Summary: *An explanation for my recent behavior*
So... it's been a while. I'M SO SORRY! I started a new AU-H fic called Primary Colors and it has taken over my fic-writing life. I know you're never supposed to do that. It's not cool to start a new story when you already have one going, it's not fair and people hate it. I'm sorry that I have no self-control, I'm sorry I left you hanging.
The good news is that I AM going to finish this story. I'm not giving it up. I have it mapped out in my head and it's going to happen. I just can't seem to focus on it and my writing really, really, really, sucks when I try to force it. Primary Colors is just pouring out right now, so I'm taking advantage of that. I really am sorry. I've been consumed with guilt over this. I hope you won't hate me, and I hope you'll still be here when I come back. If you delete this fic from your favorites list right now I'll completely understand. Please accept this apology. Thank you so much for reading, have an excellent twilight. :)
It's page 449 of New Moon. Bella is running across the plaza in Italy. She has to get to Edward before the clock chimes. Before the Volturi do. His life depends on it.
This time Bella stumbles and doesn't get there in time. What will happen to Edward now? Will Alice make it out of Volterra and keep her promise to Jasper? Will Bella be able to survive, thinking she's failed... alone in Volterra?
Thanks to MrsC for the banner!

your reunion is making me cry....new moon did not....i think the fear of the last few chapters...and the fact that bella thought he was dead as well is making it more emotional...
WELL DONE!
Summary: Edward finally gives in to his desire to "check up" on Bella after he left. He vowed only to watch her from a distance, but how can he resist the force of the love that brought him back in the first place? When Bella's life is in danger again, will Edward be able to save her one last time?
This is a story that's been bouncing around in my head so much it finally demanded to be written. Edward's POV.

Title: Chapter 7: 7. - Patience
Why is it when Edward lurks around and sneaks into bedrooms it's somehow cute and loving, but in reality he's just a creepy crazy vampire stalker...
but, it is Edward so he is not creepy, maybe a little crazy (but aren't we all), and definately a vampire, and probably a stalker, but the nice kind Author's Response: HAHAAaa... He's definitely a little crazy, but who doesn't want a little crazy vampire in their life? Am I right? ;o)
Summary: 
2009 Nominee, Best AU AH, Most Romantic Moment, Indie TwiFic Awards
2009 Nominee, Character You Wish Was Real (Jasper), The Faithful Shipper Awards
A small-town music store... Several music-obsessed slackers with a penchant for sexual misadventures, disastrous love lives and a little too much alcohol... Customers with horrible taste in CDs... Thousands in missing cash deposits... and Carlisle's not even supposed to be here today!
Disc Jockeys is the story of Velvet Records, one of the few remaining independent music stores in Washington State. From shoplifters to has-been singers, from franchise threats to the complicated love lives of the inhabitants within, the employees of Velvet handle it all, under the watchful gaze of Carlisle, their long-suffering manager.
This AU, AH is a spoof of Empire Records blended with healthy cynicism of the Clerks vein. If you haven't seen Empire Records, have no fear; this fic assumes you haven't the faintest idea what "Damn The Man - Save The Empire!" means (but SEE IT because it's an awesome flick).
This fic is rated NC-17 for underage drinking, drug use, sexy naughty times, dark issues including sexual assault and abuse and language. Slightly OOC for some players, canon pairings apply (eventually).

So, as a read this, i still picture Joe, not Carlise.... but that is not your fault. and nice little shout out to High Fidelity there! great job! i'm loving your tale. Author's Response: Carlisle is probably the most OOC for this, although later on he seems more Carlile, if you know what I mean. But he's TOTALLY dressed like Joe and just as awesome. Hell, imagine him with the hair too. Man Anthony Lapaglia rocked.
Summary: It has been 8 long years since Edward left Bella on their wedding day. Bella has finally come back to Forks to visit Charlie, only to find that Edward has also returned, and he has been keeping a big secret from her.

