Cullen818 Recs Beautiful Sorrow

Beautiful Sorrow by DreamoftheEndless

Carlisle/Bella

Edward/Bella

Summary - Bella worshiped Carlisle, so when he proposed she didn't think twice before accepting. But then she met Edward, her fiancé's half brother & the other part of her soul. Will they be able to survive the consequences of their betrayal?

I found one of those fics again that has taken a hold of me and won't let go!  These updates literally bring me to tears because they're that well written. When you read Beautiful Sorrow

you feel like this is someones RL. It's one of those stories where I'm so ensconced in the words that I absolutely forget I'm reading a Twific. I see the characters faces, but I'm transported so much deeper than just Edward/Bella/Carlisle. I'm totally lost in the story and I care about these characters.

So, why did I chose it for this blog?  Carlisle...

I think we all know how I feel about him. Out of all the Twilight men, no one affects me more than the Cullen patriarch when he's written dark and domineering. As I said before, he doesn't have to be a vampire to scare me. There's something about an older, controlling, domineering, rich man that does it for me. Now, I'm not saying I'd want this particular version of him to be my man, but he's captivating to read.

Carlisle is clearly  the villain in this story and it works. There's a history that's scratching the surface between him and his young wife and I can't wait to see how they ended up here.When Bella met him, she was so taken by him I don't think she could possibly have imagined what was coming. We haven't met Edward yet, but from what I gather from the summary, his introduction will be quite explosive.

The fic is only six chapters in and we've gotten snip its of the back story, but the tension building is incredible. I wait on the edge of my seat for the next update. I swear I'm going to wait until its finished before I'll read because I'm so obsessed with learning what's going to happen next, but I can't wait. The writing, the build-up and the details that go into this plot are so intriguing that I have to read as soon as its updated.

Can you tell I like this one?

Cullen818 Recs - Between Pleasure and Pain

Between Pleasure and Pain by sadtomato

Edward/Bella/Carlisle

Summary - Bella's been keeping her kinky fantasies a secret from her husband, Edward. When he finds out about her dark desires, he turns to Carlisle for guidance. Will Carlisle's mentoring help bring E&B closer or drive them apart? BxExC, AH, BDSM, Rated M!

I've been on a Carlisle kick lately and not the sweet, "I'm the Daddy of the Cullen Coven" kinda kick. Nope, it's much more delicious than that. I'm digging what some Fandom authors can do with a deep, dark, troubled Carlisle. Now, with that being said, I find there are different degrees of dark and we've discuss them right here on this blog before, so not every fic we rec will be about an evil, fierce vampire. Sometimes, we feature just a mortal man who may have a few issues and sometimes those issues cause certain "manifestations" in the bedroom that may or may not turn some of us on. That's what I'm talkin' about today!

A few weeks ago, I came across this story and I fell in LOVE! It's mainly an Edward/Bella pairing and I must admit, this Edward is pretty awesome himself. Edward and Bella are a happily married couple but the spice seems to be missing from their sex life. They decide it's time to explore and in experimenting they find that Edward is a natural Dom. Yum!  So, what's a newly developed dominant to do? Seek help, of course!  And, who better than the resident hot doctor at the hospital Edward works in? 

It's been rumored that Carlise has a playroom in his house and luckily Bella has had just enough wine to relax her enough to allow Carlisle to show them around. Sexy times are ahead! This Carlisle is domineering, controlling and knows how to get the maximum pleasure out of his partner. He shows Edward exactly how to please his woman. And, the couple are very grateful. There may even be some scenes where Bella gets to please Carlisle under the watchful and fully aroused eye of her husband. Its all so erotic.

But, its the Carlisle in this story that draws me in. As strong and in control as he seems, and he's written really well, you can feel he longs  for what Edward and Bella have. He admires their relationship and that makes me sad. We've recently been introduced to Esme. Could she be his future? I certainly hope so, because a man like this should not be denied.

If you're into the D/s fics, check this one out. Its unique because we have the introduction of the third character in the playroom. I think you'll be as intrigued as I am. 

Kitten's Rec "Mine by Shirley007"

Mine by Shirley007

First off... as most know a dirty doc is not my fortae, however this one had me all giddy and yes he is dark and just... dirty.

