laurent’s new blog: @sfregiati

[powaer]

just popping in to say .... have you ever thought of how laurent would be after losing irina? i have.

in my main verse, laurent is with the denali’s when they offer to be witnesses for the cullens in breaking dawn, so he’s there with them when caius kills her.... and give me laurent having to be forcefully held back like irina’s sisters were because this is the one moment where his heart rules him - and to avenge irina’s death would either start a war or a massacre. the shock of it after, the feeling that he’d lost everything because where does he belong in the denali coven without irina? struggling not to go on a killing spree because why does it matter now without irina?

back in alaska, carmen’s constant trips out to laurent and irina’s favorite spot, where laurent has sat propped up against a tree for days on end, mourning by himself because he doesn’t feel as if he has the right to mourn alongside kate and tanya. he and carmen have long conversations during this time - about irina at first, but then about family, the past, etc. laurent, weeks later, finally coming around enough to come inside and all he has the strength to do is place his hand on tanya’s shoulder and vow his loyalty. he promises both her and kate that he will prove himself worthy of the love irina showed him.

there are a few times where the anger gets the best of him and his control slips a little too fast to save the victims of his own bloodlust. eleazar steps up to train with him - and “training” consists of whatever keeps their minds from irina’s death. laurent’s “slip ups” become few and far between. he and kate bond over a steady anger that never quite simmers no matter what they do or what they tell themselves. it’s talking with kate that shifts laurent’s views of the volturi being systematic rule enforcers. he begins to view aro as a tyrant.

irina’s death will never become easy, but a year later laurent will finally feel like he belongs. loyalty is no longer the only thing that keeps him in denali - love becomes a part, too.

kindlystopped‌,   victoria.

❛     DON’T  BE  SHY  ——– we’re  all  friends  here.   ❜          cat  like  smile  curls  red  lips  as  crimson  eyes  flicker  over  him.         ❛    tell  me  more.   ❜

"i have never been shy,"  laurent promises her, the edge of his lips upturning to create a lopsided smile.   he glances to james, only long enough to prove that he is not overlooking him for victoria.   "what more is there to know?   my past isn't an eventful one,  and certainly cannot be as colorful as your own  –  or your mate's."

izbelas‌,   bella.

          ‘   maybe i’m trying to find closure,   ’        the human girl hums,      fingertips tickling the keys of the ivory piano,        left in stasis since the departure of the cullen family.      maybe it was the golden hue of his irises,      the curious lilt to his tone or the knowledge he had taken up residence with the denail’s that  soothes bella  to the vampire’s presence.     and while there was no trust since her run in with james,       she understood that laurent played no part.      but after everything,      she was surprised to run into him in the  old home  she used to frequent.     ‘   or maybe i just like torturing myself,  ’   bella sighs and takes sits down in the nearest armchair,   disturbing the  thin layer of dust  that pushes her into a sneezing fit.      ‘  why’re you here ?   ’

after so long spent in the denali’s secluded alaskan home, bella’s human scent burns his throat and tests his newfound self-control.   the sudden misery is, in a way,  self-inflicted,  and so her notion of self-torture rings true in quite a maddening way.   he’s as surprised as she is to be meeting again this way,  here,  without the cullen coven behind her,  but his polite smile gives nothing away.   he moves to take her lead and with a pace that’s inhuman, he rests in the seat across from her.   inquisitive amber eyes watch her carefully as he openly ponders her question.   he had never lied to the cullens  –  and by extension, her;  to start now would be pointless.   “i’m here as a favor for a friend  –  for victoria.   she’s a little put out, you know, after losing james,”   it’s an understatement, he knows, by far.   “truthfully, i’m surprised to see this place empty, to see you alone.   i’d thought it bizarre before, the way your vampires called themselves a family, but i see now why that was....   so you understand why i would have thought they’d take you along with them should they leave here.”

she   stole the colour   from the room the moment she arrived,      a golden glow warming the brisk morning chill.       she was utterly remarkable in her  ordinary dullness,       nothing spectacular but   still otherworldly   in her creation.      the earth shook,    and fell at her oblivious feet.       highly divergent      isabella swan     of the twilight saga.

also just a reminder: you definitely do not have to answer every inbox thing i send in if you don’t feel like it! i send more than one just in case there are ones that don’t quite work/give enough inspiration.

like this if i can throw laurent in your inbox!

so i have this headcanon that while laurent was with james and victoria, they shared the story of alice with him.   i can't imagine james’ so-called ''failure'' to be easy to talk about and that alone would have been really intriguing to laurent  –  who had never seen (or even imagined) james failing at a hunt.   i don't think laurent knew who alice was when they all met in the clearing but he did know of her, and he knew the stories of both her and her creator  –  at least from james & victoria's perspectives.

