⟨  –  lewis tan, cis man, he/him.  ⟩ it seems like demetri volturi has been seen around town, humming human by rag'n bone man under their breath. apparently they are a 36 / 1000 year old vampire. townsfolk whisper about them being charming and charismatic, but also manipulative and aggressive. they’re a member of the volturi, and they give off the vibes of the thrill of the chase, spinning compass, being hunted.

BIRTH NAME(S): Demetri Volturi PREFERRED NAME(S): Dem / only people he's close to NICKNAME(S): tbd. AGE: 36 | 3000+ PLACE OF BIRTH: England RESIDENCE: Volterra, Italy LANGUAGES KNOWN: Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French GENDER + PRONOUNS: cismale / he/him SEXUAL + ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: pansexual, panromantic SPECIES: vampire SPECIAL ABILITY: Tracking Sense

𝚃𝙸𝙴𝚂.

MATE: Chelsea

COVEN: The Volturi Coven

𝙷𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙾𝚁𝚈.

Demetri was born in the United Kingdom and transformed by the Egyptian Coven's leader Amun after dying in a hunting accident. When he was turned into a Vampire he and Amun grew close to be like family, and he helped him develop his tracking sense into the power that it has become now, where he is able to "track someone through the tenors of their mind"

He was discovered by the Volturi for this tracking sense, and when asked to join their coven as part of the Guard he was originally hell bent on declining the offer, wanting to remain free to do as he wished not bound to a coven to do its bidding, but within minutes of stepping into the Volturi's castle he met his mate, Chelsea, and he knew that he would never leave if it meant getting to be with her. It was a true mate bond and he can't imagine life without her. He joined the guard and soon became one of the higher ranking members of the guard for his skill and his connection to his mate.

Everything else about Demetri is pretty canon. He is used by the Volturi to track down their enemies and is often away travelling and tracking, but whenever his is back in the castle you won't find him very far from wherever Chelsea is.

𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽𝚂.

Definitely the big brother stereotypical figure of the Volturi guard, he jokes around a lot and uses his high position to his advantage, but he genuinely cares about the Volturi like his family and would do anything for anyone in his family.

Particularly close to Athenadora and sees her as his defacto confidante among the Volturi Kings/Queens so he does let her dote on him a bit.

Has a temper! Everyone on the guard knows it's easy for him to flip that switch and when he's annoyed the only person who can calm him down is Chelsea. - Also don't go after Chelsea because Dem would not hesitate to toss you out a window in pieces.

platonic!volturi queens letter for a young teenager around their teens?

Our Precious (Name),

You have no idea what your very existence means to my sister and I. Our own existence became nothing but stagnant and lifeless, even more so then we already were. Then you came along; an innocent little thing simply on a school trip to Volterra.

You were so free. So lively. Your mere presence reminded us both of our dear Didyme. Once we lost her, we also lost a part of ourselves as well. But you, you make us feel alive again. Alive and complete. We could not possibly bare the thought of parting with you, not after we regained so much of what was taken from us.

Aro and Caius were apprehensive and not accepting of the idea of keeping you, but my sister and I were allowed to be happy. We deserved that much after being forced away into hiding. But do not worry, we will not let them bring any harm to you.

No. You are ours after all. Our precious little Y/n.

Having been locked away has made us more impatient then usual, we must apologize for that. But we can not chance losing you, not like our late Didyme. Therefore, Sulpicia and I agreed to have you changed right away. We will see it through, beginning to end. And do not fret, the pain will subside soon enough.

Once you awaken we will be right by your side, for all eternity.

Yours Truly,

Athenadora

Could Marcus/Squishy happen? If you think it could, then how do you imagine it'd go down? And how would the other Volturi react to all this, specifically Aro, Caius, Sulpicia and Athenadora?

For reference, Squishy the tentacle monster and love guru. The surprising partner who ends up in your bed.

... I mean, the other name for this is The Less than Immaculate Conception. Bella may not be Squishy, but she is human and only the Denali and Edward sleep with humans. What does everyone do? Aro cries, Caius tries to be proud, and Sulpicia just wants to get high again.

But alright, Marcus and Squishy.

I mean, yes, yes he can.

Route One: Marcus Becomes Convinced He's Supposed to Sleep With Squishy

A tentacle monster shows up in Volterra. Marcus has no idea how this happened, he also doesn't really care. He figures this has no impact on his life. He figures wrong.

Somehow, thanks to some offhand comment that either Aro or Caius makes, Marcus becomes convinced he's expected to sleep with the tentacle monster.

This gets his attention, and he does a "Wait, what?" Marcus isn't thrilled by this state of affairs. He probably then outright asks Aro if this is a thing. For some reason, Aro doesn't take his hand/isn't listening and says, "yes, of course, we must appease Squishy."

Marcus has done a lot of things for the empire. A lot. He sequesters himself and asks if fucking a tentacle monster is any harder than the murder of thousands. It's not.

Marcus fucks the tentacle monster.

Aro forever despairs and asks himself if a) this is punishment for Didyme and b) why he didn't take Marcus' hand and clear up this misunderstanding.

Aro then covers it up.

No one must know.

(Depending if Carlisle's there, this may or may not ruin Carlisle's marriage to Esme.)

Route Two: Marcus' Depression is Cured

Aro acquires a tentacle monster named Squishy.

For some reason, the monster comes to rely in some manner upon Marcus. Perhaps it just likes Marcus best and will only speak with him. Regardless, it needs Marcus. This can serve as a catalyst to cure Marcus' depression.

Should Squishy then develop sexual feelings towards Marcus--he may have more pause than he did having sex with Bella but he might very well go for it.

The result?

Aro ends up covering it up.

No one must know.

(Depending if Carlisle's there, this may or may not ruin Carlisle's marriage to Esme.)

Hi!! I saw you do worldbuulding? What is your opinion on how the queens actually live?

Hello anon! I do in fact do worldbuilding, I try to keep it as close to canon as I can but I stray from smeyers more obvious problems at least in regards with the tribe.

Anyways on to the world building I hope you enjoy and don’t hesitate to send more I love these!

╔═════ ∘◦ ✾ ◦∘ ══════╗

The Queens and their Role in the Volturi

Interestingly enough I completely refute the fact they just sit all pretty in their tower (shocking I know). Imagine living for centuries and just being high? You would go insane. I strongly believe the queens are the smartest vampires in around. Constantly learning and perfecting new crafts. Not only that but they are the ones behind keeping the peace, often planning extravagant balls or galas that are quite literally breathtaking. It’s an excuse for everyone to have something to look forward to and helps the kings get more knowledge about any prospective members or potential troublemakers. They are constantly outdoing their previous party.

Contrary to what I believe is the popular consensus, I think most of the covens get along very well with the volturi the Romanians and some of the Cullens being the exception. The queens

Sulpicia

Sulpicia definitely does not keep to her towers. From what we do know about her Aro didn’t just turn her and say ‘you’re mine now kay?’ She’s a queen in every aspect both giving her advice and opinions and making sure the guard is being treated fairly. However she is known to be no none sense and will be quick to tell Aro to take care of certain guards she hears are not fit for the volturi.

Aro did find her with the intention of finding his mate. She impressed him by initially refusing to just blindly follow him. He enjoyed her fight and decided to actually try and win her over. If Aro is anything he’s extravagant and he made sure to gift her anything she could ever want. He would get frustrated when everything was returned the next time he saw her. Sulpicia told him she wasn’t easily bought. Also I can almost guarantee he asked Marcus and Didyme for help in this.

