Timing is everything. What if Bella arrived in Forks during the summer before Senior year instead of the middle of Junior year? What if Bella had spent the summer with Jake before starting school?  How would things have changed if there had been no Biology class with Edward? No incident with James?  No papercut on her 18th birthday? What if Edward had never left?

 

What If?

Summary:

Bella and Mike wed four years ago and their marriage hasn't exactly been the picture of bliss. A carefully guarded secret surfaces, destroying an already fragile Bella. Everything she knew was a lie, everything she wanted for her life, wiped out with the click of a mouse. An E x B story.

Warning: There is mention of past sexual assault, crappy childhoods, an even crappier marriage, and some very prevalent social issues (that I’m not going to mention here, because it would defeat the purpose of reading the story).

Excerpt: I looked at the clock again, 5:44.  Jesus Christ, did time stand still? Those fourteen minutes felt like fourteen hours.  As the moments ticked by, my palms began to sweat and a nervous pressure mounted in my chest. It's not the end of the world Bella; just the end of your marriage...and everything you knew. God, how was I going to do this? People up and left their spouses on a daily basis and never looked back. Of course, how many of them were under these same circumstances, I wondered.  How many women were faced with leaving the man they loved because he'd woven a lie so hurtful? When it finally surfaced, did it kill them?

Summary:

He's a Rodeo Cowboy and she is a local girl. Can they fall in love at the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth?

Bella Swan knows there is one distinct advantage to living in the city of Calgary Alberta. That advantage is the Calgary Stampede; a summer event that brings her city to life for eleven days every July. With hundreds of things to do it was never boring. You could watch cowboys and cowgirls at the rodeo, ride the rides of the midway, test your skills at the games booths, or watch a spectacular fireworks display. At the Stampede there is something for everyone. This year, Bella’s something comes in the surprising form of rodeo cowboy Edward Cullen. Edward has travelled to Calgary for one purpose – to win the “Richest Ride in Rodeo”, but this year he is about to win something even better.

Neither was looking for the other, but if the timing is just right, the midway can be magical.

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.

Summary:

(Banner by Enchanted-mind)

(Banner by Mehek18 for thetwilightawards.com)

 

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.
