twilight fic from last decade that still slaps

I’m so delighted we have such incredibly talented fic writers in the renaissance that are giving us whole new worlds to explore, but I also wanted to expose newbies who maybe weren’t here last time around (or perhaps, weren’t consumed by the fic like I was) to some stories that are still really good, even 10 years later. I hope you guys like these stories as much as I did!

Canon 

(things that could have conceivably taken place in or around the books):

Metamorphosis

Midnight Sun Continued

The List

Family Therapy Cullen Style

You’ve Kept Me Waiting

Alternate Canon 

(the universe is mostly the same, except for a few details that have huge affects. often, it takes some delving into the story to figure out exactly what changed, which is part of the fun)

Bonne Foi*

Reboot

Ethan Church

Blood Master* (ok this one is only from half a decade ago, but it’s SO. GOOD.)

Business Casual

Alternate Universe 

(a pretty broad category– takes what is convenient from canon, and goes crazy with everything else)

Across The Universes

The Mirrors

The Blessing and the Curse*

Once More With Feeling

All Human 

(our faves, minus the supernatural)

The Best I Ever Had

Living Backwards^

Bella Swan: Kidnapper

The Red Line*

In-Verse & Reverse

Breaking the Silence*

Life’s Little Choices

When We Were Young

Girl With the Red Umbrella

Post-Canon

 (a look at how things might develop in the future)

A Federation of Cassandras

*an asterisk indicates a darker, more intense fic, and you can message me for TWs

^ you’ll need to message me for the link to this one bc it’s no longer online, but i’m still totally obsessed with it. a 28 year old no-longer-quiet-and-timid bella accidentally time travels a decade back to her last month in high school. she tries to fix the things she thinks went wrong in her friends lives. along the way, she falls in love. absolutely hilarious, wonderful, super fun fic. pulled to publish (but the book isn’t as good– i read that one too)

[densewentz]

Baby photos evidently i don’t understand the phrase ‘quick sketch’ but i will never turn down a chance to good-naturedly shame 1 (one) immortal ginger (feat. ultimate dad carlisle, and bella ‘extremely psyched to have this future blackmail material lying around’ swan) thank you for the ask! assorted twilight trash (6/?)

Dee did you know the Wolfpack actors knew Taylor wasn’t Native American

Here’s the interview from the web archives

https://web.archive.org/web/20100619091323/http://movies.about.com/od/newmoon/a/wolfpack-interview_3.htm

i’m dead as fuck @ this interview

In the movie, you all have tattoos. Do you have real tattoos or would you like to have one?

Chaske Spencer: "We all have real tattoos."

Alex Meraz: "Which take about three hours getting covered up. One thing we have been talking about is maybe, depending on where this goes, by the end of the films, we're thinking about getting the wolfpack tattoo."

Chaske Spencer: "Yeah, it's been a real experience for all of us."

Alex Meraz: "It's a milestone."

Chaske Spencer: "It's a milestone. It's changed our lives."

Is Taylor going to have the tattoo, too?

Chaske Spencer: [Laughing] "Oh, I can't speak for him."

Alex Meraz: "Maybe if he's 18 by the time we do it!"

What was your first reaction whenever you first saw your wolf in the finished film?

Bronson Pelletier: "When Paul changed, I honestly…"

Alex Meraz: "He had to change his underwear!"

Bronson Pelletier: "I literally got goosebumps. I was like, 'Wow, that's awesome!' It looks amazing. Chris Weitz does an amazing, amazing job, and the special effects team."

Alex Meraz: "Yeah, Phil Tippett. He did an amazing job with the special effects. For me, I'd always wanted to be in a film where it's not so much driven with CG, but I could be something bigger than life, I could have some kind of superpower. So for me to be able to transform into a wolf and have a fight and all that, I was like a kid in a candy store. I couldn't ask for anything more."

Did the wolves all suit you?

Everybody: "Oh, yeah!"

Alex Meraz: "There were mannerisms that Phil Tippett and his team actually did to make them all stand as individuals. You can tell the difference between one wolf and the other, and also suited it to what our characters were and what we brought to the table."

Chaske Spencer: "And our eyes. Our eyes stay the same."

Bronson Pelletier: "Our real eyes are actually on our wolves, so it's pretty cool."

