#twilight alistair headcanons

[charlottesbookclub]

Hello there!

I'm the main from @notfoundfootage , I came here to thank you for sharing your beautiful writing with us mere mortals! Your portrayal of Alistair is so good, you and @frodoshaggins do such an excellent job with this, my little heart be damned.

What do you think Alistair thinks of a partner/friend that wants to become a vampire?

Omg think about being buried in the woods with him !!!! Cuddling under a mossy tree !!!! Like lil turtles in winter!!!!

Meanwhile Carlisle is in the background happy that Alistair found a companion but questioning their life choices 🙂👍

hi my dear!! 💖

ahhhhhhhhh thank you sooooooo much for your super sweet words!!!!!! I am blushing, giggling, kicking my feet rn like this is so nice ahhhhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

honestly I'm having such a good time writing him (both in his historical timeline and in the modern one ☺️) and it was genuinely such a pleasant surprise to find people here who still wanted to read stuff for him! I mean, I think there's like 3-5 of us, but everyone's enthusiasm and kindness has made it feel like such a wonderful and welcoming community! team alistair is small but mighty I guess ☺️💕

okay also I was so excited about your question that I wrote maybe a bit too much, so I'm putting my answer to that under the cut! 🥰🥰

and omg my first official tumblr alistair meta question I'm so excited!!!!!! um okay so I think that if he were with someone who wanted to become a vampire, I think initially there would be a little bit of like "wait... you want... this??" and not in an angsty or religious-guilt way à la edward (and carlisle to a lesser extent) but in more of the sense that I think alistair is very.......... conflicted on vampirism as a concept. his transformation was hugely traumatic, and (at least in my interpretation of his character/backstory, which will eventually be addressed in "king of all birds" 😈) I think he lived for quite a while in confusion about what he actually was, which likely only furthered the trauma he was already experiencing. additionally, his entire vampire life has pretty much been lived in fear and on the run from various threats (both real and imagined), so it doesn't seem like he was exactly enjoying his time as a vampire

however, I think that at his core, alistair is a very practical person, and he realizes that being a vampire is the hand he's been dealt, so he just kinda.... goes with it?? I think he also realizes that in some ways, his transformation (and the events that occurred as a result of it) saved him from a lot of complications that were piling up in his human life, so there's also a strange sense of almost gratitude that further complicates his ideas on vampirism. also, in this scenario, it was him being a vampire that led to him finding his partner/friend, so there's also some gratitude that this very long life of isolation and fear finally led to something wonderful and good

but now that I've waxed poetic on alistair's complicated thoughts on vampirism (which was also not the question you asked, so I'm very sorry for going so far off course here 😭😅) I'm going to completely agree with @frodoshaggins assessment of this situation as they lay out in their sfw headcanons post (letter W) that alistair would end up changing his partner because he couldn't imagine living without them now that he knows how happy he can be (*cue "All I've Ever Known" from Hadestown*) 🥹🥹 so in the situation where his partner actually wanted to be changed, I do think he would experience a lot less stress over it, since he would come to the conclusion that he needed to do it eventually anyway 💕

and omg yes once they are both vampires they will ABSOLUTELY be sleeping in the moss!!!!! so frickin cuuuuute 🥹🥹 or like a nice little hollow tree covered in ferns??? top tier snuggle spots for alistair and his vampire partner 🥰🥰

and lmaooooooo carlisle and all the more "human-ish" vampires being like "uhhhhhh okay I guess" I'm WEEPING 😆😆 alistair and his partner visit just like covered in little bits of moss and lichens and esme is like "carlisle they are ruining my clean house why tf did you invite them??" and carlisle is just like "sorry babe I genuinely did not think that finding a partner would make alistair more weird but here we are I guess" 😆😆

okay, now that I've written a full novel here, I'm so sorry this got so long! 😭😭 I am clearly Not Normal™️ about this man

but thank you so much again for this absolutely lovely ask, and feel free to pop back into the ol' inbox anytime, I'm always excited to talk about alistair or anything else!!!! ☺️💕🥰💖

Do you think Alistar and Garret would like each other?

I feel they would be a nice friendship.

