Ascension of the Morning Star chronicles the journeys Bella must take on the path to her fulfill her destiny.  In an almost-canon Post-Eclipse universe, we find Bella and Edward at the moment of their engagement and follow along the preparations for their wedding, the consumation of their vows, and ultimately, her envenoming and beyond.

Unfortunately, as they saying goes...the best laid plans of mice and men...

After all the planning and wedding hoopla, Bella's transformation is not a dream come true, and the future is anything but assured; however there are bright signs of possibility in unexpected places.  The journey will force the Cullen family to confront the demons of their hearts and rediscover their connection to humanity, which was thought to be lost forever. 

The inevitability of change is not only the perview of those who seek their destiny, but it is the boundary of all life, eternal and merely mortal. Without the momentum of personal growth, life stagnates.  So it is for many of the Saga, they are emotionally stuck in ways they cannot understand. In her journey, vampires and humans alike discover in themselves new life, new possibility, and hope for the future.   Touched by her unconditional love, no one is the same. 

Nothing will be the same.

A strange human, more comfortable in the dark world of shadow than with her own kind, Bella will discover her destiny is not a choice... it is a gift of love she was born to give.  It was decided long ago.  All that is required is for her surrender to the power of the Fates and accept the unlikely role she must play in history.  By her existence, as human and vampire alike, she will rock the foundations of the mythical world.  Although we grieve, she will rise like the morning star to bring light to our eyes.

Penelope Garcia becomes an assistant to Rossi and Hotch and enters into a 3 way relationship.

Isabella and Edward Cullen have been married a little over four years, and been together as a couple since they were seventeen.

When Bella stumbles across some devastating evidence of Edward's infidelity on the night she is to announce her pregnancy hearts are broken,will the couple be able to move on and repair?

7 year old Rensemee is the worlds most spoiled child. Edward and Bella have had enough of her sassiness. Edward decides to spank her. Now Renesmee is afraid and wants nothing to do with him. Can Edward win the trust of his little girl back?

Set during Breaking Dawn from September to December, this is my story of Edward and Bella’s voyage of sexual discovery from the first night they go to their cottage in the woods.  Follow Bella's first night as a vampire after her tumultuous introduction to vampirehood, motherhood and meeting the Cullen family as an equal. 

Told mostly from Bella's POV, it will take you on their journey of learning about each other, loving each other as they've craved since the beginning.  Watch their tender bonding with beautiful Nessie and their interaction with the Cullen family through the weeks that follow until the arrival of the Volturi.  All the Cullens are in the story, helping them adapt, as is Jacob's wolf pack.

Rated NC-17: Explicit lemony scenes and language almost from the start.
Note:  This story has migrated across from the FanFiction site and is now up to date.

Bella has moved back to Forks following a traumatic year. She is placed into temporary foster care with the Cullen's and meets Edward who is also battling his own demons. Life isn't a fairy tale; or maybe it is! Rated M for language AH E&B

This story is on hiatus. I'm sorry to any readers who are waiting for a new chapter, but I really want to concentrate on my other story 'Wrecked with Bella'. I may come back to OUaSN, but I don't want to make any promises I might not keep.

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*

Edward left Bella the day after he makes love to her for the first time. Join Bella on her journey of love, laughter, pain and tears. Will love be enough to bring him back? Will the love of his baby be enough?

Warning:  at times there will be lemons and language. Bella will be unsure of herself, she will doubt herself. Edward will be an ass at times, but this is life and life is not always pretty. Will love really be enough?

Set after New Moon, Bella goes to the carnival at La Push to speak to Jake.  While there, she makes a wish to become a vampire without breaking the treaty.  The next morning Bella wakes up to find her wish is granted and is forced to face the consequences that come with getting what she wanted.
