Bella thought her life was going to be different by the time she was close to thirty.  She thought she'd be living the American dream with a husband the two kids and a dog.  Instead at twenty eight she breaks up with her long term boyfriend and is the only single person among her friends and family.  With a reconnection of an old crush thanks to Facebook and an unexpected meeting with a new man, Bella does the only thing she can, follow her heart.

Starts in the woods after Edward ends his relationship with Bella. What if Bella did act like a 17 yr. old when Edward said goodbye? What if her answer to his request for a promise was NO? I know I never would have agreed to anything he wanted! So why should Bella? Rate nc 17 for good reasons. Reg. Pairs V/H

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.

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.
