Title: The Anticlimactic Non-Imprintment of Embry Call

Summary: "I'd accepted the fact that I was going to imprint just like my other brothers had. I'd been pretty much been waiting for it. Then one day, Sam goes and blows my mind: I might not imprint. So, I have to find a girlfriend all by myself? This sucks…"

This is the piece that will attempt to combat many of the major issues I have with Twilight. Nothing is sacred. Mid-BD AU.


Reccer's Notes: I really, really love this story. The tag "imprinting that doesn't erode the foundation of my soul" is awesome enough, and mostly this is an exploration of the ideas of imprinting. It goes from mid-late Breaking Dawn and continues beyond, setting up for the big fight scenes and epic showdowns that everyone was secretly (or not-so-secretly) hoping for. There's plenty of Native American mythology that is genuinely respected and used in an interesting way, not to mention that is has LGB and disabled characters, and an OFC who doesn't make me want to throttle things. Which are always good.

(Also, I'm not tagging for all of the characters because basically everyone makes an appearance. It's about the Wolfpack in general, though, so I'll roll with that.)

Title: To Catch A Monster
Author: afterandalasia
Artist: chosenfire28
Fandom(s): Twilight
Rating: R
Word Count: 10,622
Inspiration: Leah's incomparable awesomeness.
Warnings (skip) Graphic violence, character death, strong language. Discussion of imprinting, not taken to extreme lengths, which could be considered problematic.
Summary: Set a thief to catch a thief. To catch a monster...

Leah Clearwater knows that there are more dangerous things than her in the world than her, and she figures that it's her job to go out and fight them when humans can't. Then in one day, she gets in a fight, talks to a man, and meets a woman. Those aren't the sort of things that are usually exceptional, but this time they might just turn out to be. Perhaps it's time to remember that the word 'monster' was not always negative, and that there might be some hope still to come.

Disclaimer: Twilight is not mine, and I make no profit from this work.
Notes: This was actually produced for the werewolfbigbang, but it was done with this comm in mind. On that note, I really want to thank the mod and artist chosenfire28 and the last-minute beta Kitt who helped me with this.

Set a thief to catch a thief, the saying goes. It isn’t that old, in the way of things; perhaps three hundred years, perhaps four. There are some things that are far older.

The problem is, you see, that there are many dark things that walk the earth. Things that feed upon humans, directly or indirectly, that make men mad and tortured, that would destroy this world if given the change.

There are many monsters in this world.

Set a thief to catch a thief.

To catch a monster. . .
