Sequel to Fighting for Love: Edward and Bella are at UCLA. On their own for the first time, will they be able to handle everything that is thrown at them? Will their past come back to haunt them? Canon coupling, NC-17 and AH.

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. Banner by the amazing JavaMasta!

Months after the Volturi have left, there's no denying Emmett and Rosalie's marriage is on the rocks. They have grown distant because of the time she spends with Nessie. Or has someone else drawn her away?

The Cullens, sans Nessie and Rosalie, help the Quileutes with a fundraiser held on their lands. Emmett meets someone. After all, he's a natural flirt.

A second chance at love presents itself, but will he take it? Will she take hers?

Is it possible Emmett and Rosalie never were each other's true mate? 

The entire story is written in Emmett's POV. It is AU/Vamp, post-Breaking Dawn, so the story begins in late summer 2007.

Rated NC-17 for cursing and lemons. (There is not a lemon in every chapter.)

Warning: This may be difficult to read if you're a Rosalie/Emmett canon purist!

This story contains Abuse, Violence, Love, War, Sex, Masturbation, Kidnapping, Rape, Death and a heap of other things.... Please don't read if you are not of age!!!!

Twilight Rocks But I Do Not Own It.... I do however own this story!!!!

This story is for Adults only. So Don't Read if you are not old enough......

I suck at summaries so please give my story a go.

Everyone has secrets, even Bella Swan, but how will she react when she learns of her father's? Will it affect her rekindling relationship with Edward? What other lives will be changed because of his little secret.

What if Edward's motivation for dating Bella wasn't becasue he loved her but because he was frustrated by the fact that he couldn't hear her? What if he lied about a lot of other things as well? WARNING: Abuse and a later chapter non-sexual SPANKING.  Carlisle/Bella

Ever wonder if things might have turned out differently for Bella and Edward if Alice and Rosalie had interfered? "Seduce him, Bella!" Guided by Bella’s inner strength and determination, Edward must face both his human past and his vampiric future.  Where will his decisions take their relationship? New Moon with a twist.

Thanks to coleen561 for the Awesome banner and editing advice!

Bella finds out some information before her wedding, she decides to run from her own wedding. What happens when she finds herself face to face with everything she wants, what will happen when things get mixed up. Not the best summary

After Bella's 18th birthday accident the entire Cullen family leaves Forks leaving behind a devastated Bella.

Four months later, when Bella seems to start healing from her heartbreak she is faced with one Edward Cullen, only he is not the same Edward she has known before.

As he reveals the reasons of his lies and actions Bella has to make a decision that will change her life forever...

New Moon Alternate Universe - canon couples (perhaps a little OOC later on). Rated 'T' but if everything goes according to plan the rating will change in the future *hint hint*

I know the NM AU is a very popular theme, but give it a try it's not your usual NM AU story! And yes, I did just shamelessly promote myself... An author's got to do what an author's got to do.

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).

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

Warnings: Darkward...sorta. um  : Mild violence, mentions of voudoo, ghost and spirits, little gore,sex,alcohol, small drug use, fictional use of historical people, mentions of conjuring practices...

Let me preface this by saying, I have cherished my writing fan fiction. I've loved every chapter, every story, every review, and every fan. It's been a thrilling and fulfilling seventeen months.

All things have to end though. I'll be graduating college in the spring, and by then this final project will be complete. I won't be writing fan fiction anymore, but will be moving on to continue my freelance work that I'm doing, and also writing my own novels. Before I start that though, I want to leave the fan fiction world with a bang.

This final project will be a series of four stories. "Reborn in Twilight," "Broken During The New Moon," "Fighting an Eclipse," and "We Are Breaking Dawn." That's right, I'm rewriting the saga.

Some may consider it a ballsy move, some may see it as stupid. But since my writing fan fiction has been me molding the characters to be my own, what other proper way is there to leave fan fiction, other than rewriting it.

I mean no disrespect by doing so. I enjoyed the saga very much. Still, I think I can do a decent job at making it something different. Not necessarily better, just my own.

There will still be similarities to the saga of course. No character names or couple pairings will change. Only the characters personalities may be different. Something else that I'll do, as I do in all my stories, is make multiple character POV's. I think it helps character development, and makes it a more rounded and complete story.

There will be obvious differences also. The vampires will not be the same type. No sparkling or dazzling here. Parts will be darker, and parts will be funnier. No differences are meant to upset anyone, or offend, it's just the way I write and tell the story.

I hope this will be enjoyed, and I hope I receive the much needed feedback in reviews.

Let's get started.

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.

TRIBE won The Emerging Swan Award!

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.

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?

Suddenly I realized the family had it wrong. I had it wrong. Jasper was not attacking me and Edward was not protecting me. AU OOC Rated NC-17 to be safe

My first story - This story was originally posted on FanFiction.net and is being reposted here due to the amount of fic's being deleted there.  5167 reviews and counting. Winner of two 'Everything's Bigger in Texas Award

Bella told you the story of our life together, which according to her human memories was correct, she told the story, as she believed it to be. The problem with human memories is that they fade and become blurry over time. Vampire memories are stronger and more reliable. Not to say that Bella didn’t tell the story as she remembered it, but I remember it a bit different than she did.

There was quite a bit she had no knowledge of. A lot of things that happened with my family that she couldn’t know about and I never revealed to her. This is the story she wouldn’t have known to tell. My hope is that it will clear up a few misconceptions…

Edward Cullen

Tragedy led her there. Commitment forced him there. Can a place of beauty and solitude hold the fate they were both seeking…

Takes place after Edward leaves in NM.

 Follow Bella as life takes her through twists and turns that eventually lead her back to a strangley different Edward. Can true love overcome all lifes jagged twists and sharp turns?

Twice burned, three times as heartbroken.  Bella left Forks and returned to Phoenix to start again.  Jasper walks into a bar to find a familiar face. He can't believe his eyes, but he likes what they see. Ditto Bella.

*The author's screen name is new, the story remains the same.*

Carlisle Cullen has been the object of Bella Swans fantasies for years. The problem with that is he’s a very bad boy. Hot tempered and tortured by his past. Can Bella break through his cold, hard mask and warm his icy heart? What secrets are hidden inside the home and hearts of Carlisle and his Brother and sister?

Story starts out light with some humor becomes more intense in later chapters.

All human characters….contains underage drinking, drugs, sex, abuse.

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. 

Edward Cullen is superstar EC Velvet.  Bella Swan, professor of English Lit in Seattle, hears his velvety voice one day and it changes her life. She leaves her abusive fiance, Mike Newton, and writes a fan letter to EC Velvet.  Little did she know that fate was going to intervene and bring her together with this uber-famous hip-hop/rap star and turn her life upside down... or maybe it's right side up.

AH/AU/VERY OOC - Rated for excessive language, mature themes, and lemons.

AH After Bella Swan's best friend releases a portrait of her, it is purchased at an auction by Edward Masen, famous photographer and notorious modelizer.  Edward seems to have an irresistible draw to Bella. Can Bella accept Edward's attention? Is there more to Edward's attentions than meet the eye? Originally by xx.Nikteche.