I don't recall in canon what they thought of each other, but I think it was very little/not much. Garrett was mostly hanging out with Kate and making the moves on his new lady love. Alistair was busy being terrified of the whole ordeal and then booked it when he saw Bella making plans for her daughter that made it seem like she thought they were all doomed to die without telling anyone.

Given all of that I...

Have to disagree and do not think it would be a nice friendship. Garrett either is flat out not interested or else contemptuous of a man who fled for the hills at the first sign of danger instead of sticking it to the man (remember, Garrett took the opportunity to give a rousing speech no one asked for in the middle of the confrontation). Alistair, for his own part, would think Garrett's trying to get them all killed.

Alistair SFW Alphabet

I wrote this instead of sleeping, enjoy.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

People show and receive love in different ways, sometimes all; so I’ve split into 5

 Words of affirmation – This man is the first to tell you that he’s proud of you, or that you’re doing great. He truly loves watching you flourish in whatever you put your mine to and is your biggest supporter alongside it. He loves telling you how beautiful you look, or complimenting you in general. He lives off the flustered look on your face every time he does it.

 Quality time – If you like parallel play, this is your man. You may not always do things together, but he’ll be whittling away in the corner as you go about your hobbies. He loves watching films/tv with you, even if he doesn’t enjoy the film he enjoys cuddling up with you on the couch.

 Gifts – He’ll steal anything for you, if your eyes light up as you pass a store window, its in your house the next day. You want for nothing, truly. He’ll make you things, too. Little wooden figurines, leather gloves he’s made.

 Acts of service – You need something fixed? It’s done before you even have a chance to mention it. He’s scoured the instruction manual, and it’s done. He’s a lousy cook, given he hasn’t eaten proper food in a very long time, but will genuinely try. He’s bringing you cereal and mildly burnt toast in the mornings, along with tea or coffee so you can eat before you get up.

 Physical touch – Loves to have his skin on yours, even if its just interlinked pinkies when you’re walking, or your legs on his lap when you are reading on the couch. He likes to practise braiding your hair if its in range. Running the back of his fingers up and down your arm. Forehead kisses. Arms around your waist when you’re cooking or washing dishes. He knows fine well what gentle kisses on the side of your neck or your shoulder does to you, and it eggs him oon to be a complete tease through and through.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Becoming best friends with this man is a long and arduous journey. Carlisle has been trying for centuries now, and Alistair doesn’t even text back. It is a lot of work to get close to this man.

It is absolutely worth it, though. When this man is your best friend, he is your ride or die. He’s got your back even if you’re clearly in the wrong and will check you on it when you’re alone instead of in front of others. He’s a great listening ear, and will forever show interest in whatever thing that has caught your attention, even if its silly.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He really does but he won’t ever admit that out loud. If you’re close enough to Alistair to be able to cuddle him in the first place, its pretty easy to figure out what he enjoys and what he doesn’t without his verbal input.

Whether you’re human or not, his favourite ways to cuddle would be with him on his back, with your head oh his chest. Maybe a wee cheeky leg over the waist too. He’ll play with your hair, running his fingers across your scalp, and will hold you close as though you’ll get up and run at any moment.

He also loves to lay on you, he’s heavy despite his slight build, but he’ll lay between your legs with his head on your chest. Extra points if you also play with his hair, too.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Not really one for settling down with kids and a white picket fence. Settling down for Alistair just means being with you. He will follow you wherever you choose to go, in anything you choose to do.

Cooking? No. Guaranteed the fire alarm will go off every time he gets near a stove, and he doesn’t really know the perfect blend of spices for much of anything. He does try, though, and that’s what counts.

He had never cleaned before in his life, and truthfully, he doesn’t leave a lot of mess by himself, but if he can help you by doing the dishes or cleaning the bathroom, he’ll give it a good go so that you don’t have to do it.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

I’ll be honest, Alistair would run away. Quite simply. However, he wouldn’t commit to anything unless he were very sure it wouldn’t end. He’s in it for the long run. If this man even introduced himself to you, hes not leavin.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Marriage isn’t anything necessary to Alistair, he is happy to exist alongside you without it. He’s completely committed to you whether you have a ring on your finger or not. If you were to get married, it would be a small affair, and that would be his only request. Would be absolutely chuffed to call you his spouse, though.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Incredibly gentle. You are cherished in this relationship, like you’re made of porcelain. This man will never raise is voice around you. He’s holding you when you cry, listening to your grievances, whispering encouraging words to you.

