Will she take a bite of the forbidden fruit, or will he give her a second chance?

"I could hear his breathing, feel his eyes boring into me. I wondered what he saw there. Did he see the sadness of a little girl who could not die? Did he see the yearning of a child who could not grow up? A girl who could never age a day that could never stand beside him in civil society as his wife? I would never be a mind reader. No matter how much I wanted to know, even for a second, what he was thinking... I would never know."

When Bella was three, she was found abandoned outside of a hospital in L.A. She was placed with Carlisle, Esme, and their twin boys, Emmett and Jasper. What happens when they move to Forks? NC-17/AH/Canon pairing.

Edwards conscious life came to an end in September 1918 and returned after three days of unrelenting pain.  How did he meet Carlisle, why did he seem so familiar.  Why did Carlisle chose Edward to be the one after all his years of being alone.  Edward might be talented but why and how did that influence Carlisle's decision. 

With Carlisle’s emotions opened by Edward and their new family, a new challenge arises when he finds Esme now a woman, dying.  Buried emotions flare and he takes another chance.

In canon and historically accurate.

“It’s all real. They did this, but I’m still here. Always, Bella. Find me.”

Those cryptic words, whispered in a last breath, continue to haunt Bella Swan five years after the supposed death of her love, Edward Masen.

After a series of mistakes and heartbreaks, Edward long ago committed himself to a secluded double life - by day a Customer Service Rep at a questionable corporate organization, and by night a God of the Open Mic stage. Coworker Bella is quirky and observant, and her curiosity about Edward may eclipse his need to keep his life private.

AH Bella has lived with a jaded perception of love, mainly because she and her family were/are con artists. When her path crosses with Edward, a handsome, rich doctor, the opportunity is too great to pass up, and he becomes her next mark. Along the way she falls in love, quickly changes her plans to be with Edward. But fate has different plans for her, taking her away from her beloved. Edward always knew that there was a mystery surrounding Bella, but it will take one hell of a bachelor party, two marriages, a funeral, a chance encounter, and a lot of mistakes to finally lead him back to Bella and the truth.

Starts with a brief look at the present and then goes to the past to find out what happened.

Told from both Edward and Bella's POV and possible other POV. All cannon eventually.

Excerpt from Chapter 19:

“So… you’re alive?” I asked nervously, “I mean what happened we all thought you were dead.”

“I know… I’m sorry it was all just a misunderstanding, an accident.”

“You accidentally... faked your own death?” I questioned her.

“Wait, that didn’t come out right."

PRESENTING:

What Should've Happened in Breaking Dawn

Picking up right from where Eclipse left off in the meadow, Bella changes her mind. Instead of marrying Edward and having him turn her, she decides to go to college with him instead after they make love for the first time. But upon hearing about this, the Volturi kidnap Bella. But what plans do they have in mind for her?

In the meantime, the Cullens and the wolves team up to find Bella. But complications arise between Edward and Jacob who seem to be getting closer and closer to killing one another. They both have secrets that they've been keeping from Bella. But what will Bella do when the Volturi reveal everything to her?

Forever Dusk turns the world of The Twilight Saga completely on its head. It's darker than any of the original books and presents a twist that will change your view on the entire series forever.

It's time for Bella to choose...Life or Death?

The epic story of Carlisle Cullen began in 17th century England. Since the fateful night he was transformed into a vampire Carlisle has searched for two things: redemption in the eyes of God, and unconditional familial love. Follow Carlisle through the old and the new world as he meets friends and enemies on his journey toward his destiny as an inspiration to vampires everywhere. Carlisle and his family will discover, however, that love is eternal, but life is not.

 From the moment Edward first met Bella, he knew she was not like other humans. She brought out the human in him, the one that would fall in love with her. She also brought out the vampire in him, the one that thirsted for her blood. She had the power to shield her thoughts from him, but what if she also had the power to unleash Edward’s lost memories? What if he began to remember, not only the details of his own human existence, but also remembered how to dream the way humans do? What would he discover about his past?
