A human—Emmett McCarty.  The chemistry between them is immediate, but where will it lead them?

A Special Thank you to Enchanted-Mind for creating this wonderful Banner!  And another special thank you to my awesome "Twilighted Beta," nikkipattinson! 

We all know that Edward Cullen has the ability to read everyone's thoughts, except for Bella's.

This story is about Bella having the same gift, as a human, and being able to read even Edward's thoughts.

Takes place during the timeframe of Twilight.

"

Bella ruled in Arizona, but when she gets to Forks, there is a new court. Will Bella rule or will she be conquered instead?  What faith do you put into dreams?

Adopted from "Dark Queen is What I'm Called".

An accident leaves Bella confined to a wheelchair, she has to undergo physical therapy. Add in one gay best friend, an odd set of parents, and an extremely attractive physical therapist, and things go beyond what she has ever expected. AH (Except Carlisle and Esme)/AU MA=lemony goodness.

Jane has been the Volturi's loyal servant for centuries. She is feared by vampires throughout the world for her ability to inflict unbearable pain with a thought.  Jane was only ever concerned with maintaining her position as Aro's favorite among the Guard--until she saw a human who stole her heart at first sight. David Cain is a hardened soldier who knows the horrors of war.  He copes by never looking back and never planning ahead.

Jane and David meet under extraordinary circumstances, and their souls are irrevocably intertwined.  Can two lost souls find redemption, or will their collective pasts destroy them both?

Rated NC-17 for language, graphic violence, references to torture and some sexual content.

Big thanks to *Beautiful Liar* for my awsome new banner!

Amber Johnston felt like her life was running in repeat and the monotony was getting to her. She desperately wished for something - anything - to change. While working on a top secret project with her best friend and boss - Whitney Sanders - Amber gets a little more than she bargained for when they are ripped from their home and dropped into the world of Twilight. The consequences of being in a world that isn't their own changes more than just the story we know, they end up changing her life. Can she live in the world of supernatural or will she go back to her life on a loop? And what of her best friend? Is finding a love that puts Romeo & Juliet's story to shame worth leaving behind the only life she's ever known?

~This story came about in quite an original way. McGeek is a military spouse with two young children. When her husband was deployed, she realized she'd be cooped up in her house nearly every single day he'd be away with very little to keep herself sane. I decided to spare her sanity by convincing her to begin this little diddly. We are both American and live on the East coast, however we reside nearly 211 miles (399.57 km) apart. Distance has never stopped us from collaborating on each and every chapter though. Technology has been our best companion as we've made use of skype, email, and unlimited long distance phone calls.

Some things to remember:

This story falls under the categories -

Twilight AU/ Non-canon Romance & Humor

With moderate to extreme violence, gore, swearing, and explicit heterosexual sexual content.

Any non-politically correct or derogatory comments made by the characters in this story are NOT the beliefs or views of the authors and are made only in good fun. This story will also be told in primarily Amber's point of view, however at times there will be other points of view that will have to be told to further develop the storyline.

Thanks to the superbly talented FrozenSoldier for the absolutely perfect banner.

She happens to be stuck on the side of the road, car engine smoking.  He happens to be driving back from a conference.  Can an accidental meeting really mean a second chance at happiness?  Or . . . not?

 "I . . . I'm waiting for someone.  He should be here shortly."  Dammit Catherine, you have to do better than that.

 "He went to, uh, go to the bathroom." Stupid.  I tried to figure out if I could make it past him.  I wondered how long it would be before I would see anyone else on the trail.  He didn't look very big, maybe my height.  I think I could get around him if I faked him to the right and then went left . . .

"No.  I don't believe he did."

"Yes, he's just over . . ."

He was a mere step in front of me before I finished my blink.  "No, you're traveling alone.  Not very prudent.  You never know who you might meet . . . in a place like this."

His hand reached out to caress my face.  I couldn't move.  I should've jumped his hand was so cold, but I didn't, as he brought it across my cheek, down across my jawbone, stopping on my neck.  I could feel his breath as he leaned in and whispered,

 "I'll be waiting for you."

Note:  While this is first and foremost a love story, it contains dark themes, language, and some lemons.  If you are sensitive to rape or sexual assault, I suggest you do not not read.

Thanks to Alexis Danaan for her rib-cracking wit, superhuman writing skills, general greatness, and for keeping an old, I mean more mature, chick writing.

Thanks to my pal Megan, the rabid Twins fan, for her editing prowess, secret workplace meetings to discuss, um, work, and for not blushing when talking about . . . well, you'll see.

And to my Bossman, who as a male familiar with Twilight, lied and said he wanted to read this, and for enduring all of the lovey-dovey shit.

A thousand thank yous to all who voted for this little fic, and to the judges for a fantabulous contest.

Lieutenant Colonel Cullen, a Silver Star Award recipient, buries the grief of his personal loss in order to serve his country. Upon the tenth anniversary of the death of his brother, he looks forward to retirement. The constant fighting in Afghanistan has gotten to him, pushing him to the limit. His last mission finally provides him with peace.

Rated NC-17 for Adult Language and Images of War. 

How would Twilight have gone if Bella weren't an only child?

Bella and her fraternal twin brother Adam make the move to Forks during their junior year of high school. This story follows Bella and Adam through the events of Twilight, and shows what a difference having a sibling can make.

This is an AU version of Twilight, Bella's personality is slightly OOC

Dawn inherits a family estate in Texas. She goes through the attic and finds a trunk of family treasures that lead her to discover that her great-great…uncle is still walking the Earth as a vampire.

I know crossovers aren't the most popular around here, but I'm hoping you will give this one a chance.  I'm all about healing Jasper's emotional wounds and I think he needs some family to help him do that.

Both damaged, Edward and Bella meet and the chemistry is instantaneous.  Will she still love him when she discovers that he is the criminal defense attorney that got her rapist acquitted just two days before her attack?  Can he forgive himself enough to give her justice?
