After a business arrangement leads to marriage, Bella is shocked to find her husband wishes for her to give him an heir. Will Bella consent in hopes that he will return the love she has for him or will she leave before her heart is beyond repair?

Thank you to Cristag banner for this wonderful banner!

*Takes place during New Moon in an alternate universe.

On March 16, 2006,  the World changed, and everything and anything that the Cullens ever cared about was lost. They had to find their own way in this New World. Edward never wished to exist in a world where Bella didn't.  Unfortunately, his family desperately needed him, so he'd stay to help them.   And by doing so, he hoped to redeem himself for his failure to save the one creature he couldn't protect. 

With rumours in the South of humans feeding off the living and stealing people from their beds, the Cullens have a responsibility to protect the ones they can from those monsters in the night.  This was Edward's last chance to fight for his soul and his salvation.  He would finally be ready to face Judgement day and be deemed worthy enough to be with Bella once again.  Or would something or someone change the path he was destined to go down?  Faith, hope and love are powerful things, and Edward is about to find out just how powerful they are.

Yes... this is the story that is set during a post-apocalyptic nuclear war. Just try the Prologue to get a feel for it before passing judgment. You might be surprised. Warning: There is violence and disturbing images the further the story goes along.

Thank you to ArtBeats+Life for the banner!

Written for Smut University's Back to School Fundraiser 2010.

Continued for SU's Back to School Fundraiser 2011.

Bella spends her summer cleaning houses and daydreaming about a certain green-eyed client she'd like to perform naughty fantasies with.

Thirty Dirty Days

It's going to be thirty days of smut. Thirty days of dirty, dirty cleaning. Thirty days of wild fantasies. All leading up to that one final conclusion we missed out in the original OS: Bella and Real Life Edward gettin' it on.

The conclusion will be submitted into PTB's Back to School Fundraiser Summer 2011 Yearbook. If you're interested, all you have to do is donate a minimum of $5, and you will not only receive my OS, but one shots from many authors around the fandom.

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!

Eddie DcCullen

Bella is soul-searching at a quiet lodge in Forks and she meets the secretive, tormented Edward Masen. Just as their relationship transcends friendship, Edward’s past comes back to haunt him in the most brutal way. B&E are human, but oh…there will be vampires. AU.

On her way to London, a broken Sarah Anderson meets the one person who can save her from her darkened existence. Their age difference is the least of their worries.  What will they teach each other and do you really have a second chance at forever?

Bella is a family attorney & Edward seeks her help. Friendship abounds, maybe more? AH, AU, OOC,

Rated M for later, they are adults & will do adult things!

Canon Couples

Bella thinks she finally has it all together after a life altering accident, but when she meets Edward, a once successful artist who has lost his inspiration, everything she thought she knew changes.  Rated NC-17 for a very good reason.

Many thanks to my amazing and talented beta xrxdanixrx for the wonderful banner!!!

Many thanks to the incredible MizzezPattinson for the amazing new blinkie!

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

Special Thanks to achelle131 for the amazing banner!

Bella had the perfect life.  She was married to her longtime best friend, had a great job and a beautiful son…until a careless driver stole her happiness.

Edward was fulfilling his dreams.  His residency was almost over, he had a gorgeous fiancé, and he was ready to move forward, starting a family…until a devastating break-up and a health scare in his family shake his foundation.

See, sometimes, life doesn’t go the way you want.  Sometimes, things can happen that change the course you choose.  And most of the time, it takes courage to walk down the new path.

What if that new path started with a tee ball team?

Big thanks to sigh-for-sigh for the banner!!

Play with me on the forum.  I now have a thread in the Alternate Human thread.  

Now Complete!

Just two weeks before her best friend's wedding Bella gets dumped by boyfriend James when she refuses to give him what he wants. The next night she discovers he's made a bet with gorgeous pal Edward Cullen that he can't bed her. She brilliantly decides to string Edward along for a few weeks...and subsequently land herself a hot date for the wedding. Things soon get very interesting...

Sequel to The Virgin Swan and the Cullen Intuition

The not-so-virgin Bella Swan is moving out of Forks and in to Seattle with her beautiful tattooed fiance, Edward.  When their perfect bubble pops, how will the maiden Swan fair in the Cullen's domain?

We have been, as Aro put it, reckless in our ways. We have been having fun. Now that is off the agenda. Period.

SM owns it all!

NC17 to be safe...

Completely off the story line. They're all non-canon, except perhaps the more boring characters.
