#Didyme Volturi

[volterran-wine]

hello! sort of a thought experiment - what do you think would have happened if Didyme (and marcus?) sired someone, maybe she changed a person she had been watching or asked him to change someone, what do you think would have happened to that vampire after she was killed? how would marcus deal with that? (love your blog! sorry if this is not a question you can answer!)

This would change just about everything dear Anonymous, for I do not think Marcus would not have entered as detrimental of a depression as he is currently in. With a child there would be a second tether that kept him happy.

Depending on who turned who, there could very well be a small part of Didyme left in the world for him to protect despite the grief gnawing at him initially.

Now, if this daughter or son saw Didyme as a true mother figure—they will probably be on the war path just as much as Marcus was after the murder of Didyme is revealed. A scorned mate and son is never a great combo to deal with, in canon it is blatantly clear that a vampire with severed bonds is nothing to scoff at.

It makes me wonder if Aro would ever make the mistake of killing his sister in the first place. I did not see Caius aiding him either, too much of a risk.

With a child in the mix there is a chance that Marcus would attempt to take out Aro after coming to terms with the truth, because there would be another Vampire to elevate to a royal role. If this child was turned by Didyme as well? Marcus would do just about anything to put a crown on their head.

I think The Volturi would look quite differently from what we know it as. We could very well have been left with Marcus, Athenodora, Caius and this hypothetical child as rulers.

[xostrawberrymlk]

also y’all can’t tell me Marcus isn’t a yearner, like in true vampire style, he YEARNS for his woman (as does Jasper) THAT is the true love story tbh tbh

I don’t want a book about Roblox and Jacob (tho I think a book in Jake’s perspective pre breaking dawn would be cool) I WANT A BOOK ABOUT MY MANS MARCUS AND DIDYME (I would say Jasper and Alice too but I’ve satiated my hunger for them for now through fanfics, so unless Stephanie is gonna give my bb Jasper an ACTUAL redemption arc and idk maybe have him NOT be a LITERAL PROUD CONFEDERATE???????? then we can leave that one to the fanfics…) ((tho I’d give anything to see Jackson and Ashley play them again????????))

THE HEIR – A Volturi Fanfiction

Prologue:

Hello, readers! I hope you all enjoy this wonderful fanfic that It's on my mind for a long, long time... Any feedback It's welcome, xoxo!

______________________________________

The stone walls and the gloom that permeated the narrow corridors of the Volturi's subterranean stronghold exuded a morose and somber ambiance, meticulously cultivated. For the immortals dwelling within, the weather of Volterra aboveground mattered little, but for the hapless humans ensnared in the clandestine chambers, there existed no more inhospitable abode. Even the depths of Hades, they mused, might prove less sweltering and oppressive. Were it not for the refined tastes of the vampire aristocracy, the fortress's chambers likely would not be so impeccably appointed.

Selina, the youthful enchantress, delighted in imagining that her relentless and sadistic master, Caius, derived a perverse pleasure from likening their domain to the inferno. And perhaps, she pondered, such a comparison wasn't entirely unfounded...

She raised her head with steely resolve, traversing the corridors adorned with Renaissance artwork, sporadically illuminated by flickering candlelight casting a faint glow upon ancient artifacts. It was a whim of the Volturi's elite, adorning their underground sanctuary with relics that could well predate Selina's own existence.

Without preamble, she pushed open the double doors to a chamber, discovering a cadre of vampires engaged in hushed conversation, comfortably ensconced within.

"Look who's returned to the lion's den, Selina?" taunted Renata, perched pretentiously in an armchair near the central hearth, a tome bound in crimson velvet clutched in her hands.

Selina entered the chamber, arching a disdainful brow, displaying her disinterest in the vampire who once again sought to provoke her needlessly.

"Must you be so disagreeable, Renata? Is it truly necessary to so blatantly advertise your disdain for me? It would behoove you to feign civility, wouldn't you agree?" Selina retorted, her smile laced with a tantalizing edge, as Chelsea escorted her to the vermilion settee, whose crimson eyes gleamed with a sinister allure.

Chelsea emitted a soft chuckle, murmuring to Selina as they approached the divan where a gentleman was engrossed in a game of chess.

"She wouldn't be capable of feigning camaraderie. How would she cope with the envy of having to share Aro's attention with you?" Chelsea remarked, guiding Selina with a gentle touch upon her shoulder.

Renata's glare swept across the chamber before returning to the book in her possession, pointedly ignoring Chelsea's comment to stave off any further conflict.

