Thank you, hellacullen, for the awesome banner!

Edward’s rebellious period didn’t last a few years; it lasted seventy.  A solitary hunter on the fringe of society, he stumbles across a young woman praying. Can he seduce her away from everything she's ever known? And will he be willing to fight for Bella instead of fighting against her?

AU, a bit OOC, canon couples.  Rated for lemons, violence and adult subject matter.

"But as time went on, I began to see the monster in my eyes. I couldn't escape the debt of so much human life taken, no matter how justified. And I went back to Carlisle and Esme. They welcomed me back like the prodigal. It was more than I deserved."
-Twilight, p. 343.

When Edward returns from his rebellious years, he finds everything has changed-including him. This is the story of Edward's "Da Capo:" ‘return to the beginning.'

Pre-Twilight canon, EPOV 3rd person.

Note from Admin: The blue ribbon awarded to this story means that it is a "featured" piece, recognized for excellence in content. It is one of the most culturally relevant, seriously deep, moving, unique, and important pieces of fanfiction that I have ever read.  -Roo, Validation Beta 

Bella Swan is homeless in one of the worst winters Seattle has ever seen. When trouble arises, she is saved by a knight in shining armor.

In his endeavor to help her, will he simplify her life, or complicate it beyond anything she could have ever foreseen.

Pairings are all part of the mystery . . .

Edward is content enough to see Bella a few times a year after she has chosen Jacob. Then, something not altogether unexpected happens and Edward is able to help Bella cope with her new circumstances...and perhaps able to win her heart again.

Excerpt from Chapter Four:

She looked up at me from behind the steering wheel, her expression poised between tenderness and curiosity.  “I keep thinking I’ll wake up, Edward.  I hope I’m not dreaming. I don’t think I could bear waking up again.”

In an instant, I was kneeling beside her, her face cupped in my palm.  The heat from her skin was a delicious sensation, the burning in my throat its inevitable price, but one I was more than willing to pay.  “You’re awake, love,” I murmured fervently, willing her to trust me though I didn’t really deserve it. I would try to earn that trust back. I had to.  “You are.  I’ll never be far from you again, if you’ll let me stay.”

Thanks Roo, for the amazing banner!

Here's another amazing pic that fits in with Dark Side of the Moon perfectly -thank you to JohannaL for ID'ing the author:  http://smirks-works.livejournal.com/ check out her (I assume) other manips - she's a genius!

Updated November, 2009

This story is now COMPLETE!

Dark Side of the Moon is my version of New Moon from Edward’s point of view.  Witness how Edward agonized over leaving Bella, hunted for Victoria, faced the Volturi, and came to realize that with Bella was where he was meant to be. 

This tormented story has been a part of my life for about a year and a half – and what a ride it’s been!  Meant to be canon and in character, I hope you enjoy angsty Edward and his suffering during New Moon.  As unhappy as Bella was during this time, Edward suffered so much more (I think).  So be sure and crack open a fresh box of tissues before reading!

 Thank you to everyone for all the reviews, especially to those of you who reviewed each and every chapter!  Your support and loyalty have been the driving force to me getting this project finished – and I hope it’s lived up to all of your expectations.

Love you all,

PS.  As one last thank you, I’ve posted a formatted, printable copy of Dark Side of the Moon at http://bit.ly/2vLHMi, as will also post as an electronic version suitable for viewing on a kindle or MobiReader.  I’m also posting a ‘Director’s Cut’ that includes citations of all of Bella’s quotes from Twilight, research notes, and even funny comments from my betas in this version in the same directory.
