#if you can’t tell I really like Rosalie actually

🙉 Hollister, 🌋 23, 💥 Iara, 🖍️ Maggie , 🕷️ Alastor , 💧 Wilson, ☄️ Rosalind. Content for some of the classic favs as well as information about some of the ones I'm less familiar with, that was my goal here. <:
WOOO HELL YEAH :DDD HELLO FRIEND
🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone?
The best answer here is the most obvious one - hearing someone say she isn’t good enough. She’s been told that her whole life, and it never really stops stinging. She acts like it doesn’t bother her, or like she’s above it, but every time she hears it just cuts a little deeper, and her need to always impress people has a heavy affect on the way she acts, whether she knows it or not. Everything has to be a competition so she can win it and prove herself and maybe then someone will decide she’s worth caring about. Even when people do care about her, unconditionally, she’s still running that little imaginary countdown in the back of her mind until they get fed up and abandon her. My traumatized little scrunkly <3
🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?
23 is very easily angered, but she’s been trained not to let that show, so when things do irritate her, she’s forced to just bottle it up and smile her little Cheshire-cat smile through it. With the way it builds up, though, there’s always bound to be a point where it explodes, and when it does, she is an absolute nightmare to be around. 23 gets very violent when she’s angry, and while she usually winds up taking it out on some punching bag in the gym, that doesn’t do much to satisfy the bloodlust. It’s part of the reason why she loves being on the job so much - beating up a person is much more fun than a punching bag. Fun fact! When she’s just frustrated but not too angry, she paces a lot and does this weird little clawing motion with her hands, which if you look closely enough is just her strangling a little imaginary person.
💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?
Adams is usually very good at dealing with their emotions, but there’s one that always gets the best of them no matter how hard they try. Guilt. And they have a lot they feel guilty for, a lot of lives they weren’t able to save. Adams feels personally responsible for the safety of every one of their agents and everyone they’re supposed to protect. Every life lost feels like a failure on their own part, even if they had nothing to do with them. They can push down almost any other emotion to wait for later, but every time guilt hits, it always gets to them.
🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?
Honestly, I almost wish she would give me some advice, but that’s irrelevant. Uhhhh. I think the best advice I could give her is that her self-sacrificial tendencies hurt the people around her more than help them. She faked her own death to keep Wilson safe, which affected him for the rest of his life. Plus, he got those tendencies from her, and we’ve seen how well that went. Her constant need to take the bullet for someone else more often than not winds up causing more pain than the original situation would have, and it screams “trauma” that her first instinct in a life-or-death scenario is to throw herself in front of someone rather than just. yknow. Using her shield, maybe??
🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?
HOHOHO my guy. Alastor’s worst fear is simply being forgotten. Everything he does is an attempt to make a mark on the world - he just doesn’t care whether than mark is good or bad. He cannot fathom the idea of his own existence being entirely unimportant in the grand scheme of things, and all his scheming shit and assholery can really be chalked up to him trying to claw his way into some kind of significance before he dies. A high-ranking member of the IBW, maybe someday it’s leader. One of the Society’s greatest enemies. The man who created his own human superweapon from nothing. He thinks he deserves to be remembered long after his death, and he has no problem being remembered for all the awful things he’s done, so long as he makes an impact. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t get that :)
💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon
Wilson has awful night terrors. Horrifying. They’re mostly relived memories from his childhood or nightmares about losing people, but either way, they cause him an insane amount of stress, but he plays it off like it’s not a big deal. Like. Buddy don’t try to be slick with me I know you’ve been avoiding going to sleep for days on end we can all see the bags under your eyes. Lying next to Fox helps most nights after they move in together, letting Wilson focus on that warmth rather than his intrusive thoughts and memories, and Fox is always there to comfort him on the occasions that the nightmares come back, but you know those few weeks where everyone thought Fox was dead? Haha! Those were not fun.
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
It’s Rosie time baybeeee~ When out in public, Rosalind likes to fake the whole “dumb blonde” thing. Then, people severely underestimate her, making it much easier to manipulate them, and by the time they figure out what she’s doing she’s already got a gun pointed at their head. She doesn’t get to do this much anymore - she was one of the DoA’s assassins before she took over as it’s leader, and she doesn’t get the chance to interact with outsiders too much - which is a shame, since she always found it very funny when people figured her out. She does still pull that trick every time she meets someone from outside, though. She’s probably the smartest person in the whole paracosm, and she knows it.

Youngest Shadow- Confirming Us
Tumblr media
One | two | three | four | five | six | seven
Bella stands by me, getting herself ready for what she’s about to do. It’s the end of the school day and I suck in a deep breath for her. I can not believe she’s actually going through with this.
She starts walking towards the Cullen’s. She makes eye contact with Edward and he immediately gets the message but Rosalie grabs his arm. Bella already disappeared in the trees that bordered the school property. Rosalie says something to him but Alice shakes her head and removes her hand, also speaking. I obviously can’t hear them from here.
Biting the dead skin off my bottom lip nervously I try my best not to cough. Of course I’m still sick, not as bad as yesterday but still up there. Just without the fever.
I watch Edward finally get away from his foster siblings and go to my sister. It feels like my breathing has been shortened. I have a feeling he won’t do anything to her but there’s always a thought in the back of my mind.
“Hey, you okay?” I turn and it was just Angela. “Hm?” I raise a brow. “Oh I was just asking if you’re okay. Since you were pretty sick yesterday.” She smiles, putting her hand on my back causing me to shutter. “I’m better, still sick.” I look away to cough. Her touch makes my chest squeeze and I don’t notice the two staring at me from across the lawn. Or at least I act like I don’t.
“Aw, I’m sorry.” She pouts moving her hand to my shoulder and I nervously laugh. “It’s okay, did you find your prom dress?” I change the subject, her eyes light up in response. “Yes I did. Did you? I wasn’t able to ask since you were so bad yesterday.” She takes her hand back and I felt like a corset was being taken off and I could actually breathe again. “Ah, that’s amazing. I don’t know if I’m going.” I shrug.
She takes my hand and that one feeling comes back. “You have to it will be so fun. And since we don’t have Bella coming we need at least one Swan sister to come.” She tries to convince me. That sentence throws me the wrong way though, I know she didn’t intend it to but I don’t know.
“We could even match colors. My dress is like light pink.”
“I mean if you’d like me to I will.” I tell her with a small smile. “Light pink is such a good choice.” Another voice rings to my right side and both of us jump from the person. I mentally curse once I see who it is. “Oh, um… thank you Alice.” Angela grins at the other girl as I glare at her.
“So, [Name] how’d you sleep last night?” She turns to me and my lips press together angrily. Angela seems confused.
“What an odd question to ask.” I say through my teeth.
“Really? I just wanted to make sure it was nice since Jasper and I left before you woke up.” She sweetly says, my eyes widen.
“I slept fine.” I roll my eyes.
“That’s good! Angela? That’s your name right? I’m going to steal [Name] here for a second.” She doesn’t even let the girl answer nor give me the chance to deny. Taking my arm and dragging me away. I look back at Angela apologetically.
She waves me goodbye, furrowing her eyebrows as she was just as confused as me.
We get into a car where I’m in the backseat, Jasper was in the driver seat. “What was that!?” I pull away from her, my face scrunched with anger.
“Shh.” She tells me and I grunt as I push myself backwards on the seat. “Is this a fucking AA or something? Here to tell each other secrets?” I cross my arms.
“Why are you so mad at us, darling?” Jasper turns to look at me.
“Why are you so obsessed with me?” I rebuttal.
“Well, you obviously know what we are is that your reason?” He ignores what I had just said. “No I’m just- I’m confused!” I exclaim.
“You’re both together, in a relationship. Immortal I might add that I am not. What do you want from me?”
Their gazes soften. “[Name], you’re our missing piece. You’re ours. You have been for years we only now found you.” Alice tells, still smiling. I think back to my dream.
Their missing piece…
“You still aren’t answering me correctly. Give me an explanation, a good one that doesn’t sound like you’re crazy!” I exasperated.
“I’m some missing piece, whatever! But why me? You don’t know me!” I hold myself trying not to get emotional from how overwhelmed I feel.
“We know more than you think, love.” Jasper says, i glance over to him, motioning for him to keep talking.
“We’ve had this feeling for years, we knew you as humans, [Name]. Years and years ago. You’re the one who would get through our fingers. Your past lives have popped up. And they will continue to do so until you fall for us. You won’t remember until you-“ he cuts himself off, Alice’s eyes bored onto me. “You won’t remember.”
I sit there for a minute in complete silence.
Then I start laughing. “Okay I played into this for a little bit. I actually believed it, I believed my sister too! Is this some sort of prank or something?” I shake my head. “This is good, really. You had me. But knock it off.” I go to open the door but it won’t open.
“Hey, let me out.” I play with the handle and the two just sit there. “I said let me out.” I order, now using to hands.
“[Name],” Alice goes to touch me but I go up against the door. “Don’t touch me.” I smack her away from me and a shock goes through my arm. I gasp not only from how cold she is, even though I already know she is. But something actually shocked me. Not a normal metal shock but like a taser went through my arm.
“We’re telling the truth.” Jasper says lowly, I just scoff.
“Okay, sure and I’m a fucking werewolf. Do you know how crazy this sounds!?” I throw my hands into the air.
“Yes, yes we know.” Alice sadly replied.
“I want proof.” I simply say. “I want to see the speed shit or whatever.”
They look between each other, nodding.
“We can do that but we have to go to an excluded place. Do you trust us enough?” Alice asks me. I sit there for a moment.
“Sure.”
“We need a yes if we leave this parking lot.”
I roll my eyes, “yes.”
And in a quick notion we’re on the road, exhilarating passed the speed limits.
I grip onto the handle above me.
Then we come to a stop, we’re in the forest. “We gotta do some walking.” Jasper warns me, I just nod.
He finally unlocks the child lock he had put on and I get out. I leave my backpack inside the vehicle. Alice and Jasper stand next to me on either side. We start up on this hike trail. We walk in silence. None of us tried to start up a conversation.
“Watch your step.” Jasper warns me and even with that warning I somehow trip. Luckily I don’t fall. My face warms up in embarrassment. They don’t say anything, don’t even crack a smirk or anything. Sort of making me feel better about it.
Then Jasper starts going off trail and I stop in place. “What are you doing?”
“Excluded place, remember, Darling?” Jasper reminds me, I look around trying to think of a way to get out of this. “Right.” I whisper, realizing there isn’t going to be one. I buried my own grave here.
“I’ll be right behind you to make sure you don’t fall.” Alice tells me, trying to reassure me.
I don’t acknowledge what she said, just following Jasper.
It was long until we get to this small spot. “No one’s around.” Alice tells Jasper who nods shortly.
My nerves start rising, I play with the sleeves of my sweater.
“Okay do you have anything else to ask?” Jasper asks and I shake my head. “Just do the speed shit.” I tell trying not to sound panicked but that doesn’t work.
He snickers and Alice stands next to him. Then he’s gone and I feel a tap on my shoulder. When I turned he was gone again. I look straight and Alice was gone too. A tap on my back this time and they’re both behind me. I squint at them and then Jasper is gone again. Now hanging on a tree branch.
Alice grins.
He jumps down, it was a high branch so I gasp. Almost going to run to him but he stands with perfect posture.
“Do you believe it now?” Alice teases me, my mouth opens to speak but nothing comes out. “I… I um”
“Are you scared?” Jasper questions me, going back next to his lover.
“Would you be in my position?”
The two laugh. “Yeah, we would.” Alice sighs.
“Well, oddly enough I’m not. I want to know more.” I tell them.
And for the next few days that’s what we do. I learn more about them.
Barely passing by Bella but we both subconsciously knew that each other got our answers.
And with learning about them came.. loving them. Both of them. I never thought I’d be with two people- vampires?
I guess no one thinks they will be with a vampire.
I knew I’d be in a relationship no one would understand in my family. Like being with a woman most likely. But in this odd polyamory love affair I would’ve never guessed.
They were gentle with me. Like a doll.
“Jasper usually has trouble around humans. That’s why he kind of looks like he’s in pain. But with you. It’s like you’re one of us. We still have to treat you with fragile care. Nonetheless you’re made for us.” Alice grins, holding my hand as we walked together on that same trail. Jasper had to help Rosalie and Emmett with something so he couldn’t join us today.
“Do you think there’s something with my blood?” I look at her and she gives me a confused look. “What do you mean?”
“Well you guys drink blood. What’s so different about mine?”
She breaks out into a small laugh. “Nothings different it’s just how we are with you. It’s been like that in all of your lifetimes. It’s how we know it’s you. Well we normally know because you always look the same. Same first name too.” She explains, my mouth going into the form of an ‘o’.
“You’re cute.” She gently bumps into me.
And no matter how many times I ask them about my past lives, about how I acted they never answered.
Always saying “you’ll find out when you do.”
It was very frustrating.
“I can see into the future, visions. I can see what a persons up to at this very moment. The future can change though. It’s not always accurate.” Alice tells me and I raise an eyebrow.
“Did you know about Bella and your brother before they came about?” I tilt my head.
“Sort of. I didn’t want to pry.” She says. “Can you do anything special?” I turn to Jasper.
“I can manipulate your emotions. Sort of like an empathetic person. I feel your emotion instead of you.” He explains.
I tilt my head, wanting to know more.
“How come you didn’t do that to me when I was angry with you guys?”
“I didn’t want to have this relationship based off of me manipulating you. I wanted you to feel everything, think for yourself. Make your choice. You’re worth waiting a million years for.” He takes me hand like Alice is but takes it up and kisses it.
I smile to myself, glancing down at the ground.
“We want you to come over and meet everyone.” Alice suddenly says.
“Your sister will be there too.” She adds.
I blink a few times, my chest tightening. “Uh… are you sure?”
“Of course.” Jasper chimes in.
And I felt like throwing up.
The thought of meeting their family made my heart thump quicker than normal.
“Okay… I’ll do it if my sister is there.”
“Great, we will pick you up tomorrow.”
Today I brought my motorcycle myself this time. So I drove home myself. And getting there Jacob and Billy stood outside talking to my dad. Well Billy sat in the car as Jacob was going to get out. I’m guessing to take out the wheelchair.
Getting off my bike, I take my helmet off as I walked over to them. “Hey, squirt!” My dad shouts over to me and I wave.
“Hey guys!” I smile. Jacob comes over and pulls me into a hug. Billy was a bit standoffish but he smiles and greets me as well.
Jacob walks away and goes to set up the wheelchair, Billy gets himself up to sit in it.
That’s when Bella gets dropped off by Edward, Billy and him make eye contact and Billy seemed nervous.
Okay this chapter is a little shorter than normal. I had some things happen so I’ve been busy. But I’m hoping to have two chapters out on Sunday.
And a few requests done.

