When Edward found out that his Nana is suffering from cancer, he drops everything and rushes to the small town of Masen Valley - where he grew up - to see her. Being back in that town with his adopted daughter Ella brings back all sorts of memories; memories he wanted to escape from, memories that had led him to leave the place and settle in Jacksonville to build his career as a contractor. But his Nana had taken him and his sister Rosalie in when they had no one, and she was the mother figure in their lives; the least Edward could do was be with her during her final days. Watching your loved one wither away right before your eyes is not something easy, and Edward takes it particularly hard with his deep connection with his Nana as well as the place he was in. He just wanted to rewind time and go back to Jacksonville with his daughter again, where things were stable. Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, he gets called down by an old Mrs Cope to fix up a worn down house that she was planning to loan to a young brunette - Isabella. 

When the two meet, they feel something between them that neither of them has felt for a long time now. Edward's frequent visits to Bella's house makes the two of them bond, and Edward finds out that he is not the only one broken here. Bella has come down to Masen Valley for her own escape of sorts and she is dealing with her own issues. As time goes on, Bella - who finally decides to follow her dreams of being a photographer - becomes extremely close to Edward's darling daughter Ella and the southern drawled man himself, Edward. The two of them fall in love together and Bella is more than happy to take on the role of being Ella's mother. With so many things to hold on to, will the two of them be able to share their significant pasts with each other and let that go? Will Nana's passing away be too much for Edward to bear that he will want to leave for Jacksonville?

Holding On and Letting Go is a story that captures realism and teaches you about what things you really need to embrace in life. Both the characters in here have something of their own to deal with, and when they meet with each other, they realize that there are some things worth giving up for and others that simply shouldn't get out of your hands. The fanfiction is much too underrated for the wonderful plot-line and very few - if any - grammatical errors. Jenny0719 was really creative with this story and you will be surprised at many of the twists and turns on this roller-coaster. All I say is, don't miss it! Edward and Bella have a fabulous chemistry between them and their personalities - especially Edward's - will thaw at your heart. Ella, Edward's daughter is just the icing on the cake who makes both of their lives even more beautiful than it already is. Oh, and did I mention that Edward's southern accent it absolutely amazing?! So don't wait too much and enjoy this emotion-filled story as soon as you can!

This wonderful one-shot is the winner of the "GOING FOR THE GOLD" contest - and rightfully so. In this story Bella, a successful figure skater, and Edward, an equally successful snowboarder, meet at the Olympic Games in Russia. The two have secretly followed the career of the respective other but never found the courage to talk to each other. That changes when Bella is escaping her room mates naughty party and runs straight into handsome and cocky Edward. And although the two can hardly keep their feelings under control, Bella's insecurities and worries are about to prevent them from having their happily ever after...

It's a wonderful story! Beautifully written and with some very cute and romantic scenes. And if the Edward's humor or there passionate night they spend together doesn't keep you glued to the screen, the little extra drama put in by Jenny0719 will definitely do!

Melt With You is a one shot and consists of 10,290 words. The story is rated M for mature content.

When Bella Swan is informed that she has an irreparable heart defect she believes her life is over. Yet fortunately, the doctors are able to find a donor and successfully transplant a new and healthy heart into her body. Because Bella wants to know more about her donor she is doing some research. She finds out that her new heart once belonged to Maggie Carr, a young woman whose family apparently lived not far from her father Charlie in Forks. Bella doesn't think twice and packs her bags to move to her dad.

Edward Cullen has never been happy his entire life. At the age of 14 and after suffering from hunger, poverty, and parents, who fight more than one addiction, he is adopted by Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Along with his adoptive brothers Emmett and Jasper, Edward moves to Forks, Washington and studies to become a doctor. Yet although the Cullens try to make his life as normal as possible, Edward hardly trusts anyone, refuses to touch others, and hates to be bothered. That changes when Bella Swan walks into his life and starts working for Emmett's garage. Edward wants her, needs her, but refuses to admit it. Convinced he'd hurt her if he got too close, Edward tries to avoid Bella as much as possible. Yet he can't seem to let go of the girl with the big brown eyes...

Dear Maggie is a very emotional and angsty story. Both Edward and Bella are very broken characters as they had to deal with a lot of pain and fear in their lives. Yet while Bella begins to enjoy life, nature, and people even more than before, Edward turns into a brooding, rude, and arrogant young man, who hates himself and the world around him. Bella tries to help Edward as much as possible but can't bring him to see that there are some things worth fighting for in this world and he doesn't have to fight alone. Things get even more complicated when she finds out that Edward is Bella's biological brother!

Dear Maggie is really worth reading, but beware, we're talking angst here!
