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.

I never in my wildest dreams thought that something I wrote would inspire someone to make something like this.   I am so touched.  THANK YOU DD!

 “Some people say that when you die, your life flashes in front of your eyes. Mine did not. All I could see before me was William’s face, his eyes gazing at me. I hoped I'd be with him soon.”

 Esme and Carlisle are so happy and in love - but how did it all begin? What were the circumstances that caused Esme Evenson to attempt to take her own life? How will Carlisle react when he finds out that by making her immortal like him; that he wasn't actually saving her from death. She had welcomed it.

Follow Esme on the last months of her human life, her decisions for the future and then dealing with one of the most heartbreaking things a woman can ever go through - the loss of a child. Watch her learn to accept her life as a vampire and her new companion and maker, Carlisle Cullen. Happily Ever After doesn't come easy.

Learn what makes Esme who she is and how she has the amazing ability to love and care for others.

Rated NC-17 for mentions of rape and abuse, infant death and for lemons in later chapters.

Bella returns home for Christmas for the first time in 5 years. Who awaits her when she arrives?

My one shot written for The Southern FanFiction Review's Countdown to Christmas.

Rated M for lemony goodness.

When my mother found me, fate seemed to link us together. Not only was I the daughter she never dreamed she'd have, I was unusually unappetizing for a human. However, being raised by vampires does not come with out conflict. This is my tale about growing up Cullen and finding love in the most unexpected place.

The world's largest coven is about to get a whole lot larger!

"I was a burnt offering, his for the taking. Edward truly was a master of anything and everything he touched. He owned me completely, in a way no one else ever could, or ever will. He played me like an instrument, far better than he played his beautiful piano... Pushing all the right buttons, pulling all the right strings, and fine tuning me into perfection, until I sang out in pleasure, moaning a symphony of his name, crying out a harmony for his ears only..."

Edward and Bella spend a little quality time together... includes vampire-resistant handcuffs, torn bedding, mischievious teasing and a very impatient Bella.

Warning: Only for mature readers.

Edward Cullen is Dr. Bella Swan's new patient. Despite being 107, he's still afraid of the dark. Can he be cured? Or will he be doomed to an eternity of sparkling balls? A comedic tale of getting over your fears.

Bella Swan is, according to her friend Jasper Hale, "that girl that every guy in high school falls in love with at least twice." Jasper's new foster brother, Edward, is convinced he's kidding. After all, he can see that Bella's acting, that her perfection is the cover for her true self.

But Edward has secrets of his own, and he's sure he'd be better off without them coming to the surface. His past of multiple foster houses and gang violence aren't the worst of his problems.

Their meeting is an accident. Or maybe fate.
