When Bella and Edward meet the first day of High School, he is a chubby misfit with no friends in a new town, aside from his popular cousins.  He meets Bella Swan, a well-liked, if uncoordinated, local with problems of her own.  This is the story of their friendship, their loss, their love and destruction.  Can they find their way back to each other?  And can they survive the changes they have both gone through since the fateful day they met?

HUGE THANKS TO ATHENALOVE and READERGOOF FOR THE AMAZING BANNERS!

Bella takes a vacation to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to meet Alice's new boyfriend, Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett come along, too, just in case Bella didn't feel like enough of a fifth wheel. With Jasper's roommate out of town, Bella has his nice big bed all to herself. Until Edward comes home in the middle of the night...

Bella never jumped, Edward never returned - but Victoria did. Not even the intervention of the wolf-pack can stop her from attacking Bella. Now entering her first year of college, Bella has some major decisions to make about her life.

Edward's family hire Bella Swan to break the heartbreaker's heart in hopes to have him see the error of his womanizing ways. Bella realizes that they have a little too much in common and is having a little too much fun with this subject. EXB Lots of lemons later.

A running smutline of Edward and Bella's honeymoon . . . and everything afterwards.

When Edward first sees Bella, he never suspects that she is different, that she is blind. How will he handle it? This is a story of differences, overcoming obstacles, rebuilding relationships, loss and above all; finding love.

Now Complete!

Bella’s blood was just too tempting to be ignored.  In this version of Twilight, Edward takes Bella on a sadistic journey with his monstrous side.  While Edward drags her around the world, barely keeping a step ahead of his frantic family, Bella battles the monster for possession of the gentler vampire inside her captor.  EPOV.

“There was no other blood like this.  Once she was gone, it would no longer be within my grasp.  But if I stopped now, she would heal.  Her body would make more.  The blood would replenish.  I could drink again.  The promise of more – it was the only incentive that could have caused me to stop.”

We always want what we can't have, but their love for each other was so much more than just temptation. He was the eager young teacher, Bella's friend and her inspiration in a high school world where she didn't quite fit. She was the bright young woman who took Edward completely by surprise, his saving grace after years of closing himself off from life and love. When their days are turned upside down by their secret relationship, will they find a way to be together?

Rated for subject matter and sexually explicit material in later chapters. Huge thanks to Anne Cullen for the awesome new banner and to m81170 the beautiful fan art/banner below! You are both amazing!  

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...

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.

Summary: AU. A powerful group of humans know of the existence of vampires and werewolves and strict rules are in place for the uneasy coexistence between the three kinds. Transforming humans without tacit permission is banned and all violators and victims are ordered destroyed. Bella was attacked when she was eight years old but miraculously survived. She returns to Forks during her junior year in high school and encounters the Olympic Coven. Against her will, she is drawn to Edward Cullen and into the dangerous world of shifting loyalties and deadly intrigue.

Thanks to JO (Cullenitis) for the AWESOME banner!

Thanks to another JO (sleepyjo at ffnet) for reading and editing the first 13(!) chapters.

Please direct your thanks to her for saving you from the whiplash that is born from my confused tenses and wonky grammar.

Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly.  As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?

To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.

Show and Don't Tell.
