When Bella and Edward hook up at a party their lives quickly become complicated, causing a rift in their close knit circle of friends. Despite the fallout, they can’t stay away from each other. Neither of them are able to admit the depths of their feelings for the other and when Edward has to leave for Italy and Bella realizes she’s attracted to her friend Claire, their already shaky relationship is in danger of falling apart.

This is ultimately a Bella/Edward story but there are non-canon pairs initially and later in the story there is a Bella/Claire slash pairing for a portion of the story. If this is something you aren't comfortable with, please disregard this story. Rated for language/underage drinking/lemons.

Ideal romance only happens in the movies.  If Bella could just go off-script, she might find that perfection exists within the most obvious flaws.  ExB, AH.

To whom it may concern:

As I understand it, the blossoming of conscience intellect is such that at any given time, a scenario can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. As you may—or may not—be aware, Bella had a story to tell.

She told it.

It is at this point that the aforementioned scenario comes into play. In the spring term of 2008, I met Bella swan for the first time. In 2012, three years after her change, a horrific incident occurred. This event was so traumatic, so life-altering, that it broke my sweet angel.

Had it not been for the unparalleled cognitive prowess of our kind I might not have been able to save her. When she awoke, the reality of our past together had been altered so that she forgot the events of the most bloody vampire war ever recorded in the annals of Volterra.

Now, three centuries later, I think I am ready to explain what really happened. Please be aware: this is not the story Bella told. It is fraught with violence, sex, torture, death but most of all—it explains in excruciating detail the story of how my angel pulled me back from the bowels of hell and the brink of insanity.

Here it is.

One handful.

Our story.

—Edward Anthony Cullen

After fighting for fifty-five years, Edward returned to the one place he could call home. Jaded and angry, he festered in his own damnation, hating Carlisle for his forgiveness and mercy. One day – in August of 2008 – Edward met a soul that was, quite possibly, more broken than he was. In that second, Edward resolved to save this human…no matter the cost. Fighting his bloodlust, struggling to regain his humanity and attempting control a new gift, Edward attempted to forge a new relationship with a human who had awakened the humanity which had lain dormant within him.

But not all is well in Forks. A new war is brewing in the vampire world. Unexpectedly, just as his relationship with Bella came to fruition, Edward was thrown back into the world of violence, corruption and greed in the worst way possible.  With the help of one lone human, The Cullen alliance must face and defeat the most powerful force that the vampire world had ever seen. Now, amongst the war and death that is ravishing the world around him, Edward and Bella must make a choice.

Salvation or Damnation?

*I realize that this list is pretty extensive.
