This week, I’m
recommending The Debt by Ta Paixao (@Ta_Paixao). Read
it here on fanfiction.net.
It was completed
this past December is what I would call a medium length fic at 47 chapters and
roughly 153,000 words.
It had been
awhile since something came along and played with my emotions. I was so ready
for it. I am a sucker for inked up Edwards with emotional problems and this one
is both to perfection. My heart bleeds for this one.
Another thing I
really loved about this story was Ta’s Bella. I think as a fandom, we are so
swoony over Edward that we tend to focus on him and let our Bellas remain underdeveloped
or non-descript. It worked for Stephenie Meyer because we all wanted to put
ourselves into Bella’s place. But at this point, it’s getting old. I want a
Bella with a personality and to actually be worthy of all Edward’s perfection.
This Bella has it. She isn’t “perfect” in the sense that most Bellas are. She
has flaws and emotional problems of her own – but she’s also strong and doesn’t
put up with Edward’s crap. She’s real. I admire that.