“What do you mean?” Carlisle asked, threading carefully on what will happen next
“You’re not human.” Celine concluded with Carlisle not answering her question immediately “What are you?”
“My love…” Carlisle started, looking at her, but he was met with no kind of adoration in her eyes anymore “Yes, I am not human. But I do not intend on harming you.”
“I know.” Celine said, the glint of calmness was now back in her eyes “I just need to know what you are. For my peace of mind, I guess.”
“You’ll either laugh or get extremely concerned if I tell you what I actually am.” He whispered lowly, ashamed of himself
“A vampire?” Celine asked him again
“How did you know?” Carlisle asked almost immediately. He looked at Celine, realizing that she didn’t actually know and that it was just a rough guess that he confirmed.
“A vampire? In a hospital?” Celine asked her, her eyebrows furrowed at the irony of it. There were so many questions running in her mind
“I-I have to go.” Carlisle answered, standing up and picking up his clothes, quickly wearing his shirt and rushing out of her house to his car
‘She knows’ Carlisle was panicking as he drove off back to their house. Thoughts swirled chaotically in his mind, making it impossible for him to think straight. He hit his steering wheel in anger before driving back home in silence, his grip on the steering wheel painfully tight
“Celine knows.” Edward announced to everyone, carefully reading Carlisle’s thoughts
“What do you mean, ‘she knows’? We were careful with it.” Rosalie asked her
“We were careful, Carlisle probably wasn’t.” Edward continued in conclusion “I tried telling you that this was the same as with me and Bella before, but no one believed me.”
“Will we have to move?” Renesmee asked
“No, no. Carlisle will decide on that.” Bella assured her “Besides, we can’t move yet, you need to finish your high school.”
“Well, with what’s happening, we might have to.” Rosalie said, sitting down on one of their couches
“I’m sure Carlisle will have an explanation.” Esme said, trying to calm everyone down. She was just as nervous; would they really just leave Celine like that?
“She figured it out on her own.” Edward said, reading into her mind “She’s not mad. Actually, she’s driving to our place now, at an incredibly dangerous but legal speed. Celine wants to chat with Carlisle.”
“Carlisle left her?” Emmett asked “Weren’t they just having sex earlier?”
“Emmett!” Edward yelled, covering Renesmee’s ears as she laughs at their antics
“My question still stands. Weren’t they just doing something earlier?” Emmett said, chuckling as Renesmee lightly slaps Edward’s hand off her, wanting to listen to what was happening
“Yeah, she’s kind of annoyed about that. But she’s more annoyed that Carlisle just ran away.” Edward said, still reading into Celine’s mind
“Couldn’t even wait until she fell asleep.” Rosalie said, playfully rolling her eyes
“So, you’re warming up to her now?” Jasper asked, teasing her lightly
“I mean, you heard Alice.” Rosalie shrugged “One way or another, she’s gonna be a vampire. We only prevented that rogue vampire from doing it early on.”
“You just want her to not jump first into being one of us?” Bella asked her, knowing and understanding what Rosalie now meant when she was still human
“She’s smart, she would think of the consequences first.” Esme said, already having heard stories about Celine from Carlisle “Besides, Carlisle won’t push her into that.”
“Carlisle is—
“I fucked up.” Carlisle announced, rushing in the house. All of them yelled and closed their eyes, having just seen him in his boxers
“Carlisle, go wear something!” Esme scolded, getting Carlisle to rush up to his room and get dressed into something more casual
“He technically told Celine that we’re vampires.” Edward told everyone as he rushes down the stairs
“Did you even see her reaction?” Jasper asked, Carlisle only shook his head no
“Well now you will, because she’s outside the house.” Jasper said, opening the main door of their house, seeing Celine
“You didn’t tell me that your house was very cold.” Celine said as a greeting to everyone, shivering from the coldness
“Come, let’s talk in my office. Then I’ll introduce you to my family.” Carlisle said, walking to her and taking her hand, leading her to his office
“What now?” Celine asks, rubbing her hands together in an attempt to warm her down. Carlisle immediately grabbed the hanged coat in his office and placed it on her shoulder. The sight of her in his clothes warming him up a bit
“I don’t know.” Carlisle muttered lowly “What do you want now?”
“Well,” Celine said, sitting on the table of his office “I’m not scared that you’re a vampire, if you’re worried about that. And I don’t plan to make that this week’s hospital gossip too, if you’re somehow more worried about that.”
“Thank heavens.” Carlisle let out a big sigh
“Why?” Celine asked him “Is it like a vampire law to not let any non-vampires know about your existence?”
“Kind of, it’s tough to explain.” Carlisle answered, moving closer to her. He knows that he won’t do much help with her being cold, he just wanted to be near her
The silence between the two was comforting but nerve-wracking. Carlisle couldn’t figure out what was going on Celine’s mind 
‘Probably filled with calling me a monster’ a part of his mind said to him
“I think you owe me the truth.” Celine whispered softly, looking at him with a smile “The whole truth, no more of that weird ex-girlfriend stuff. Because you and I both know that that was a very shit lie.”
“Where do you want to start then?” Carlisle asked, walking and grabbing some chairs for her to sit on
“How old are you?” Celine immediately asked, sitting down on the chair that he offered to her
“You have to be a bit more specific than that, my love.” Carlisle chuckled softly, joining her in sitting down
“All of your ages then.” She told him. Her eyes had this twinkle of curiosity, wanting to know more about him
“Well, I was 23 or so when I was turned into a vampire.” He answered, as Celine furrowed her eyebrows, he took it as a sign to continue “It was the 1600’s, we didn’t have a really good date tracking date by then.”
“You’re roughly 300 years old.” Celine said, a shock on her face
“382 to be exact.” Carlisle revealed, getting him to shy away. 
‘Now it looks creepy’ he thought to himself, watching her reactions
“Wow, never thought I’d date that old.” Celine teased him, getting him to let out a sigh of relief
“To be fair, you are already four years older than me in a sense.” He tried to tease her, letting out a small laugh
“I’m four years older than you and 350 years younger than you at the same time. I wish I could say that the math isn’t mathing but it is.” She said, a smile resting on her face.
And Carlisle could only wish that he could freeze the moment between them, take a picture of them and engrave it in his mind, a memory that would remind him of their short-term happiness.
Because who would choose an eternity of being stuck the way you are?
“Esme is 127, Edward and Alice are 121, Rosalie and Emmett are 107, and Jasper is 178 but he’s the last to join us alongside Alice, minus Bella.” Carlisle continued introducing his family
“Bella? As in Bella Swan? As in the chief’s daughter?” Celine asked as ne nodded in response
“She’s with Edward, she’s 35.” Carlisle continued “And the youngest, Renesmee, she’s 16. Edward and Bella’s daughter.”
“So, humans and vampires can procreate too?” Celine asked lowly
“Yeah, but if you think that I’m only pursuing you for that, then you’ve got it all wrong.” He immediately assured her
“Then why pursue me?” Celine asked, looking at him, her eyes begging him for an answer
As Carlisle gazed at Celine, a profound sense of sorrow washed over him. The weight of her pain and self-doubt bore heavily upon his heart, stirring a deep well of empathy within him. He longed to ease her burden, to carry her suffering as his own. Carlisle realized that she always doubted herself underneath the confident aura, thinking that she was worth nothing if she couldn't bear a child.
“Because my heart belongs to you. I belong to you.” Carlisle answered as he stood up, his hands cupping her cheeks and leaving a peck on her forehead
Celine wiped the tears threatening off her face. Never has she felt so loved until now, until with Carlisle. He hugged her, thinking that the tears coming out of her were tears of sadness, of disappointment with herself.
“You’re so kind to me.” Celine mumbled, wrapping her arms around him
They stayed in that moment. Celine has never thought to feel this way so easily about a man, it’s like she was drawn to him. It was as though the universe had conspired to craft their love story, aligning the stars to guide them together.
He was made for her.
“Are you two good now?” A brown-haired woman asked, checking in the office. She was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, getting Celine to subtly feel inferior to her
‘Why did Carlisle not end up with her?’ She questioned to herself
“We are, Esme. Just needed to collect ourselves.” Carlisle answered to her, wiping off the tear stains before leaving small kisses on the apples of her cheek 
“Good, your kids are dying to meet her.” Esme said, a smile on her face.
She was gorgeous, her brown hair rested nicely on her shoulders, her eyes held the same golden shade that Carlisle had. Esme had this maternal aura around her, subtly informing Celine that the Cullens is in no need of a mother figure to fill in
‘Then what am I here for then?’ Celine questioned to herself, stopping her face from forming a frown
“Well, since you’re here.” Carlisle said, motioning Celine to come closer to him “My love, this is Esme. My sister.”
“Hi, I’m Celine!” Celine greeted her with a smile and a small wave. Carlisle instinctively placed his arms around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him. Esme immediately liked her energy.
Celine was a fresh breath on a warm day, the one that feels like you’re being lifted by the wind itself.
“We’ve heard a lot about you.” Esme said, opening the door a bit wider for them to go out of “Come, I’m sure the kids would love to meet you.”
“Rosalie is kind of…iffy with you right now. But she’ll come around.” Carlisle warned as they walked out the room. There were seven looking adults, all looking and watching them as they come down the stairs
“Everyone,” Carlisle said as they get down the last step of the stairs “This is Celine.”
“Hi!” A girl with a pixie cut greeted. Celine couldn’t help but notice how she was towered by everyone else in the room “I’m Alice! I’ve seen this happen.”
“Alice, don’t—
“Oh, it’s alright.” Celine assured to the guy with brown hair, a face that was vaguely familiar to her “After finding out that vampires are real, what more is there to limit the imagination?”
“I’m Bella.” Bella introduced herself “Though I know you already know that, seeing as I remember seeing you grow up.”
‘At least there’s a familiar face’ she thought, letting out a small sigh of relief
“You make it weird saying it like that.” Another guy with brown hair teased Bella. He was really buff, getting Celine to be intimidated “Emmett by the way. This is my wife, Rosalie.”
The woman that Emmett pointed at, Rosalie, only looked at her. A face that Celine can’t seem to figure out what it was saying to her. Rosalie was drop dead gorgeous, any insecurity that she felt earlier to Esme was now tripled in Rosalie’s presence. Her gold hair, which was tied up in a ponytail right now, shone golden.
‘I don’t belong here’ her mind cruelly told her
“Babe, don’t do this now, please?” Emmett said to his wife, rubbing her shoulders to try and calm her down
“It’s fine. Must be unusual having a human be over casually.” Celine assured them again.
‘Who am I to complain about their behavior?’ she thought to herself
“I’m Edward, Bella’s husband.” Edward, the guy that tried to stop Alice earlier, introduced himself “And this is our daughter Renesmee.”
Renesmee waved her hand at Celine cheerfully. Whatever kind of nervousness she got from Rosalie was relieved with Renesmee. She was a walking sunshine.
“I’m Jasper.” A blond guy, Jasper, said with a small wave. He shared the same hair color as Rosalie did, though his was just above his collar “Pleasure to finally meet you.”
“Pleasure to meet you too.” Celine said to everyone
Celine felt awkward with everyone’s eyes on her, getting a feeling that she wouldn’t fit in their perfectly made illusion of a family. It was making Celine feel pity for herself.
“Carlisle, have you told her?” Edward asked quietly
“Tell me what?” She asked instead of Carlisle
“My kids…” Carlisle started slowly “Some of them have special gifts. Edward can telepathically read minds, Alice can see into the future, Jasper can control emotions, Bella can block Edward’s telepathy and basically anything that is of the using of mind, and Renesmee can transmit thoughts to others.”
“So—
“I didn’t intend to, but it was practically just yelling.” Edward confirmed her suspicion, getting Celine to push her lips in a thin line and just nod in response
“I do not plan into turning you into a vampire—
“Thank you.” Celine said, looking at Carlisle “I’d love to do some thinking first before making a final decision.”
“What?” Bella asked, her eyes widened at Celine
“It won’t be an easy transition for me.” Celine answered, looking at Bella “It may have worked out for you, but it wouldn’t immediately work out for me.”
“I would understand if you also would want to go back to how we were.” She continued, now turning her attention to Carlisle “Seeing as I’m technically rejecting you now.”
“Oh no, I don’t see that as a rejection.” Carlisle said, shaking his head no to her “Even if for a short while, I would love to be given a chance to pursue you. To make you feel loved and appreciated.”
‘It will be more than enough for me to carry for eternity’ Carlisle wanted to add. He looked at Edward and slightly shook his head no, asking him to not say what his thoughts wanted to
“Are you sure?” Celine asked him again
“Of course.” Carlisle answered almost immediately, a comforting smile on his face
“Then, I think a second date should be in the talks soon.” Celine said, kissing Carlisle’s cheek before walking to the front door
“It’s been an honor to meet you all.” She said, looking around the family that was watching her “I would assume that it won’t be the last time we’ll see each other.”
Celine walked out and closed the door behind her. The family was listening intently for her car to leave before even thinking of saying their thoughts out loud
“…I think that went well.” Esme said, her hand clasped together and her lips pushed in a thin line “It didn’t, that was shit.” Rosalie said, shaking her head no at Esme “At least she wasn’t jumping headfirst into being a vampire.”

