Bella Swan and Edward Cullen live in the small town of Ligonier in Pennsylvania. They've been best friends since they were six years old, and not much can keep them apart. Bella wants to leave small-town life behind, while Edward is fine with whatever, but that's not the only complication in their relationship. What happens when they fall in love ... with each other?

Edward leaves Forks and Bella behind after the incident with Tyler's van. Now, five years later, he finally returns to his family and the Pacific Northwest. While picking up his latest Swedish automobile, he is confronted by a very familiar scent. Will Edward be able to fight the pull his singer has on him a second time? Or will he stick around long enough to find out What Drives Her?

Edward Masen and Bella Swan, high school sweethearts who married young, have their lives turned upside down when Edward is “discovered”. Celebrity, tragedy, alcohol and excess dissolve what seems to be indestructible… or does it? Can love rise above fame and indulgence? Or does Hollywood truly alter what is good in a man?

“Swan! I wanted that file ten minutes ago, on my desk, it’s outside my door, are you blind?!” “No Cullen, I cannot see your office, because yes, I AM blind and I don’t want to walk in and listen to you with Tanya Denali!”

Bella & Edward are undoubtedly the best kept secret in Forks High School, dating in secret but their relationship is doomed to be exposed and the consequences of this will rip both their worlds apart. Who, if anyone will come out of this mess unscathed.

Edward Cullen has a perfect life. A dream come true career as a superstar shortstop for the Seattle Mariners, true friends, a great house, and most of all, the perfect, loving wife. Can one moment destroy it all? Or will she stick by him for better or for worse?

Can they face the future together and learn to let go of their demons?

Can they find what it is to be Amazed?

It’s been twelve long years since the hell that was high school. How will Edward and Bella, barely recognizable as the awkward teenagers they were then, handle the unexpected and unwelcome reminder of a time they’d rather forget?

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.

After a tragic accident 5 years ago, Edward left. Bella never thought she would see him again, let alone be loved by him; inked by him...

Rated NC-17 for language and lemons

The story is based on events that happened to me in real life. I've just changed the situation some and adapted it to fit Stephanie Meyer's Characters.

Five years following the events in New Moon, the Cullens are living in New Hampshire and Edward is finally getting married.  During a wild night out on the town, some of the Cullens run into a happy, more confident Bella.

Jasper/Bella Pairing.  Humor/Romance.  AU/OOC.

Bella falls pregnant by a womanizing Edward and he wants nothing to do with her or the baby. At least he doesn't think he does, but actions speak louder than words. A story about the beauty and pain of love.

Rebel Bella has been shipped around the U.S. for years to different foster homes after being placed in Child Protective Services. What will happen when she is placed with uptight Edward and his family?  Adult language/Violence/Lemons

Edward and Bella have been together since High School, but after 20 years and too little time to be themselves, they find themselves at a crossroads, where one wrong decision could be their breaking point.

When Bella and Edward hook up at a party their lives quickly become complicated, causing a rift in their close knit circle of friends. Despite the fallout, they can’t stay away from each other. Neither of them are able to admit the depths of their feelings for the other and when Edward has to leave for Italy and Bella realizes she’s attracted to her friend Claire, their already shaky relationship is in danger of falling apart.

After years away, Bella is returning to a place she thought she'd left behind and a man she thought never wanted to see her again. Love often comes when you least expect it. There are lies that need to be confessed and secrets to reveal.

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.

It's basically a retelling of Twilight, with a few twists. Edward isn't the only one who can hear thoughts. Bella can also, but like Edward there is that one exception...him. What happens when she learns their secret? And what happens when the Cullen's find out that she already knows? Written from Bellla's point of view. A bit OOC

Set during early 2006. This is book 1, read it first.

BPOV, One-shot, Written for the Scene Stealers Contest-2010.  Winner Overall Judges' Choice & Individual Judge's Choice- SydneyAlice.

Sequel to The Good & The Bad. Follow Bella & Edward as they mend their relationship & start their new lives in LA. Old friends & new enemies make life more interesting. With Twilight Records blossoming, Bella & Edward find their niche in the music industry.

Edward Cullen is the rich new kid in town, with a troubled past and stuck up parents. Bella Swan is the neglected daughter of the towns Chief of Police, who is used and abused by her older sister, Rosalie. In one weekend can Edward and Bella fall in love and right the wrongs in each other's lives?

Lots of humor, lemons and language. All human...all your usual suspects!

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.
