Updated November, 2009

This story is now COMPLETE!

Dark Side of the Moon is my version of New Moon from Edward’s point of view.  Witness how Edward agonized over leaving Bella, hunted for Victoria, faced the Volturi, and came to realize that with Bella was where he was meant to be. 

This tormented story has been a part of my life for about a year and a half – and what a ride it’s been!  Meant to be canon and in character, I hope you enjoy angsty Edward and his suffering during New Moon.  As unhappy as Bella was during this time, Edward suffered so much more (I think).  So be sure and crack open a fresh box of tissues before reading!

 Thank you to everyone for all the reviews, especially to those of you who reviewed each and every chapter!  Your support and loyalty have been the driving force to me getting this project finished – and I hope it’s lived up to all of your expectations.

Love you all,

PS.  As one last thank you, I’ve posted a formatted, printable copy of Dark Side of the Moon at http://bit.ly/2vLHMi, as will also post as an electronic version suitable for viewing on a kindle or MobiReader.  I’m also posting a ‘Director’s Cut’ that includes citations of all of Bella’s quotes from Twilight, research notes, and even funny comments from my betas in this version in the same directory.

Use of the dialog from the series is just for clarity - Stephenie Meyer owns all things twilight!  I'm making absolutely nothing from this work.

An in canon retelling of Breaking Dawn from the perspective of the thoughtful and pensive Edward.

Time passed, and I was blissfully unaware. I existed only in this moment with her. Hope burgeoned deep within me as I gazed at the sleeping enchantress. She was my salvation… my reason for carrying on what I had once believed to be a pointless and cursed existence. Through Bella’s love, I was redeemed. Through her, I’d finally found the peace that had eluded me for so many years. And so it was here, in our bubble, that I remained for as long as time permitted. Lulled into a state of relaxation by the steady pounding of Bella’s heart, and the rhythmic crashing of the waves.
