Guided by Bella’s inner strength and determination, Edward must face both his human past and his vampiric future.  Where will his decisions take their relationship? New Moon with a twist.

Thanks to coleen561 for the Awesome banner and editing advice!

Bella's life was irrevocably changed by the vampires who left her behind. Alone in the world now, she finds herself drawn to another. Fighting for her life has changed her and now, the new family she has found will change her as well...

What if Edward did not take the dramatic route and wait till noon to step into the sun in Volterra?  What if Alice and Bella were incapable of getting to him in time?  What if he was not the only casualty of bad timing and misread visions?

This story takes us down an alternate path than what we followed in New Moon.  The Cullen’s are no longer whole and Bella is so badly damaged that she may be unreachable as she closes herself off to the pain of the outside world.

Can a new love save her?  Can his voice pull her from the darkness?

This story is rated NC-17 for major angst, suicide and the possibility of far off lemons (who am I kidding?  If you have read any of my stories, you know there will be lemons…but not for a while).

BANNER BY THE INCREDIBLE READERGOOF!!!

Bella needed to change it up. Moving to Savannah for a year after graduating from UGA seemed like a good plan. However, bills needed to be paid, and money was tight. Unfortunately, her playboy boss, Edward, doesn’t make her nights easy. After reconnecting with old friends, a pattern of miscommunication about engagements and one night stands, and a stalker dead set on keeping the pair apart, Bella and Edward find themselves thrown together in a whirlwind of events that will shape both of their lives in ways they never imagined. It's gonna get hot in the South!

Set in Savannah, Georgia. OOC, AU-AH. Canon couples. Lots of lemons...it's rated NC-17 for a reason.  Some violence, though not much.  The devil went down to Georgia...you wanna go? 

Thanks to AcrosstheSkyinStars for the amazing banner.

After getting lost in the woods on a camping trip, Bella finds a man who is living a different life. Can two such different worlds mesh when communication is nearly impossible? 

(There are no werewolves or vampires in this fic)

Summary: Edward Cullen follows his brother, Emmett, to Forks, Washington. He’s made it his life’s mission to follow Emmett wherever he goes, cause havoc, death and mayhem until Emmett has to move on somewhere else. But something happens when he arrives in Forks, something he never even dreamt was possible. Edward meets a woman, a beautiful, smart, charming and fearless woman who has the potential to be his Princess of darkness. The problem is… She’s Emmett’s girlfriend.

Bella transfers to the University of Washington her junior year. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they can't ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However...Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward is adamantly unavailable; a horrible experience in his past has made him reluctant to form any attachments or new friendships. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you find something you didn't even know you were looking for; something that will change your life irrevocably and unconditionally.

Lots of humor, tons of romance and occasional angst, featuring a rather nosy and intrusive Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker into the mix to stir things up. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hottt sexy-times.

A big round of applause for Z-21 and Twi-Holoic for the amazing banners! *clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

You're in for one hell of a ride!  Bella and Jasper's worlds collide as they find solace and comfort in one another as friends.  However, as Bella's dreams begin to unfold and she begins gaining certain abilities...it seems that maybe everything that's happened to lead them here, was all part of an intricate plan.  Can road trips, fun times in Vegas, and a crazy Peter help them find their Heaven?

A series of Edward's POV's throughout the saga.

AH/OOC.  Canon pairings, with twists.  NC-17 for dirty language, a smattering of BDSM, and the usual lemony goodness.  If you wouldn't read it with your mother standing over your shoulder, you shouldn't be reading it at all!

When Edward moves to Forks with his sister, Esme, he is immediately drawn to the mysterous Bella Cullen. Will he be able to break through her tough girl act? Will she let him? Usual pairings, AH, NC-17 for language and possible lemons in later chapters.

Jasper returns to Forks to apologize but was never prepared for what he found. Now he knows he needs to make it right. But how? Will Bella find love again?Lemons in the future! Non-canon AU New Moon.

This is a Bella/Emmett story. It's all human and a little OOC. Its AU/AH. Rated M for a reason. Bella and Alice work at a fancy hotel in down town Seattle. Alice is dating Jasper and living with Bella. Emmett is a pro football player and they meet at a party at the hotel. They have fun but will a long distance romance ensue or will there be other challenges along the road.

Carlisle Cullen has been the object of Bella Swans fantasies for years. The problem with that is he’s a very bad boy. Hot tempered and tortured by his past. Can Bella break through his cold, hard mask and warm his icy heart? What secrets are hidden inside the home and hearts of Carlisle and his Brother and sister?

Story starts out light with some humor becomes more intense in later chapters.

All human characters….contains underage drinking, drugs, sex, abuse. 

 I'd like to thank Moonlit Wishes for making me an awesome banner for this story.

Carlisle and Esme are the foundation of the Cullen Coven.  However, this love story started as a tragedy for Esme -- a loveless marriage, the death of her baby and finally an attempt at suicide.  This story traces how Carlisle and Esme eventually find each other and fall in love.  It weaves together Carlisle's and Esme's bio facts provided to Twilight Lexicon by Stephenie Meyer with some original ideas. Canon! Rated R for later lemon content.

Outtakes from Lustful Awakings. Find out what happened behind the closed doors between Peter, Charlotte, Charlie, and Renee,or William, Catherine, Carlisle, and Esme. Might even be some Emmett, Rose, Garrett, and Kate. Rated NC-17 for graphic lemons, slash, and language.

A stalker is trying to get close to Edward Masen, a green-eyed 24 year old concert pianist.

 He hires Elite Guardians to keep him safe from the one who is stalking him.

 Bella Cullen is the owner/operator of the company.

Story that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy!

Thank you Salix Caprea for the lovely banner:

It has been four years since Edward left Bella in New Moon.  There were no werewolves and Jacob was never more than Bella's friend.  Bella has just graduated from college when Edward accidently crosses her path and finds himself being drawn back into Bella's life.  But Bella is not the same teenager he knew. She is a grown woman with a very grown up lifestyle.  This tells the story of how Edward, realizing he can't live without the love of his existence, and with the help of all of the Cullens, endeavors to win her back.  There are some laughs along the way.  The story is EPOV and rated NC-17 for sexual language and content. 

Bella thinks she has her life figured out. She has the best father and brother but all too soon her life comes shattering down around her. Will Edward be able to help her? E/B, Em/R, J/A AH & NC-17 for lemons.

Warning: This story deals with dark subject matter.

As if starting a new school away from her friends and family isn't enough, she has nuisance and captain of the football team Edward Cullen interested in her. “Hello, I’m Edward Cullen.” She took my hand, shaking it, “I’m not interested.” Bella has better balance, and respect for herself.
