Waking up naked in a strange bed is bad enough. Waking up naked and tied up in a strange bed is worse. Even worse than that? Waking up naked and tied up in the bed of the vampire who wants to eat you.  WARNING: DARK SEXUAL THEMES, VIOLENCE, GORE.

1st Place Readers' Choice winner in the "There Will Be Blood" contest.

Pediatric ICU night nurse Bella Swan blogs about her work experiences via "The Nightingale Journals." When Dr. Edward Cullen is named the PICU's newest Fellow, their immediate attraction to one another is undeniable. They are both trying very hard to maintain their professionalism, appreciating one another as colleagues. Despite this predicament, Edward is determined to get to know Bella; when he learns that she is writing a blog, he makes it his mission to read every entry to find out just what it is that makes nurse Swan tick. Epic banter and UST result. Will they ever be able to admit their magnetic draw to each other?

Bella was all set to marry Edward. Her makeup & hair were done. She was in her wedding dress. The guests had all been seated. The music was already playing. Everyone was waiting on her. Then Alice handed her a mirror as instructed by Edward. That's when everything changed.

In a moment of panic, Bella runs to her best friend, Jacob, who just got home but he has some issues of his own. Can they both work through their pain to be each other's happily ever after? And how will Edward react? What will they do when unexpected truths and outside forces try to destroy the solid relationship that they've built?

Note: This story is in canon (with the exception of Bella & Jacob ... because, yes, this is a B/J story) & is AU because if it weren't, I'd be writing Breaking Dawn. This story starts during Breaking Dawn, right before the wedding (obviously) and continues past it. It's rated NC-17 for later chapters (& some stuff that leads  up to it).

invidia (latin): jealousy, envy

Jealousy (jalousie / jealousy): "A sentiment which is born in love and which is produced by the fear that the loved person prefers someone else" (Littré).

RPF one-shot

There's a dusty old bookstore in Seattle where the proprietor keeps odd hours and knows the location of every book in his stock.  What surprises hide in its stacks?

Life is never perfect, the cracks always appear. "My Polaroid would show the face of a girl who has forgotten how to truly smile." Even the strongest of dreams can fail to become enough.

Thank you to the incredibly talented timelights for my banner.

Kristen needs some lovin' only Rob can give. Here’s my take on my favorite couple, Robsten. RPF. All RPOV. Rated NC-17/MA for lemons. Enjoy!

Bella seeks refuge from horrible nightmares at a small all-night diner, where Edward is the new night-shift waiter. Together they help save and heal each other from their pasts and lonely existences, but can they overcome one important obstacle to be together?

History is what defines us, personal and otherwise. To conquer it, one must decide not what they love more, but what's more important, and where one stood—with ALL things considered—could make all the difference.

AU-NM. All TwiCharacters. Nom'd "Best Shock Value" in the Avant Garde Awards, Polled in PTB's "Best Non-Canon Pairing Fic," Nom'd in the Sunflower Awards, featured in TwiFic Database's "Fic of the Week."

One year after the Cullens leave, Bella is thrown back into the vampire world in the least expected way and learns that Edward is not her mate. Pulled in different directions, with nothing being as it seems or what she thought, Bella will need to rediscover herself and where she stands. Yet, Bella is not the only one that has a past or emotions and circumstances that govern her. Unknown history is learned, especially by the Quileute. Secrets and betrayals are revealed, and by more than just a couple of the Cullens. Where love is found and bonds are broken, a war is brewing. And in the midst of another ancient war, what will be the most dangerous weakness? Love? Greed? Family? Old hate? Forgiveness? Will it be everything that makes you, you?

Okay, so my Friday morning started off just like every other fricking day; verbal editing, hallway hookers, dirty looks, and humiliation. Pretty typical. What wasn’t quite planned for was the rather public break-up … or the walk through the meadow that followed. Did not see that coming!
