Tops of 2009: Fandom Edition II
“I designed the show to create that strong reaction. I designed it to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can’t be loved. … I wanted people to embrace it in a way that exists beyond, “Oh, that was a wonderful show about lawyers, let’s have dinner.” I wanted people to internalize it, and make up fantasies where they were in the story, to take it home with them, for it to exist beyond the TV show. And we’ve done exactly that.”
~ Joss Whedon

Scenes:
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, 2×22 ‘Born to Run’
[video]
John: Derek.
Derek: Yeah?
John: John. J-John Connor.
Derek: I know a lot of people, kid. Don’t know you. Anybody heard the name John Connor? Well… You know what? I think you’re gonna be famous. My brother’s back, and you’re wearing his coat.
The Vampire Diaries, 1×10 ‘The Turning Point’
[video]Stefan: I know that it’s hard to understand, but I’m doing this for you.
Elena: No! You don’t get to make that decision for me. If you walk away, it’s for you. Because I know what I want. Stefan, I love you.
…
Elena: Don’t.
Stefan: Elena, I can’t.
Elena: Yes, you can. Don’t hide from me.
New Moon, Hearing Damage
[video]Bella: Alice, I’m all right. Until I’m alone. And lately that’s all the time. Jacob’s gone, he’s hunting Victoria. And Charlie’s hunting Jacob. And you’re gone. And so is…Edward. There’s just nothing now. But I realize where I have to go. What I have to do to see him again.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager, 2×11 ‘Cramped’
[video-30:00]Ricky: It’s not okay! It’s not! I’m tired of people judging me. “Poor Amy, she’s a teenage mother. Poor Amy, she’s got a baby.” Poor Amy nothing! I’m a teenage father. I’ve got a baby and Amy! And no matter what I do, no matter how much I take care of her and my kid, she still hates me! And she doesn’t give me any credit for anything, just like you! You don’t give me credit for being honest with you. I’m just being honest with you, Adrian. If I told you I would marry you when we’re older I’d be lying.
Adrian: I’d be lying to myself if I had sex with you right and told myself it’s ok. I’d be lying to myself if I said I was comfortable having sex with you just because I’m feeling sorry for you.ÂCharacters:
Cameron Phillips (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)Cameron: Goodbye bird. There’s a 51% chance I wouldn’t have killed you.
Edward Cullen (Twilight)Edward: With a heedless smile on her lips, her sky-colored eyes full of mischief, the angel formed Bella in such a fashion that there was no way that I could possibly overlook her. A ridiculously potent scent to demand my attention, a silent mind to enflame my curiosity, a quiet beauty to hold my eyes, a selfless soul to earn my awe. Leave out the natural sense of self-preservation—so that Bella could bear to be near me—and, finally, add a wide streak of appallingly bad luck. With a careless laugh, the irresponsible angel propelled her fragile creation directly into my path, trusting blithely in my flawed morality to keep Bella alive. In this vision, I was not Bella’s sentence; she was my reward. – Midnight Sun
Ships:
Edward&Bella (Twilight)Edward: I just have one condition if you want me to do it myself.
Bella: What’s the condition?
Edward: And then forever.
Bella: That’s what I’m asking.
Edward: Marry me, Bella.
Stefan&Elena (The Vampire Diaries)Elena: Part of me wishes that I could forget, too. Forget meeting you, finding out what you are and everything that’s happened since.
Stefan: That’s what you want?
Elena: Yes, it is. Because I don’t want it to be like this. I don’t want to feel like this. But I can’t. With everything that’s happened, I can’t lose the way I feel about you.
Victor&Sierra (Dollhouse)Priya: That’s him. What’s his name?
Topher: Victor.
Priya: I love him. Is that real?
Topher: Yes. Yes, it’s real. He loves you back.
John&Cameron (Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles)Cameron: I love you! I love you, please. I love you, John and you love me!
Spock&Uhura (Star Trek)Spock: I will be back.
