Bella takes a vacation to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to meet Alice's new boyfriend, Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett come along, too, just in case Bella didn't feel like enough of a fifth wheel. With Jasper's roommate out of town, Bella has his nice big bed all to herself. Until Edward comes home in the middle of the night...

Bella transfers to the University of Washington and lives in a dorm with the Twilight usuals. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they cannot ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However, Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward doesn't plan to get involved. A terrible experience has made him reluctant to form any attachments. But sometimes you find what you didn't even know you were looking for.

A little angst and lots of romance. Humor with a nosy Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hot sexy-times. BPOV and EPOV

Edward is a teenage boy who finds his life instantly changed when his family moves to Forks, WA.  He is intensely drawn to the mysterious girl in his biology class whose mind he discovers he can read.  It doesn’t take long for him to find the truth behind her dark and painful secret but it is already too late – his life is forever altered by his intense physical and emotional connection to the beautiful girl.

My incredible new banner by BeanFlikn247.  This is her first banner!  Isn't it great?

Bella had the perfect life.  She was married to her longtime best friend, had a great job and a beautiful son…until a careless driver stole her happiness.

Edward was fulfilling his dreams.  His residency was almost over, he had a gorgeous fiancé, and he was ready to move forward, starting a family…until a devastating break-up and a health scare in his family shake his foundation.

See, sometimes, life doesn’t go the way you want.  Sometimes, things can happen that change the course you choose.  And most of the time, it takes courage to walk down the new path.

What if that new path started with a tee ball team?

Big thanks to sigh-for-sigh for the banner!!

Play with me on the forum.  I now have a thread in the Alternate Human thread.  

You know those fics where Edward doesn't come back and Bella forgets about him and five seconds later she's in bed with Jacob and none of it makes any damn sense?
Yeah, this isn't one of them.

This story picks up from the moment in New Moon when Jacob has driven Bella home after the cliff diving incident, right before he catches the scent of Alice. Only in this telling, Alice wasn't looking, so there's no sudden appearance at Bella's house, no Rosalie calling Edward and sending him on a suicidal mission to Volterra, and no reason for Bella to do anything but believe that Edward didn't love her anymore. This is simply a story of what might have happened if everyone stayed mostly in character and Edward's return was delayed. Yes, delayed. Because we all know that he was "this close" to coming back on his own anyhow.
So what would have happened if Bella had tried to move on with her life?  Would she have found happiness with Jacob?  And would Edward be too late?

* First in a series of stories

~I thought of Jacob’s warm arms wrapped around me, his infectious laughter, and his ability to keep me from falling to pieces again… The pain choking my heart relaxed and I could breathe.~

~“More than anything,” I whispered, not caring what I'd just agreed to. When it came to Bella, it didn't matter what the question was. I just wanted.~

Edward leaves Bella, much like the beginning of 'New Moon', however, this time, they are all human and there is quite the twist.  Why did Edward leave Bella?  And what secret is Bella keeping when he leaves?

Can they make a nightmare turn into a dream?

THANKS TO EMERALD_ROSALIE FOR THE ABOVE BANNER AND ATHENALOVE FOR THE BELOW.

When Edward abandons Bella to discover a human life for herself, the resulting damage is something that neither of them could have imagined, and neither can heal alone.

The story begins under the streets of Volterra, and follows Edward and Bella back to Forks as they begin to sift through the wreck left in the wake of his lie.

Thanks to Mkystich for my banner! I love it! The poetry is from Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2.

Bella is all kinds of trouble, and Renee and Phil have had enough. They send Bella to live with her dad in Forks hoping he can rein her in. Forks is a punishment that Bella would do just about anything to get out of, including find more trouble, with a Cullen.

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?  

Womanizing Edward is in a cover band with his brother and best friend, who are pissed that Edward has managed to send their last three lead singers heading for the hills with his tendency to fool around carelessly.  Emmett and Jasper decide to create a "no intra-band dating" rule. 

But what happens when a gorgeous, talented brunette walks into the audition?  Will Edward adhere to his bandmates' new rule, or will he pursue what's now off limits?  OOC Edward/Bella.  Rated for DIRTY HUMOR and lots of future LEMONY GOODNESS. Canon pairings.

(thanks to Evilangel6714 for the banner!!!)

 Thank you, hellacullen, for the awesome banner!

Edward’s rebellious period didn’t last a few years; it lasted seventy.  A solitary hunter on the fringe of society, he stumbles across a young woman praying. Can he seduce her away from everything she's ever known? And will he be willing to fight for Bella instead of fighting against her?

AU, a bit OOC, canon couples.  Rated for lemons, violence and adult subject matter.

Banner by Zesty_T, awesome!

Banner by n7of9 Thank you!

Banner by readergoof, thank you!

Bella, has spent her life hating and loving the arrogant Edward Cullen. When she returns to Forks after ten years, will she fall for Dr Black, or will Edward see that he wants her to have a change of heart?
