Edward Cullen is an asshole. He's a moody musician and artist who likes his tattoos, alcohol and drugs. He's down on his luck when his friend, Emmett, offers him an apprenticeship at his tattoo parlor, Dreamstyle Ink. Will he give up his asshole-like tendencies or will he continue shutting people out of his life? Will a certain cinnamon eyed tattoo artist finally break through his wall that he's built around his heart?

New teacher and aspiring writer, Bella Swan, moves to Seattle. She finds fan-fiction-creation-inspiration in the enigmatic and surly playboy who lives in the upscale condo across from hers. As her newest on-line story develops, so does a correspondence with a mysterious reader/reviewer of that story. Is it a co-worker? Is it the hothead playboy? It's a case of art imitating life and life imitating art. A fan-fic story within a fan-fic story with all the canon usuals. Lemons, laughs and love.

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).

Edward loses the best thing in his life due to his addiction.  Bella cannot take the lies anymore.  Its over.  There would be no chance that Edward could get her back as his Special Forces Unit was shipped out to Afghanistan.  Nearly a decade passes by and Edward decides to call Bella where they reconnect and Edward tells her he has only loved her.  Bella is thrilled but stunned when Edward refuses to meet with her in person.  How can you tell someone you love them and yet not be with them?  

Do you believe in soulmates? Do you believe it so much that you would wait fifty years just to say I love you one last time?

Edward Cullen moves to Seattle when he takes a position as a trauma doctor in the local ER.  But fate has plans.  In walks Bella Swan, the woman literally of his dreams.  It's love at first sight, and after a whirlwind romance, Edward leaves his life and his love behind to travel around the world and help his parents give medical attention to those in need.  But he comes back to something completely unexpected, changing his life and his future forever....

WARNING:  This story has some adult language and will have some explicit sexual content.  Hence the NC-17 rating...

Slash: Most of the tenants in Jasper's building were seniors who'd lived there for decades. Dr. Cullen was the exception; that alone was enough to pique Jasper's interest. The fact that Dr. Cullen was dead sexy didn't hurt, either. Sexuality.
