A young woman sets out on her first adventure in the big world. She thought her father had prepared her for everything but she holds the key to much more than she ever thought, and now she sings for every vampire.

What if Edward finally found his mate, but she had a troubled past and wanted to kill herself? Could he help her? This story has DARK Themes and Rape discussion.

Edward Cullen has survived for years drinking the blood of the dregs of society.  He longs for something different, the blood of an innocent.  Enter Bella Swan.  Will desire for her overrule desire for her blood or will he take both?  All EPOV.  Starts darker, quickly turns humorous.  Language, lemons and some violence.

 Bella and Edward have been best friends forever and they've shared a lot of firsts. Now Bella wants to share one last one together. AU/slightly OOC Cannon pairings B/E And rated M for language and lemons!

A troubling childhood has left Bella shy and scared of her own shadow. Her life is turned upside down when she is sent to live with the Dad and brother she never knew at the age of 15. Can Charlie and Emmett along with Edward and the gang help Bella? E/B, A/J Em/? *abuse is discussed*

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).

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

Bella Swan had led a very ordinary life.  She'd married her college boyfriend only to be betrayed when he left her for another girl.  After the death of her father, she pulled out a map and threw a dart.  The implications of that one simple act would surprise her beyond her belief.  She found a home...she found a job...could she find love again after surviving a cheating husband?  Only time will tell.  What secrets will the beautiful stranger she meets have and how will she deal with them? 

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 the disarmingly handsome Edward Masen turns up as a new patient, the life Dr. Isabella Swan has carefully put together will be shattered forever. What will it take to put the pieces back together again? What does it take to heal?
