The year is 1850, and Bella and Edward are from two very different worlds. Can they make their friendship, and blossoming romance, last, even with the disapproval of Bella's parents? What lengths will they go to, to stay together?

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.

Two strangers, one kiss.

Since this would probably be the only time I’d ever get to kiss this gorgeous creature, I decided to make the most of it... 

A chance meeting + a slightly devious plan =  Happily ever after?

Not your average bedtime story, this is the tale of Bella and Edward.

**Thank you so much to the amazing Readergoof for making both of those gorgeous banners up there! Perfection! **

A special thank you to my pre-submission beta, MommasLittleMasochist, and my Twilighted Beta, nikkipattinson!

After years of mourning the loss of her parents, Bella enrolls in school at Forks High, where she meets the Cullen "children," and instantly realizes that her life will never be the same again.

Unimaginably, Bella's past collides head-on with her future ... in ways she never thought possible.  In fact, it shouldn't be possible ... at all.

I would like to offer my sincerest "thank you," to the amazingly talented, Enchanted_Mind, for creating such a wonderful banner ... again.  If you're looking for a banner, I don't think you can find anyone better, or easier to work with, than the kind and talented, Enchanted_Mind!  

To Bella and Charlie's surprise, Edward shows up looking to spend some bonding time with Chief Swan.  Will a fishing trip alleviate Charlie's dislike of Edward?  A companion piece to Utterly Absurd’s “Gone Fishing”, from Edward’s perspective.

An alternate ending to Eclipse in which Victoria kills Edward and turn Bella into a Vampire...

What makes a first love special? Is it worth waiting for? Is it worth working for, to make it last? Our favorite couple as college students who find each other and some answers. AH. NC-17 for underage drinking, drug reference, and later citrus.

This is an expansion of my very first fanfic, a one-shot for the 2010 Cherry Exchange Contest (which is already posted here).

Warning: This is an Edward/Bella fic, but the first several chapters happen before they meet, laying background and developing their characters into what they were at the time of the one-shot. Please be patient - I'm doing my best to make it worth the wait. 

One night can change so many things. Lies are exposed, truths are told, and confessions are made.

ExB one-shot

When Alice has a vision of the future in Forks, everything changes. New possibilities arise in Olympia, leading Alice to a new lover and leaving Jasper to discover the one who's been under his nose for half a century. Eventual Jasper/Edward. Slash, future M chapters.

Summary: Bella has some apologizing to do. Jacob insists there will be some rule changes made first.

What if Edward had tried to attack Rosalie to force Bella to have an abortion.  Esme would have something to say if he attacked her daughter.

Drinking only the blood of animals, Edward Masen fought to keep his humanity in an existence that always craved death and human blood.  But after ten years of suppressing the monster that rules his instincts, Edward believes that you can't hold on to what you don't have.  As he struggles with his ideals over right and wrong, Edward must decide if his humanity is a fair price to pay for a decent meal.

This story covers Edward's "rebellious years" when he left Carlisle to prey on humans.  But only the bad ones, so it's okay.......he thinks.

 *Awesome banner created by the amazing Tkegl.  Go read her stories.  Now.*

Of all the coffee houses, in all the cities, in all the world, he walks into mine. That was the only thought that ran through my head when the ex-love of my life walked into my local haunt. Is fate giving us a second chance?
