#volturi squad

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

What if some beautiful day post BD Belka lost her gift? Honestly I would love to know what would happen at any point of the story should she do, but I won't burden you with a mile-long answer, so just the most interesting to me. Feel free to drop some other ideas if you feel like it!

Depends how early on.

Very Early in Twilight? Edward eats her. He assumes her silent thoughts were a fluke/he must have missed it that few times and finds himself face to face with a girl he'd label as vapid and far too interested in Edward's appearance in the manner Jessica Stanley is. The mystery of Bella is lessened, he can't project what he wishes onto her, which leaves him with only one door.

Later? He finds himself unwilling to admit that he's frustrated and disenchanted with Bella's thoughts now that he can hear them. Edward hates this about himself, as Bella's perfectly fine, and he can tell himself everything he believes is true, it's just--God, sometimes she thinks such petty things, or it turns out when she's staring out at the room nothing interesting is going on in her head, and she like everyone else thinks mundane unordinary thoughts. Bella, for her own part, becomes hyperaware and terrified that Edward now hears her every thought (even in moments like sleep when she can't control it) and is desperately trying to hide what she's thinking even from herself (which backfires as it only makes Edward more aware how uncomfortable she is with this). They end up doubling down, though, both believing they can only find happiness in one another, and ignoring the red signs.

Post Breaking Dawn? There's some concern that Bella won't be able to shield them from the Volturi if that ever comes up again but Edward isn't worried because it was never about Bella anyway. (Jasper is terrified as is Alice, but they can't get through to Bella and Edward that this is bad and may be the Volturi taking action against them/preparing to kill them all by shutting off Bella's gift). Indeed, I imagine Bella with her gift shut off is uh killed by a hit squad with Demetri in the very near future. However, before that point, Bella and Edward slowly realize that Bella having her shield down all the time, permanently, is actually a problem and neither like it. Bella doesn't like Edward hearing what she thinks all the time and Edward's not liking Bella's mounting frustration or the various thougths he doesn't like from her.

I imagine they start arguing without admitting what the problem is (as it can't actually be that Edward just doesn't like what Bella's thinking/Bella doesn't want her husband in her head all the time) and the family watches with wide eyes as Bella and Edward completely implode. An intervention is held which does not go well.

What the fuck Aro/Carlisle is such a disaster gay ship. Like I just read Bleach on the Brain for the Cullen trainwreck and then was hooked into the sequel for the ship drama. AND THEN NEBUCHADNEZZARS DREAM. How the fuck did you write a tragedy disguised as a romcom. Loved the Carlisle unreliable narration of being the only one to completely and unironically believe everyone was peaceful friends post-canon. THE VOLTURI SENT THEIR STRONGEST HIT SQUAD and Carlisle "hello friends!" hard enough that the volturi forgot for a moment that the cullens Were A Threat costing them everything. Aro/Carlisle as a ship is so intriguing because neither of them would intellectually implode their lives for the other but if a disaster happens they immediately start reenacting the gasoline scene from zoolander. How dare you inflict this high quality rarepair on me.

I'm crying, I replied to this already. The tumblr app is garbage.

Here goes (again): This is one of the best asks this blog has received and I love you for it. Nail on the head with why Aro/Carlisle is the best ship, so glad you now share in the brainrot.

Hi! I'm so excited that you are back and feeling better! I know I should really be more precise but I absolutely love Twilight and Skulduggery Pleasant agere content but there is barely any. I absolutely adore how you write and the storylines in all of your stories. So if you would like to write some headcannons or anything on either of these fandoms I would be absolutely extatic!!!

Thank you so much!!! I am going to take this as a broad prompt of 'thoughts about age regression in these fandoms' and you have permission to send in a more specific headcanon request if you'd like (even though requests are closed).

I feel like my Twilight thoughts are very unspecific:

I love the Cullen kids as both regressors and caregivers, I prefer to write them in separate universes but both sides are so fun. Carlisle and Esme are 100% caregiver energy, there's no other explanation for them adopting the others. They're only five years apart physically!!

Caregiver!Volturi do have a special place in my heart but that's just because I love the way that Aro shows emotions with his whole body in the movies, I think it is so neat. Also, evil babies club needs evil vampire caregivers!!

I also want to give Bella all of the regression rights, she spent her whole childhood taking care of her mother and she deserves that time back!!! (personally, I favour Charlie, Alice, or Carlisle as her caregiver)

Meanwhile, for Skulduggery Pleasant...

I already wrote out some of my feelings about cg!Skul and regressor!Val in this post but I love it so much.

Regressor Valkyrie is in my heart and soul. It just makes sense.

Caregiver Tanith is also just *chef's kiss* perfection I have no notes she would absolutely scoop up a regressor like no one's business

Clarabelle is 100% a regressor and you cannot tell when she is regressing because she is just That Chaotic. I really like her with the zombie squad just being Babey, I think Thrasher would be an amazing caregiver

On the Dead Men:

Ghastly and Skulduggery 100% caregivers, I love them so much. I would headcanon Anton as a flip, who involuntarily regresses. Saracen 100% regressor, needs sooo much attention. Dexter Vex could go either way for me. Hopeless I personally like as a regressor, I know we don't have much on him but it's just a personal headcanon. I think I'd put Erskine as a regressor just for a little extra drama to some later plot twists.

