Once upon a time in a small diner in Philadelphia...

Who might have witnessed Alice and Jasper's first meeting?  How about we play a little game called Six Degrees of Separation?

Carlisle worries that Jasper isn’t bonding with the family. When Alice goes on a shopping trip with the girls, Jasper suffers.

This story has Alice/Jasper relationship and Carlisle and Jasper friendship. Hurt/comfort and angst are the main genres for this story.

This story can stand alone, but I would like it to become part of a series open to other authors. The title of the series would be “Growth” and should address moments of Edward’s growth, from teenager angst to adulthood. This first story is called “A man at last” and is written in Carlisle's POV. It describes the last moment of growth, at the end of Breaking Dawn, recalling briefly what the other steps were.

Bella Swan always thought she hated Edward Cullen, until she spends an afternoon with him that changes her mind. After that fateful outing their relationship blooms and she falls for him. When they spend a night together and he leaves without a word, can Bella ever mend her broken heart and prove to Edward that she doesn't need him? 

Warning! slightly OOC, It's a B/E story-usual pairings but there is some B/OC too, and rated NC-17 for crude language, underage drinking/smoking and smut in later chapters.

Bella, Emmett and Jasper are siblings.  Bella has just returned home to Seattle after being abroad for over a year.  Bella is a profiler for the FBI and has been pursuing a serial killer that turns out to be someone that no one would suspect.  ExB, EmxR (eventually), JxA.  Rated NC-17 for later chapters.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Edward never returned after leaving in New Moon. Now, 72 years later, he returns for his final good-bye. BxE Oneshot

Bella attempts to live a normal life after Edward and the Cullen's leave her. Finding herself face to face with an Edward look a like, Andy Masen, she hasn't a clue how he will lure her back into the world of the undead. She will learn how the vampire came into existence, and the political war that is stirring in the bowels of the vampire world. She must chose her side, either with her newfound friend, Andy, or the love of her life, Edward. Where do her allegiances lie? Join Bella on the painstaking journey, and the ride of her life, that may just lead to the end of it. 

Summary:  Bella and Edward were the best of friends.  Then they crossed into the more than friends category and things got complicated.  Edward is desperate to keep things uncomplicated, but that just makes matters even worse.  What do you do when you think you have everything you could possibly want, but realize that you don't really have anything at all???

Who is Esme Cullen? Her family and friends might think they know. But the quiet, obedient little wife lived through Hell and came back from death to start a new life. As she starts over again, even she learns more about herself and how to be her own person. Occurs in a universe where Twilight has happened, but New Moon has not. A story for my favorite fanfic author, who said Esme was boring. Photo by David

It is 1918. Edward is dying in a Chicago hospital.

He'd never thought about how he was going to die. Not really.

For Bethaboo and TheEdwardEmmett's 'Make it Count' contest.

It's just a normal day in the life of me, Bella Swan, until I get fired from my waitressing job, so – of course – I called my best friend, Alice, to tell her the news, except it turns out that I didn't actually call Alice – I accidentally dialed the wrong number, and ended up talking to this mysterious stranger with a deep, rich voice who just happens to want to be my anonymous phone friend.

Yeah. Just a completely normal day. Right.

Excerpt:

I froze, my spine straightening against the bench as I shot up against its back. “Um, who is this?”

There was silence, and then the man chuckled. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"
