"The bottom line is that you have to choose who you are going to commit to - that's the foundation of true love, not a lack of other options." - Stephenie Meyer.   It has been six years since Bella was left alone and heartbroken in the woods.   She has moved on, creating a happy life for herself in La Push.  That is, until an unexpected meeting with some long-lost friends causes her comfortable life to be thrown into disarray.  Will she have to choose between her husband and the man she can't forget?

It is a long, hot summer in Forks, Washington. Edward is struggling with the aftermath of James' attack. Bella has survived, but it's brought to light all of Edward's worst fears. The Cullens are for a time split between bringing Bella deeper into their world and trying to keep her out of it.

But Fate has more surprises in store for Bella and the Cullens. As the summer grows, Bella slowly realizes that something is happening to her. Too afraid now to trust the Cullens to stay by her side, she struggles with the events on her own.

However, something this big, this monumental, cannot be hidden for long. Join Bella and the Cullens as they discover that which even they could never have predicted: That Bella is a daughter of the Pale Crescent.

Join them as Bella lives her Final Year as human. And even so... she is not entirely human in this final year. She was never human, and she has been marked for death.

Many thanks to Readergoof for the awesome image!

What if there was a game all around you? What if your life was thrown in a game you just can't win? Could you get out without hurting the ones you love most?

Life is just a game and if you're not prepared, game over.

After Edward left Bella in New Moon, she continued to live the pieces of her life that lay intact. Her relationship with Jacob blossomed, she graduated Forks High, and then went on to experience her first year of college. 

However, when she arrives home for summer break, she's confronted by a revengeful Victoria and attacked. The werewolves arrive in time to fend off the crazed vampire, but at the price of Bella's life. Suddenly the existence she once desired becomes a reality, and Bella finds herself alone and fighting an internal battle of Good and Evil. 

How will Bella react when the Cullen family are thrown back into her life after a two and a half year absence?

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.

Bella gets to Edward in Volterra, but for him it's too late. He tells himself that Bella is just a figment of his imagination and completely ignores her. When he steps out into the sun, he believes that he will be killed. This is his wish, since he believes that Bella is dead. But when he is brought back to Aro, he is offered a second chance.

BellaxJacob, BellaxEdward.

"I kept my mouth shut. I would go back home and try to be normal for Charlie. I would try to gain forgiveness from Jacob and be his friend again. Life would go on.

Notice: The rating is bumped up to NC-17 purely for the fact that there is underage drinking starting in chapter three. There probably won't be a lot of it, but this is the only rating under which this event may happen.

(Thank you, readergoof, for the wonderful banner!)

Bella Swan has been a vampire for almost 100 years, and she has an extraordinary gift-one which opens the world to her yet makes her feel all the more lonely, even among her own kind. When she starts over again in the small town of Forks and discovers another coven living there-a coven who also survives on the bloods of animals, can another lonely vampire-a vampire named Edward whose ability doesn't work on her and vice versa-change her life?

What if someone was watching when Edward left? What if they found sympathy for Bella to replace thier anger? This story explores that possibility and throws in the fact that Bella blocks out her year in Forks completely from her memory too.

The rating is for future chapters, in case you were wondering.

What if time itself ceased to have meaning to you? In this story Jasper must make many different decisions. Should he stay in the life he has had though it may be miserable or should he leave the known in search for something better? Rated M for future.

Within a moonlit meadow, the ultimate danger lurks.  Shadows in time, Edward and Bella face an unpleasant truth that may change their destinies forever.

An entire world shifts as lives change, over and over, in the unpredictable currents of time.

It all begins in Forks, under a typically cloudy sky, when Bella gets tired of waiting yet another day for Edward to show up for school, and decides to take matters into her own hands.

This is an alternate universe story.  Canon pairings are adhered to.