How Felix reacts to dating a bookworm
Tumblr media
Pairing: Felix Volturi x reader
Warnings: None
Requested: @xxx-wounded-angel-xxx
Story:
Hi! Could I get my beloved Felix Volturi with a bookworm reader please? Thank you :)
***
• Not long after you had found each other as mates, the very first thing that Felix learns about you is the fact you liked to read
• You always had a book with you, weather it’d be an actual book or a book you’re reading electronically
• To his amazement, you finish at least eight books before the end of the week and to Felix, that seemed to be a world record
• You tell him that reading is something you loved doing because it makes you feel like a traveler, traveling to places and even different universes
• The book series you were currently reading at this time was the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman and because Felix couldn’t quite get the knowledge of what the book was about, you go on to explain in a way he could understand it better
• “What’s it about?” Felix asks, not knowing what he’s really in for
• When it comes to talking about your favorite book, or a book Felix has never heard of, such as the one you’re reading now, you go on without missing a detail while telling him about how much you enjoy it
• Felix isn’t all that much into reading, but that was something that was about to change later on. But in the meantime, he respects you greatly for it, as you are his mate after all
• Every night without fail, you are always reading a chapter or two in bed while being snuggled up against Felix’s side, he would have his arm gently draped around you while pulling you as close to him as he could get you. You haven’t caught onto it yet, but while doing that, he would be silently reading along with you every page you turn
• For as long as you can remember, you would always read something until you felt tired enough to fall asleep and sleep the night away
• As you had gotten older over the years, and still to this day, you sometimes have those nights that even reading can’t do the trick in helping you to sleep. But nearly restless nights are a rare occurrences, they don’t come across you as they would to some others
• When those nights do come, however, Felix would offer to read aloud to you and you agree on the spot without hesitation. Handing over your book, you got into a comfortable position as you listen to his soothing voice narrating the story with your head on his chest and your eyes closed
• Moments later, you started dozing off until you allow for sleep to take over, finding the night’s rest and sleep through it peacefully. Felix would still be there holding you as the day’s sun comes up
• It took time, but before either of you know it, Felix had just about the same amount of love for reading as you, his mate
• Though you both have many things in common, this was the best one yet, right after the love you have for each other