Taylor is not Native American, so can you talk about teaching what Native American means to you?

Chaske Spencer: "He was very open about that. He understands. We did the best we could with him, and he's the right guy for the part. He's the right guy for the part, and I'm very protective of him."

Kiowa Gordon: "He's like our brother."

Chaske Spencer: "He's like our brother. Nothing but mad love for him."

What did you talk about teaching him?

Chaske Spencer: "We asked a lot of stuff about the tribes and stuff like that, and we would talk to him and tell him. There are certain things that I do in my culture that I told him about, and he was really open to it."

Alex Meraz: "That's the thing. We're not even Quileute. The tribes we are is not Quileute. So for us to represent that tribe, it's as if we weren't even Native. It wouldn't really matter, because they have different customs than all of us do. It wasn't like we had to teach him how to be a Quileute Native, because we don't know how to be that either. All we had was our culture to bring into the filmmaking. We just knew how to respect the mythology of the tribe, and Taylor definitely is receptive to it."

Chaske Spencer: "He has his own culture, and he could draw from that."

How did you learn about the Quileutes and what do you know now about them?

Alex Meraz: "During the process of auditioning, I did as much research as I could about the Quileutes, knowing that they're whalers. They inspired the shape of their canoes to be pretty much clipper ships. They were really fast, and they were able to go from the Washington area all the way down to San Diego hunting whales. I learned about the mythology, really, the creation story. The Quileute came from wolves and transformed into people, but they don't go back. That's the thing, they don't go back. That's the aspect that Stephenie changed and took some things and put it in this fantasy realm."

Chaske Spencer: "I was amazed by the storytelling, which you were talking about. I was really attracted to that."

Was it awkward to spend so much time with your shirt off in the movie, or did you get comfortable with it?

Chaske Spencer: [Laughing] "Whatever puts the ladies in seats for the tickets!"

Alex Meraz: "That's what we've been telling guys. 'Guys, watch the film, because your girlfriends will be watching it.'"

Chaske Spencer: "The thing is though, there's action in New Moon. So bring the boyfriends, I think they'll really like it."

Alex Meraz: "They don't have a choice. Their girlfriends are going to be there."

Chaske Spencer: "They don't have a choice."

Alex Meraz: "But it wasn't awkward. By the time we got to start filming, we had already been working out shirtless. You know, it's like a costume. It really is. You wear it, you don it and you own it. You can't be intimidated about your body. That's not the time to be doing that, when that little red light's blinking and you're being filmed."

Chaske Spencer: "It also helps us get into character as well."

Bronson Pelletier: "Exactly. As soon as I got out there with my shorts and no shirt on, I felt the part, you know?"

Alex Meraz: "As soon as I got the bronzing on, I felt it."

Bronson Pelletier: "Good old bronzing. That always ended up on my socks."

Chaske Spencer: "That stuff is hard to wash off, too."

Alex Meraz: "I think they put motor oil on us."

Have any of you had any offers to be in magazine or on a cover shirtless?

Chaske Spencer: "Yeah. You know, this franchise, you're going to see us with our shirts off a lot. No more taking the shirts off. It's going to be up there, immortal, on film."

Alex Meraz: "It was in the contract. 'Beware, you're going to be objectified.'"

Chaske Spencer: "Oh yeah. We are the pieces of meat."

Alex Meraz: "But I did something for People magazine shirtless. But at this point, it's all in respect to the film. So it's fine for this particular franchise. If I was doing something else and I had a suit on, I'm sure they'd want me in a suit for publicity or for other things. So, it's for a project."

How cold did it get?

Alex Meraz: "About 30 degrees, raining. Pretty cold. Very cold."

Chaske Spencer: "Like he said, we could cut glass with our nipples."

Alex Meraz: "We had a glass-cutting company: Wolfpack & Friends."

[teamjacobthot]

wait wait wait but there’s parts 1 and 2 of this interview as well!!! im sorry it’s out of order but it’s a good read

Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon – The Wolfpack Interview

Was there a wolf boot camp for this or was it just how to make your abs look great?

Chaske Spencer: "No, they made us work out. It was an hour of training, they got us a trainer. It was a guy who helped out on 300. They threw us into the training for maybe an hour and ten minutes, and it was a lot of circuit training and muscle confusion. We also ate a lot. We ate six meals a day, three protein shakes a day."