The play on emotions and the true role reversal that Shirly did is one that deserves applause. Who thought they'd be chasing him across the counrty? I sure as hell never would've thought Carlisle could or would drop his "diet". He was the first vegetarian, and to just go nuts and loose all sence of reality is just hysterical to me.

Hysterical isn't a bad thing here though. I like to think I am open minded but it was a distraction he didnt see coming. How can you know your mate is your mate? Is it a feeling? Is it a pull? What makes him just know she is his? I can't think of any less than the fact that with his years of experience, his senses and his ability to just read people, that he'd let her get away. No matter the circumstances, no matter the will there is a way. Carlisle demonstrates that in this story.

Now here is a sneak peak into the world of darkisle:

Bella was still a virgin; like her deceased friend, her blood also lacked the putrid hints of impurity. I smirked, guiding her into the house, leaving her friend out there in the front yard. They lived secluded enough for me not to worry about such banalities now and I focused on keeping Bella under my influence. She was transfixed with me and it made my dead heart soar.

As the door slammed closed, her eyes threatened to break away from me in her surprise, but I grasped her chin before she could sever the connection. She gasped at the contact and then managed to baffle me by stepping closer and pressing herself against me. "I want you, Carlisle."

"My kind of woman; verbose and beautiful," I smirked, moving her over to the couch, where I laid her down gently. My mind was warring between violently claiming her and making tender love to her. It was her first time and although the blood would do for a good dessert, I didn't know how to handle virgins. Not ones I cared about at least. The others I just fucked hard and viciously, while drinking from them, but Bella was different. I decided to just play it by ear then and hovered over her, whispering "Kiss me, Bella."

Her mouth opened eagerly and her soft tongue ran across my lips, where they explored the contours of my mouth, both in and out. I closed my eyes as everything seemed to shift. All I had ever hold dear in life, was nothing but a grey and black blur in the distance. Bella was all I saw and the sweetness of the moment was not lost to me. The shift. We become one.

Greedy for more, I lowered my face and took over domination off our kiss. She tasted sweet, of innocence and purity. I groaned into her mouth, as my hunger grew and my passion was set aflame by her responsiveness. The way her body heated my cold flesh made me hiss. Her sweet scent made me lust. Her fingers in my hair made me purr. Her nails on my back made me growl.

Now go show Shirley some love and read her naughty Darkisle. I promise its worth every heartbeat.

Kitten Recs "Snapped" by AngelGoddess1981

Snapped

By AngelGoddess1981

Summary: 

**One-Shot for the "Kill a Cullen" Contest** What happens when the most compassionate of the Cullens snaps? Rated M for dark themes and language. Canon Couplings...for a while...

This o/s was written for the Kill a Cullen Contest and I know it wasn't meant to be this way... but I’m a sick little kitty so it was frigging hysterical to me. I don't know what to say. It was dark, gloomy and full of me say oh no don’t.. too late... *laughs* But it was full of laughter for me. Again, I am a sick and twisted little kitty but Carlisle going postal and offing them all was epic.


“After years of traveling and learning more about his kind, he decided to become a doctor. He was particularly proud of the fact that he had never fed on the blood of humans – unless it was to save one of them – and even then, it was never about his survival, always theirs. If there had been any other way to save them, you'd better believe he would have tried.”


Doc in this light to me is getting to the end of the rope. The ends ase fraying and he isnt in a good place. But what can he do. He has a ghouse full of teenagers, who act like they are five and he snaps.


“Creating five immortal teenagers – one of which created one of his own to sate his century-long loneliness – was not the smartest thing he had ever done. The Volturi were definitely onto something with not allowing immortal children. "They should really consider expanding the law to include anyone under the age of twenty-one," Carlisle thought to himself with a chuckle.”


It again takes you to a frame of mind saying could it happen? Did he really just do that? It adds an element of surprise along with the satisfaction of saying yeah they deserved it. But really did that just happen.


Now as most all in the world of FanFic know its the variety, the unfamiliar and the unknown that strike you and get your attention. The humor aside this was a great read. The attention to detail, the progression of the decisions Carlisle makes and the ability to keep you in a frame of mine to kep reading is what we all love.


This is truly a fic I have saved and will ready many times... there is nothing like an overly cocky Emmett.. this is truly a great read so go now and get it done. Kittens orders.

