Mid-30s guy with an addiction for fan fiction presently, and a slew of unfinished writing in my file cabinet and computer that I never seem to manage to complete full stories. Plots and bits and pieces, sure, but start-to-finish stories still elude me.


Aside from that I'm always over-thinking things, have a science background but love my fiction books... and I guess I'm a twi-guy being here as much as I am lately :S (I own the series and The Host as well). Also a fan of David Eddings and Clive Cussler.


Just starting an Education degree that'll eventually send me out to Middle and Secondary schools to teach math and science (mostly biology, probably).


Oh and my friends just gave me an Edward doll from the Barbie range (he sparkles! lol they didn't realise it at the time either) My Twi-diction is kind of a running joke for them, but their nice enough about it :)

hmm while Edward was terse with Esme, he was woken from sleep in addition to having problems with the family dynamic, so it's sort of understandable. I'm not often in the best of temper straight after being woken by a phone rining :P

Family therapy should be interesting :)

 



Author's Response:

family therapy is interesting. Alice didn't tell him about everything that happened in the session that she attended and quite wisely too. It might just have scared him off for good.

It's good to see Bella building a friendship with Esme - even better that Edward and Esme both are supporting it :)



Author's Response:

There will be more of that as the story goes on. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

so there's a timeline now for Edward's return (however temporary) to the family. And everyone's chance to see Bella again or for the first time hehe

he now knows that the reunion is coming and needs to figure out how to deal with it. thanks for reading!

Close-call there for Bella and Edward on the college arguement :)

I'm thinking that the book store is still going to be in their future along with the house anyway too!

They are still working on their communication skills. They'll get there. thanks for reading and reviewing!

ohh nice stuff there, really; good to see they told Esme so soon, but so funny to see her suspecting Bella being pregnant hehe

ohhh some big news there! Perhaps the parents will end up moving sooner than later as well with all the kids moving away?



Author's Response:

I have specific plans for Carlisle and Esme, I just can't get into details. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

 
Summary:

 

Taking one last deep breath, I bent down on my knees and assumed the position that Angela taught me. My hands were now shaking uncontrollably, and I was thankful to be able to place them on the cold, hard concrete. It kept me steady as I lowered my head and waited for the mistress to make her appearance.

It seemed like forever, and I knew it was more likely like two minutes, but the door finally creaked open. It was such a rush to have only my hearing to decipher what the mistress was doing because I saw nothing, but heard the soft clacking of her heels on the floor.

Breathing heavily now, I stared at the ground, nervous as all hell, and waiting for something-her, me...I didn't know.

It wasn't until I saw the shiny black tips of her boots-that was when I knew it was all real. The moment had finally come. After all the weeks I'd obsessed and basically stalked her, I was finally here with her, and she still had no idea who I really was...

"Good evening, Pig!"

 

Edward Cullen is a 21 year old man who has the world at his finger tips. He has a great education, money, and plenty of women. The things he feels he's entitled to...but what happens when an innocent meeting with a beautiful, but older Isabella Swan at a coffee shop turns into something he never expected.

Will a hot and assertive woman like Bella, who likes to take control, finally be able to teach a young cocky Edward about life, sex, and women?

Thrust into a world filled with pain, pleasure, and all too consuming desire...Edward soon realizes it's a life he can't live without.

That said, Emmett's concern for Edward's whereabouts was both cute and amusing :)

 
Summary:

An Unexpected Lady--banner by AngelGoddess1981

AU, Carlisle/Bella

Thank you so much to AngelGoddess1981 for the fantastic banner. You're amazing, bb!

hmm I quite enjoyed this lok into Carlisle's life & views. I've often wondered if Aro's interest in Carlisle has a little bit of a hope for personal redemption attached to it. For the most part, he enjoys his power & standing "above" humanity, but he's perhaps covering himself against the possibility that there's something greater or stranger out there. Carlisle is the sort of person who would speak up for his friend, regardless of personal beliefs.
Looking forward to more of Carlisle's views on Bella & their relationship as it progressed :)
Oh, and it feels like Bella's presence in this timeline was pulling at Carlisle even before they met :)

hmm i'm curious that Carlisle doesn't seem to have considered Aro's gift, and what it might mean for Bella with her knowledge of future events and so on.

guess we'll see what happens there! :)

I did like Bella "knowing" that Carlisle really wanted to laugh at the broken door knob - I'd almost expect them to make a memento of it now though :)

Date: October 03, 2010 Title: Chapter 10: 9: Honesty and Privacy

well I'm betting on Bella being able to either find a way to make the shield protect herself & others from her abilities, or finding a power that does it.
I'm still somewhat worried about Aro's possible responses to Bella's powers... we'll see how that goes :P

It's good to see that at least Edward had the family rallying around him through all the upset of losing Jack and discovering certain truths about Victoria... though I can only imagine how bad he's going to get when he realises just HOW bad Victoria got :S

 
Summary:

 


 


 


boy and the muse banner


 


He sat on a stage and played the same songs every night, waiting for her to take her seat so he could say that his muse had arrived.


