Pediatric ICU night nurse Bella Swan blogs about her work experiences via "The Nightingale Journals." When Dr. Edward Cullen is named the PICU's newest Fellow, their immediate attraction to one another is undeniable. They are both trying very hard to maintain their professionalism, appreciating one another as colleagues. Despite this predicament, Edward is determined to get to know Bella; when he learns that she is writing a blog, he makes it his mission to read every entry to find out just what it is that makes nurse Swan tick. Epic banter and UST result. Will they ever be able to admit their magnetic draw to each other?

Twelve celebrities. Twelve fans. Twelve houses. Twelve weeks. One million dollars.

That is the tagline to the most anticipated show of the year, I Want to Marry a Celebrity! It grabs Bella Swan's attention from the first moment she reads it, especially after she reads who the twelve celebrity contestants are: Tyler Crowley, Rosalie Hale, Caius Levine, Alice Brandon, Siobhan Firth, Edward Cullen, Kate Denali, James Hunter, Heidi Wells, Jared Wentz, Chelsea Green, and Felix Gerandy.

Though the legal terms are complicated, the conditions are simple enough:

Only persons aged twenty-one or older will be allowed to participate. If selected, the person will be notified pending an investigation of said person's personal background. If nothing out of the ordinary appears in the background information, the person will be notified. The person will be flown out to live up to twelve weeks at the private residence of the person they have been paired with. A camera crew will follow each couple on certain days of the week. Sunday nights a new episode will air, and voting lines will open as soon as the episode is over. On Monday night, a couple will be eliminated until only one pair remains. Once a couple has been eliminated, the person will have twenty-four hours to pack all personal belongings and return to their own place of residence, depending on flights available; otherwise, accommodation will be given through a hotel. The one million dollars in prize money will go to a charity organization of the winning couple's choice.

Warning: If selected, for the duration of your stay you will live the lifestyle of the rich and the famous. These people sacrifice a lot of their privacy, as you will have to. Depending on your popularity on the show, your daily life may include paparazzi.

As Bella, who is one of Edward Cullen's biggest fans, reads the above on the official website, she comes to a decision. She has nothing to lose, since she has never won anything before in her life. Not the coloring contest in the first grade, a spelling bee in third, and certainly not a radio competition to win tickets to the midnight premiere of Edward Cullen's newest film. Someone else always won. With that in mind, and thinking that it definitely won't be her who gets picked, Bella enters her name in the draw to be on the show. Imagine her surprise when she opens her front door nearly seven weeks later, only to find the host of I Want to Marry a Celebrity! on her doorstep. Besides a camera crew with him, there’s also a limousine and a lawyer with a heap of contracts, including a non-disclosure agreement.

An except from Bella's diary, a hundred and fifty years after her death:

I can't remember my human life, but I remember the first day of my immortality. I remember it with perfect clarity, just as I remember every day that I have lived since. I remember the sights and smells that assaulted my vampiric senses as I opened my eyes to this brave new world. I remember his blood red eyes.

But I don't mean for this to be a story of my early years. I mean for this to be an explanation, a justification. Maybe if I write it all down, I can figure out where this went so terribly wrong. I didn't have a choice about my change. Fate had destined me to live out eternity among the undead. But I had been the one to love two men. I had been the one to break both their hearts and to destroy my own happiness. They couldn't live with what I had done, and neither could I. My family was gone...because of me.

How do you go on, knowing this?

A companion story to The Sun Refused to Shine.

Bella was all set to marry Edward. Her makeup & hair were done. She was in her wedding dress. The guests had all been seated. The music was already playing. Everyone was waiting on her. Then Alice handed her a mirror as instructed by Edward. That's when everything changed.

In a moment of panic, Bella runs to her best friend, Jacob, who just got home but he has some issues of his own. Can they both work through their pain to be each other's happily ever after? And how will Edward react? What will they do when unexpected truths and outside forces try to destroy the solid relationship that they've built?

Note: This story is in canon (with the exception of Bella & Jacob ... because, yes, this is a B/J story) & is AU because if it weren't, I'd be writing Breaking Dawn. This story starts during Breaking Dawn, right before the wedding (obviously) and continues past it. It's rated NC-17 for later chapters (& some stuff that leads  up to it).

This one shot was my entry for the Jacob Black N Pack 'Show the Love' Valentine's One Shot Contest.

It is a look at Valentine's Day 2006 from Jacob's point of view where things work out slightly differently from canon.

Bella Swan was a successful journalist and a bitch.  She craved to meet someone who would ignite passion in her dull, monotonous life.  When asked to interview a popular romance novelist, Bella's fate is forever altered. Enter stage left... Edward Cullen.  A man who comes into Bella's life...and is mysterious, aloof and...bad.  A man who has endured a traumatic past and is trying to regain what circumstance had taken from him.  A man who will do anything to be with his one true love.  Rated for language, bitchy banter and lemons. Bella/Edward/Alice points of view.

THANK YOU TO CHRISTAG BANNERS FOR THE LOVELY BANNER!!!!

As Forks' police chief, Charlie was used to being in charge. While he loved having Bella with him, he'd experienced a rude shock when he realized that a father can't truly be “in charge” of his teenage daughter. During the ups and downs of Bella's relationship with Edward, Charlie understood for the first time the true meaning of impotence.

If you faced losing everything…

Would you trade your mortality to keep just a part of what you have? Count the cost before you decide.

One year after BD and all is not well. Bella's newborn year was way too easy. The newest Cullens are much harder to handle-both of them. Jasper has a tough year ahead dealing with these two! Flashes of human memories add to the tension and mystery.   

Once the venom courses through your veins it’s too late to change your mind.

Carlisle Cullen considers himself a doctor first and a vampire second. His focus is to protect life. What he finds at a fatal crash seen causes him to break the treaty his family has honored for over 80 years. The entire Cullen family will face the consequences of his last minute decision. Now the wolves are pissed and the Volturi are getting nervous.

Scott and Diane started out on a family vacation they would never finish.  After losing their lives and children through the fires of transformation, can they still hang on to each other?  Diane's human memories, once thought lost, are slowly breaking through in the strangest of ways.  Why does she recognize the vampire in one of Esme's treasured albums?  By the time the Cullens figure out what's going on, all they can do is prepare for the inevitable.

This is a story of love, loss, and picking up the pieces. Even for immortals time only moves forward. There really is no way back.
