For Phoenix Rising. 

In From the Wings, Bella offers Edward his choice of gift: "My blood or my body?"

He chooses her body.  And in From the Wings, we move to a Fade to Black moment.

Here, we shine a light on the night as Edward gives Bella his virginity.

An Abridged Account of the Sexual History of Edward Cullen, as told to Bella Swan.  Edward recounts a somewhat disastrous history of encounters with women through the 20th century, while Bella grows impatient for an encounter of their own.

Bella was taken and changed by an incubus. She now roams the streets, thirsty and mentally unstable. She's looking. Hearing. Waiting. One day she sees Edward and she immediately points him as her love, her everything, the husband she always wanted.

Stuck in Limbo, Bella and Edward have to find a way to pass the test the Elders give them or to hell they go.

A Carlisle Cullen love story told through the eyes of a 22 year old temp, Lilly Voltimandi, who has to travel to hell on earth (otherwise known as Forks) in order to help her sister and her husband with the birth of their first child. Little does Lilly know that what she will find in that dreary little town will change her life forever.

Bella wakes up in a living nightmare, with superhuman powers she doesn't understand and one hell of a burn in her throat.  As the events leading up to her death begin to come back to her, she realizes who is to blame for damning her to an existence of eternal night.  Unharnessed powers swirling in her consciousness, she realizes she must learn to control and direct her fury in order to exact vengeance on her killer.  And vengeance would be sweet...

AU/OOC

The newborn battle is over and Bella is dead. Can Edward survive without her?  Can the Cullens save him from himself and his bad decisions?  Does he want to be saved?  This is Edward's heartbreaking journey of self discovery.  Can he find another reason to live?

Summary

No, this is not a vampire story, but supernatural all the same. It is the tale of a princess in peril and the mythical creature who saves her. They will love each other passionately but, as it is the case with other cross species mating, it will not be easy. The time? Oh, some 2,700 years ago.

Ἕλθε, Κύπρι,
Χπρυσίασιν ἐν κυλίκεσσιν ἄβραισ
συμμεμιγμένον θαλίαισι νέκταρ
     οἰνοχόεισα.

Come hither foam-born Cyprian goddess, come,
And in golden goblets pour richest nectar
All mixed in most ethereal perfection,
     Thus to delight us. (Sappho)

A reader asked if this is an Edward and Bella story. Of course it is. Only, he is not a vampire and they have Greek names with the same meaning...just saying

I can hear thoughts if I touch someone. But I'd never hated my 'gift' more than when I touched Edward Cullen for the first time. Figures, the most beautiful boy in the world wants to kill me. Why? I have yet to find out. Run little girl, run.

Watching Over You is a series that will take you out of the harsh world around you, only to throw you into an even harsher one. Isabella was once a guardian angel, but after making the decision to show herself to her assignment, which ultimately killed the girl she was suppose to be guarding, her wings were taken from her and she was thrust into the world of emptiness. After centuries of loneliness, the fallen angel takes it upon herself to protect Edward Mason, a newborn baby. Five years after his birth, Bella makes the same fatal decision for Edward that she made for her first and last assignment. Bella is forced to make hard decisions to protect the one she loves, and will stop at nothing to do it. 

After eight years of hide and seek, Demetri finally begins to close in on his prey.
