Summary

No, this is not a vampire story, but supernatural all the same. It is the tale of a princess in peril and the mythical creature who saves her. They will love each other passionately but, as it is the case with other cross species mating, it will not be easy. The time? Oh, some 2,700 years ago.

Ἕλθε, Κύπρι,
Χπρυσίασιν ἐν κυλίκεσσιν ἄβραισ
συμμεμιγμένον θαλίαισι νέκταρ
     οἰνοχόεισα.

Come hither foam-born Cyprian goddess, come,
And in golden goblets pour richest nectar
All mixed in most ethereal perfection,
     Thus to delight us. (Sappho)

A reader asked if this is an Edward and Bella story. Of course it is. Only, he is not a vampire and they have Greek names with the same meaning...just saying

I can hear thoughts if I touch someone. But I'd never hated my 'gift' more than when I touched Edward Cullen for the first time. Figures, the most beautiful boy in the world wants to kill me. Why? I have yet to find out. Run little girl, run.

Watching Over You is a series that will take you out of the harsh world around you, only to throw you into an even harsher one. Isabella was once a guardian angel, but after making the decision to show herself to her assignment, which ultimately killed the girl she was suppose to be guarding, her wings were taken from her and she was thrust into the world of emptiness. After centuries of loneliness, the fallen angel takes it upon herself to protect Edward Mason, a newborn baby. Five years after his birth, Bella makes the same fatal decision for Edward that she made for her first and last assignment. Bella is forced to make hard decisions to protect the one she loves, and will stop at nothing to do it. 

It's Bella's 18th birthday, and what does she want more than immortality? Her darling Edward's loving company—minus the clothing. To her surprise, Edward caves and when Bella gets some, she gets WAY more than she bargained for. Cue Edward's standard self-sacrificing departure, a snarky, homicidal Victoria with some powerful connections, and a new Bella who grows a belly and a backbone and goes on her own little hunting trip in Denali to find answers.

Farewell is a twisted tale where everything is not always as it seems. There is an underlying current of betrayal that may knock your socks off on one or two occasions. A FRIENDLY WARNING: This story is not full of fluffy bunnies and rainbows and unicorns. It has the tendency to be very dark, in both drama and humor, on some occasions. If you choose to read, well, welcome to the dark side lovelies...

Special thanks to randigiles for helping me straighten out my synopsis. You rock, babe!

Isabella Swan is not a normal girl.  She dreams of the present and future, of places she has not been and people she has yet to meet, of events that she hopelessly accepts and tries desperately to change.  Her entire life, Isabella has been going through the motions, numbly resigned to the burdens of her gift, to the tedious existence that she herself has foretold... until one day, she dreams of a boy with amber eyes and copper hair and a meeting in a meadow that will change her life irrevocably.   

Now a recommendation of The Fictionators! (10/1/10)

Vampires have come to Forks, and only one person can possibly stop them. That would be me. I am Eric Yorkie, the Van Helsing of Forks. The True Adventures of a Vampire Hunter. A Twilight AU.

A roman noir interpretation of the Twilight universe. Edward Cullen is a hardboiled detective with a tortured soul. When darkness threatens to consume his city, can he find the strength to overcome it?

AU AH ExB - Rated M for violence, language, and drug references

Can Edward finally leave his solitary, immortal life that began decades ago behind him? Who is the mysterious Isabella and what is her connection to Edward's human life?

As we move through life, the force of fate creates events that we only appreciate when we reflect on our existence.

Unlikely bonds form and tragedy forever changes the lives of Ness, Jacob, his once-lover Kimber, and all of the Cullens. This story contains dark themes, violence, and sexual content of both the naughty and nightmarish kind. Post-Breaking Dawn, turns AU at Renesmee's birth.

Edward never came back. But that's okay, because Bella Swan is doing fine. Her life has been vampire free for four years and, while it was rough at first, she's content with her new life. That is, until a certain vampire casually walks back into her life. Can Bella accept the lessons that life is trying to teach her? Or is her future doomed to be dictated by her past?

The Volturi anticipated Bella's shield and already had a plan in place to stop the Cullens before Alice and Jasper returned. Bella becomes the main target of their attack and is killed. When she awakes, she is alone in a strange place that is eerily familiar. As she tries to find her place in this strange world she learns about herself and the Cullens. AU ending to Breaking Dawn - as canon as possible.