In terms of himself, it isn’t often he’s emotionally vulnerable, but it does happen, and he appreciates a loving partner to get him through it. Listen to his fears, to hold him when he grieves.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

LOVES hugs, does not love hugs from people not on the very short Hug List. If you’re not on that brief list honestly don’t even acknowledge this man’s presence he would prefer if you did not speak to him what-so-ever.

If you are on this list, a hug is his guilty pleasure. Loves to scoop you up into his arms if you’re reunited after a while apart and will hold you for as long as you’ll put up with it.

His huge feel safe, you are secure in his arms. Despite his low body temperature, they’re warm. He smells earthy, like moss. Always smells like he slept outside—in a good way.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Honestly? Years. Saying the big “I love you” is a terrifying prospect to anyone and saying so for the first time would put him in a position to be let down/emotionally vulnerable which he simply will not do easily.

However, he will show it. You know you are loved because he is simply there, You are looked after. He will do things for you, is attentive to your needs and wants.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Not a very jealous person at all. Quite insecure in himself though. He’s convinced you could find better, do better than him, and that there’s someone that could offer you more than he can. It takes him a very long time to realise that he means as much to you as you do to him. Once he realises this, there is no long-lasting doubt in his mind about your feelings or loyalty.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Very soft. Alistair isn’t a rough man with his kisses. Gentle slow kisses that leave you wanting more. He loves to leave kisses along your shoulder or leaving a lingering kiss on your knuckles.

His favourite kisses to receive are on his neck, or the rushed kisses on his cheek when you’re running out the door.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Not very good. Children are all in your business and asking questions, as is their curious nature. He doesn’t appreciate it.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

On a slow morning, you are wrapped up in each other’s arms and its hard to tell where one of you begins and the other ends. He’s kissing up and down your skin, whispering sweet nothings in your ear.

On a busy morning, he’s woken you up with breakfast, and half of the things that need to be done are already handled. If you’re with Alistair, you have to be fairly independent, so he won’t do everything for you but will do everything he can to make your day easier before it has even started.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Sat by the fire, on the couch, talking or partaking in hobbies. Theres always more to learn about you, and him, so there’s lots to discuss and its not often that you run out of things to talk about.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Again, it takes a long time for this man to feel safe enough to open up to you. When he does, it’s little by little. Most of his opening up comes from questions from you. He wont lie to you, but if there’s something he isn’t ready to discuss he’ll tell you so, and your reaction to this will determine if he will at all. He doesn’t like prying, so respect his privacy and he’ll open up to you eventually.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Depends on who you are. It doesn’t take much to piss him off, as he’s pretty much pissed off by default.

If he loves you, you’d have to do something pretty atrocious for him to be genuinely angry at you over it. I’m not sure he’s one for forgiving or forgetting, so he’d be gone.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Remembers absolutely everything about you. Some things you don’t even have to say. He is paying attention to your reactions to things. This man does not know anything when it comes to wooing, or getting to know anyone, so he relys on watching you to figure you out and what you like.

Theres not a birthday or special event that gets missed. He is your own walking calendar.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

The first time you laughed at something he said. It was some shitty comment in passing about someone he used to know centuries prior. It was the first time you’d genuinely laughed at his hand, and hearing it made him warm up inside.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Very safe. Though, he would much rather wrap you in his arms and take off running than risk you at all. If it came down to it, this man would fight to the death for you. There is no way he’s going to risk losing the only person he can stand to be around.

Would also protect you in ways you may not think. He always has your back when you’re not there, and will protect your integrity as though it were his. If you talk shit about his partner, you are not getting away lightly.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

He tries his hardest. I wouldn’t say he gets it right every time, but he puts in genuine effort to make these days go well for you. That’s what counts.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He’s honestly pretty rude. He doesn’t know how to talk to people most of the time and will give unfiltered commentary even if it isn’t asked for. He doesn’t mean it to be hurtful, that isn’t his intention, he just genuinely doesn’t know how to socialise or interact with anyone else.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Before you he didn’t wash at all. He;d have twigs in his hair, mud under his fingernails and three week old blood on his shirt. Alistair couldn’t give a rats arse about how he looked, because no one saw him anyway.

