Bella Swan is a humble young girl determined to prove she's serious about making art. Edward Cullen is the pragmatic debonair foreigner, focused on his career and duties. On the surface, Bella and Edward may have nothing in common, until a chance encounter in a hotel hallway sparks a mysterious attraction and a deep need to keep the connection alive. Will true love prove strong enough to overcome the secrets and challenges that lay ahead? Or will they succumb to the pressure and expectations of the people that think they know best?

When Bella was three, she was found abandonned outside of a hospital in LA. She was placed with Carlisle, Esme, and their twin boys, Emmett and Jasper. What happens when they move to Forks? NC-17&AH Cannon pairing.

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.

I am a 16 Year old girl from a small town in Forks. I have a loving family and the greatest twin brother. My life changed forever the day I won a radio contest to attend a film premiere and meet my actor crush, Edward Masen. After spending one night with him my life will never be the same again. Rated M for language and lemons.

Alice has had a vision that the new girl at Forks High will change the Cullens' lives.  But Rosalie's sharp eyes catch evidence of abuse on Bella Swan, and she vows to find out just what's going on with the quiet girl.  Eventually she and Edward hatch a plan to keep Bella safe, which might endanger the close-knit ties of the Cullen family.  Possessive Edward and Big Sister Rosalie.

"I leaned over my wife again and stroke every little inch of her face “I’ll make your pain stop…”  I kissed her unmoving lips with all the love I had as I thrust the sharp needle straight into her heart..."

"Renesmee's tiny warm hand touched my neck. She showed me the three of us in this room with me holding her and with Bella laying on the bed her thoughts shifted and re-focused on Bella, they had a questioning edge…"

This story is a retelling of Breaking Dawn. It sticks to cannon up until Bella and Edward are back from Isle Esme, from there on it's all mine! In a way this is how I wish Breaking Dawn was written. However, the major focus of this story is on Edward and Renesmee's relationship rather than Bella's experience. So if you're a Dadward fan this story will appeal to you! (or at least I hope it will)

Bella Swan works as a nurse at Cook County Hospital in the ER. She's older and desperate for love. It's hindered by her shy personality and plump body. Her father, whom she lives with, teases her relentlessly for being fat and single.

Edward Cullen, thirty-three, is hired as a doctor in the ER. He's getting over a divorce. He moved to Chicago to be closer to his family: sister, Rosalie, and brother, Jasper. Rosalie is younger than Edward by ten years and is struggling with an eating disorder brought on by a heinous rape of her ex-boyfriend. Jasper, twenty-seven, is finishing up his doctorate in history.

Bella is charmed by this new doctor in the ER. He's kind and thinks about his patients and maintains a friendly rapport with the nurses and orderlies. Edward is intrigued by the sad nurse who does her job efficiently but doesn't have a sparkle in her eyes.

Will she allow Dr. Cullen into her life or will she let her insecurities get in the way of her happiness. Perhaps, Dr. Feelgood can write her a prescription. A prescription for love...

We can’t help who we fall in love with; however we are responsible for how we react to that knowledge or how we treat that person.

“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.

Could it be that some things are just meant to be?

Without Edward to save her, Bella is hit by Tyler's van and is taken to the hospital, barely alive. She is lucky enough to cross paths with Carlisle Cullen, a vampire doctor who saves her life.

Bella is in danger once again during a simple trip to Port Angeles and once again, there is no Edward in sight, but Jacob Black is all too happy to step in his place.

Carlisle is dangerously outnumbered when facing the three nomads, until a certain pair of golden-eyed vampires show up to help.

So where is Carlisle's family? Who is haunting his house? Is Jacob Black really gay? Is Sam a drug-dealer? And who is responsible for turning everything upside down—The Volturi? The Quileute Elders? Or maybe the source is much closer to home than everyone thinks.

Some things even Alice can't predict.

WINNER Best Mystery/Adventure in the Emerging Swan Awards 2012.

My version of what happens after Bella saw Edward that first day of school. Could they get pass the secrets and build a relationship? 

This is my first attempt at writing a fan fiction. It started as a one shot but I got good reviews so I'm continuing the story. My vampire is a little different from Stephanie's. A little bite does not change a human into a vampire.

The beginning of the story follows the book closely but with lots of lemons then we hit a Fork in the road and all bets are off as Bella and the Cullens do all the things regular teenagers do.

 EPOV of Virgins & Villains. **Important- Read the first 15 chapters of V&V before reading this**. Edward Masen, Hollywood heartthrob, meets Bella Swan, shy college student, and the romantic sparks fly.

If someone gave you three wishes, would you use them? That's the question Bella Swan, practical psychology major, has to decide when her grandmother presents her with a story that she can't believe, and a blue sapphire ring that she's always coveted. If you could go to any time in your future would you make the wish?

AU-Human. Cannon Couples. OOC. Not angsty, but a few tissue moments in places. Language, Lemons (of course...you know me). It's different than anything else I've written. Interested in a little magic?

Bella's perfect world is crumbling around her. She feels as though she's drowning when she meets an angry, broken Edward. Can he save her while living in an abusive nightmare of his own? Can they save each other? 

"Growing up is hard. It's hard for everyone,however, some are luckier than others. I always thought I was one of those lucky ones, but as I sat there, I realized how wrong I was."

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.

For those of you who read "The Perfect Wife" this takes place twelve years after the epilogue. You do not need to read TPW, but an understanding of the story is helpful.

Carlisle ran a human trafficking ring. He was an abusive husband and father. Esme suffered cruel and horrific atrocities at her husband’s hand. Her sons, Emmett, Jasper and Edward were raised to treat her no better than a slave; undeserving of love and respect. Rosalie, Alice and Bella are brought into this life as their wives and together these women fight to change their outlook on life and women. At the end of TPW, Em/J/E have learned to change and passionately love and respect their wives.

After the Cullens leave Forks, a twist of fate lands Bella in Chicago in 1918. She thinks it's her second chance... a chance to build a life with a human Edward. But when she finds him, he's not quite what she expected... and Bella has some hurdles to overcome to create the future she's hoping for.

An alternate ending to Beyond Time, written for Fandoms Fight the Floods.

In this story, Bella is an orphan who has never met her parents. The only things she has from them is a golden bracelet and a box she was given on her seventeenth birthday. She also starts having strange dreams and her body is slowly changing. Then she meets the Cullens, but what are they? And what about her new friends?

Things cannot be any more confusing about Bella….or can they?
