Foreword
Hello, I'm Bela Rabenstein, and I absolutely love the Twilight series and mean no disrespect by my fanfiction - which will be incredibly long and an undertaking I hope to be able to accomplish within the next few years. Essentially, the purpose of my fanfiction is to explore a world that is as little altered as possible from the original version with respect to the original author, in which every character as possible will remain the same in name, age, personality-except for Edward.
In this new telling, Edward is Edythe, and yes-this is a fem/slash. Personally there are not enough female x female romances in the world that are not distorted to either be all about 'sex' or feature this pairing. I've looked on on my phone-other websites-I found no pairings between Bella and Edward's female counterpart. The more I thought about the individual characters and the way they are, the way they fell in love and are in many ways out of step with the world they live in, the more this paring seemed to gain grounding and value. Merit, if you forgive my telling of a romance in this unconventional form.
so that begged the question, if I could chose any well-known or semi-known actress, who was the most suited to appear as similar to Robert Patternson's character while having some physical traits to the person composed in the Twilight books? I spent hours searching for a face claim, not that one is necessary since our imagination is the most important fuel that is needed, but eye-candy can be rather inspiring as well. I finally settled on a photo of Kierra Knightley, with slightly rusty hair and modified eyes and skin to more resemble Edward, while having 'bronze-copper' hair. I oocly do not like redheads, and I looked up several shades of copper, and some copper is very bronze-like, so I went for something slightly more bronze in the coloration of the inspiration image-if you wish to imagine the pure copper as red or strawberry blond, the inspiration will belong to you-the reader.

The major changes in my head as to the differences between the original twilight and this alternate telling will show up the in the third story! As I don't want to temper with the integrity or 'feel' of the story, but I wanted something lovely and enjoyable for others who are established or still finding themselves, to have a female x female romance to read with some truth to feeling and integrity. A love that goes beyond gender or physical body and transcends from one soul to another soul. I feel in that aspect, the story between Edward/Edythe and Bella doesn't change, and I hope this fanfiction can get that point across as much as possible.
To answer any questions here:
* No I didn't copy paste the entire book. I type it word for word, changing subtle things as I go, not because I lack imagination, but because when I do add the major big changes, the past building up to it needs to make sense and I love the original story very much. Writing word for word (from Stephanie Meyer's original book, which I do not own) helps me get in character to write as true to the spirit as possible of the story. So, sorry for the major slow burn, you may even get some lemons if you hold out for me. It's true, I could have gone straight to the punch and wrote based on the time-frame for eclipse and new moon's plot, with the way I imagine it to be, but I felt that robs the enjoyment of reading all the build up scenarios that lead to that point to make it more worthwhile for me. I do change things, ultimately the climax of the books will end vastly different, I hope you can find the subtle variances I've changed, and enjoy it when I make the major changes down the road.
* I was asked offline once if I accept donations for the time I put in writing any fanfiction. I will never accept donations. Period. You guys can save this, read it, I don't care. If it inspires you and you enjoyed the read, that's really all that matters to me as it should to anyone sharing their silly fantasies (long or short). I'm writing this for me, but I thought others might like to read it, so here it is.
* Yes I can write XD Please read my other fanfiction stories, though those are older works and about Cats, for a sample of what to expect of how deep I plan on going into things once the 'past' is there.
* The Ebooks I read while I type all belong to Stephanie Meyer, my fanfiction is for my own whimsy and fun, enjoyment for those who read my subtle and big edits, and I mean no insult by sharing my own interpretation of this fanfiction. Twilight will never be mine, nor will I ever use any part of this writing as 'my own' or claim it as my own. If you're worried of copyright, you can call this daydream a 'parody' or imitation, meant for humor and enjoyment.
Thank you for your time, I hope you can appreciate my telling, and give credits to the original Author Stephanie Meyer, buy adoring her novels-as well as the version where Edythe and Beau have their unique ending together, and Edward and Bella have Renesme.
So, if you don't mind a lengthy read, please give me your comments if desired, I'll answer any questions you have, and be -patient- for the big-big changes to happen~
Preface
I'd never given much thought to how I would die – though I'd had reason enough in the last few months – but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.
I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me.
Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not unreasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
