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.

Set during Breaking Dawn from September to December, this is my story of Edward and Bella’s voyage of sexual discovery from the first night they go to their cottage in the woods.  Follow Bella's first night as a vampire after her tumultuous introduction to vampirehood, motherhood and meeting the Cullen family as an equal. 

Told mostly from Bella's POV, it will take you on their journey of learning about each other, loving each other as they've craved since the beginning.  Watch their tender bonding with beautiful Nessie and their interaction with the Cullen family through the weeks that follow until the arrival of the Volturi.  All the Cullens are in the story, helping them adapt, as is Jacob's wolf pack.

Rated NC-17: Explicit lemony scenes and language almost from the start.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

AU set in the New Moon time frame.

Edward has his reasons for leaving after the birthday incident.

He expects the family to start packing, but Alice stands up to him and says: NO.

Edward left Bella heartbroken in the woods a year ago. She tried to move on; she goes to college now, goes out with her friends and tries to have fun. But she is still chased by Edward's shadows. During the day she turns to Jacob, becoming what everyone needs her to be. But as night, when she is alone, the shadows find her.
When Edward returns will he be able to help her step out of the shadows and becoming the person she was truly meant to be?

After the first chapter, I will post every Tuesday.

Set 5 years after Breaking Dawn, the Cullens leave Forks for a new life. However, one of them lapses, putting the entire family at risk. This is not a Jake and Nessie story, and gets quite dark in places. Contains vampire violence.

I was rooted to the spot. I had been a vampire for five years, but I had never taken a human life, nor seen one taken. In the instant it took me to take in the broken form in his lap, I finally understood what I was, what we all were. I could smell the blood from the lifeless body in front of me, and it smelled good. My throat burned and my mouth filled with venom.

...Immersion... 

Suppose that vampires "imprint" based on smell and the connection is immediate and irresistible. What will happen when vampire Bella Swan meets her mate at Forks High? 

Immersion: involvement in something that occupies all the time and energy available. AU...Canon Couples