"Have you had a pleasant journey, Lina?" inquired Afton, Chelsea's consort, deftly maneuvering a chess piece upon the board. It appeared he was playing alone.

Selina reclined upon the settee, offering a dissatisfied smile.

"Demetri and I tracked down two nomads responsible for the slaughter in Santiago. Master Caius tasked us with their disposal after their execution. Despite their intriguing nature, I've never encountered anything quite like it..." Selina began, recounting some of her recent exploits, though her gaze drifted pensively to the crackling flames in the hearth, lost momentarily in thought.

"And...?" Afton regarded her with the same curiosity as Chelsea.

"They stored the bodies in stacks, appearing strangely preserved..." Selina replied, her voice tinged with contemplation.

Chelsea furrowed her brow in perplexity, exchanging silent, conspiratorial glances with Afton, while Selina snapped back to attention, alternating her focus between the pair.

"What troubles you? What have you gleaned?" Selina inquired icily, her determination palpable in her gaze.

"It's a vampiric custom, Selina..." Afton began, attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"It is my prerogative to be informed..." Selina insisted, her unwavering gaze leaving no room for evasion.

The man sought Chelsea's support, receiving a nod of encouragement, prompting him to continue. Afton occupied a similar station to Selina within the Volturi hierarchy. Though Aro and other members of the coven may not hold his presence in as high regard as Chelsea's, he commanded respect nonetheless, and Selina, favored by Aro due to her unique abilities, held a similar standing.

"There exists a practice... an arcane tradition scarcely known, involving the preservation of human remains, and she..." Afton's words were cut short as the door swung open abruptly, revealing the ethereal figure of Jane, who had materialized like a phantom, her footsteps unheard by any within.

The room fell into silence, awaiting her command. Jane offered a benign smile, though it failed to reach her eyes, lending her an air of icy detachment.

"Aro requests your presence. Go now and tarry not," Jane intoned softly, sending shivers down Selina's spine. She nodded silently and made her exit, leaving behind a disgruntled Renata and an atmosphere fraught with tension.

"That she-devil..." Chelsea muttered through gritted teeth.

"Tesoro..." Afton chided gently.

Selina rose from the settee and made her way to the door, exchanging a final glance with her companions.

"We shall converse anon. Fret not, Afton..." she assured them, casting a meaningful wink their way. It was a subtle message understood only by the trio. Selina possessed the clandestine ability to obscure memories—a tool she would wield to safeguard against Aro's intrusion, ensuring he perceived only what was expedient.

Selina departed, navigating the dimly lit corridors toward Aro, leaving behind a discontented Renata.

[the-dawn-star]

ooohh you're open! Would it be alright to request a very angsty and fluffy Aro x sister reader. When they were still humans, Aro, Didyme, and reader were very close (They practically raised her) tho reader has a huge age gap between her siblings. Can you do a reunited fic? Like Aro and Didyme thought reader was killed when they were human. Aro and reader reunited at the final battle with the Cullens. Reader never knew Aro was still alive (idk how it can be up to you) so when they saw eachother it was unbelievable. Let's just say that reader looks similarly to Didyme so angst ensues for Marcus baby (Can also be Marcus x reader). Reader looking for her dear older sister only to be told she's dead. I know it's a lot so I'll understand if you can't do it or would like to change the plot a bit.

A/N: Hello and thanks for the req, I loved writing this! The twilight wiki was my best friend while writing this, so all the historical content was got from there. I changed your idea a bit (Aro turned reader). Also let’s ignore that Edward and Aro can read minds and Carlisle spent time with the Volturi coven. This has a lot of back story but I think it is cool to know just the debts of vampire mourning.

-S 

PSA: I don’t remember much from breaking dawn part 2 so the battle is inaccurate.  

TW: Talk of kidnapping, murder, vampire fuckery, family dying, starvation, a mention of Refrigerator (Renesmee for the uncultured), I feel like Aro always needs his own warning so, Aro.

1000ish words (this turned out to be a lot longer than usual hcs for me).

You were a child when Aro and Didyme were turned, and with your parents dead your siblings started to take care of you.  

Aro acted like you were his own child while raising you and protected you from anything that could cause any harm to your still human body.  

Didyme sang you to sleep for years and pushed all suitors away from you when you got a bit older.  

Aro turned you when you were about 20, and with a small disappointment he realized that you didn’t own any special abilities. Aro once had a massive rant that how someone as amazing as you, didn’t have any powers.  