Finbar Wrong would be the most chaotic caregiver but he absolutely would scoop a regressor in distress off the street and give them some badly burned cookies.

Okay, this one is controversial but hear me out: China Sorrows... age regressor. She had such a traumatic and controlled childhood, and she still holds herself to such an impossibly high standard, I think she should be a little kid and ride horses and maybe even get muddy. I would love to see Skul as her cg because I have a soft spot for the two of them but also I think she'd be okay on her own. Or as a development to her rivalry with Tanith???? Tasty.

There are So Many Skulduggery Pleasant Characters but these are some of my personal favourite headcanons!!

[real-time-twilight]

So, I'm listening to episode 42 of @threebooksoneplot and @volturialice says that Alice (and really Edward) going to Volterra, meeting Aro and Aro finding out about their powers leads to the events of Breaking Dawn.

This got me thinking: how does the story go of Edward never went to the Volturi?

So let's say the mix up doesn't happen, Alice calls the fam and tells them it's okay, Bella's alive, false alarm. Edward eventually comes back, Eclipse still happens but the Volturi aren't aiding and abetting because they don't know that Alice and Edward are subjects of interest. Perhaps they even take out Victoria's army themselves. But none of the leaders are there personally. This would potentially lead to the Volturi squad finding out about Bella, and Jane Obviously isn't hesitant about meting out punishment. She probably would have attempted to kill Bella, which would lead to a fight and the Cullens likely reduced and/or now fugitives from the law.

If Alice steps forward like she does in New Moon, Jane MIGHT be convinced enough (possibly with Alec's intercession) to report back and either drag the Cullens to Italy or have Aro come there personally.

We get the same end result as New Moon.

If the Cullens somehow manage to hide Bella's involvement and pass Victoria's campaign against them as a simple vendetta over her overly aggressive mate being killed in a territorial dispute (perhaps James didn't take kindly to being asked not to hunt near forks?) And the Volturi squad are satisfied with that, then things proceed into Breaking Dawn per usual.

Edward and Bella get married. They fuck. Bella still gets pregnant. Laurent is still dead, Irina is still bitter and decides to come and apologise. She still sees Renesmee, she still reports it to the Volturi.

Probably Aro goes personally, likely with Caius because he loves to set people on fire, but this is a more legitimate mission of justice because he doesn't know about Alice and Edward, but he sure as hell finds out then.

The ending is still essentially the same.

The Midnight of Despair | Volturi Kings x fem!reader | Part 3

I reckon, that if you’re reading Part 3, then you know two previous ones. In case you didn’t read them yet: Part 1 | Part 2

Thank you for all warm words and praise! It means world to me. 

I also love this series, folks! I need to admit, I did get addicted to it a little, so I thought it’d be great to set updates schedule. It won’t be precise, but you can expect another part roughly in two weeks time from now. 

As per usual, sorry for any confusion and grammatical mistakes. 

Warnings: Rape (mentioned), Depression, PTSD, Forced Pregnancy, Blood

Word count: 6200

No summary this time. Also, this one has very sweet parts in it!!!

ENJOY!

The next day, you had your appointment with the doctor. A doctor was apparently a woman and you were sure the kings were paying her something extra for the visit to be immediate. Unfortunately, she didn’t know any English, as she was a local gynaecologist. Your mates didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable in any way, so before the visit, Aro asked you, who you’d like to be the translator for you.

The ideal situation would be a woman, but you didn’t trust anyone in the castle, except the kings. For this reason, your first shot was Aro, as he had already seen your memories. There was nothing that would shock him, you also didn’t need to hide anything from him and you knew, he was the best at dealing with others. You figured it’d be an ideal solution and you had to admit to yourself that you simply wanted him to accompany you.

The whole visit took place in your room, which meant a lot of carrying the necessary equipment, but more mental comfort for you. In those two days, you managed to get quite settled in and didn't want to leave the castle. You felt safe and secured in your suite. Kings seemed to notice that, as it was Marcus, who proposed, it would be a great idea to have an appointment without the need of leaving your room.

While you both were waiting for the doctor to come, it was the first time you had seen Aro with brown eyes. He looked really out of place. You shared this thought with him, by saying you prefer when his eyes are normal. That’s what it took. Two days, to consider red eyes normal. As usual, he was polite and revealed to you that he also hated the colour, let alone the lenses.

When the doctor finally arrived, you were already a nervous wreck. Aro tried to distract you, asking questions mainly about your house in Forks and whether you had already spoken to Bella about family heirlooms. He succeeded for a while, but it couldn't last forever, could it?

The lady was extremely kind and gentle. The truth was, it was hard to hide how stressed you were about this visit. You didn't want anyone to touch you, not when you weren't ready, and this time you definitely weren't. Despite the doctor's initial efforts, you were unable to shake her hand in greeting. She only smiled sadly, as if understanding perfectly what you were going through. Aro assured you beforehand, for he had not told her anything and only if you wanted to, you should share your trauma with her.

