Bella Swan is twenty-seven years old, newly single, and mom to an adorable Kindergarten student with a knack for accidents. On a typical, fall afternoon, she experiences the shock of her life during a casual conversation with her son. When an unexpected revelation leads to the most emotional reunion imaginable, how will Bella reconcile the path her life has taken with the past she never chose? Takes place nearly ten years post New Moon. Canon - AU. ExB

AU. Based off the events in the beginning of New Moon. Edward did not tell the truth when he left Bella in the woods five years ago. Struggling to make a life without him, Bella finds herself still alone in an entirely different forest. But what happens if they are accidentally reunited? What was the lie that Edward told?  What will Bella do when she finds out?  Rated NC-17 for language and sexual situations

A chance encounter leads to an odd attraction that develops into an addiction.

 There are so many things about this woman that fascinate me.  She's beautiful.  Classically beautiful at that.  Intelligent.  Articulate.  Witty.  She's everything any man could ever dream of or want.  Except I don't even know her name.

Warnings:  Lemons.  Lots of lemons.  Actually, more like Mike's Hard Lemonade.  Mild D/s.

EPOV. Edward is having trouble balancing his urges for Bella's blood and Bella's body before the wedding. What started out as a simple "Practice Fic" has become a retelling of BD from EPOV that lets us see just how much he struggles for control at every turn.

Warning: Edward's got issues. Some dark images and angst, but nothing too bad and quickly giving way to steamy goodness.

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.

Use of the dialog from the series is just for clarity - Stephenie Meyer owns all things twilight!  I'm making absolutely nothing from this work.

This is a series of missing moments from Breaking Dawn, starting with the wedding night at Isle Esme.

Will include Edward's POV when Bella realizes she's pregnant, and many other scenes that we missed during 'Book 2' - Jacob's perspective.  Most chapters will be Edward POV, but some will be Bella POV as well.

***PLEASE NOTE:  This story is on a temporary hiatus until I've completed my other multichaptered fic, In Pursuit of Normalcy.  I apologize for the inconvenience, but I encourage all my readers to check out IPoN.***

Thank you so much to achelle131 for the gorgeous banner!
