*Alternate Ending to New Moon* Consumed by worry about Bella’s depression, Charlie drags her to counseling with a Quileute psychologist, Dr. Nina Carlton. Unbeknownst to Bella, Nina has wolfish relatives in Forks, a past with Charlie, and a shield of her own. When Alice sees Bella throwing herself into harm's way, Edward races back to Forks. He is torn between staying out of Bella's life, as promised, and saving her from peril. Through a journey forged in therapy, friendship, and the support of their parents, Bella and Edward will learn important lessons about themselves and their love.

When Bella and Edward meet the first day of High School, he is a chubby misfit with no friends in a new town, aside from his popular cousins.  He meets Bella Swan, a well-liked, if uncoordinated, local with problems of her own.  This is the story of their friendship, their loss, their love and destruction.  Can they find their way back to each other?  And can they survive the changes they have both gone through since the fateful day they met?

HUGE THANKS TO ATHENALOVE and READERGOOF FOR THE AMAZING BANNERS!

"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.

After the Cullens leave Bella behind she must find a way to survive her pregnancy. Betrayed by the Denali, where is she left to go and what will she become?

Is it a price Bella is willing to pay?

Every choice bears consequences, positive or negative, and results of the consequences will change the course of their lives drastically. What will their consequences be?

Two strangers, one kiss.

Since this would probably be the only time I’d ever get to kiss this gorgeous creature, I decided to make the most of it... 

A chance meeting + a slightly devious plan =  Happily ever after?

Not your average bedtime story, this is the tale of Bella and Edward.

**Thank you so much to the amazing Readergoof for making both of those gorgeous banners up there! Perfection! **

On the last night of her annual trip to Forks to see her father, Bella finds herself a gorgeous distraction from ex boyfriend James.  Thinking she’ll never see the gorgeous Edward again she goes further than she ever thought she would with a complete stranger.   Will this be the last time they ever see each other or does fate have other ideas?

Thanks to the fabulous Mkystich for my lovely banner!!

Twelve celebrities. Twelve fans. Twelve houses. Twelve weeks. One million dollars.

That is the tagline to the most anticipated show of the year, I Want to Marry a Celebrity! It grabs Bella Swan's attention from the first moment she reads it, especially after she reads who the twelve celebrity contestants are: Tyler Crowley, Rosalie Hale, Caius Levine, Alice Brandon, Siobhan Firth, Edward Cullen, Kate Denali, James Hunter, Heidi Wells, Jared Wentz, Chelsea Green, and Felix Gerandy.

Though the legal terms are complicated, the conditions are simple enough:

Only persons aged twenty-one or older will be allowed to participate. If selected, the person will be notified pending an investigation of said person's personal background. If nothing out of the ordinary appears in the background information, the person will be notified. The person will be flown out to live up to twelve weeks at the private residence of the person they have been paired with. A camera crew will follow each couple on certain days of the week. Sunday nights a new episode will air, and voting lines will open as soon as the episode is over. On Monday night, a couple will be eliminated until only one pair remains. Once a couple has been eliminated, the person will have twenty-four hours to pack all personal belongings and return to their own place of residence, depending on flights available; otherwise, accommodation will be given through a hotel. The one million dollars in prize money will go to a charity organization of the winning couple's choice.

Warning: If selected, for the duration of your stay you will live the lifestyle of the rich and the famous. These people sacrifice a lot of their privacy, as you will have to. Depending on your popularity on the show, your daily life may include paparazzi.

As Bella, who is one of Edward Cullen's biggest fans, reads the above on the official website, she comes to a decision. She has nothing to lose, since she has never won anything before in her life. Not the coloring contest in the first grade, a spelling bee in third, and certainly not a radio competition to win tickets to the midnight premiere of Edward Cullen's newest film. Someone else always won. With that in mind, and thinking that it definitely won't be her who gets picked, Bella enters her name in the draw to be on the show. Imagine her surprise when she opens her front door nearly seven weeks later, only to find the host of I Want to Marry a Celebrity! on her doorstep. Besides a camera crew with him, there’s also a limousine and a lawyer with a heap of contracts, including a non-disclosure agreement.

Bella's first encounter with Edward instantly leads to a mutual dislike. She is the new girl in town that has attracted more than one admirer and he's the boy who usually gets what he wants. So how will one evade when the other is set to conquer? AH

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...

While hunting one afternoon, Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle stumble upon what appears to be a corpse.  When they learn it's a severely broken vampire, they take him home to do what they can to help.  But of course, fate has plans for this man.  Canon Couples.  AU.  DARK Themes.

His question brought Bella back down from cloud nine. She glowered at him. “Bite me.”

A slow, wicked grin etched itself on Edward’s face. “I don’t think you’d want me to,” he whispered darkly, laughing silently at the irony of her insult.

-

“I know I smelled an open wound, Bella,” Alice said sternly. Behind her, Carlisle and Edward exchanged a look.

Bella scoffed slightly. “Believe me, I felt it,” she told her as she tried to stand.

-

“You don’t understand,” Edward said in a deadly tone.

Bella stared at him for a moment, a bitter expression overcoming her features. “There’s something for me to understand?”

-

“Fuck her!” she heard one of them call.

“Oh, I will,” the man above her answered.

-

Her smile faded after a moment when she realized something. “Oh, great,” she started grumpily, “we match.”

Edward grinned lopsidedly. “Indeed, we do,” he replied.

-

“You’re funny,” Edward said dryly. “I bet you wouldn’t be saying the same thing if you were the one who turned up missing.”

“Are you trying to scare me, Mr. Cullen?” Bella asked as she snapped a picture.

-
  
"Bella, listen to me,” he tried coaxing her gently.

“No!” Bella shouted, pulling her arms out of his grip. “I never want to see you again. Stay away from me,” she said through clenched teeth, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

-

He cupped her face with both hands while looking into her eyes. “If you don’t find me, who’s killed before, whose diet consists of blood, repulsive, how can I look at you in that way?” he asked her softly.

-

"What kind of man are you?!” Bella pushed and slapped his chest as she raged. She was becoming unhinged.

-
  
“Bella, don’t come,” her mother said weakly. “Whatever he says, don’t come—” 

“No! That’s not what you’re supposed to say!” a voice exclaimed in the background.

A tear escaped Bella’s eye as she listened to her mother’s cries as he hit her.

-

Edward nodded. “You’re safe now, Bella,” he told her tenderly as he softly massaged her cheek.
