    Summary

    Carlisle is fairly certain his son leaving Forks forever and demanding they all leave with him is actually a temporary measure, at best. He also knows Bella is going to absolutely lose it, based on how co-dependent they've been. When Edward makes the family leave, and then immediately runs off to brood, it breaks something in Esme. Rosalie and Emmett split off, and shortly after Alice and Jasper do too. Carlisle thinks that, if the kids are all going to leave anyway, he and Esme may as well go back to Forks. Bella is going to need support right now, and Esme needs someone to take care of. He's briefly concerned about the way Bella has looked at him sometimes, but dismisses the concern. Being there for her in a time of need couldn't do any harm, and Edward isn't here to tell him not to. Carlisle doing this is definitely helping.

    Summary

    When Aro of the Volturi first received a suicidal Edward Cullen alongside his brothers in Italy, he had no way of imagining what was coming. Less than twenty-four hours later, the supposedly dead human girl the young vampire was ready to kill himself for is alive in the throne room, begging for his life. She is a loose end, a lit fuse that never should have been allowed to live-- but Aro can't bring himself to kill her.

    After all, it’s not every day a two-thousand-year-old vampire Master finds his mate in a human girl.

    Summary

    I held him, gently. One arm under his arm, the other over his shoulder. Face turned to the sun. A pietà.

    "Don't you think right now is good?" I asked. "We're warm. We're safe. You smell delicious."

    "My throat's on fire," he reminded me, peevishly. "Which means you're certainly not safe."

    Edward has overdramatic sad old man disease and Not-Bella is pretentious enough to think that's kinda hot.

    Summary

    “So,” she starts, breath hoarse around the question she shouldn’t ask, shouldn’t even think. “Is your life ruined?”

     
    Leah turns back to the little window overlooking the parking lot and Bella stares at the back of her head, wondering if Leah will answer or if Bella should stay quiet or if she should leave and never come back.

     
    “I guess it’s not as ruined as I thought it would be.”

     
    Set during New Moon, an AU where Bella wakes up from her coma screaming at Renee, Charlie starts working through a lifetime of distance and discomfort to be there for his daughter, and Bella meets Leah in better circumstances.
