Seventy-five years is a long time if you're human.  For an immortal its a drop in the bucket!

It is seventy-five years after Renesmee was born, and the Cullen family is moving back to Forks.  How do they react to being "home"?  And what do they do when yet another once in a lifetime (or rather existence) event occurs?  And how do the Volturi take to this development?

"Disarm you with a smile,
And leave you like they left me here,
To wither in denial.
The bitterness of one who's left alone.
Ooh, the years burn."

       -Smashing Pumpkins, Disarm

This is an alternative plot to when Bella is on the cliff, picking up from the top of page 358 of New Moon. Bella does not rush back into Edward's arms. Bella struggles a great deal with depression, anxiety, and esteem. Several characters may be slightly OOC in that they use occasional profanity.

"This story contains incidents of self-harm. If this is disturbing to you, please do not read."

What if Bella broke down on the cliff and truly tried to kill herself? What if Edward got the news in a different way and hadn't gone to Volterra? Where would it leave Edward and Bella? Where would it leave Bella and Jacob? This story will be an angst filled alternative, but I do believe in happyish endings.

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?

Jacob's feelings on getting the invitation to Bella's wedding.

Bella Swan and Jacob Black are right on the doorstep of happily ever after.  But a few seconds spent in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Bella’s in deep.  The gritty underworld of Chicago has its drug lords and its gangs, and then there are the Cullens, a family of elite power and extreme influence.  In the midst of murder, extortion, and various other illegal pastimes, can Bella remain loyal to Jacob and resist the pull of the beautiful and magnetic Edward?

They were both seeking the same thing: An end. What neither of them expected to find was something to live for, something that would entirely change the way they viewed this life that had broken them.

Hope.

Mistakes were made and promises broken. Now they need to pick up the pieces and learn to live after chasing death for so long.

“I don’t want to break this spell. This delicate, fragile mess that we’ve woven from our pasts is all we have. All I have.”

A phone-call from Tanya in Denali changes everything for our favourite vampires.

Set just before the start of Twilight, this is the story of Carlisle's biological daughter and her impact on the Cullens.

All recognisable characters belong to Stephenie Meyers.   Sarah Cullen is my creation.

 Three years after the meeting with the Volturi, Renesmee and Jacob go out to La Push Beach on a particularily hot summer's day, while the rest of the Cullens are out hunting or stay at home. Due to Alice's blindness in Jacob and Renesmee's case, she doesn't see when the Volturi send out three of their guard, Jane, Demetri and Felix, to meet them on the way home.

In Volterra, things so from bad to worse. Jacob and Renesmee are the other's weakness, and they are each taken advantage of in ways that harm the people they love.

Will the Cullens discover what has happened and take the bait? Or will they lose part of the family forever?

A story about the ultimate threesome: Edward, Bella and Jake. They're all juniors in Forks in this AU-human take on things. The story's very NC-17 with Edward and Jake both bi, but it's not PWP - there's actual plot and a fair amount of angst, humor and even occasional fluff, as these three messed-up kids figure out their complicated three-way relationship. Don't be put off if you're not a Jake fan - this story's converted some diehard anti-Jake readers.

Bella Swan has never been sexually satisfied by a man. After many one night stands and useless relationships, she has given up all hope that a man could pleasure her.

That is until one snowy night when Bella meets a mysterious, gorgeous man in a web cam chat room who convinces her he could change everything she knows about sex.

A TLYDF Recommendation

This is  a journey into the mind of Rosalie as she struggles to deal with the pain of her injuries, insecurities with her mangled appearance, and her opposition for Jacob and Renesemee's developing relationship.

 A tale of action, deceit, intrigue and sexual awakening.
