What if in the beginning Edward lied to everyone about being in love with Bella? What if originally it actually was all about Bella's scent? And what would happen then if accidentally, much against his will, Edward kind of sort of fell head over heels in love with this not-so-dull human girl?

This is an AU of the Twilight Saga using an entirely different plot as to how, why, and when Edward and Bella fell in love. It offers a different explanation for what was so special about Bella Swan, why Edward vigilantly enforced those physical boundaries, why there's tension between the Cullens and the wolves, and why Edward behaved the way he did not only with Bella but with his family. Expect romance, mystery, angst, and humor. Dark Edward.

~The story of how Angela becomes a Cullen.~

Everyone has a secret that they try to hide, some are just better at it than others. For Angela, that secret was being alone. Assigned to work on history project with Emmett Cullen, he becomes troubled by certain things about Angela that make him question her safety. Later, when Angela realizes that the notes and flowers she has been receiving aren’t from Ben and that someone is stalking her and covering their tracks well enough to make her feel like she is loosing her mind, Emmett and Jasper step in, bringing Angela into the protection and care of the Cullen family.

There is a heavier focus on Angela Webber and her interactions with the Cullens than with the Edward/Bella theme. You have been warned.

:::

“There’s one thing you have to understand about Emmett,” Rosalie told Angela with an almost annoyed sounding sigh. “He has a very severe case of BBS.”

“BBS?” the girl asked with a confused shake of her head.

“Big Brother Syndrome.”

*Special Note: In the books, Angela has younger twin brothers, in this story she does not have any siblings.*

New teacher and aspiring writer, Bella Swan, moves to Seattle. She finds fan-fiction-creation-inspiration in the attractive and surly playboy who lives in the upscale condo across from hers. As her newest on-line story, From Hate to Heat, develops so does a correspondence with a mysterious reader/reviewer of that story. Who, exactly is reading Bella's/bellybeans' fanfic? It's a case of art imitating life and life imitating art. A fan-fic within a fan-fic story with all the canon usuals. Hilarity/UST/Love and lemons.

Bella Swan applies for the job of PA to the rude, arrogant Hollywood film star Edward Cullen.

Can Bella keep her feelings for her boss in check so she can do her job?

A/H, OOC, luscious and graphic lemons and bad language.

A million and one thank yous to Rachel1313 for the spectacular banner! You are my hero, bb!!

This is the Companion story for Need To Escape, told in Robert's point of view.

This story will make better sense if you read at least the first ten chapters of Need To Escape before starting this one.

The chapters of On the Threshold will parallel NTE. 

What was Rob thinking? Now we'll know.
