Kristen voices her insecurities again; Rob's not having it.

part four of The Robsten Sexcapades.

In Vanity and Patience, Rosalie's patience and pride are tested, as she is forced to endure Emmett's struggle for control as a blood-thirsty newborn and wait for him to notice her. Emmett enjoys his newborn strength and abilities, but is faced with the first-time feeling of remorse for his uncontrollable acts of violence and cold indifference while blinded by bloodlust. Can he control his thirst enough to recognize his soulmate in his beautiful angel before it's too late? 

This is a collection of V&P's side-shots, from Emmett's point of view.

Updates will be slow, as V&P is my priority to complete. They will not be posted in sequential order at all times, as my writing will be based on how I feel.

Warning: Lemons in future chapters. Rated NC-17 for a reason. Violence, adult language, drugs, assault, and sexual content.

"You know that boy who genuinely enjoys the company of a girl but would rather eat dirt than admit it, just for the sake of his pride, so he teases her and pretends she has cooties instead? I was that boy and Kristen was that girl, all that changed was the respective ages."

What happens if two people are pushed together from all possible directions? How long can they resist before they cave in? What if those two people were slightly more stubborn than the average person? This is a story about pushing the boundaries of friendship and learning that giving in doesn't always mean you've lost.

My version of Robsten.

A mosaic freely drawn from book and movie, wanders into AU as the story unfolds ... ....

Showing is stronger than telling.  Forks was just like I remember it.  I felt the short little hairs on the back of my neck stand straight on end.  Cut your losses before they can become catastrophic.   “It’s not fair,” I say aloud.   The night wind swirls, lifting the fine surface powder from the tops of the snowdrifts, coating us in diamond dust.  

Moving to Forks, spending the last eighteen months of her childhood with a father she barely knew ... it seemed like a good idea at the time.

A/N about the rating: The narrative in this story ranges between PG-13 (most of it) and R (occasional language and occasional non-graphic reference to mature themes). An isolated technicality in a late chapter has necessitated changing the rating from R to NC-17, however R is a much better measure of the farthest outer limit of what the reader will encounter in this tale.

Extreme circumstances force Bella and Edward into an intense relationship amidst devastation, but will their foundation be enough to survive reality? AH. B/E. Rated NC-17. 

This is a citrus flavored outtake based on my multi-chapter fic After the Rain.

If you haven't read AtR you'll still enjoy it; you will just be missing some background material. Enjoy!
