Life and Death - Stephenie Meyer+1
by sunshineriver
Told in both Bella's and Edythe's POV, this is inspired by the entire Twilight saga, including Life and Death, and Midnight Sun.
I let Bella's personality shine and brought out the cool backstories of the Cullen/Hale family because, well, WE NEED A PLOT in the first 300 pages (you gave us an amazing canvas to start with, though, Stephenie Meyer, so thank you). I also strengthened a lot of relationships, mostly with Bella--Charlie, Renee, Phil, Jules, Leah, Seth, Rebecca, Rachel (if you don't know who the last two are, that's exactly why I'm including them), Harry, Billy, Angela, and Jessica. I toned down the shiny-new-toy vibe that Bella gets/gives when she starts school, and made it clear that it's NOT okay how persistent Mike is when Bella's not interested. Jessica has more potential to be a good friend. We get more diversity with race, LGBTQ+ identities, and physical disabilities. And then we get some bonding with Rosalie, Edythe, and Jules over cars; Bella and Edythe over music; Bella and Carlisle with science; and Phil, Charlie, and the Cullens with baseball.
