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.~

Breaking Dawn from Leah's Point of View.

Prelude: The bitch was pregnant? I snorted out a callous laugh. Here I was, a mutated genetic dead end. Having kids for me was completely out of the question. And this leech loving whiny ass vampire wannabe was going to have a kid!?

Life is completely and utterly unfair.

The Volturi took over the government 15 years ago. It's time to take back what's rightfully theirs. It's time to stop the injustices of cruel old men. It's time for revenge - there will be blood.    

Charlie's red eyes rose to meet mine. "I want them dead; every last one of them. When I'm through, there should be no Volturi left on this godforsaken earth. I don't care what it takes, I just want them dead."

Mary Alice Swan is a wildly successful wedding planner with a few problems. She's hopelessly in love with her boss, the gorgeous Edward Cullen, and she can't say 'NO'-to being a bridesmaid that is. When her sister Bella comes into town and destroys her fantasy world, Alice is left wondering whether the mysterious and aloof Jasper Whitlock is really as much of a bad boy as he pretends to be.

*Takes place during New Moon in an alternate universe.

On March 16, 2006,  the World changed, and everything and anything that the Cullens ever cared about was lost. They had to find their own way in this New World. Edward never wished to exist in a world where Bella didn't.  Unfortunately, his family desperately needed him, so he'd stay to help them.   And by doing so, he hoped to redeem himself for his failure to save the one creature he couldn't protect. 

With rumours in the South of humans feeding off the living and stealing people from their beds, the Cullens have a responsibility to protect the ones they can from those monsters in the night.  This was Edward's last chance to fight for his soul and his salvation.  He would finally be ready to face Judgement day and be deemed worthy enough to be with Bella once again.  Or would something or someone change the path he was destined to go down?  Faith, hope and love are powerful things, and Edward is about to find out just how powerful they are.

Yes... this is the story that is set during a post-apocalyptic nuclear war. Just try the Prologue to get a feel for it before passing judgment. You might be surprised. Warning: There is violence and disturbing images the further the story goes along.

After a car accident that almost claimed Bella's life, she finds that life as she knows it has completely changed. Can she move on & learn to live again?

Rated NC-17 for language, adult situations & some lemony goodness. AU/AH BxE, AxJas, RxEm. Some early non-canon pairings.

Set in New Moon. A series of betrayals has left Bella bitter and alone.

With the threat of Victoria looming, she takes desperate action to protect herself and the people of Forks; setting off a chain of events that may lead to tragedy.

The Cullens' "perfect family" slowly unravels as long-hidden resentments come to the surface.

What happens when those we love show their feet of clay?

NO RAPE.

Don't own, (I wish I did!) don't sue!

Ten years.

Ten years have passed since Edward left Bella that day in the woods. He doesn't know what happened to her. He doesn't know if she's happy. He doesn't know if she's had the life that he intended for her.

Alice has developed a new talent closely related to her precognition, and she finally prevails upon Edward to check up on Bella, for her and Esme's sake if nothing else.

And what they see will destroy the fragile peace that Edward has lived in for the past decade.

(Note: this is most definitely not a Bella/Jacob story. In fact, it is at its heart a Bella/Edward story.)

The rating is for violence and character death, not erotica. If you're looking for erotica... sorry. Wrong place.

Thanks to TellyTubby101 for the fantastic banner!

What if Bella realized Edward was planning to leave her after the incident at her 18th Birthday party? Could she let his family give up the one place where they could be truly comfortable? Would she be able to disappear to give the Cullens a chance to live normal lives? She has to find the strength to walk away before Edward has a chance to break her heart – something she is certain she would not be able to survive.