Jaspers Sex Kitten rec's Moonlight

Moonlight

by writer-person-thingy

This fic was an o/s done as a contest entry for: Moon from Venus_fiction's Apple a Day challenge. It is a short piece that is full of mystery. I love  how she took the characters and made you actually see into their minds. No names being mention in my opinion is the best way to go in this one. It helps add to  the allure and the underlying presence of danger. The dark one, Carlisle never seeing his name but knowing its him made my skin crawl. It is a fascinating way to write and again very captivating.

“”The man inside the man is nearly sick at his own arousal to this; but the demon in control doesn't hear as he grins into the kiss—or assault, depending on the point of view, but he didn't mind that. His fingers were splaying, feeling every warm centimeter of her lower parts; his pinkie finger just touching her navel, his thumb brushing the part of her he was after. And his ring finger on the part of her he wanted so to taste, touch—but of course the ring finger is no longer called that, being that its counterpart lay glinting gold in the grass, forgotten.”

*shivers* Okay this is what I mean people, you know it’s there, you can feel it, you can hear it... but you don’t at the same time. *laughs* It is very decriptive, which honestly is what more people need to pay attention too. They make their fics wordy but have no back bone. Take mine as a certain person tells me (SweetT129 *smirks*) I have a problem with rambling on and on about the details, but the detail are what catch your attention.

So the randomness of this fic overwhelms me.... Yes as you know I am very random but this one fascinates me. IDK its just a great way of writing and conveying a story. This is a must read. Short, sweet and totally fucking awesome.

Now scurry your little asses on as Kitten said and go read... Enjoy and don’t forget to review once you read... I did.

Dark Carlisle Guest Fic Rec by @HoudinisBox

We have an awesome guest rec for you today for Carlisle month by HoudinisBox. If you have one you would like to do, then email it to us at darkesttemptations@gmail.com . We'll put her up right here. Now check out what she sent us...

Generational Sins
by TwilightDarkness82


Carlisle is not the main character in this bdsm fic - Bella and Edward are, but it would be wrong to assume that Carlisle's presence is not felt in nearly every single chapter.

The story switches almost every other chapter between the past and the present as we learn that Edward is a natural Dominant (thanks to his sadistic father, Carlisle) and that Bella is a natural submissive.  Edward is somewhat afraid of his dominance and learns, with Bella's help, that he can express that part of him without being abusive.   However, Carlisle doesn't see it that way.  Women are property to him and need to be controlled by any means necessary.  He is cruel and violent toward Esme, using a young Edward as a mechanism to keep her from leaving him.  Now that Edward is an adult, he reverses that notion, instead using Esme as a way to keep Edward from breaking away from the family.  He now expects Edward to treat Bella as a piece of property as well.  This is demonstrated in the very first chapter, where he demands that Edward force Bella to perform oral sex on him while Carlisle watches.

It would take far too long to list all of the obstacles that Bella and Edward encounter on their road to happiness, but the story is so extremely well-written that the chapters seem to fly by quickly.  When it comes to the final climax of the story, you care so much about the characters, that you can't help but cheer when justice is served.  However, their victory may be short-lived, as they realize that the damage Carlisle caused may be permanent. 

HoudinisBox

We want to thank HoudinisBox for sending us this rec. We love Darkisle in all forms, even if he's not the main character. So if you have one, then send him to us. We love hearing from you. Now go read this story and leave the author some love. 

Edward'sChipper rec: Working Out the Kinks

Working Out the Kinks

By: ItHappened

Hello fans of the Darkest Temptations, my fellow lovers of purvy proclivities, dark deliciousness, and, dare I say it…Cullenman cunnilingus (look it up: dictionary.com). Since this is my first official rec for DT and all of you, I’d thought we’d start out with a bang. Heh. It’s the last week of all things Darkisle here, and what better way to end it then with a naughty, commanding, firm, and oh soooo…Domisle, eh? (That's for all of my Canadian pals. Ahem, Alexis.)


So I begin where I began, with one of the first fics I ever read (even before MoTU). I’ll say up front it’s chock full of BDSM, so if that ain’t your thang…well, you probably wouldn’t be on this site, now would ya? *winks*


Summary from ItHappened: Bella is forced to explore her darker side as she struggles to learn what has happened to her old childhood friend Alice. Dark themes. B/C x A/C

When first reading that summary my eyes, like yours most likely, immediately latched onto “forced to explore her darker side”. Hey, I can admit it. I like a Darkella. I think the canon virginal tease we all either love or hate has a tiger inside just waiting to be tamed. But I digress…

Bella is in college at UCLA (that’s University of California-Los Angeles), and spots an old friend half way through the semester in her History class, a once “vibrant” person, “bubbly, outgoing, and always one of the better friends”, who now seems different – emotionless, sleep-deprived, and wearing a strange choker-like necklace of black leather.

