When Bella goes to live with her father in Forks, things go much better than she expected. At least until a slick parking lot, a careening van, a broken arm, and her weird lab partner from biology get in the way...

AU/NM. Edward leaves in that heart wrenching pivotal moment; Bella returns to school and is shocked to find out that Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory are not going to let her fall into that deep, dark abyss of depression.

We never knew much about SM's version of Lauren Mallory. Turns out, Lauren had her reasons for being a bitch to Bella in Twilight - and it goes well beyond Tyler Crowley. Now the two girls have something in common, broken hearts.

With the help of Lauren and a cast of crazy teenagers, Bella successfully distracts herself from the heartache and begins to behave like a regular teenage girl. Yet, does destiny have other plans? Is Bella's life forever intertwined with the Cullens?

The story follows Lauren and Bella through their adventures and misadventures of senior year. It also checks in with Edward and our favorite vampire family, the Cullens, to see how their life after Bella is holding up. If you are expecting the typical Edward leaves Bella is sad and settles for Jake kind of story, then don't read this.

Rated NC-17 for underage drinking, drugs, sex and other acts of teenage promiscuity. Lots of lemons to come. BXE, BXJ, B X Other. Also, Lauren Mallory gets it on, a lot.

Did you read the Twilight series and wonder what it would be like if SM included more...passion?  Heat?  Lemons of ANY kind?  Ever wanted Bella and Edward to have a steamy meadow scene?  Smexin' in the shiny silver Volvo?  Wished that leg-hitching scene in Eclipse went where you wanted it to?  You're in luck...me, too!  Join me and my wonderfully pervy mind as we go through the books, sprinkling lemon drops along the way. 

AU, OOC, all canon pairings.  Rated for sexual situations and language.

Thank you to Readergoof for the awesome banner!

What happens between Rob and Kristen after winning the Best Kiss 2010?

You know those fics where Edward doesn't come back and Bella forgets about him and five seconds later she's in bed with Jacob and none of it makes any damn sense?
Yeah, this isn't one of them.

This story picks up from the moment in New Moon when Jacob has driven Bella home after the cliff diving incident, right before he catches the scent of Alice. Only in this telling, Alice wasn't looking, so there's no sudden appearance at Bella's house, no Rosalie calling Edward and sending him on a suicidal mission to Volterra, and no reason for Bella to do anything but believe that Edward didn't love her anymore. This is simply a story of what might have happened if everyone stayed mostly in character and Edward's return was delayed. Yes, delayed. Because we all know that he was "this close" to coming back on his own anyhow.
So what would have happened if Bella had tried to move on with her life?  Would she have found happiness with Jacob?  And would Edward be too late?

* First in a series of stories

~I thought of Jacob’s warm arms wrapped around me, his infectious laughter, and his ability to keep me from falling to pieces again… The pain choking my heart relaxed and I could breathe.~

~“More than anything,” I whispered, not caring what I'd just agreed to. When it came to Bella, it didn't matter what the question was. I just wanted.~

Winner of:

Best Author, Most Romantic, Favorite Jacob, Most Suspenseful, & Best WIP in the Wolfpack Awards | Best Non-Canon Pairing (Incomplete) and Best WIP in the Moonlight Awards | Best During the Series in the Razzle Dazzle Awards | The Storyteller Award in the Shimmer Awards | Best JacobxBella in the Silent Tear Awards

After receiving an invitation to write the biography of the severely reclusive author Ethan Church, Bella develops a reluctant obsession with his novels and by extension him. When she accepts his offer, the old, dying man she's presented with and the young, too perfect man she comes across on the nearly empty estate have her convinced she's missing some very important parts of the story.

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...

Story contains mature themes and is not intended for younger readers.

Thanks to Mandi, aka m81170, for the great banner!

Edward isn't able to stop Jasper at Bella's birthday party-but he doesn't get enough. He wants more, and he'll do anything to get it.

When Charlie is diagnosed with cancer, Bella decides to move to Forks to help him through his treatment and recovery. What happens when the resentful son of the new cancer doctor meets up with the reason he was dragged to this small town? AH. E/B.

Edward's phone call during New Moon goes a little bit differently, and Bella finds herself wanting more than just friendship from Jacob. Rated R for language. 

Bella challenges Edward's limits of self control by insisting that he build up his tolerance level to intimacy.

Set in the 6 week 'blank period' at the end of Eclipse / beginning of Breaking Dawn, between the battle, and the wedding.  Bella and Edward expand and deepen their physical relationship in preparation for their impending marriage.

After her father dies, Bella Swan is thrown back into the arms of the family she believed she never really left. Sometimes the worst events become the best opportunties for change. AU-Human, BxE. Rated for language.
