Between Us by Nuttyginger
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8442865/1/Between-Us
He was the same and different all in one body. The boy I had once loved had turned into a man...temptation in a tie, had swagger for days...and a curious British lilt that makes my insides tumble. Could we ever be what we were or am I just completely screwed? Rated M

Expectations and Other Moving Pieces by chrometurtle
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5440859/1/Expectations-and-Other-Moving-Pieces
Everything I had done in my life seemed to lead up to this moment. The moment when I found myself bound inextricably to a man I didn’t love, trapped in a life I didn’t want. And if I left him, I would be entirely alone. Rated M

Home for the Harvest by compass54
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11837767/1/Home-for-the-Harvest
Montana, 1000 feet above the Missouri River, was the last photo shoot before my vacation. The Cullen family, expanding the brand of their high-end whiskey, hired me to photograph their harvest. They chose an unknown male model to add sex to the campaign, and I knew working with an amateur would be a challenge. I never knew their seductive country boy would have me begging for more. Rated M

Seventh and Pine by Iambeagle
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8727265/1/Seventh-and-Pine
Eating food, drinking beer, and watching football are acceptable ways to spend your Thanksgiving Day. Wooing your niece's insanely attractive babysitter, however, is not.
Rated M

CHA-OS by Redtini
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12836834/1/CHA-OS
Bella Swan fell in love, got married, and was living her American dream. Until she met her soulmate. MA Edward, Bella, Jacob, Tanya. Romance, angst, and lemons. Rated M

Dandelions by CiaraShayee
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13103579/1/Dandelions
Maybe we were fooling ourselves, thinking we'd make it. In some respects, we have. We've created a comfortable life for ourselves and our beautiful children. If nothing else, they'll be our legacy. Proof that although we weren't destined to be together forever, we were always meant to create something worthwhile. Our love story is the same as many others. It was never meant to last. Rated M

Dark Paradise by allihavetodoisdream

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

Hit by Destiny outtakes by OCDMess
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6850378/1/Hit-By-Destiny-outtakes
Outtakes from the story "Hit By Destiny". Rated M

In the Mist by pattyrose
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13103588/1/In-the-Mist
1959: Alcatraz - The Rock. A prison island only a mile from San Francisco bay. A prison island almost always hidden by the Bay's dark mist. They say once you're on The Rock, you can't escape. And if you escape, you'll be found. We'll see about that. A short, Halloween Tale. Rated M

Memento Mori by MeteorOnAMoonlessNight
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13099212/1/Memento-Mori
She has spent her entire existence searching for the one who calls to her from within his mind. Pushing him into accepting her only sends them on a path to destruction. When the townspeople come for her, even her abilities are no match for the sunlight that sears her skin. Chained and weakened, with her execution looming, there is only one person who can save her. Rated M

Point & Shoot by BlueMeadow
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12965796/1/Point-Shoot
Two people. Two houses. One field. Sometimes anger is so much better than sorrow.
Rated M

SoCal by Krazyk85
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10810837/1/SoCal
Being with them wasn't the problem, but losing me was. A life filled with sandy beaches and sunshine, I felt safe here. Nothing bad ever happens in SoCal, except maybe bad Mexican food. Or so I thought. This isn't your everyday love story. Based on the movie Savages.
Rated M

Swifter Than the Stars by belladonnacullen
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12562196/1/Swifter-Than-the-Stars

The Pull by Janiedoe12
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8578100/1/The-Pull
Bella left Edward and everything she knew in Forks ten years ago. She knew he would never leave the MC, but circumstances drew her far away to accomplish her dreams. When Bella returns under somewhat mysterious circumstances, Forks will never be the same. AH. Tattward/Bikerward. Think Twilight meets Sons of Anarchy. Rated M

TMD by Ninkita
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12946091/1/TMD
"Ten inches and a missed opportunity," Alice mourned. "Never again. I'm never going to agree to date someone I meet at work. It's a disaster." Rated M

Tunes with Tony Masen by Just4ALE
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5821478/1/Tunes-with-Tony-Masen
Our late night calls were fascinating. His attitude in person was frustrating. Stupid radio host with the velvety, seductive voice. Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? Will the real Tony Masen please stand up? Rated M

Useless Things by bicyclesarecool
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12749515/1/Useless-Things
"The useless days will add up to something...these things are your becoming." No one said that growing up was easy, but for struggling musician Bella, it seems damn near impossible. Luckily, with her friends, her music, and the hot barista across the street, she might not completely screw up her entire life. Rated M