Tumblr media
“You seem nothing like your brother,” Bella said as you waited in line for popcorn.
“Hmm?”
“You’re…how do I put this… nicer.”
“Right, I heard what happened in biology. Don’t mind my brother, he’s emotional. Seriously, mood swings out the wazoo with that one sometimes. You probably caught him at an off time. He’ll be back soon and you can say something then.”
You both reached for the bucket of popcorn at the same time, Bella’s hand pulled back quickly.
“You’re freezing.”
Crap, you thought.
“Um yeah, I have really poor circulation,” you said the first lie that came to mind.
“You should probably get that checked out.”
“My dad’s a doctor, if he says I’m not dead then it’s nothing to worry over.”
Bella didn’t say anything else. She just grabbed the popcorn and you walked into the theater.
Edward grabbed the cup of blood from your hand and took a sip.
“Eww, what is this?”
“Raccoon, and next time ask before you just take my food,” you said grabbing my cup back.
“I thought you didn’t even like blood, you and your people food.”
“You know I still need it to function a bit. Speaking of people food, well, people… you could try to act human you know. You should apologize to Bella on Monday. I mean I know you like to reject every girl at school but this time was mean.”
“You don’t get it.”
“Enlighten me.”
“La Tua…”
“Cantante,” you finished for him, “That’s who mom was talking about? You’re in love with Isabella Swan?!”
Edward sighed and rested his arms on the kitchen island. “In love and completely overwhelmed by her very scent.”
“Well, I can’t be of much advice but whatever you do Ed, don’t kill her. I kinda like this little town and I’d like to stay as long as possible. Murdering the chief’s daughter is definitely a one way ticket to moving.”
“Thank you, (Y/F/N).”
“Love you too, man.”
Bella and you walked towards her truck. You had gotten a ride with her that morning. Regardless of however Edward felt towards Bella, she wasn’t that bad to you. You could even say you had become somewhat friends. You leaned against the truck as she fished through her bag for her car keys.
“You’re still staying for dinner? Your folks are cool with it?”
“Yeah, Carlisle and Esme are pretty chill parents. We have a good amount of free reign.”
You looked over to where your siblings were standing by their cars watching you and Bella and not just talking like every other student probably thought they were. They all seemed to watch with vague interest aside from Rosalie and Edward. You couldn’t read Edward’s face but Rosalie’s was pretty obvious. If it was any other student she probably wouldn’t care; but, you being friends with your brother’s bloodsinger rubbed her all sorts of the wrong way. She had a bad feeling about danger coming to your family.
Tell Rose, even though she’s a vamp if she keeps scowling she’ll manage to get wrinkles, you thought, purposely directing it towards Edward.
He chuckled and shook his head. Before you could think of anything else, you heard the screeching of tires against the icy parking lot. Everything moved in slow motion. You saw Tyler’s van barreling towards Bella’s truck and your siblings go wide-eyed.
You couldn’t move. The screeching sounded so familiar. You weren’t standing in the school parking lot anymore. You were in a flipped over car, blood everywhere. This wasn’t real but you still couldn’t bring myself to do anything to snap out of the vision. The sound of tires still ringing in your ear.
You watched in horror as Edward raced over to where you were standing. Even as he stopped Tyler’s van and crouched over Bella, you were frozen. It wasn’t until Edward pulled on your wrist that you met his eyes and snapped out of it. Your brother quickly fled the scene and you bent down along with several others to check that Bella wasn’t injured.
No one paid attention to Rosalie, Edward, Carlisle, and you as you guys argued in the small hallway of the hospital. Your dad and sister weren’t exactly keen on Edward racing in to save the day.
“I wouldn’t have had to run if (Y/N) moved.”
“Just because you gave away our secret doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole to me Ed. I’ll see you guys back at the house, let me know when you’ve figured out what we’re telling Bella.”
You tried to walk out as calmly as you could. Edward could really be a douche sometimes, it’s not like he didn’t know why you froze up. He’s seen it in your thoughts a thousand times.
You raced to the school, careful to make sure no one saw, in order to grab Bella’s truck and drop it back off at her house. The old truck was honestly a piece of junk. You don’t care how much Bella liked it, this thing moved so slow. Charlie’s cruiser wasn’t in sight when you pulled up; but another car was. You took the keys out of the truck’s ignition and used the house key to let yourself in.
“Is Bella okay, Charlie?” A man’s voice rang out.
“It’s not Charlie, I’m just here to drop off Bella’s keys!”
“Hmm?”
You placed the keys in the kitchen and then walked over to the living room to show myself. Upon meeting the eyes of Billy Black, you regretted not having just left without saying anything.
“Hey, (Y/N),” Jacob said, sitting next to his dad on the couch.
“Hi, Jacob. Hello, Mr. Black. What are you guys doing here?”
“Watching the game with Charlie before he got called by the hospital. Told us to stay and he’ll be right back.”
“Oh well I was, um, just saying I was here to drop off Bella’s car and her keys. She’s fine. The van did more damage to the truck than anything else. I’ll just be going now, can you tell Bella her keys are on the table.”
“If you dropped off her truck do you need a ride home?” Jacob stood up from the couch.
“Oh, um I don’t know…”
“Jacob, the girl’s fine.” Billy’s eyes never left you.
“It’s fine, dad. I’ll be back in a minute. You ready, (Y/N)?”
Jacob walked past you and his dad and towards the front door. You quickly shuffled past Billy mumbling a ‘nice to meet you’ and walked with Jacob towards his car.
“Did you really just change the station from Rock ‘N Roll Classics for who even is this?” Jake asked as you turned the dial on the radio. You were halfway through the drive.
“I like rock it’s just Aerosmith’s not really my thing. Don’t tell me you’re a genre purist.”
“I’m not a genre purist. I like pop, it’s just Madonna…I don’t know.”
“So you admit you know who this is!” You laughed as Jacob rolled his eyes.
“Okay, yes I know Madonna. Guilty as charged.”
“I knew it,” you said with a satisfied grin. “Pull off here.”
“This is the woods?”
“Yeah, just right here. It’s a road, I can just walk the rest of the way.”
“I’m not letting you walk the woods alone when we’re already this close.”
There was no point in arguing with Jacob. He didn’t know what was really going on in the world around him; and, there was no rational reason you could give for why he shouldn’t drive you all the way home without revealing everything. You just sat back and continued to point him in the direction of the house.
“Woah, nice place,” He said as he pulled up.
“Yeah, Esme really has a thing for design. Thanks for dropping me off Jacob.” You unfastened my seatbelt and got out.
“Eh, it was nothing really.” Jacob looked like he was going to say something else when you could feel Emmett and Jasper come up behind you.
“He was just dropping me back home. I was riding with Bella this morning, remember.”
You knew they could smell the wet dog all throughout the car, evidence of Billy and potentially Jacob’s true nature.
“Thanks again, Jacob.”
He nodded. “Hey, um. I was wondering if you weren’t too busy maybe we could do something next week?”
“I don’t know if that’s such a good idea.” Jasper’s Texan accent slipped out a little.
“Oh whatever, Jas. Here.” you handed Jacob your phone so he could put in his number. “Just text me and we’ll figure something out.”
“Okay. Well, I’ll catch you around. Better get back to my old man. See you later (Y/N).”
You waved as he drove away. Ignoring the slight growls from your brothers, you walked into the house.
“Really, (Y/N)? First the human girl and now a werewolf boy.”
“Potential werewolf boy… well, more shifter if you think about it.”
“Not the point.”

THOUGHTS THOUGHTS THOUGHTS THOUGHTS- Akjsdhfaksljhflka Exam season ended earlier than i thought so it's time to poke for details! 
I gotta start off with me kicking my feet over my shared theories from last time. They weren’t fully right but AAAA
The fact that Thawed!Reader was a distraction to Lyney and Father leaving her alone all this time…asjkghhsgaf Her just casually mentioning, ‘oh yeah, I knew she couldn’t have gone far’... And her implying that she had already had a plan to deal with this type of situation before Aether interfered just says so much about her character. I wonder how different it was going to be, because it seemed like she was just going to leave T!Reader be until she actually interfered like now. Maybe use the potion still? Relocation? Her character both in general and here makes it seem like she wouldn’t just kill her without a second thought. 
Also, I like to imagine the research she did into Rosalie was not only to come up with a plan as to what to do now that there were new variables, but to make sure her child was at least going to be ok under Rosalie’s care. After her not-a-answer answer…. Adlkfhjasldkfjlaks Father cares in her weird way it's fine, don't worry.
I love the inclusion of the potion from her story quest by the way! I think it adds a more devastating twist than what I originally thought may have been on the line, like her life. Like, Thawed!Reader would be perfectly fine, but not only does she lose memories of all the recent (and previous) memories such as any positive moments with Aether or her familial connection with Rosalie, but also people who deeply care about her (Rosalie, our fauti trio, maybe aether and paimon?) suddenly lose their friend since her identity is so closely tied to being a part of the Fauti. From being one to becoming a runaway one, almost every action she has taken till now has been influenced by her past and if she accepts then it's all gone. I know you mentioned that Lyney would absolutely still chase after Thawed!Reader even if she took the potion and he had to start from the beginning(which absolutely see it ashdlaksh) but there is absolutely no way he wouldn’t feel any short of hurt by that. Even as he tries to woo her for a third time, he’s going to be holding on to memories he can’t tell her about for multiple reasons. Experiences he adores like sparing but she may not be able to do any more. 
(Speaking of the potion, i do have my own theories on what may happen with everyone involving that… but i’ll share that in a separate ask.)
The Knave’s and Rosalie interaction was so nice; both sets of parents really do be fighting huh. But while T!Reader’s and Lyney’s was a bit more high strung, the other parents feels a bit more like understanding each other. Not that they like it, i mean, look at Rosalie. It felt like two different parents trying to co-parent, if that makes sense? I mean, like I mentioned before, if the Knave really wanted to, she could have just killed T!Reader and even Rosalie and be done with it. But besides wanting Rosalie to act as bait; she mostly had a calm discussion, and seemed to keep Rosalie’s feelings in mind as a fellow parent of this kid. I mean, she even reined in the soldiers when they lashed out at our favorite flower shop owner in their blind loyalty. And her kinda silent approval at Rosalie’s answer about the potion? Why is the set of parents that includes a harbinger having the calmer convo? (Gotta ask as well! What flower did Father give Maman? Despite the meanings, I do think that considering her ascension materials, it may have been a rainbow rose. But if we consider other Fontaine flowers, Lumiose bells also fit well! And Romaritime flowers sadfasfasdf…) 
As for T!Reader and Lyney- akdfjalskjf THE PARENTS REALLY DO BE FIGHTING HERE! Dear god the tension rising in the situation, T!Reader is blinded by worry and anger while Lyney is partly blinded by love and his want to help. Paimon, Aether and Lynette are the audience at this point (although, gotta say, love the explanation to how they know there T!Reader lives! Despite how she’s acting now in the context of Rosalie being kidnapped, it was a perfect compromise to deliver the gift but let T!Reader keep some form of privacy. Too bad it is also working against the twins in this moment with  Arlecchino’s plans. Plus, they may have found out anyway due to the fact their crew of workers had also seen T!Reader around Fontaine in the past. All it would take was one of the workers going to Rosalie’s shop while T!Reader was working.)
Lyney almost said love!! My man had a confession moment!! Too bad that it was in the middle of a fight. That whole conversation had layers I want to poke at for more information. Lyney’s automatic confirmation of betraying Father for T!Reader, her calling Rosalie her mother to everyone, Aether’s hurt at her blaming him, T!Readers fixation on the fact that; from her point of view; Lyney is only taking and taking and taking.But it's her exit that caught my eye the most. It felt like a really cool parallel from back in chapter three when T!Reader gained her vision. 
Both times T!Reader was upset and angry, and Lyney comes in as both connected to the source of her problems as well as someone who just wants to help her. Both times she lashes out at people (the fight/freezing during the first and the cruel words plus biting cold in the second). And both times she walks away leaving behind a barrier of ice (technically it was a door covered in some ice in the second fight but shh we’re still counting it).
I wonder if Lyney also recognized the parallels as well, since his tone switched from stubborn and confident to weak pleading the moment T!Reader starting walking away! Just the echoes of it, I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in lyney’s thought process was just like ‘not again, please not again’. All the effort and care he took into trying to not scare her off again just went down the drain by Arelcchino’s actions, and just like before, he’s unable to convince her to stay and let him help. However, this time, he has a lead in the form having some knowledge on Father’s methods as well as knowing that T!Reader is going to try and go after her to get Rosalie. And I’d be willing to bet money that he’s going to latch onto that and not let go. 
Also, remember how my first ask mentioned aether being a deadman once lyney found out that he blackmailed Thawed!Reader? Yeah I think we’re at that point, we’re gonna see this man go feral like he did in the fortress. Not to mention Rosalie and (maybe) Arlecchino’s reaction. I doubt Arlecchino will actually do something since the potion is already her plan but I’m sure she’s curious about how the traveler pushed up the timeline. And I doubt Rosalie is gonna be a happy maman once she learns why her daughter started hanging out with the Outlander. 
P.S, totally for absolutely no reason in particular… how do you feel about fanfics of your fanfics?
-deadman aether anon
HHEHEHE IM SO GLAD U STOPPED APOLOGIZING FOR LONG ASKS its about time…. WE LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!!
- father does care!!!!! and it shows even in canon lore!!!!!!! ofc the children wont have it easy and they wont be spoiled rotten with affection but i think thats what makes arlecchinos way of doing things even more special and i rlly wanted to incorporate that here toooo
- yesss:( mc’s entire identity is VERY tied to her “past” as a fatuus! of course lyney wouldnt be happy about mc forgetting everything that made their relationship, because what they had was very special to him!! (and i would love to hear that potion train of thought)
- i think i didnt write it clear enough which is my fault! but the flower i was hoping to hint that arlecchino was giving to rosalie was the “Snezhnayan” flower that Arle bought from her a few chapters ago. fun fact i didnt want to assume to whatever hyv had planned for snezhnaya flowers, but i wanted it to be a flower that had originated from khaenriah but still became relevant to snezhnaya. so to rosalie, it was just an imported flower, but it was one that was unique enough to make her remember whoever bought it!
- and yes HAGSHAHA i found it hilarious to write in that rosalie and arlecchino would have a calm meeting while lyney and mc are a mess and a half. i think it shows that they both have a long way to go before they reach the same level as the other two:)))
- THE PARALLEL!!!! YUUPPPPPPP i wanted to reference it in the next chapter too in case people didnt realize it but im glad u caught it BAHAHAA
- i guess we will find out if aether truly will be a dead man next chapter…. Didnt even get the chance to reunite with his sister ohhh poor boy. this is why u dont blackmail someone! learn from aether, everyone
- ALSOHELLO??? fanfics of my fanfics? oh. PLEASE. hello. YES! i would absolutely love to see how people interpret my series and the characters within them:( that would be such a joy!!!!!! but i also just want to see how people think of thawed!lyney HAHAHHA

