This week our FFF did not come as a rec to us. Althea was so in love with this fic she wanted to shout it from her rooftop. I talked her down from the ledge and convinced her to write the review here instead
Surviving Bella by Savage
Spending time on a sailboat on the sea should be the time of your life! But when the ship sinks, Captain Edward and passenger Bella end up in a life raft together. Can they survive the elements and their colliding pasts? M for mature themes/language.
Althea’s Thoughts:
I am so fucking in love with this new Savage fic!!! All Human this time. Practically the whole thing so far has taken place on the 10 ft x 10 ft real estate of a life raft. The ship has gone down and Bella & Edward find themselves stranded together. Initially, I hit up this fic, just to see if Savage could pull off telling a whole story that takes place on just a raft.
I am blown away with what she does with that physical limitation. And it’s not like the whole story is told through flashbacks. It’s so very very present. It’s an action packed tale of survival and redemption. It starts out with an asshole Edward. Almost intolerable. And the way it plays out from there – delicious craftsmanship, ladies
Oh yeah. And all EPOV. (*high fives* all round)
This woman has a knack for getting into Edward’s head and making it a totally original and interesting place to be. And just like with Hide and Drink, the slow build of ridiculously hot UST is so well justified, and SO worth the wait
Surviving Bella, y’all. She is working it with this premise. Original and so far, brilliantly executed.
p.s. I want to thank Sue at So You Think You Can Write because I found this fic when I went to see her new interview with Savage.
Sue said: “I think of it as survivor meets fight club meets gilligans island”
