One summer, an internship in Africa, bloodlust, sharp teeth, and a boatload of fear are all that stand in the way of Bella Cullen landing a job at the Atlanta Aquarium - As long as she doesn't count cocky shark expert Edward Masen on her list.

My name is Bella Swan. I'm 32 and still single. While all my friends have settled down and started their families, I'm still hanging around, looking for Mr. Right. I blame books; they've ruined me and gave me unrealistically high expectations of what my perfect man should be like. How am I supposed to settle down when no one I meet matches up to my book boyfriends?

Bella met Edward. Then, after a few dates, she got pregnant and married him. But now they re fighting against their family and more people who just don't want them together. Bella feels she's repeating her parents story. Would a package from the past be the help she needs?

What would happen if Bella is in college when the Cullens came? What if Carlisle is acting his age? What if Twilight starts now, but with a twist, a huge twist named Carlisle Cullen?

A/J, R/EM Es/? C/B E/? All will be revealed later.

This story was inspired by Feral Blood.  It was dicussed with the writer of the story and she endorsed it.  I have in no way try to steal anything from that wonderful story, but her Carlisle opened me up to a totally different world and made it where I wanted to write and read Bella with other characters.  Thank you…

Edward Cullen is a wealthy executive who has always had a fantasy of being with two women at the same time. His best friend Rosalie who has on occasion been one of his lovers decided that one night she was going to help him live that fantasy and she was willing to experiment.

Bella Swan is a bright young lady who is determined to go to an ivy league college and has saved for two years while she works as a stripper for a very upscale gentlemen's club to pay her bills.

That fateful night changes all three of their lives when the passion in that room surely ignites fires in all three of them they never knew existed.

But will a lie surely put out that fire and destroy all of them?

It contains strong sexual scenes between Edward, Rosalie and Bella. There will be angst, alcohol use, and very strong vulgar language.

This is one of those fantasies most guys dream about but this is with my own little twist in it.

Bella Swan loved, until that love was thrown away. She hoped, until it died inside of her. She cried, until the tears dried up, and in their place, darkness fell. She wasn't afraid of it, she embraced it, clung to it. It made her feel alive. Then she got even.

REPOST: chapters posting daily with original content!

A struggling single mom, a fatherless boy with big dreams, and a man on his way to fame and fortune.  All of them could use a hero.....

'The story of us', was 'Bon Secours'. And 'Instructions Not Included', was 'Bon Secours the sequel'. Sorry to throw you off, but a name change was a must. 

Sequel to 'The Story of Us', if you didn't read that, please do so before you read this. The title says it all, since children do not come with an instruction manual. This picks up right where the original leaves off, 'The Story of us' epilogue. If you liked that, you will LOVE this. How will Edward and Bella deal with a house full of teenagers? There's flashbacks, more drama, more lemons, much more humor, and a whole lot of story. 

Doctorward is there too, just like the first story. 

It's incredibly long because we have the (A) story, which is Edward and Bella. Then we have the (B) story, which is EJ and CC, their two oldest children. 

Points of view will fluctuate. Chapters will be split, since there's essentially two stories in one. 

Rated NC-17 just in case for Lemons and Language galore

Edward, Bella, the whole gang, their kids, plus a few original characters.

“Everyone has labels attached to them that they acquire over a lifetime…mother, daughter, wife, lover, friend, co-worker.  I happen to have all of those labels attached to me, plus one in particular that I’m not happy about…widow.  I have a daughter who never met her father, and parents who try to help me out but drive me crazy, along with a father-in-law who I take care of in the absence of his son.  Along with the label of “widow” came another label that I’m not happy about and it’s one I assigned to myself…crazy.  The reason I’m crazy is because every night in my dreams, I talk to my dead husband as if he was still alive.  I was perfectly content to live with those labels until someone showed up in my life that caused me to add another label to my seemingly never ending list…screwed. –Bella Black

AH/OOC.  Canon couples, eventually.  This is a story of a woman trying to deal with a devastating loss, so there will be sadness, but there will be humor and there will be love.  There’s foul language, eventual lemons, and it’s told in Bella’s POV.  It’s rated NC-17 for a reason.  It’s a love story at its heart, but it’s not an easy one.

Bella, the beautiful, bi-racial, Director of her church's Afterschool Program, has been faithful to her commitment to remain a virgin until she is married. Tallahassee Police Officer, Edward Cullen's charm and sex appeal severely challenges her resolve. AU/AH Rated NC-17 Adult Content

This is the very first Fan Fic I wrote. It was written during the summer of 09. I know that it is riddled with errors and I have no intentions of fixing these errors as this story is being posted to show my growth as a writer.

This is the story of how the night Janitor falls in love with the CEO.

Bella is given to Edward as a birthday present. He promises her that he will love her and never hurt her. Will he be able to keep his promise or will a dark secret tear them apart before their relationship can develop?

 Dark Edward.

This story takes place after Bella Swan graduates from Forks High School. She has been trying to move on from her heart wrenching break-up with Edward Cullen when he left her behind to go to Dartmouth. She has been living her life trying to move past the memories of him - her one true love -ever since.

Then that fateful night at the reunion, she sees him in the first time in ten years and her life is turned upside down when she must choose between the one man she has always loved, and her husband that she is devoted to.

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.

The story begins six months after Edward left Bella in the forest, but unfortunately things have taken a darker turn than our beloved SM wrote. This is the tale of how Edward and Bella eventually find their way back to each other, although it is a difficult road traveled. There will not be any reference to the events in Eclipse or BD.

Rating: NC-17 is for lemons sometime down the road!