Burning Sun: Chapter 7
Tumblr media
Pairing: Rosalie Hale x (Fem!)Reader
Summary: You've seen her in the school halls, the cafeteria, anywhere really. You, for the longest time, hoped... Wanted to be noticed by Rosalie Hale. However, you give up when you realize it was getting you nowhere... Throughout high school and just some time after the high school years, Rosalie’s true feelings come to fruition.
Chapter Warnings: Light-Angst, Light-NSFW
Chapter Theme: The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance 
Key: Italics = Thought, +*+ = Time Skip, Bold/Italic = Thought but out loud
A/n: None
--------------------------------------------------------------
“I’m...” Rosalie begins
As she looks at you, the anxiety builds as you hold her gaze...
“I’m a vampire y/n...” Rosalie finally confesses
You just stand right in front of her, not moving an inch.
“No shit Rosalie,” You say, no tone in your voice
Rosalie looks at you; absolutely dumbfounded. It wasn’t the response she was expecting.
“You never eat when you’re around me nor my friends, when I hugged you back when I was the only person at your sleepover; how I realized you were absolutely freezing to the touch,” You explain, “I saw how your golden eyes illuminated in the shitty school lights, and how pale your skin was compared to some of my pale friends....”
“W-wait Y/n, I don’t get it... You’re saying-”
“I knew the entire time,” You confess
“Why-Why didn’t you say anything then?!” She asks
“I wanted you to be the one to tell me,” You answer, “But, you never did so... I didn’t say anything. Plus, I didn’t say anything out of fear that I would be killed for knowing.”
“Hah, you’re dumb,” Rosalie continues to play the stubborn blonde, “My family wouldn’t kill you. We’d... Simply welcome you into the family... Like they did with Bella...”
“Makes sense since she’s around Edward a lot of the time,” You reply
“You wouldn’t want to be around vampires Y/n, you’d be playing a dangerous game,” Rosalie continues, “I’m already tired of being roped into one thanks to Bella...”
“Can’t help that you’re always coming back around to me,” You sigh under your breath
In the brink of a second, your back hits the bed mattress, wrists pinned to both sides of your head. 
“It’s not my fault that I find myself unable to stay away from you, no matter how far you are from Forks,” She growls
“How am I irresistible to you?” You ask, attempting to break free frothier hold, “I was the LEAST popular kid in that entire school.”
“Because you excite me!” She confesses
*Rosalie’s POV* You could hear the blood rushing to her cheeks, turning them a shade of pink. 
“H-how do I excite you?” She asks
“You were willing to do things for me despite some situations put you in danger,” You say
It’s your blood... I want to taste it... So damn bad...
But you knew it would drive you absolutely insane if you tried to taste her blood. You were resisting out of fear of killing her. 
“Come on, all crazy asses did shit for people they cared about,” She scoffs
“But last night, at the race, you stood up for me,” You bring up, “If you really didn’t care about me you wouldn’t have done anything.” 
“That was my chivalric ass,” She continues making up excuses
“Liar,” You say, “I know you feel something for me...”
“Fuck you,” She says 
She lifts her head to attach her lips to yours. You sigh as you lean your head down as Y/n puts her head back onto the bed. You take your hands off of Y/n’s wrists to wrap around her head. 
“Feisty aren’t you?” You ask, smirking
“Shut up,” She replies, panting for air
+*+
You wished you could have limited stamina again. 
Falling asleep in your embrace would be the best feeling in the world...
“You can always pretend to sleep you know,” Y/n wakes
“But, it’s not the same as actually sleeping,” You chuckle
 “I know but, the feeling would be there right?” She asks
“I don’t know, been by myself for a long time,” You say
“Hmm...” She hums, “Come on...”
She switches onto her backs she swoops you into her embrace.
“Here,” She says, “How about that?”
Absolute bliss...
You close your eyes as you let your focus go to Y/n’s heartbeat. You sigh as you felt her fingers trail through your hair. 
“What do you want to do today?” She asks
“Don’t you have assignments due?” You ask
“I do but I also think we have to get you back to Forks, I’m pretty sure your family is worried about you.” She says
“I can hunt on my own for a few days,” You sigh
“You’re in the concrete jungle.” Y/n tells you, “There’s nothing but humans here.” 
You didn’t want to admit but she was right, you were on a college campus with hundreds if not thousands of humans...
“You’re right,” You sigh
You begin getting up to get yourself ready to go, but Y/n drags you right back into her.
“Who said we need to leave now?” She asks, smiling
+*+
*Y/n’s POV* Eventually you felt overheated underneath the blankets and began going through your remaining schoolwork for the week. 
“I’ll be done with this in about ten minutes and then we can begin driving back to Forks,” You tell Rosalie
The entire time Rosalie was sitting around your apartment whilst you continued to work through assignments early before the week began. 
+*+
Even though you barely did anything throughout the day other than sitting at your laptop all day, you were exhausted. 
“If at any point you want me to drive you can,” Rosalie tells you, “I don’t need sleep.”
“We’re about halfway through the drive already and you’re the one being dropped off so, would look absolutely stupid if we arrived to your place and I’m the one in the driver’s seat,” You chuckle
It was mostly an awkward silence after your last statement. 
“Rosalie,” You call to her
“Hmm?” She replies, not taking her eyes off of the setting sun underneath the treeline
You turn your head to look at her for a second, but you saw the sparkle against her skin. You turn your head back to focus on the road.
“Why didn’t you ever tell me that you were a vampire?” You ask, “We’ve had many one on ones.”
“It’s complicated,” She says, “There are other vampires that hold a higher status over my family and... They would kill anyone and everyone who knows of our existence...”
“Down with the hierarchy,” You chuckle, trying to joke
“You don’t understand how powerful they are, especially with their guard,” Rosalie’s tone turns serious, “They would absolutely annihilate you and my family.”
“Alright alright, point taken,” You put your hand on her thigh
Rosalie jolts her head to your hand. You knew you felt her eyes stinging through your head.
“S-sorry,” You clear your throat, taking your hand away
“How long have you known?” She asks
*Rosalie’s POV* You were trying to prevent yourself from freaking out... Like you did on Royce and his friends the night you almost died. So, you just simply asked a different question. 
“Awhile,” She answers, “Almost four years at least...”
“You... You didn’t tell anyone right?” You ask
“I didn’t. Like I said, I waited for you to tell me so I kept quiet about it,” She reiterates 
+*+
*Y/n’s POV* As you put your car in park, you stare at Rosalie as she does the same for you. 
“Thanks for... Standing up for me,” Rosalie breaks the silence
“Anything for you,” You answer
Rosalie leans forward, leaning over the console.
“Rose... What are you doing?” You ask, slowly, but unknowingly leaning forward
“One last thing before I leave,” She smiles
Oh... A kiss...
But, you let it come. You don’t stop it, and you don't push her away. You welcome it.... Like an old friend. Rosalie pulls herself away to let you process the gesture. 
“Oh Rosalie,” You sigh
You lean back towards her: catching her lips. 
“I’m-I’m willing to try,” You say between kisses
“What?” She asks, pulling away to let you breathe
“I’m willing to try us,” You repeat, “But, I need to know if you’re willing to try too.”
*Rosalie’s POV* Almost instantly you nod your head, smiling as you lean forward again, kissing Y/n.
“I’ve missed this so much,” You confess
Y/n chuckles as she gives you a lighter kiss.
“I think your family is waiting for you, your dad especially,” Y/n sighs in disappointment
You look out the front windshield and there they were” Carlisle and Esme, standing in the headlights of Y/n’s car.
“You’re welcome in my place anytime Rose,” Y/n half-smiles
“Thanks Y/n, I’ll see you later,” You pull yourself away unwillingly
*Y/n’s POV* You watch as Rosalie exits your car and up the stairs to her forest mansion. 
Maybe... It will be different this time.