Hmmmm.

She follows her after class, needing to find out why her old friend’s personality has radically changed from what she knew in grade school:
"Alice!" I called out to her. I saw her flinch when she heard her name and stop in her tracks. Hesitantly, she turned her head and looked over at me. Her fearful glance made me stop heading towards her and I almost felt that she was giving me a silent warning that I shouldn't have tried getting her attention.

A slick black Mercedes appeared in front of my changed friend, and the engine purred beautifully when it came to a stop at the curb. The glass was almost completely tinted, and the only thing I could see inside was a large shadowy figure in the driver's seat. Alice closed her eyes and took in a breath before turning and opening the passenger door. The car's door lifted up, instead of out like most car doors did. The man inside had a large build and wore a dark suit that hugged his body perfectly. He was dressed impeccably. The way you would expect the owner of such an expensive car to dress. His right hand was firmly gripping the gear shift in the middle of the car and his other hand had the steering wheel grasped firmly on top. There was a dark, large ring on his fourth finger and when my eyes traveled further up his body, I heard myself gasp quietly. His blond hair was parted to one side and stood perfectly still on the top of his head. Not one part of him was out of place.

The man's face was angelic, yet with a hint of something sinister. His jaw line trailed down the side of his cheek, and his eyes, whose color I couldn't discern since the car was so dark, were on me the entire time. I suddenly felt as if he was challenging me in a way, controlling me with his gaze and pressuring me to back down and look away. But I didn't. I just kept staring at him the entire time it took for Alice to slide into the car and close the door over her. In the shadow of the darkened window, I saw his head finally turn back towards the road and he shifted the car into gear and sped off. What ever had happened to Alice, I had a feeling that that man driving had something to do with her dramatic change of personality.

Well, duh.

Bella decides to do some research, spotting a parking tag on the mysterious man’s Mercedes that indicates he’s either faculty or staff at the hospital, and…dun duh duh, she finds he is a previous resident from a hospital in Forks, Washington, a gynecologist specializing in…wait for it… Prolapse, Vaginal and Pelvic Support, and Vaginal Reconstruction. (Move over, Mel Gibson. For those of you going huh? that’s a, I hesitate to use the word old so, former SNL skit.)
Let’s all lick our lips together, shall we?

After a close call with said Mercedes, a driving Dr. Cullen, and a docile Alice, Bella decides she needs to find out what’s wrong with her friend. The only way to do that is to pay the good doctor a visit, as a new patient. Yes, I said a new patient. She’s never seen a male doctor before for the “hey, how’s it going down there” appointment.
Dr. Cullen turned his head to look over his shoulder. "Place your feet on the stirrups," he repeated, stressing the words.

"Oh," I fumbled. "Sorry."

Hesitantly, I pushed my legs to work right and placed them into the clothed metal rests that exposed all of me to him. The paper dress I wore blocked my view, but I could see his face well enough when he turned around and headed towards me. He didn't look at all phased by what he could obviously see. It was just another gynecology appointment to him, but to me, it was like a new chap ter in my life.

I threaded my hands together on my lap and closed my eyes.

"Take a deep breath and relax, Isabella." Dr. Cullen tried easing my discomfort as he placed one hand on my lower abdomen. Helplessly, I did as he instructed, and inhaled a lung full of air and then exhaled. The moment I did so, I felt his fingers slide into my body smoothly. The feeling of him caused me to let out a slight moan. Dr. Cullen had been looking at the time, but snapped his attention back to me when he heard my tiny groan.

"Relax your muscles," he said, almost in a whisper. Again, I did as he said and felt his hand push down while his fingers worked expertly around inside of me. This wasn't supposed to be anything sexual in nature, but having such an attractiv e man touching me like this was hard not to enjoy.

"When was your last period?" His question brought the sexual level to an all-time low.

I swallowed the knot that had built up in my throat and looked up at the halogen lights in the ceiling.

