Summary
“I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"
--
Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.

Summary
Voldemort intended the object to be used by his most loyal follower in the event that his horcruxes were destroyed, but it ended up in Hermione’s possession instead.
It sent her back to a time when he was much less the monster that she’d always known him to be. Nothing could have prepared her for the intelligence and charm of Tom Riddle.
He isn’t who she thought he was.
Hermione discovers that it’s a dark descent into the madness of the man she should hate, but can’t… a descent she will never emerge from.

A Pathologist's Guide to Getting a Date by dab_of_paint
Fandoms: Twilight Series - All Media Types

Summary
Isabella Marie Swan, 28, had long since grown up. The Cullens left her high and dry, and while she could certainly see how hormones had made her a raving maniac for a melodramatic teenage boy, she did not foresee how much it would rankle to be shown a world where she'd have had all the time in the world—and then be cut off.
It started with the search for a connection to the ones that left—a medical career, maybe a way to get a glimpse of at least Carlisle Cullen—but she quickly noticed what had really fascinated her all these years: Death—in all of its beautiful, terrible glory.
Hence, she became a forensic pathologist.
OR
Bella Swan is smitten with Death, slightly cynical, and finds it a giggle-worthy idea to move to Florence to work as a pathologist in the Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, a little more than a stone's throw away from one Volterra Castle.
That was - before she'd had to do four consecutive night shifts because someone was an idiot and didn't clean up after themselves.
Hence, she sent the Volturi a brain, since they obviously needed one.
Aro thinks she's flirting.

Summary
It's eight years after the war and Hermione Granger has taken a break from her career at the Ministry of Magic to compile an oral history of the conflict. She's interviewed just about everyone she can get her hands on but she wants to be thorough. And that means getting in contact with a very unwilling Lucius Malfoy.
- - - - -
"For your information, I'm not shopping it around yet because I still don’t have access to all of the sources I need.”
“You’ve got to be joking. You must have interviewed every living person that was even tangentially connected to the war.”
“Not everyone,” Hermione said, turning in her seat to reach up for the mug of tea she’d left on the kitchen counter.
“Who’s left? The trolley lady from the Hogwarts Express?”
“Your father.”
Malfoy opened his mouth and then closed it again with a click of his teeth, shaking his head. “You don’t want to do that, Granger.”

Summary
Six years ago, a teenage girl was left heartbroken and alone in the woods. But her fate had long since been decided, and revenge is a dish best served ice cold. Sometimes, you need to be lost in order to be found. Very much an Aro/Bella story.
Or
In which the now-24 year old Bella Swan is anonymously kidnapped from her mundane human life and delivered to the Volturi, only to find the answers to questions she’d never asked. Claimed, bitten and mated, Bella must now navigate her newfound immortality alongside a very mercurial vampire Master. And he just might be obsessed with her.

This story is dedicated to the incredible Lysandros_s, who's work 'The Coronation' inspired me to write this entire thing in the first place ♥️- Language:

Summary
After being so certain for so long that Bella was unconditionally, irrevocably in love with Edward, the absurdity of their romance comes crashing over her about the same moment she crashes into him, saving him from exposure and death by the Volturi.
But she still wants to be part of his world, still feels it's where she belongs, still knows it's where she would be happiest, where her heart would be most fulfilled. That only becomes that much clearer when she meets the closest thing vampires have to royalty.Series