Rosalee was already my favorite, solely because I love and adore Riley Keogh, but her being a Daddy’s girl and Margaret Qualley’s twin absolutely cements it for me. Can’t wait to know her a bit more. Questions below ⬇️
Is Elvis aware that he’s Rosalee’s entire world and does that scare the shit out of him? When did this connection start, does she come out the womb searching for her Daddy? Does she help Jack in his cock-blocking quests? What’s her relationship like with Daisy? How does she deal with her Dad being gone a lot in the ‘70’s and his constant hospital stays during those days? And lastly, how does Elaine feel about Rosalee’s close relationship to Elvis, not because she’d be jealous, but I imagine as a mother she worries for Rosalee a lot as Elvis goes down a dark path.
Gentle reminder, I’m abandoning this blog, I can now be found at @precious-lil-scoundrel
I love that you love her. Really, it just fills me with such joy.
Tumblr media
I’m pretty sure this is the baby who comes out and maybe he catches her, maybe he’s actually there for that brith, who knows but either way she when baby Rosalee meets Elvis’ chest and is cradled to his heart -she’s met her soulmate.
They both need and love the same way and yes, it scares him shitless at times and when he’s being an ass, her tearful hurt cuts him deeper than any other failing in his life. But they also require so little to get back into their groove, forgiving each other and making time for each other and knowing the other just needs peace sometimes. His being gone is very hard on her, she tries to follow him around a decent amount like the rest of the children do, and it’s beyond disheartening for her to lose him and they are more heartfelt connection to the drugs. Eventually she is very key and bringing him back after the divorce.
These two are the best at naps and cuddles book reading and hammock sessions. Even into her adulthood. And that never changes.
Her relationship with Daisy is very interesting as Daisy is by far the most independent child, she’s also brutally blunt and his little interest in keeping up appearances -harmony and peace are not her forte and she’s not uncomfortable in a Contentious environment, so long as the truth is coming out. Which is the exact opposite of what Rosalee enjoys. However loyalty is Daisy’s love language, and she will kill to maintain Rosalie’s equanimity, while Rosalee provides a much needed neutral ear for Daisy’s antics and ambitions. So they are complementary in that way, due to their love for each other and a certain amount of selflessness no matter what.
Lastly I love figuring out Elaine‘s perspective and relationship with Rosalee. Due to Daisy‘s wild antics, Elaine has little fear of Rosalee following her down their Daddys path, but she can tell what the semi-abandonment has done to her. Of any of the kids, Rosalee definitely sides with her dad during the divorce. Can’t make any sense of why her mama is suddenly choosing to no longer support him when he’s down so bad.
I can’t wait to finally resolve that rift as well. Thank you so much for such a awesome ask. 🥰

twilight • eclipse
Tumblr media
10/10
i adored eclipse, what a massive step up from flop moon.
we had action, more character backstories, more bella & edward content victorias long awaited death.. like let me get into it;
1. rosalie is so dommy mommy, the entire sequence of her telling bella her backstory, as well as the fact that she CARRIED emmett after he got mauled by an ACTUAL bear?? that’s fucking crazy. like the bitch is strong as fuck and that’s so hot. (rosalie top me challenge: very easy actually)
2. bella punching jacob (despite breaking her hand as result) she girlbossed very hard with that, as well as edward being willing to beat the shit out of jacob but not doing it because he wouldn’t hurt bella like that (im swooning)
3. the training sequence. i love me some jasper x alice moments, and i live a good training sequence so i was eating good with that
3.5 the werewolves & the cullens teaming up
4. the final battle between victoria and that 1 random dude she recruited and their army of newborns. i lived for it, the action tickled my neurodivergent brain just right.
5. bella being the bigger person. despite being a jacob hater i will admit here; she did see a life with him, a future as well as telling him she does love him (somehow) but was mature enough to be like ‘hey dude, i do love you, but im choosing edward & i always will.’ (clearly not what she said in those exact words)
6. bella accepting edward’s proposal, as well as letting alice both plan the wedding (with hesitation but still) and choosing her to be her bridesmaid. (i was a little more than giddy for all of this happening)
now my complaints, i’m keeping it short this time because i really don’t have much to say negatively about this book;
1. stephanie referring to jacob with a whole indigenous slur (i was gagged)
2. the pedophilic nature of imprinting, we all know about this, i can’t be asked to delve further into it (see you in my breaking dawn review later)
3. jacob assaulting bella & later manipulating her into kissing him again when she didn’t want to, threatening his life to do so. i truly mourn for the sweet character jacob was before he turned, if only stephanie didn’t make him such a cunt (derogatory)
4. charlie being team jacob, that’s his 1 and only red flag
5. jasper being a confederate soldier is crazy
~ end of complaints segment ~
eclipse is that bitch, i fear. not even the complaints i have about it could change my rating. so far its definitely my favorite of the books in the series, and that will be a very hard crown to take (if it can be taken)
obligatory ‘fuck stephanie meyer’
& lastly, a mildly irrelevant closing statement: i need a gf who loves me the way edward loves bella

Glad That’s Over
(Chris Suffers Through Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 for the First and Last Time)
ok last one thank god lol
this budget looks BIG
UH OH the credits say the Vampiric Council is back yikessss
Lee Pace??? Rami Malek??? DAYUM
I actually know like zero plot points we’re gonna see in here so my mind is wide open
Wtf I didn’t know Forks had Yosemite….
she just TACKLED a MOUNTAIN LION JESUS
oh okay wow so she’s just automatically good at everything I see
Okay yes I’m DEF gonna bd having problems w this baby, like the massive budget of this film and they can’t even cgi a normal looking kid or get a real baby for this stage
Jacob is such a mom
YEAH BELLA GET MAD THIS IS CREEPY
Lmao Edward w heart eyes like “she’s amazing right look at my wife”
YOU NAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER???? HOLY SHIT LINE OF ALL TIME
Why is Rosalie so obsessed w this baby though
She oughta check in with her parents soon eh
So interested in what their vampire sex is like but also I feel like that’s not my business at all and have no desire to see it
Oh damn lol the fangirlies def went feral over this one in theatres
Lmfao Jacob just stripping in front of Charlie like same tbh but this is hilarious
I do appreciate Jacob letting the cat out of the bag though
This was a dumb conversation just tell him
Bella he’s gonna wonder in a few years why you haven’t aged at all
This goddamn baby he’s obviously gonna figure out where SHE came from
Or maybe not lol
Yeah if I was Charlie I’d be pissed after all that
What did they do wrong why are they in trouble
Immortal Child omg what is that ohhhhhh
Lol Jacob speaking logic like “just tell the volturi they got the wrong idea” and everyone’s like “nah anyway how are we gonna fight”
Alice and jasper peacing out okay???
ohhhh convenient the kid can show people her memories eh
Ok so we got rami here as a waterbender
Oh shit he’s the AVATAR
So yeah I don’t actually know what’s happening
Okay Lee pace. Still confused.
I’m just so bored by all of this the whole series should have ended after the first cutesie half hour of this movie
Anyway all this attempt at like woke international vampires is like near-Harry potter levels of lazy racism…
Alice only told Bella her message bc they love each other actually,
so WHY are they abandoning their daughter??
Are we… gonna get an explanation of how renesmee even exists?
Anyway so if Bella’s a shield that STILL doesn’t explain how she was one before she was a vampire??
Now Alice is back bc sure I guess
Like this ENTIRE last hour of the movie is just unnecessary
Oh fuck and now Carlisle’s dead like come the fuck on
Another one bites the dust
Why are they even fighting? I fucking forgot bc the stakes are really SO low
Idk who any of the dying wolves are sorry am I supposed to be able to tell them apart??
I am not emotionally invested in the outcome of this fight At All
Just fighting to break each others necks k
WHAT THE FUCK THAT WAS ALL NOT EVEN REAL. BIGGEST WASTE OF MY TIME EVER
oh jeez are they sending renesmee to live in the Amazon or
Oh slay
This weird little walk down memory lane amv? Also unnecessary but I mean yeah I guess the fans would be into it
Cool that she can like…. Unshield?? Obvs we won’t get a real explanation for that either lol
Amazing that I’ve seen this couple for 5 whole movies and still don’t care about their relationship at all
A thousand years IS an appropriate song to end on though I’ll give it that
Okay yeah I mean I’m glad to know what happens but this whole movie kind of sucked it didn’t need to exist tbh
Glad it’s over
Overall? Interesting franchise. It was whatever but it did kind of hold my interest enough. Will I ever understand why it was such a huge fandom phenomenon? No lol let’s get teen girls crazy about HEALTHY relationship dynamics next time

For the ask - I really just want to copy and paste the entirety of the interrogation scene but since I can’t this bit really sticks out to me:
“She paused, then added, “but on the other hand, the cruellest you ever got before Ascending was when we fought over Cazador and then… well… you kind of did it, didn’t you? I basically lost that argument. If that’s what we fought about before, and then it just happened, it wasn’t like we could make up.”
Astarion was still watching her. Gods, she needed to make sure she was saying the right thing.
“And you were the one who was always telling me to be less selfless,” Rose offered, as a last resort. “And well, you know, staying with you just to be yelled at and degraded is perhaps the most selfless thing I could do, but you used to never want that from me. It used to annoy you, more than anything. I don’t know, I thought I was honouring you in a way… well, you know, not you. The lessons you taught me. Before-”
“Before I changed,” he said, a dangerous note in his voice. “The other me.”
“Um... just to check, do you prefer to think of yourself as two separate people, or is that actually the case, metaphysically?” Rosalie said nervously. As he glared at her, she clarified: “it would be useful to know, more generally, but mostly I’m asking because I just want to make sure you’re not upset, or if I’m being unfair to you. I don’t want to hold you to standards that you’re simply not capable of reaching.”
“I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” he said with a wave of his hand.
Thank you for wanting to play the ask game! :) x
So, it's one of the only pieces of drama (except for... *gestures at the general trauma congaline that is Act 3*) in An Honest Lie so I won't go into laborious detail, but Rosalie was obviously horrified that Astarion ever wanted to appropriate the Black Mass in the first place. Even the death of his siblings is too much for her (given that she values family, but also wants him to have some kind of a family survive in tact). When Astarion argues that none of the spawn or his siblings are worth saving as they all have blood on their hand, she just assumes he's also talking about himself.
In the 'canon' playthrough fic (or in the fic, someday soon), she actually gives Astarion the silent treatment over this conversation, which is how you know shit has gotten real lmfao. So writing the timeline where she lost that argument has been amusing to say the least. We'll see how that argument unfolds in real time in the other story ;)
Writing a charmed pov was super interesting because of the parameters of the vampiric charmed spell. The exact text was: The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can - this means that at certain points, where the real Rosalie would've just left the room, she had to search for a favourable take on the situation, even if (given the circumstances) it occasionally strains her credulity and her ability to censor herself, meaning she does let a couple of bitchy things sneak through.
In the case of the section quoted here, Rosalie is just trying to appease Astarion however she can, but the 'trusted friend to be heeded and protected' also influences the conversation. She cannot find anything to heed in the current Astarion's words, so she reaches into the past, to the times he complained about her being selfish, and argues she's heeding those instead. That is the version of him that was a trusted friend, so that's what comes most easily to the fore of her mind.
"“it would be useful to know, more generally, but mostly I’m asking because I just want to make sure you’re not upset, or if I’m being unfair to you." - Rosalie, when charmed, is genuinely trying not to hurt Astarion if she can help it, and that's why she asks if he's not the same person he was before. The intellectual part of her - the part that frees her from the charm eventually - is fishing for information (absolutely it is!) but her guilt about 'making' Astarion this way and then punishing him for it is also absolutely real.
As to why Astarion cuts her off and in response to whether Astarion is metaphysically two different people before and after the Mass - [REDACTED]

