A long time ago I realized I've never recommended anything by
ophelietta, which is insane because she's definitely one of my favorite Twilight fic writers, and here I am finally getting around to doing it. She's moved on from Twilight and doesn't write for this fandom anymore, which means I'll have to continue to rave about her stories for a long time so that newcomers to the fandom don't miss out on her work.
This one hauntingly portrays one of the most tragic possibilities of the alternate ways Bella's story could have ended, all presented in the helpless outside point of view of Jacob which makes it that much more heartbreaking. What I like a lot about this fic is it doesn't treat the reader like an idiot and easily explain everything that's going on. I remember when I first read it, I actually had to think twice about some parts of it to understand what exactly it was implying had happened or was happening, and that made it especially effective and disturbing when I got it.

"I Want the Ocean" - A very moving Leah/Sam/Emily fic that depicts Sam and Leah's relationship before it was destroyed in a very sympathetic and believable way that also happens to be scarily similar to how I always imagined them.