Afterwards is when he actually began his courtship. She was impressed with his mind and he loved reading hers both knowing when she offered her hand to him willingly on her last day as a human that she was ready to follow him. The Volturi were not always this huge coven so before they had recruited the guard Sulpicia and Aro had time to grow bonds to the other two couples. After Aros problem with Didyme he was never the same, she had to be the voice to tell him that he had to live with the consequences even if it meant it was for the hood of the coven.

Any prospective member of the volturi that did not pass the vibe check or were not cut out to be in the guard get a visit from the queens to try and make sure no one is about to become a potential enemy. Sulpicia will let Athenadora take the lead because as much as she believes in keeping the peace out of the women she’s definitely the more come se dice savage. She is no nonsense so if she believes you are wasting their time she won’t hesitate to tell you. But she does appreciate effort so if you just aren’t cut out for it as hard as you try she will be much nicer.

Athenadora

The angel of the castle. Athenadoras vast contrast to what is seen of Caius is shocking to everyone except the higher guard who is closest to the kings. People outside of the coven worry about her but in reality she’s seen sides of Caius that even his brothers have rarely if ever seen. She was there after his run in with the children of the moon and saw how it changed the man that used to be her rather gentle husband into a cold and more merciless man. The only time he now allowed himself to relax was around Athenadora and even then he is constantly worried something will take her away, especially after Didyme. She is his constant and calming force in the world.

Athenadora is great at really getting to know other vampires. While a lot of her fellow leaders believe in a much more black and white, right and wrong system she believes in things having a right and wrong. It’s why people are able to be spared or at least heard out. It was on her recommendation that Aro at least hear out the members in Hilda’s coven and how they came across Heidi. It’s also how Amun and Kebi were able to be spared and left to continue their lives. Her generosity is not always validated as seen with the Romanians that were originally spared. It wasn’t until they tried to regather more vampires to rise against the volturi again that their mates were punished.

While Sulpicia may be more focused on making sure the castle runs smoothly and uses her time to overlook the vampires that would like to join it is Arhenadora that focuses on reaching out and maintaining a good relationship with the other covens. That’s not to say she doesn’t talk to the guard if anything she tries to do so too much and gives poor Caius so much anxiety. She doubts herself much more now thanks to the Romanians so she will ask Sulpicia on her opinions more often than not on how the covens see them and if they should get Aro to intervene

These two ladies are a driving for e and a big factor in how the volturi operates. They don’t believe in being front and center and getting any kind of recognition and are instead in the background communicating and manipulating the outcomes that will best suit everyone. Their husbands make sure to let them know that as well and try to make sure they are only seen during events because as funny as they believe that rumor about them being stuck in the tower is, they realize it’s a needed rumor so no one tried to threaten the person closest to them. Without the queens, I really believe the Volturi would crack.

The Volturi Princess - A Felix Volturi x fem!Reader Story (part 1)

A/N: This is the first Volturi- and Twilight-related story I ever started writing and it is quite long and elaborated/complex, as I tend to overanalyze in many parts. I have wrote a few parts until now and I'll be uploading them in the future. I have been quite emotional throughout writing it, trying to understand the reader's point of view.

A/N 2: I'm sorry if something doesn't make sense. English is not my first language. I also include Italian through the story, with translation, but I'm not a native or a speaker, so I'd like to apologize in advance to those who speak Italian. Enjoy :)

A/N 3: According to "The Amagi" on Youtube, Felix was born in 250 BC (their thumbnail), so I used that in my story.

No of Words: about 5347

My heart felt heavy. I may have just escaped the cruelest vampire of all, but I also ran away from the love of my life, my mate, the only person who could fully understand me in this world. I asked him to run away with me, but, although our bond was strong, he felt obliged to stay loyal to his master, his creator. I drove as fast as I could, away from the sunny Volterra, and away from him.

-------------------------------------------------------

(Y/N) grew up quite privileged, in Vampire terms. Being born into the Volturi coven was something many vampires could only dream about. (Y/N) was abandoned by her parents when she was a baby, but Aro, one of the three Volturi leaders, took her under his protection, and offered her more things than she could ever have imagined. After all, she was his only biological granddaughter, the “Volturi princess”, an heiress to the throne; her mother lost that “privilege” when she met and fell in love with a wizard.

(Y/N)’s mother soon got pregnant with her, and then later turned her husband into a vampire to help her with her pregnancy, and stay together forever. However, (Y/N)’s parents couldn’t raise her because they wanted to run free and careless, not commit to anything permanent, so Aro took over and raised his granddaughter with the highest honors and privileges, “as a princess should be raised”.

(Y/N) was a mix of Vampire, Witch and Human, due to the grandmother, Sulpicia, being human when Aro found her; Sulpicia later fell pregnant with (Y/N)’s mother, and Aro transformed her to vampire, as he had planned all along. Aro raised (Y/N) according to his own rules and morals, teaching her how to kill humans to feed from, how to attack and slip away from her opponents, how to lead other vampires, and most importantly, how to keep her identity and existence a secret, not only to humans, but other non-Volturi vampires as well. No one could know that there was a possibility of a vampire having a child with a human, and that the child could be effectively controlled and raised as a regular vampire.

As (Y/N) grew older and older, reaching the human age of 25 within 7 years of her birth, Aro would spend more and more time with her, examining and studying her possibilities and her potential powers’ development. (Y/N) grew up to be extremely strong and fast, an excellent tracker with great intelligence and understanding of the world around her. However, Aro could not risk sending her to “Volturi duties”. She was his hope for a stronger coven; with (Y/N) in the throne, Aro felt like he could conquer the vampire world with ease.

That’s why he was always searching for the best guards he could find, to protect the coven and do his work instead of himself, Caius, or (Y/N). He couldn’t rely on Marcus, as he proved to be too emotional since Didyme died, but was still valuable for his plan. Caius, on the other hand, although powerless, was far more sadistic and “diligent” in following vampire rules, and (Y/N)... (Y/N) was just too obedient, following every order Aro gave her - a strong asset for the Volturi.

Aro was changing guards and trackers quite easily, disposing them when they were no longer needed or when he found better ones. He needed talented and strong vampires to serve the coven and do their work.

Chelsea was the very first vampire Aro created solely to serve the Volturi, after recognizing her potential when she was human. Chelsea’s gift of relationship manipulation was truly useful in bringing new vampires into the coven and was used thousands of times during Volturi's reign. It could also easily dispose of them, making their bonds with other vampires break at will; those vampires were isolated by the other vampires and then killed - Aro couldn’t risk letting them get away knowing the Volturi’s secrets and life.

About 100 years later, Corin joined the Volturi, just a couple decades after (Y/N)’s birth. Corin’s gift of addictive contentment was the one which kept Marcus in the Volturi after Didyme’s death - along with Chelsea’s to make him committed to Aro’s greater plans, and was also used on Sulpicia, Athenadora and any other vampire in the Volturi guard to keep them satisfied being in the Volturi. Under Aro’s instructions, Corin was keeping Chelsea content with being in the Volturi, and Chelsea was keeping Corin loyal to them, each of them using their gifts against each other, without their knowledge.

Sometime between 230 and 220 BC, while travelling in Rome, searching for additional vampires to add to the coven, Aro supposedly met a young, strong and ambitious fighter, who wished to become a gladiator one day, named Felix. Felix did not only look, but also was physically capable of fighting even with beasts, during his short time as a fighter, way before the Colosseum was built. Born into a poor family, his strength was his only way of making money, and becoming a gladiator was his only way out of poverty, a way to provide for both his family and himself.