After you he found himself taking more pride in his appearance. He may steal some new clothes, he’s washing after he feeds, and he takes care to get the sticks out of his hair. Still not particularly looks focused, but he doesn’t want you to be with an absolute slob.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Alistair still likes to spend time on his own. He’ll go and do his own thing for days at a time. He could not be with a partner that is co-dependent because it is simply not in his nature. Same goes for you, if you want to get away with friends, he will hold down the fort until you get back and tell him all about it.

If he were to lose you completely, though, he wouldn’t survive it. This man has been through too much to lose something else he cares for.

I honestly believe that even if you weren’t too keen on being turned, he would do it if he needed to in order not to lose you, and just hate himself for it later.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

This man is a prime shit talker. He loves the gossip, loves the drama. Will covertly ask you for more information so that he can have the tea. He’s judging hard too. He likes to people watch, and you’re the first to know when something strange happens, or if it’s simply something he doesn’t personally approve of.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

General – Large gatherings. In his mind there is nothing worse than making small talk with people in order to survive an event. Alistair will not be your plus one to that wedding. No way. He’d rather eat bricks.

He doesn’t like Edward, either. The melancholic little drama queen it way too up in his business for his liking, and if they’re forced to interact his inner monologue is in Middle English the whole time. That nosey git can go fuck himself honestly.

In a partner – He wouldn’t appreciate someone who is socially focused. While he’s happy for you to do your own thing, if you are constantly in need of company from others, he would simply not be with you. Same goes for co-dependency. IF you cant spend time apart, he isn’t interested.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

He does not, but sometimes he will sit in a complete still state and hes not at all there mentally. I wouldn’t consider this sleep, at all. Just winding down time for ya boy.

LMK what u think, this and other headcanons linked below. I feed on attention so pls give it to me

[therealvinelle]

George | Twilight Saga Wiki | Fandom This guy gives Romanian coven leaders vibes. Do you think he'd get along with them

(Anon is referring to Alistair's creator George, who claimed to be a demon named Astaroth. He conned Alistair's father into thinking he could make Alistair a demon who'd take the throne of England, and all Alistair's father had to do was surrender his wife and daughters.

One accidental patricide later, Alistair was so traumatized by the ordeal that he retreated to the English forests where he remains to this day.)

Frankly, George seems like he'd get along with a lot of the characters from canon. Bella, Emmett, Garrett, James, the Denali if he's cute, the newborns in The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, all come to mind right away as people who'd think George is a riot.

The Romanians would love him as well, I'm sure, and talk his ears full about how in the olden days, there was no notion of thrones belonging to anyone but vampires. Those were the days, George, and damn the Volturi!

If you're not too busy, would you mind doing the 💤 Napping HC and ⛅️ Sunset HC for Alistair please? Thank you :)

💤 Napping HC with Alistair:

- As much as Alistair loves you, most of the time, he gets so bored laying in bed with you.

- There’s very rare occasions when he can lay with you while you sleep or nap for a little bit, but most of the time, he works around your house or sits outside to give you a quiet space.

- When he does lay with you, he likes to hold you close to him. 

- The first time you ever napped on him, you had to tell him to give you a little room, just because he liked to hold you a bit too tightly sometimes. 

- He loves the moments he gets with you when you lie together like this, and wishes he was able to do it more often, but he’ll take what he can get.

⛅️ Sunset HC with Alistair:

- Alistair loves to be outside. I can see him living outdoors most of the time, just to be in nature.

- He is so happy that you like to be outside just as much as he does. 

- Your favorite activity to do with Alistair is watch the sunset.

- You both do this every. single. night.

- He always brings a blanket for you because some nights get chilly, depending on where you’re living at the time.

- This is his favorite time because you two talk about everything and you’re always so relaxed against him as you watch the sky change into different colors.

- He likes to watch you during this time. You always point out how pretty the sunset looks, no matter what. He enjoys the look of admiration in your eyes. 🥺

- He’s super cheesy and always tells you that you’re prettier than the sunset. 

- If you fall asleep on him, he’ll hold you close to him as the sky grows dark and then he will carry you back to the house to let you sleep properly.

