“Son, you are here to receive a precious gift.  It is one that my father bestowed upon me, and his father bestowed upon him—one I will pass on to you now and expect that you give to your own sons when it is time.”

“You are a Cullen, and were therefore born with certain natural—endowments—that predispose you to success with women.  But, there is a beauty in sex which, if you could only grow to appreciate it—an art which, if you could only commit to learning it—will bring you and the women in your life such divine fulfillment as most mortals never know.  It is the art of worship, Edward, and it has very little to do with sex.”

Summary: Bella told Edward in Eclipse that she wasn't that girl...but what if she was? 

It has been four and a half months since Edward Cullen left Bella Swan.  Abandoned by friends and family, she has been left to pick up the pieces of her life alone.  Desperate and with no other options, she seeks out the one man she believes can help her: Carlisle Cullen.

Set in New Moon and beyond.  Characters may be a little OOC.  Rated M/R for Language, Adult Concepts, and Lemons.  Romance with some Angst & Humor. Canon Pairings.  Edward/Bella 

Bella is lost and lonely after her boyfriend breaks up with her. Edward is a determined Dom who needs a slave to train. When their worlds collide, Bella finds herself willfully trapped in his darkest realms. What they both find in each other is something neither of them expected.

Bella Swan, a young registered pharmacist from New Jersey, takes a job in the Forks, WA Regional Hospital, determined to start her life over.  She meets the handsome, brooding Edward Cullen, who also works in the hospital's pharmacy...but on the night shift, of course.

Will Edward be able to control his agonizing thirst for Bella's blood? How will the emotionally wounded Bella react to her increasing attraction to him? Can Jacob be effective as a minor, if consequential, character? And most important, can Serendipitous refrain from the gratuitous use of hokey questions to attract readers?

    Huge thanks to the talented and generous Anne Cullen for the banner!

 Canon pairings; the Cullens are still vampires.  Edward's and Bella's ages are advanced to their early-mid 20s, to give them more adult sensibilities.  Other than that, the story parallels "Twilight," with some new adventures in line with the characters' ages and situations.  The chapters alternate between Edward's and Bella's POV. While it's not a *funny* version of "Twilight," there are definite sparks of humor in it.

“There was no other blood like this.  Once she was gone, it would no longer be within my grasp.  But if I stopped now, she would heal.  Her body would make more.  The blood would replenish.  I could drink again.  The promise of more – it was the only incentive that could have caused me to stop.”

If Here the villains often win and heroes play the fool

If Here reward feels random and friendship just a tool -

If There two lovers, star-crossed, can take each other's hand

And when worlds fall around them, they make an honest stand -

If Here mercy is fairy tales and faith's a funny joke

And kindness Never Never Land and poets all are broke -

If There the fight is worth it and family never dies

And sunlight shines down on you from gray and rainy skies -

If Here is what there really is and There's mere fantasy,

Then sometimes I'll abide There. Come, friend; abide with me.

Bella has a beautiful heart, but it has been battered by her past. When she moves to Forks after years of pain, will the Cullens be able to help her find the beauty behind the scars? AU/Dark themes/No Sexual Abuse