Alex Meraz: "And thanks to Chaske, we also ate a lot of apple pie."

Chaske Spencer: "Yes. Dessert, too. Yeah, I was a bad influence."

Bronson Pelletier: "We did strength training, conditioning, weight training, lots of cardio. It was pretty intense."

Alex Meraz: "It was definitely crucial to the bonding, too. That's really what helped out with building the chemistry on set. And even during filming, I think it really helped out a lot. We had a blast. We supported each other, we even made fun of each other. You know, like who could do the most push-ups or whatever. It really helped out with our characterizations."

Chaske Spencer: "I think the chemistry, you'll see it on the screen. We all get along, and that's really cool and surprising, because in some films you just don't get along with the other people. But this time around, they picked the right people."

You guys have no trouble looking great with your shirts off in the rain and around the breakfast table. Will you talk about both of those scenes?

Chaske Spencer: "The rain was pretty hard. At one point, we all huddled up together to use our bodies to keep warm. It was definitely pretty cold. We all got through it, you know?"

Alex Meraz: "I think Bronson had the best explanation of it. He said we had a cutting-glass business."

Chaske Spencer: "Our nipples were rock hard."

Bronson Pelletier: "Yeah, definitely. And on top of it, there was the fake rain, too. It wasn't warmed-up rain either, mind you. It was cold rain coming on top of us, blankets of rain, too. It was pretty wild."

The breakfast table scene is really interesting because that's the aftermath of the big explosion, so how about that?

Chaske Spencer: "For me, you get to see all their characters. Their characters come alive. You see Paul's character, Bronson's, all of them come alive and they get dialog. Plus, you know, I've got a kissing scene with Tinsel Korey, which was pretty good to do."

Alex Meraz: "To speak more on that, it's the first time you actually see them more as humans. You see the relationship, that we're brothers. Before then, it's a little more ominous. There's more foreshadowing - you see the scene before where I try to kill Bella. So that's the first time you see the friskiness, the playfulness, which I think really helps out."

Bronson Pelletier: "It shows definitely the camaraderie of us all, you know?"

Chaske Spencer: "The sense of humor. That's where you really see the chemistry."

Did you have to keep up all that training going into Eclipse? Were you not allowed any downtime between the movies? How hard was that to maintain?

Alex Meraz: "We had about four months...and it's hard."

Chaske Spencer: "It's hard to keep that up, because it's a lot of diet. It's tough."

Bronson Pelletier: "Mainly dieting. It's really important."

Talk about the bonding. Did you hang out as a pack?

Chaske Spencer: "Yeah."

Bronson Pelletier: "Oh, of course! I love hanging out with these guys."

Chaske Spencer: "The film schedule, it's so big. There's a ton of cast members, so we don't get to hang out with all the cast members so we just ended up hanging out with each other. It was good company."

What did you do in Vancouver?

Chaske Spencer: "We went bowling. That was cool."

Bronson Pelletier: "Watching movies all the time. Go out dancing, you know, whatever."

Chaske Spencer: "Clubs, work out together, movies."

Did you live at the same complex?

Alex Meraz: "Yeah, we stayed at the same hotel. Even outside of filming, we would text each other, call each other, just to make sure we're still alive. We were like brothers. We really care for each other, and it's important. We got really lucky in doing a film where you actually care about your cast mates, which is important. We're committed to doing Eclipse and stuff, and it really helped out. I think people are going to see it on screen."

Chaske Spencer: "You gotta understand, we're all going through this. We're not just individuals in this whole Twilight phenomenon, so we check in with each other and make sure everyone's okay. The attention, it can mess with people's heads. No one gives you a book on how to go through this, so we make sure we're all right."

Alex Meraz: "Don't cry for us. [Laughs] Don't weep for us!"

Chaske Spencer: "Well, what's cool is that we get to help people as well. When you meet certain people, it's pretty cool. I remember when I was a kid, meeting some of my heroes, like, 'Oh, they're really nice guys. They're really cool people.'"

Bronson Pelletier: "I did a couple of Make a Wish Foundation things. You know, brightening up somebody's day. If you have that kind of power, it's pretty good."

