Bella, a struggling student at Arizona State, returns to her dorm room one afternoon to find her boyfriend in bed with her roommate. Unable to look at either of them, she moves out of her dorm, seeking refuge at her parents' place until she can find another room to move to.

Since it’s halfway through the semester, there are no other rooms available, so she takes to the classifieds. Just how good is the view being advertised? 

AH - Bella/Edward

Romance/Humor

Rated NC-17 for language, adult situations, and later, lemons . . . because this is fanfiction after all.

When Edward returns to Bella of his own accord, he does not realise that just a few hours earlier she nearly drowned in an attempt to hear his voice. He soon finds that the girl he came back to is indeed very much altered from the girl he left behind, and that it takes more than saying sorry to rebuild their lives.

"His agony defines him. His memories destroy him.

But his hope is what sustains him, feeds him, encourages him. It's his purpose. And he doesn't deny it.

Offered the chance to leave all pain and misery behind, Edward knew that it was better to suffer his loss than to forget it. For in having it, Bella remains his and only his.

To forget would be the ultimate betrayal, abandoning her once again to a world of lonliness and despair. He had already done that once upon a time, and he did so spectacularly.

He'll find her. He has to. 

HE HAS TO."

His question brought Bella back down from cloud nine. She glowered at him. “Bite me.”

A slow, wicked grin etched itself on Edward’s face. “I don’t think you’d want me to,” he whispered darkly, laughing silently at the irony of her insult.

-

“I know I smelled an open wound, Bella,” Alice said sternly. Behind her, Carlisle and Edward exchanged a look.

Bella scoffed slightly. “Believe me, I felt it,” she told her as she tried to stand.

-

“You don’t understand,” Edward said in a deadly tone.

Bella stared at him for a moment, a bitter expression overcoming her features. “There’s something for me to understand?”

-

“Fuck her!” she heard one of them call.

“Oh, I will,” the man above her answered.

-

Her smile faded after a moment when she realized something. “Oh, great,” she started grumpily, “we match.”

Edward grinned lopsidedly. “Indeed, we do,” he replied.

-

“You’re funny,” Edward said dryly. “I bet you wouldn’t be saying the same thing if you were the one who turned up missing.”

“Are you trying to scare me, Mr. Cullen?” Bella asked as she snapped a picture.

-
  
"Bella, listen to me,” he tried coaxing her gently.

“No!” Bella shouted, pulling her arms out of his grip. “I never want to see you again. Stay away from me,” she said through clenched teeth, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

-

He cupped her face with both hands while looking into her eyes. “If you don’t find me, who’s killed before, whose diet consists of blood, repulsive, how can I look at you in that way?” he asked her softly.

-

"What kind of man are you?!” Bella pushed and slapped his chest as she raged. She was becoming unhinged.

-
  
“Bella, don’t come,” her mother said weakly. “Whatever he says, don’t come—” 

“No! That’s not what you’re supposed to say!” a voice exclaimed in the background.

A tear escaped Bella’s eye as she listened to her mother’s cries as he hit her.

-

Edward nodded. “You’re safe now, Bella,” he told her tenderly as he softly massaged her cheek.

High School Senior, Bella Swan, couldn't be happier with her life with Jake. Enter: the new guy.

 Feelings emerge, relationship dynamics change & battle lines are drawn.

 Edward & Bella have their issues to endure, like any other "normal" couple. While out hunting after a particularly ugly disagreement, Edward changes--more than just his mind on what he had done.

With a new life ahead of him, he is determined to make Bella as happy as she deserves. However, fate steps in uninvited, and deals an ugly hand.

Will time work with Edward or against him in his attempt to make things right?

AU-"what if" Twilight re-telling.

We've all turned the pages on the four blank months in New Moon. Edward left Bella in the woods and told her didn't want her anymore; his arrogance expected that she would just move on with her life. What he never expected was that she wouldn't be able to move on any more than he would. An angry Bella is something he couldn't fathom. What he didn't take into account is that Bella believes that true love is worth fighting for, and she's going to fight to keep Edward and her family. The Cullen abandonment hurt her deeply, but she's turned that pain into rage. What will happen when Bella decides to let them know she's not willing to let them walk away and leave her behind? How will they handle one mere human girl that's extremely pissed off, and willing to do whatever takes to bring them back? The saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" has never rang more true. Bella's angry and on the warpath. Not even a clan of vampires will be able to stop her.

"My heart may have fractured when he left me, but I adamantly refuse to let it shatter. I'm stronger than that, and I'm ready to get nasty. This is going to be a side your family has never seen out of me. I hope you're prepared, because when I'm done taking your stupid, arrogant brother down a few notches, I'm coming after you. Yes, you heard me correctly. You may be small, fast, and graceful, but I'm filled with enough rage at this point to go vampire on your pixie, ballerina ass!"  ~Bella - Chapter 2: Voicemails

This story begins by re-imagining a favorite scene from Eclipse, in which Edward and Bella are stuck in a blizzard and must call on Jacob to keep Bella warm.  The original scene hints at Bella's curiosity, Edward's awareness, and Jacob's lust, and the possibilities that lie within that love triangle.  This version asks, what if Bella took what she wanted? What if Edward's long-dormant humanity were finally sparked? And what if Jacob's fantasy finally came true?

"Anything I had ever felt, allowed myself to feel, had been only a hint, a taste, a glimmer of that all-consuming heat.  That heat that Bella had plunged me headlong into, mercilessly immersing me in Jacob’s subconscious, ruthlessly repaying me for her months of frustration.  Teaching me desire in one cold, confusing night."

happy to see my local Blockbuster advertising my fic for me:
