Bella and Edward prepare to go to Gatlinburg Tennessee for a traditional McCarty Clan Christmas. But what's the holiday season without a little drama...

Inspired by the Bing Crosby Christmas song of the same name

On a rainy Sunday in New York, Bella finds herself dateless by her fiancee-to-be, Jacob Black. But as they say, New York is full of possibilities. Bella just happens to bump into one on her way home.

This is loosly based off the movie Sunday In New York. Just some components are taken out of it.

B/J, eventually B/E.

Romance/Drama, NC-17

A college love story turns into a long distance love story. And, when it seems like Bella's life is finally getting itself back together (at least back into the same zip code), something happens that rips everything apart. Unsure of herself or how to cope, she struggles to stay afloat in the aftermath. As she spirals out of control, she meets someone who sees her for who she really is and wants to help. Can she allow herself to love again when she knows just how easily it can all be pulled out from under her?

Bella/Jacob at the beginning, but will become Bella/Edward

Edward Cullen is a musician who's been away from the town of Forks for over 10 years. When he returns, he runs into an ex-lover, Bella Swan, who he spends an evening catching up- will he try to rekindle the flame? Inspired by Dan Fogelberg's 80's hit "Same Old Lang Syne"  AH/AU – Rated M

After a five year relationship with James, Bella is left a broken and abandoned single mother. With the help of his and her best friend, Edward, she finds her way towards happiness. When Edward and Bella's long kept hidden feelings come to a head, things take an awful turn. Through heartbreak and tragedy, will Bella still prevail by breaking even?

**I own nothing. This story contains adult situations, scenarios of physical abuse and is rated NC-17 for lemons in later chapters**

17 y/o Bella has her life all mapped out, but on a Mexican vacation, she finds herself being confided in by Edward, a surfer who's burdened with the secret of his baby sister being his daughter--and wanting to parent her himself. He's finally found a girl he can relax with, knowing Bella's not going to get pregnant to trap him. More than he knows. Babies aren't on Bella's list for another 10 years.

Rated NC-17 for graphic language and lemons.

This short story and it's sequel were written for IRISH-SIDHEESER for her donations in Fandom Gives Back: Eclipse Edition back in 2010. It's purely for fun and won't be for everyone.

"It's like I'm the bullet in a gun.  One pull of the trigger and it could mean the end of someone's life..." Can Edward help save Isabella from her self-destructive behaviors or will he just push her closer to the edge?

This story contains adult subject matter, strong language, controversial topics, drug and underage alcohol use, mentions of rape, consensual sexual content, and self-injury.

She waited with bated breath for each post card she would receive.  Each month it would come from a different locale.  Each time she would hope that it would bring her news that he was headed back to her and to all of the dreams that he sold her.