The doctor, seeing your nervousness, decided that you should talk first. While she asked you questions, you noticed that she chose her words carefully and only then did you realise that she was also stressed, but in her case it was probably Aro's presence that made her uncomfortable. Although Aro tried not to impose his presence on her, you understood why it might overwhelm the doctor. You felt confident being in the same room with Aro, while she probably sensed danger, even if she could not rationally explain it to herself. You promised yourself that you would try to learn at least the basics of Italian before the next visit.

She needed to ask you about exactly everything since, unfortunately, you didn't have any medical records with you - neither from the obduction, nor from the subsequent visit to the doctor, where you confirmed the pregnancy. You made a mental note to tell Bella about it, so she could send your documents, along with the things she was supposed to take from your house.

Aro was great in his translator role. Of course, you were still looking at the doctor, while answering the questions, but Aro’s voice, at least, soothed your shattered nerves just a little bit. When the questions started to get more complicated or more intimate, Aro used such words as to not make you feel uncomfortable, while still conveying the meaning.  The more difficult part started, when you had to describe the situation from the hospital and how long it took for the bleeding to stop. Every word seemed linked to a particular image or smell from that night, until finally, you were unable to say anything at all.

The doctor was very understanding, probably having already guessed what exactly was your weird behaviour all about. You didn't say anything directly, you only described the situation from the hospital and then told her the details of this strange bleeding after the rape. Mainly because the doctor was very concerned about it. She explained to you that it was definitely not normal, even if you had wounds inside.

The worst part, however, was the examination. You didn't even want to think about whether you would have to undress, but it turned out to be unnecessary. The doctor had a great intuition, even if she herself was under a bit of stress. You told her that, indeed, you had been to the check-up before and that was how you found out you were pregnant. And that the doctor then checked if all the wounds had healed. The lady didn’t discuss the issue, for which you were very grateful.

After the interview, the doctor told you to lie down on the bed and only pull your blouse up, high enough for your belly to be visible. You didn't feel comfortable with this, but you preferred this way to undressing from the waist down. This was the first time you didn't feel comfortable lying on that bed. You knew that once the visit was over, everything would return to normal, but it wasn’t meant to become a memory you would return to with pleasure.

As it turned out, your first trimester was long over. The pregnancy was about 14 weeks old and that would explain the slight curving of your belly. Before the appointment, you were not sure if you would even look at the monitor to see the baby, but you did. You could not deny yourself this. The room fell silent and you could not tell what you were feeling.

The doctor pulled out some kind of a strange device and after a moment, you could hear the baby's heart. You glanced in the direction of Aro, who was obviously alarmed by your face. You grimaced, too overwhelmed to say anything to him. Up until this point, you were sure that the decision, if you should terminate the pregnancy or not, would be fairly easy. Now, you were certain that nothing in your life could be simple enough.

 *

 Over the next few weeks, your day usually looked the same or similar, yet you managed to do something completely different every day. You were glad you had so much to do, because you didn't have time to think about what had happened. You didn't want to analyse it over and over again. The kings respected your choice - unless you yourself mentioned the traumatic events, not a single insinuation or implication about it fell from their lips.

Your days were filled with various activities. Every day you spent at least some time with each king in private - you knew you needed this to create and strengthen your bond. To keep you from being inundated with information, you learned something new from each of them about vampires and their lifestyle. After all, it was supposed to become your lifestyle in the nearest future. You discovered that thinking about your transformation caused you far less anxiety, than any memory associated with rape. Even after you learned that it more or less consisted of burning alive for a few days.

During your time with the kings, you tried not to show the insecurity you had acquired about your body, and yet, you were sure they knew anyway. However, the time spent with them was what you treasured most. With each of them you did something different, as you wanted to know what they like to do in their free time. Marcus, as he had promised on the first day, taught you Italian for two hours every day. It was not easy, but after a few weeks of intensive course and communicating in broken Italian, not only with Marcus, but also with the other two, you were able to maintain basic conversation.

Marcus was a great teacher, but that wasn’t the only reason why you loved spending time with him. He was the one who had the most time for you - he wasn't as busy as Aro or Caius, and besides, he had countless amounts of patience. He wasn't tired of your constant questions, not only about vampirism, but also about his past. You would often sit for hours in the library or in the gardens, which, by the way, were breathtaking. You both loved books and your only regret was that you weren't able to read most of their vast collection. Marcus assured you, you would have all eternity to do so. You could talk with him endlessly, as these conversations were truly effortless – even the most difficult topics seemed simple and uncomplicated.

You were surprised to learn about a gift of his. Your human mind was unable to comprehend it in the full sense of the word. Mostly because of this, he was the one to explain to you, what your bond even was and how exactly it worked. You have learned that after your transformation, you will feel the bond even more strongly. It is not often that one person has as many as three matches and is able to feel the bond while being human. Marcus explained to you that for now, both your mind and body are only subconsciously sensing the presence of the mates, as it’s impossible for human senses to do anything else.

