Britain, 9th century:

Bella is captured by Vikings and brought with them to their homeland where her new fate awaits. Will she ever find happiness being a slave? Will it matter that she is given to Edvard, the chieftain of the village, to be his new bed thrall? 

Bella's life is in shambles. Broken marriage and now a broken motorcycle as well. Until a sexy mechanic enters her life, as does his daughter. Can they be the resolutions to each other's troubled pasts?

Ten years have passed since Bill Compton met his True Death.  In those ten years, Eric Northman has become a business tycoon.  New Blood has propelled him and his progeny, Pamela Swynford de Beaufort, into the billionaires’ club.  To the public, they are the saviors of the human and vampire races.  In private, Eric is once again the badass Viking vampire he was before he met Sookie Stackhouse.

One night, someone from the past comes asking for help.  Will Eric help or will he let the hurt and anger he has carried for ten years get in the way?  Eric will learn that not everything is as it seems.

Going on horrible dates was something that Bella always did well at. Nothing made her happier then to see the back of a man as he fled to get away from her. She was having so much fun until she ended up on a date with the most chauvinistic man in New York. How could one date have gone so wrong? Now her little tricks maybe the reason she is forced to stay with a man she loathes.

Sookie is a Psychologist and Eric is a wounded Marine and they meet while he’s being treated for his injuries.

She's lost her muse. He's missing inspiration. When Bella and Edward meet, will they be able to heal the tattered pieces of their hearts? Or will they forever be alone?

For 200 hundred years, the country has been under the rule of a vampire King. Over the course of time, humans have become enslaved and are sold in auction houses to the highest bid. While Eric struggles to set things right, help comes from an unlikely place; His pet Sookie.  C.H owns the characters. I own the mistakes.  THANK YOU GYLLENE FOR THE AMAZING BANNER! XOXOXO   

This story begins  at the start of Definitely Dead. Eric shows up at Sookie’s house just as she is leaving to go out on her date with Quinn.  I am trying to fix just one of many mistakes.

Sookie immediately becomes smarter.  LOL!  Meridian informed me that she seemed too smart, but why would I write a story if it was to stay with canon Sookie? So, beware! She’s a smarter Sookie. 

The beginning is from the book. Word for word so if you want to skip it keep going down until you see the line separating it from where I took over or you might need a fresher.

Edward Cullen is an alcoloic who hits rock bottom. One day, his sister Alice is handed a card - Only Call if Desperate & ALL Else Has Failed. She makes the call that will change her brother's life, and a few others along the way.

Bella Swan was dreading going back to her ten year high school reunion, over Valentine’s Day Weekend, for Hillsborough High School. Her time in high school in Tampa, Florida was not high on her list of pleasant experiences. She was quiet, unassuming and secretly in love with Edward Cullen. It was that unrequited love that forced her to move away to Seattle, as far from Tampa as possible. He never knew she existed. Or so she thought.

Edward was looking forward to his high school reunion because he was anxious to see the one that got away. Bella Swan was the quiet girl who never really interacted with anyone, but Edward saw that she was something special. But as ruler of the school, he had certain expectations to maintain. It was one of his biggest regrets. His life would have been easier if he had followed his heart. Now, he was a divorced father of two. His ex-wife, Tanya, who was his high school girlfriend, left him for a younger man and abandoned her children.

Will Bella be happy to see Edward or will she stay hidden amongst her classmates? Will Edward finally break the mold that was expected of him and open up his heart to the beautiful and shy Bella Swan? Will he be able to win back the one that got away?

What if Sookie was given the chance to change her story with Supernaturals? What if she had full knowledge of the events that could come to pass? Could she save the people she loved the second time around? Would she look to anyone in the Supernatural world for help—or would she attempt to avoid that world altogether? Yep—I'm trying my hand at the time travel genre; it's been done before, but I've not seen the device used after the end of Dead Ever After (Note: This story picks up a little more than a year after Dead Ever After.)
