“Bella, I’m going to give you some privacy. I won’t go far, but I won’t listen either. I know you don’t want an audience, no matter which way you decide to go.”

Three years after his mysterious disappearance, Edward’s final words to Bella still haunt her every waking moment. For her parents, Bella tries to put the past behind her and start a new life but one phone call shatters her fragile new world. Bella must then choose between her new life and the potential heartache of her past.

All canon pairings. NO CHARACTER DEATH. This is an Edward and Bella story.

I'd like to thank ms_ambrosia for the awesome banner!

After unexpectedly being given an antique desk and finding a letter written by Edward to his cousin over nine decades earlier in a hidden compartment, Bella, on a whim, decides to respond and starts them on a journey neither could have ever imagined. 

Perhaps there are some things we aren't meant to understand, just accept....

This story will eventually contain character death - NOT Edward or Bella.

Edward's father, the Duke of Devonshire, dies leaving very specific conditions on his will. In order to take possession of his inheritance Edward must marry a woman with a title.

Lady Isabella Swan, daughter of the Earl of Bridgewater is facing serious monetary problems after her father's death. All she has to her name is her title and the house she and her mother inhabit. She's desperate to find a solution to her problems which comes in the form of Edward's marriage proposal. Set in England, 1850.

AU Post-New Moon. NOTE- AU Hybrid Vamps:

Banner by Mehek18

Set in 2010, the supernatural world is in a crisis unprecedented, its' very structure challenged by a force yet to be seen. As this new threat sends ripples of discord and panic throughout the ranks, a young vampire and her two children, twin beings as different as light and dark, struggle to remain hidden in the shadows; away from the world they belong to.

But not for long: Embittered by the desperate state his father left him, his mother, and his sister in five years prior, Tony Swan yearns for purpose; an opportunity to let out who he truly is. No more lies. No more veils. He won't have to wait long-as his sister grows normally, he inches closer and closer to adulthood, mind and body rapidly maturing despite the few years he has walked this Earth. And yet, throughout all this, one key fact remains forgotten by the young hybrid: fate's plan is never simple.

And in a world where monsters of human and marble flesh exist, how can it be?

Pulling to re-write:

Well, technically not pulling, but definitely re-writing.

I’ve given it a lot of thought. I was actually going to do this once I got the 13th chapter of my main WIP out (So it wouldn’t that bad of a shock, after all I already warned of a hiatus on its way), but so far I haven’t been able to churn out anything that could pass as a chapter that’s “in- character” in regards to the present version of my fic. It’s just…not working. No matter how hard I try to write ch.13, I keep going back to my old copies of chapters one, two, and three and re-writing them. Hell, I’m already on ch.4.

I’ve looked at my early chapters, compared them to the most recent ones, and realized that the flow, the tone of the writing itself, doesn’t match. I had a completely different mindset when I began, still figuring things out, still not setting things in stone, and throughout the experience I learned a lot. More so if I hadn’t posted in the first place. A huge learning experience, I guess you could say.

It made me remember why I wanted to write this story in the first place, and that because I was under the impression I had to conform to a framework because it was fan fiction, I put what I really wanted on the back burner in order to write/focus on what I thought was supposed to be written/focused on.

And then I finally had an epiphany: I don’t have to follow any sort of guideline. I can write what I want to write. I don’t have to have the story closely tailored around Edward and Bella, or any of the other canon characters, I don’t have to write from certain POV’s in the first place because the truth is, my story, as someone commented after looking over a past chapter I’d written, is “not really about Twilight.”
And that’ s the truth. Resent isn’t about Twilight, at least, not completely.

To the person who commented, thank you, by the way. You know who you are.

Now, you may ask, “why post a wip in the first place?” well, the truth was, I didn’t think the fandom would still be around once I completed Resent. It was 2010, the twi-craze was already dying down somewhat, and I thought it would be risky to take my time and finish the story first before posting. I thought I was working on borrowed time. Plus, I wasn’t sure if the twist I had going with my main oc’s. would be received well.

The reviews and the fact that a good number of us are still here kind of blows those pre-conceived notions out of the ballpark, to my sweet relief.

What I said in past thread posts still stands: as long as the story is posted, it is not abandoned. Hiatus maybe, but not abandoned. The fact that it is still there means that I’m still a part of the fandom. If I ever decide to flounce, there is no way in hell that I would ever leave any of my writing’s unmonitored on the internet. If I ever decide to discontinue, you readers will be the first to know.

I’m leaving the current copy of Resent on ff.net, twilighted, and twcs for these reasons, and also because I know there are some who still enjoy re-reading the posted chapters. I’m sorry if this is upsetting. I know the update schedule for this fic has been somewhat tumultuous and nail-biting, especially with how things were left the last chapter, but I feel like if I don’t say something now, I’m going to end up posting something bland and soulless. Once I’ve written enough of the new version (or completed it) I’ll pull the old version and start re-posting.

I won’t hold it against you if you flounce, just don’t tell me that you are.

Again, I’m sorry about this guy’s, but my gut is telling me this is something I have to do.

The agreement was made; Edward, the Crowned Prince of England would be wed to Isabella the Princess of France, upon her sixteenth year. 

Millionaire Edward Cullen fell quickly for small town Bella, and their dreamy romance soon led to wedding bells. But their relationship’s foundation is anything but sturdy.

When their new marriage is about to fall apart, Bella inexplicably goes missing. Edward is determined to search for her, but does Bella want to be found?

~*~

A time-jumping romance filled with love, heartache and intrigue. Rated for language and some sexuality.

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?

What if Edward, through Alice's visions, knew about Bella before he met her? 

What if he had a chance to avoid the bloodlust? Would he take that chance? 

PRE-Twi AU

Isabella is a handmaid to Princess Jessica, Daughter of King Aro. When a knight from a neighboring kingdom wins his choice of bride, Sir Edward bypasses the princess and claims the handmaid instead. Isabella suddenly finds herself married to a man she does not know, and is tossed into the middle of political plots and scheming nobles. Her life is further turned upside down when she is unable to give her husband the one thing he must have.

"This is the hour of Forks' revenge. Volterra will fall to us for Aro's actions against your Queen, and no one – no one – who fights for Volterra will survive. We will not stop until every wall, every tower, every single structure in all of Volterra has been razed."

150 years after Edward leaves and 149 years after Bella's death, Jasper stumbles into a newly published fiction that isn't fiction at all. Who is Eve? Who are the Guardians? What are the concequences?

Dearest Reader,

Come, pull up a chair and sit by me. Locked in these pages you will find my story, my memory, my secrets, my heart, my life, my death, some things that came after and everything in between.

Can I trust you with it?

It is truly fantastic and not for the faint-hearted. Not for the realist, not for the cynic, no never for the cynic, only the pure hearted will find purchase here. Lend me your ear, your open mind and heart and I will pull you to a myth you dare not dream of, a myth you unknowingly live every day.

Tell me dearest, do you believe in Angels? Not as Dogma, not as testament to whichever religion bears your faith, not fairies with wings and halos. Can you believe in the beings of light, of strength and power that govern here on earth, the beings that hold all things in order, beings that guard your humanity?

Perhaps Angels is the wrong word, a word they would see with distaste. So we shall call them what they are in essence, the guardians. Do you believe?  Can you believe in the mythical? If you cannot, this is no place for you. I’ll give you a moment to ponder this. Please do not tread lightly upon my  request.

As I have learned all too harshly, prepared or not, one can never go back. " 

 Told in varying POV, with excerpts from the book Storm.