Being Alistair's mate and reuniting with your sister Esme during the battle would include~

(my crap gif)(requested by @ateliefloresdaprimavera​ )

D- Y/n is the biological sister of Esme. She is turned by her mate Alistair on her deathbed after a violent fight with her husband. Years later she is able to reunite with her sister as they prepare to face the Volturi.  

(warning: light mentions of domestic abuse, drinking and death. Not graphic but I wanted to give a warning just in case)

- Following a drunk home was particularly easy. Hunting a human wasn’t difficult per say but the clean up could be. Yet, never drunks, they could be picked up and tossed in any alley and it wouldn’t make a difference either way. The police would go around and ask where they had been; ‘the bar’ would be a citizens answer and the case would be closed. Easy. Not that he really had to worry anyway.

- Alistair had been traveling for two days when he landing in your quaint little town. He was hungry and it was the perfect time to pick a prey. A married couple walked by, two business partners, individual important looking men, too important to not be missed. He was growing frustrated, but then he saw him, stumbling and red faced, the perfect target.

- The game of “chase” didn’t take very long, the poor bastard only lived a few minutes away from the bar. In no time Alistair was standing in the mans yard, leaning against a tree in the dark, waiting to strike. It was time and then it wasn’t. There was a light in the window...someone else was home.

- Alistair waited, contemplating leaving right then and there, if the man had someone living with him then he wasn’t worth the trouble. But then he heard it, a shrill cry that only a young woman could make and the reaction he had to it alarmed him. It physically hurt him to hear the sound, it made him feel the most awful sense of panic he had ever felt.

- He didn’t like it, in fact he couldn’t take it, so he made his way inside. The first thing he saw was the clean home, pristine save for the muddy marks the mans boots had made on the wooden floor. But then he saw the man, now illuminated by the light of the room down the hall, heaving and shouting as he shook and swung at something; someone. The next thing he knew he could hear a body drop to the floor. 

- In an instant he was inside of the room, his hands tearing the man away from the person and throwing him to the other side of the room. He quirked his head to the side, giving the person below him a long look. Giving you a long look, trying to take in every feature of your face.

- You were absolutely breathtaking. An angel that existed in a world of awful loathsome creatures. But you were dying, he could smell it on you. The effect the thought of you, a stranger, dying had on him was unlike anything he had ever felt. He wanted to keep you, he had to keep you, had to keep you alive, and so he would. He turned you that night and your lives were never the same.

- You were hesitant to trust him, you were hesitant to trust any man. Who wouldn’t be after all that you had been through? But Alistair was fine with waiting, in fact he seemed happy to. Even if you were his mate he had to get used to being around others nearly as much as you had to get used to being around him.

- Although he was brooding when you first met him it seemed that his mood had improved considerably with your growing presence in his life. You couldn’t deny that you enjoyed his company just as much as he enjoyed yours. You seemed like a match made in heaven. 

- It wasn’t long before the two of you were all but inseparable, hardly leaving each others sides and never wanting to. For the first time in a long time you were happy. 

- You’re on the move a lot, never staying in one place for too long. Alistair is a nomad at heart, it isn’t natural for him to settle down in one place. You don’t mind though, in your previous life you’d never been far outside of your home town. The change was welcome.

- You don’t stay in touch with many others like you, save for one person: Carlisle. 

- When Alistair told you about him and his family you felt a pang of sadness twist inside you. Esme, just hearing the name immediately upset you. It had been so long since you’d seen your sister, not even counting the years after you were turned. You’d tried to seek her out soon after you changed but couldn’t find a trace of her anywhere, years later you found her obituary. 

- Esme Cullen, you couldn’t get the name out of your head for days after you had heard it. You sat thinking of your sister as Alistair contemplated coming to the aid of the Cullen's during their time of need. 

- You were more excited then you should have been when he asked if you’d accompany him to their home and help in the battle. Perhaps you felt an odd sense of hope, as though this Esme could have ever possibly been your sweet Esme. 

- You arrived at the Cullen residence late in the evening nearly as anxious as Alistair. You both took comfort in your locked hands as you approached the door. 

