On Bella's first day at Forks High School, Bella is paired in biology with Rosalie, who finds her blood unbearably tempting. Despite that little obstacle, the two begin to develop feelings for each other.

When she's not spending time with Rosalie or dealing with supernatural threats, Bella is hanging out with her friends in Forks and La Push, whose personalities, as well as Bella's relationships with them, get a lot more development and screen time than in canon.

The series consists of:
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25710196/chapters/62426515 A Rose By Any Other Name...]]'', corresponding to the first ''Twilight'' book. Completed in 2020.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39819852/chapters/99695016 An Untimely Frost...]]'', corresponding to ''New Moon''. Ongoing.
* A [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29241537/chapters/71801787 collection]] of one-shots on the backstories of the characters. So far, three of a planned five have been written.



-----
!!Provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In ''An Untimely Frost'', Bella finds out about the wolves much sooner after the ones she knows personally start phasing, so she doesn't have time to feel rejected or betrayed by them withdrawing.
* AdaptationalBadass: Carlisle spent his early years as a vampire successfully fighting off vampires that tried to feed on humans around London.
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Esme, Leah, and Sam are all trans; Eric is nonbinary.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike in canon, Laurent actually succeeds in swearing off human blood after joining the Denalis. When he shows up in Forks, it's to check on Bella at Alice's request.
* AdaptationalJerkass: [[spoiler:Renée refuses to accept that Bella is gay and has a girlfriend. In the ensuing fallout, it's also revealed that she lied extensively about the circumstances of her split from Charlie to make herself look better and him worse.]]
* AdaptationalJobChange:
** Charlie is now the fire chief, not the police chief.
** Esme is a teacher at the elementary school in Forks.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Lauren Mallory here is a sarcastic-but-friendly girl who has nothing against Bella, in contrast to her [[AlphaBitch canon counterpart]].
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Many non-canon romantic pairings (see PromotedToLoveInterest).
** Bella and Jacob are much closer sooner, with her calling him her best friend as early as the mid-first installment, and there's no romantic tension between them.
** Leah and Sam’s relationship has been over for two years, and ended much less dramatically than in canon, when he came out as trans and she realized she [[IncompatibleOrientation couldn't be with a man romantically]]; they're now AmicableExes. Meanwhile, Sam's relationship with Emily formed naturally with no magical bond involved.
** With Bella and Edward no longer [[LoveInterest Love Interests]], he has a similar relationship to her as Rosalie did in canon, resenting the danger to the family (and to Bella herself) that her relationship with Rosalie represents.
** Bella is closer friends with the Forks human kids, and shows more genuine enjoyment in hanging out with them.
** Tara Galvaz is good friends with Lauren, and in ''An Untimely Frost'', becomes part of the main friend group as a result.
* AdaptationalSexuality: The premise of the fic.
* BiTheWay:
** Esme is HappilyMarried to Carlisle in the present, while the love of her human life was a woman.
** Lauren is seen dating boys, mentions having asked out Rosalie in the past, and expresses attraction to Leah.
* CargoEnvy: Lauren after watching Leah ride off on her CoolBike.
--> '''Lauren''': I’ve never wanted to be a motorcycle so badly in my life. She can ride me anytime.
* TheCracker: James is skilled at computer hacking, and puts those skills to use when he and Victoria are hunting Bella.
* GenderFlip: Embry and Quil are both girls in this fic, while Eric is nonbinary.
* LadyInAPowerSuit: Rosalie wears one on a couple of occasions, much to Bella's delight.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The fic mostly follows ''Twilight'' canon, but there are a few changes. Vampires retain human taste sensations and can eat human food (though it doesn't nourish them), have fangs that extend when they're about to bite someone, and take only 24 hours to turn rather than the canon 72.
* PromotedToLoveInterest:
** Rosalie for Bella, obviously.
** Edward and Emmett are also made a couple, in order for Rosalie to be the only single Cullen in the present day.
** Charlie and Billy also become a couple.
** Eric and Ben are revealed to be dating in the sequel.
* RomanticFakeRealTurn: How Carlisle and Esme's relationship began. They started out posing as husband and wife as part of their human cover story, but ended up falling in love for real.
* SecondLove: Carlisle and Esme are this to each other; both had spouses in their human lives that they loved deeply, who died before they were turned.
* SettingUpdate: The story begins in 2015, just ten years later than the canon books. It only comes up when the characters use smartphones, or when they mention things that didn't exist in the 2000s, such as [[spoiler:when Bella, needing an cover story to leave Forks when fleeing Victoria, claims she and Rosalie scored tickets to ''{{Theatre/Hamilton}}'']].
* SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson: Esme. She spent her human life publicly presenting as male, but when her body was rebuilding itself as she turned, it rebuilt itself into a shape that matched her inner self-image.
* WrenchWench:
** Rosalie, as in canon.
** Jacob's mom is said to have been the one who taught him to fix cars before she died.
