The University of Edward Masen



FIC/LINK: The University of Edward Masen
AUTHOR: SebastienRobichaud
HOW THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES IT: Edward Masen is the selfish and brooding university professor; Bella Swan is his shy, but determined graduate student. Appearances can be deceiving. Have their paths crossed before?
HOW I DESCRIBE IT: Bella is a sudent at a University in Toronto and her Professor is the rude and cold Edward Masen. Bella is intimidated by the Professor who likes to give her a hard time and seems to think she is an incapable being. But there is something that drawers him to her time and time again. He doesn't know why and she is definitely not pushing him away.

CHAPT THAT WILL SUCK YOU IN: Well I suppose Chapter 1 - Bella meets the Professor and lets say things start off on a very shaky foot.
CHAPT THAT IS EPIC: Chapter 13 - The truth comes out and Edward is clued in!

FINAL THOUGHT: So I would have given up on this FF after the 2nd chapter because Edward is an ASS! Hes rude and mean to Bella and has a mighty thick rod up his ass! But after the last few updates I must admit that I am liking him a tiny tiny bit more... But he would drive me up the wall with his cold, formal way of talking to Bella. But nevertheless, a very intriguing FF that has us theorizing in twitter for hours!

SNSHYNE'S FINAL THOUGHT

I adore this fic. I adore it because it's pretentious and eccentric vocabulary is intriguing. The use of art and history is enticing. And the mystery of Edward and Bella from the beginning is alluring. Week after week I left a review asking if Edward suffered from some sort of amnesia and finally the truth came out and it was more interesting than I thought.

I kind of forced 5ctBauble to continue to read this. Along with Leydy, we tag teamed her week after week forcing her not to give up. It's a slow-build fic, so you have to be patient. However, it does update regularly every Saturday so you know you don't have to wait long to find out what happens next.

This story is wrapped in the world of Dante and academia. With lectures and thesis advisors and petulant boys who want more than they are offered. It's written for every girl who ever had a crush on her sexier than normal professor.

YOU KNOW YOU LOVE THIS FF!! =) its epic! unique & well written! whats not to love? Edward is not AN ASS!! *for the trillion time* he is just hurt. He needs someone to show him how to love, someone he can love back. He needs someone to show him affection. He needs someone he can believe he is worth it, because he thinks he's a piece of shit going straight to hell. BUT HE IS NOT.. and Bella is showing him, the is a person, someone with feelings. someone that can love, someone that can be trusted. someone that can care.

I was addicted to this fic from the get-go. I absolutely love it.

Bella attends Toronto university to get her masters degree - she wants to be a Dante specialist. Who happens to be her advisor? Non other than Edward Masen, who unbeknown to him at the time, have met before.

Bella waits for him to remember her from a time they spent as innocent lovers in a sacred meadow, with gentle and loving kisses. He remembers these events clearly himself, just doesn't connect the two people as the same. He even doubts to himself whether she was at all real, thinking perhaps it was a dream that pulled him from his darkness that day. His special name for his meadow companion is Beatrice, comparing her to Dantes very same.

Bella is kind and loving, and somewhat innocent. She is still a virgin. Edward is wealthy and comes across at first as snobbish, cold and hard, when really he is anything but. He is a complicated soul who has many demons. They both have deep seeded issues and dark pasts - Edward's seemingly more so, and we have yet to find out everything concerning this.

Their meetings become more frequent, and while Bella has loved him for all this time, it is also apparent that Edward is very fond of her. The secret is finally revealed, leaving Edward shocked and in awe. He has the urge to look after her and protect her, give her joy. This of course becomes dangerous as he is still her advisor, and teacher/student relationships are forbidden.

They get more comfortable with each other in time, and the care they have for each other is so strong. He treats her carefully, and even though the lust is evident from both of them, he refuses to treat her like a whore. She is far too special to him than that.

There is still a lot left to uncover, and certain experiences to be had. It's a definite favourite of mine, and I can't wait to see how everything plans out. Go read. You will adore it.
