For three years they've been apart. Last he saw, she was happily in love, he was dying by slow degrees and the vampire was smug. Not now. They meet somewhere between the cold food section and aisle three. But why is her ring finger bare and who is the rosy cheeked child on her hip?

Bella has some explaining to do.

"Jake’s looking at her again, like she always disregarded and always secretly wanted.

Like he never stopped."

Primarily BxJ, with mentions of BxE and BxOC.

Charlie reflects on what he did wrong to make his little girl do things that she never should have done.

Catharsis: an experience or feeling of spiritual release and purification brought about by an intense emotional experience.

Nine months after Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, Bella lies in the hospital recovering from Victoria's attack.  Now in a relationship with Jacob, she believes herself mostly healed from the experience that almost destroyed her months before.  When she discovers the Cullens have returned due to a vision Alice had of the attack, she finds much needed closure with Edward.  One shot to accompany Start Again.

Black Balloon O/S contest entry. The honeymoon didn't go as planned, and Bella is bitter and resentful. For Edward, there is only one means of escape. But even if he takes it, will he ever be free from the spectre of his past? Angst. Post-Eclipse AU/canon

 "Don't forget me, Bella. I can't forget you."

"Jake."

Why couldn't she say that she wanted me?

I wished she'd say something other than just my name.

I needed to hear her tell me that she wanted me. 

I wanted to hear her tell me that she loved me. Just once.

Even if it was only in a dream. Even if it'd never really mean anything.

I didn't want to be a wolf. I didn't want to imprint.

I just wanted to be Jacob, and I wanted Bella Swan to be mine.

The edges of my dream began to blur.

Everything felt so indistinct, the quality of Bella,

of my feelings and her touch, going bland and unimpressive.

Even in my dream world, I couldn't touch her.

I couldn't be with her.

"Jacob," Bella called my name.

"I love you." It was Renesmee's voice.

------- 

Driven away from his home by the sight of a wedding invitation,

Jacob Black has fled far from the boundaries of La Push to the sandy beaches of Florida—miles away from Bella Swan and the pain of his past. Cutting himself off from his old life, Jacob has become a new man, and he has also, consequently, lost the ability to phase.

Regardless of his own sacrifices, Jacob has found peace and a new life

outside of Bella, and spends his days carelessly free in the heat of the sun.

That is until a new and unusual presence stirs up the ghosts of his past and reawakens something inside of Jacob that he had hoped would lie dormant forever:

Love.

Jacob is getting married. Only it is not Bella's name entwined with his on the invitation.

Set Post-Eclipse and ignores Breaking Dawn. This is a Bella/Jacob/OC story.

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...

As Bella and Edward approach their wedding day, Rosalie knows that Bella is an accident waiting to happen. Determined to keep her brother's wife safe, can she prevent the inevitable?

“What’s wrong?” Paul asked, rubbing his hands up and down my arms.

Sara (a girl I made up from La Push) is upset over Jacob's dissapearance. Paul stumbles across her and imprints. What will occur from this, knowing Paul's temper?

Oops, I forgot the disclaimer. Insert standard disclaimer here. All events, people, and such from the Twilight Series are property of Stephanie Meyer. The only character that I made up is Sara. I would love to be able to claim Edward as my own, in more ways than one, but he belongs soley to SM and Bella of course. (Not that Edward is even in this story...yet)

 Bella is surprised by a joke played on Edward by Emmett and Alice.

It was one of those days when Forks was sunny.  Bella was at school and Edward was stuck at home. This is how they keep in touch.

Edward doubts his worth, and Bella tries a silly method to cheer him up. Pure fluff. Oneshot.
