LET'S DO THIS.
(This idea, by the way, was shamelessly stolen from
fated_addiction and her epic
RPF post of win.)
So, let's get straight to the point.
Comment to this entry with a drabble.
Here's the catch: it has to be centered around a non-canon ship (like
Alice/Edward, for instance), which is a relationship that could never, ever happen in the books

That how's this whole business got so tangled - she tried for so long, but it's hard to beat your own mind into submission, and he walked into the room too quickly for her to hide. She held his gaze - a valiant effort - until he left the room, no words passing between them.
Neither tries to avoid the natural progression after that one encounter - it's inevitable. Emmett goes on hunts, Bella visits the reservation, and the dance resumes, a graceful slide around each other, toward each other. Touches are ventured. Kisses are stolen. Marble skin is explored.
It's not easy, and both are torn apart inside by the thought of timing - they just had to wait until others were in the equations, until it's not only their hearts that are being gambled with. Neither is cold enough to let this fact go. If only they had seized the chance when it was given to them... but if only isn't good enough, and it never will be.
So the deception and dance continue, until a day they can step into the light together. Their greatest regret is that they have forced themselves to live in the shadows, but after all, what else can you expect from life as a vampire?

But Edward/Rosalie! And you wrote them so well.

I like this, because it shows that they actually do care about their previous significant others. It's nice to finally see that in an Ed/Rose fic, you know?

And yeah... well, I can see them not caring? But I also think an acknowledgment of their mutual status as taken needs to be included, at least part of the time.
