One Christmas, Alice and Rosalie invite Bella to join them and their boyfriends on a vacation at Lake Tahoe.  Little does Bella know that Emmett and Jasper have cajoled Edward into going along as well.  Will it be a Christmas to Remember or a Christmas they both wish to forget?

Rating due to Emmett's and Rosalie's foul language and lemons.

Part II (Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice) has started.  I cannot disclose the summary because it may give away the ending to the first part.

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...

Story contains mature themes and is not intended for younger readers.

Kimmi

Kimmi Odell, a physically 17 year old vampire, is about to have her life changed forever. Once a poor girl living on the L.A streets, now a rich girl moving to Forks, Washington, to live with one of her Daddy's friends: Carlisle Cullen.

Seth

Seth Clearwater, a 21 year old werewolf, has his life figured out. That is, of course, until the new girl comes to town. Happy with his pack and his life, will he be able to admit the truth to his friends, as well as to himself, about what this girl means to him? This beautiful red headed girl he knows he can't have, or...maybe...he can have her after all.

"You didn't have to stand up for me like that," I persisted.

"Yes, I did," Seth replied, sounding frustrated and amused at the same time.

"Why?" I asked, stopping in my tracks.

He stopped as well, a few steps away from me, and turned around. He was smiling, that large goofy smile I love so much. "Because, silly girl, I love you." He leaned forward, placed his warm lips on my forehead for a soft kiss, then winked and walked backwards into the trees. Leaving me wide eyed and gaping mouthed where I stood.

Set five years after Breaking Dawn with cannon pairings, Seth/OC, Leah/OC. Will change point of views between Seth and Kimmi for most of the story.

Thank you, justalilcrush, for the wonderful banner. It's beautiful.

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.

Bella Swan applies for the job of PA to the rude, arrogant Hollywood film star Edward Cullen.

Can Bella keep her feelings for her boss in check so she can do her job?

A/H, OOC, luscious and graphic lemons and bad language.

HE'S SMIRKY. SHE'S SNARKY. AND THEY'RE FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER OF DeNIAL TOGETHER!

Edward Cullen is a well-known director for an independent film company, Masen Masterworks. He is filming his latest project in the town of Forks, Washington. Bella Swan is a baker for her best friend Alice at Alice's Wonderland Cafe and Mad Tea Party, also located in Forks. Desiderata is latin for “desired things or something that is needed, wanted.” This story is meant to represent that state of feeling for both Bella and Edward. What happens when their pig-headed stubbornness gets in the way of true love and happiness? Based upon the Desiderata of Happiness by Max Ehrmann and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
