Bella and Edward are trapped in Volterra after Edward agrees to accept Aro's offer to join the guard. Now that Bella is changed, things suddenly don't seem so dire. They discover a powerful and passionate love that they now have eternity to explore. A companion story to "Jewel in the Crown," by the same author.

A/U: A continuation of the story New Moon Rewound. After spending over three months with the Denalis in Alaska, the Cullens return home so that Bella can graduate from high school and marry Edward. They believe that the wolves killed Victoria, but she really tricked them. What will happen when she returns again to take her revenge for James' death. No triangle or Jacob bashing.

Revised summary: 7 years after Breaking Dawn, the Cullens have moved with Jacob to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. It's Bella and Renesmee's first experience playing the human game. Follow their steps and missteps. Early chapters focus on the adaptation of Jacob's expectations, be patient. Renesmee is still younger than everyone thought that she would be, but that makes for more fun!

A/U: This story alters the plot so that the primary storyline of New Moon never happened, it was just a nightmare. But as Bella continues to have nightmares, are they really premonitions? Everyone is puzzled. Curious? Read on. Completely canon-friendly, but no Edward-Bella-Jacob triangle. No Jacob bashing either!