You lived with your siblings for a long time and your coven got bigger and bigger while all the members got fiercely protective of you.  

But all took a turn for the worse when you were taken by some angry vampires, leaving your whole coven to believe that you were dead.  

Your captors told you that your coven was murdered by them. 

When you got out from the vampires, going back to Greece was too painful. So, you started to travel as far away as you could trying to find some happiness in your life without any of your family.  

For a long time, you didn’t talk to anyone and avoided all contact, leaving your house only to hunt. 

That was the time when you started to drink less and less, building such a good tolerance that your black eyes or sandpaper-like throat didn’t bother you. 

 ~~~  

But time forces you to heal.  

In the 1900s you found a friend in New York, a lovely girl called Rosalie. It was nice, so human and the girl was so genuine with you.  

Rosalie disappeared from my life for a moment, then you walked in on her drinking from a rabbit and having the yellow eyes you had seen once or twice in your life.  

You spent a few years with Rosalie, Carlisle and Edward, but never joined their coven, you lost yours already and no time could heal it.  

But you were their friend staying with them from time to time and disappearing when it started to feel like you were replacing your old family.  

~~~ 

Rosalie called you first telling of the mess that was starting to unravel in America and you were on the first flight to Forks, after you hung up.  

You didn’t talk to any other vampires and stayed hidden, so you had no understanding of vampire law. After all the so-called kings were most likely younger than you so why should you listen to them.  

You stayed mostly alone while the others were talking of strategy with the other vampires all around the world.  

They were fighting for their family... something that you couldn’t do all that time ago.  

~~~ 

You stood at the edge of the field, back behind all the other vampires.  

You had barely fought anyone in your life, even if your age had brought you strength. But the Cullens had promised that this wouldn’t turn into a fight.  

Then a massive group of vampires appeared to the other side of the field.  

You couldn’t concentrate on looking at any of them, instead focusing on the snowy ground. You were there as a number and silent, and for you it was just fine.  

You hear Edward talking to one of them, only to hear the sound of a ghost... The sound of your lovely brother’s voice, Aro. 

You raised your head, looking around from the surprise. Were you really going mad, right now? 

You took a good look at the royal coven only to see ghosts all over it.  

Your feet started to move before you could stop them. You walked through the crowd of vampires stopping when you reached the Cullens at the front.  

Still your coven was there.  

You made eye contact with the ghost of Marcus. 

“Didyme?” It was a small whisper from him, but it got everyone's attention and slowly people turned to look at you, the one who got Marcus’s attention so completely.  

You always joked how you and your sister looked so similar even when you were just a human child.  

The ghost of your brother turned to look at you before slowly saying your name like a small prayer.  

Is this really just ghosts and are you going insane? Were they really there? 

“Brother?” You said, taking a step forward.  

“Sister?” Aro said, and you could only nod and straighten your hand as an invite for your brother's powers.  

Your brother was in front of you in a second and his hands were pressed to your cheeks, forcing you to look at him while looking at your memories. 

When your brother had enough of your memories, he pulled you to a hug that you had missed for centuries.  

“Brother, am I going mad” you asked in your native language that you hadn’t spoken for so long.  

Brother pulled back from the embrace. “No, my little sister, you just have been lost from me for too long.”  

You turned to look at your brother's company seeing your old coven mixed with a lot of new people. But you couldn’t find your sister.  

“What has happened?” you asked, looking back to your brother.  

“We took down the old rulers and we became the new one. Our coven has been royalty for over a millennium now.”  

~~~ 

The rest of the night went on in a haze. You couldn’t listen to any of the Cullens or the struggle of the immortal child. You just needed your brother.  

Your coven was in a private plain with you back to town in Italy, that was the capital of the vampire world apparently.  

You were glued to your brother’s side while you and your coven told you what happened after you disappeared.  

Aro and Marcus’s eyes were pooled with venom while Caius was silent but clearly as emotional as his friends.  

No one had mentioned Didyme the whole time and in your heart, you knew why, you just weren’t strong enough to get the confirmation. But you needed to know what happened, who took your sister away from you.  

“Big brother?” You asked in your mother tongue, getting Aro’s attention. 

“Yes?”  

“What happened to her?” You asked, afraid to get the answer.  

“She was attacked and killed a long time ago, but fear not she has been looking after you this whole time. And now she cries tears of joy after seeing us together at last.”  

[wendigo-volturi]

Something is really confusing me

if Chelsea can convince Marcus to stay alive, why couldn't she convince Dydime to stay with the Volturi??