It was so remarkable to you that you discussed it for hours. You also learned that the bond can be broken, as it is not forced in any way. However, this would be emotionally painful and very few vampires would choose to take such a desperate step.

One afternoon you were spending time in the garden again. You loved being outdoors, but for your own safety you did not go outside the castle grounds. Together, you decided that it would be safer to do only after your transformation. Besides, you didn't want to go anywhere. You were safe under the watchful eye of your mates and Renata, who, apart from the time spent with the kings and in your room, followed you in a constant manner.

The gardens were gorgeous and you wondered, who was taking care of all those magnificent flowers. You were strongly convinced that this was exactly what Eden might have looked like. You and Marcus had your favourite bench. You spent a lot of time outside, especially on sunny days. When you first found out why sitting in the sun might be a problem, you couldn't take your eyes off Marcus. He shimmered brilliantly, but your eyesight couldn't stand it for too long, because of the blinding effect. The gardens, however, were fenced off and inaccessible to the common passer-by, so you were safe to stay, as long as you wanted to.

“I asked Aro recently, if vampires can be killed in some way,” you began cautiously, not wanting to scare him away from this conversation. No one had talked to you about it, however, it still crossed your mind what state Marcus was in when you first saw him. You were willing to swear you looked exactly the same after your mother died. Now, knowing what all the mating bond was about, you were convinced that Marcus had lost someone dear to his heart.

As per usual, he smiled gently at you.

“I'm sure his answer was sufficient, my dear. What are you aiming at?” he asked, looking at you obliquely.

You took his hand in yours. With Marcus, physical contact was as easy as a conversation. He, however, never initiated any touch. He waited for you, just like he was waiting now, to reach for his hand or gently grasp his arm. The only movement he allowed himself was to stroke your hair every now and then, but only when he was absolutely sure you were willing.

“I wanted to ask what happens to the bond, when the vampire…is no longer here,” you said bluntly, not taking your eyes off him. Your understanding was unique. Marcus was gentle in manner, patient and extremely caring towards you. In no way did you want to ruin, what you had built over those few weeks.

His smile turned into one of the saddest you've seen on his face. By the time he answered, you regretted asking at all. You didn't want to cause him pain. You squeezed his fingers in your palm.

“Until you came to Volterra, I was sure that a vampire could only experience this special, unique bond once in a lifetime. I did experience it, yet this story does not have a happy ending,” he said, with utmost sadness in his voice.

Your heart ached, as you watched his suffering and grief. You had asked the question unnecessarily, but now there was no turning back. You continued to stroke his fingers, holding his hand securely in yours.

“When one of the vampires connected by mating bond dies, it does not mean that the bond disappears. It exists, but only on one side. It cannot be cherished, it cannot be repaired in any way. It isn’t reciprocated. What remains are the memories, and they are the only reminder of what the bond really meant, when it existed,” he explained in a distressed voice, slowly and carefully.

Holding his hand, you laid your head on his shoulder and sighed heavily.

“I'm so sorry this happened to you,” you whispered after a moment, feeling tears stinging under your eyelids. Even now, you couldn't imagine losing any of them and you couldn't possibly envision the amount of pain Marcus had gone through.

He embraced you carefully and gently hugged you to his side.

"Don't fret over it, cara. I've made my peace with it. However, that doesn't mean I've forgotten. I still miss her, after all these years," he said with longing in his voice, stroking your shoulder gently.

After a long moment of silence, you were in a genuinely poor condition. Tears dripped down your cheeks and your breathing quickened. Not only because of the pain Marcus must have gone through, but also because of your own yearning. You had come to terms with the death of your parents, but you missed them so much. You wanted to have them at least a little longer. Now, standing on the verge of immortality, you wished you had spent more time with them.

Marcus placed a kiss on your hair.

“Sob it out, dear. Nothing helps the soul more than honest tears,” he whispered, and you were ashamed, because you should be the one providing comfort for him. However, the memories were too fresh and you couldn't hold it back.

Once you had calmed down a bit, he handed you a handkerchief to wipe away your tears.

“I wish I could change my memories. Even if it was only for a brief moment to be able to forget that I will never see them again. To be able to forget what this…this monster did to me,” you whispered, snuggling tighter into his shoulder.

You heard his sigh and his embrace around your shoulder tightened.

“You have been terribly abused, cara. No one deserves such a fate. The most important thing now, is to get on with life. Our loved ones would not want us to dwell on their deaths,” he said, as wise and thoughtful, as ever. The hatred towards your abuser was palpable in Marcus’s voice.

“You are so good to me. I don't deserve this,” you whispered after a while, your voice swollen with emotion. He only smiled indulgently.

“You deserve the very best, dear. I've already lost one mate. I won't let anyone hurt you.”

“I’m sure she would be proud of you,” you said with compassion, after another moment of silence.

“I’m not quite certain about that,” he said, placing another kiss on the top of your head.

But you were sure. You were also sure, you would do anything to prevent Marcus from experiencing something like this again. You knew all too well the taste of grief.