When his family was almost imprisoned by Roman army officers for outstanding debts, Felix was forced to make a deal with them to fight, in whatever they ordered him to. Fighting turned out to be the only way for Felix to deal with his emotions and rage towards people in power. When Aro approached Felix, he was promised a good life, where he wouldn’t have to worry about surviving another day. Felix did not seem willing enough, not being fond of the idea of serving people in power, who he so despised.

Luckily for Aro, Chelsea was the one who “convinced” Felix to join the Volturi guard, with Aro changing him afterwards. Unlike previous guards, Felix showed impeccable strength, speed and talent towards both dodging and initiating attacks, eventually making him a permanent member in the Volturi Guard, along with Chelsea and Corin.

Felix was assigned as the leading guard for the three kings’ protection, this role extending to the protection of their two wives and (Y/N); though Aro knew that, if it came to anyone attacking his granddaughter, she would be able to handle it by herself. However, he still wanted to make sure that she was safe and that Aro would do anything to protect her.

For about a couple millennias, (Y/N) was content with her situation, being the “Volturi princess” and all that. Besides, having Felix in the Volturi was another reason to stay in the coven, apart from staying loyal and true to Aro for taking her in, when she was abandoned.

Every time Felix looked into her eyes, she felt her whole body burn - though, it wasn’t a feeling of suffering, rather a feeling of longing, waiting for something to happen so badly that her body couldn’t control itself. Although she was partially a vampire, (Y/N) would feel like she couldn’t breathe, like her legs were ready to give up on her, like she wanted to grab Felix and never let go.

Felix, although not admitting it even to himself, would feel the same way, but he knew that his position would not allow him to approach (Y/N) in such a way. He was just a guard - although he was the strongest of them all, and she was the Volturi princess, one of his masters, whom he was only allowed to approach in order to protect. He didn’t want Aro to know he saw his granddaughter like that; it could cost him his position in the guard, or even his life. So, he kept these feelings deep within him, not allowing them to resurface, or act upon them.

However, every time these two existed at the same place, the invisible sparks between them would fly left and right. And only one vampire was able to see them. One who hadn’t felt these sparks in centuries.

--------------------------------------------------------

(Y/N)’s POV:

I yawned loudly as I woke from a long, much needed sleep. I was the only vampire around who was able to sleep, mostly due to my non-vampire natures. I didn't really need to sleep on a regular basis, but when I did, I could literally sleep 3 days straight and nobody would be able to wake me up. “For my own protection”, as Aro said, I would always have at least two guards outside of my room’s door, in case anything happened while I was sleeping. Like what could even happen? My room was at the furthest side of this huge castle. I’m pretty sure that if there ever was an attack against the Volturi, it would most probably have been dealt with immediately, and the attacker wouldn’t make it anywhere near my room.

I felt the warm sun on my skin, slightly glowing and sparkling beautifully. My eyes, mostly (Y/E/C) with a golden ring around the pupil, could easily adjust to the light. Unlike the other vampires, I could easily live among humans; I could sleep, eat human food, my skin not being as sparkly as others, and I could control my thirst far better than others.

Since Jane and Alec joined the coven, Aro would show an immense interest in them and their skills, helping them train daily and develop their powers further, eventually forgetting about me. I would spend more and more days away from the castle, “protected” by my anonymity, getting to know humans more and more. The longer I was observing them, the more they would trigger my interest in them. They could feel true emotions, real pain, real hurt, real love. They had their families, they received an unconditional love that I could never have.

Unbeknownst to Aro or anyone else for that matter, I have started developing new powers, similar to the other vampires in the Volturi coven or anyone else outside of it. I have also started noticing that I may have an immunity towards others’ talents, feeling that neither Corin’s addictive contentment made me satisfied with being in the Volturi, nor Chelsea’s relationship manipulation could keep me loyal to Aro anymore. If it weren’t for Felix, or Demetri and the Twins, who have all become my best friends by now, I would have probably left.

A vampire named Carlisle Cullen had visited the Volturi and stayed with us for a while, about 100 years ago. He saw the way the Volturi treated humans like they were nothing, and how they were as cruel as to kill other vampires, with the excuse that they were exposing our kind with the way they lived. Entire covens had been wiped out due to such excuses, a way to eliminate potential enemies from becoming too powerful and find as many talented vampires as possible and force them to join the Volturi.

Carlisle was talking about a new way of life, where vampires wouldn’t have to kill humans to survive, a life where vampires and humans could live in peace, without harming each other. He was insisting that vampires could survive on animal blood just as efficiently as with human blood; that animal blood would not make them weaker, and that it would be a much more ethical and sustainable way to feed.

Of course, Aro and Caius were the first ones to mock his proposition, clearly not caring about humans’ feelings and pain. Marcus did not budge at all, his heartache making him indifferent to anything around him. But I was growing more and more interested in this alternative way of life; I was, after all, feeding on human food already, so that I was feeding on human blood as little as I could.

It was a few years after Carlisle left Volterra that Eleazar joined the Volturi. Aro forced him to join after finding out he could detect if someone had any special ability. Aro considered his gift useful in identifying if any of his enemies had any special power when in battles, or when he sent Eleazar around the world to recruit talented vampires.

Eleazar was clearly not liking the way the Volturi forced their ways and wants on others, and how they could take advantage of others for their own benefit. I could just sense that he was displeased and was forcing himself to stay in the coven, one, due to Corin’s and Chelsea’s gifts, and two, out of fear of what could happen to him and his mate, Carmen.

Carmen, a vampire from Spain, like Eleazar, met with Eleazar while he was a guard here, they fell in love, and eventually, Eleazar decided to leave the Volturi and run away with Carmen. Aro decided that he did not care about him and his gift as much as others’, so he let him go unharmed, “blessing” them for safe travels.

Just a few days before he left, I consulted him on my own powers. Though a lower member of the guard, Eleazar had his own room, a decent place to stay, and spend his endless hours in. I knocked slightly on the door.

“Come in”, a calm voice was heard. I opened the door and came into his room. Carmen was sitting on the edge of their bed and Eleazar was reading a book on his desk. They both smiled sweetly. I just felt and knew they were too nice to fit anywhere in here, among the cruel and strict Volturi.

“(Y/N)! So nice to see you!”Carmen exclaimed and stood to hug me. The second we hugged I started seeing parts of her life in Spain, the calm waters of Catalunya, the vast vineyards where she would spend the early years of her life… I quickly detached myself from her embrace. I just couldn’t invade her privacy like that. She and Eleazar both looked at me worried, as if I had offended them.

“I’m sorry. I just can’t let you “show” me your whole life like that!” I looked at Carmen apologetically.

“(Y/N), you saw Carmen’s life?” Eleazar continued, intrigued by my words.

“That’s why I came to talk to you. I..I feel like I’ve been developing a gift, or a few gifts, to be completely honest. And I feel like.. like I have a specific power one day, and another power the next!” I stated frantically.

It was the first time I have openly talked about my powers to anyone, and I was shaking just by the words that came out of my mouth. Eleazar did not say anything, he just stood there for a few minutes, I supposed “examining” me, as if a doctor checking on a patient.