She sat in the bar and watched him play the same songs every night, knowing he was singing them for someone else. He said so every time.




 This is the story of a boy and a girl. Both beautiful people with strong souls not ready to take that leap.


Someone needed to intervene.


“Who’s your muse, Cullen?”


“A girl…” was all he said. It was all he ever said.


“Does she know she’s your muse?”


“I wish.”


It's disjointed and competely out of the realm of normalcy. I'm in love with it.

awww the only thing I really wonder at the end of that all, is if the last girl is perhaps Jake's daughter? Just make it all sugary-sweet hehe :)

 
Summary:

Edward never came back. But that's okay, because Bella Swan is doing fine. Her life has been vampire free for four years and, while it was rough at first, she's content with her new life. That is, until a certain vampire casually walks back into her life. Can Bella accept the lessons that life is trying to teach her? Or is her future doomed to be dictated by her past?

ahh so Emmett at least is in contact with Jasper, Edward's not around to read him & I wonder what Aice may or may not have seen about that phonecall?
Oh, and I'm almost hoping Bella & Jasper DID do something so silly & OOC like a makeover & pillowfight - if Alice saw anything like it for either of them she'd never believe it was a Vision hehe

I'm looking forward to seeing how Jasper reacts to the turth of how Edward left Bella when she gets around to telling him.
A bit strange though, to see Bella have something of an epiphany about her emotions and then finish in the jaccuzi like that. Wonder how they're both going to be after this? :)

 
Reviewer: Daylen Signed
Date: September 22, 2010 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8

hehehe well they've made their deals with each other more or less, to help Bella through her newborn stages and give Jasper "something to do"... and maybe, just maybe, they'll find their way back to the Cullens too :)



Author's Response:

Or find themselves in the bargain?
Thank you for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser:

A female reporter appeared on the screen, “This evening, father of missing college student Isabella Swan, pleads with the public for the safe return of his daughter.”

Bella watched as the screen cut to a shot of her father, standing behind a podium stuffed with microphones. She was shocked to see how haggard he looked, how tired and run down, how...old. Like most children, her father had often seemed ageless to her, even when he started getting grey hairs and laugh lines around his eyes. Sure, part of her knew that he would die one day, because everyone died. But that was in the distant future, and in the mean time he was her father and he loved her, and he would always be there for her in his quiet, steady way.

But now, watching the usually stoic Charlie Swan attempt to keep it together for the cameras, Bella was surprised to realize that her father was not some invincible force from her childhood. He was a human man, and he was falling apart.

Well, they're both a little calmer about communicating now from the looks of things, though I can still see some great firey arguments between Bella & Jasper hehe :)

 



Author's Response:

Oh, you have no idea! lol Just you wait... ;)

Thank you for reading and reviewing! Here's your teaser:

Sighing, she turned away from the mirror and put her bag down on the bed and opened it. Instantly, she was assaulted by a fresh scent, one that she had never smelled with this nose, but would know it anywhere.

It was her own.

In the bag were clothes, her clothes. Ones she had worn as a human being. Band shirts were folded neatly next to old worn jeans and over sized hoodies. It looked like Jasper had raided her closet and dresser, packing it all neatly into this giant duffle.

Ironically, this scent did not make her throat erupt in flame. It smelled delicious, for sure, but there was no thirst there. It was simply the comfort of the familiar, something that she had never realized she would miss until it was gone. Slowly, she started taking out her clothes and putting them away.Underneath some of her nicer sweaters were several picture frames wrapped in t-shirts. Slowly, she unwrapped them, the lump getting harder and harder.

Jasper had grabbed all of the pictures that littered her room.

She was holding her family in her hands.

hmm it sounds like whatever arguments Alice and Jasper had before he left the Cullens were quite intense :S

I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of Bella and Jasper ending up together versus the whole thing with Alice being tied with her predictions and it being the only way that she could see "working" on short (by human-vampire standards) notice... but we'll see.

Bella's got some great tantrum skills there - though I think she's completely justified in her rant and acting out :)

I'm looking forward to the family's ongoing reactions especially as they start to realise that they abandoned not only Bella, but Jasper as well, when they were needed most... and Jasper really didn't have a chance with his own blood lust plus the family's and Edward's additional "feelings" on that front.

Really not liking Edward's behaviour since his return, he's still making decisions for Bella without really talking to her or considering her input...

Looking forward to the discussion of her ability now :)
