Summary: "Your soul is part of who you are. It's your make-up, your personality, your sense of truly living... your emotions, your mind. But mine was broken." No one understood what I'd gone through. Not the phyciatrist, not my parents, not the teachers, and most of all, not Emmett McCarty. He didn't know anything about me, what had happened to me, what I'd been through. All he knew - was that he wanted me, and somehow, that was enough for him to treat me like the worthless female I was.

This is a one-shot (outtake) from the multi-chaptered story, "Nice Catch".
Picks up immediately following Ch. 16 but can stand alone. Please note that this story is not Rated T as the original story is. Edward and Bella are reunited after almost nine years apart. Changes and circumstances are powerful, but nothing can compare to undying love and its ability to make everything possible. ExB. lemon.

Summary: AU, kind-of Post-Twilight and right before New Moon.
Bella believes that everything in "Twilight" happened. When Edward sucked the venom out at the end of the book, she fell unconscious. When Bella Swan wakes up in hospital dazed and confused, she asks for Edward. She's told that he's not real, Forks, the Cullens. Nothing had been real. Bella won't believe it. She's told she's been in a psychiatric ward the last 7 years of her life suffering from schizophrenia, where she suffers serious delusions and had created herself an imaginary world. Bella suffers as she swaps continuously between a world she's told is a lie and wants to live in and the 'real' world...but, is that in fact the real world? Or is she in fact in a coma from her injuries and trapped within her own mind?

Special Update:
For personal reasons (a ridiculously full teaching schedule and being recently put in charge of a bi-annual local conference and ongoing project), I am no longer able to reply to reviews and questions. But that said, I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYBODY for the wonderful feedback and kind words that have been sent my way since the completion of this story in August 2009. I do still check my messages about once every 1-2 weeks and read *every* review. I just have too many to reply to anymore, but I didn’t want anyone to think I was ignoring her/him in particular, or didn’t appreciate readers taking time to leave a review. Writing this story was tons of fun and I’m thrilled readers seem to enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the chance to write it. I can’t tell you how flattering that is!!! As I used to reply to all reviews, I feel a little badly about this decision, but work has been requiring virtually all of my time since the new (academic) year began.
Best to all of you in 2010 and beyond!

Summary:
“This is your wedding, Bella, and it shouldn’t be something you have to merely tolerate. I want you to want this for you, not because you feel that you owe it to me, Alice or anyone else for that matter!”
Edward grows concerned about Bella in the weeks leading up to their wedding day, as he sees how uncomfortable she is with the idea of a big wedding. He wants Bella as his wife, but not at the risk of her sanity! He begins to wonder if there is another option?
Bella is struggling with more than just the thoughts of a fancy wedding; the mere idea of marriage is causing her to stress...
"Nothing about my relationship with Edward was conventional, and I found it hard to reconcile our extraordinary bond with something as staid and traditional as marriage. I had to tell him though... I cleared my throat, and then stared at the ceiling, unable to meet Edward’s gaze as I spoke the words that would undoubtedly break his heart. “Maybe I do have some misgivings,” I mumbled, so low and so quickly that it would have been unintelligible to anyone not equipped with supernatural hearing skills."

Based on my favorite novel, The Every Boy by Dana Adam Shapiro, with some Twilightesque twists.

Summary:
My mother always said that loving someone is easy if you can manage to keep your heart open for them. What she didn’t tell me was that love is also giving someone the power to destroy you, knowing they will, and forgiving them for it in advance. I couldn’t forgive like that. I wouldn’t.
"I've never understood how one person can love another so profoundly, like you love Alice, how he loves Bella, how... well, how you all love each other. My mother used to love like that, but me... I don't think I can. Whatever you see in me, it's not love. It's this lost, ugly thing I've given you to deal with. It's pitiful."
Charlotte Grace lives in ignorance, a human in a human's world just beginning to see how heartless a place it can really be. Her first impression of Alice Cullen is skewed and fleeting - a little girl wandering out into busy Seattle traffic, lost, confused. She makes a split-second decision that thrusts her headfirst into a chaotic, supernatural mess of guilt and fault, and comes quickly to see that there are some things not even the greatest of fortune tellers can foresee. The path she always thought she'd travel is broken and left undiscovered, and in its place, will the Cullens by her side, she finds herself wandering life's much more dangerous backroads.

Summary:
Edward Cullen is a somewhat lonely boy who only associates with the people he loves and trusts. He refers to these people as his family, and he doesn’t just count blood as a relation.
He’s almost perfectly content to remain the sort of seventh wheel in his family, but the summer before his Senior year at Forks High begins, he meets Bella Swan. Bella is a loner, too, but she’s also completely different from Edward and anyone he’s ever met.
So what happens when Edward meets this beautiful young woman during his last childhood summer? What will he learn, and what mistakes will he make? What mistakes will he allow her to make?
And, more importantly—can the connection they build last through the summer?
