I don't know where I'm going with this. I just keep writing about this couple in my head, and I'm not even sure if I should continue with it. Original stories aren't really my calling, I fear. 


But since you all are my friends, I figure you will give me feedback. A yay or nay to continue.


And keep in mind that this has not been edited at all. This is rough. Rough in the roughest sense of rough.

 Title: Early Winter
Author: Adrian
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance/Angst
Characters/Pairings: Jacob/Bella
Short summary: Bella's been turned, and Jacob reflects on the now and the girl he once knew.
Disclaimer: All belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
Warnings: Okay, not really a warning in the sense that it's meant, but I have never written Jacob/Bella, and I haven't written anything at all in a while. Go easy on me.

He doesn't dazzle her. His smile doesn't make her weak, and she's got a hunch that his kiss wouldn't leave her breathless. When he walks in the room, she doesn't drop what she's doing and stare. When he seems angry, she isn't concerned, isn't worried; instead, she's angry, too. Irritated. Wants to punch him with his own clenched fists and tell him he's a fool. So when the idea of the two of them occurs to her, when he drops hints and stares at her with sad eyes, she isn't overly concerned about falling off the wagon, so to speak, and doing something she might later regret.


But he's got something no one else does. He's got the upper hand in this game of cards, and she worries that she might call his bluff. 


That boy's the only one who makes her laugh.

My grandmother's name is Mary Louise Tomlinson. When we grandkids were all babies, she wanted us to call her Mama Louise. That proved to be too difficult, so we somehow sputtered out Mama Ease. Now we've dropped the Mama, and she is what she is. 


I got a phone call yesterday from my parents. Another one today. I need to go home because Ease's health is failing. I mean, it's expected. She's 84. But it's never easy to hear things like this. That woman loves me so unconditionally, and I love her so much it hurts to think of her gone. Sure, I live hundreds of miles away, and I talk to her maybe once every few months. But it's that knowledge that she's still here in this world that makes me feel better. That she's living. 


This is the woman that made me butterbeans and cornbread and mashed them together when I was three years old and refused to eat because I didn't want to get 'fat'. This is the woman that always had candy bars hidden in the pantry when I got too thin and too weak and needed help. This is the woman that would plot for me to come visit, saying she needed help with her t.v., and when I would walk in, surround me with fried chicken and turnips and mashed potatoes and every other fattening thing she could come up with because she knew I needed it.


That woman has my heart, and she's fixing to leave me for good.

Title: Rain
Author: Adrian
Rating: R. I curse. My bad.
Genre: Romance/Angst
Characters/Pairings: Emmett/Bella
Short summary: Idea came from reading the prompt set at  twiriginal, and partly from the Patti Griffin song "Rain". This is my first dive into the Emmett/Bella pairing. So sorry if it's horrendous. AU fic set after "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn". Bella has been changed, and things aren't going as well as everyone thought they would.

Title: The Dreamer
Author: Adrian
Rating: PG because Edward says a worty-dird. :p
Genre: Romance/Angst
Characters/Pairings: Edward/Bella
Short summary: I was terribly bored and in the mood to write something, and this is the result. Basically Edward's musings while sitting in the hospital with Bella at the end of "Twilight". (And, also,

redhead_rampant, I never would have posted this if it weren't for you and your excellent beta-ness!)

Title: Salvation
Author: Adrian
Rating: G? Seriously, it's short and sweet and everyone can read it
Genre: Romance/Angst
Characters/Pairings: Edward/Bella
Short summary: Edward POV in 2nd person. One night, while Bella is sleeping, Edward reflects on life before and after her. Currently reading New Moon and thought of this after reading Carlisle and Bella's conversation on her birthday. My first fic for the fandom.
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns all characters. Cause she kicks ass like that.