“Remarkable.” He said calmly. He looked at his mate with excitement, as if he just discovered a lost treasure. “(Y/N) has one of the most remarkable gifts I have ever seen.” He then turned to me. “You, (Y/N), are able to copy anyone else’s gifts and keep them as your own. You don’t even have to be in contact with them. Just by meeting someone, you can obtain their powers. I have never met anyone like that. You also seem to have obtained immunity to others’ powers, kind of like a shield. I have met such vampires before. From the stories Aro has been telling, your mother was like that. It is likely that you copied that gift for her. Such vampires are extremely useful to themselves or even others, in battles. Like themselves, you can use your gift to protect others from others’ powers, beside yourself.”

That came too sudden to my ears. I have assumed that I may have at least one power, but I didn’t realise I could copy others’ powers. That is why I was showing signs of Aro’s power!

“How can I train my powers? Eleazar! Carmen! You have to help me!”

“As you know, we will be leaving soon. I don’t know if there will be enough time to train you.”

“It’s okay. We will train as much as you want. Please, Eleazar! Please, Carmen!” I started begging them. As if they were hypnotized, they quickly looked at each other and agreed to help me.

The next few days, before Eleazar and Carmen’s departure, included intense training, far away from Volterra, deep in the woods, where no human could interrupt us. I couldn’t say the same for vampires, but I hoped nobody would cross paths with us. Eleazar and Carmen helped me develop my self-control and self-awareness, concentrating through the deepest parts of my mind, resurfacing my shield and expanding it beyond my existence. I started to have control over it, as if it was an actual solid substance, a veil floating around me towards any direction I ordered it to go.

After Eleazar and Carmen left, I started travelling the world more, trying to copy as many powers as I could come across with, while also training my shield. My excitement for the endless possibilities was what kept me going - kind of when Aro would add another talented vampire to his Guard. His Guard. Felix. I wonder how he was. I hadn’t seen him in a while. I wondered if he thought of me like I thought of him.

After travelling pretty much anywhere I could reach, I eventually went back to where it all started: I went to Greece. Aro met Sulpicia here, apparently my mom met my dad here. Maybe I could find out, understand why they left me. I have never met them, but I felt as if my tracking skills could detect them through my own existence.

I started travelling through the country, hoping that they stayed here or, at least, that they’re alive. I spent about 2 or 3 years in Greece, trying to take in every different place, while also avoiding the battles that seemed to take place in every other corner. I was feeding off animals mainly, mostly when I couldn’t find any other human food. I was washing myself in rivers, streams, whatever I could find.

I was stopping by any village that seemed to be still standing, asking about the current situation. The Greek Revolution, which started a few years ago, seemed to still be going on. The Ottomans, who had been occupying Greece for almost 400 years, could not allow Greeks to turn against them and start claiming their rights within the Ottoman Empire.

Many Greeks I met and talked to, admitted that some of the Ottomans were actually being nice to them; it was only the Ottoman government ordering their armies to execute massive massacres against Greeks, and after all this time, a few Greeks started gathering up and planning a revolution, away from Greece, in fear of being caught. They started getting organized and finding possible allies to help them with the Revolution; they just couldn’t risk getting caught within the country that they were hoping the independent Greece could become. The battles were becoming more and more intense, both on the mainland, as well as on the islands.

I started looking for answers, anything that could suggest that my parents were still alive and somewhere in Greece. To my surprise, I crossed paths with many Greek nomad vampires all over the country. They were also fighting against either Ottoman vampires or each other for territorial claims; however, they all talked me out of travelling north, towards Macedonia. The region had started being reclaimed back by Greek humans, but vampires were also seeing the potential for the area and they fought against each other for the land.

All of the nomads I encountered were talking about some of the most vicious vampires claiming the land, their enemies being literally slaughtered and burned to set an example for other vampires to back off their territory. I was intrigued, and I knew that, most probably, I would be able to deal with them or flee before they got to me.

So, I started travelling north, through the woods and mountains, in order to avoid any possible battle between humans, though many of them seemed to hide in the mountains, preparing for their battles. Macedonia was a quite big and vast region, so I had to travel quite a few days and search every possible corner.

I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I was feeling exhausted from all the searching. I haven’t fed in quite some time, and my throat was burning by the familiar need for blood. I haven’t seen any animals all these days, and I was wondering if they were gone or hiding.

Sadly, I came across a human. He seemed to be wounded, probably during a battle, his blood gushing out of his body. I couldn’t help myself, when I breathed in the smell, the burning sensation becoming unbearable. I thought of approaching him slowly, so as not to scare him, offering to help him, but deep down I just wanted to feed off of him.

“Γειά! Συγνώμη αν σε τρόμαξα. Σε είδα από μακριά. Μπορώ να σε βοηθήσω με κάποιο τρόπο; (Hey! Sorry if I scared you. I saw you from afar. Can I help you in any way?)” I offered calmly.

The man was trying to suppress his growls. I could sense his pain. I tried to help him stand on his feet, and then I saw all of his memories. He was in the army, fighting alongside Greeks against the Ottomans, in Macedonia, just outside of Thessaloniki. I didn’t even know I was so close to a city, let alone Thessaloniki.

He was trying to pass through the woods, when he came across what seemed to be two red-eyed vampires, one male and one female. They tried to attack him, but someone else managed to shoot him first, forcing the two vampires to run away. I don’t know how or why, these two felt familiar to me, I could feel that through his memories.

“Γειά! Μπορείς.. Μπορείς να πας στο κοντινότερο χωριό; Νομίζω.. Νομίζω ότι είδα κάτι στο δάσος, δε νομίζω ότι ήταν κάτι φυσιολογικό! Πρέπει.. Πρέπει να προειδοποιήσω τους άλλους! (Hey! Can.. Can you get me to the nearest village? I think.. I think I saw something in the woods, I don’t think it was something normal! I have.. I have to warn the others!)” He mumbled in between sharp shoots of pain.

“Με συγχωρείς πολύ! (I’m really sorry!)” I plead with guilty eyes. I put my hand in his wound, searching for the bullet, while he was consumed by pain. I took the bullet out of the wound, and quickly attached my lips on his skin, sucking the blood as fast as I could, biting deeply unintentionally. His screams were becoming louder and louder, so I covered his mouth with my hand, while trying to shut him up or break his jaw. A few seconds later, he stopped screaming, and I let his lifeless body fall, completely numb and drained out of blood.

I felt renewed, his blood travelling to every part of my body and giving me a new kind of strength that I haven’t felt in a while. I still felt guilty for killing him, but he was already wounded and I couldn’t risk him exposing our kind to others. I assumed that whoever found him - if anyone found him - would also assume that he died of blood loss, so I tried to position him in a realistic pose for that purpose, as best as I could. I left him there, and continued the search for my parents.

--------------------------------------------------------

I was running through the woods, trying to locate the two vampires from the guy’s memories. My mind was chaotic, I wasn’t thinking about something specific. I stopped in my tracks. What Aro taught me, and what I understood from Demetri’s tracking skills, is that you have to stop, take a breath and realize your position in the world. Then, you would be able to realize everything around you and find your targets. I have successfully found other vampires like that before, vampires who I have either met in person or smelled their scent, but I didn’t know if I could find someone through someone else’s memories of them.

I took a deep breath and tried to concentrate as best as I could, focusing on the smaller details of the guy’s memories of these vampires. I felt two vampires running on my west, about 10 kilometers away, and I ran after them. They were running fast, but I was way faster. Within a minute or two, I was running right behind their tracks. They must have realized that a stranger was following them, but, instead of running, they suddenly stopped. I stopped as well, and we were now facing each other.