"About three weeks ago," I replied after a beat.

Dr. Cullen's fingers suddenly left my body, forcing me to suppress another moan. When I looked back up at him, I thought I had c aught a glimpse of a grin on his lips before he turned around and walked over to the counter to prepare the next part of my exam.

"So, you know Alice," he mused, keeping his back to me. In shock, I watched him remove the latex gloves on his hands with a loud snapping noise and tossed it into the trash bin. I felt like I had been caught with my hand in the cookie jar. And with most of my clothes still discarded on the chair beside me, there wasn't a good chance I could quickly get out of that room with my decency still intact.

I told myself to remain calm. To keep relaxed, just as he had told me to do moments ago.

"Yes," I said, after a moment to regain my composure. "I do."
Dr. Cullen spun around on his heel, carrying a metal tray full of supplies for my pap smear. He walked back over to my outstretched legs, dragged a stool up to take a seat, and placed the tray down somewhere I couldn't see. I could see his arms moving, but not knowing where they were was hard to deal with. My ears pulsed hot with the blood rushing through my head as we stared at each other, challenging each other. I felt something touch my leg—his hand—and then felt the pressure of the speculum pushing forcefully into me. It felt tight, and slightly uncomfortable, only because he hadn't prepared it with the bottle of medical lube I had noticed on the metal tray. I finally looked away from him, in defeat.

"Why are you here?" he asked me as I felt the click of the speculum opening me up. Gently, he squeezed the inside of my t high. When I glanced back at Dr. Cullen, I found his eyes looked as if a violent storm was brewing inside. My heart raced frantically against my chest.

"I want..."

Getting words out of my mouth was proving to be more than a challenge.
"What do you want, Isabella?"

Ooh, hello. Now, being the titillating rec'er that I am, I'm not giving you Bella's response, nor do I think I’m spoiling anything for anyone by the above, on the contrary. For those of you who are wondering, there is a VERY naughty Edward in this, though not the kind you would expect, and a very nummy Jasper makes an appearance as well.
I can guarantee, if you’re like me which I’m sure you are if you’re reading this, you will be tangled up in sweet, wet knots while reading Working Out the Kinks. I’m also happy to report that ItHappened has started a sequel entitled Breaking the Chains, and all I can say is…
Yippee, Ki-yay Kinksters!!

Now I’m a FIRM believer in love for any author who dares to put his/her work out there for pleasure/torture of us lascivious fanfic readers, so remember to review like the whores we are. If there’s a fic out there deserves a good smack on the ass, do me a favor and send me the info so I can pop in on it and have a looksee: foreveredwards7@gmail.com

Oh, and leave me some love in a form of a comment and let me know if I should continue this gig, or the girls from DT should flog and whip me now. *smiles innocently*

Until next time, may your Darkest Temptations be served…

Izzy Rec's The Canonical Five by EchosofTwilight

The Canonical Five 

by EchosofTwilight

Summary:

What if before he became the respectable patriarch we all know and love, Carlisle was a killer? A very famous killer. DARK. M for disturbing themes and lemons. Entry for the There Will Be Blood contest.

I have really tried to find the words for this next Dark Carlisle rec, but unfortunately I am coming up short. The reason being is because I don't know how to explain it with out giving the plot away. I don't want to do that as I want you to discover the surprises for yourself. I myself, caught on fairly quickly because I am some what knowledgeable about the subject matter that EchosofTwilight has decided to approach in this fic, but even though I knew right off the bat where this fic was going with this, I still found it brilliant. 

Written for the "There will be Blood" contest, we have a very disturb Carlisle, thinking about the boy who should have been his son, and no, we are not talking about Edward. He wasn't even born yet. He then seeks out to destroy those that are responsible, even if they weren't responsible directly. It is their kind (you'll see what I mean you read it) he despises and with his long dead father as his muse, albeit kind of creepy, he helps show Carlisle who his next victim should be. 

I know I am not doing this remotely justice, but for those of you who are not familiar with direction we are taken, I am trying to be as vague as possible. 

KNOW THIS!!! 

It is a damn good read with a wicked Darkisle. You will not be disappointed and the twists this story takes, makes this so worthy of your time to try. 

Now go! And leave EchosofTwilight some love for writing us such an inventive and refreshing fic. 

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. 

