*Alternate Ending to New Moon* Consumed by worry about Bella’s depression, Charlie drags her to counseling with a Quileute psychologist, Dr. Nina Carlton. Unbeknownst to Bella, Nina has wolfish relatives in Forks, a past with Charlie, and a shield of her own. When Alice sees Bella throwing herself into harm's way, Edward races back to Forks. He is torn between staying out of Bella's life, as promised, and saving her from peril. Through a journey forged in therapy, friendship, and the support of their parents, Bella and Edward will learn important lessons about themselves and their love.

Bella and Mike wed four years ago and their marriage hasn't exactly been the picture of bliss. A carefully guarded secret surfaces, destroying an already fragile Bella. Everything she knew was a lie, everything she wanted for her life, wiped out with the click of a mouse. An E x B story.

Warning: There is mention of past sexual assault, crappy childhoods, an even crappier marriage, and some very prevalent social issues (that I’m not going to mention here, because it would defeat the purpose of reading the story).

Excerpt: I looked at the clock again, 5:44.  Jesus Christ, did time stand still? Those fourteen minutes felt like fourteen hours.  As the moments ticked by, my palms began to sweat and a nervous pressure mounted in my chest. It's not the end of the world Bella; just the end of your marriage...and everything you knew. God, how was I going to do this? People up and left their spouses on a daily basis and never looked back. Of course, how many of them were under these same circumstances, I wondered.  How many women were faced with leaving the man they loved because he'd woven a lie so hurtful? When it finally surfaced, did it kill them?

Both damaged, Edward and Bella meet and the chemistry is instantaneous.  Will she still love him when she discovers that he is the criminal defense attorney that got her rapist acquitted just two days before her attack?  Can he forgive himself enough to give her justice?

Bella Swan was leading a pretty normal life. A couple months shy of her eighteenth birthday, she learns her parents made a deal with the king of England. Now she's forced to move there and to meet the prince, Edward Cullen. What's his secret?

Thank you to the fabulous heatherdawnc for this beautiful banner!

SEQUEL TO ENCORE.  Catch up with the gang just a few months after Encore left off--everyone is moving into new places, and slowly moving on with their lives. Will they be prepared to deal with what lies just around the bend?

Edward Cullen was a loner, an outcast. He clearly hated everybody, including himself. He was not a nice person. So, why was I so drawn to him? And why did I get the crazy feeling he felt the same way?

WARNING: This story will deal with the aftermath of child abuse and rape. If that bothers you too much, I strongly recommend that you don’t read.

Thanks to steffyxxface for the lovely banner!

Bella Swan is a writer for a Women's Magazine in Florida, a magazine that she writes the self help column for...Something she really wants to escape. The good news, she is escaping self help, the bad news, she's covering the lives of women behind sports stars...In Denver.

Here she meets three amazing women; the girlfriend, fiance, and wife to two players and the coach of the team, but what will happen when the team superstar, Edward, takes an interest in Bella?

Warnings: It's NC-17, so basically... Smut, Language.

Sequel to She Speaks Fear & Truth. With Bella as the new ghost-hunting member of Edward's team, will her abilities put them in harms way? Through every case, we get a glimpse into their growing relationship and attempt to overcome their most challenging test--fighting time and death.

Sequel to Blackout. Bella has experienced an unexpected heartache and returns to Charlie's farm hoping to move on with her life and is met with a reunion that she never could have anticipated.

With many thanks to FrozenSoldier for my beautiful banner. You are amazing.

Bella is about to leave for college and pursue her dream of becoming a teacher, but an unexpected complication leaves her plans in ashes as she struggles to pick up the pieces of her broken life.

Edward pulls a Forrest Gump and runs at a most inappropriate time. When he and Bella reconnect five years later, can Bella forgive him enough to give him a chance or is it too late? Canon pairings, NC-17 for future lemons and mature subject matter.

The Cullens are the picture of the perfect family, but behind the wealth and charm, they are hiding something -- something that will be discovered by Isabella Swan when she meets a broken, troubled boy and learns that even perfection can be imperfect.
