This story is a series of snapshots taken between chapter 32 of Zenith and the Epilogue. It will make little sense if you have not read Zenith, and it's full of spoilers, so I would suggest reading that story first.

I look down to see a ring made of wood.  The band is wide and stained a bright red. Down the center runs an intricate engraving of symbols that I don’t recognize but find beautiful in their strength.  I trace them with a fingertip.

“What’s this?”

"A promise ring."

Something has driven Edward back to his family in Forks after two decades of hunting humans. A vision of a beautiful brunette following him into the forest has his venom pooling for her scent.

Bella is a college student living in Seattle when she meets the dark and alluring brother of her friend Alice. She is pulled to him and cannot seem to tear herself away from him.

Two who are alike but different, being forced together by circumstances out of their control, and also being driven apart by those same forces. Can they overcome the cruel fate the Universe has dealt them?

 This story contains: Humour, Romance and angst, Fangs, leather jackets, wolves, and glowing green eyes. It also contains Badassward, Dirtyward and Backbone-ella. Beware curse words abound!

A Collaboration between Mysty1234 & Truefan

Separated by years, yet tied to each other through the birth of a child, Edward and Bella struggle to work together when confronted with the unthinkable.

At the last possible moment, Edward is unable to entrust Bella to anyone else after the baseball game and appearance of James - even if being the one to protect her means kidnapping her and making her, for all intents and purposes, his prisoner.

This is a one shot, taking place in February after Edward left. Bella is in despair, and in a moment of weakness, considers and plans suicide. No blood, no death.

What if, on that fateful day in the ballet studio, James and Bella realized they were intrigued by and attracted to one another? Would it be Stockholm or destiny? What would Edward do if he could find no traces of either of them when he got to the studio? James/Bella, Bella/Edward. Splits from canon after Bella goes to the ballet studio in Twilight.

AU.  Can a vampire love again when his true mate's existence has been ended?  Can a young woman stay human when she loves a vampire?

From Banners

Banner by the talented CherBella!

Carlisle comes to Forks before the rest of the Cullens, meeting Bella Swan – predictably – in the ER.  Their romance is allowed to flourish away from the rest of the Cullen family...until Edward catches her scent.  

Not a romantic triangle.

MB is for Masters in Business

Supposedly.

MB is for Multiple Bed-hopping

A subject that Bella never intended to major in. A night of preterm revelry makes her blush to meet Emmett’s eye, but Edward is looking better every day. Hopefully Business Studies includes a minor in boyfriend embezzlement—a skill Bella will need if she's to keep hold of Edward.

MB is for Misbehaving Boyfriend 

Edward didn’t intend to be unfaithful – he never thought he’d find one woman who wanted him, let alone two. But since he can’t even pick a major, how can he choose a girlfriend?

MB is for Misleading Behavior

Emmett might be a jokester, but he has more secrets than the CIA. Including one whammy that could get him expelled. What would happen if Rosalie found out?

MB is for Marriage Bait

Rosalie's goal is perfection: perfect marks, perfect six-figure salary, perfect (I.e. rich, gorgeous, sexy) New York banker husband. . .candidate already identified as Royce King the Third. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans…

MB is for Mysterious Behavior

Which Alice's favorite hobby-- aside from fashion, that is. And then there's her interest in Jasper, but we'll file that under Extra-curricular Activities for now.

MB is for Mister Brooding

Aka, Jasper. His sullen but fine looks attract every girl in the class, but there's only one he has his eyes on. What will happen when he pulls in a major favor from his ex to save Alice? The only thing that’s certain is that Maria will not be pleased.

After their explosive reunion in Atlanta, Edward and Bella must learn to adjust to their life together and their new found fame. But will a growing shadow overtake their happiness?

Sometimes your life doesn’t follow a straight path, as was the case for Bella Swan, whose life twisted and turned. What happens when a series of events sends her on a completely different path? How will she get back to her destiny? AH, OOC, M for potty mouths and lemons.

During a chance return to Forks, Bella Swan runs into her high school crush only to discover that things were never as they appeared.  What has Edward been waiting for all this time?

Bella and Alice are on an extended visit to Australia. A combination of homesickness and patriotism see them meeting up with some U.S. Military forces personnel on shore leave. An overheard conversation, a little deception, can all be forgiven?

A short story of a boy who falls in love the night of his neighbor's slumber party. Watch them grow from kids to young adults.
