Mysterious Graffiti by Michaelmas54

There's a stealthy build-up to an exciting climax for our Twilight characters. Rated M for the usual reasons.

Beneath the Branches by LayAtHomeMom
"The town of Forks is typically synonymous with boredom, not serial killers." 

Begin Again Again by pattyrose
Bella's life philosophy has shifted in the past few years since she reconnected with Edward: Life gets real, and no, you can't start the same batch over...but you can ALWAYS begin again. She likes this one. She's pretty sure this one will stick. But in the face of yet another life-altering event, can she and Edward follow this philosophy, and readjust their lives all over again? M 

Stasis by Sunshine1220

Honorable mentions:
(only one vote shy of the Top Ten)

Vice president of the legal department in her family's business, she tries to bury her pain in work. All of that changes the day she meets a man that has obviously suffered from a serious trauma.
