The one that sticks out at me is Ladder to the Sun by Rosebud.
How can you die when you've never really lived? That's the problem Bella Swan faces when she's told she only has a year to live. Can she make up for a lonely, unhappy life in the short time she has left... and maybe find love too?

It's been recced on here before. I do like this story, in fact I've read it more than once. Bella starts off a bit whiny and oppressed but grows some balls. Still can't escape the martyr side of her though. None the less, it's well written and I've read it more than once, I just don't know if it will assuage your Bella annoyance. 

There is another one I was thinking of too, where Bella has Leukaemia and I think it may be this one: Healing through Love by Butterfly Betty.
When Bella is diagnosed with leukaemia, she and her parents move from Phoenix to Forks in hopes that Dr. Carlisle Cullen can save her life. What she doesn't realize is they need her as much as she needs them.

If it is I've read it before and managed to get the whole way through without flicking it, this was a while ago though, so I can't say that I highly recommend it; I can't even remember if this is the right one!

Pity about the slash though, however I can see where you are coming from.

i have Ladder on my reading list already I'll start with that and see..

Also I want to know who I should virtually slap for sticking Merciless under my nose! I don't read WIPs, ever. But, what have I been doing since I got home this evening?!  Savanablue was it you? Come on, speak up! You...p.o.r.n star you!   

*steps up and shakes pom poms* It was meeeee!!!   

Is that fic awesome or what! Want more, nao   

Phew! I thought it was just me!! I legit was freaking out.

Love you bb  and I'm all good with virtual slapping *smirks*

I hope that was the reason... I thought the site was gone. I even googled it. I haven't read a cross over may have to check some out. I used to watch VD but lost interest when I dumped tv and starting downloading programs 

I am pissed though, someone is writing a Twi fic that is like Sons of Anarchy  I tried to read it but I was so "you aren't getting this right! That's not how the characters are!"  I flounced

Don't get me started on that fic  I'm pissed about the non updating

SoA is about a motorcycle gang. It's soooo good. It has Peggy Bundy in it

I don't subscribe to cable anymore, I download all my shows. They're usually ready the same night so I'm just a few hours behind. Way better, no commercials and most shows are 20 mins to 40 mins

Awesome

And once you start SoA you won't stop. It's at 5 seasons

Me too...so annoying. 

So who got me started on Tequila Sunrise by 2old4fanfic? Darn it! Grabbed by another WIP!  Well she seems to be updating regularly, fortunately.  It is very good so far. 

I know, right! *whispers* The women on here are evil....

I was looking in communities for sick Bellas earlier, wanting to see what's out there ya know and came across this

She has the SWINE?  Yeah, I'd say she's sick

So if she has the Swine, will she turn into a pig?? 

Or maybe there will be roast pig for dinner?   Well the Cullens are vegetarians...you'd think the blood of pig would have a slight bacon flavor, right?!?!
