Edward Cullen needs to pass Statistics. Bella Swan is his tutor. She thinks he's a flighty, arrogant--albeit sexy--asshole, and he thinks she's Bipolar, but tries to win her over, anyway.

Can he change her mind, or do first impressions really last?

As a college senior, Edward can't wait to graduate.  He's made some great friends but that's all.  That is until he starts paying attention to the girl down the hall, Bella.  Something terrible happened to her and he finds himself watching over her and the downward spiral that is becoming her life.  Can he help her?  Can he save her when she can't even see she needs saving.

Bella Swan, a young registered pharmacist from New Jersey, takes a job in the Forks, WA Regional Hospital, determined to start her life over.  She meets the handsome, brooding Edward Cullen, who also works in the hospital's pharmacy...but on the night shift, of course.

Will Edward be able to control his agonizing thirst for Bella's blood? How will the emotionally wounded Bella react to her increasing attraction to him? Can Jacob be effective as a minor, if consequential, character? And most important, can Serendipitous refrain from the gratuitous use of hokey questions to attract readers?

 Canon pairings; the Cullens are still vampires.  Edward's and Bella's ages are advanced to their early-mid 20s, to give them more adult sensibilities.  Other than that, the story parallels "Twilight," with some new adventures in line with the characters' ages and situations.  The chapters alternate between Edward's and Bella's POV. While it's not a *funny* version of "Twilight," there are definite sparks of humor in it.

When Charlie is diagnosed with cancer, Bella decides to move to Forks to help him through his treatment and recovery. What happens when the resentful son of the new cancer doctor meets up with the reason he was dragged to this small town? AH. E/B.

Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly.  As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?

To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.

Show and Don't Tell.

Edward Cullen is a vampire living alone, away from the rest of the Cullens, with nothing but his music to fill the emptiness of his lonely heart. Little does he know that his quiet seclusion will never be the same again when the shy, beautiful Bella Swan comes into his life. Quiet but inquisitive, Bella is more than curious about Edward and his strange habits. Little does she know that his secret could threaten her very life. Will Edward be able to control his appetite for her blood and satisfy his yearning for this enchanting young woman?

Bella works at an uber trendy fashion magazine at the Upper East Side. She also took a part time job at an orphanage. What happens when her path crosses with a gorgeous, but distant and ever furious soccer coach, Edward Cullen? Ratings may go up.
