Humans make war on a marathon scale that can last for years, decades even.  I wasn't prepared for vampire war.  I never realized how fast everything could change.  He's gone.  All I wanted was to have him forever.  Now all I have are memories that won't fade, and I can't even cry for him.  Someone please make it stop!

Mounting responsibility for both Edward and Bella threatens to pull them apart - can they survive the storm headed their way or will they be washed away? Sequel to Across the Lines.

Could cruise with her father change her future? AU

When Eric killed Talbot, Russell Edgington only had one thing in mind: revenge. But this time, he took it from somewhere else; and when Pam hand-delivered a fairy, Russell knew it would tear Eric apart.

Bella Swan has had a crush on Dr. Cullen for two years. Will her greatest fantasy come true after a night of babysitting?

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.

Bella and Edward Masen had their fresh start and are beginning a new chapter in their lives: raising triplets, one of which doesn't speak. Follow along with their families as they learn to deal with a child with special needs. However, a blast from the past lurks in the corner. Who and why are they choosing to come back into the Masen's lives? ExB, AH

Eric receives a request from a dying boy (Hunter) to take his mother (Sookie) on a date. He decides to give the request a chance in the hopes it will alleviate some of his boredom with life. AU / OOC! Rated M for language and later chapters. E/S. Mild angst/drama.

If you have aversions to: Eric as a family man or romance bordering on sappy, this is not the story for you. I have some very mild drama planned, stuff that starts and resolves in the course of one chapter (one situation may take two chapters – I haven’t written that far out yet).

This is an A/U “what if” story set in the True Blood universe. What if Gran had helped Sookie to develop her telepathy, rather than encouraging her to hide it? What if Sookie had grown up calling her ability a “gift” rather than a “curse?” What if Sookie had sought out Eric’s help for a very different reason than trying to clear her brother’s name?

A perfect cafe au lait was all it took for Hollywood's most eligible bachelor to fall in love with me...the coffee girl.

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)
