I am working on an EPOV outtake for Fandom Fights Tsunmai. Click on the link for information on how to donate to get the entire compilation, which will include this piece. I don't have anything to do with the compiliation or donations - I'm just a contributing writer. If you have questions, please direct them to the Fandom Fights Tsunami site.
The outtake is a portion of Unexpected Circumstances chapter 18, and it's titled Fearfully Rage. Here's a little teaser for it. If you recall from the original chapter, Edward has just lost the jousting tournament to Sir Riley, and he's not int he very best of moods. Isabella goes to him to see if he is all right.

God in Heaven…no.
My wife approached.
My beautiful, innocent wife.
Every time I looked at her, I wanted to drop to my knees. I wanted to worship every inch of her body with my hands and my mouth. I wanted to hold her against me and give her anything and everything she could possibly desire. I wanted to run my hands through her think, lustrous hair and taste the skin of her neck. She had exceeded every expectation I may have had for a wife and brought along with her traits I had not even considered long enough to desire. I had already come to want her at my side at all times, and not just in my bed at night. I wanted to be near her – to hear her laugh and speak my name – nearly every waking moment of the day.
But not now.
I could only barely focus enough to understand where I was and who was approaching me. Had it been anyone else – anyone – and I may not have even bothered to give warning before an attack.
“Get away from me!” I screamed at her…my Isabella…my beautiful wife...and it pained my heart to speak to her in such a way. But if she did not get away from me and quickly, I did not know what I might do. The thought was enough to bring me just a little further away from the dark, enclosed space in my head.
