Her past and present come full circle when she realizes her high school boyfriend, Edward, will be working with her.

Dank by nadiak-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9949005/1/Dank
She wants a thrill and she finds it in the bad boy from the dangerous side of the tracks. Watch them both intertwine themselves into worlds they never even belonged in. Learning the best lesson there is. We're all different but yet the same. Rated M

Dark Paradise by Allihavetodoisdream-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10594891/1/Dark-Paradise
She lives in a make-believe world of open roads and endless freedom to escape an addiction-riddled mother and a grabby older man with sick intentions. Adrift in a place of uncaring hearts, she makes her getaway. She finds a ratty old motel, late night smokes, a new life, and a boy with a past as clouded as her own. A boy with a dark gentleness too beautiful to ignore. Rated M

Delphian City by Boom-Boom Jones-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8028439/1/Delphian-City
There are dark secrets in Delphian City. Edward Cullen is one of them. Rated M

Holiday Cheer by winterhorses-rec'd by MariahajilE
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11689673/1/Holiday-Cheer
Edward's in serious need of a little Christmas cheer this holiday season. Maybe he can find some at the bottom of a bottle at Carlisle's bar. Rated M Slash

Kairos by sparklymeg-rec'd by Nic/Midnight Cougar
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11801717/2/Kairos
Summary: Kairos - from Ancient Greek - the right or opportune moment - the perfect timing. Age is just a number, but timing is everything. Originally written for the May to December Romance Contest. Rated M

Milk Teeth by Sparrownotes24-rec'd by LayAtHomeMom
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11793793/1/
England 1991. Indie rock and bombs, fire and riots. We partied and ran wild, trying to find ourselves amongst the ashes. I found a lot more than that. Rated M

Rescission by GeekChic12-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9533161/1/Rescission
We met. We got off. We went home. We weren't lovers. We weren't even friends. We were f- buddies. It worked... Until it didn't. Rated M

The Age of Innocence by Pattyrose-rec'd by SixDlb5
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10815898/1/The-Age-of-Innocence
On the eve of the Second World War, young Isabella has been taken from all she knows and is now stepdaughter to one of the richest men in America. Spending her summers in Washington State, she's unaware that this is where she & a young boy will find their fate, where childhood friendship will mature into the fiercest love: a love that must endure the end of innocence. Rated M

The Front by Alwaystryingtodobetter-rec'd by MariahajilE
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11745042/1/The-Front
Front: noun...the foremost part or surface of anything ; a facade ; verb...to meet face to face. It's all in the semantics, isn't it? Bella Marie works all hours to pay off her father's debts when she's thrown from the pot into the fire. Rated M

The Student body by Drotuno-rec'd by Nic
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11788395/1/The-Student-Body
When Bella's subject drops out of her experiment with less than two months left before her thesis is due, she panics. In walks Edward Cullen, best friend and fellow med student. Staying clinical may prove difficult when things get personal. Rated M