Lt. Nyota Uhura: You better be. I’ll be monitoring your frequency.
Spock: Thank you, Nyota.
Henry&Clare (The Time Traveler’s Wife)Henry: Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.
Fanfiction:
Emancipation Proclamation
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5180793/Edward grew up in a life of money, power, & respect. Isabella was born into slavery-has never known another way. Their worlds collide & neither will ever be the same again. Will he give her freedom? Can he bear to ever let her go?
I started counting and her eyes widened as she clutched onto me tightly when I hit two. “Wait!”
“Christ, we don’t have time to fuck around here,” I said in frustration.
“I love you,” she choked out, the words catching in her throat and escaping as a sob. The sound of it stung, my heart aching.
“Don’t you fucking act like we won’t see each other again in thirty seconds,” I said firmly, grabbing my gun from my waistband and flicking the safety off. “Get in the goddamn car, baby. Three.”
Art After 5
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1801946/Bella Swan had life figured out until she met sixteen-year-old Edward Cullen. A few months and an intense emotional connection later, she finds herself on a journey toward self acceptance while questioning everything she’d previously accepted as true.
The Ex Factor
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4765157/Edward & Bella are exes. 4 years later, fate gives them a new hand by reuniting them together in their father’s joint cabin, with the assistance of their clashing friends.
“Jasper has been that one man in my life for three years now! He’s been incredible, and honest, and sweet, and tender, and loving! He’s been my rock, Edward! One of my best friends! He’s my boyfriend! I can’t just hurt him! I can’t just throw it all away!”
“You already did, Bella! Why don’t you get that?! You already hurt him, the moment you begged me to be inside of you!”
She was in tears as she looked away, crossing her arms over her chest.
But I was beyond hurt at this moment and I couldn’t stop. “But oh wait, what am I thinking? That didn’t happen, right?! You didn’t make love to me, you didn’t fall asleep in my arms, and sure as shit didn’t fucking tell me that you were going to go tell your boyfriend every fucking thing so we could try to work this out! And you also didn’t fucking lead me on, right? Because I have to pretend it didn’t fucking happen. That’s what you want, right?”
She nodded slowly. “…I shouldn’t have done it, Edward.”
“Besides Jasper’s feelings, give me one good fucking reason why not, Bella,” I sneered at her.
“Because we didn’t work out the last time. Because we don’t know each other anymore. Because there was too much drama, and too much pain in the four years that we were apart, and we may not work out even if we tried to this again, and I’m not willing to…” her voice trailed off, but I got it.
“You’re not willing to risk your happy little set-up you have so you could run back to your asshole ex-boyfriend, right? Just in case I fuck up your life again, right?”
Now she was back to not looking me in the eye. “I really wish I would have done this differently, Edward… I wouldn’t have done it, actually. I never wanted to hurt you.”
“Yeah, well it’s too fucking late now, isn’t it?”
“I’m sorry,” she replied as she wiped away her tears. “I think it’s for the best… for all of us.”
Behind Enemy Lines
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1762153/International aid worker Bella Swan enters a war zone to find the man she’s loved for the last 10 years. It’s a race against time to save Edward Cullen from the depths of an appalling humanitarian crisis and get him out from behind enemy lines.
Resident Geek
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4509651/Geeky Edward thinks he has absolutely no shot with the popular, beautiful Bella. Is he right, or will she be one of the many girls who thinks geeks make for better lovers?
I pulled back a little as his face swung around to mine so our heads wouldn’t knock together, and his beautiful green eyes widened behind those cute, nerdy glasses he wore as he looked at me.
God, he was gorgeous. If he would let me, I would seriously just stare at him all day.
What was it about glasses that intensified the hotness a guy already possessed?
This seemed to be a very strange occurrence in nature because glasses were supposed to dull down the effect a person’s eyes had on you. And to ‘geek’ them out, if you will. But it actually was like adding fuel to a fire. At least it was like that for me.
