After saving Bella from the killer van, Edward retreated into stony silence, refusing to acknowledge her existence. Twilight tells us how she coped, but what if something had happened behind the scenes to complicate matters? Written for The Canon Tour - Twilight Round.

To the outside world, it would seem as if Bella Black has everything. On what should have been a blissful evening, her life turns upside down and falls apart. As doctors race to find a way to fix the hole in her daughter's heart, can Edward Cullen fix the hole in Bella's?

Isabella has been a vampire for nearly as long as she can remember. She has no humanity left after two millennia, and the only one who could ever revive even a little of her humanity is lying somewhere in the North Atlantic, or so she believes.  Upon returning to visit her old friends, Carlisle and Jasper, she tells the story of how she fell in love for the first time on the ship that was destined to sink.

However, what would happen if the man she once loved is not dead?

Will their love rekindle?

Or will it sink like the ship where it all began?

Morning finds Edward and Bella happy to live in each perfect moment. Surrounded by loving family and loyal allies. Their path to a bright future seems clear, but the darkest nights cast the longest shadows. What happens when the past refuses to die?

Bella makes the decision to leave Phoenix forever after a tragic accident. Seeking a fresh start, she heads to the small town of Forks to live with Charlie. The cold numbness that has imprisoned Bella's heart begins to subside when she finds herself falling for the only person at Forks High School capable of tearing down her walls.

Canon pairings, AU for loosely following Twilight original plot. Some angst -- especially in the beginning.

I think the title sort of speaks for itself, but if not: Edward & Jasper are Private Detectives in NYC. Nemeses, but forced to work together to save a young girl from a horrible fate. This is Jasper/Edward slash, but not too heavy on the slash.

With the battle between The Cullen family and friends and the Volturi coming to a life changing end, new ties are made. Nema found Seth, and through the magic of imprinting their love flourished, but with jealousy filling the air will their love for one another be enough? Rasika imprinted on Antonia, a former member of the Volturi guard. They completed and healed the hurt from each other’s past, but will Antonia’s blood lust destroy their relationship?  When Renesmee returns to Forks, can she endure the secrets her friends have been keeping? And can she and Jake manage to forget the past and find their way back to each other? As Claire’s feelings start to change for Quil a bit earlier than he expected, will he be ready or will he let the chance to be with Claire get away?  Also, when tragedy strikes, how will the group cope? Up until now, no one has seen or heard from Aro and Nahuel since they escaped from the battle.  What will the group do if they come back to retaliate?

***This is the sequel to both What Lies Ahead and Growing Up Volturi. It is not necesarry to have read these stories first.***

Growing Up Volturi: After the almost war with the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn, Aro’s curiosity and desire to have hybrids in his guard leads him to Mexico City to find Nahuel’s sisters and father. Nahuel’s younger sister Antonia, a powerful telepath even as a baby, is only a year old when she arrives in Italy and is raised by her sister Hunter and Aro. She joins the guard when she is six, but soon becomes unhappy with the direction her life is heading in as a member of the elite guard and Aro’s executioner. Nahuel goes to the Volturi to start another war with the Cullen’s and during this fight for her survival she is imprinted on by Sam’s half sister, Rasika. Rasika was born and raised in London after her father left Sam’s mother. He left her mother soon after he found out about her pregnancy. At sixteen Rasika’s adopted father and mother moved her family to Toronto. When she was nineteen a nomadic vampire in Toronto prompted her transformation into a wolf.

When a threat from the Volturi came the family was thrown into turmoil and forced once again to face the Volturi in a fight.  With the Volturi not taking no for an answer, the family was forced to set their one final plan into action.  They sent Nessie and Jacob to Florida, safely out of harm’s way.  While settling into life with her grandmother, Renee, Nessie received the news that three of her friends were killed in battle.  Guilt and sadness transformed her into someone that she could no longer recognize, and she suppressed anything involving the past.  All she ever wanted was to return home to her family and friends, but when the call came she was too distraught to face them, sending Jacob on the journey home alone.
