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,

blondieakarobin

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.

Ok first let me say thanks soooo much for updating..

Then I want to say that my daughter thinks I'm insane yelling at my computer screen cause everytime Edward "assumes" Bella is just having a gay ol time back in Forks without him I scream "no she's not!" "She is horrible, broken, crushed!" "Idiot!" "Go back!" "Your being a ass!" "she would have been better off if you had eaten her then left her!"  or someother variation.

I think Edward in a lot of ways is more comfortable being miserable then being happy.  I know he has a lot of years of practice but, it is a very "human" quality that he practices the whole "I will hurt myself before I let someone else do it" He has serious control issues and when it comes to Bella he discovers that he has lost a huge amount of control.  The overwelming thirst for her blood, he can't hear her thoughts, when he thinks he knows how she will react to something he is often wrong and often when she has a different opinion "his" family sides with her.  So he comes up with all these "rules" to regain the control he lost like not wanting to turn her, or the sexual boundaries. As mature & worldly as he seems at heart he is still a scared 17 yr old boy that is afraid of regection.

I enjoy your story and feel you get his "misery" just right.  Also loved how you put the "I'm not a superhero" in there.  I also wondered in NM why Alice did not have a vision come to her (on their own) regarding Bella before the clift jump, god knows there were enough opportunites.  I can't wait till the next update and sorry if this review went on too long.



Author's Response:

You are insane... course my kids catch me bawling over the computer and think I'm either suicidal or psychotic... 8-)

I think you're right - Edward does enjoy being miserable to some extent, it's his validation that vampires are truly damned, I think.  He also feels like finding Bella was cheating fate - his little piece of heaven.  As Bella spent time in Eclipse understanding what she'd give up to become a vampire, Edward finally learns that he's not completely barred from heaven.  As he learns to accept that fact he can move on to accept that changing Bella isn't damning her...and probably helps him to allow himself to be intimate with her (he learns to have faith...) 8-)

Yes, he is still a 17 year old in many ways, and he comments on that at some point - further ahead, I think 8-)

thanks so much - I love long reviews!

Ok seriously the Edward angst is too much, this is a wonderfully written chapter and thank you for updating but, how he is just sooooo miserable I can't stand it.



Author's Response:

Yeah, it's pretty bad.  That's why I combined these three months into one chapter...I couldn't take it any more, either!  Only one more chapter til Bella comes back - though it has its share of angst, too.  At least there will be a little distraction with the Volturi... 8-)

Thanks for sticking it out with us!  *hug*

I was soooo excited to see you had updated its like waking up and my coffee is already ready and I'm having ice cream for breakfast ;-)

I was a little (very little) disappointed Jasper didn't rip Needy limb from limb, but I understand Bella's point of view about them always having to be on the run.  Needy better thank that guardian angel he has.

AAAAAAAAAGHN  You can't leave it there....Oh how wonderfully written this chapter is.  The whole time I pictured Jasper trying to get her to stay and I felt the sense of dread that something would happen and he should just kidnap her, but no Bella has to be her own person and walk right into the burning building. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update date sooon....It was too long last time

Wow poor Bella...With all the emence guilt she is capable of feeling at any given moment, to learn from Victoria that she had killed her parents out of revenge was awful.  i loved the Goldilocks part.  Jasper is going to flip out and where is Jacob?  Is Jasper going to get Edward and Alice to help get Bella back?  Oh I can't wait please update soon

Oh crap...come on whats with all the cliff hangers....Its Edward isn't it...no he wouldn't have bothered knocking he would have just walked in.  It must be Jacob.  This story is so great and quickly becoming my most favorite.  I loved that Seth is still reasonable and loveable.  Please Please Please update soon

I have gone back in forth on this story since I started reading it at Christmas, first I wanted Edward back cause I couldn't believe that Jasper could replace him, then I didn't cause I loved your Bella & Jasper together, now I want Edward back to realize what he lost.  The next chapter we should know who is at Bella's door right?  I hope its Edward and you do talk about the cullen's a lot in this chapter so maybe???  But I don't think you will go there, its Jacob right?
