It was said of early vampire books and movies that vampirism was simply a poorly disguised substitute for sex. Back in the day, the entire genre was considered extremely risque'. With that in mind, this is a parody of Midnight Sun replacing all the vampirism with sexuality - no blood lust - just extreme human lust. AH/AU and consequently, OOC.  Thank you to Debussy_This for the fabulous (and hysterical) banner!!!

Bella is living a tourtured exsistence, a slave to her crazed step father. When Edward saves her from his murderous clutches, they find themselves being swept on a tidalwave of a fate. Cannon pairings, lemons in later chapters.

Edward is married and devoutly Catholic, but what happens when he meets the love of his life two years later? Will he follow his heart or will he honor his past commitments and stay true to his faith? AU/AH, B/E/T, A/J, R/E

School is in session and there are lots of lessons to be learned. Bella Swan, the newest student at Forks High School, needs to amend her shy and introverted ways and her guidance counselor has just the thing: tutoring! Besides, newbie Bella is probably the only student naïve enough to tackle Edward Cullen, a juvenile delinquent in training. Edward’s main pastimes include avoiding school and hanging out with his lovelorn, best friend Jasper Hale. In Edward’s opinion, Jasper needs a tutoring session of own in order to get over his ex- Alice. However Alice is too busy trying to console her friend Rosalie –who is only interested in one lesson: how to win the affections of Edward Cullen.  

Living on the streets is hard for Bella Swan but not as hard as putting up with Edward Cullen when he drags her into his world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.  She needs a lucky break and he needs an image make-over.  Will they be able to help each other out before they kill each other?

Kick-ass banner by Irritable Grizzzly.

*Banner by time_lights over at Livejournal*

After receiving an invitation to write the biography of the severely reclusive author Ethan Church, Bella develops a reluctant obsession with his novels and by extension him. When she accepts his offer, the old, dying man she's presented with and the young, too perfect man she comes across on the nearly empty estate have her convinced she's missing some very important parts of the story.

Dr. Edward Masen is a single father of two, a recent widower, and in desperate need of a nanny. Bella Swan just graduated from Penn State University with degrees to become a teacher.  With dreams temporarily on hold, she is literally knocked off her feet by a certain Masen boy, or perhaps two.  After much public begging from them, Bella accepts the job.  Hey, it's not teaching, but a job's a job, and a job means money. What could possibly go wrong?

Thank you Lou for the fabulous banner! I absolutely LOVE it!

Both damaged, Edward and Bella meet and the chemistry is instantaneous.  Will she still love him when she discovers that he is the criminal defense attorney that got her rapist acquitted just two days before her attack?  Can he forgive himself enough to give her justice?

Ten years.

Ten years have passed since Edward left Bella that day in the woods. He doesn't know what happened to her. He doesn't know if she's happy. He doesn't know if she's had the life that he intended for her.

Alice has developed a new talent closely related to her precognition, and she finally prevails upon Edward to check up on Bella, for her and Esme's sake if nothing else.

And what they see will destroy the fragile peace that Edward has lived in for the past decade.

(Note: this is most definitely not a Bella/Jacob story. In fact, it is at its heart a Bella/Edward story.)

The rating is for violence and character death, not erotica. If you're looking for erotica... sorry. Wrong place.

Edward is a 27-year-old alcoholic/addict struggling with his recovery. Bella is a 23-year-old who's moved back home after college. This fic chronicles how they meet, fall in love, and struggle with the complexities of their relationship. Not nearly as maudlin as it sounds (I hope).

Rated NC-17 for graphic (and sometimes non-romantic) sex, drug and alcohol use and abuse, profane language, and brief (very brief) suicidal ideation (although NO suicide attempts). No sexual assault, no cutting.