Alex Meraz: "I think also, as representatives for Native Americans in this franchise, we have a responsibility not to be a bad image. We're portraying Natives and that's what they're going to see. I think it's time for us to kind of rewrite what Hollywood's take on Native Americans was, which was long hair blowing, noble kind of people…"

Chaske Spencer: "Leather and feather."

Alex Meraz: "Leather and feather period pieces. So now you see something in a contemporary setting, and you see us to be humans. It's great. I think it's a great thing."

Kind of human.

Alex Meraz: [Laughs] "Yeah, there you go, kind of human. But we're not demonized, which is important. It's done in a very tasteful way."

What is it you wanted to convey in the movie as far as Native American culture?

Alex Meraz: "During the process of casting, when I was waiting to hear word if I got a role or not, there was a through-line of me - I prayed every night. I was asking for permission even to represent the Quileute tribe. I was putting out a lot of good thoughts. In essence, even though we're taking some of their mythology, their creation story, and it's mixed in a fantasy, still we're taking from the culture. Being Native, we needed to be conscious of that and ask permission to the people of the past, present and of the future for it. It's a very conscious thing. Native Americans, they have a right to be protective of their stories."

Chaske Spencer: "We're all Native. We're all Natives. And we're not just saying Native Americans. [Points to Pelletier] He's from Canada."

Alex Meraz: "Native of the Americas. It's not a linear term."

Chaske Spencer: "We try to represent well, because we're very fortunate to be here and to represent our people in a contemporary way. And a lot of responsibility does come with that. We're getting offers as well for roles that are non-specific for Natives - some guy that doesn't have to be Native. We're very fortunate and blessed for that. We've got a lot to bring to the table. We come from a different angle, too. We come from a different angle, being Native. We have a different outlook on life as well. We like Stephenie's writing and she's represented pretty well. Very blessed to be here."

It seems like Native Americans are always shown as wise old men. The only sexy Native American you ever see is Adam Beach. For you guys, that has to feel pretty exciting. Also, being Native American, you have a connection with land animals. Playing a werewolf, do you find any sort of different feeling about animals like coyotes or wolves?

Chaske Spencer: "Well, you have to have a balance as well. I know a lot of Natives who are lawyers and doctors who don't always wear their hair in braids. I think that's a misconception from what Hollywood and pop culture has on us, stereotyping. Not all of us are like that."

Alex Meraz: "Hollywood, they thought Adam Beach was the only Native American left!"

Chaske Spencer: [Laughing] "I lost out on a lot of roles to that guy."

Alex Meraz: "Exactly, yeah, we were extinct except for Adam Beach. They were almost going to put him at the Smithsonian being the last Native American! So it's kind of good that people did their research. A lot of thanks goes to Rene Haynes. She was kind of the Native American liaison who added to casting. Joseph Middleton did the primary casting, but Rene had cast Chaske before in other projects, myself as well. She knows her stuff. That was a good thing that Summit did. They really made sure they did it right for the wolfpack."

Can you describe your relationship in the movie with Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner?

Bronson Pelletier: "He's like a little brother, right?"

Kiowa Gordon: "He's my best friend in the movie. It's kind of scary to us, seeing these guys. We were just normal kids, and these guys were running around with their shirts off and we thought they were some gang going around, saying they were peacekeepers of our tribe and what-not."

Chaske Spencer: "We helped him phase. He doesn't want to become a werewolf. No one wants this. It just happens; this is what we're dealt. When the Cullens came around, that's when we started phasing. My character, he was the first one to phase, so my relationship to these guys - I'm sort of the big brother, the mentor, the father figure to help them. We are like a band of brothers, like a rock band, and suddenly Jacob starts to phase, and he has some choices to make and he has to join us. We surround him and tell him it's not that bad."

Alex Meraz: "It's like going through puberty is what we had to tell Jacob. It's like going through puberty. You're gonna get a lot of hair, things are going to change, but you'll get through it."

Did you guys do the same kind of thing with Taylor, ribbing him?

Alex Meraz: "Yeah, that's what we were talking about. Taylor was a part of all that. He took us bowling at one point. He's an amazing bowler, by the way. A little known fact about him."

Chaske Spencer: "He's a good guy. He's really a good guy."

Alex Meraz: "He's fine. We had a really good time, all of us together. For Taylor, too, this was his. The first movie, it was more about the Cullens and that little family. In this one, it's about the wolfpack, so I think he felt really comfortable and definitely wanted to spend more time with us. It was good. We all helped each other out and had a great time."

