Emmett McCarty's the brand new bouncer for Fire & Ice night club.  This is his firsthand account of all the shady, sexual, and lucrative happenings from behind the velvet rope.  

Canon pairings eventually.  This is not a story about Emmett so much as it is about the happenings around him.  Give it a whirl.  Who knows, you just might like it.

A missing heartfelt moment between Bella and Edward set during Bella’s pregnancy in Breaking Dawn. Inspired by Charlene Soraia’s version of the song “Wherever you will go.” 

When fate delivers beautiful, broken Bella to his family's doorstep, Edward and Bella's lives are forever changed, for better or for worse. All human.

Conformity has always been the key to success in the sleepy town of Forks, Washington, but when the punky Bella Swan arrives, she teaches the nerdy Edward Cullen that it's okay to be a little different.

*Warning: Story contains school bullying, underage drinking, and OOC characters.

Emmett McCarty, owner of a foot with a stubbed toe, is distracted by a beautiful brunette. She teases him for wearing flip-flops and helps him to a nearby coffee shop. He can't get enough of her, nor she him. Their attraction is undeniable. 

Edward and Bella have been married for twenty eight years. Determined not to let vampirism spoil their chances of becoming parents, they decide to become foster parents. Follow their journey as they discover a new kind of love.

AU - As Bella waits for Jacob to make her cliff dive, Victoria takes advantage of this opportunity.  The story deviates from New Moon at this point.

For the past 15 years Bella has been trying to say goodbye to her best friend and let him go. But some things aren't so easily done. Post Breaking Dawn. Honorable Mention in the Truly Anonymous Twilight Contest.

Bella and Edward had a seemingly perfect relationship. Although they were both successful in their work forces, Bella couldn’t help but think that there was something she needed…something that would fill a void in her life that had been nagging at her. She finds out she’s pregnant and is elated. Can Edward keep up with Bella, a baby, and his work life? Will James, Bella’s ex-fiancé, get the better of their relationship?

How could I have ever thought my perfect recall of her would be enough to sustain me in my pitiful existence? The memory was nothing—nothing compared to the living, breathing reality of my reason for existing.

*Takes place during New Moon in an alternate universe.

On March 16, 2006,  the World changed, and everything and anything that the Cullens ever cared about was lost. They had to find their own way in this New World. Edward never wished to exist in a world where Bella didn't.  Unfortunately, his family desperately needed him, so he'd stay to help them.   And by doing so, he hoped to redeem himself for his failure to save the one creature he couldn't protect. 

With rumours in the South of humans feeding off the living and stealing people from their beds, the Cullens have a responsibility to protect the ones they can from those monsters in the night.  This was Edward's last chance to fight for his soul and his salvation.  He would finally be ready to face Judgement day and be deemed worthy enough to be with Bella once again.  Or would something or someone change the path he was destined to go down?  Faith, hope and love are powerful things, and Edward is about to find out just how powerful they are.

Yes... this is the story that is set during a post-apocalyptic nuclear war. Just try the Prologue to get a feel for it before passing judgment. You might be surprised. Warning: There is violence and disturbing images the further the story goes along.