 *

 You truly had little time to think about the rape and pregnancy at all. If you weren’t with Marcus, it was Caius who loved to kidnap you, so he could spent some private time with you. Caius was the complete opposite of Marcus – absolute chaos, you could say. You had no idea how the brothers even got along. You had already noticed that Marcus rarely spoke, while Caius was rather impulsive and liked to discuss things in detail. However, until you started spending time alone, you had no idea what he was really passionate about.

It turned out that his greatest passion was art. He would show you countless paintings he himself had painted throughout the centuries. He could talk for hours about types of paint and how to mix colours properly. Although you were not very good at painting, you tried to learn a little with Caius’ help. When he was alone with you, he was still abrupt and impulsive, but in a charming way. He never imposed himself on you and you discovered that annoying him was really great fun. So banter and frequent teasing were the order of the day.

You often spent afternoons and evenings with Caius. He taught you how to paint, but not only. Art history was his passion and you loved to listen to him tell stories. His voice was mesmerising and hypnotic. He also eagerly answered all your questions about vampire race. You listened about the horrible children of the moon and how Caius singlehandedly had almost slaughtered them all. He warned you that after the transformation you would be violent and impulsive, that you would have nothing on your mind but to satisfy your thirst. This frightened you slightly, but at times when things got weird or dangerous, Caius assured you that you would always have full support of your mates. You never doubted that. You knew they would help you to grow accustomed to your new life.

Caius loved every variety of art you could name. When he asked you for permission to sculpt you, you were so surprised that you made a strange sound. He said that, of course, he wasn't going to overstep your boundaries and you yourself would choose some beautiful casual attire, so he could portray your beauty in sculpture. All you had to do was dress once as he asked and stand in the right pose. He remembered every detail of your posture, including your facial expressions. Often, he would sculpt you, while you would talk about insignificant things also learning how to sculpt...well, things that didn't resemble anything. Yet, you wanted to be as good as he was.

You were in your nineteenth week, when he invited you for a long painting session. His studio was huge and consisted of nothing but breathtaking works of art. You were decorating some random sculpture that you had never seen before. Caius also loved contemporary art, so you could go wild. Taking classes with him was better, than any therapy. You could smear paint on everything - the canvas, the sculptures, yourself, and even him, because he was usually in a good mood and you could enjoy it. He never showed you even a trace of anger, and you, fooling around with him like that, were genuinely pleased and happy.

When you finished, the room looked rather bad, not to mention the clothes or your hair. Caius would never have appeared that way to the guards, let alone on trial, but with you it was different.

“I wanted to show you something,” he said, wiping the paint off your cheek.

You took his hand. Caius, like Marcus, did not invade your personal zone, unless you specifically gave permission. However, carnality and touch were important to him, and so, once you were more comfortable in his presence, he liked to show you affection by stroking your cheek or your back, and intertwining his fingers with yours, when you held hands. You didn't mind his cold skin – by now you were accustomed to it, as three of them had similar body temperature. You were the hottest here. Literally.

You walked slowly to another room.

“I didn't tell you, but I finished craving” he said, and you could hear the excitement in his voice. You smiled at him. That was the main reason why you had agreed to have yourself sculpted in the first place. You wanted to get close to him on a level, which was inaccessible to do in any other way.

“Before you show me, will you tell me as to where you even got the idea of carving me?” you asked, amused. Caius was much taller than you, you had to slightly lift your head to look him straight in the eye.

At first, he smiled archly, but immediately his smile softened. He pulled at the material that covered the sculpture, so that it fell to the floor. You were simply speechless. The woman, who stood opposite to you was over four metres tall. The sculpture was made of marble and the woman looked, as if she was an actual person. There was something elusive about her. Her face, thoughtful yet serene, her hair flowing freely over her shoulders onto her back. She was clad in a fine fabric that flowed in waves down to her bare feet. She looked nothing like you and yet, you two looked exactly alike.

You had no idea that you started crying. The woman was beautiful. You could feel the power and dignity emanating from her, and on the other hand, she seemed to you as if... fragile and ephemeral. Caius had captured in this sculpture all the feelings you had been feeling, without even knowing it.

You felt his hand on your cheek, his fingers gently wiping away your tears along with some paint, which remained on your face.

“I thought I would like you to see yourself through my eyes. Exactly as I see you – without a single flaw, yet with all your imperfections. I don't want you to be unable to look at yourself, because of what this animal did to you. I don't see it. I only see you, [Y/N]. The real you. Beautiful and fragile, yet powerful, without inhibitions or scruples. Capable of anything.”

The words were trapped in your throat. You wanted to say something, but you were sure, that as soon as you were going to open your mouth, uncontrollable sob would come out. You looked first at Caius, then at the woman carved in marble, then back at Caius. He only smiled gently.

“Who we are – we decide that ourselves. No one else does. To me, you are beautiful. Pure. Never think otherwise, dolcezza.”

Without warning, you hugged him so hard, that it hurt. You forgot that his skin was different from yours. He embraced you without hesitation, even though you were all covered in paint. You wept, cuddling into his chest, as he soothingly stroked your hair and back.

Once you had slightly calmed down, you looked up at him. His blond hair looked like a halo over his head. He amazed you in every sense of the word.

“Thank you. Thank you for letting me see this,” you whispered poignantly, and then went straight back to hugging him.

