I’m gonna disagree slightly with the focus on the Cullens always being the core of quality. The best fanfiction I’ve read lately actually sidelines them almost completely. It’s the side characters from the Volturi who are carrying the most inventive plots. Aro, Caius, Marcus, and their guards like Demetri and Felix—when a writer gets their hands on that ancient, corrupt court system, the political machinations are just on another level.
You see a lot of ‘what if’ scenarios: what if the Cullens lost their trial, what if Bella was recruited instead of turned, what if the Volturi had a different agenda. These stories force characters to operate in a moral gray area that the main narrative avoids. Jane and Alec are another goldmine; fics exploring their twisted sibling bond and the psychological effects of their gifts from childhood are consistently more disturbing and thought-provoking than another rehash of the meadow scene. For me, that’s where the depth is.

Weirdly, I find the most reliably good fics are Charlie Swan centric. Not even joking. The man is a blank slate of paternal concern and police procedural potential. A well-written Charlie POV fic, whether it’s a crime thriller where he investigates the strange occurrences in Forks, or a quiet character study of a single dad realizing his daughter’s boyfriend is a century-old vampire, often has a grounded, emotional weight that the high-stakes supernatural stuff sometimes lacks. It’s a smaller pool, but the hit rate is astonishingly high.

Okay, so you're asking who pops up the most in the 'good' Twilight fics? That feels like it depends entirely on what corner of the fandom you're in. Over in the contemporary AU or human realism spaces, the core Cullen family—Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie—still gets heavy play, but they're often stripped of the vampirism entirely. The focus shifts to their dynamic as a found family dealing with trauma or running a business, which gives writers a lot to work with.
In the more classic supernatural romance category, it's absolutely Carlisle and Esme who dominate the well-written stuff. Authors use their established, stable relationship as a foundation to explore darker AUs or to provide a sane counterpoint to Bella and Edward's drama. A really common trope is a 'Carlisle adopts a newly-turned OC' story, which lets the writer delve into coven politics and historical world-building in a way the main series only hinted at. Jasper also gets a ton of nuanced attention for his backstory, way more than in the books.
Honestly, Leah Clearwater has carved out a massive niche for herself too, especially in fics that deconstruct the imprinting concept or center Indigenous perspectives. The 'good' stories there are often less about romance and more about anger, healing, and pack dynamics, which is a refreshing shift from Forks High School hallways.

The people I believed I could trust threw those comments at me, and they rang in my ears for years. My foes, my packmates, and my tormentors are Cassian and Kade. They turned every action I took into something improper and out of character, making my life a living misery. And perhaps I did believe them for a while.
But when I turn 19, everything is different. My abilities come to life, more potent and terrifying than I could have ever dreamed. All of a sudden, they are pulled to me as my destined partners rather than as adversaries.
The icy Alpha-in-waiting Cassian is troubled by the thought of his future. The vicious Beta Kade is constantly engaged in a game of control and domination. Then there is Alaric, the enigmatic outsider with a secret that has the potential to ruin us all.
Destiny created our unshakable bond, but I never wanted to be a pawn in someone else's game. I'm becoming more and more aware that nothing is as it seems. I am at the center of several mysteries that are deeply ingrained in the history of our pack.
It's this bond that I wish to resist. I want to despise everyone. However, there is no denying the draw between us. I feel like my heart and soul are breaking apart piece by piece with every touch and look.
As the full moon rises, I find myself standing on the edge of all my fears. Then I hear it—the one fact for which I could have been unprepared.
"Tonight, one of you will pass away."
Who will it be? Is it possible for me to halt it before it is too late?
"I'm not scared I'm just shocked." I tried to reassure him. He stared at me, studying me. Trying to see if there were any lies hanging in my words. He must've not expected this kind of reaction out of me.
"Come closer then," he suddenly asked.
"W-what? Why?"
"If you say that you're not scared you shouldn't have any trouble with approaching me." I looked at him suspiciously. Was this a trap? Would he completely devour me? I didn't have any problem with approaching him but I never know what kind of actions he might do.
"You're not gonna eat me alive aren't you?" He chuckled a little bit showing me that damn sexy smirk again.
"Come and find out."

Prince Rafe leans over me, holding himself up on one elbow as he gazes at my face. I feel his eyes wandering over every surface from my brow to my eyes, down my nose, to my lips and chin, and then returning to hold my gaze for a second. The small smile at the corner of his mouth makes me think he likes what he sees.
His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don’t jerk away from him. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why I’m here. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me—dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire’s hands on my body.

I live in a desolate village on the edge of the Vampire King’s lands. This used to be wolf shifter territory, but now, we are just trying to survive.
When I mess up and find myself in a culling, I know I’m dead. No wolf shifters ever survive these events.
And after the stunt I pulled in the middle of the village, Prince Rafe probably wants me dead.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing when a vampire looks at you like you’re a snack?
Something tells me, once I reach the castle, I’ll be missing my miserable existence in the village.
But then—it turns out I have no freaking idea who I even am, and when the royals start referring to me as Princess Ainslee, I realize my life is about to take a turn—for better or worse.
