Lizzie Black left La Push the moment she turned 18, determined to outrun the pain that she felt after her Dad and siblings were hit straight on by a drunk driver and killed. Three years later she's returned, having been called home after her mother committed suicide. While packing up her Mom's room she finds her bucket list, along wth letters to Edward. She decides to do all of the things on the list her Mom never got to, finishing it for her.

Edward Cullen has lived as a nomad since he left Bella. His family and he have little contact, but that could be about to change. Who knew one little list could mean so much?

Warning: This story deals with suicide and mental health issues. If that upsets you, please don't read.

Ten years ago, circumstance interrupted their destiny.  Now it's time for everyone to go back to Forks for their 10 year high school reunion to face their past with hesitation, hope and maybe even regret.  Can they reclaim what was lost?  All human.

Edward is no stranger to new towns and new schools. In his seventeen years, he's been dragged all across the country by his parents, Peter and Liz Masen. With no siblings, no real friends, and no place to truly call "home," Edward gets used to living life as a solitary teenager--until he moves to Washington. There he meets the Cullens and their friends—a beautiful, brilliant group of people who are both rejected and revered by their classmates. Edward reluctantly finds himself growing to like these people more and more...and finds himself having friends and, for the first time, feeling like he belongs. But just when everything settles down, his world is torn apart by a long-kept secret and an ongoing betrayal that will leave him questioning everything he's ever known.

Drama/Humor/Mystery/Angst-lite
Rated R/M (for language and sexual innduendo)

This is not an Edward/Emmett slash story however, there is a lot of Edward & Emmett togetherness.

Bella Swan meets a beautiful stranger, lawyer Edward Masen on a holiday in Rome. The chemistry is palpable, the sex passionate - and a physical relationship grows into something more. The days fly in a whirlwind of clothes, sand, sex and wine. After a painful realisation that the fantasy has come to an end, Bella returns apprehensively to Seattle, heartbroken at the loss of her love. 

But, little does she know that the 'beautiful stranger' isn't such a stranger, after all.

A surprise awaits Bella Swan in Seattle.

Rated for explicitly detailed sex scenes and language.

Beautifully accurate banner by the beautifully talented MrsC. Thank you!

Now a graduate student in Women's Studies, Bella isn't thrilled to see him. But when the Cullens re-enter Bella's life, they bring change, hope, and a new joint project that will require all their expertises.

Special Update:

For personal reasons (a ridiculously full teaching schedule and being recently put in charge of a bi-annual local conference and ongoing project), I am no longer able to reply to reviews and questions. But that said, I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYBODY for the wonderful feedback and kind words that have been sent my way since the completion of this story in August 2009. I do still check my messages about once every 1-2 weeks and read *every* review. I just have too many to reply to anymore, but I didn’t want anyone to think I was ignoring her/him in particular, or didn’t appreciate readers taking time to leave a review. Writing this story was tons of fun and I’m thrilled readers seem to enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the chance to write it. I can’t tell you how flattering that is!!! As I used to reply to all reviews, I feel a little badly about this decision, but work has been requiring virtually all of my time since the new (academic) year began.

Best to all of you in 2010 and beyond!

The trauma suffered by Bella for three years has left lasting mental scars.  Esme and Carlisle are finally offered the chance to be true parents to a teenager that needs them.  Surrounded by the support and love of the Cullen family, Bella begins to grow and finds out there is more to life than simply surviving.

Bella Swan spent the first two years of her life in Forks developing a friendship with Jacob Black that finally turned into something more.  As she begins her senior year of high school, a new family moves to town and Bella slowly begins to question the path she thought her life would follow.  Sometimes there is a difference between what you think you need and what you never knew you wanted.  Takes place during the timeframe of New Moon and Eclipse.  J/B at first, but eventually E/B. 

Who knew that three minutes in a closet could change your life? Bella Swan is dragged into a game of Spin the Bottle at a party and ends up in the basement closet with a complete stranger.

Will she find out who was her mystery man is? And after, what battles will they have to conquer to realize their love?

Bella Swan moves cross country to take a teaching job, trying to escape the man who broke her heart. Edward Cullen is the school's music teacher with secrets of his own. Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together trying to work through their issues and unexpected feelings for each other.

What if Edward didn't get to Bella before Tyler's van hit her...what if he responded to her blood...? What if he bit her? Where would they be, how would their lives change...a view into an alternate Twilight.

 "Bella smiled warmly at me then, unaware of my secrets and the silent threats they made on her life..."

Bella Swan is a highly eccentric art student in Seattle.

Edward Cullen is a mind-reading vampire, who is instantly drawn to her creative and colorful thoughts. (Yes, he can read her mind! Sort of.)

When devious little Alice catches a glimpse of their future, she'll do anything to get them together, including moving Bella in behind Edward's back!

Rated NC-17 for swearing, drinking, violence, & later chapters.Totally AU.

You don't have to be a fan of BtVS or Angel to enjoy this crossover. 

After Edward leaves Bella in the forest in New Moon, he begins tracking Victoria.  His search leads him to Los Angeles and an enlightening experience with Angel, a vampire very different than himself, but who possesses a soul.  Is the same true for Edward?
