*Takes place during New Moon in an alternate universe.

On March 16, 2006,  the World changed, and everything and anything that the Cullens ever cared about was lost. They had to find their own way in this New World. Edward never wished to exist in a world where Bella didn't.  Unfortunately, his family desperately needed him, so he'd stay to help them.   And by doing so, he hoped to redeem himself for his failure to save the one creature he couldn't protect. 

With rumours in the South of humans feeding off the living and stealing people from their beds, the Cullens have a responsibility to protect the ones they can from those monsters in the night.  This was Edward's last chance to fight for his soul and his salvation.  He would finally be ready to face Judgement day and be deemed worthy enough to be with Bella once again.  Or would something or someone change the path he was destined to go down?  Faith, hope and love are powerful things, and Edward is about to find out just how powerful they are.

Yes... this is the story that is set during a post-apocalyptic nuclear war. Just try the Prologue to get a feel for it before passing judgment. You might be surprised. Warning: There is violence and disturbing images the further the story goes along.

What if the first time Bella dreamed of Edward she wasn't really dreaming. Would their growing relationship be tainted by what had already occured?

Based on the 'that was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen' deleted scene from the Twilight DVD.

Bella's family is attacked by vampires when she is young, leaving her the sole survivor. Rescued by Dr Carlisle Cullen, she is adopted into his 'vegetarian' family, consisting of him, his wife Esme and their three sons Emmett, Edward and Jasper. Struggling with her trauma, Bella finds herself developing special bonds with each of the Cullen boys.

This story has no Alice or Rosalie (or at least, not as vampires or Cullens).

Edward left Bella in a misguided attempt to save her. Years later, Bella crosses paths with the Cullen family during her University studies and her world is turned upside down with the potential of her love's return and a renewed danger that threatens to end it all. Will Edward have to save her, or will she manage to save herself?

Messier Object-82 is a galaxy with two black holes at its center. Alice’s life has two black holes, James and Victoria, at its center, sucking up everyone she loves. It all starts when James comes across her scent just a little too early. Knowing that she is his singer, she is forced to flee from her parents in order to stay alive. Her visions lead her to Jasper and then Carlisle, but when Jasper takes off to confront James, Alice feels like she has lost yet another important person in her life to the all-consuming black hole. And when Victoria gets hold of Alistair, will Carlisle leave her, too, in order to save his friends?

What if Emmett, not Edward was the single vamp out? Edward and Bella met while she was human, they married, had Nessie and Bella was changed; all while Emmett remained single. No Rosalie. Now ten years after Nessie is born the Cullens move to Hanover, New Hampshire to start college and come across an exotic young beauty that captures Emmett's heart. Who is Gabrielle and why does Emmett feel so drawn to her? Can Edward and Bella help him understand these strange new feelings, and will his story have a happy ending?

Bella's heart is damaged so severely from a lingering childhood illness; she has been told she will die, short of a heart transplant or a miracle.  Edward is a vampire who struggles with abstaining from human blood, but encounters in Bella, his Yuletide Canticle while Christmas shopping.  What happens when hopelessness and hunger collide?  How do you give life to the very one whose blood sings to you like no other?

Bella always had dreams of things happening around her. What if she had a dream after her birthday party of Edward leaving? What would change?

Submission to The Canon Tour's New Moon Round

"Two paths diverge in a forest, each as unique as the eyes that gaze down them." A white bearded man appeared beside her, hands clasped behind his back and the nipping wind ruffling the deep plum velvet of his robes. Bella knew that she should be startled by the ancient man's sudden and unexplained appearance, but she remained at ease under his twinkling cobalt eyes. "One may only go forward and never back. The past has shaped this very road— every curve and bend, every bump and dip, every rock and weed. Through pain, love, and joy the road was forged. Its path can never remain straight for eternity, for then the wanderer would not have experienced the beautifully sweet agony that is life. To choose your path in life is to accept doubt, as everyone doubts their choices .To live— truly live— is to question yourself. Every man, woman, and child— be they muggle or wizard is doomed to that fate."

The elderly man pointed a gnarled finger toward the moss-laden trail. "To the right…"

Bella squinted in confusion as a tall figure came to the crest before hesitating beneath the shade of a large pine. "…Is one path you may travel. Shall it lead you to days of pleasure and joy, or sorrow and heartbreak? Rest assured, child. It will lead you to every last one. In the many years I've walked the earth, never was I truly sure of the outcomes of my ventures. Never once was I completely certain of the choices I've made. The only thing you can do is weigh your options and choose accordingly.

Bella’s managed to get through university and avoided seeing Renee during that time. Though her newborn years were nothing like what the Cullens had been prepared for, Bella was different, she had changed. It was a difference that any mother would notice. It was time. And with Charlie’s help, Bella was going to end her life. Well … kind of.

In a moment of weakness, Jasper snaps at Bella during her birthday. How does the slip that last for less than second affect him and his wife? Pull up a chair at the Cullen family meeting that happened after Edward took Bella home.

Seven chapters, one for each Cullen, based on the lives they lead as humans. Why is it that neither Carlisle Cullen, Jasper Whitlock, Esme Platt, Edward Masen, Alice Brandon, Rosalie Hale, nor Emmett McCarty had happy, carefree lives before they became immortal? Is it the times they lived in?
