The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Rose wants to be like Alice and Edward wants to recreate his parents' happiness. Bella loves Edward, but misses the ease of being with Jake. What will our friends discover about themselves as they stumble through high school? AU, canon couples, no supernatural stuff. Thank you Stephenie Meyer for building me a playground.

Bella's relationship with Edward was toxic from the beginning. With the help of her best friend Jake, she's finally begun to piece her life back together. Four months later Edward is back for seconds. Can Bella break her cycle of rotten men? Abuse/mature scenes. AU all human. I'm playing with Stephenie Meyer's creations here; any resemblance is intentional.

The Battle of Hogwarts is over and the Dark Lord has been vanquished. Lives and relationships are being rebuilt, but Hermione has to come clean about her past to Ron before they can build a future together. Will Ron stand by her once he knows? Truth does have its own liberating magic. All honor to JKR. Please read and review.

Harry Potter drabble of little lost moments that our friend Ms. Rowling couldn't include in her tale. 100 word chapters could prove to be difficult but I'm going to try. I don't own any of these characters and the rating may be bumped to T if I so choose later.

Edward wants to consummate his relationship with Bella, but an ancient custom must be honored first for the satisfaction of the perspective lovers. This is a dark departure from canon. Read with that in mind. **Stephenie Meyer may not approve what I have done with her characters, but I thank her for providing me fodder.