“There's nothing to thank you for, my lovely [Y/N]. I would like you to accept yourself as you are. Because you are truly magnificent.”

 The only person you talked straightforward about pregnancy was Aro. Was it because of his gift? Most likely, and you simply felt you could trust him. From the moment you first found yourself in his arms, the bond between you two only strengthened. Also, a memorable visit from the doctor was also significant, and then, together with him, you went through the documents that Bella had sent you. To say he was furious, was an understatement. Yes, Aro saw your memories, but the reports were written from a third-person perspective. And the other evening was really awful – you couldn't stop crying because you couldn't block out the flow of memories.

You were close with each other; close enough for you to try to overcome your insecurities, to talk about how you really felt about this whole situation you found yourself in. It was far from easy, but Aro was a really patient specimen. In the course of these talks, you discussed practically everything. You knew that every scenario had to be worked out and discussed, because there were many different options of the outcome.

Despite many conversations, you were still unsure about keeping the baby. You didn't know if you wanted to, if you would be able to raise it and then tell it that it would forcibly have to become a vampire. After the doctor's appointment, things did not get any easier for you. You heard the heart and knew that the child was not to blame for its father’s actions. You were raped, but this child had nothing to do with it.

So you waited. You waited for a miracle to decide for you or for the baby to move when you were thinking of having it removed. It’d be a sign not to do it. However, nothing of the sort was happening and fate was not deciding for you. Aro convinced you that, even if you decided to have an abortion, there was nothing wrong about it. No one would blame you for it. The only person to blame here, was the monster who raped you.

You hadn't decided what you would do about the pregnancy, but you and Aro knew what would happen, if something went wrong. For your mates, it was your health and life that came first. Aro assured you of that a thousand times over. Because of this, if anything went wrong with the birth or if there were any complications, you were to be changed immediately. Also because of this, Aro talked to you about all aspects of your transformation. He was the one who introduced you to what transformation actually looks like. He didn't scare you with the pain you were about to go through, but only gave you the facts. Facts that you needed to know.

When you weren't talking about such serious matters, Aro also loved to spend time talking to you, but about different topics. He seemed to know all your thoughts, but you were still able to surprise him. He explained to you, that the human mind was more disordered and chaotic, than vampire one and that he certainly didn't see everything. Your brain chose the memories, often associated with strong feelings and emotions, which were meant to be remembered. You were joyful about this, because you could talk endlessly and he kept finding out something new about you. And you kept finding something new about him. You knew from the first moment that he was extraordinary, and the more you talked, the more you became certain about it.

Besides, Aro adored dancing. You were not convinced about this form of activity, but it was the intimacy of this act that convinced you. In his arms, no one was able to hurt you. You felt safe and, after many attempts, quite confident in your movements. He literally beamed, being able to teach you to dance and to be so close to you. You found nothing in his eyes but the infinite adoration he had for you. When you found out the reason behind this, your heart almost broke with sorrow and compassion.

“I must confess something to you, cara mia,” he whispered, holding you securely in his arms. It was evening, you had long since been prepared for sleep. He found your long nightgown to his liking, when he came to check how you were doing and if you needed anything. You rested your head on his shoulder. There was no music, he was the one giving the rhythm to your movements, yet it was the most wonderful dance you had yet had the chance to dance with him.

“Do tell, please,” you said, trying not to lose the rhythm. You were tired, as throughout the day you sorted through the things Bella sent you from Forks. In addition, you worked with Marcus to sell your house, because you were, after all, a little concerned about what hands your family home would pass into.

“I have been bound over the centuries to both men and women. My ex-wife, Sulpicia, whom you know and, to the best of my knowledge, whom I permitted to leave, was my faithful companion, basically from the beginning of my immortality. However, until now, I did not know what it meant to have a true mate.”

He tilted you gently, wishing to look into your eyes. You continued to sway to a non-existent rhythm, completely oblivious to your surroundings. You furrowed your brows.

“Are you serious?” you asked in a whisper, not wanting to ruin the moment. The light emanating from the candles, illuminated half of his face. He smiled, and you were unable to take your eyes off his red irises.

“Yes, my dear. I have waited over three thousand years for you. I must tell you, that I could wait another three millennia, only to see your beautiful face,” he said affectionately, holding you tighter against him to stroke your flushed cheek with his fingers.

Your eyes welled up with tears and he slowly bent down and kissed your forehead.

“That's enough for today, cara mia. You must rest well. Caius has something planned for tomorrow, but he didn't want to reveal what, under any circumstances,” he said amused, giggling under his breath. You loved when Aro was in a good mood, because then you were in a good mood too. Before he walked you to bed, he wiped away your tear. You squeezed his hand in yours, then climbed onto the bed. He covered you carefully with a duvet and stroked your hair.

“I'm glad I came here,” you whispered, looking into his eyes. “I never want to leave you,” you said with force. He smiled softly at you and stroked your hair once more.

“We will always be by your side, [Y/N]. Good night, cara.”

His voice so soft and tuneful that as soon as he snuffed out the candles, you drifted off to sleep in an instant.