i think, after that, he might've been a little infatuated with the idea of her.   if she was powerful enough to evade james‚ the most powerful tracker laurent had ever met, what else could she do?   who else could she best?   and i feel like once he realized that she really was the alice (and i haven’t yet thought about when this might happen), that would have been yet another reason for him to want to stay with the cullens initially  –  and open his mind more to the idea of staying with the denalis.   and also i really love the idea of laurent allowing alice a little insight into that human memory eventually.

viividpurity,   irina.

by far, she has received better compliments. men admiring her beauty, comparing her to nature’s nuances. poetry has been served to her before, and yet his words are the most beautiful compliment she has ever received. as a human, she would have blushed, there is no doubt.

     they’ve messed around in the forest once again. her love for nature has grown these past weeks, irina rarely likes to stay inside these days. it is obvious her company is responsible for this change, though the love has already been there. lying on her back, the sunset above them, she laughs whole-heartedly as they share some stories. oh she feels so young and free, so alive. her eyes have closed for a moment before the words reach her ears and they shoot open again.

          ‘ you have a nice laugh. ’

head turns, bright eyes gazing at him for a moment as if to decide whether or not he had truly just given her a compliment. oh, but she smiles so brightly, playful even. irina cannot resist, has to tease before she rolls onto her side. “oh, i am sure that is what you tell all the ladies, isn’t it? a charming smile, a nice compliment and you have them wrapped around your finger.”  it works for her but she won’t admit.

laurent's wide grin is as bright as hers,  but certainly not as beautiful.   he openly adores her now;  watches as her amber eyes open and close,  as her blonde curls tousle when she turns to face him.   the remnants of the sun light up her features so brilliantly and laurent is doubtful that there is a smile out there that is more breathtaking than her own.

     she is a goddess incarnate,  and oh, how blessed he is to be at her side.

he laughs along with her teasing and his eyes flash with humor.   with a quiet chuckle, he matches her joke in kind,  "it's true.   i am quite the catch."   with quick movements, laurent wraps his arm around her waist and tugs her closer so that her body is flush with his own.   her skin feels warm against his own and for a second he finds himself lost as he gazes up at her.   his heart swells with love,  only ever for her.

when his momentary trance ends, his fingertips begin to trace distracted patterns against the skin of her hip.   "you are the only one i want wrapped around my finger, irina.   and my charming smile, as you've so graciously put it, is reserved only for you."   with his free hand, laurent reaches up to shift her hair over her shoulder,  "you know,  you will miss the sunset again tonight if you keep up with your clever little jokes."   still, laurent doesn't take his own advice  –  his gaze remains fixated on irina.   he'd miss a thousand sunsets if it meant he could spend that time in admiration of her.

i would give my left lung for a victoria

for all of laurent’s intelligence and civilized social skills, he sucks at interacting with little kids. he never knows what they’re saying, he’s always confused, and they like to tug on his beard way too much for his liking.

[powaer]

#that’s if they can even stand his presence instead of running scared to their parents automatically#for human children at least!#supernatural children aren’t so scared of him or so put off by him.

ok but: humans are typically drawn to laurent bc of enhanced characteristics like scent and beauty. it’s part of the whole “predator intrigue” thing, but children often see things as they are. they aren’t blinded by these things the way adults often are, so they’re put off by laurent instead of drawn in, because they can see the lion pretending to be the sheep.

laurent remained human while with his creator, boris, for eleven (11) years.   one of the few reasons he chose to betray james and victoria by confiding in the cullens was because he empathized with bella swan.   he remembered what it was like to be a vampire’s pet, to be a fragile human in the midst of impossible powers and dangers unknown and, on some deeper level, he could relate to her plight and wanted to help in some small way by informing the cullens of james’ plan.

y’all my little sister is in a high school program in our local community college and she’s got this english course that has her write little 2-4 paragraph papers for participation grades  &  i’m more interested in writing than she is so i usually just throw her some of my old writings or write her something that she can turn in.   so last night she asked me to write her a 2-paragraph thing and i wasn’t in the mood to write smth new so i took one of my old short stories i wrote for a college english course  &  trimmed it down for her to turn in.   her english teacher literally praised her for the entire course period and printed out a copy to show to all of the other english teachers on the floor.   he said that my sister could be a writer,  and the writing i gave her was something i wrote almost two years ago.

tldr;   i’m crying bc i impressed a high school english teacher.