Well Chelsea can really only Make people happy and not convince them. So she might have tried to use her gift on Didyme but she was completely set on leaving the volturi with Marcus that Chelsea's gift didn't work on Didyme. I haven't read the books or watched the movies in a while so I'm not so I'm not completely positive but this is just my personal opinion.

[kt2025]

Story idea - Alternate reality

Vampires exist but the Volturi are also a very powerful mafia who rules the world, one night when the queens (Athenodora, Didyme, Sulpicia) was coming back from an event they spotted Isabella in a alleyway and decided to help the girl who seemed very lost. and gradually the mafia/vampire queens fall for Bella and they rule side by side.

Main Post - masterlist

(those photos made by me in Rome and Paris)

I created this place to practice my English writing, for everyday I write in Polish. I also wanted to have separate place for my Twilight vibe stories and photos.

Mastelist can change from time to time, when I have some story idea I have to write it down somewhere. After finishing "The Sweet Secret" you can decide which one will be next!

So welcome!

Masterlist

~~The Sweet Secret~~ Summary: Cleo (also Kleonika) was hybrid and lived in the shadows, hiding her existence for three millennia. One day in Las Vegas she met extraordinary vampire casanova named Demetri, from Volturi Coven. Unfortunately her lineage was her biggest fear and because of that she was living in lies. That's why she was scared to stay before Volturi as Cullen's witness, but she couldn't let an innocent child to die. That's why she was ready to stay before her father and mother, Caius and Athenodora wasn't ready to find their daughter was still alive and wasn't human... More important, they weren't ready to find about her mate. (Demetri Volturi x OC) Part one Part two Part three Part four More soon

~~Princess~~ Summary: Mate bonds were the most beautiful bonds in the vampire world. They were also rare, some vampires were never able to meet their true love. Achelois was living next to Volturi since the day she was changed by her aunt, Didyme. And also in Volturi Coven she found the one she loved, she was pretty sure it was true, pure love. At least till the day when Alec saw another girl and felt the mate connection with her. It would be misunderstanding to say Achelois was devastated when she found about that... (Alec Volturi x OC) Will be soon

~~Light in the darkness~~ Summary: Lucia wanted only to forget about her previous life, but with immortal life she succeeded that. She was part of the Siberian Coven, she was living with her new family in the middle of nowhere. She loved her life, but at the same time she felt so alone. When she met Felix, during her visit in Oslo, everything changed. Unfortunately her life was always rough and her coven was supposed to be destroyed by werewolves... she hated how life always gave her so cruel jokes... (Felix Volturi x OC) Will be soon

~~Egyptian Gem~~ Summary: Egyptian Coven is one of the oldest but with rough history, they fell multiple times. Only few survived those falls, among them was usually Amun, the head of the Coven, his mate, Kebi, and his daughter from his human merriage, Asenath. She was always next to her father, he always protected her with all power he had. She was also extraordinary Egyptian beauty and cought multiple eyes during centuries and millennia of her life. But her eyes was only on one particular person, who betrayed their coven at the end... (Demetri Volturi x OC) Will be soon

Didyme's fingerprints can still be seen in Aro's actions, even after her death

There are some videos on TikTok featuring Chinese people recreating ancient paper, ancient blush, ancient lipstick, and various other artifacts, using traditional methods passed down from their ancestors.

I strongly believe that Aro possesses such items.

Both Didyme and he were deeply enamored with humanity's ceaseless creativity, marveling at its ability to continuously invent and innovate in the most intricate and well-thought-out ways despite everything. They made it a point to purchase anything that remotely piqued their interest.

It didn't matter that all of those items were extremely expensive, especially considering the challenges of transportation, given that the Volturi resided in Volterra, and there is a considerable distance between Italy and China. The Volturi, having existed for centuries, had amassed significant wealth. Amidst the books, art pieces, and various objects accumulated over the years, Aro and Didyme actively worked to acquire these items from different continents, even though they knew they would never use them due to the meticulous care they took in maintaining their possessions.

As time passed, Didyme developed a deep fascination with jewelry, while Aro pursued a more mechanical path. While his sister sought out necklaces and bracelets, always sharing her finds with Athenodora and Sulpicia, Aro immersed himself in learning a wide array of skills. His fascination even led him to master the art of Chinese ancient printing.

Aro made it a priority to learn Chinese and traveled to China solely to acquire knowledge. He dedicated himself to mastering the intricacies of their ancient printing machine. Despite the rarity of his leisure moments, given his position as one of the rulers of an entire bloodthirsty race, he relentlessly attempted to recreate the print exactly as he had learned from the mind of the person he had read. His pursuit never wavered until he got it right.