 *

 Apart from the fact that almost everything was going great and your mental state was in constant improvement, your relationship with Bella had severely worsened. In the beginning you talked every evening. She still couldn't understand why you were selling the house and why you wouldn't, at least, want to visit Forks. After a while, you got fed up with explaining it to her. There were an awful lot of things she wasn't happy about and she didn't hide it. She kept criticising the Volturi without knowing them and having no idea, what they were actually doing.

You loved her like a sister, but because of that, she could annoy you exactly like one. Because of her pinching remarks and your lack of patience, you called each other less and less. You didn't want to keep getting annoyed and you were tired of explaining things to her. Besides, you didn't like that she didn't say a single good word about your mates. You at least tried to accept Edward. Suddenly, what he did to her was all forgotten and you couldn't understand it. You didn't know, what was happening to your sister and your stay in Italy didn’t exactly make things better. You still hoped that once you saw each other after the transformation, you would be able to explain it all to one another. You didn't want to lose Bella, the last person you considered family.

So you talked less and less or not at all, and when you did, you avoided difficult and sensitive topics. It was not like with Bella at all and it made you anxious. You were at ease with each other, almost always, and you didn’t get why she was so bitter and hateful towards your knew, chosen life. Especially, because partially your presence right then, in the trial chamber, was the reason for her to be alive at all.

Shortly after Caius presented you with your sculpted self, you were to spend the whole day together, the four of you. These were the days you loved the most. Although you cherished the time spent with each of your mates separately, the presence of all three put you in an ecstatic mood. You usually spent your afternoons like this – there were still a lot of things to do and solve, and a lot of trials to carry out.

Being in Volterra for so long, you learned a lot about the existing laws and how to enforce them. You knew that kings were not flawless, but it was logical to you that keeping the entire vampire world in line, required some sacrifices. Some greater than the other ones.

You usually sat down in the study, where you had ended the very first day, at a round table. You listened to the discussions and arguments, but also just spent time with your mates. You often sat on Aro's lap or tried to calm Caius down, when he became too agitated.

You were extremely excited since the morning, because they promised you a whole day outside. It wasn't often that all three of them wanted to spend time with you in the gardens, so you couldn't restrain your exhilaration. However, there were also days, or rather moments, when, under any circumstances, you could not leave your room. Such a moment was to occur today, after breakfast. You slept for a long time, almost until eleven o'clock. When you ate your breakfast, it was Renata who informed you that it was time to eat. Of course, you knew what it was about.

The only situation, in which you could not leave your chamber, was at lunchtime. Not yours, though, but the lunchtime of all the vampires, who inhabited the castle. For your own safety, usually for about two hours, you were not to leave and to occupy yourself with whatever you wanted. The only two hours, in which Renata or anyone else was not around you. Not many people knew about your stay in the castle and because of this, the kings decided that Renata should eat with the rest of the company.

You did not consider it strange in the slightest. Of course, you tried not to think about the fact that people would die, but you knew that they were chosen at random. Which meant that they could just as well have been run over by a car or they could have died in a fire. You did not think about it. You were just enjoying your two hours of freedom. Sometimes you sunbathed on the balcony, prepared your outfit or just played on the computer. These were little things that still reminded you of being human.

This week, when Renata told you that she would be gone for a while, you were already enjoying a long soak in the bathtub. The home spa was one of the favourite things you and your mum liked to do together. You poured hot water into the tub, applied a mask that you had prepared yourself with a few ingredients and relaxed.

Since you had no idea when, you were no longer afraid to look in the mirror. Sure, your body shape was far from ideal, but at least you weren’t terrified to look. You weren’t terrified to acknowledge that, yes, your body was raped, but you were recovering from it. And that you started to think that your body didn’t cause any of this.

After some time you spent in the bathtub, you felt a little dizzy. It wasn’t exactly a good sign, so you figured it’d be wise to get out of the tub. When you rinsed yourself off with clean water, you stood up, and that was the moment of terror. The room immediately started spinning, like you were on roundabout for the last forty minutes. You felt nauseous, but there was nothing near you to which you could cling to. You managed to step out of the tub, on the marble step, and then you felt it. Pain, excruciating pain, suffocation. Streams of blood went down your legs and before you fell onto the ground, you could only see white marble floor all covered in sanguineous blood.

I love when people talk about slashers/villains or ‘damaged’ characters and are like “I can fix them”

No Martha I don’t wanna fix them..

I wanna fuck them.

I want them to make me their bitch.

There’s a difference.

hey so in the ask abt bella and edward dying u said renesmee would still grow up in a weird environment. how would that go?

Anon's referring to this post.

Anon, *lowers sunglasses*, I suggest you...

Write the fic.

(gif credit @franzias-cave)

Seriously, the answer is it depends on how Bella and Edward died. Vampires don't die of natural causes and how they go will make this answer different. We have...

