In many Twilight fanfictions, Edward and Bella's relationship evolves to this point gradually. Their love is already so strong, but it could be something as simple as a special moment under the stars. They might be reminiscing about all they've been through, from the first time they met to all the dangerous situations they've faced. This shared history and the current moment of peace and closeness make them feel that they are ready to be more physically intimate. Their vampire - human relationship adds an extra layer of complexity and passion to this development.
It often starts with attraction. Edward is drawn to Bella's unique scent and her differentness. Bella, on the other hand, is intrigued by Edward's mysterious nature.
In this college fanfiction setting, their relationship could progress in an interesting way. Edward might be part of a music club and Bella could be drawn to his musical talent. This could be a starting point for them to bond. They would then start going on dates around the college campus, like picnics in the park on campus. As they attend more college events together, their relationship would deepen and become more serious.
It redefines it by making it unequal. Bella is in a position of being 'owned' in a sense, which is a huge change from their normal relationship where they are more like equals in love.
Their relationship often deepens. With the idea of having a baby, they become more connected on an even deeper emotional level. They start to see each other in new roles, as future parents.
One common theme is the exploration of the forbidden nature of their relationship. Since Edward is a vampire and Bella is human, their physical union can be seen as something that goes against the natural order in the Twilight universe, which adds a sense of danger and excitement.
They can also expand our view of their relationship. Fanfictions about nightmares might introduce new scenarios where their relationship is tested in ways not seen in the books. For example, a nightmare where Edward has to choose between Bella and his vampire family can show how complex their relationship is, as it involves different loyalties.
Well, it becomes more platonic. There's no romantic tension between them like in the original. Instead, there could be a sense of loyalty and family - based love.
In this fanfiction, the relationship between Bella and Edward is turned on its head. Bella's role is now to shape Edward's character from a young age. Their interactions will be less about the intense passion of the original story and more about the tender, sometimes difficult, bond between a mother and son. She might worry about his future, his choices, and his safety in a way that is very different from the love - based concerns in the original narrative.
Their relationship develops as Edward imparts his knowledge to Bella. Since he's her master, he has a certain authority. But as time passes, Bella might start to question some of his decisions, which adds tension and also deepens their relationship as they work through these issues.
At first, their relationship might be one of pity on Bella's part. She sees Edward as someone in need and wants to help. But as they spend more time together, old feelings start to resurface. Edward may be hesitant at first, being in a vulnerable homeless state, but Bella's kindness slowly breaks down his barriers.
