Beautiful, terminally ill, Yolanda is abandoned by her partner to die in the woods near Forks, but is stumbled upon by Rosalie and Emmett while out hunting.  The kind-hearted Cullen family take this former journalist under their protection & care; see how she learns what they are and that there really are vampires in this world.  Her story plays out in a way she could never have imagined. 

What would you do if you discovered vampires truly existed?  What if you were offered immortality? What if a chance encounter brought you the love you had always dreamed of?

All your Cullen family favorites are very much involved in this story.  An Irish vampire comes calling to add a new twist to Cullen life. 

This story is mostly told from Yolanda's POV as a newcomer to the world of vampires.  Sometimes the story is told from the perspective of one of the others as they watch her adapt to her surroundings.

Story rated NC-17 for explicit lemony scenes, language and dark issues.
It has been migrated across from the FanFiction & TWCS sites, where you may know me as Cullenfest :D

“Is she even alive, Emmett? I can’t hear a heartbeat from here.”  Rosalie stood there, hands on hips, glaring at me like it was my fault we'd stumbled upon a body in the woods. She clicked her tongue impatiently.

We’d been out for a couple of hours hunting and making out gloriously and lustily in the bracken. When the day had started, bright and early, I’d never imagined it would take this turn of events.

Vampires don’t like surprises!

After unexpectedly being given an antique desk and finding a letter written by Edward to his cousin over nine decades earlier in a hidden compartment, Bella, on a whim, decides to respond and starts them on a journey neither could have ever imagined. 

Perhaps there are some things we aren't meant to understand, just accept....

This story will eventually contain character death - NOT Edward or Bella.

They agreed it was only supposed to be physical outside of work. It should have been easy, right? E/B, AH

Awesome Banner by payday00-- you're amazing!!

Bella needed to start fresh and get away from the memories that had haunted her for a year. What were the chances, in second chances?

I cried the second Edward put Ezzy into my arms.

"Oh, thank God," I murmured, wrapping my arms around her in a firm, yet gentle embrace. I kissed her softly on the forehead, soaking up her wonderful presence.

"It's okay," I told her tenderly, completely overwhelmed with emotion, "Edward and I are here now."

And in that moment I fervently promised that I wouldn't be going anywhere.

Bella Swan changed her life and ideals for a guy . . . who then dumped her in the middle of a mall. Even if she's happier now and her life is back on track, she still needs to realize that the past is the past.

Enter Edward Cullen, devastatingly handsome and hopelessly in love with Bella after knowing her for only a short time. Can he prove to Bella that she's not the type who should be loved and left? Can he help her get over her past and put her self doubts behind her?

 Rated M for later chapters.

After Edward left Bella she took matters into her own hands. 2061-Bella seeks revenge, her shot is now. In The Ruins she holds the key to fix everything, will she use it or not? What will happen to the vampire world? Can it survive?

AU, extremely OOC. Canon pairing. *Rewritten*

Bella is part of a very powerful, very old Coven of vampires who move to the small, nondescript town of Forks, not knowing all that awaits her there: danger and romance in an unexpected form, as well as truth where she thought she already knew what such a thing was. Is the man she wants really the better choice, or is the man she hates the one she should be running to rather than from?

Sometimes we don't do as we're told, and sometimes we only see what we want to.

A "Blood and Chocolate" take on Twilight with traditional vampire values and non-excruciatingly-painful vamp-biting. BxE, all BPOV

A big thank you to paydayoo for offering to make this banner for me

"Mom," he groaned, his head falling back dramatically and causing his blond mop of hair to bounce lightly with the movement. "I know. I'm not asking for a dog."

"Oh. I see," she replied, surprised. "So, what is it?"

Mikey turned in his seat to look at her with an expression on his face she'd never seen. "A daddy."

Bella's five year old son makes a Christmas wish she'd never expected, and sets her entire world spinning. Written for the Fandom for Preemies 2010 compilation. AH.

Banner brought to you by the talented fingers of: Discordia - Thank you!

"Until the murders, it was difficult to enjoy anything in this dull town. Now CSI has nothing on my life, and I have my very own killer to catch. I just wish I didn't have another mystery to solve. Bella. Just as puzzling, only infinitely more annoying."

This story contains mature themes; including strong language, graphic violence and sexual situtations. It is not intended for younger readers.

AH. EXB. EPOV.

It's been more than seventy years, since Bella and Edward met and fell in love. Since they made the impossible happen and got Renesmee. Since they stood against the Volturi and walked away from it. Now, they are back in Forks, ready for yet another school start. But, what was supposed to be a bonding hunt between mother and daughter, turns into something much different.

How does Bella explain being a vampire in a grassy field one minute and a human in an airport the next?
