Story Recs

So normally when I do story recs, they're all stories I've personally read and liked or even loved. The list today is not that. I have read a couple of these, but most are on my to be read list. Instead, this list is inspired my the posts that I've been noticing in the facebook groups I follow. All stories listed have been updated/completed withing the last three weeks.

(facebook groups include, but are not limited to: TwiFandomNews, Twilight FanFiction Pays it Forward, The No Rules Twilight fan fic Recs Club, Tufano79 Twilight Fanfiction Appreciation, and Favorite Twilight Fanfiction)

As always, as I'm not good at writing personalized descriptions, the summaries are directly from the stories in question. All stories in this post are on FF.net, so if any of the authors that I rec'd are for some reason upset by it and want me to remove their story then please let me know via a pm on FF.net and I'll remove it - but as it's free publicity, I don't know why someone would take issue with it.
