Izzy Rec's "Sins of the Father" by Eila

It is so hard to find good, well written Carlisle Fics, much less Darkisle stories. Cullen818 had some awesome rec's for us last week, and although I don't have many more myself this week, I do however have some awesome fics to share with you. So please, check back throughout the month to see what we all find. 

I want to start out this week with a One Shot written for the "Dr Jekyll and Mr. Cullen" contest. There are some awesome fics over there so run over and check the contest entries out if you didn't do so back when it was running. 

Sins of the Father 

by Eila

Summary: Written for the Jekyll and Cullen Contest - After a tragic car crash, Edward receives pioneering treatment in the care of renowned brain specialist, Dr. Carlisle Cullen. But, what is Dr. Cullen hiding and is Edward's nightmare just beginning?

This OS blew me away. The whole time I was reading it, I felt like there was something big in the picture I was missing. There was an overwhelming feeling of doom looming the further I read on, leaving me feeling anxious the entire time I was reading. 

At first glance Carlisle seems to be the celebrated surgeon that he is. He's basically spent his life on research that will change victims of severe brain injuries lives. His first patient using his research is none other than Edward Cullen, who just happens to be Carlisle's long lost love's only son. 

Carlisle does what he can to save Edward and succeeds in doing so. He takes care of Edward as he recovers, much to Edward's girlfriend Bella's relief and his mother Esme, but something isn't quite right about Edward. He has hellish nightmares of grizzly murders. Much to Edward's terror when he awakens, the murders are real. 

Edward grows more uneasy with every new murder, believing something is terribly wrong with him. He must figure out what darkness lies within him, and what the esteemed Dr. Cullen has to do with it. 

I don't want to give too much away, and I am sure as you've read this review that it looks more like a Darkward story, but I assure you, the twists and turns all the way through to the end made this a hands down Darkisle story. I was floored by the end of reading this OS at how wonderfully written it was and how brilliantly the story's plot unfolded. It was breathtaking. 

So, with that being said, trust me my little darklings and go read this OS. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. It's a long OS, sitting at almost 12,000 words, but it will engross you from the very beginning. Now go, leave Eila some love for writing such a fascinating and chilling tale. 

And don't forget to come back Wed for more Darkisle.