The female had long, brunette, curly hair, and the male short, dark brown, straight hair; both of their hair looked shiny, healthy, and rich. They were of average height and their eyes were piercing red, as if they also fed quite recently. The female was exceptionally beautiful and enchanting; I could only compare her to Heidi’s exceptional beauty. The male looked quite stoic and austere, though still beautiful.

Both of them on defensive positions, waiting for me to attack. I wasn’t planning to move any further from my position; I was only waiting for their own reactions. I felt that kind of a burning sensation within me again, like a feeling buried deep inside me, trying to find an escape.

Suddenly, the male growled at me, flames springing out of his hands, and being thrown at me. I felt my heart fall out of my chest, fearing that this would be my end. As if my body reacted on its own, I felt my own shield extending out of my body, building a wall around me and protecting me from the male’s attack. My hands started burning and flames came out, ready to counterattack the male. The male looked at the female, dumbfounded by what he witnessed, still in a defensive position, but ready to attack again.

“I’M NOT HERE TO FIGHT YOU!” I shouted at both of them. “I’M JUST SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE!”

The male shrinked back, the female following close by. “Who are you looking for? We haven’t seen you around. Who are you? Why are you here?” The male requested. His voice serious, but smooth at the same time; a voice I could only describe as the warm earth below their bare feet.

“No, I’m not. I come from Italy, though I think I was born around here. My name is (Y/N), I’m looking for my parents. I don’t quite remember what they look like, but I’m pretty sure that they lived around here. They abandoned me when I was a baby.”

“This has been our territory for almost 3 millennials! We would have known if any humans abandoned their offspring around here!” The female exclaimed, as if she didn’t believe a word I said. I didn’t want to tell them the whole story, but I had to show them that I didn’t mean to fight in any way.

“I never said they were humans. My mother was actually sort of a vampire, like you.”

The female started letting her guards down. “What do you mean sort of? I’ve never heard of a “sort of vampire” before!” She continued doubtfully.

“Believe me or don’t, my mother was born half vampire, half human. My dad wasn’t even a vampire before she met him. He wasn’t even human to be honest.” My eyes started stinging slightly. I could have had a good, happy life if they didn’t abandon me. I wouldn’t have to grow up with Aro.

“You said you were from Italy.” I nodded at the male, as he continued. “You never said where exactly.”

I wasn’t sure if I should tell them my real origin; I wouldn’t like them to know I was a Volturi, but I knew I needed help to find my parents. If they were actually here as long as they say, they might have known or met my parents at some point.

“Volterra. I was born here, in Greece, like my mother, but grew up in Volterra with my grandparents.” I looked down, kind of scared, kind of anxious, waiting for their next move.

The female gasped. “Are you a Volturi?!” I looked at her, straight in the eyes, swallowed, and nodded. “I know the Volturi. Who are your grandparents?”

“Aro and Sulpicia.” I answered so quietly that, if they weren’t vampires, they wouldn’t have heard me, my voice trembling slightly.

The female suddenly fell on her knees, the male wrapping his arms around her, comforting her. I didn’t know what was going on. Did I say something wrong? Were they scared? The sheer mention of the Volturi would scare a lot of vampires, but I thought that maybe these two seemed strong enough to deal with them.

The female started sobbing, no tears coming out of her red eyes, her body shaking. I felt something within me break. I felt that I didn’t want to upset them, that’s why I was hesitant in telling them who I really was. The male looked at me, pain in his eyes. I saw a familiar look. I saw me in his eyes, what I looked at in my mirror anytime I was thinking about my parents, or, sometimes, when I thought of Felix.

“Are you a half witch?” The male asked quietly. Something snapped in me. How would he know that?

“I swear, I didn’t do anything to your mate! I DIDN’T!” I shouted at the male. I didn’t want him to think that I would hurt his mate, or himself.

“I know you wouldn’t. It’s just..” He looked at his mate who had stopped sobbing, but was still down on her knees, unable to stand up. “..my mate is Aro and Sulpicia Volturi’s only daughter.”

My body tensed and shivered. If that woman is the only daughter Aro and Sulpicia ever had...could that mean..?

I took a few steps back. “AM I YOUR DAUGHTER? ARE YOU MY PARENTS?” I looked at them in disbelief.

Those were the people who abandoned me! That let me grow parentless, under Aro’s rules and directions! I was breathing heavily, in between sobs. I didn’t even realize that I set my whole body ablaze, until both vampires looked at me shocked. I didn’t feel any pain, but I couldn’t stop the flames licking my body, and in my frantic state, I started panicking even more.

The male started approaching me slowly, trying to not scare me away. “Shush, shush. You’re okay. You’re doing okay. I know how it feels at first. You’re experiencing some aspects of the life as a witch. It’s okay. Close your eyes and picture the flames in your head.” I closed my eyes and tried concentrating on the flames. “Now, imagine them burning out, becoming smaller and weaker.” I focused on the flames, imagining them weakening. After a few minutes, I felt them getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing. I opened my eyes slowly.

The female was standing next to the male, watching me carefully. In a quick motion, she pulled me and embraced me, stroking my hair lightly. I breathed in her scent, a mix of mountain flowers and the saltiness of the sea. Her touch was soft, and filled me up with what felt like a thousand different emotions.

But, I mostly felt safe. It was the first time in my life that I actually felt this safe. And whole. I felt like I actually belonged somewhere. I hugged her back. Tears started spilling from my eyes. That was my mom! That was actually my mom! After all this time, we were finally together. I felt the male, my dad, hugging both of us, and in that moment, I felt my legs giving up on me, and I finally fell into a long sleep.

Didyme, Part 2: Something, Something, Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Continuing from here, and we’re doing sub-parts for this bit. I’m genuinely surprised I had this much to say. (And fun fact, I almost lost the entire goddamn post, but fortunately I was copy-pasting into Word just in case. Not today, Satan.)

2.1. What Canon Tells Us

Didyme’s murder by Aro (and with Caius’ apparent assistance, either during or afterwards), is only mentioned on the page in Life and Death, the 10th Anniversary gender-swapped version of Twilight. Edythe/Edward mentions it briefly when discussing the painting of the leaders Carine/Carlisle brought back from Volterra, but it’s just background information with little narrative weight. I bring it up just to highlight Caius’ involvement and knowledge -- I’ll get back to that.

Now, here’s the “canon” backstory we have to work with. Per the illustrated guide, Didyme was Aro’s younger sister, and he turned her at some point after meeting Marcus, Caius, and Athenadora. Interestingly, the Guide doesn’t say anything about Aro returning to Didyme out of brotherly love; apparently he just wanted to see if she would have a powerful gift like his, only to be underwhelmed (”disappointed,” according to his Guide entry) by her actual ability -- she made people happy just by being around them. Then she and Marcus fell in love, sharing “the strongest romantic bond of any of the Volturi” (from Marcus’ Guide entry), and this prompted a suddenly very single Aro to seek out his own mate, Sulpicia. The Guide says Didyme “distracted” Marcus from Aro’s goals, and that the pair eventually made plans to split off on their own, leading Aro to murder Didyme so he could hold onto Marcus and his valuable gift. Although nothing written so far suggests that Aro even liked his sister, the Guide does state that Aro “truly loved her” and that his grief upon killing Didyme was genuine.

Apparently Caius’ role in all is was something Meyer thought up later, because none of the leaders’ Guide entries mention him being in on it. (You can’t see me, but I’m staring pointedly at Part One.)

