Shane lost everything: his family, his home, his money, his future. Now he's taking life day by day, hoping that somehow he'll manage to make it through.

I smiled softly at her and reached out to stroke her cheek. The expression on her face was unreadable but fear lingered in her dark eyes. I leaned forward and gently brushed my lips against hers.

"Thank you," I whispered into her ear, "for giving me something to live for."

This is the story of Shane and Leah

To whom it may concern:

As I understand it, the blossoming of conscience intellect is such that at any given time, a scenario can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. As you may—or may not—be aware, Bella had a story to tell.

She told it.

It is at this point that the aforementioned scenario comes into play. In the spring term of 2008, I met Bella swan for the first time. In 2012, three years after her change, a horrific incident occurred. This event was so traumatic, so life-altering, that it broke my sweet angel.

Had it not been for the unparalleled cognitive prowess of our kind I might not have been able to save her. When she awoke, the reality of our past together had been altered so that she forgot the events of the most bloody vampire war ever recorded in the annals of Volterra.

Now, three centuries later, I think I am ready to explain what really happened. Please be aware: this is not the story Bella told. It is fraught with violence, sex, torture, death but most of all—it explains in excruciating detail the story of how my angel pulled me back from the bowels of hell and the brink of insanity.

Here it is.

One handful.

Our story.

—Edward Anthony Cullen

After fighting for fifty-five years, Edward returned to the one place he could call home. Jaded and angry, he festered in his own damnation, hating Carlisle for his forgiveness and mercy. One day – in August of 2008 – Edward met a soul that was, quite possibly, more broken than he was. In that second, Edward resolved to save this human…no matter the cost. Fighting his bloodlust, struggling to regain his humanity and attempting control a new gift, Edward attempted to forge a new relationship with a human who had awakened the humanity which had lain dormant within him.

But not all is well in Forks. A new war is brewing in the vampire world. Unexpectedly, just as his relationship with Bella came to fruition, Edward was thrown back into the world of violence, corruption and greed in the worst way possible.  With the help of one lone human, The Cullen alliance must face and defeat the most powerful force that the vampire world had ever seen. Now, amongst the war and death that is ravishing the world around him, Edward and Bella must make a choice.

*I realize that this list is pretty extensive. Most of the material listed here is integral to the plot I have created so on the chapters rated HARD NC-17 I will post warnings where the areas of graphic material occur and them put a summary at the bottom of the story featuring what happened within so that readers do not feel obligated to read some of the more…graphic…material*

What if the only female Quileute wolf imprinted on a vampire? What if he was in the Volturi? What if Demetri left the Volturi? What if Leah gets knocked up by her vampire imprint? Can a Quileute shape-shifter give birth to a half-vampire baby?

Appearances by most of the Cullens, of course!

Awesome banner thanks to bewitchscience!

A few months after the Volturi leave the Cullens in peace, Bella and Edward finally have some alone time. Pure fluff. O/S.

Thanks to the lovely FrozenSoldier for my banner.

After Bella's change and the arrival of Renesmee, Billy and Charlie talk during a fishing trip.

A one shot for Father's Day.

In the days following his escape from the Newborn Army, Fred learns something about himself that changes his entire existence. For the first time in a millenia, Tanya is the odd woman out, and the guilt of her sister's death is weighing her down.  Finding each other is only the first step...will they be able to heal enough to truly see each other?

Huge cuddly thanks to annamorphos for the Frabjous Banner! *blows kisses* And then she got creative and made me another...Gotta love her!

I've been Recc'd!  Yay!

Bella Swan writes fanfiction?! Well not quite, but close enough. Now what happens when a Cullen finds out about it? Will Edward be kept in the dark or will his wife's dirty hobby reap benefits for them both?

Charlotte really wants to be like Alice. She knows that not killing humans is probably the best way to get a closet to match the pixie's. Before the Volturi come in Breaking Dawn, she makes a deal with Peter that, if they survive, they can try the Cullens' diet. Getting started isn't easy...

Rated R for language.

Banner came from Twisted In Masen for the Gem Awards.

Three years after "Crescent Moon" Renee Dwyer has come to an impasse in her personal life, Charlie Swan has come to a crossroad in his professional life and Nessie Cullen is a senior in high-school. She is also in love with a mortal, much to the worry of Renee. The Cullen family of vampires is, for the most part, indifferent to Nessie's affections for a boy. They are too busy dealing with their own worries. As the preeminent Coven of Vampires, they must decide to either take action against a threat to the doctrine that all vampires live under and by doing so put the family in harms way, or do nothing and watch as all hell breaks loose.

Edward dances with his princess.
