The additional top vote getters:
MVP by AKABrattyVamp
"Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical." -Yogi Berra
The Captive and the Coward by LyricalKris
The lives of the highborn citizens of the realm are subject to tide of power that flows around them. When a match is made between Edward,son of the most powerful man in the kingdom, and Bella, highborn prisoner of the crown held hostage after her family's betrayal, neither party can refuse. It's not an ideal match for either the traumatized Lady nor the black sheep of Masen House.
Even In Death by drotuno
A month after losing his wife, Edward Masen was taking it one day at a time, trying to simply survive the torrent of grief. Surrounded by memories of their life together and messages she left, he was already questioning his sanity when his phone lit up in the middle of the night... with her picture and number.
A Big Enough Umbrella by bornonhalloween
Even a superhero has to pull on his tights one leg at a time. An "Old School" sequel as told by Umbrella Man himself. Rated M because they can't keep their hands off each other.
Going in Blind by ForeverRobsessed
A wedding. A murder. An enormous fortune . . . It was just another case for Agent Cullen to solve, just another killer to track down . . . until she turned up.
Red Ranger by 2brown-eyes
When Bella left years ago, she never had a chance to say good-bye to her friends. When she returns, she's shocked to see that the 'group' was no longer intact. Will she be the one to get them back together, or will something else prevent it from happening.
Where The Heart Is by BitterHarpy
"I am used to bad days as they make up most of the 365 days that we are allotted per year. This is my life, a series rainy days. And for me, when it rains it pours." But what happens when that bad luck suddenly changes at the hands of a man who rarely feels any emotion other than anger? And will it be soon enough to save the most precious person in Bella's life?
Forged By Fire by Sunshine1220
We rose from the ashes of their man-made disaster and became stronger, drawing our strength from where we've been and what we've seen. This is our world now, and they can't take it from us. AH, ExB, M for lang/lemons
Steady On by Edward's Eternal
The first day I saw her on the bus, was the day I lost my heart. Today, I planned on letting her know she was the one who had captured it.
Cerebral by LyricalKris
Edward Cullen was just the competition—the only other neurosurgeon possibly as good as she was in three states—until the day Bella's husband landed on his table. She'd never liked Edward, but after he killed her husband, she hated him. Too bad he got in her head the same way he got under her skin.
Honorable Mentions--These were in the mix until the last possible second:
The Last House on Blackberry Lane by shouldbecleaning
A small New England town, a house shrouded in mystery and a young man who is come from away.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables by LyricalKris
The wake of a tragedy—a school shooting—has far reaching consequences. Edward was living his life as though he had to make up for the four people who died in front of his eyes. Bella's life had been blown apart before it really started. Two strangers who happened to come back to the scene of the crime on the same day.
Masen Has Fallen by OtherRootVegetable
College Junior, Edward Masen's life has taken hit after hit, and he's just trying to get by as best he can. When the girl he's convinced is 'the one' stumbles into his life; he's not prepared for her or the utter disarray she brings into his life. "I looked at her, and I just knew - and then, from that moment on, nothing about my life was ever remotely simple or easy."
Ex Delicto by MeteorOnAMoonlessNight
An imprisoned man who's run out of options to prove his innocence, a young attorney volunteering her time to help the wrongly convicted, and the actual criminal walking around free for ten years. The consequences of a crime are far reaching and often unseen.
Saudade by Violet Bliss
Unhappy with her monotonous and seemingly aimless life, 24 year-old Bella Swan sends a wish up into the universe for more. It answers, leading her back to Forks, for a chance to fulfil the destiny always planned for her. But will the reluctant, handsome and butterscotch-eyed Dr Edward Cullen let her? AU.