Bella died in childbirth then Edward killed himself

Edward says a mean thing about Jacob after Jacob died in a freak accident caused by stupidity then Edward too dies a very tragic death but Bella unable to live in a world without Jacob or Edward then kills herself

The imprint reveal goes poorly and a fight breaks out because of it, somehow Bella and Edward both die

Bella and Edward decide to vacation in the tropics alone with Jacob and or Renesmee and Caius decides to take a risk and points Demetri and a hit squad at Edward and Bella and the pair tragically die. Jacob, per the scenario, probably dies too.

Edward has a mental breakdown and decides that vampirism is bad, his wife is now a ghoul, and murders Bella, attempts to murder Renesmee, then kills himself/is killed by a family member and or Jacob

Look, I could keep going, the point is that every single bullet point here is going to have a different result in the aftermath. Renesmee may or may not grow up blaming herself, she may be kept in the dark and knows there's some tragic secret of why her parents went out for cigarettes and never came back but no one will tell her exactly what it is, Jacob may or may not still be around and still fucking imprinting, depending on Jacob's involvement in all of this murder nonsense there may be issues over that in that Renesmee will have to live in the aftermath of what this man wanted from her and what has happened to her parents because of it, Renesmee might live in terror that the Volturi came and killed her parents at the first opportunity, not to mention how the Cullens themselves are coping either by grieving the pair's tragic death or else trying to cope with the fact that one of them murdered the other and or that nice kid down the road Jacob Black did it.

My point was that no matter which direction you go, per vampires, it involves at least one murder and perhaps a suicide and no matter what happens that will be bad for Renesmee and the Cullens alike.

If Carlisle asked Aro to help him assassinate Edward without anyone else knowing, would that be fucked up or what??? And would Aro do it??

That would definitely be fucked up. Luckily for Edward Aro wouldn't do it. The Volturi are not Carlisle's private assassination squad, and even if Aro were to agree it would be defeating the purpose of discretion to send a squad of Volturi guards to do what Carlisle can do himself much more subtly.

Carlisle's on his own with this one.

[volturi-or-die]

Who does everyone in the Volturi main in Smash?

So first we gotta establish something: Alec owns the Switch. He is the undisputed* champion at Smash. Like boy will mess everyone up. But yeah lets talk mains

Alec: Marth! Because he’s strong duh and can wield a sword and reminds him of how he wanted to be a knight when he was young and human and had dreams

Jane: the only one that’s allowed to play the switch when Alec isn’t there and *wins every time against Alec (although he’ll never admit to letting her win but there was that one time she fully beat his ass) but anyways she mains Pikachu. Felix made the mistake of calling it cute instead of strong and is no longer allowed to play with Jane. 

Felix & Demetri: listen these two are a mess. They’re both just bad. But they’re also super embarrassed. In private (aka only against Alec) they play as Peach and Daisy respectively.They haven’t even told each other, but hey dude Peach/Daisy is strong okay. If anyone else is around they’ll main Richter and Shulk because they think they look like them (don’t ask)

Heidi: Bayonetta. Literally no one is allowed to play as Bayonetta except Heidi. Even when she’s not there. Demetri found that out the hard way.

Aro: Changes it up honestly. He likes to have fun with it honestly so it’s a new character each time. Except since Alec got the DLC (duh of course he did), he’s found he’s been playing Joker more because of his dramatic flare

Caius: On the rare occasion Caius plays, he wants to go for power. So who does he play as? Ganondorf. Does he ever win? No. Does Alec try to tell him to pick a different fighter? Yes. Does Caius listen? No. C’est la vie

Marcus: One day the gang was playing and Marcus comes by. They ask Marcus if he wants to play. To everyone’s surprise he agrees. So Marcus sits there and picks Isabelle. The rest of them try to tell him, no pick a different character, but he says no it’s cute and happy like Didyme. 5 minutes later, he wins. Marcus says, “Thank you. That was quite fun,” and walks away. Everyone stares at him open mouthed like the patrick star meme as he walks away. Marcus now has a portrait in the throne room with the title “Smash God” 

Athenodora & Sulpicia: Sometimes Corin borrows the switch with Alec’s permission and plays with the Queens. They’re pretty good at it honestly and kick Aro and Caius’ ass all the time. They’ll primarily play as Samus, Link or Zelda and just rotate them around because unlike someone *cough* Heidi *cough* they don’t have a sharing problem

Corin: Listen the day that Corin found out she had a namesake character, she was all for it, even if it was spelled Corrin (this may have also started her long journey into becoming obsessed with Fire Emblem but who’s to say)

Renata: Renata found Kirby and from day one she became like that Paris Hilton meme saying “can I get 5 more of these little pink bitches” 

Santiago: Incineroar. He kinda switches around Pokemon but Renata bought him his first pokemon game and a 3DS when Sun/Moon came out and he picked Litten as his starter so he’s kinda attached.

Chelsea: Chelsea can be well......competitive. She and Alec can get into some really intense match ups. She’s been trying to beat him for a while and so she’s been rotating characters. She’s gotten pretty close with Diddy Kong but hasn’t quite beaten Alec yet. 

Afton: He’s not allowed to play the switch.

when you have potential as a secondary character in a series despite not having a special supernatural ability, and bring some pleasantly dark humor to the story, but get yeeted to the back burner, whitewashed, given a shitty haircut and don’t get a chance to shine
