 Title: The Art of Self Deception
Author: Silver Pard
Rating: K+
Length: 2284
Status: Complete
Summary: She makes lists and burns them, as if that means they never existed.
Reccer's comments: An almost lyrical analysis of Bella's thoughts and her justification on her so called "love". Beautifully written and really makes you think.

Title: moves in mysterious ways
Author: Lisse
Rating: K+
Length: 5328
Status: Complete
Summary: Sometimes the prey evolves, or at least learns how to issue restraining orders. Metafic.
Reccer's comments: How a normal sensible person would react to being stalked by a vampire. My favourite thing about this fic is that there is a relationship between the characters and that it is not romantic at all. A wonderfully written story that made me smile.

Seconding these to hell and back. I *love* 'moves in mysterious ways' - it's one of my favourite antifics.

The Art of Self Deception: This was good, very good. I loved how in-character it was without being ridiculous. It effectively explores the ramifications of Bella's choices, using Dracula as a counterweight.

moves in mysterious ways: This was wonderful. I loved how is was a pointedly non-romantic story. And "he ought to be taking notes, but he hates English homework and hates Shakespeare too and anyway biting your thumb is a stupid insult and the Montagues and Capulets need to grow the hell up and learn conflict management skills" just cracked me up.

Thanks for reccing these!
