If I Were is a lovely little missing moment oneshot, set between Twilight and New Moon. It splits between BPOV and EPOV, and shows how each feels inadequate for the other. Bella is thinking of how she's simply human, and how she can't understand why Edward feels so much for her, because she's simply human. She wonders what would happen if she were a vampire.
Edward can't understand why Bella can love a monster like him. He wants to be human, to know what it's like to be totally dependant on others, to know what it's like to not be able to read minds, to have to eat, to drink, to sleep. He wants to know all this firsthand, not just hearing it from other's minds.
Justine Lark says that this story comes from the Beyoncé song, If I Were A Boy. You can see the longing in this story, just like the song. It's a truly remarkable piece.