2.2. Fuck Canon, Actually

(This just seemed like the funniest place for a cut. Continued below~)

I’ll be honest with you, person who’s persistent/unfortunate enough to still be here: very little about this murder scenario makes sense to me. I’m going to start with the “disappointing” nature of Didyme’s gift and that it was supposedly much less useful to Aro than Marcus’, because that’s just...stupid, frankly, and there’s no way Aro would have missed the inherent utility of Didyme’s gift. I don’t even have to read into anything to get this idea -- the Guide itself shows us how useful it is! It says right there in Marcus’ entry that Aro went off to turn Didyme, and returned with his sister, “along with the first members of the guard -- vampires who were drawn to Didyme’s aura of happiness.” That is a direct quote.

Just -- I practically shrieked when I read that. You’re telling me that Didyme’s gift was the stated reason their coven got its first subordinates, and I’m supposed to believe that Aro thought that was disappointing? Fuck off! Fuck off!! Even if Didyme’s happiness aura isn’t as powerful as Corin’s opium haze, well, Aro doesn’t have Corin yet, does he? He has every reason in the world to want to keep Didyme around, drawing other vampires to his cause -- even if most of those vampires aren’t gifted or skilled enough to join the guard, it’s still good PR.

At this early stage in the Volturi’s rise to power, it isn’t a good time to lose Didyme -- or any of his inner coven, really. Yet Aro apparently considered her disposable enough that he killed her. I can’t square this with what we know about Aro: that he’s still coherent despite holding god-knows how many people’s lives in his head; that he’s very intelligent; that he’s cunning, charming, and persuasive. Aro, once he learned they were thinking about leaving, would have tried to talk to Didyme and Marcus and done everything in his power to convince them to stay just a bit longer, until the Volturi’s position was more secure. And maybe he did; the timeline of all this is hazy, but nothing in the Guide suggests that Aro jumped straight to duplicity and murder. Clearly, though, whatever negotiations or arguments he presented failed. So what does their desire to leave the Volturi at this critical stage say about Didyme, or Marcus for that matter?

2.3. What It Says About Didyme and Marcus (Mostly Headcanon)

Brace yourself, because we’re into full headcanon territory now. To follow me, please refer to @therealvinelle ‘s meta about the larger mission of the Volturi and why they’re necessary, because I’m starting from the perspective that the Volturi are ultimately a force working in vampires’ and humans’ favor. While Meyer and the Guide would have you believe that Aro’s just power-hungry, actually looking at the impact of the Volturi and the benefits of enforcing secrecy shows that his broader vision isn’t just world domination, but establishing a world in which vampires and humans can both thrive and endure. There’s no way the rest of the inner coven was unaware of this goal; we know Aro talks a lot, so he’s certainly talked his coven’s ears off about this.

Now, we know very little about Marcus and what he was like before he was all dead inside. Based on what would be a logical balance of personalities, with Aro as lead decision-maker and Caius as ruthless enforcer, it seems likely that Marcus was originally the voice of reason and/or mercy. I also think Marcus would have had a strong sense of duty. The Guide says that Aro was the first friend Marcus had as a vampire, and I believe that Marcus cared about him very much and was committed to the Volturi. I think he would have been genuinely conflicted about leaving, especially considering the stabler, safer world the Volturi have been striving to build, and which they haven’t yet secured. Again, it’s a very bad time for any of the leadership to split off -- but in the end, Marcus and Didyme are going to do it anyway.

What for, though? Why leave? @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin has an interesting take on that question here: that Didyme saw that she and Marcus would be locked into the Volturi life and a thankless existence for eternity and tried to opt out while she still could. I like it a lot, it’s a great post and that scenario makes sense, but the tone of it feels...too forgiving. Maybe that’s because I’m evil. But the way I see it, given the magnitude of the Volturi’s mission, and its (at best) very tenuous grip on power at the time Marcus and Didyme plan to leave (they haven’t even defeated the Romanians yet), jeopardizing the entire operation so that they can pursue their romance unburdened strikes me as...well, fundamentally selfish on some level, so much that I find myself side-eyeing Didyme and Marcus for it. Although to be clear, it’s not the desire to live their own lives apart from the Volturi that I find selfish, just the timing of their departure.

Honestly, I’d like not to vilify another female character if I don’t have to. Given everything I’ve just said, I see Didyme in much the same way as I see Bella: not a bad person, but someone with definite selfish tendencies. At best, she’s likely short-sighted or naive if she doesn’t see how leaving the Volturi at this stage is fucking them over in a big way. However, I hesitate to read into the happiness aura as a straightforward indication of Didyme’s fundamental goodness; I think she probably was kind, charming, and delightful to be around, hence the nature of her gift -- but that capacity for selfishness is still there. (I’m certain Meyer wants us to take her gift as proof of Didyme’s goodness, to reinforce how evil Aro is for killing her...but I think I’ve made my disdain for what Meyer wants me to think pretty clear.)

2.4. MURDER MOST FOUL

I am not saying it was justifiable or okay for Aro to murder his sister. I’m really not. It’s actually better, from a character standpoint, that it isn’t okay -- that Aro has to carry this with him for the rest of his life while Marcus sits in the throne next to him, reduced to a husk, so that in effect Aro has lost them both after all. It’s got that Greek tragedy element @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin​ mentioned in her post. (Even better from that standpoint, the Guide implies that Aro found Chelsea relatively soon after killing Didyme, which compounds the tragedy.) I mean, it’s terrible, and it hurts me because I love Aro, but it’s compelling stuff.

What I am saying is, I can see how their insistence on leaving might have deeply hurt and offended him. And that brings me to my issue with the calculated murder scenario the Guide gives us -- I still think Didyme’s gift is too valuable for Aro to throw away by killing her in cold...venom (or whatever), even as the price for keeping Marcus in the fold. Plus, there’s the fact that Aro does love Didyme, and I imagine her gift makes it very difficult for people to think of harming her...when they’re calm, anyway.

Yeah, the only way I can really see the murder happening is if Aro killed Didyme in the heat of an argument about her leaving, possibly even by accident -- except you can’t accidentally kill a vampire, can you? It’s a very deliberate process wherein you have to dismember them and burn every piece, which also means it probably takes long enough that any irrational, overwhelming rage would wear off before you were done. But now that you’ve started....

I mean, at that point it would certainly be awkward to put your half-rubble sister back together, and Aro would be in a whole other load of shit even if he did. It’s possible, given what we’re told, that Aro could have lashed out and yanked Didyme’s head off before snapping out of it, only to realize that his sole option now is to finish the job. If he doesn’t kill Didyme now, she and Marcus won’t just leave, they’ll be sworn enemies of Aro from then on. And thanks to Didyme’s gift being the draw for a lot of the guard, and the inherently bad look of a leader who would brutally attack his own sister, a chunk of the guard would probably leave with them, destroying Aro’s plans. No, the only way to salvage it is to follow through.

Then Aro has to call in Caius for help with the cover-up, because it wasn’t actually planned and it’s just pure luck that no one walked in on the murder as it was happening.

And maybe Aro learns a hard lesson about learning to let people walk away, leaving the possibility open that they could be drawn in again. Because if Aro had just waited, he would have found Chelsea, and with her gift he could have had Marcus and Didyme back again.

Assuming everything didn’t fall apart as soon as they left, of course. But that’s a whole other what-if scenario.

