In the blink of an eye, your world can change. You can experience the greatest happiness … or succumb to the world’s worst pain, losing someone that had no reason to die …

Edward Cullen, a decorated fireman, after losing a woman in a deadly apartment fire, left his life and family in Seattle, trying to escape the ghost of the beautiful woman, the concert mistress of Seattle Symphony. He stayed away from Seattle, living in Boston, working as an arson investigator until his mother called him, informing him that she had cancer. Without a second thought, Edward moved home to help his family.

Dr. Isabella Swan, a renowned oncologist, specializing in women’s cancers, went through the paces of life. Her mother, an ovarian cancer survivor, was her impetus to become a doctor. However, she was closed-off and had been for many years … since the death of her twin sister, Angela, in an apartment fire. Bella focused on her job, working to forget the empty pain of losing her soul mate. Even eight years after her death, Bella was profoundly broken because of it. She never let anyone in … Until … a handsome, sexy man and a son of one of her patients … Edward Cullen …

Everything in her mind told her it was wrong, but in the blink of an eye, your world can change. You can experience the greatest happiness. Your life can come back to life, especially when you find your new soul mate … the Fire of your Soul.

When faced with a betrayal that could tear them apart, Edward and Bella must put their faith in the healing power of love. WARNING: this story deals with rape and its aftermath. Post-Eclipse, AU.

BANNER BY READERGOOF!  THANK YOU, LOVE!

“Everyone has labels attached to them that they acquire over a lifetime…mother, daughter, wife, lover, friend, co-worker.  I happen to have all of those labels attached to me, plus one in particular that I’m not happy about…widow.  I have a daughter who never met her father, and parents who try to help me out but drive me crazy, along with a father-in-law who I take care of in the absence of his son.  Along with the label of “widow” came another label that I’m not happy about and it’s one I assigned to myself…crazy.  The reason I’m crazy is because every night in my dreams, I talk to my dead husband as if he was still alive.  I was perfectly content to live with those labels until someone showed up in my life that caused me to add another label to my seemingly never ending list…screwed. –Bella Black

AH/OOC.  Canon couples, eventually.  This is a story of a woman trying to deal with a devastating loss, so there will be sadness, but there will be humor and there will be love.  There’s foul language, eventual lemons, and it’s told in Bella’s POV.  It’s rated NC-17 for a reason.  It’s a love story at its heart, but it’s not an easy one.

 EPOV of Virgins & Villains. **Important- Read the first 15 chapters of V&V before reading this**. Edward Masen, Hollywood heartthrob, meets Bella Swan, shy college student, and the romantic sparks fly.

Thanks very much once again to Coleen561 for the awesome banner!

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...

My thanks to Kari, who has contributed to this story enough that she should be listed as a co-author! My sounding board, pre-reader and friend.

Edward, homeless since age twelve is used to the gritty, hard life. Now twenty, his main goal is to make it in the world, and off the streets. What happens when a girl who seems to be broken beyond repair becomes his new shadow, and needs help more than he can possibly know? 

Sookie's world gets turned upside down by her handsome, yet very mysterious, new neighbor.  Will she be able to help him face the demons of his past, and maybe help herself in the process?

She once lived the life of luxury with her husband, James, but then he became abusive. With the help of an unlikely friend, she escapes James' abuse, becomes Bella Swan, and starts fresh in a new town. She meets a handsome young man named Edward who will help her heal, but will she ever fully get over the abuse she suffered? 

When James gets wind that his wife isn't dead, what lengths will he go to take back what he feels is his?

Rated for future sexy times, some scenes of violence, abuse, and cursing.

(loosely based on Sleeping with the Enemy, but with large differences, and a Twilight twist)

Banner by Readergoof...she even found a white bikini!  Thank you!

A jilted bride and a jilted groom decide to go on their respective honeymoons.  When fate brings them together at the same resort in the Bahamas, how much will they have in common besides broken hearts?  Can you start over on your honeymoon?  What do they each bring to the table?  It all starts with a white bikini…where will it end?

AH/Canon couples.  NC-17 for a reason (I mean, it’s me for crap’s sakes!).  Language (again, it’s me).  Shifting perspectives, and unusual twists.  Who doesn’t love a beach getaway?

Sookie lets Eric change her and she gets a little bit more with her immortal life than she thought she would as she embraces her nature and fate. Vampires, fairies, love bubbles and lots of fluff. All Vamp. N-17 for language and lemons

28 year old English teacher, Bella Swan is dreading being dragged to her 10 year reunion with Alice; until a certain social networking site offers her a very welcome blast from the past... BxE, AH. NC-17 for lemons in later chapters.

A Locket, A Picture, A Dream.. What if someone you thought didn't exist came into your life when you had given up? B and E are 2 college kids in LA who meet and feel like they've always known each other, is it more than just a feeling? Fluff/Humor/Lemons

Outtakes and missing scenes from my story, Parachute. Rated M for possible strong language and lemons later in the story.    

What if Sookie wasn't raised by Gran and went through the foster system instead after her parents died? Sookie hasn't been back to Bon Temps since she was 7 years old but she's no longer the same girl who left town. AU and canon.

Sookie is a young nurse, who has given up on love after her last relationship fell apart. She takes a chance on Eric Northman, a wealthy businessman, who comes to the hospital with an injured friend. Deciding to let him in gets her far more than she ever would have expected.

When the disarmingly handsome Edward Masen turns up as a new patient, the life Dr. Isabella Swan has carefully put together will be shattered forever. What will it take to put the pieces back together again? What does it take to heal?

Many thanks to fuzzyltlwingedthing for the new banner!