Chaske Spencer: "He's a strong actor. He's really a strong actor, and I think this movie is going to launch him to a different level. He's a good actor. He put a lot of heart into it. Obviously on his body, he gained 30 pounds. He's dedicated."

thank god vampirism is a flexible metaphor

[quietwingsinthesky]

it’s about being queer it’s about surviving assault it’s about alienation and most of all it’s about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didn’t ask to die and you didn’t ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.

THE DRAMA 2026 — dir. Kristoffer Borgli

[ignisarrow]

I feel tired. So hard to draw regularly bcs of this but I try. I just hope it's not a depressive episode 😬

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

it would've been 100% funnier if Edward's approach to getting Bella to appreciate her humanity was less begging her to not be a vampire and more....forcing himself to hang out with her human friends so she has a normal teenage experience lmao

could you imagine Edward Cullen at like...a high school football game?

getting dragged to an amusement park on senior ditch day

at some party and he has to pretend to be drunk to fit in with all the others

Mike, Eric, Tyler and Ben all start insisting on calling him Eddie

he goes on shopping trips with the girls because he's the only one with a running car that also has trunk space for their bags

he starts using his mind reading powers for The Gossip(tm) and Jessica is absolutely obsessed...finally someone with decent intell

God at some party everyone's lowkey high and they start playing truth or dare and Edward's using his powers to choose the least embarrassing option but Bella catches on and Edward Trusts Her so she picks him and he's expecting something tame like...truth what's your favorite color, dare kiss me or something lol but Bella looks him in the eyes and with no mercy dares him to strip tease while rapping an Eminem song. Mike films it. Edward didn't talk to her at all the next day lmao

they all go see a horror movie together and to Bella's absolute delight 1) it turns out to be a vampire movie and 2) Edward falls for every single jump scare

The Guys(tm) invite Edward to some weird bro bonding sleep over and Edward's expecting to be bored out of his mind without Bella but 3 redbulls, 2 video games and one ouija board session later they're all crying about their deepest fears to each other. Edward's telling them he's scared that if Bella marries him it will doom her eternal soul to hell but he can't live without her and they're like 'Eddie dude that's so specific calm down' 'have you considered therapy man??' 'bro you guys are 17'

Edward and Bella get roped into helping out with the senior prank and it goes t e r r i b l y. First time in half a century one of the Cullens have gotten suspended from school lmao

he sneaks Angela's little brothers candy every time they hang out at her house

Jessica begs him to tell her what Rosalie's skincare routine is but the vampire's don't even really have to shower they can just wipe stuff off and be good to go and he knows Nothing about skincare so he panics and tells her something absolutely batshit that nearly ruins her skin and Bella and Esme make him treat Jess to a spa day as an apology and Rose searches up everything on human skincare and buys some stuff for her

GOD can you imagine how helpful it would of been during eclipse to have completely non-objective friends chime in on the love triangle bullshit...Edward can vent about it without mentioning the vampire's and werewolves and they can tell him he's being dumb because she's clearly head over heels for him and is just friends with Jake

He's like 'but what if she stops loving me,,,' and they're like 'dude she's literally wedding planning with your sister and mom right now please shut the fuck up'

one day they plan a beach trip to somewhere other than La Push and it's cloudy enough that Edward should be fine if he keeps a shirt on and from then on the group has a mission: See Edward Shirtless. they go to LENGTHS. switching into his gym class. spilling things on him. begging Bella to take pictures for them. Good Christian Edward(tm) is scandalized but Bella thinks it's hilarious and keeps telling them he had crazy tattoos

Edward trying to fake pop culture knowledge to fit in but it's not working so he actually has to start paying attention to shit from the current decade and now he won't stop ranting to Bella about Harry Potter and he's very invested in Britney Spears' mental health

Edward trying to decode text talk and everyone makes fun of him bc he texts like a grandpa

Edward after one joint is on a full rant about how America should have handled the Spanish Influenza- like he has a detailed list of complaints and ideas- and everyone is like 'Bella I know he's rich but he's such a nerd Are You Sure you love him' skdjjdmd

anyway. let the old man act like a teenager for once. as a treat.