...Now I want the tea on the cursed Volturi wives headcanon -- but if you'd rather avoid talking about that, do you have any headcanons relating to the wives? It's crazy to me that most of what we know about them is 'they live in the tower stoned out of their gourds.' Like...okay and? That's it?? Hello??

Ooop okay... I was like 50/50 on spilling the tea but I will! Obvs not pointing fingers, cos this is kinda an old “joke” in the fandom. But part of it was the whole “haha Aro locks his wife up cos he’s so gay for Carlisle so he has to mistreat her” which is hmm kinda homophobic? Wont talk about the rest but like... ik Smeyer wrote it pretty sexist but we really don’t need to listen to her!!

Tho legit I agree with u so much! Like she’s going to say that they’re just what? High 24/7 and don’t mind being basically imprisoned? Nah I hate that! Thank u sm for asking tho cos I will present my in depth but non-canon headcanons about the gals!

Athenadora - the actual oldest vampire in the world, older than caius by about 50 years. I imagine her to be from Aethopia (olde time Ethiopia) and which had very strong trade partnerships with Mycenaean Greece where Aro, Didyme and Caius are from! In my personal view she is very political and savvy and runs the Volturis relationships with the human world and their diplomatic relationships with vampires. She’s a lot more peaceful than caius but it’s very much an opposites attract thing. Despite their relationship they do both put the Volturi as a whole over the other, and they’re fully aware of that. Also she chose everyone’s Greco Roman names so they could kinda establish a “brand” cos those names are so bad for the time period they’re meant to be from. Her own name means beloved by Athena which she lives for cos she thinks the goddess of wisdom and war is very appropriate for herself.

Sulcipia- she’s the youngest member of the core 6, not physically but in vampire years and she feels the need to be extra involved to make up for the fact she wasn’t there at the beggining. She’s from Japan, (Yamato specifically cos I think she was turned around 200AD and it think it would be neat if she was from there), and she literally ran into aro when he was vibing around the world just picking up art and things. They did the whole hand touch and he realised she was a perfect new member to even out their numbers, so he explained the Volturi to her and she agreed immediately. She’s very creative and into art although she also has a ruthless streak and will “take care” of the vampires causing non illegal trouble. She always votes with Aro and him with her cos they are so on the same wavelength it’s slightly scary.

Didyme - okay this is where I’m very not following fanon but... yeah I think there’s more to Didyme than meets the eye. I honestly don’t think Marcus’ gift is important enough that Aro would kill Didyme to keep it so? What is the truth. I head canon Didyme as extremely charming and charismatic, traits excentuated by her gift. Half the Volturis original followers were there for her and she knew it. She was tried of playing second fiddle to her coven mates when she knew the power was pretty much just hers. I think she lied to Marcus and painted a picture of a happy life together knowing if they left the guard would follow and they could take down the others and rule. She did love him, but she loved power more. The world she wanted was very different to the Volturi think a cult of personality vs a goverment. Her death still hangs over the rest of the Volturi but it solidified their relationships and acted as a realisation of how far they were all willing to go!

[like-rain-or-confetti]

Ooo what would “Nightlights” Demetri do for Y/n’s birthday? And in the first couple months of Y/n living with the Volturi, how did Dem get her to trust him more and how did he calm her down from her nightmares? Ooo and when Demetri had to feed, did he have Y/n watch TV or play in her room with the door locked?

hehehe so it was actually kinda comical. A lot of effort would have been spared if the reader would have been speaking at the time but they weren’t having it which left the Volturi with nothing. It all started when they were trying to figure out what the reader likes to eat and doesn’t like. Then Demetri brought up the birthday scenario. Felix wondered if that was necessary - Birthdays aren’t a big thing in the Volturi. Demetri then had to explain to his very tall friend that human children do grow and are bigger than he thinks. That penny dropped slowly for Felix. It meant you were getting older and you only had so many left. That still left the problem that they didn’t know your birthday and you wouldn’t tell them. Aro took your hand discovering your favourite foods and other things but the birth date was still in question. Aro, Caius and Marcus were prepared to call it a day and determine your new birthday would be the day you got back to this castle. Although they said this in earshot of Athenadora and Sulpicia- both having different approaches to the same reaction. They might as well as kicked a puppy in Athenadora’s eyes because they may have just turned into monsters in her eyes. Sulpicia on the other hand said this. “You’re dumb.” The three leaders were shook by the statement and demanded she explained herself and once she did, they felt very silly. “You read the child’s mind for their preferred foods but didn’t think to do the same to find out when their birthday?” ...She’s right, we’re dumb. Next thing we know, Aro has the readers hand again and shifting through many many thoughts trying to get a hint of your birthday. The three succeeded in the end with minor bruises to the ego.

Cuddles! Lots and lots of cuddles! Some nights when they were particularly bad Demetri stayed with them all night into the break of sunrise. Alternatively, he’d wheel in a TV for the two to watch cartoons in bed. Whilst to him it was beyond silly and not very entertaining, he’d watch them forever to see that twinkle in the readers eyes as they watched.They’re imagination running wild with happier thoughts and not the negative ones. 

Any feeding meant that the reader would be locked in a room. It’d only be an hour at most but they couldn’t risk any wandering. Of course they let you watch TV and gave you things to occupy you so 8/10 you didn’t notice.

[captain-yeet]

Caius is a human fucker!? Cap i did not see that coming, but you right tho. The volturi in general being mortal shaggers (especially Felix and Demetri those superb thots) is legit a class headcanon, A+. (tbh i find the concept of vampire banter calling each other human fuckers in mock insult amusing)

Caius and Athenadora share humans like that one scene with Lady Gaga in the first episode of AHS: Hotel.

Volturi guards mocking other guards for banging a human by calling them "human fuckers?" Oh for sure! Most definitely. Imagine the banter.

Also..

Felix and Demetri are the CEOs of said human shagging shenanigans. You cannot convince me otherwise.

What do you think the Volturi Wives are like? Do they have hobbies? When do they even get to leave? Why did Aro bring them to Forks anyway? What even is their purpose in the narrative?

If I had just read the books and not written any fanfic I wouldn’t have any thoughts about the wives but stuff written in the guide about Sulpicia caught my interest: apparently Aro sought someone like her out and she matched his criteria, I see Sulpicia as being ambitious and cunning like Aro and they get along well together. I kind of imagine them like a royal marriage, or a political one like the Underwoods on House of Cards. There is some genuine affection there, sure, but it’s not the point. The point is power. She was the kind of partner Aro thought he needed to consolidate his position and the Volturi’s power and that mattered more than other considerations. But I think they understand and support each other, but it’s not necessarily a hearts-and-flowers thing. I’m personally just more into the idea of Royal Court Intrigue Volturi than domestic Volturi, but as always–you do you, and some of those domestic Volturi headcanons are super cute. 

We DO have a lot of questions about that tower though, do they really spend all their time in the tower, and how powerful is Corin’s power? How much of their confinement is really about their safety and how much was about consolidating even more power? I also see Sulpicia as a great patron in music and the arts. For some reason I picture her playing the harp? I don’t know if I saw that in a fanfic once or something? She amuses herself with affairs with members of the guard; Aro doesn’t mind and even kind of appreciates it. He likes how it keeps morale up, and is another thread of loyalty linking guard members to the Volturi. As such, she knows everyone’s secrets almost as thoroughly as Aro does, teasing out info from her lovers. We don’t have as many ideas about Athenadora, but I see her and Caius as having a somewhat more conventional marriage as they joined the Volturi as a couple. There weren’t dynastic/political considerations to the match. She and Sulpicia must be close and share in artistic pursuits if they spend all that time in the tower. In the very early days of the fandom, before the guide came out, there was this pervasive fanon that they Sulpicia and Athenodora were cousins in their human lives. I still don’t know where that came from, but I remember it, and it fed into that dynastic marriage/royal court idea.  Because then you had Marcus married to Aro’s sister and Aro and Caius married to a pair of cousins. Big Royalty Marriage Alliances Energy. 