Cullen818 Recs - Holding A Scream

Holding A Scream by Tic Toc Tic Toc

Bella/Carlisle

Summary -Bella is in love with Edward, but she's been having lustful thoughts about a certain blond vampire; the thoughts are making her feel incredibly guilty. Sometimes the guilt builds up, and all you can do is scream-in the arms of the one you desire...

This fic gives us a completely different take on Bella and Carlsile. Bella is with Edward, but she seems to be having some inappropriate feelings for Carlisle, but little does she know Carlisle reciprocates. Problem for Carlsile is, Edward can hear all of these inappropriate thoughts. Carlisle does his best to mask these feelings and he's riddled with guilt for harboring such thoughts.

This Bella is a bit OOC, in a good way, she stands up to Edward and his controlling ways and has decided that she's calling the shots when it comes to her life. It's interesting to read how she reacts to her developing feelings for Carlisle.

This is an interesting story and has a solid plot. The underlying tone of his tale takes on a forbidden nature. How far is too far? And, what happens when someone crosses the line? It doesn't just affect two people, but an entire family.The author updates on a regular basis too. So, stop by and don't forget to leave some love in the form of a review.

Hopeforastalemate - Carlisle Style

As promised, I'm back with the recs for all three hopeforastalmate Carlise stories. I think you'll find her take on the delicious doctor very interesting.

Breaking - Dr. Carlisle Cullen, always perfect, always in control. What happens when his family decides he needs to be broken...for his own good? Dark AU story without Jacob, the wolves, or Renesmee. All vampire.

This is an amazing read. It's certainly different and clearly falls under the dark fic category. Hopeforastalemate is an incredible writer who has a consistent handle on her subject. This portrayal of Carlisle is like none you will ever read. The story flow and depth of her characters are superb. If you are a fan of these sort of fics, I think you'll enjoy this one. I also think it's worth mentioning that Carlisle really isn't the Cullen children's biological father. Can you guess where it's headed?

This story is

complete at seven chapter, so if you're looking for a late night read or a fic you could finish in a weekend without investing a lot of time, this is the one. But, trust me, just because it's short doesn't mean it's not worth it. Quantity isn't always quality.

And, in case seven chapters wasn't enough...

The Scarlet and the Gold - A sequel to "Breaking." You must read that one first. Carlisle Cullen is a new man trying to answer a very old question. Where is the line between man and monster? The Cullens, the Volturi, and the entire vampire world are about to find out. AU story


Oh Carlisle...I don't think I have ever read a Carlisle as intriguing as this one. We saw his raw side come out in Breaking and it just continues to grow in this story. He is as sexy as he is dark. And, let's just say that I've never read Aro being taught a lesson as creatively as I have in this tale. I won't say much else since I don't want to give anything away, but if you liked the first story, but needed more, look no further!

The Arms of Darkness - Aro has his eye on the pure and innocent Carlisle Cullen. What does it take to tempt an angel? Will Aro catch him if he falls?

This one started out as a o/s written for The Best Domination Ever Contest and features a submissive Carlisle. While the Aro/Carlisle pairing may seem odd initially, I think once you read it, you'll be surprised. The story is set during Carlisle's time spent with the Volturi and Aro can't seem to leave him alone. Will Carlisle reciprocate? Aro makes one hot dominant lover. That's all I'm saying... Go see for yourself! It's completed at four chapters.

Darkest Temptations Declares August Darkisle Month

Is there anything sexier than a Dark Carlisle? I think not, so this month we will be featuring the head of the Cullen clan in all his dark, sexy, dirty glory. He was entirely too refined and restrained in the original series, so let’s see what happens when he breaks character and takes what he wants!

When we think of Carlisle, we think of the compassionate, father figure to all those “foster” children. He loves and cherishes his mate Esme deeply, and would protect his family at any cost, but what happens when he gets a bit OCC? Particularly, when he starts lusting after a certain human?

I've highlighted a group of Carlisle o/s to help get my point across. In some he's human and in other’s he’s a vamp. He's dark, dirty and dominant, but I think if you were looking to find some fics that bring the good doctor out of his well refined realm and into the nasty, you should definitely check out some of these stories.

Vampire Carlisle…

He may start out reserved in some of these, but we all know his instinct has to kick in at some point. He's a bloodsucker after all.

