"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."

- icrodriguez (the most beautiful review I have ever received.  THANK YOU for allowing me the honour of displaying it here.  It sums up the tone of this story beautifully, hearts, Erin)

Left in the woods, an unfortunate run-in with Laurant and 45 years later - Bella finds herself facing everything she has ever wanted.  Does it want her back?  What will she discover about how Edward has been spending his time...

Rated for later chapters.

Alice's visions are subjective. She sees things based on what people decide. But what happens when the decisions are made too quickly and without conscious thought? Alice can't stop what she can't see. And when she sees Bella crash her truck, she fears she may be too late...

Amore Vietato - Forbidden Love. That's what 18 year old Bella Swan found when she moved to the small town of Forks, Washington. 

Dating a century old vampire and best friends with a werewolf, Bella is thrust into a supernatural world where all the stories she thought were fiction turn out to be reality.

A momentary lapse of control by Edward leaves Bella with broken bones and all alone. So begins her fall from grace.  Until she awakes to find a different vampire in her room. One who warns her that danger is searching for her.

With the help of a rogue vampire, can Bella find the Cullens in time to do what she was born to do - fulfill her destiny and destroy the Volturi?

Story is rated NC-17 for adult language, brief and mild drug abuse and perhaps a few lemons! All canon pairings and slightly OOC.

Cheers ms_ambrosia for another unbelievable banner!

Rebelward Without a Cause (DC outtakes) Blog: http://rebelward.wordpress.com/

In the dirty south, Eddie’s a sexy, shit kickin' son-of-a-gun; a one-hundred-and-some-year-old vampire raising hell with his brothers Jizzper and Bubba.  The good ol’ boys are brought up by their bootstraps with the advent of the crystal ball totin’ thief, Alice, the vigilante waitress Rose, and the lynchpin--Eddie’s cantata and aspiring taxidermist--Bella.

Amidst the jam-jar-drawlin’ accents, a slow and sultry seduction of sassy Bella, the knee-slappin’ humor of rapid buckshot quibbles, quips and wit, Eddie comes to life as never before.  And all the mud in the Mississippi can’t dampen the man burning within him as he pursues his woman, combats the circling attacks of the vulturous Volturi, and is pelted by Alice’s gnarly visions of a future with a vampire Bella who will either be the savior, or the assassin, of the Cullen clan.  

Dead Confederates is a light, funny, erotic read crackling under a terrifying vampire horror story, all set in Cainwhore, South Carolina.  C’mon along and ‘put some South in your mouth’.

Thank you Mer (frol223) for the summary idea!

After that fateful 18th birthday of Bella's, Edward decided it was best to leave Bella. She needed to live a "normal" human life. Though, he never imagined where she would be a year later. With every action comes a reaction.

Banner by me!

There are more secrets to the ‘new girl in school’ than even a family of vampires could have foreseen. What could the irresistible Bella Swan be hiding? There is more to the golden eyed girl than anyone could have expected.

ATO for short. This is an alternate New Moon. Edward and the Cullens are gone.  A vindictive Victoria takes away all that Bella has left, including her humanity. Bella must leave Forks, but where can she go when she has no one left? All vampire. EdwardxBella

Bella Swan, a young registered pharmacist from New Jersey, takes a job in the Forks, WA Regional Hospital, determined to start her life over.  She meets the handsome, brooding Edward Cullen, who also works in the hospital's pharmacy...but on the night shift, of course.

Will Edward be able to control his agonizing thirst for Bella's blood? How will the emotionally wounded Bella react to her increasing attraction to him? Can Jacob be effective as a minor, if consequential, character? And most important, can Serendipitous refrain from the gratuitous use of hokey questions to attract readers?

    Huge thanks to the talented and generous Anne Cullen for the banner!

 Canon pairings; the Cullens are still vampires.  Edward's and Bella's ages are advanced to their early-mid 20s, to give them more adult sensibilities.  Other than that, the story parallels "Twilight," with some new adventures in line with the characters' ages and situations.  The chapters alternate between Edward's and Bella's POV. While it's not a *funny* version of "Twilight," there are definite sparks of humor in it.

What would have happen if the wolves didn’t show up as quickly when Laurent was in the meadow with Bella? What if they were just a few precious seconds later? And what if the voice Bella heard wasn’t a hallucination?  New Moon AU.

I tilted my head closer toward my wife’s tummy, though I didn’t necessarily need to do so in order to hear the baby’s budding thoughts, but I wanted to be closer, still marveling over everything that was happening. Oh, I’m sorry – I’m so sorry for every doubt I had. I’m sorry. Everything was suddenly becoming extremely sharp – I now understood exactly why Bella was so ready to give her life up to make sure this child lived.

Because, I knew that if it were me, I would make the same decision – my life was nothing compared to that of my child’s.

Edward's experiences spanning from when he first hears the baby's thoughts until Bella awakes from her change (with a little steam in the middle).

When Bella has a tragic accident, it turns her entire world upsidedown and forces Edward to come to terms with her change sooner than he'd hoped.  As Bella says goodbye to friends and family, the Cullens are faced with coming up with a plan to get Bella out of the hospital without drawing unwanted suspicion on their family. Not to mention they have to talk the Quileutes into allowing an exception to the decades old treaty. On top of everything else, Victoria threatens to turn the hospital in Seattle into a killing ground. Can the vampires and the wolves come to an agreement before the Volturi descend on the Olympic pennisula?