- Before you could even knock it opened to reveal the tall blonde doctor your mate had mentioned. He gave you a warm welcome, telling you how it was a pleasure to meet you and urging you to come inside. Alistair squeezed your hand as you walked forward. 

- You could hear voices inside of the house, one room in particular; the living room you assumed; it made the most sense. The three of you quietly made your way into the room but you and Alistair hung back by the doorway. 

- The group before you turned for a moment to see who had arrived and in an instant you heard the sound of shattering glass. Your eyes shot to where the noise came from and then you went stiff. 

- Esme, brilliant, beautiful Esme standing off to the side of the room her eyes wide as though she’d seen a ghost... and perhaps in a way she had. Alistair stiffened beside you and pulled you protectively into his side, Esme’s eyes quickly moved to take in the man beside you before they shifted back to you. 

- She walked over delicately as though she was frightened you’d disappear before her eyes if she moved to fast. You moved from Alistair’s side and the two of you ran the rest of the way, wrapping your arms around each other. 

- You stayed that way for a long moment before she pulled away, her hands moving to cup your face, a quivering smile on her lips. “I thought you’d died. I thought you lived a normal life, my god what happened?”

“I should be saying the same thing to you,” You laughed quietly. “All those years ago, I read all about how you had died.” 

- You hugged each other again before you got a hold of yourselves and pulled away. You turned to look at Alistair and Esme acknowledged him fully for the first time. 

“My mate, Alistair.” You told her. 

“Boy do I have a surprise for you.”

- She smiled, laughing quietly as she took your hand and led you over to a group of vampires all with the same golden eyes. Edward was the first to come forward, offering you a smile, the confusion the rest of his” siblings” had was absent from his face. 

- You could feel Alistair behind you as you introduced yourself and tried to remember each of Esme’s “children's” names. Carlisle went to Esme’s side, telling the two of you that you should go somewhere private to properly reunite and catch up, that he’d talk to Alistair about what was in store for everyone. 

- You turned to look at your mate, a silent question on whether he was alright on his own. He gave you a reassuring nod and a soft smile, you beamed back at him as Esme took your hand and led you out of the room.

king of all birds – an alistair story

hey y'all! sorry as always for my very sporadic activity over here 😅

I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm working on a more long-form fic that tells alistair's story from twilight. I really want to get back into my own creative writing endeavors this summer, so I'm using this as a kind of warm-up to get back into the groove of things

since the world, the setting, the basic plot, etc. are already established in canon, I don't have to stress as much about building those things and can focus more on characters and also just finding my creative writing voice again

so I guess you can think of this as kind of a character study that explores alistair's life prior to his transformation and then also a little bit after

I genuinely have no idea if anyone else will read this – I'm mostly writing this as an exercise for me – but I thought I could go ahead and post it here anyway in the off chance that someone else wants to hear my way-too-detailed headcanons about an incredibly niche twilight character 😅😅

anyway, I have like 3-4ish chapters written and I'll probs start posting them here later in the week ☺️

just wanted to give a little heads-up for anyone who might be interested! 🥰

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

Who/what sort of person could be Alistair's (healthy) lover? If you care about Alistair having a lover anyway.

I mean, I do have to admit, anon, I don't care. I mean, I don't don't care to the same degree that I don't care about Bucky or Stucky, but I still don't care.

But alright, let's do this.

Who the Hell is Alistair?!

Alistair is one of Carlisle's old friends, his oldest, in fact. Carlisle came across him in the English forests after having discovered the deer diet. Alistair was living in a cave terrified of the world.

Centuries later, Alistair is still living in a cave, terrified of the world. He's coaxed out of hiding to be witness in Carlisle's trial, but then runs away when he spots Bella making preparations so that her daughter might escape in case they're all murdered.

Carlisle suspects that post Breaking Dawn he's gone back to being a hermit.

As for why Eleazar is this way, like all Meyer's vampires, he had the shittiest backstory that deserves its own Russian novel. His father was conned by a vampire going by the name of Astaroth (but whose real name is George) who told him that he could make his son a god and put him on the throne of England in exchange for Alistair's mother and sisters. (Notably, Alistair did not wish to be king of England, but he didn't get a say in this.)