Summary - While Edward is out hunting Bella has a vivid nightmare. Carlisle comforts her. Bella/Carlisle. DON'T LIKE? DON'T READ! Rating for sexual content. PART II ADDED!

This one is technically a two-shot, and I think part two was a much needed addition. I don't think you'll complain either. Bella and Carlisle are being awfully naughty in this fic. They find an extremely creative remedy to calm Bella after her nightmares. Let's just say that the good Doctor has all the answers. Lucky for Bella, her nightmares are recurring (wink)! This fic features a rather mild Dakisle, but we'll get a bit more grim as we go.

Carlisle's Return by our very own Jasper's Sex Kitten

Carlisle/Bella

Summary - WINNER of the "Write For The Other Team" O/S Contest **What happens when Carlisle comes back to Forks? Will Bella be happy to see him? Can he help her through her pain or is he a reminder of what she's lost?** Rated M for adult content and Language!

This isn't so much a dark fic as it is a steamy, break character fic. It's perfect if you haven't read a B/C pairing and you want to just dive right in. Bella can't stay away from the Cullen's abandon home, but she never expects to find him waiting there for her. What happens when clumsy Bella hurts herself and the sexy Dr. Cullen tends to more than just her physical injury? Hot lemon, that's what!

When Carlisle Gets Thirsty by IOnlyDateEmpaths

Carlisle/Bella

Summary - Entry for the Show Us Your Dark Side contest. When Carlisle leaves hunting too long and Bella needs medical attention, he might prove that his control isn't as good as everybody thinks... VERY OOC.

This story is perfect if you want to see what happens when Carlisle loses control. It makes perfect sense that a vampire would cross the line and want the blood of his patient. I don't care how reserved he is. This is one of those fics that I wish would be continued because there's much more here to explore.

Midnight Refreshment by Edward's Little Temptress

Carlisle/Bella

Summary-  Left alone in the Cullen's house when almost all the family is hunting, a highly frustrated Bella stops by the kitchen for a midnight refreshment to quench her thirst. Little does she know that another one of her cravings is about to get taken care of as well.

 

This has to be by far the dirtiest, kinkiest one shot I've ever read. But, I mean that in a really good way.  I have to warn you that the sex in this fic is graphic and well, just really raunchy.  I personally don't have a problem with that, but I'm just warning you before you read it.

 

Want to talk about an OOC Carlisle? This fic has it all. If you're looking for a polite, romantic lover, this one ain't it, but if you want sexy, filthy and chilling dark then go for it. Here's an example...

 

"You look so innocent, sweet, beautiful Bella… but in reality you're just a dirty little slut who dreams of getting fucked hard and fast, aren't you?" he purred nearly in her ear, making her blush ten shades of red before his apparently very satisfied eyes.

"How dare you?" she gritted between clenched teeth as this time she did try to push him away, one thought only running through her mind, getting out of there before she said or did something that she would regret later. Like telling him to go to hell, or threatening him to tell everything to Edward once he would have come back and begging him to defend her and to really hurt the man he considered as a father. "Carlisle! Get away from me!"

"Not so fast…" he growled as he pushed her right back where she had been and Bella's heart rate increased when she realized that he had let go of the soda he had still been pressing to her skin mere seconds ago while he was talking, and that she could now feel his own bare, cold, hands against her thighs. "You can deny it all you want, but I've lived long enough to know all about the kind of girl you are, trust me!"

"You don't know anything about me!" she retorted angrily now, caught between the need to flee and the need just as strong to inflict him pain for what he was saying to her.

"I know you've been trying to seduce my son for months now… begging for him to take your precious virginity… that's it… if you really are a virgin of course… because the way you behave, one could wonder…" he answered almost mockingly, and this time, not even thinking about the consequences or the fact that she would probably only hurt herself in the long run, her hand shot up all too ready to slap him for his crudeness.

"You son of a…" she cried out, but before her hand could connect with his cheek and faster than her human eyes could perceive, he had her wrist in a strong grip and stopped her for doing any harm.

"Careful… you wouldn't want to hurt yourself now, would you?" he tsked mockingly, the words earning him a hateful glare as Bella tried to disengage her hand from his hard hold.

"Let me go…" Bella grunted as she struggled against him, but to no avail. He was a vampire for god's sake and he was way stronger than she could be herself, even despite the rage she was feeling at that instant.

