As C. S. Lewis said in The Screwtape Letters, Hell is "occupied by noise", while Heaven is described as "the regions where [...] all that is not music is silence". The risk to make just noise is high for every author that struggles to say something remarkable with his/her stories and his/her characters; but the aim to make something full of harmony and beauty is what makes worth the try. An even more challenging task is represented by the choice to tell a story using words, pictures and music all together, as in

There's a story that I started to read because sunflower-queen -- a special author I had the pleasure to introduce some posts ago -- highly recommended it and defined it as a "gem". Let's try to find what gems have to do with
Metaphysics by Anais Mark
Summary: "Edward & Bella are graduate students in London 'coincidentally' researching the same poets. More than 300 years after the fact, Carlisle & Edward must find out why Carlisle's past won't stay there - before Bella digs it up researching her thesis".
Don't miss it because...If this story was a gem, it would be a pearl. Like a pearl, with its multiple layers, Metaphysics offers...

In Twilight, Edward says that he graduated at the college more than once during his long (vampire) life. Maybe that explains why there are many authors that set Edward and Bella at the University, both in AH and in vampire stories. When it happens, Bella usually studies humanities (good choice!), as in
The Weight of Words by georgeygirl
Summary: "Bella is in the final months as an undergrad student at U of T. When she meets the PhD candidate who will be the TA of her senior Shakespeare course, her world is turned on end . What do you do when the only man you want is the one you can't have?". Complete.

I always thought that the canon Twilight is mainly the story of a "different" boy who aims to be truly loved.I'm currently reading a very good fanfiction where the author has caught this feature of Twilight in a very fine way: Edward is different not because he's a vampire, but because he has a serious health issue; in this story Edward and Bella have a deep and troubled personality and a heavy baggage to deal with. As it happened to me, I hope you'll have the desire to read this fic in every moment of spare time:

This time, the title of the post is the English translation of the Italian title of two special fanfictions that are a unique in the fandom for several reasons: first of all, this time the fascinating, complex vampire with a long history (and a heavy baggage), who falls in love with a human young and beautiful (outside and inside) person is Bella, while Edward is the human boy. Then, the story is not set in the USA (at least when it starts) nor in the present time, but it takes place in France in the XIX century. You'll find that some characters of the original Twilight are still vampires, while others this time are humans. You'll find love,...
