Teaser: Finding Destiny by BellaC874

Summary: Bella Swan is a strange person. But the Cullens are more strange than she is, she just doesn't know how much. One night, a terrible accident leads Bella to learning what the Cullens really are...and leads her closer to her destiny in the form of Edward. AU, Canon Couples. 

Teaser:

     Now that Alice is occupied, I have to find something else to do. I would just go back home, but that's when I get creative and think it's a good idea to take a permanent marker to my walls. Do I know better? Yes, But when the creative process strikes, you have to use what you got and strike while inspiration is with you. Too bad that excuse doesn't get me out of being grounded.

     Going downstairs, I see that the living room is empty, so I plop down on the couch and turn on the Cullen's television, while grabbing a handful of candy that sits on the coffee table. It's a good thing that Esme and Dr C don't mind me being here, because if they did, who knows what kind of stuff I would be up to.

     I flip through their massive cable channels before landing on some silly movie that has even sillier lines and situations. Perfect.

     Just when I get really into the movie, Emmett and Edward come in, laughing about something. Edward takes a seat next to me on the sofa and I try not to notice how close he's sitting next to me. He's so close that I can feel the coldness from his skin wafting toward me and it's the best feeling in the whole world. If I could have it near me, on me, at all times I would.

     My fists clench on my thighs as I try to stop myself from grabbing his hand and holding it hostage. Surely he wouldn't miss it, right?

Teaser: When I Was Yours by CullensTwiMistress

 

 

 

Summary: This smoky bar is like all the others, except when I see you walk in my fingers falter on the strings, and for a brief moment I wonder if you're actually here to see me. ExB; AH; Hurt/Comfort/Romance. Rated M.

Teaser: 

It’s a full house tonight, like every other Saturday night at Jake’s. My set lasts an hour and I eagerly belt out one solid, classic hit after another; bantering with the audience in between songs.

Feet tapping and fingers strum, eyes roam and lips move. It’s typical. Exciting, yet the same.

My voice drifts around the room, reverberating against the walls and bouncing off the floor. I smirk as I watch a pretty blond mouth the words along with me. For a brief second, I give her my attention and she winks thinking she has a chance. She doesn’t.

The warmth from the overhead lights is almost overwhelming, but I’m able to shrug it off by losing myself in another song. Softer this time, my voice wraps around smooth lyrics that always remind me of a different time. A song that I always play at the end of my set.

It’s been a great night, everything going on as planned, each song being cheered more than the last.

Until you walk in, reminding me of everything I lost to get here and why I sing this song.

Teaser: Harry's Blessing by Kurinoone

 

“I don't understand,” Harry said, glancing behind Ginny to the smiling Healer. “What's wrong?”

“Nothing,” Ginny replied, still looking rather pale. “I don't know how I could have missed it,” she said. “I knew I was a day or two late, but-”

“Ginny,” Harry moved closer, “I'm freaking out here, tell me you're okay?”

“I'm fine,” Ginny replied and a slow smile spread across her lips. “Better than fine, actually.” She held onto his hand, her eyes sparkling bright. “I'm pregnant.”

After the tragic loss of their first born, Harry and Ginny get a second chance. Haunted by the events of her first pregnancy, Ginny refuses to leave the safety of her home. Friends and family gather to offer support and help Harry guide Ginny through her second pregnancy. But when Ginny goes into labour, weeks earlier than expected, Harry is left to wonder if he indeed is cursed never to experience the joy of fatherhood. James reminds his son, that to be a father is a blessing, and Harry is about to receive his blessing very soon.

We're Up and Running!

Has someone in your family been affected by leukemia? Have you always wondered what lymphoma really is? Fandom4LLS was formed to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

About our cause:

Approximately every 4 minutes one person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Cancer has affected many of our lives. I have met many survivors who have had to rebuild their lives since they were diagnosed. Worrying about who will take care of their children if they die and if the treatment will actually work. Their stories have touched my life and I hope they will touch yours as well.

Fandom4LLS is hoping to not only bring awareness to these cancers but to put a face to the name. We encourage you to explore the site and find something you can connect with. 

Throughout the event we will be spotlighting Real Life Heroes who have lived with cancer, but have not let it stop them from achieving their goals and more. You can read about remarkable Louie Bonpu and others now. 

All author pieces must be submitted by August 15th and all donations must be submitted by August 30th. This gives you almost 3 months to convince your favorite authors to participate!

Details for this year:
We are excited to welcome our Harry Potter authors! There will now be three compilations; Twilight, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter.

Minimum donation is $10. Don't forget to email us the receipt you received from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or PayPal.

For more information or to sign up as a contributing author, visit the "Contributing Authors Information" page. You can also find us on Twitter: @Fandom4LLS or email us at Fandom4LLS@gmail.com. 

We hope to continue to make this charitable event a huge success, so please spread the word and check back again soon!

Real Life Hero News

Hello everyone!

    I know it has been a long time since we last updated, but I found out today that one of the Real Life Heroes spotlighted on our page was recently told that her Leukemia has returned.

Sylvia was one of the first stories we told on our Real Life Heroes page. She is taking this news head on and started an aggressive course of treatment today.  She is mostly concerned about her three daughters, who have gone through this with her before three years ago.  Sylvia has been an active part of TNT and LLS by being an advocate for patients, collecting hats and scarves, an Honoree, and a great friend to many.  Now she needs our support. She will be inpatient at the hospital with the same treatment as last time, Chemo injected 24hrs for a week, then she will remain in the hospital for a month.

I ask that you please keep her in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks. She is a beautiful person inside and out.

After finding out that another person close to me was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia over the summer and is unable to find a bone marrow match I decided to sign up for another season with Team In Training (TNT). This time I will be competing in my first triathlon. My season was in honor of Camilia and Gina, and I will now be adding Sylvia to the people I pray for and admire. There is a link at the bottom of this page as well as a widget on the side if you would like to help the cause.

Thank you to all of you for your generosity,

ZiggyND

You can donate to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society here.