"Why should I?" he asked her and Bella felt herself shuddering once more as she spotted his smirk.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why… why are you doing this?" she demanded, still not understanding what was happening here.

Carlisle had always been so nice with her, treating her like a daughter, being there for her whenever she or Edward had needed her, and now he was acting like a lunatic, out for her blood.

She didn't even know what he was doing there, since Edward had told her that he would be working all night and would probably not be back before the next morning, but apparently, as much as she could lament it herself, there had been a change of plan.

"Hmm… I don't know… maybe I'm just tired of hearing Edward complaining about how much harder it's getting every day to stay away from you when you obviously want him to be really close… how he fears he will lose you if he doesn't give in and yet at the same time he can't bring himself to do it because he's just too scared he would hurt you, or worse, kill you if he just let go and fucked you!" he revealed, still holding on too hard to Bella for her comfort.

See what I mean? This is a massive o/s, clocking in at over 25, 000 words and there is a poll on the author's profile page about a sequel. That intrigues me!

Human Carlisle...

I like when he's written in this form, especially when he's flawed. The following o/s portray a man who has some dark and unadulterated desires.  Let's see what happens when they're unleashed.

Maybe by Crash Hale

Bella

Summary - Bella falls pregnant with her boss' child, a man old enough to be her father. He treats her differently after finding out about the pregnancy. He isn't the wonderful man she always thought he was. AH. AU. Contains MA content.

This is one of my fave oneshots of all time.It's not a Bella/Carlisle pairing, but it does feature a not so nice Carlisle. He does something dark and cruel in this fic and that's why I think it made it into this post. Bella ends up pregnant with Carlisle's child. Unfortunately, he's married with two grown children and isn't looking for a new young wife and child. Can a baby change all of that, or will Bella have to do this on her own? This is a completely different portrayal of the Carlisle we've all come to love and respect. You'll need to read to find out what happens, but you'll be glad you did. There might be a special surprise at the end of this story especially for all of the readers that follow my fics. (wink)

Dr. Hot Bitch by kuntrygal

Carlisle/Bella

Summary - entry for kittenmischief's Hot Bitch Contest. When his son Edward can't take care of his girlfriend Bella's needs Carlisle decides to help. Rated M OOC LEMONS LANGUAGE ONE SHOT!

I usually like when my Cullen's are vamps, but there's something about a sexy, hot, dirty human Carlisle that does it for me. This fic was a o/s, but the author decided to reward us with an additional chapter.

Bella loves Edward, but he is carrying around some extra baggage and won't fully commit. What's a girl to do? Carlisle has some ideas. The lemons are hot, and I don't think you'll be blaming Bella at all. If you're in the mood for a quick Carlisle fix, this story is perfect and quite naughty.






Okay, so I would be totally out of line if I didn't include the following two oneshots from one of the biggest FF Carlisle authors around...SweetT129. I don't think that I would be interested in reading a Carlsile fic if it wasn't for Tara. So, I have to point out these two fics that give us Carlisle in a more dominant light.

F Stop by SweetT129

Carlisle/Bella

Summary - Carlisle is a photographer who is tired of his insecure model not working to her potential. He decides that she needs a bit more instruction to make her feel comfortable in her own skin, and he's just the one to give it to her.

Carlisle is a hot, domineering photographer who knows how to get exactly what he needs from his subject. Let's just say that by the time you get done with this particular photo shoot, you'll be begging for Carlisle to touch you. Did I mention Dominant Carlisle?

Places You've Never Been by SweetT129

Carlsile/Bella

Summary : AU, AH Dr Cullen sees a woman in the hospital who captivates him and consumes him with desire. Is she feeling it too?

What happens when Carlisle stumbles upon Bella in the hospital? They're instantly draw to one another, but is is just lust that brings these two together?  Carlisle has a wicked mouth on him in this one and knows exactly how to get Bella to scream.

So, if you are still with me on this post, God Bless you. I got a bit epic, but I wanted to share my love of Carlisle when he's at his raunchy best.  Stay with us this month because we're featuring some full length Darkisle fics and we've tapped into the minds of a few Carlsile authors and they've given us their perspective on what happens when he loses control.

In the meantime, check out the above fics to pass the time. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Also, if you have some good Darkisle recs, pass them along to us. We'd also like to welcome you to do a guest review this month on a Dark Carlisle fic. If you're interested email us your review. We'll post it here!
