* Sypnosis: A simple request from an odd visitor sends the Volturi clashing against an enemy that might be more dangerous than anyone, human or vampire, had ever thought possible. A study on the tragedy of immortality and the beauty of undying love.
* Comments: An incredibly detailed story which takes turns exploring and fleshing out the members of the Volturi, especially Jane, Alec, Corin and Felix, but also giving minor characters such as the Volturi wives a breath of life. The storyline itself combines these character case studies with an intriguing plot featuring a rival coven and a possible conspiracy. It has its share of humor and wit, a little bit of sadness and philosophy and extensive thoughts about the condition of immortal beings.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4999187/1/ Twilight the Rewrite]]'' by Tprinces
* Recommended by: @/YonTroper

* Synopsis: A rewrite of ''Twilight'', fixing some sequencing, logic and writing issues.
* Comments: An excellent rewrite for people who didn't like the original book. Very well-written and actually quite tense and exciting at parts, and the more glaring [[PlotHole Plot Holes]], pacing issues and MarySue tendencies are fixed. The author's also done a re-written version of ''New Moon'' and is working on a new version of ''Eclipse''.
** I read the first 15 chapters or so... I must say that while it is a good vampire story... I feel that it isn't a proper re-write, change the characters' names and you wouldn't even outright connect with Twilight and IMHO it makes it is a poor rewrite, even if it is a good story.
** IMHO, this is a far better interpretation of these characters than Meyer could pull off herself. In the canon material, everyone is basically just a cardboard cutout with superpowers and sparkles tacked on. Of course the rewrite versions of the characters look nothing like the source material - the rewrite versions actually resemble ''people.''

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6943582/1/ Vampire Assassin]]'' by deathnoteuser07
* Recommended by: gamingNerd, transformerz

* Synopsis: What the fifth twilight book could be like. The volturi are still upset about "losing" to the Cullens over the Renesmee conflict in ''Breaking Dawn'', so they devise a plan to kill them all.

* Comments: If you were disappointed by the battle that never happened in Breaking Dawn, this is the story for you. YMMV on whether or not it's an alternate universe fic, and a DarkFic. Also, it's one of the few stories out there where the OriginalCharacter is NOT a MarySue.
** Pigeonbrain: I can't support this recommendation. I hesitate to say this, but, I'm not sure if the author has even read the book. Either that, or it's a parody. The OC(who feels very MarySue to me) kills Esme effortlessly with a whip, nevermind the supposed stoneskin. Afterwards, they seriously consider that the ninja-assassin might have been a werewolf, even though vampires are supposed to have excellent smell. Carlisle's reaction to the murder of his wife is 'a hint of sadness' in his voice. It does have a certain narm-charm, but as a serious entry, no.

* Comments: A sequel of sorts to The Wedding Crashers by dasmervin. Definitely for antis.
** Follows ''The Wedding Crashers'' perfectly by reiterating the arguments through people Bella and Edward typically consider to be on their side and adding new ones as well. Of particular not is the lovely moment when Esme points out to Bella that vampires don't stay hidden just because it makes them seem mysterious, they ''do'' have good reasons for hiding from humanity. Also a great fic for anyone who finds canon!Esme to be too much of a doormat.

* A story for the Leah-lovers, the Imprinting-haters, and all the feminists who felt offended by Twilight. Leah's criticisms of Emily sound like any that could have been leveled at Bella. It also looks at how Imprinting might affect the Imprint-ee. Specifically in how almost every retort of Emily's is the same thing: [[spoiler: "Sam loves me.'']]

''[[http://xlormp.livejournal.com/ The Most Popular Book in the Whole World (and sequels)]]'' by Jessica Wagstrom
* Recommended by Kaza999
* Synopsis: A parody of the entire Twilight series. We follow the adventures of Friggin' Gorgeous, called Frig, and her space alien boyfriend Xlormp. It really must be read to be believed.
* Comments: Probably not a story for diehard fans, The Most Popular Book in the Whole World is extremely funny, mocking the writing style of the original books while keeping its own distinct flavor. Even though the other books in the series (the Most Second Book in the Whole Series, Only Slightly Better Than the Last Book, and the Most Incredible Work of Literature in the Entire Cosmos) fall prey to some slight CerebusSyndrome, they remain funny, the plots remain...unusual and the characters remain likable. Though a good read, it's pretty long.

* Synopsis: After four years on her own, Leah thought she'd escaped her dismal old life at La Push. But when she's called home to attend Jacob and Renesmee's wedding, she brings a little company, and the stage is set for her old and new lives to collide.
* Comments: A crossover with ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' that takes place ten years after ''Breaking Dawn'', with Leah Clearwater, Sam and Dean Winchester, and Castiel as the protagonists. This is a totally awesome, kickass fic that brings up everything that is wrong with the ''Twilight'' universe (without having to exaggerate or distort anything) - and then introduces a good dosage of reality to it - SPN style of course.
** Another major draw of the fic for fans of deconstructions is the outsider's view that Sam, Dean, and Castiel bring to the table in regards to the vampires and werewolves of Twilight as said by a brutally honest angel and two very blunt young men. It explores how someone not as close to the main characters would see things like imprinting, Leah's treatment, the vampire's constant hypocrisies, Bella's eagerness to be turned, and the Cullens' supposedly glamorous lifestyle. Also, the fic takes its time, meaning that when we finally arrive at the expected TheReasonYouSuckSpeech ''none'' of it comes off as being disingenuous, over the top, or full of informed flaws.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4590974/1/Huilen-s-Story Huilen's Story]] by persephonesfolly
* Recommended by: Kizuna Tallis
* Pairing(s): Brief mentions of the canon couples, but other than that, none.
* Synopsis: Remember Huilen and Nahuel (the other Human-Vampire hybrid encountered late into ''Breaking Dawn'')? This is their story.
* Comments: Very well written. Huilen's emotions and feelings during her journey (her initial resentment of Nahuel to ultimately coming to care for him especially) are very strong and leap off the page. Sure, she does come off as a bit mean at times, but considering her circumstances it's hard to blame her, plus the story ends on an ultimately hopeful note.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8053900/1/Departing Departing]]'' by nintendogal55

