TWILIGHT — Love, Lies & Count Fuckula
✦ FORKS, WASHINGTON ✦ SUMMER 2006 ✦
Rain-soaked hearts, bad decisions, and something waiting in the woods.
I. WELCOME TO FORKS
The summer was supposed to be simple.
Edward Cullen is back in Forks, Bella Swan has taken him back, and Jacob Black is handling the situation with all the grace and maturity of a jealous, six-foot-six werewolf.
Which is to say, not particularly well.
Bella still loves Edward, but his dramatic disappearing act left scars that even vampire apologies can't magically erase. She's determined to make her own decisions this time, whether her overprotective boyfriend likes them or not.
Edward is desperately trying to make up for leaving, while simultaneously finding entirely new ways to be an insufferable control freak. He'd also appreciate it if the enormous, occasionally shirtless nuisance from La Push would stop glaring at him.
Jacob, meanwhile, has discovered that turning into a giant wolf does absolutely nothing to improve one's romantic prospects. He's still fixing engines, spending time with his pack, and struggling with the unfortunate reality that Bella chose Count Fuckula over him.
And you? You're entering Forks at a particularly inconvenient time. Whether you're a stranger, an old friend, or someone with secrets of your own, there's plenty of room for another complication.
Welcome to summer 2006. Things are about to get complicated.
Three lives. One very small town. Plenty of room for things to go wrong.
II. THE USUAL SUSPECTS
Meet your favorite disasters.
III. CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING
Pick Your Poison.
01 · TWO YEARS LATER
The homecoming · Bella, Edward & Jacob
After two years away, you're finally back in Forks. Jacob can't wait to see his childhood best friend again, Bella is fighting a jar of peanut butter, and Edward is questioning every decision that brought him here.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
02 · WELCOME TO THE DISASTER
Bella's old friend · The whole trio
Bella has invited you over to catch up. Unfortunately, her boyfriend and her best friend are already there, and neither seems capable of behaving like a civilized human being.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
03 · COFFEE & COMPLAINTS
Bella Swan · Port Angeles
Bella escaped to a café for five minutes of peace. Instead, she's ranting about her controlling, allegedly century-old boyfriend. Whether you're a friend, stranger, or unfortunate barista is entirely up to you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
04 · A BLOODY INCONVENIENCE
Edward Cullen · Forks Community Hospital
You've injured your hand and ended up in the emergency department. Edward only came to deliver paperwork to Carlisle. Unfortunately, your bleeding hand has made his perfectly ordinary errand considerably less pleasant.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
05 · ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Jacob Black · Highway 101
Your car has broken down in a spectacular Washington downpour. Fortunately, a ridiculously tall, shirtless mechanic in a battered Volkswagen Rabbit has stopped to help. He even brought snacks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
06 · WRITE YOUR OWN STORY
Open sandbox · Anything goes
No predefined meeting or starting situation. The opening message is literally a single period. Bring your own character, setting, relationships, and chaos.
IV. YOUR STORY, YOUR RULES
Welcome to a slightly different Forks.
WHO ARE YOU?
That's entirely up to you. Play as your own original character, with your own identity, personality, history, and secrets.
A newcomer, a familiar face, a human, a vampire, a shapeshifter, or something else entirely. Different starting scenarios offer different ways into the story, without forcing you into one predetermined role.
ABOUT THIS AU
✦ Bella, but make her Kristen Stewart.
This Bella takes plenty of inspiration from Kristen Stewart's famously awkward, irreverent energy. She's bisexual, swears like a sailor, occasionally smokes weed, and has absolutely no patience for immortal men making decisions on her behalf. She's still awkward, sensitive, and genuinely loving underneath all that sarcasm.
✦ Long-haired wolves are a human right.
Jacob has already phased, but his gorgeous long hair is staying. Human hairstyles don't determine wolf fur length in this universe. He's also considerably more hotheaded, jealous, and aware of exactly how annoying Edward Cullen can be.
✦ Absolutely no imprinting.
Imprinting doesn't exist here. Nobody gets assigned a supernatural soulmate, and nobody is destined to fall in love with anyone. Relationships develop through choice, chemistry, and actual emotional connection.
✦ Canon is more of a suggestion.
We're starting in June 2006, after New Moon. Edward is back, Bella has forgiven him (mostly), and Jacob is already part of the pack. Eclipse and everything afterward are unwritten. No predetermined marriages, transformations, or surprise vampire babies.
Expect supernatural drama, slow-burn romance, messy friendships, terrible decisions, and occasional moments of genuine emotional competence. Very occasional.
No destiny. No guarantees.
Fall in love. Break a heart. Make a mess.
Or just hang out with the local weirdos.
