Weren’t you blond?” He asked. Then, “It’s okay, I prefer brunettes.”
Bella shyly gripped the sheets against her chest and asked in a cracked voice, “W-Who are you?”
When he didn’t answer, she pressed, “Why are you in my room?”
“You sent me a note, love. What’s wrong? I had a very pleasant night,” He said reaching for her.
She recoiled, “I didn’t send you anything. I don’t even know you!”
His confused gaze settled on the bloodstain on the sheets.
“Why is there blood on the sheets? Are you hurt?” He asked genuinely concerned as he looked her over from where he sat.
“I…um…you…We-” Bella was furious at herself for blushing.
Now, it was his turn to recoil.
“Oh, hell! Don’t tell me a courtesan such as you somehow remained a virgin. I won’t believe it,” He said eyeing her warily.
“I am a virgin! Was a virgin,” Bella cried.

Blood, blood it’s all about blood… Vampward is coming and your blood is precious

And with Thee Fade Away

by Derdriu oFaolain

On her first day of school, Bella stands up to Edward: Forks’ own psychotic jerk. Little does she know, Edward is a centuries-old Englishman with a taste for human blood. Will they fall in love, or kill each other first? Rated M for violence.

“So, you call yourself Bella, I hear,” he continued, apparently unconcerned by her efforts to ignore him. “Bella Swan. How very suitable. Not every day does one meet a girl named after the ugly duckling.”

With that comment, she’d had enough. She snapped her head back to him, staring directly into his eyes. “Not every day does one meet a self-satisfied jackass who apparently isn’t gifted enough to maneuver a comb through his hair, let alone his own fat yap through an actual conversation.”

“You’re so genteel, Ducky. Charming.” He said the last word very slowly, allowing the corners of his mouth to curve upward ever so slightly. It was a provoking gesture, and it took a great deal of restraint for Bella to resist jabbing her pen into his eye. She gritted her teeth and stared at the chalkboard.

“And so easy to anger. I like you, Bella. I find you remarkably entertaining.” He pulled his chair toward hers with a seamless ease and leaned forward so that his lips were just a few millimeters above her ear. His cold breath stirred the hairs on the back of her neck. “Let’s be friends.” He whispered the phrase so that it was barely audible. Bella could feel the smile in his voice.

“In your dreams, Eddie,” she hissed, and then attempted to push away his arm, which was resting on the table in front of her like a barrier fencing her in. But when she hit his forearm, it felt like she had rammed the heel of her hand into a lead brick. Cold and stationary, Edward’s arm remained completely unaffected by Bella’s strike. Her own hand throbbed with pain.

Edward’s eyes peered down at her, without his head changing position at all. He didn’t move his arm, or any other part of his body—a perfect image of serenity. “Do… not… touch… me,” he said, his voice as cold as his skin. Each word was punctuated by a threatening silence that made the hairs on her arms prickle.

******

Много остроумен, плашещ, арогантен и аристократичен Едуард. 200 годишен вампир от Манчестър, подвизаващ се в гимназия Форкс. Убийства, странна интерпритация на семейство Кълън, неочакван край.

Добре написано, изключителна наслада за окото. Обичам да чета добре написани, оригинални фикове

Grasping Darkness

by Kiya Raven

A dark angel visits Bella Swan in her dreams, filling her with lust and unparalleled pleasure, but what happens when the line between fantasy and reality starts to blur? Rated M for language & dark themes.

Her.

Her blood. Her body.

I needed her. Every part of her.

I needed to consume and possess her. I needed it more than I’d needed anything else in my entire life.

I laughed bitterly as I realized I had gotten what I had been wishing for so long. I had found purpose in my life again, and apparently it was the destruction of an innocent human girl named Isabella.

An explosion of fury bloomed inside me as I thought about her.

What right did she have to come here and ruin what little peace I had constructed for myself? How dare she demolish all of my years of desperate denial just by ‘being’. Goddamn her for transforming my already uncomfortable existence into a world of primal, gut-wrenching torture.

A tidal wave of hatred for the girl engulfed me, making my muscles quake and my fists clench. I strode over to a nearby boulder and pulverized it in a violent frenzy of frustration.

Damn it all to hell!

Еди тук е толкова horny,  че свят да ти се завие. Има кръв има секс, мнооого секс. Кия ги завъртя пак неочаквано към края, чакаме финала. Дълги глави и много секс.

Лично аз съм фенка на Кия още от The Screamers, сещате се нали..Рок-звездата и бездомната Бела, това беше epic lol

In Vain

by Bratty-Vamp

Bella is a girl who desperately wants control over her own life. Edward is a Volturi guard who is accustomed to being in a position of power and control. Together they struggle with a force that neither of them have any control over, whatsoever. OOC, AU

******

Бела живее по правила, забранява й се да се излага на слънце, да подстригва косата си, да ходи по срещи, да прави каквото желае. Живее като модерната версия на затворник в златна клетка, защо и докога не се знае. В момента, в който среща Джаспър и решава да бъде нормална тийнейджърка, незабвно бива изпратена в Италия. И се започва… Едуард е самовлюбен и раздразнителен вампир, Бела съставя всеки ден план как да го предизвика. Краят е абсолютно неочакван. Кратки глави, чете се бързо. Много добър поне за мен

Toye

Vampires like to play with their food. A campy and kitschy horror short-story that lets the men of the Cullen household be the monsters that Edward always claimed they were. Extremely OOC.

Много е различен този фик. Кратък, жесток и поне за мен с предвидим край. Различен и затова си струва да му се отдели малко време.

Abbracciare il Cantante

What if Edward left Forks after his first encounter with Bella, and he never returned? Fate couldn’t keep these two apart. But meeting at a later time and place might have changed the nature of their relationship.
