can we just remember for a sec that james & victoria & laurent didn’t go to the clearing for a fight, they went bc they heard the baseball game and were like “ooh vampire baseball yes pls”

[taeisarchived-deactivated202205]

sir, that’s my emotional support beloved minor background character

[sfregiati]

i’ve always thought that, in twilight, instead of just coming and going so quickly, laurent sticks around the cullen home for maybe a few days... to help with information on james & victoria but also to learn from carlisle about the denalis before he leaves to alaska.   he’s never left alone, of course, and he abstains from feeding at all during this time to help make his presence a little easier to accept.

[sfregiati]

@roaslie​ said:   “you do not want this fight.”

no, laurent thinks, i don’t.   but this isn’t his fight.   it had never been his fight.   from the moment he’d sensed animosity, sensed the beginnings of war over this human girl, laurent had decided that he would no longer put his life on the line for james’ little games.   it did not benefit him any longer, and to stay and declare himself on james’ side would be foolish.   and laurent is many things, but he is not foolish.

“this is not my fight,” he says.   he’s chosen his side.   “i understand you and yours have suspicions, but believe me, i am here to help.”

laurent remembers, suddenly, what it was like being human in the midst of such incredible power and strength.   how invincible he felt being around boris so long ago, but also how terrified.   quite often he’d felt a mix of both, but laurent could only imagine how it felt to be this human girl now, with james so ferociously hunting her.   in all laurent’s years, he had never seen a better tracker, and he can’t help but wonder just how this will end.   the cullens have the numbers, perhaps skills that he knows nothing of, but james and victoria… he’s never known them to lose a fight.

“i haven’t a clue what this girl means to you…”   he could see what the human was to edward—and again he likens it to himself and boris to perhaps make it easier to understand—but what did she matter to the rest of them?   why would they feel the need to protect her so fiercely?   “but i know very well what she means to james.   he will scour the earth for her.   he will not stop until he’s killed her and victoria will stay at his side no matter how costly it will be for her.   —   when they are together, they are lethal.”

laurent takes a cautious step forward then, further into the cullen home, and hopes they can see he means no harm.   he’s just so, so very curious... so many questions needing answers, so many puzzle pieces without ways to fit.   and again, seeing all these vampires so willing to fight no matter the odds—how will this end?

“i know them far better than you could ever hope.   let me help.”

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

in my breaking dawn verse, laurent is with the denalis when they offer to be witnesses for the cullens in the volturi confrontation, 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?

who is he, 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 each of them 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.

in laurent’s main verse (unaffiliated) & in any earlier twilight verses (before he goes to alaska to be with the denalis), he’s very much morally gray and sometimes just… a straight up bad person and i think i want to touch on that more in my writing/developing going forward. boris was and still is a very prominent figure in laurent’s life and has shaped him in a lot of ways… and boris wasn’t inherently a kind vampire. often, he had fun at the expense of humans and taught laurent to do the same. as vampires, it came natural to both of them to use and discard humans however they pleased because that’s what vampires do. they often played horrible little games with humans to cure their boredom (bc what are you supposed to do for fun when you’ve got all the time in the world?) and immersed themselves in the human world solely to take advantage of them. for laurent, always so driven to learn, he liked to see what made the humans tick—and he would use tactics like manipulation, mind games, temptation and fear to satisfy that need. a lot of times, the outcomes of this were very, very horrible.

laurent wasn’t/isn’t always good and sometimes the lines still might bleed together or go unnoticed completely.

reminder that laurent is heavy into supernatural/occult studies and has crafted it into a profession over the years. a self-titled supernatural historian, laurent has met, studied and learned about all kinds of creatures and things of extraordinary natures. he’s collected witches grimoires, rare spells/herbs/plants, cursed objects, ancient texts, etc. and it’s likely that if you’re looking for information on a supernatural being/object/myth, he’s the one to go to!

laurent is a carlisle cullen success story and you can’t change my mind.

laurent’s skin naturally feels chilled, as if he’s just come from a walk in winter air, and he tends to stick to colder climates because of this. while it isn’t too alarming, living in colder places makes it easier to blend in and makes the temperature difference much harder to notice.

[sfregiati]

“I’m sorry for what’s been unleashed here,” Laurent continued. “Truly sorry.” .... “Laurent’s eyes swept through the room, appreciating a kind of life he’d left behind long ago. Though this was not a palace, and he’d lived in several, there was an atmosphere of permanence and sanctuary here that he’d not felt in centuries.”

[sfregiati]

boris was a very proficient fighter, a trained militant in his human life, and he ingrained in laurent that very same knowledge. while laurent doesn’t look the part (as he comes across as a very calm, collected individual), he is very capable when it comes to physical fights; he’s a quick thinker, highly adaptable, and, as someone who has studied the subject at great lengths, he’s known to be one of the best when it comes to combat strategy. although laurent is not typically prone to violence (and often views it as a last resort), he will very easily finish a fight once it’s started.

[sfregiati]

in case you were wondering, i love you and i hope you have a great day/night.

laurent only tried to attack bella in new moon because he was in the middle of a hunt.   if he had not already given in to his baser instincts, there would have been no danger to her at all.   he was in forks as a favor for victoria, who he considered a friend despite his departure from james’ coven, and he was gathering information for her to settle a debt he felt he owed her—nothing more.   he fully intended to leave back to denali when he had settled into the animals-only diet again—with no harm coming to bella (or anyone connected to her) by his hands.