Well, the deal was made, Alistair was turned, he accidentally murdered his father upon awakening, returned home to find his home burned and family murdered (as promised), then went a little mad and ran off to the English woods where he's still a neurotic mess in great need of therapy.

Who Does Alistair Need for a Healthy Relationship?

This man is not a good position to be in a healthy relationship. Relationships go two ways, yes, you need someone who can support and help you, but you have to be in a position to support and help another person.

Alistair is debilitatingly wracked with paranoia and anxiety to the point where he can't leave his house.

This wouldn't be good for his partner in the relationship and, more, it is not their job to be his therapist (though he does need one). It's not your job in a relationship to 'fix' your partner.

What Alistair really needs, again, is therapy. He needs to learn how to manage his anxiety and how to realistically evaluate threats in the world.

... Now, that said, there are no vampire therapists. Carlisle is the world's only vampire doctor, and it seems he stays firmly out of the realm of your noggin.

So, ah, maybe he can get an amazing pep talk from someone. Though Carlisle tried for several years if not a decade and failed. And the one time he did leave his cave he really did very nearly die (that confrontation in Breaking Dawn was wild).

So, best of luck, Alistair!

The Hawk and the Hare

An introduction to the first chapter of The Hawk and the Hare, an Alistair x OC slow burn.

Early morning fog settles over the rocky fields of the North Yorkshire Moors, passing through low shrubs of heather, leaving dew droplets in its wake. Taking advantage of the low visibility, a brown hare hops tentatively from shrub to shrub, not quite willing to risk being so careless despite being hidden from predators. A velvet nose twitches, snuffling across the wet grass, as beady yellow eyes dart up every so often to keep watch for birds of prey that would tear him apart. Ripping fresh roots from the near frozen earth, he feasts before the mist has a chance to dissipate with the rising sun. He finds a spot with particularly lush grass and juicy weeds and begins to have his fill. With his front paws, he digs, claws breaking through the hard ground before snuffling through the wet dirt in search of his meal.

Sensitive feet pick up the rumbling before his ears do, and he manages to dart out of the way of danger with milliseconds to spare as a pale hand breaks through the earth where he once stood, the hare does what he knows best, and he bounds through long grass taking twists and turns to flee the new danger he wasn’t expecting.

The dirtied hand claws at the ground, pulling apart the soil with too much ease. Rocks tumble down the sloped hill as the danger unearths himself, peaty soil caked in his blonde tresses. Wild, black eyes squint to avoid the harsh dawn and he lifts a blackened hand to shield them from the orange light he hadn’t been exposed to in nearly two decades. He takes an unnecessary deep breath, the icy winter air hurts his nostrils initially, but as famished as he was, he could immediately detect human blood in a north-eastern direction, around twelve miles out. As he had done for eighteen years though, Alistair was content to ignore his burning thirst for a little while longer and instead took a moment to get used to the light he was cut off from for such a long time. The fire in his throat was a dull ache he often learned to live with, ashamed of what he was and willing to let himself suffer for it.

The Moors hadn’t changed all too much over the centuries he had been wandering the earth, which was the very reason he chose to bury himself twenty feet beneath them , so that he could wallow relatively undisturbed for as long as he could manage in the comforting embrace of mother earth. His thirst he could deal with, as a being as old as himself had mastered patience and suffering. Despite his gaunt cheeks and the no doubt purple bags under his obsidian eyes, the burning in his throat was not at the top of his list of grievances.

Alistair’s pesky little talent had been irritating him for a short while now, give or take twenty years, leading him astray from what he had been looking for before he elected to bury himself and ignore it—as he usually does with things he does not take joy from. It pulled his insides apart the further he fled from it, and it wrung his guts in its fists the more he dwelled on it. It begged for him to follow it, as it always did, but with this it was difficult to ignore and that scared him. He did not know what—or who—waited for him at the end of this twisting knife in his belly, but whatever it was it was new. New was bad. Unknown. Foreign. Dangerous.

For the first few years with the worms, the pull was easy to ignore. He could preoccupy his mind with silly nothings in a language long forgotten. When it got even worse, he elected to simply think of absolutely nothing, laying frozen in time in an almost sleep—not quite aware of anything and yet attune to everything around him. Even when his thirst was at the back of his mind, the pull persisted. It would rear its ugly head at the worst moments.

