Edward faces a monumental crisis and finds Sanctuary in the one place he refuses to look for it. All Human.

This story contains Religious themes and Mature themes: Edward is a priest struggling with his role in the Church and as a man.

Summary: AU. A powerful group of humans know of the existence of vampires and werewolves and strict rules are in place for the uneasy coexistence between the three kinds. Transforming humans without tacit permission is banned and all violators and victims are ordered destroyed. Bella was attacked when she was eight years old but miraculously survived. She returns to Forks during her junior year in high school and encounters the Olympic Coven. Against her will, she is drawn to Edward Cullen and into the dangerous world of shifting loyalties and deadly intrigue.

Thanks to JO (Cullenitis) for the AWESOME banner!

Thanks to another JO (sleepyjo at ffnet) for reading and editing the first 13(!) chapters.

Please direct your thanks to her for saving you from the whiplash that is born from my confused tenses and wonky grammar.

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”

Alice’s werewolf blindness never allowed her to see Bella’s cliff diving at La Push, so she and the rest of the Cullens continued to stay away from Forks.

Bella struggles with her changing feelings for Jacob, her pain from Edward’s rejection, and her lingering feelings of love for the vampire who broke her heart and disappeared. Will Jacob and Bella find their way to each other and get their chance at happiness? And when a miserable and heartbroken Edward returns to beg Bella for forgiveness, what will she do?

As relationships change, Victoria continues her vendetta.

What if Jacob didn't see Renesmee right after she was born?  What if he and Leah left town together instead?  What if he came back five years later?  What if the first time Jacob sees Renesmee, she looks sixteen, and he doesn't know who she really is? 

This story picks up in Chapter 26 of Breaking Dawn with one small change.  Jacob doesn't imprint on newborn Renesmee.  Instead, he leaves town.  When he finally returns for Charlie's wedding to Sue Clearwater five years later, things are very different between the Cullens and the Wolfpack.  How will Jacob fit in with the Cullen family now, and should we be worried about the Volturi? 

 AU. E/B meet under different, violent circumstances, his nature exposed to Bella from the start. Surviving that first encounter together, they navigate a slow road toward friendship, then romance. But obstacles begin to multiply around them, and soon the question arises: are these obstacles random or by design - and by whom?

Based on the following Twilight quote: "All this time [Esme's] been worried bout me, afraid that there was something missing from my essential makeup, that I was too young when Carlisle changed me."

Thanks to christine30974 for helping out with 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.
