When a completely innocent Bella has her life turned upside down, she finds herself hardened, angry, and refuses to take it anymore. She used to pine for Edward, but is now indifferent.  Edward, once a slightly cocky jock who set out to humiliate Bella, finds some truths to the loss of his parents, making him slightly rebellious, stand-offish, and completely detached.

Will they fall in together, and find a way to mend each other? Or will it all fall to pieces?

As such, the sun was up before the night was down, and I couldnt pin my eyes open and empty any longer, my lips searched for words, but they only found yours, I was broken, alone...

Camp Willowbrook is a sleepaway camp tucked away in upstate New York. During the winter, its a barren wasteland, but come summertime its the center for heat, love, friendship, and heartbreak for teenagers from all over the country.

Bella Swan doesn't really know who she is. She really doesn't think that Camp Willowbrook will help her find out either. But when she needs an escape from her constantly arguing parents, Camp Willowbrook is just going to have to be her safe haven. Upon arriving, Bella ultimately decides that she isn't going to have any fun, isn't going to make any friends, and most of all isn't going to have a stupid summer romance. Can the guy she least expected to care be the one who changes her mind?

Edward Cullen has one goal in life. To seduce every girl that crosses his path. He only has two conditions. One- they have a heartbeat. Two- they are at least attractive enough that he doesn't feel sick just looking at them. Naturally, he's cocky, rich, arrogant, and, well...he can make anyone's panties drop just by looking at them with those stunning green eyes. Edward always gets what he wants. Period. Now, he wants Bella Swan, the one girl who has ever said no. Can Bella bring out a better person in Edward? Does the person even exist? And most importantly, can Edward stay true to her?

Alice Brandon has never really found anywhere that she really fit in...until she started coming to Camp Willowbrook. Summers are her favorite time of year because of the friends that love her for who she is, not what they think that she pretends to be. The only thing missing from Alice's life is her prince charming. And that person is not Jasper- the dark, mysterious new guy with a quesitonable past. So why is he making Alice question everything that she ever thought she wanted? And why can't Alice ever seem to stay away?

Jasper Whitlock has been through a lot. And "a lot" would be the understatement of the century. Needless to say, he's just been welcomed into the Cullen family as Edward's adopted brother. Haunted by his devestating past, Jasper beleives that he is not worthy of love. That romance was simply not possible for him. But when he meets Alice, his entire world is shaken. Can Jasper love her without hurting her? Can he keep his terrifying past that has broken him from the only one that seems to be helping him heal?

Rosalie Hale has it all. Or it seems that way. She's heart-breakingly beautiful, rich, smart, and has a line out the door of boys that would do anything just to be in her presence. But despite all this, she is still empty. Rosalie's mother left when she was three years old, and her father seems to be more interested in his business relationships and multitude of bank accounts than his own daughter. Camp Willowbrook is Rosalie's only escape into the real world. But when she comes back this year, there's a surprise waiting for her. And this surprise may be her soul mate. Pressured by a boyfriend back home who is the only thing holding the family business together, Rosalie has some decisions to make. Will she stay away from her true love in hopes that her father may finally love her? Or take the road that makes her happy and leave her upper-class life behind?

Emmett McCarty's life is pretty sweet. Being the starting quaterback for Biloxi's football team pretty much puts every single person under his spell. His small-town home is his kingdom in which he is ruler. New step-sister Alice is dragging him to sleepaway-camp this summer, and for the first time, Emmett thinks he finds something permanent in a girl. But can he make the girl of his dreams fall for him? Is Emmett really as carefree as he seems? And after camp, can he make his life ever be right again?

There's only one thing that can be said. This summer is one they won't soon forget.

"Camp is a magical place. It's the one place that you can be who you are without being judged. And even if you are judged, it's hardly likely that you will care. You will find friends that last a lifetime. You will learn from mistakes. You will find your very first love. And you will have the time of your life in the process." -Esme Cullen

Single father Edward watches his daughter taken before his eyes, along with stranger Bella during a routine trip to the grocery store. Follow him as he searches, and Bella struggles to survive under a delusional madman's torment.

