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.
Well, that could lead to all sorts of intense and unexpected plot twists. Maybe it would force the other characters to take drastic actions to rescue her.
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.
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.
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.
Bella may cope with Edward's abandonment by getting angry. Instead of just moping around, she could use her anger as a fuel. She might start to question Edward's motives more deeply. This could lead her to become more independent and less reliant on others for her happiness. She could also start writing in a journal, pouring out all her feelings, which would be a therapeutic way to deal with the pain.
Love is a very common theme. Bella's love for Edward is what drives her to save him. Another theme is self - discovery. As Bella tries to save Edward, she often discovers new things about herself, like hidden strength or courage. Also, sacrifice is there. She might have to sacrifice her own safety or comfort to rescue Edward.
Edward, the brooding vampire, and Bella, the kind - hearted human. In this fanfiction, they are the central focus. Edward has his own issues and inner turmoil related to his vampire nature and his love for Bella. Bella, on the other hand, has been pining for Edward during his absence.
Well, it could be that Edward returns to Forks after a long time away. Maybe he realizes he can't live without Bella. He shows up at her house, and they have a very emotional reunion. Bella is initially shocked but then overjoyed.
