Outtakes and drabbles from the Sleepers, Awake universe.

What do you get when you combine a summer roadtrip to Chicago, an evening alone, a simple game of poker, and two online friends who have been dying to get their hands on one another? What about when those online friends realize that there might be more to their relationship than they originally believed? Add best friends, roommates, girlfriends, and drunken rugby players to the mix, and you've got yourself a hearty helping of Playing For Keeps, best served steaming hot. ExB/AU/All Human/LEMONS!

Suave, charming, rich kid Edward Cullen has been pursuing Brooklyn bartender Bella Swan for months now, but has never gotten in--until tonight. Will it be everything he expects? Entry for Texts from Last Night Contest. AH. OOC.

 Overweight and underappreciated, Bella has stalled at life. When the chance arises to compete on America's favorite weight loss game show, will she take the opportunity to change her life and find love in the process? *EXPANSION OF THE ONE-SHOT*

This is a companion story to Lost and Found.  Lost and Found is Bella’s POV, and this story is Edward’s POV as they both struggle to learn what it means to find love and happiness.  Follow Edward as he struggles to deal with his past, and learn to live again.  Will Bella be what he needs to heal and learn to love again?  

Bella's best friend is Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen is gay. Not your usual story, eh? No, it's not. In fact, things may seem normal for them and everything, but when somebody's secret is spilled, things start crashing down. Be prepared for some fighting and lots of anger. And then making up, and maybe more anger later. I warned you, things are not as they seem.

Edward is in love with a woman that isn’t good for him. Some might think he chose this life, but what if he hadn’t? Higher powers could be at play, drawing him in, making him unable to ignore the call of the Siren.

What happens at Charlie's wedding is hot and unforgettable for Bella Swan. Charlie's best man has her moaning and melting everywhere from her father's living room to the coat closet at the rehearsal dinner. But great no-strings-attached sex suddenly becomes complicated. And what will happen when Bella meets someone else who just happens to be the best man's son?

Thanks to Leslie (red delicious) for the awesome banner!

Isabella Marian Navarre, otherwise known as Maid Marian is engaged to marry the next King of England, but has other plans for herself.  She longs for freedom and the free agency to choose her future, so she runs away with the help of her friend and companion Alice.  On the way to their new life, they are nearly attacked in Sherwood Forrest, but Robin Hood's Merry Men save them and take them back to their little village to care for them.  The things Bella learns shape her into one of the greatest Queens and leaders of her time and the things she teaches help to form a new world for the people of her country.

They were both on an old, rural, logging route learning to deal with the hand that was dealt to them.  Edward Cullen was dealing with the horrors of his past, whereas Bella Swan was trying to move forward the best she could.  One of the worst storms in North Carolina brought the two of them together.  Can Edward teach Bella how to trust again, and can Bella teach Edward he is worth more than he thinks?  Loosely inspired by The Rescue.
