A look at the relationship & love of Edward and Bella, two self-aware teenagers who are forced to grow up quickly. Together, they battle problems and find their inner strength. No love triangles. Fluffy beginning, drama ensues, no dark themes. AH AU OOC All canon pairings  E/B, J/A, Em/R, C/E    

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan have been married for three years and are on their way to Seattle, Washington to commence Alice Cullen and Jasper Whitlock's upcoming wedding. It is going to be a momentous occasion filled with family togetherness and heartwarming love.

The only problem is that Edward and Bella have been separated for three months, can’t stand each other, and—oh yeah—their family has no idea.

Bella and Edward are reunited after breaking up five years ago.  Can Bella move beyond the pain he caused her to accept him into her life again or is the past too painful to overcome.

This is a companion story to Lost and Found.  Lost and Found is Bella’s POV, and this story is Edward’s POV as they both struggle to learn what it means to find love and happiness.  Follow Edward as he struggles to deal with his past, and learn to live again.  Will Bella be what he needs to heal and learn to love again?  

Bella has a bad habit.

She's been secretly involved, and secretly in love, with her best friend's brother for years.

Will she ever admit her love for him?  Will he return it?  Or, will misunderstandings, interfering friends and betrayals help her kick the habit? 

Summary from a fan:

Quickreader says-
The things Bella desired from him were simple – love, honesty, loyalty.  Instead she took the one thing she could – a passionate, yet secret affair with the only man that would ever capture her soul.  Was that enough?  Was that truly all Edward was willing to give?  And did it matter that the one thing her best friend and his sister, Alice, asked was for them to stay apart? 

They met in high school and had an immediate connection.  Their pull toward one another was undeniable.  Fast forward five years and see that nothing has changed.  Look back at how it started and fell apart all at once. 

Can it ever be made right? 

Will they ever break their bad habits?   

This is a story that will have you laughing your ass off, panting for release and wanting to pull your hair in frustration all at once.  These characters are not perfect or simple.  Their relationship is not all sunshine and roses, but it runs deep.  They are real and will get under your skin in a way that will leave you wanting more.

AU/AH. What would have happened if there had been no supernatural forces at work in Forks? Bella Swan moves to the tiny Washington town to live with her father. There she meets Edward Cullen and they fall in love. Their relationship is cut short when Edward moves from Forks, but he is leaving behind more than he knows... Will they ever see each other again?

Story picks up right after Bella jumps in New Moon. Alice actually listened to Edward and didn't see Bella, and Edward never goes to Volterra. Yet with Bella alive and well in Forks, how long is this separation really going to last? And how is Edward prepared to deal with Bella's new reality should he decide to return?

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes...a baby carriage? Isn't that what everyone wants? Bella and Edward cherished their love, their freedom, and their mobility; neither felt the need to be encumbered with children for years to come. Suddenly one of them has a change of heart and is ready for some baby-making. Will the other go along with the idea, just for the sake of their marriage? Or will they truly find that what they wanted all along had been right in front of them? This is a story about deciding what is most important in your life, and doing whatever necessary to get it.
ExB,AH,OOCish, rated NC-17 for adult themes and of course some juicy lemons.

Bella & Alice head out for a winter vacation in Tahoe. Along the way, they meet Rose & Emmett, and during their stay, they meet both Edward & Jasper. Tahoe Tanglings is co-authored by AHizelm & HammondGirl, and will include all POVs. BxE, AxJ, RxEm, AH

When his sex fantasy starts following him to class, Edward realizes that sleep deprivation and drug cocktails are not the best way to rid oneself of temptation. He does not remember the first time he saw Bella, only that she was probably on the arm of his lifelong rival, Jasper. He is haunted instead by the figments of her in his bed, on his floor, against the wall of his studio, atop his piano… He is convinced that if he wants to lose the ghost, he needs to seduce the real girl and begins a rather pathetic crusade to win the stranger’s heart.

Now, the closer Jasper comes to finding out, the closer the truth behind "the feud" threatens to reveal itself and tear their relationship to shreds.

Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly.  As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?

To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.

Show and Don't Tell.

Edward over hears a very juicy secret regarding his younger sister, Alice.  The plot to blackmail Alice in order to get closer to her best friend, Bella, forms in his mind, but doesn't exactly pan out the way he wants it to.  Rated for Edward's foul mouth and the sprinkles of lemonade with the eventual lemon.

Thank you so much for the banner Selita!  You rock my socks!!

michelleab09 is at it again with another lovely banner for the waterfall!!

The lovely Selita made this blinkie for me! I'm so very proud of it! :D :D

Edward Cullen is Big Man on Campus at his high school in Port Angeles. Bella Swan is a quiet, sarcastic, marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drummer girl at Forks High. A part-time job brings them together, and an unlikely friendship and surprising feelings develop. Neither is brave enough to do anything about it, however, and they part ways when Edward heads off to college. Their paths cross again after a year of no contact, and Edward is determined to not only rekindle their friendship, but to man up and actually do something about his ever-present feelings for Bella.