I really think that if Bella DID die in NM and Rose DIDN'T tell Edward then when Ed inevitably found out anyway Ed would hate Rose for not telling him. So she's screwed either way. And as you said, Alice KNEW that Bella was alive but didn't tell Ed immediately? I've always maintained that Alice WANTED Ed to go to Italy so that all of the climax could happen and Alice could keep her Bella Doll when Bella and Ed made up. If Ed knew that Bella was alive, he would have left Bella alone still.
That’s a really fun in-universe answer! That Alice ‘saw’ this was the way to get the outcome she wanted (Edward coming back, Bella as a future vampire and best friend) and so deliberately didn’t call and tell Rose or Jasper or whoever that Bella is alive. I kind of love the idea of Alice as this sort of inhumanly amoral character, where yes she’s overall nice and cheerful and wants ‘the best’ for people, but she’s so shaped by her own gift and lack of human memory that she really doesn’t see anything wrong with helping along her version of what ‘the best’ is. 
Realistically, though, I always felt like this whole “Alice didn’t tell anyone Bella was alive for two days” was just a function of SM’s plot-focused decisions and the habit of kind of . . . forgetting the side characters exist when they aren’t right there. 
I mean, logically, if you thought a friend was dead and you told your family and then rushed off to help that friend’s father deal with the aftermath and you got there and you found out the friend is IN FACT ALIVE wouldn’t the VERY first thing you’d do be call your family (or at least your SIGNIFICANT OTHER) and tell them that this person actually IS alive? I know Alice doesn’t remember what it is to be human but you don’t have to be human to realize “I should tell people!” 
I think things were SO Bella focused that it never even occurred to SM that Alice should tell the other Cullens that Bella was alive in the TWO DAYS Alice was in Forks. Because the other Cullens don’t really exist until SM needs them for something (Rosalie calling Edward). It’s the same reason that Carlisle didn’t call Aro and tell him to like, keep Edward safe in a room somewhere and Carlisle was coming to get him. They can’t have any agency outside the E/B drama because it’s not about them. It’s about E/B and in this case the Romeo and Juliet plot. There’s no role for them to play here so they just sort of blink out of existence until SM needs to throw someone under the bus (hi, Rosalie!). 
I think if we pressed SM for the WHY of these things she could come up with some answers (”Alice did call and left Jasper a message but he and Emmett were wrestling and broke Jasper’s phone and Alice didn’t see it because Jacob was nearby and it was scrambling her visions!”  “Carlisle didn’t have Aro’s direct number and got the human secretary who didn’t know who he was and refused to put him through!”) but they’d pretty clearly be after-the-fact justifications because the real reason was “because the Romeo and Juliet miscommunication needs to happen and they have to go to Verona Volterra” or even just “whoops didn’t think of it.” 
But looking for a strictly in-universe reason for why Alice apparently didn’t call pretty much inevitably leads to Alice manipulating the situation to get the outcome she wanted (”I’m gonna steal a Porsche and it’s going to be epic!”) or else just . . . really, really, REALLY not understanding human communication like, at all, which doesn’t seem to be the case in the rest of the series.

Hey hey! Currently reading through Where the Heart is saga. I adore the first story and the second one is great. I got caught up reading the first 20 chapters of love beyond and sobbing through those which prompted me to read the first two because I can’t live in a world where Rosalie isn’t. Rereading this has me wanting to ask if you have any outtakes or one shots from the time in which Emmett and Rosalie are together? Luckily I found the outtake on archive but I just love these two together, and I love the way you wrote my two favorite Cullens. I also adore Emmett and Rosalie with a family. Just curious and as always, thank you for sharing your wonderful work with the rest of us! 💕
Thank you!
I really loved writing Where the Heart Is, and it's always made me really happy to hear about people reading and rereading it. I never set out to write a whole series, but the characters were so great that it was like the whole world just existed inside my head - I didn't have to make it up, I just had to wait for them to tell me.
Actually, Where the Heart Is Now was written because I was talking to someone about the first one and she said that she was so invested in them that she almost wanted me to just write regular updates on what they were doing in their life. The whole comment made me laugh, but then the idea of Esme writing a Christmas round-robin newsletter to go out with her cards and putting a very Esme positive spin on Alice's teen pregnancy just popped into my head fully formed and so away I went. And while I'd never been particularly focused on writing sequels, I really enjoyed seeing how they grew up and how everything I'd written before made sense of how they felt and behaved in new situations.
Love Beyond is always kind of a weird one though. In some ways I love it - I do think it's pretty well written (I mean, the angst is absolutely crushing) and the process of writing and posting it on a schedule became a touchstone that really got me through that first horrible covid year. I'll always love it just for that. At the same time, I almost think of it as fanfic of my fanfic - it's not a REAL part of the Where the Heart Is world, it's just made up! Emmett and Rosalie and that ridiculous herd of children are still living happily ever after and will have wonderful lives together! I mean I do always like people to read my stuff and talk to me about it, but I really understand the (lots!) of people who tapped out on Love Beyond.
I don't have any other outtakes for it though, sorry. At the moment I'm working on a Rosalie/Eleanor story - it's slow going, but it turns out when I said Emmett and Rosalie are my thing in every version and every universe it encompasses this too.

can u do a headcanon for emmett, jasper, alice, and rosalie if they had a crush like how’d they act
Oh my gosh this is so cute! This is going to depend on the situation but I will try my best
Emmett
Emmett is the one out of everyone that regardless of what you human, vampire, fairy, whatever. He is going to do his best to get to know you
He is our himbo king but he isn’t dumb enough to know that with you being human not being a vampire you and him can’t really be a thing
He would probably ask Jasper how you feel so he isn’t coming off as a jerk
Unfortunately unless you figure out what he is and say you wish you could also be like him he isn’t going to do much but try and be friends with you
Now if you’re a vampire…he’s going all out
Flowers for you every day and he will remember your favorite one
When he asks to go out on a date with you he’s going to figure out the most romantic way to ask you like the date of your dreams
A total gentleman the whole time. Going to enjoy the human charade this once and then if you want to run off and enjoy a human juice pouch he will gladly follow
Rosalie
Unlike her siblings she’s not doing anything
ESPECIALLY if you’re human she’s on team move because she’s going t look like she hates you everytime she is nearby
Which she convinces herself she does because she has to justify her emotions somehow
However for funsies we will say you run into some trouble and a vampire bites you and is about to unalive you. The Cullens hear you scream and rush to help you before it’s too late
They make it in time to save your from dying but not from turning. Rose is apologizing from the start for what you have to go through
You aren’t really realizing the big deal, until she takes you hunting
She warns you to stay with her oh sorry her family you would have to do the vegetarian diet
You kinda go off on your own for awhile and Rosalie is pissedddd but to be fair you thought she hated you for just existing
Surprise she decides to check in and see how you’re doing, you two almost kill eachother because she doesn’t know how to deal with her feelings and starts being a bit condescending and you ask her what the hell her problem is
Your newborn strength and the fact your drinking actual blood helps you pin her but her years of experience help her get on top of you. Before either of you knows what’s happening she presses her lips against yours
She pulls herself back and runs off leaving you in the ground dazed and stunned you go back to the cullens to try and figure out what the hell happened and she stops you before you make it with it a mile of their house. Grabbing you by the collar and pulling you in again.
After this you two finally decide to actually talk to eachother and figure out where to go from there
Also if you’re already a vampire the story stays the same except you probably visit Carlisle and she makes a comment there instead
Jasper
If youre human again hes staying away from you. 
If he hurt you in any capacity he would go full edward and wish he could end eternity
I would say hes drawn initially by your aura, he sees and feels how genuinely kind you are
He is absofuckinglutely using his gift to test out if you feel any kind of interest in him at all and if he figures out youre curious about him hes pulling the southern charm
Escorting you everywhere by the arm
Asking all about your life and your experiences
Super Super shy to tell you anything about his past because it is EMBARRASING
You get alot of flowers ALOT of flowers and this before the first date
hes going to properly impress you before he even thinks of asking you out... is what hes saying to himself because hes afraid you are just being nice and he cant differentiate what hes feeling versus what your feelings
Will probably just keep being extra loving to you until you tell him you are interested
but he is literally screaming inside to tell you he is just waiting on you
Alice
Similar to Emmett she is going to talk to you one way or another. 
HOWEVER, if she cant see you no matter how interesting she finds you she will dip
Shes never not had her gift (this is pre bella) and it would stress her out and post Bella she doesnt want any more blind spots
She wants to see the best way to approach you and will just shockingly be super interested in everything you are or conveniently wherever you are
Edward has ruined her
You act kind of weirded out, which you should be, shes basically stalking you and acting surprised you arent happy about it
Your reactions even in her visions are miscontrued and when she sees youre unhappy she freaks out
She avoids you for awhile and while you thought she was cute before she started following you everywhere you are relieved she isnt following you everywhere
She decides to start listening to her other siblings much to edwards dismay
She tries to approach you one more time and ask what she did wrong and you really are going to have to tell her why she cant just show up in front of people
Alice does not like not getting her way and will probably ask if she can have another chance and what she can do to redeem herself
Will try really really hard to win you over the right way and is even more taken by the way you take charge instead of blindly following whatever she says