Their purpose in the actual narrative is …  ??? I mean the point seemed to be to demonstrate just HOW screwed the Cullens and their friends were; the idea of “they’re all coming!! Even the wives!” was a big deal but since we never heard of the wives until that moment, it kind of fell flat. I think she was going for this idea that ALL the guards were coming so there was NO ONE left to ~protect the wives!!!!1!~ so the wives had to come too, oh noes!! But the whole locked in a tower for “protection” is so blech in the first place, and again we only hear of it now so it doesn’t have much impact. Honestly I was hoping that wives had some sort of kickass powers, or were even more ruthless than Aro/Caius and THAT’s why “even the wives are coming!!” was a big deal like. That maybe they’re so badass they only show up to preside over the very worst trials or something. But, alas, no.

( introduction )

penn badgley, cis male, he/him! that’s just aro - the twenty-nine / over three thousand year old vampire +  tactile telepathy who’s been in forks for a few days. they are part of the volturi, which fits their charming yet paranoid personality almost perfectly. 

the beginning of aro’s story has been lost to history, but what we do know is he was a young man who grew up in ancient greece with a younger sister who he loved dearly

he became a vampire shortly after his twenty-ninth birthday, and when he woke up with his creator gone, he was forced to teach himself everything, from how to restrain himself from massacring  entire towns, to how to use his power to his advantage

once he had his restraint, he formed the volturi with marcus, caius, and caius’ wife, athenadora.

having abandoned his family, and the sister he cared for, after his transformation, he returned years later to turn his sister with the hope that she would have a powerful as useful as his own. 

she did have a power, though not one he’d imagined, she had the ability to make people happy, which initially seemed like a blessing, but the longer they coexisted in the coven, he realized it was a curse that could spell the downfall of all of his hard work.

didyme married marcus, and things went as planned for awhile. as time went on though, aro couldn’t deny his jealousy over marcus and caius’ happiness, and he sought out to find himself a wife, which he found in the form of an orphan girl by the name of sulpicia

she wasn’t his mate, but she fit what he imagined his mate should be, and she filled the void in his life once his efforts to court her succeeded. he’s cared for her for centuries, though he’s always wondered what else was out there

whenever he caught wind that his sister was planning on leaving the coven, taking marcus with her, his love for her was pushed aside in favor of his love of the coven, and he did the unthinkable. he killed the sister he loved to save the coven he loved even more ( or so he thinks )

after the ‘death’ of his sister, he became the man he is today, associated with rules, balance, and control over the vampire community alongside his co-leaders, and the family he has formed in his coven over the years as he’s collected those with unique abilities and those who would be loyal to him. 

and that’s all i have for the moment! he’s been brought to town because as much as he values the secrecy of the community, he is a sucker for drama. plots are wide open honestly!! friends, enemies, people he’s trying to recruit to the volturi, maybe even someone who draws his eye away from his partner of over a millennium? possibilities are endless, and i’m so excited to get started!!!

In the “time-traveling Bella joins the Volturi” realm of questions, is Bella eating people, or, since she has memory of the Cullens, is she roughing it on the animal diet?

I imagine she tries roughing it on the animal diet for a good long while. The Cullens made such a large impression on her and Bella ultimately wants to be worthy of them. Eating people would be disappointing Hallucination Edward.

However, I don't think she lasts.

Aro, Marcus, Caius, Didyme, and Athenadora would think she's a lunatic and a crazy person and the nonsense Aro did to Carlisle he'd do to Bella. Bleeding humans in her vicinity when she's starving, bringing her tasty snacks, etc.

I think Bella would slip at one point, even with her control, and from there--well, there are no consequences to eating people and it's so normalized.

She'd end up on the people diet.

Do you actually think dat the Volturi leaders are misogynist? Did SM intend for them to look like that when she wrote Sulpicia and Athenadora? Or did she write that to show that all mates aren't the same, that power corrupts and such?

Sorry, it took me a while answering this but i am here now 😊As far as i know the Volturi leaders aren’t misogynist. It doesn’t make sense for them to be. I mean look at the coven members, the vampire who holds the coven together is a woman (Chelsea) and the most feared member of the coven is a little girl(Jane). So like i said it doesn’t make sense for the leaders to be misogynists.

Now for the second and third part of your ask. I don’t really know if SM intended to make the leaders look like they are misogynist or if she thought to just show that power can turn someone corrupt and even the person you love (not in Aro’s case) you will destroy to protect your power. of course Life and Death i heard was written ‘cause she felt bad for the wives condition but personally i would like to believe that SM is smart enough to knows how she writes her own characters and that if its misogyny she was intending for the leaders when it comes to their wives then it contradicts with the way she wrote the other female characters. I personally would like to believe that the reason for the wives confinement is due to the ‘power corrupts and destroys’ thing than misogyny.

if you look at how the entire situation is written it actually matches Aro’s and Caius’s character and their way of doing things (but especially Aro), Sulpicia and Athenadora could have been men and still be treated the same way as in canon (same with Didyme). Aro may have been the one who killed Didyme so he knows who can get to the wives. But he is also the one who everytime he touches Marcus’s hand can see the pain Marcus is suffering. And to Marcus the pain is as strong as the first time. I cannot imagine Aro taking risk and thinking that his wife would be safe and he wouldn’t go insane if something happened to her. He may know that he will not go insane but he cannot risk it. Aro has played out thousands of scenarios of how Sulpicia dies and brings about his and his covens downfall. And he cannot let that happen. Aro as a character is a paranoid creature and doing everything he can to protect himself and what he has created. His mate can be anyone but Aro’s fear of defeat will lead him to make sure said mate doesn’t have the power to bring his downfall. I can only imagine how much Aro is grateful that he did not choose Sulpicia out of love, but its still not enough for Aro to risk letting her roam free. Also the fact that he choose Sulpicia as his wife and not fall in love with her, probably made it easy for him to come to his decision to keep her imprisoned in her own home.

But more than that i feel Aro did what he did to make sure that he had all the control and decision making of the coven in his own hands. Caius’s hot temper makes Aro look benevolent and kind. Marcus doesn’t give a care about coven affairs. So in the end its Aro making all the decisions for the coven and he’s happy about it. If the wives participated in the decision making for the coven or giving judgement in trials, then there is always a chance that Athenadora and Caius will not agree with Aro. Sulpicia may be loyal and devoted to Aro but there may come a time when she doesn’t agree with him and what happens if Marcus decides that Aro’s decision is not so sound. These are scenarios Aro cannot let happen. So at the end of the day Aro is happy with the current arrangement. He gets to do anything he wants and no ones standing in his way.

Caius is a difficult character, he agrees with Aro when it comes to the wives situation, because he doesn’t want to go insane as well. But at the same time we are told he loves his wife. Its difficult to say where Caius stands when it comes to this. But i feel Aro is the mastermind always.

Sorry if this has gone way beyond your ask anon, i just have strong feelings about this.
