What will happen when Edward and Bella's paths cross?  Can they save each other?

Something happened, someone messed up, and what once seemed perfect was no longer. They must fix what was broken if they wished to be happy again. Come along as high school sweethearts, Bella and Edward, navigate this Broken Avenue to find where they went wrong.

OOC. AH. An outcast who had everything, but eventually lost the one thing that was truly important to him. She was back and her presence would turn his world upside down again. 'He needed her but she left him.' Mature content. E/B    

I think the title sort of speaks for itself, but if not: Edward & Jasper are Private Detectives in NYC. Nemeses, but forced to work together to save a young girl from a horrible fate. This is Jasper/Edward slash, but not too heavy on the slash.

Bella and Alice have survived everything together, including the infected, or as some call them... 'zombies'. How much longer can they survive on their own. Can they trust anyone else they meet on the way?  cannon, ExB

Incredible Banner by readergoof...she even found a white bikini!!  Thank you!!

A jilted bride and a jilted groom decide to go on their respective honeymoons.  When fate brings them together at the same resort in the Bahamas, how much will they have in common besides broken hearts?  Can you start over on your honeymoon?  What do they each bring to the table?  It all starts with a white bikini…where will it end?

AH/Canon couples.  NC-17 for a reason (I mean, it’s me for crap’s sakes!).  Language (again, it’s me).  Shifting perspectives, and unusual twists.  Who doesn’t love a beach getaway?

Bella wants a new life, a new beginning, a peace of mind. A broken girl. An unwanted pregnancy. She has a choice and she gives a piece of her soul away. There is no turning back. Can Edward put her back together and rescue her from her mistakes? AH/AU/R

One of the key events that creates the epic nature of the Edward/Bella love story is the moment that Bella’s scent first hits Edward, and Edward somehow resists.

But what if Edward’s self control had kicked in just a moment too late? What if his proximity to Bella once his conscience reawakened was just too much, and he couldn’t restrain himself. What if he bit her, and Bella had a new life forced on her, before she had any desire to live for an eternity?

Before she had experienced Forks High School, made friends, and re-connected with Jacob. Before she knew what Edward was. And most importantly, before they fell in love.

What would Twilight look like then?

This is the story of the seemingly insignificant moment that changed everything…

With the battle between The Cullen family and friends and the Volturi coming to a life changing end, new ties are made. Nema found Seth, and through the magic of imprinting their love flourished, but with jealousy filling the air will their love for one another be enough? Rasika imprinted on Antonia, a former member of the Volturi guard. They completed and healed the hurt from each other’s past, but will Antonia’s blood lust destroy their relationship?  When Renesmee returns to Forks, can she endure the secrets her friends have been keeping? And can she and Jake manage to forget the past and find their way back to each other? As Claire’s feelings start to change for Quil a bit earlier than he expected, will he be ready or will he let the chance to be with Claire get away?  Also, when tragedy strikes, how will the group cope? Up until now, no one has seen or heard from Aro and Nahuel since they escaped from the battle.  What will the group do if they come back to retaliate?

***This is the sequel to both What Lies Ahead and Growing Up Volturi. It is not necesarry to have read these stories first.***

Growing Up Volturi: After the almost war with the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn, Aro’s curiosity and desire to have hybrids in his guard leads him to Mexico City to find Nahuel’s sisters and father. Nahuel’s younger sister Antonia, a powerful telepath even as a baby, is only a year old when she arrives in Italy and is raised by her sister Hunter and Aro. She joins the guard when she is six, but soon becomes unhappy with the direction her life is heading in as a member of the elite guard and Aro’s executioner. Nahuel goes to the Volturi to start another war with the Cullen’s and during this fight for her survival she is imprinted on by Sam’s half sister, Rasika. Rasika was born and raised in London after her father left Sam’s mother. He left her mother soon after he found out about her pregnancy. At sixteen Rasika’s adopted father and mother moved her family to Toronto. When she was nineteen a nomadic vampire in Toronto prompted her transformation into a wolf. She survived as a wolf for thirteen years before she found the Quileutes.

In What Lies Ahead, Renesmee Cullen discovered the magic of imprinting and through many ups and down of a life filled with secrets, she came to terms about her feelings for Jacob. When a threat from the Volturi came the family was thrown into turmoil and forced once again to face the Volturi in a fight.  With the Volturi not taking no for an answer, the family was forced to set their one final plan into action.  They sent Nessie and Jacob to Florida, safely out of harm’s way.  While settling into life with her grandmother, Renee, Nessie received the news that three of her friends were killed in battle.  Guilt and sadness transformed her into someone that she could no longer recognize, and she suppressed anything involving the past.  All she ever wanted was to return home to her family and friends, but when the call came she was too distraught to face them, sending Jacob on the journey home alone.

Michael is a three hundred year old vampire who has been looking for someone since before he was changed. He, like Alice, Edward, Jasper, and Bella, is gifted, with the ability to feel energy vibrations of people, which tell him who they really are and what they are feeling. He comes to live with the Cullens because he is tired of being alone, so he visits his old friend Carlisle who welcomes him with open arms.

Cheyenna is a 23 year old woman (human), who has gone through a lot of traumatizing events in her life. She is a nurse at the hospital in Forks, Washington, and did I mention she is gifted as well.

Michael is giving up on finding someone to be with. He goes about his normal routine at the hospital making rounds, doing surgeries, and saving lives. Little does he know that the new nurse on his unit is going to flip his world upside-down. Cheyenna is trying to forget her past and move on with her life but how will the addition of a vampire, who thirsts for her blood, affect her new life in Forks.

Rating is NC- 17 for future chapters.

The first few months after the change were always the most difficult. Instincts rule over rationality. Since raging thirst is never far from a newborn’s mind, it often makes for careless choices.

The girl would need supervision. A patient teacher to guide her and keep her out of trouble. I didn’t just feel obligated to fill this role, I yearned to fill it.
