An unexpected friendship changes Bella's life in ways she never could have imagined. Winner - Best Friend Jacob Category, Sort of Beautiful Challenge
AH - Mentions of Edward are OOC

The “younger” Cullens go out for a night on the town, and come back with a story to tell.

Written for the Twilight Gift Exchange community on LiveJournal as a gift for kay18jay. This ignores Breaking Dawn: it's a post-Eclipse AU. It's more than a little crackfic-like.

Then Direct You Into My Arms opens during New Moon. Bella is hunted by Victoria, haunted by Edward, protected by the pack. Amidst the chaos of constant danger, the growth of her relationship with Jacob Black and the difficult beginnings of a new friendship, the Cullens will return to Forks to turn Bella's life upside down again... and again. 

Edward is bored while he is out at the club with the guys. That is when she walks in.

A chance encounter on an ill-fated flight brings two unlikely strangers together in a fight for survival against the elements and against themselves.  Faced with the cruelty of fate, will Edward be able to save Bella, or will he give in to his base desire and drink her blood? B/E, AU

Preview Chapter 8:

His eyes were now sinister and dark.  He was leaning down by my shins, holding them close to his head.  It felt good to have his cold breath against my heated skin.  He was kissing my leg and I vaguely put two and two together.  He was why my body was feeling so strange.  The smile that played on my lips when I first saw him quickly disappeared.  The pain.  What was that?  It felt like a vacuum had latched on and was stealing the wind from my lungs, the beats from my heart, the acid from my stomach.  I was being robbed of life.  

His eyes quickly flickered over mine, but he must not have liked what he saw, as he clenched his eyes shut quickly.  His face was abnormally calm for someone who was slowing killing me, but I loved it anyway.

NC-17 for dark themes, language, and adult content in later chapters

As a college senior, Edward can't wait to graduate.  He's made some great friends but that's all.  That is until he starts paying attention to the girl down the hall, Bella.  Something terrible happened to her and he finds himself watching over her and the downward spiral that is becoming her life.  Can he help her?  Can he save her when she can't even see she needs saving.

What happens when the life you know is no longer the one you want? You yearn for something more, but you don't want to hurt the people you love in order to make yourself happy.

Edward has loved Bella from the first moment they met. The only problem is that she's happily attached to one of his best friends. But is everything actually as it seems? 

Bella lifts her head to look me in the eye, and I think I see a flash of something there. Sadness? I'm not sure. "Yeah...friends are great," she says in a quiet voice. A strand of hair has fallen over her left eye, and I brush it back for her. Her eyes close momentarily. I watch her swallow hard, and my breath whooshes out all at once. What is this?

When Bella and Edward meet at a party, it's lust at first sight- he thinks she's the funniest girl he's ever met, and she thinks he's a total hottie. It could all be perfect, except he's leaving for a summer in Europe in... oh yeah, about three hours.

Bella is determined to make the most of their time together, but five drunken frat boys, three alarmed chickens, and one very expensive thong conspire to pull them apart. When the feathers have cleared, Bella finds that Edward has disappeared, leaving only a note that reads ‘I'm so glad I met you.' Still feeling the effects of the tequila, she decides that this is one opportunity she isn't going to miss.

Armed with a hastily drawn map of Europe, a pink suitcase with only one wheel, and her insane best friends, Bella leaps on a plane and straight into the unknown. As she hides from drag queens in London, and sips fifty cent cocktails in Estonia, will Bella realise it's more than just romance she's missing in her life? Will her travels inspire her to make some big changes? And most of all, will she ever find freakin' Edward?!

AU/AH Canon pairings. Rating for sex, swearing, and a bit of drinking.

Edward and Bella were best friends for years before falling in love. A mistake Edward made could result in losing Bella forever. Is their love strong enough to keep them together? Human AU. I Belong To You in EPOV

Set at the end of Eclipse, after Bella visits Jacob. As Bella cries in his arms over Jacob, Edward is left to dwell on his own painful thoughts about the situation...

Some moments in the past are destined to shape the future. Others just leave scars. Jacob/Bella. Pre-Twilight... VERY pre-twilight.

Bella meets a stunning new transfer student named Edward; good-looking, tall, smart... aloof. He requests to sit next to her, and says his name is Angel...

Could he really be one?