Flufftober
                                                    I’ve got you
I stared at the water nervously. I was already somewhat regretting letting Alice convince me to come on her family’s vacation. It wasn’t a free vacation I objected to, I’m not crazy, it was just that the vacation was on a large fancy yacht and I couldn’t swim. Alice had assured me that the boat was safe and was up to date on every maintenance check. However it still took Alice and our other friend Rosalie, a whole week to convince me to go. 
So far I had been having a bit of fun, despite religiously steering clear of the railings—there was no need to tempt fate. And it wasn’t like it was just the Cullen’s, Alice, Rose and I. Alice’s brothers Emmett and Edward had invited two friends as well. Edward had invited Jasper—Alice’s boyfriend—and Ben, who were his best friends. And Emmett, who Rose was currently seeing, had invited Tyler and James. 
I didn’t care for the latter two; they didn’t seem to understand boundaries and I had already overheard Esme and Carlisle tell Emmett he wasn’t welcome to invite those boys on vacation again. 
Currently the yacht was stopped and the boys were on the swimming deck. Alice and Rose were still changing into their swimwear—well actually they were waxing each other before joining everyone, because apparently, I was the only one who thought to get a full body wax before we boarded. 
“Boys! Come help me plate the food!” Esme called. 
Edward and Emmett groaned. Their mother Esme was a very well known local chef who owned her own upscale restaurant called ‘Isle Esme’. The restaurant was known for its elaborate plating as well as its excellent food. 
I looked over to the deck where Jasper and Ben had just gotten out of the water too and were now towelling off. James and Tyler were still in the water but were leisurely making their way over to the deck. 
I got up from the chair I was sitting on and crossed over to the cooler to grab a soda. 
“Hey Bella! Grab me a Coke will you?” James called out, smirking and elbowing Tyler who snickered as he towelled his hair off. 
I rolled my eyes; I really could care less about whatever those two idiots found funny. I grabbed the second can and walked over to James holding it out for him to take with a bored expression. 
James reached out and at the last minute grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. “Hey!” I shouted, dropping both the cans. 
“Tyler, grab her feet!” he shouted. Tyler immediately ran to comply despite my vociferous protests and attempts to kick his hands away. 
“This isn’t funny! Let me go!” I shouted, beginning to panic as they lifted me and began walking towards the end of the deck. 
“Hey! Let her go! That’s not cool!” Jasper shouted. I heard Ben run inside calling for Esme and Carlisle. 
“Oh, come on! Lighten up, we’re just taking her for a swim!” James shouted. 
Panic rose in my chest and I began struggling harder. “Let me go! I can’t swim! Let me go!” I screamed, to no avail. The two assholes began swinging me back and forth as if I was a park swing. 
“LET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW DAMNIT! THIS ISN’T FUNNY YOU BASTARDS! I CAN’T SWIM!” I shouted as my eyes began to tear. I was going to kill these idiots when they put me down. 
“You hear that Ty? She wants us to put her down, what do you say?” James jeered. 
“Well what the lady wants, the lady gets!” 
For a second I felt overwhelming relief until they began to swing me again. “What are you doing!?” I cried.
“Putting you down!” they shouted in unison before throwing me with full force into the air. 
I let out a blood curdling scream and twisted around in the air, tears blurring my vision. In the next moment I felt my head forcefully strike against something before I was submerged in water, in my dazed panic I attempted to take a breath before water filled my lungs. Then I began to panic even more as I choked on the seawater. My vision blurred at the edges. I struggled for what felt like an eternity before the blackness took over. The last thing I registered before blacking out was something grabbing my waist and towing me upwards.
~~~
I came to, coughing roughly as I hurriedly took in a breath of air, the throbbing pain in my head making itself known. I groaned and attempted to curl into myself, only to be stopped by a pair of strong arms pulling me to their chest. “Hey, easy Bella, I’ve got you. You’re alright, I’ve got you,” a voice soothed.
After a confusing moment I recognised the voice as Alice’s brother Edward. 
“E-Edward?” I croaked, blinking up at him. 
It was at that moment I realised that Edward was shirtless, and wet. I blushed deeply, even though he’d been in a similar state of undress for half the vacation, I’d never gotten close enough to admire him properly. 
“Hand her to me, son, I’ll check her over to make sure her head is alright,” Carlisle said in his Dr. Cullen voice. Edward nodded and stood while holding me bridal style and handed me off to his father. As soon as he saw that I was settled he turned around, walked over to James and Tyler and punched James in the face before turning and doing the same to Tyler. 
Soon fists were flying and Emmet and Jasper jumped in to break it up, though in my opinion it was more to save the two idiots as Edward was very effectively kicking their asses while Esme yelled at them to stop. Alice and Rose were egging Edward on yelling out suggestions on where to punch the two idiots before Esme quieted them with a look.
~~~
Later that evening, after the chaos settled and emotions began to calm, I went to find Edward who was at the helm of the yacht staring out at the evening sky. The setting sun cast a warm glow over the ocean, as the sky which was painted with a mixture of pinks and oranges, steadily grew darker.
I came to a stop next to him and matched his pose, both arms resting on the railing as I took in the sight, it really was an incredible view  
“Edward,” I began, “I don’t know how to thank you enough for saving me. If it weren’t for you, I could have died. I owe you my life,” I said sincerely.
Edward offered a gentle smile, his eyes softening. “Bella, there’s no need to thank me, you don’t owe me anything. I couldn’t just stand by and watch you drown. If Jasper and Emmett hadn’t been so shocked they would have done the same. I’m just glad I got to you in time.”
I scooted closer to him so I could bump his shoulder with mine. “Don’t be so modest. And I feel like I owe you something, a lifetime of servitude at the very least,” I joked. 
Edward cracked a smile before becoming uncharacteristically serious as he turned to face me fully, his piercing green eyes boring into mine. “I didn’t do anything heroic, Bella. Anyone would have done the same, you really don’t need to thank me. You’re important to m—Alice and I. I just couldn’t bear the thought of something happening to you,” he said.
Blushing, I took a step closer until we were practically chest to chest. “Edward, you risked your personal safety for mine, that means the world to me.” Here I took a breath and lowered my gaze before looking up at him from under my lashes. “Isn’t there anything I can do to show you my gratitude?” I asked suggestively as I reached out and gently clasped his hand, my fingers intertwining with his. 
Edward’s eyes darkened slightly as he bent his head towards mine, tilting my chin up. “You really want to thank me?” 
I felt my insides melt as my heart fluttered and heat flooded my face. “Yes,” I breathed. 
“Kiss me.”
My heart thudded in my chest as I reached up and tangled my hands in his hair before pulling him towards me and softly pressing my lips to his in a tentative kiss. 
Edward’s breath hitched before he suddenly pulled me impossibly closer, his lips moving desperately against mine, as if he were a dying man drinking water for the first time in years. And I returned the kiss with equal fervour, each of us being consumed by the other. We stayed like that for what felt like hours, locked in a passionate embrace
I would have to remember to thank Alice for inviting me on this vacation.

okay, so, Memento Question, just for you to remember that people actually appreciate that fic: in that version, in which Alice lives (or is changed by Jasper), she lives her life differently? Or all the visions are the still the same as the version where she dies and something, maybe Jasper, just changed in the last minute? Idk if answering this would count as a spoiler tho
Awww, Anon, thank you so much.
For the part of Memento Vivere where Alice lives, everything is the same until about halfway through Memento Mori, and then Jasper makes a Decision and that's essentially where the story changes - this is essentially the first scene of where the story diverges.
It's very much reinforcing that Alice did nothing wrong, and that one person making a decision to reach out to her in some way would have changed her fate - whether that was her father or stepmother, Carlisle as her doctor, a classmate etc. (The whole situation is really just a metaphor for how often depressed teenagers are left to slip through the cracks and are too often failed by the people - the adults - around them.)
Alice would always be a temptation to Jasper, but she only became a plausible target for him because she was so isolated and solitary.
But I digress.
For the part where Jasper changes her, everything is the same, Alice just wakes up buried in the forest and that's essentially where we start. And that's when we get into Consequences and Fate and Found Family <3
I can't say anything about visions without getting into spoiler territory, but obviously Alice with a support system, or Alice with a more evolved gift is going to look a little different than the very miserable young girl in Memento Mori who spent a lot of time worrying about her inevitable death.
Anyway, anon, have a sample of Jasper's POV from Memento Mori! I don't think I've posted it before, but if I have... enjoy it again?
Carlisle is home quickly
“Jasper killed Alice Brandon.”
The words hit Carlisle like I’ve stabbed him. Four plunges of the knife. I see the news sink in, and I can see him go rigid, to resist whatever reaction he wants to have. He swallows hard and nods once.
“You cleaned up?” he asks, his voice hoarse, and his words directed to Edward.
“Yes. She won’t be found,” Edward affirms. He’s right; her grave is deep in the Olympic National Park, where only the most experience of climbers could get to easily. No hunters would go there, no police dogs could get to the scent. She’ll never be found.
I don’t need Edward’s gift to know that Carlisle is remembering other accidents we’ve had to clean up; the wet, meaty sound as we pulled off limbs to simulate an animal attack; slicing deeply into flesh to mimic ripping; impromptu pyres, and rocks filling the pockets of horror-stricken corpses.
“What do we do now?” Esme asks. I don’t need to look up at them all. Flavours of shock, grief, frustration, rage, and pity rush to meet me. “We… we can’t leave, not without Bella.”
Rosalie huffs, Edward growls, and Carlisle is just staring off into space.
“We’ve broken the Treaty,” Carlisle murmured. “We must leave.”
“We don’t have to go anywhere.” Our gazes swing to meet Emmett, who looks thoughtful. “Everyone in school knew she had problems. They’ll say she ran away or something. We graduate in a few months.”
“Jasper can’t leave the house like that,” Rosalie says waspishly, and it's hard to comprehend that my eyes are fucking luminous with her blood.
“Bella doesn’t graduate until next summer,” Edward says in a dark voice.
“I will contact the school, and tell them Jasper is ill,” Carlisle says. “But… I am not comfortable with this plan. If the pack finds out, they have the right to attack us at any interval…”
“So, we prepare,” Esme says firmly. “We hunt in groups. We stay close to the house. If we have to separate, we regroup at the house in Alaska. We start preparing now, so that once graduation is over with, we can leave immediately. As for Bella, if we are forced to leave, we keep in contact and reunite with her once she’s graduated.”

It takes a week for Alice to be noticed as missing. Edward reports that the police were told three and a half days after I… after, but it takes a whole week for the other students to notice her absence, for the truth to get out.
Missing.
Some precocious sophomore sets up an odd shrine to her on a noticeboard - her pale face peering out from a photocopy of her school I.D. picture. A few paper flowers and cut out pictures of candles.
And this is the closest Alice Brandon will ever get to a funeral.