Jasper is the carrot to Edward's donkey, dangling out in front of him, tempting him with his deliciousness that is just out of reach. Alice sees it all, but Edward is scared of the fall. Rhyme intended.

Crackfic fun for Zigster's bday.

Alice works as a gourmet chef for one of Chicago's finest dining establishments. One night, her past arrives in the form of a man she only thought she never wanted to see again. A DARK love story.

“What is this?” she whispered. Her voice was comparatively insubstantial to what it had been before.

“I think you should probably read it yourself.” 

Immortal Children, declared illegal, are dangerous creatures with one sole purpose, to hunt and kill.  They are a thousand times worse than newborns.  Like newborns they are bloodthirsty, savage, and unruly creatures ruled by their instinct.  But unlike newborns, they never grow up and can’t comprehend rules. 

"Awaken to darkness on this place we call Earth,
One vampire's bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with blood thirsty needs
On the warm rich sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disatrous beast,
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight disappears from the sky,
You better watch out unless you want to die."
-Victoria Boatwright

Paris, 1950

The war is over and Paris is alive again with artists, writers and musicians. Rosalie Hale went abroad to study in this exciting and romantic city, but instead she vanished without a trace. Now her best friend, Bella, has come on her own to find her. She teams up with Rose's spunky roommate, and they are joined in the search by an American businessman, a battle-scarred reporter, and a handsome painter with his own mysterious past. Following a trail of clues left behind by Rose's letters, they plunge into the dark side of the City of Lights. Who is Royce? What secrets is he hiding? Why did Rose really leave? The search for Rose and life in Paris just might change Bella in ways she never imagined.

Bella did what he asked, she moved on. She married another man but that man betrayed her. What happens when he comes back into her life years later? What happens when Edward realizes he made a mistake? Can he make her believe he always loved her? Can he atone for his mistakes? And what is Bella and their families hiding from Edward?

AU/AH ExB, canon couples, not a canon story

I was just moving back to Forks, but it was only temporary. I didn't plan on staying, I had only lived here for a few months when I was a baby, and had visited my father only a few times since. I was here on a job, nothing more, kill the vampires, and then I would be on the move again. This was my first job without a chaperone, and I intended to prove myself. A different Twilight, one where Bella isn't quite so innocent, naïve, and gullible.

If the summary interests you, but you are not 18 or prefer not to read NC-17 stories. I have a T rated version on my Fanfiction account.

Bella Swan has moved on since the love of her life left her alone over three years ago. With some help from the new man she loves, and her ex's family, she is finally happy, and is more than willing to take the next step in life and love, but when an unexpected face returns, will she be able to remain in that state?

What will happen when everything she knows and trusts is twisted around and turned upside down?

Big hugs once again to annamorphos and her wonderful banner making self!!

Teaser from Chapter 6:

"He would always be there for me, no matter what. Thick and thin, near and far, everything.

His simple words became a lifeline for me. Something to hold onto when times got rough and my past hit me like a freight train, but now... now it was different."

Some canon and non-canon pairings and some OOC moments.

*Rated NC-17 for dark themes, future lemons, and language.

They have everything they ever dreamed of: a great house, vast amounts of money, everything said money can buy, a family that they adore and adores them, people who would do absolutely anything for them - whether they want to or not - and the shared desire to be the most feared and powerful family in their town and the towns surrounding it.

Their name is Cullen, crime is their business and family is their life.

There’s just one problem: when you’re at the top, there’s always someone who’d like to knock you down.

Welcome to their world; make yourself at home.

We all must applauded JayJayHale for making the fabulous banner.

Rated for the over use of the ‘F’ word and many other words that can be referred to by initial. Also there happens to be quite a lot of violence and references to things little children should not know about. Oh yeah, let’s not forget the vast amount of law-breaking.

*The Family is temporarily on hold, I do hope to continue with it at some point, but I have no free time to do so at the moment. I'm very sorry about this.*

A broken past, a lost man and a need for salvation. But even love can be found in the remains of scars.
