Edward may become more protective. After New Moon, he realizes how much he almost lost Bella. So in fanfiction, he might be constantly on guard, which could sometimes cause tension in their relationship as Bella wants more independence. For Bella, she could become more confident in her relationship with Edward. She's no longer the hesitant girl she was in New Moon, but a stronger person who knows what she wants.
Bella often becomes a stronger character. She might start to focus more on herself and her own growth. For example, she could learn self - defense or focus more on her studies. As for Edward, he usually realizes his mistake in leaving Bella. He may go through a period of self - loathing and then try to find a way to come back to her. In some fanfictions, other characters like Jacob become more important in Bella's life during Edward's absence, and this changes the dynamics between all of them.
Some fanfictions might show them becoming more independent within the relationship. Bella could become more assertive, and Edward would respect her new - found confidence. For instance, she could start making decisions about their future without always relying on Edward's input.
In some fanfictions, their relationship deepens on a spiritual level. Since they've both been through so much, they start to understand each other's souls better. They communicate without words, and their love becomes more of a profound connection that goes beyond the physical and emotional aspects.
In fanfic, Bella's character can become more assertive. Instead of always being the damsel in distress, she might take charge in certain situations. For example, when facing threats to the Cullen family, she could be the one coming up with plans. Edward, on the other hand, may become more in tune with his human side. He might start to enjoy human activities more, like going to concerts or art galleries, which he previously avoided. This evolution can make their relationship more balanced and interesting.
In some fanfictions, their relationship becomes even stronger. They've been through so much together by the end of Breaking Dawn that they have an unbreakable bond. They understand each other on a deeper level and are more in tune with each other's needs.
In Eclipse fanfiction, their relationship often evolves through increased trust. Bella starts to trust Edward more with her safety and future decisions. For example, she may be more willing to let him take the lead in dangerous situations.
The Volturi also keep an eye on this situation. With Bella not forgiving Edward, there is instability in the relationship between the Cullens and Bella. The Volturi are always looking for any excuse to interfere in the Cullens' affairs. This unforgiving state of Bella could potentially give them a reason to step in, which would endanger not only Bella and the Cullens but also other characters who are associated with them.
Bella often becomes more confident in her relationship with Edward as his wife. She may be more assertive in making decisions for their future together.
One idea could be that they decide to take a break from the chaos in Forks and travel the world. During their travels, they meet other supernatural beings and learn about different cultures. This would not only deepen their bond but also expose Bella to more of the hidden world. It could also lead to some self - discovery for both of them, as they see how they fit into this larger supernatural universe outside of their small town.
Another direction could be that they focus on building a normal life within the vampire world. They might start a school for other vampires or hybrids, teaching them how to co - exist with humans. Edward could use his knowledge of music and literature, and Bella could share her experiences of being human - turned - vampire.