Summary: 
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...

Summary: 
Thanx to the beautiful Anne Cullen for the banner!
Picking up from Edward's leave in New Moon, Bella never rescued Edward, Edward never came back, but somebody did ...
This story is set five years after that sad day Edward left Bella in the woods.
For years Bella searches for Edward, eager to tell him her new found secret. As Bella gives in to her fears, that Edward really is gone, she runs into her past in the least likely place. Only to find out, her past has a secret to tell as well.
"The smell of the worn book had distracted me from the wonderful aroma that had engulfed the room. It had subdued my venom, had forced me back into a human-like state, my inner monster slowly crawling back into his darkened hole. I swallowed one last time, and decided to glance at this glorious teacher. Obviously he was a man of impeccable taste. I might actually enjoy Senior Literature this year.
I glanced up quickly from under my eyelids, my amber eyes focusing on a lanky form in front of me. I froze.
… Oh shit. "

but, aside from my impatience in wanting to know everything and to see the whole "Bella/Edward reunion scene" it's good that it's going slow...the writing is good and believable, and true to character Good job!
can't wait to read more (i'm guessing that it will be quite a few more chapters before we learn everything there is to know...so i'm hooked!
Summary:  
He's a young but jaded keyboard player writing lyrics for his band, Breaking Dawn, and she's a naive and frustrated poet looking to break out of her shell; their words collide on-line.
What happens when they meet in high school, unaware of their literary connection?
OOC, canon at heart.

Ok, first i will have to admit i've been skipping over your story cause it was tagged OOC and AH, and personally i prefer my edward all brooding and sparkly, well, cause i'm an angst whore....but i digress.
So, i skimmed the "most recent" this morning and came across your little tale again, and said, "oh, i'll give it a try"...and...
HOLY SHIT!!! this is such good writing, i absolutely love this story! (yes i've only just finished chapter three) for me at this moment it is hard to come up with the appropriate words to describe my joy at finally reading this story (but that is because my daughter woke me up at 5 am this morning)
i'm sorry i avioded it for so long...and thank you for sharing.

I forgot to write a review last chapter...had a few new things to say
your Cd/mp3 collection must resemble mine all eclectic (sp) and woderful! lol
and i wanted to comment on Edward's draw to the cure while being meloncholy (sp in a bad way) it is always so funny how we are drawn to the cure when lovesick. lol like in the wedding singer when adam sandler's character is upset and he crys to boys don't dry (on a side note i was the ony person in the theater that laughed ><)
i really enjoyed edwards comments on the moody bastard robert smith and his "more fucked up hair" that cracked me up!
a side note - if you haven't hear it check out Korn's unplugged CD with guest stars from the cure - it's so great.
another side note - in american pie when the teenager is getting it on with the mother and the music is mrs. robinson again i was the only person in the theater that laughed (my date even looked at me funny ><)
anyways i've rambled enough - keep writing, i'll keep reading

Banner Manipulation by Averii: http://averii.deviantart.com/art/New-Moon-wallpaper-2-117137252
I never noticed before how he had progressively carried more and more weight. My humanity and his immortality; the call of my blood and his unending thirst; my insecurities and stubbornness; his desperation to keep me safe; my precipitous abandon towards all things dangerous; his sacrifice of his own feelings to protect me; the guilt of his abandonment; the consequences of my relationship with Jacob…every little thing further weighed him down. Today was just the day that he finally succumbed to the burden.
Bella finally sees Edward not as the God she has placed upon a pedestal, but as the man that he truly is. A man that can be broken by the betrayal of his one true love. It is told through the guilty eyes of the woman who tears his heart apart without a second thought, only to realize he too is breakable. She is forced to see all of her actions and insecurities and see what they have done to her love and what she has to do to bring him back to her.

Canon pairings, AU for loosely following Twilight original plot. Some angst -- especially in the beginning.
