The Fanfic that I am recommending today is one that will most likely always stay at the top of my favorites.

With Teeth is incredibly well written. It is a heartbreaking journey for both Edward and Bella as they try to form a relationship when the odds are stacked against them. Edward is a recovering drug addict as well as an alcoholic; when he first meets Bella  he has only been sober for about six months. Despite the risks of becoming involved in a relationship so soon in his recovery he quickly falls for Bella.

Bella is also aware of the consequences of being in a relationship with Edward so soon in his recovery, but the need to be with him is greater than the risks as she can not stay away from him.

This story goes into great detail the life that Edward had lived while he was using. He was a selfish bastard, and he treated others as though they were beneath him. He used women as nothing but a vessel for his release, and now that he is trying to stay sober he has to live with the consequences of his addiction as well as his treatment of others.


This is a Fic that was written with brutal honesty. The author does not glamorize drug use or casual sex- if you are looking for a fluffy romance then this is not the fic for you. I do not want to go into great detail and spoil the story but I will say that although the journey is a rocky one it is also one that is well worth it in the end.

The story is told in both Edward and Bella's POV. Both Bella and Edward have sexual relations with others in this fic but not while they are in a relationship together so no cheating.
