Title: THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH
Category:
The Glass Slipper (Best HEA)

Author: JEESIECHREESIE
BEST ENDING EVER. I'd call that a HEA for the darkside ;) RECOMMENDED by Sweetp-1 and Lambcullen



Title: TOYE
Category: Bloody Brilliant (Best Overall) and I Like to Play With My Food (Best DarkVamp)

Author: BRATTY-VAMP

Suspense, gore, and one of the most memorable Darkwards ever. "Vampires like to play with their food" -RECOMMENDED by Sweetp-1 and Dihenydd





Title: JUST ONE MORE THING YOU WANT TO END
Category:
The Glass Slipper (Best HEA) and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Sparkly (Best AU)
Author: HUMANSHIELD

This is how Twilight should have ended. Told from EPOV but using his unique ability to gain insight from Alice and Jasper, this is so much better than canon. RECOMMENDED by dihenydd




Title: PREY
A faultlessly realised alternate take on canon where Edward is a powerful member of the Volturi enforcers. Although still 'vegetarian' he meets his singer while she is still a child and sets in motion a chain of events that will ultimately restructure the world for vampires, shapeshifters and those humans in the know. This is a story about the powerful, though not always welcome bond between Edward and Bella and is also an intricate political thriller. RECOMMENDED by dihenydd



Title: HER OWN PARTICULAR SHADE OF EBONY
Category:
Bloody Brilliant (Best Overall) and The Poisoned Apple (Best Angst)
Author: LADYINGREY42

Jasper's vampire senses and crimson eyes set him apart. His ability to pull back the veil of the world and taste emotions like colors makes him alone. Until he encounters a human girl whose darkness is the most intense shade of ebony he's ever known.

This dark and tormented story gave me chills through the entire reading. It's filled with angst, pain, and misery painted with a pallet of gloriously bruised colours. Alice wants release through death and wears her scars like bracelets to remind her of her failures. Darksper, an incubus of sorts, is an artist of emotions that feeds off of her suffering and the beauty it creates for him. This has one of the most sensuous non-lemons filled with blood, venom, and sexual lust that I have ever read. Against canon, Darksper gives in to his own selfishness and refuses to give Alice what she begs of him... until finally... that is for you, the reader, to discover... this is truly a painfully bleak and miserable tale, the kind that I truly love and adore that twists at your heart... RECOMMENDED by Maleficentknits

Title: CARPE NOCTEM & FIAT LUX
Category:
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Sparkly (Best AU)
Author:
QUEENOFGREY
Told partly in letters of excruciating beauty, this is a story of bloodlust so all consuming it resembles madness and how it is overcome by something even stronger. This is one of my favorite endings ever.




Title:THE DARKEST EVENING
Category:Just Like Stephenie Used to Make (Best Canon)
Author: C. ANNA CULLEN

"Before Bella, Edward's life was like a moonless night. This is the story of the demons that haunted him in the darkness."

Ever wondered what Edward got up to when he left Carlisle and Esme in his rebellious years? If so then this is the story for you. Edward fights against his natural instincts so he can live like Carlisle and Esme but situations arise that lead him to the dark side and he gives in to the monster within. Along the way he meets more monsters and his struggle to come to terms with what he is and what he has done to his 'family' provides angst galore. This darkward is utterly fantastic and the story is written better than canon. RECOMMENDED by IrishTwiFicster

The initials are WoW ... and that's what this fic is! Yellowglue has a way of making this fic crawl under your skin until you're feeling every single thing the characters are. Her words are pure poetry which make this Darkward utterly delicious. RECOMMENDED by Lambcullen


Title: ROSE LIKE THUNDER
Category:
Fangbanged (Best Smut)
Author:
YELLOWGLUE
This is the EPOV version of The Worst of Weather, where we find that Snideward may not be quite as Bella sees him. He is however still detached and mean, his motivations are just clearer. This is someof the most erotic and passionate prose you are ever likely to read. It drags you into the mind of an obsessive trying to do what is right and often getting it wrong.
Bella is a Domme with such stringent requirements for her Subs that they don't hang around long. Enter Edward aka 'Icefinger'. He chooses as their first scene a scenario where he plays a vampire who has been loveless for over a century. He is very thorough in his portrayal, right down to the pile of journals that describe his search for sexual fulfillment through the decades. So thorough that Bella cannot help but think he is delusional. This has moments of tenderness and eroticism as well as humor that balance flawlessly. RECOMMENDED by dihenydd