Finally, enough was enough. He did not know what awaited him, but he was deathly sick of feeling torn in two like this. Whatever it was, he would find it and destroy it.

As always, taking headcanon requests and feedback.

Poor Demetri is about to lose his “best tracker in the world” sticker now that Aro knows that Alistair can track Bella, while he can not.

[jessicanjpa]

hello! i'm not sure if anyone's asked this yet but i recently got into twilight again and i'm really peeved by the way demetri is kind of 'undermined' in a way? and the way jasper is kinda overglorified too. like i get edward reads minds but demetri's probably had EXTENSIVE training, especially being besties with felix; they're like hitmen ffs (1/4)

and what are your thoughts on dem as a tracker? do you headcannon him as the GOAT of trackers or there could be another? and what about felix? is he like the GOAT of all the physically superior or is there something about him, maybe like an unconscious allure about him? (3/4)

also, I LOVE SECOND MEETING!! it's one of the most beautiful pieces of writing i have ever read and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING ABOUT DEMETRI, there is a severe lack of it and it's an insult to not have more written about him. out of curiosity (and fear tbh) will he die in the end? because if he does i want to be prepared for it xD (4/4)

Thank you so much for loving my Demetri! I feel like my headcanons for him are pretty different from most people's, so it's always nice when someone enjoys it.

I do think Demetri is the greatest tracker to ever live, at least in the last few thousand years for the Volturi to know about. James is really the only comparison that comes close in the saga (who knows what's going on with Alistair's gift). James's gift seems to be a combination of instinct and intelligence along with a great sense of smell... Demetri doesn't really need any of those things! Or at least, he's surpassed the need for them. His supernatural instinct as a human has sharpened into this psychic, almost telepathic ability to find literally anyone, anywhere, and his ability to track someone via the mind of a mere acquaintance is just mind-blowing. If he's ever met you, or even met someone who knows you, he will find you if he wants to. I don't know whether he operates more like a G.P.S. or a magnet (I assume both in tandem), but I imagine that from his perspective there's this whole world full of the minds he's catalogued and he can hone in on any one of them at any time. (So imagine how disturbed he was to run up against Bella's gift, especially when she spread her shield in BD and made all those other minds disappear!)

Demetri and Felix do make a great hit team, what with Demetri's ability to find literally anyone and Felix's skill in combat. They've probably trained to fight in tandem with each other. And their apparent friendship is actually pretty special, since in Volterra there's such a class distinction between gifted and ungifted. I don't primarily think of Demetri as a fighter (no details about that in canon, I don't think, and his gift wouldn't help) but like you said, he's been at this for a thousand years now. He's probably had every sort of training available to the Volturi, since his gift is an asset worth protecting at almost any cost.

Like Maria, the Illustrated Guide says Felix does not have a "quantifiable supernatural ability," so I guess that does leave a little wiggle room. (Maria seems to have a vague sort of Eleazar-type gift, after all, or at least very good instincts about a person's potential.) Felix's tenure is an interesting exception to the ungifted=temporary rule. Without or without an extra ability, I think he's charmed/fought his way to the top and has shown a strong ability to manage the other ungifted guards, so he's worth keeping too.

And having a gift isn't everything! Like you said, we tend to think of Jasper as being sooooo deadly in a fight, but in reality most of his combat experience is from fighting baby vampires, and his gift wouldn't even be all that useful in a complicated battle where his allies and enemies are all tangled up and moving every millisecond. He's deadly and experienced compared to the other Cullens and newbie werewolves. (I do think he's a formidable opponent when it's one on one, though, since he's probably able to use his gift more in that scenario.)

I'm not sure if you've reached the end of Second Meeting and if this is a spoiler--Demetri is still alive at the end of the fic, but he's... very broken. His loyalty has been patched up but it's so frayed and unpredictable. Aro and Caius were already wondering if it might be time to go tracker-shopping, and after his display in the final chapter, his life is definitely on the line. BUT you never know what could happen down the road... I would love for him to break free someday and make a life for himself. It'll take Aro and Caius a while (centuries?) to find anyone worthy of replacing him, so at least he's got time. (Chelsea would have to be neutralized somehow, so it's unlikely but... you never know what might happen.)
