Five Times Bella Swan Kissed the Wrong Guy by nekare (PG-13)
Hi all! I'm your Lit Recs driver this month -- and we're doing the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (fondly known as Smeyer).
I'm a pretty intense Jacob/Bella shipper, so that's going to be the majority of fics this month, but I read tons of UC fic, and basically you have a chance of seeing any ship this month as long as it's not Edward/Bella or Jasper/Alice or Emmett/Rosalie or Carlisle/Esme. Because the vamp ships are boring because the characters are boring. Though I may post some Edward/Rosalie, because that's always fun.
Thus, let us begin!
Fandom: TWILIGHT
Pairing: Jacob/Bella, Bella/Others
Length: 2100 words

Why this must be read:
I think I have to begin with this fic because it so encompasses everything I love about my ship. It's humorous, and painful, and pretty, and an emotional journey above all things. It's about Bella finding her way and losing it and finding it again, and that's what Jacob/Bella is about. Thinking you have your life in a need and tidy order, happy and human and in love, and then you realize that what you had isn't all it's cracked up to be, and there's something better waiting, still waiting, at the end of the day.
That's what this is about. And, yes, it's also about various ships and things like that, but the point of it all is that Jacob is circular, he's in this fic twice, and, as it turns out, he's not the wrong guy, he's just the guy Bella said was wrong until one day she realized he was just right. I have read this fic many times -- perhaps too many. It is an old fic, really, back before the Twilight fandom seemed to quadruple in size, back before fics I classify as Classic got buried beneath newcomers. But it remains one of my favorites. Every time I read it, I am full of the flail that reminds me just how fabulous my ship is, even if Smeyer doesn't see it.
And end rant. Have an
You’ve forgotten all about trying to flirt, but Jacob still slides along the wood until he’s right beside you and he keeps smiling in that broad, open way you immediately like. He’s so young, only fifteen, and while he still has baby fat clinging to his cheekbones, the way he talks doesn’t show it, and he’s not easily intimidated by being with an older girl. He makes you laugh, in a way you thought only your mother and her strange ways could.
He suddenly kisses you, and you freeze. He’s warm beside you, and your eyes close when he lifts a hand to your hair. You’ve only just met him, and he’s not the one that you want, but it feels nice, and when he touches his tongue to yours you can’t help but gasp.
You push him away, of course, because you can’t help but think of how cold Edward feels whenever he touches you and you’re mesmerized by his eyes, but Jacob laughs and tells you it’s okay and you keep talking all evening long, and it’s – it’s nice, not having to pretend you like pretty clothes for Jessica or to put up with Mike’s adoration or to try and be more sophisticated than you are for Edward’s sake. Jacob becomes a friend, the best one, and when Edward leaves and your heart gets broken, you’re not alone.
It’s years until Edward’s absence stops hurting, and by then Jacob’s not entirely human after all but you’re not either, because it’s painful to realize you’ve wasted so much time pining your life away. Jacob’s still there, though, has always been, and you’re not entirely sure when you stopped yearning for Edward’s icy kisses and started dreaming about running through the woods on top of a shaggy wolf.
It’s you that kisses Jacob this time, and when he says about fucking time against your lips you laugh and press harder against him. Being with him feels as natural as being his friend once felt. He’s your family, and that’s everything.