Title:UNDERNEATH
Category: The Rainbow Connection (Best Slash)
Author: NEWSODARK
When I was trying to think of a dark vamp-slash story Underneath immediately came to mind. This is a captivating story that manages to create a dark and moody atmosphere without resorting to sadistic or cruel characterizations. When something horrific happens to Jacob, a common enemy brings him closer to Edward, whether they like it or not. RECOMMENDED by Sweetp-1


Title: DARK POSSESSION
Category:
Fangbanged (Best Smut) and Dead & Loving It (Best Human to Vampire Transition)
Author:
LAMBCULLEN
An Edward true to his Vampire nature, arrogant and completely unrepentent. He has his own reasons for turning Bella but they have nothing to do with her wishes and everything to do with satisfying his needs - all of them. This is edgy and incredibly erotic. RECOMMENDED by dihenydd



Title: ULTIO
Category:
I Like to Play With My Food (Best DarkVamp) and The Poisoned Apple (Best Angst)
Author: MAC214 and 22BLUE

Darkness comes in many forms and Ultio's Edward has them all (and then some). RECOMMENDED by Sweetp-1

I have to recci this. Every single person that likes dark should read it. Edward is sinister, unrelenting and adamant in his revenge. The guy gives me chills, and that's because he is so well written! RECOMMENDED BY Lambcullen



Title: BREAKING THE GIRL
Category:
It’s So Wrong, It Has to Be Right (Best Non-Canon Pairing)
Author: SWILL122

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5827824/1/Breaking_the_Girl
An intriguingly dark and edgy one-shot which features a Leah/Felix pairing. RECOMMENDED by Sweetp-1




Title: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
Category:
The Glass Slipper (Best HEA)
Author: SHALU

Who is in control? Jasper thinks he has settled into his existence, but Alice brings an earthquake of doubt to crack his foundation.
The first time I read this story, I felt it went against canon; how can Darksper deny Alice anything? How can he push her away? Part of me was angry at that but then I realized, his struggling with himself and his natural desires, denying her, was canon. Darksper has kept her waiting. He cannot deny his love and desire for her and, even though it seems as if he saves her, in reality, Alice saves him from himself and shows him that he is worth loving. RECOMMENDED by Maleficentknits



Title: LOVE IN THE MIRROR ROOM
Category:
It’s So Wrong, It Has to Be Right (Best Non-Canon Pairing)
Author: FORBIDDENKISSES

James ends up wanting to keep Bella for himself and whisks her away before the Cullens come to save her.



Title: BATHED IN THE MOON
Category:
Bite me. No, really…bite me. (Character I’d Like to Bite Me)
Author: TRANQUILKALE

Waking up in the hotel, Bella stumbles across Jasper and Alice in the throes of passion. M for a reason sexual situations. Jasper/Alice is the pairing

When it comes to vampires, biting and feeding on blood goes hand in hand with sex and lust. Most of us always know in our hearts that Jasper will do anything for his Alice. I have always believed that their sexual relationship involves blood and Alice will do anything for her husband and lover. Here we have Bella spying on my favourite couple in that Phoenix hotel room ~ a seriously hot and intimate scene that would make you want to be bitten by Jasper as well. RECOMMENDED by Maleficentknits







Title: THE HUNTER
Category:
I Like to Play With My Food (Best DarkVamp)
Author:
KAYBEBABY

But it’s not really either Bella nor Edward! It is the vampire Almos posing as Robert Pattinson playing Edward Cullen in the movie adaptation of twilight opposite Kristen Stewart playing Bella. The story is finished and I love it. Very dark, very vampire lore. AND it doesn’t have a happy ending, although he does sort of redeem himself… sort of.

See I suck! But yeah, I’d definitely nominate her if you can make it fit in any category! RECOMMENDED by LeeCullen