* Synopsis: Leah Clearwater has had enough. She is ready to leave the reservation, re-locate to another town and college, and just start fresh on her own. There is resistance in the pack, however. But Leah is no doormat. She will not allow this continue any longer. It's her life, not theirs, and she is damn well going to let them know it.
* Comments: Addresses many of the things that happen to Leah in the Twilight novels. Very satisfying, and in the same vein as Freedom Triumphs.

* ''Synopsis'': Post-series, the Cullens decide to attend college, and Edward is stuck with the human roommate Caden Mills, an emotional pop culture junkie. Though initially dismissive and uncomfortable with the arrangement, Edward slowly takes more of an interest in Caden, and the entire 21st century.
* ''Comments'': Not slash, whatever that synopsis may indicate. Rather, it's an attempt to actually give Edward a personality, and though written by someone who hates the series (before this, Estora specialized in sad and disturbing one-shots about the {{Unfortunate Implications}} of the books) Edward is written as quite likable in his {{Defrosting Ice Queen}} phase. Also, Caden himself is not written as a Mary Sue on his own, which was my biggest fear going into this.

* Synopsis: An alternate take on what could have been if ''Eclipse'' ended a little differently for Bree Tanner and what she might have done with her new lease on life. Features the Cullens, the Volturi, the La Push Pack and many other favorites from the Twilight Saga.
* Pairings: Bree/Alec, Canon
* Comments: A great look at Twilight, from a fresh perspective, particularly if you're a die-hard shipper of the Edward/Jacob/Bella wars who just wants some peace and quiet. (Edward/Bella is mentioned only briefly, before the story leaves it largely in the dust.)
** Halinmonk: Agreed, there is some Narm here and there but it clears up fast and if you can enjoy the {{TearJerker}}s and CrowningMomentsofHeartwarming then there is a lot of awesome to go around. In my personal opinion: MadeOfWin. Also has its own page now, in need of WikiMagic.
** Reason: Your Mileage May Vary, since the grammar certainly leaves something to be desired, but if you don't mind editing it in your head, the actual content is good.

* Synopsis: What the fifth twilight book could be like. The volturi are still upset about "losing" to the Cullens over the Renesmee conflict in ''Breaking Dawn'', so they devise a plan to kill them all.
* Pairings: Canon
* Comments: If you were disappointed by the battle that never happened in Breaking Dawn, this is the story for you. YMMV on whether or not it's an alternate universe fic, and a DarkFic. Also, it's one of the few stories out there where the OriginalCharacter is NOT a MarySue.
** Pigeonbrain: I can't support this recommendation. I hesitate to say this, but, I'm not sure if the author has even read the book. Either that, or it's a parody. The OC(who feels very MarySue to me) kills Esme effortlessly with a whip, nevermind the supposed stoneskin. Afterwards, they seriously consider that the ninja-assassin might have been a werewolf, even though vampires are supposed to have excellent smell. Carlisle's reaction to the murder of his wife is 'a hint of sadness' in his voice. It does have a certain narm-charm, but as a serious entry, no.

* Synopsis: Bella can't decide between Edward and Jacob. Then she discovers a secret: the two boys are secretly in love with each other. Alternate title ''[=MeYer=] Immortal''.
* Pairing: Edward/Bella/Jacob
* Comments: Okay, this is not so much a straight ''Twilight'' fanfic as a [[FusionFic fusion]] of ''Twilight'' and ''FanFic/MyImmortal''. Which... makes a surprising amount of sense.

* ''Comments'': Also known as ''The Paper Doll Kindergarten'''s good twin. It addresses the same topic and the same issues, but it a [[{{WAFF}} totally different way]]. The last fact is three simple statements that contain as much genuine happiness as all four {{Doorstopper}}s did, and then some.

* ''Synopsis'': Jacob said: "I was the natural path your life would have taken…If the world was the way it was supposed to be."Is that true? AU, a reimagining of Twilight, starting at the beginning. Jacob/Bella, Bella's POV
* ''Comments'': Bella moves to Forks a semester before she does in the books and before Edward arrives so she gets a chance to get to know Jacob first. There was just so many times while reading this story that one of the things in the book that drove me crazy is completely subverted and the characters make intelligent choices. What's more, Bella? She actually cares about non-mythological creatures!
** Lemia: Seconded. What really sold this fic for me was how it ''didn't'' bash Edward and the rest of the Cullens but put in the effort to make them well-rounded and likable characters too so it felt less like a generic "Twilight sucks and we're going to bash it all over the place" fic and more like a fully developed story in its own right that not only gives Bella a likable personality and a believable romance with Jacob but also creates just as fully formed and heartwarming relationships between them and the Cullens. Highly recommended.
** LotusQuill: Thirded. This fic made me stop my infinite lurker status and review. In canon, I mourned the authorial mistreatment of Jacob (and everyone) but this writer fleshed them out wonderfully and I appreciated the character interactions and relationships. I give my full recommendations for this story.