When he did achieve perfection, it, of course, only signaled the beginning of a new learning journey. Aro, always seeking new knowledge, explored different realms of expertise. Didyme introduced him to the beauty of jewelry, initially something he hadn't paid much attention to, as he gravitated towards more obvious arts, such as sculpture and music.

However, like every truly good person in tragic tales, Didyme's life was cut short, and Aro found himself to blame. As the weight of his actions sank in — realizing he had taken the life of his sister, whom he had witnessed being born, whom he had taught how to write, whom he had seen learn to walk, whom he had waited to be older to be transformed and be by his side — Aro came to terms with the harsh reality that, for him, family, despite its significance, was not as powerful as the pursuit of power itself. In the aftermath, he needed solace and something to cling to.

For Aro, that anchor became Didyme herself and the love she had for jewelry.

In perhaps a desperate attempt to keep even a hint of his sister's memory alive or in a cunning effort to convey to Marcus the depth of his suffering (to this day, he remains unsure of the true reason), Aro learned the art of creating jewelry.

In the beginning, he simply observed others engaging in the craft, recalling the wonder with which his sister always regarded them. Nevertheless, one thing led to another, and now, much like Caius with his art room and Marcus with his personal library, Aro has his own workshop dedicated to creating all types of jewelry, from necklaces to rings, bracelets, and more.

Without skipping a single piece, he always creates two: one for himself and one to place in Didyme's room, among the countless other items he has never managed to discard, even thousands of years after her demise.

I've been ass deep in... Communist views, propaganda- YOGOSLAVIA (Tito) since I was 13, oddly enough. It's an underlying hyperfixation of mine and not something people expect of a lesbian doused in Psycholinguistics. What a rant- Alas, I think it's because where I live it's often referred to as "The good old times", granted vampires being alive so long must have a lot of those "Good old times"- I was originally about to ask if we have any communists, but writing this I find myself a bit curious what said "Good old times" are for the Volturi, if only an example or two. I'll definitely cringe reading this back if you do get to answer it but what is a girl to do? If this makes any sense at all, but I've been on this blog under this anonymous name for long enough and have yet to be shunned

Genuinely love you Nat 🙌

As you may know Gustav!Anon, when I first saw this in my inbox I was sure it was some sort of spam. It's the first time someone has ran into my Inbox talking about Communist propaganda in Yugoslavia... even Tito. But as I read on it was of course you. But here is the answer to your questions, I do hope you have recovered from the crashout. To get all the Volturi in here I was not able to elaborate, but I think it’s to imagine why they chose what they did.

Though I will say this turned more into their “favourite decade/age”

Dec. 3 - Pick one deceased Twilight character to draw or tell us more about. How would the Twilight universe be different if they were still alive?

Didyme- I think that a lot would have changed about the basic dynamic of the Volturo if Aro hadn't killed her.

Marcus would still have a mate.

Marcus would not live a life of mourning, where he does and feels basically nothing (due to Chelsea's powers). This would likely lead to him having a much more active role in the Volturi (if Aro just convinced Marcus and Didyme to stay instead of killing Didyme, so Marcus stayed). He, being more reasonable and less power hungry than Caius and Aro, would likely have created a more tolerant and reasonable Volturi, which, in turn, is still respected and obeyed, but due to admiration and respect instead of fear. This would likely mean that the Newborn Armies were dealt with differently- the "innocent members"(think Bree Tanner) would be spared whereas the leaders would likely still be killed or imprisoned (Aro's power determines this- if the reason they started the army happened when they were a vampire, they can be rehabilitated as it isn't "stuck" in the same way a human motif is stuck for a vampire, but, if the reason originates from when they are human, they will be killed as leaving them alive would likely create more violence. This would mean Bree Tanner would still be alive and, due to the Volturi being more reasonable, the "showdown" in Breaking Dawn would have actually happened with the Volturi intending to talk instead of intending to "talk" and actually wishing to fight. This, in turn, would mean that the Cullens wouldn't be so scared and wouldn't have needed so many witnesses (likely only the Denalis), meaning Benjamin likely doesn't stand up to Amun until a lot later (think hundreds of years) and Garrett and Kate never meet and become mates (or at least not for many years).

My attempt at an Aro and Didyme knocking at your nice country villa to avoid being out in the full moon.

Oh, the food smells delightful. There's no food out? Don't worry about it.
