Edward finally gives in to his desire to "check up" on Bella after he left. He vowed only to watch her from a distance, but how can he resist the force of the love that brought him back in the first place? When Bella's life is in danger again, will Edward be able to save her one last time?

This is a story that's been bouncing around in my head so much it finally demanded to be written. Edward's POV.

150 years after Edward leaves and 149 years after Bella's death, Jasper stumbles into a newly published fiction that isn't fiction at all. Who is Eve? Who are the Guardians? What are the concequences?

Dearest Reader,

Come, pull up a chair and sit by me. Locked in these pages you will find my story, my memory, my secrets, my heart, my life, my death, some things that came after and everything in between.

Can I trust you with it?

It is truly fantastic and not for the faint-hearted. Not for the realist, not for the cynic, no never for the cynic, only the pure hearted will find purchase here. Lend me your ear, your open mind and heart and I will pull you to a myth you dare not dream of, a myth you unknowingly live every day.

Tell me dearest, do you believe in Angels? Not as Dogma, not as testament to whichever religion bears your faith, not fairies with wings and halos. Can you believe in the beings of light, of strength and power that govern here on earth, the beings that hold all things in order, beings that guard your humanity?

Perhaps Angels is the wrong word, a word they would see with distaste. So we shall call them what they are in essence, the guardians. Do you believe?  Can you believe in the mythical? If you cannot, this is no place for you. I’ll give you a moment to ponder this. Please do not tread lightly upon my  request.

As I have learned all too harshly, prepared or not, one can never go back. " 

 Told in varying POV, with excerpts from the book Storm.

Jasper, Rosalie, Bella, Alice, Emmett & Edward become interwoven, making their mark at Seattle's Fremont Park Preparatory boarding school. Wealth and war, friendship and love ensue.

AU/AH. Rated M for language and sexual themes. Slightly OOC.

Edward seeks out the counsel of his father and brothers after agreeing to be with Bella after their wedding. What will Edward do with that advise and how will he and Bella prepare for their upcoming wedding night.

Thanks to Anne Cullen for this beautiful banner.

Thanks Roo, for the amazing banner! 

And more keep coming in!  Thanks to m81170 for this lovely piece of art:

Here's another amazing pic that fits in with Dark Side of the Moon perfectly -thank you to JohannaL for ID'ing the author:  http://smirks-works.livejournal.com/ check out her (I assume) other manips - she's a genius!

Updated November, 2009

This story is now COMPLETE!

Dark Side of the Moon is my version of New Moon from Edward’s point of view.  Witness how Edward agonized over leaving Bella, hunted for Victoria, faced the Volturi, and came to realize that with Bella was where he was meant to be. 

This tormented story has been a part of my life for about a year and a half – and what a ride it’s been!  Meant to be canon and in character, I hope you enjoy angsty Edward and his suffering during New Moon.  As unhappy as Bella was during this time, Edward suffered so much more (I think).  So be sure and crack open a fresh box of tissues before reading!

 Thank you to everyone for all the reviews, especially to those of you who reviewed each and every chapter!  Your support and loyalty have been the driving force to me getting this project finished – and I hope it’s lived up to all of your expectations.

Love you all,

PS.  As one last thank you, I’ve posted a formatted, printable copy of Dark Side of the Moon at http://bit.ly/2vLHMi, as will also post as an electronic version suitable for viewing on a kindle or MobiReader.  I’m also posting a ‘Director’s Cut’ that includes citations of all of Bella’s quotes from Twilight, research notes, and even funny comments from my betas in this version in the same directory.

Use of the dialog from the series is just for clarity - Stephenie Meyer owns all things twilight!  I'm making absolutely nothing from this work.

When Charlie catches Bella and Edward in a compromising position how will he react?

What tactics will Edward and Bella have to resort to in order to get time alone together again?

Thanks Mandi for the banner!

What if the wolf pack hadn't interrupted Laurent before he bit Bella?  This is the story of Bella being changed despite Edward leaving her to prevent it from happening.

Rated for later chapters.  Just like in New Moon, Edward will make an appearance eventually!

After weeks of Emmett teasing Bella, she plans to give him back a little of what he's been dishing out.  This time, Emmett may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Family humour.  Various POVs. 

Thank you, Blondie, for the awesome banner . . . and the instructions on how to use it!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Right? But sometimes, it's just the beginning of something special and you find what you never knew you were looking for. AU/AH, Canon pairings.

TW/MS Alice's POV. Canon "Where Jasper and I were halves of the same whole, Edward and I were the same half. We understood each other more than the family understood us."

Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet, is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, and death's pale flag is not advanced there.

Edward's POV in Volterra, just moments before he takes his first steps towards the sunlight. Will include the reunion between Edward and Bella, the conference with the Volturi, 'The Truth' and the vote, all from Edward's perspective.

Winner of two Twilighted Teen awards.

The trauma suffered by Bella for three years has left lasting mental scars.  Esme and Carlisle are finally offered the chance to be true parents to a teenager that needs them.  Surrounded by the support and love of the Cullen family, Bella begins to grow and finds out there is more to life than simply surviving.

I stepped back to the table, and grasped her prone hand. It was already measurably cooler, defeating the swirling heat of her dying heart. The coolness subsumed the scar on her hand. I cringed inwardly. Ironically, where James had failed, I would succeed, leeching all heat from her bones...

What she'd begged me for, what I'd refused, was nevertheless happening.

Edward's point of view, beginning on page 351 of Breaking Dawn, from Renesmee's birth, currently up to Bella's arrival home from her first hunt.
