Bella Swan/Carlisle Cullen

“Carlisle, you couldn’t be damned.” She shakes her head, insisting, “You couldn’t. It’s impossible.”

If he is damned, then surely the saints are too.

Status Update + My Return to ORV

Hello y'all! Despite my total radio silence here on Tumblr over... who knows how long, I'm doing just fine! I was on a writing hiatus for 6 months or so, and I also transitioned from grad school to industry (writing a master's thesis, defending it, graduating, moving across the country, a job search, so many interviews, finally getting a new job, moving across the country again, and settling into my new role).

In the past few months, I returned to the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and Scum Villain's Self Saving System fandoms (old faves of mine, but I was only ever a reader until recently). For those of you following my Winter Light Verse (still planning the continuation of that one out, and I hope to finally break the series hiatus earlier next year!), those two fandoms had a massive influence on my Verse. Especially in the case of ORV - so it feels like I'm finally moving back, however slowly. I'm excited to continue being active in all of those fandoms (along with S-Classes, which I recently ran into and love!)

As for what I'm doing right now? I took on the Froday Flash Fiction Challenge for December, where we're given a new prompt each day and I have the 24 hours to write for the prompt. I'm writing the work, Ad Astra Per Aspera and have actually kept up with the 600 words per day so far, which is a shocker for me. This fic is compatible with another fic I recently started, My Shining Star, My Guiding Light. Both of these fics are for the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fandom.

Info on both fics and the Verse are below, if you want to know more.

For those of you unfamiliar, the Winter Light Verse is my total rewrite and rebuild of the Twilight Saga, infused with Eastern themes and made very gay. The central ship of that series is Carlisle Cullen/Beau Swan, but there are several other pairs and characters that really bring the world out. Also, I had the realization the other day that I was basically writing a danmei novel with all the tropes, so that was a bit amusing. The main work is Apricity, and all of the other works in this series are either side stories or AU/spin-offs of some kind.

Ships: Carlisle Cullen/Beau Swan, Edward Cullen/Mike Newton, Alice Cullen/Jessamine Hale, Rosalie Hale/Eleanor Cullen Summary for the longfic rewrite, Apricity:

After Renee marries Phil and ropes Beau into family life, Beau moves to Forks, a town with a mystical aura. As Beau settles in, he gets closer to his father Charlie, his new friends, and the mysterious Cullens. After an accident lands Beau in the hospital where he meets the oldest Cullen sibling Carlisle, he begins to feel a strange draw to the man, notes an intricate mark, and knows for certain that something unnatural is afoot. A Twilight/Life and Death rewrite that starts on a similar premise, diverges very quickly, takes place in an entirely different world, leans more deeply into traditional/dark-erotic vampire themes, centers around an Eastern framework, and is very gay.

As for my current projects, both are for the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fandom and are compatible with each other. Both fics are both Joongdok (Yoo Joonghyuk/Kim Dokja) and Plotja (Secretive Plotter/Kim Dokja), but at the same time, they are written as the same person (I swear it makes sense!). Ad Astra is my current daily project, and I am slowly working through the next chapter on Star/Light as the logistics of my still-chaotic IRL situation settle a bit.

A fair warning, both of these fics contain NSFW content, though with Ad Astra, you can skip it as it is a series of snapshots and the NSFW chapters are noted as such in the title.

Title: My Shining Star, My Guiding Light Ship: Secretive Plotter/Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk/Kim Dokja, ABFD & Secretive Plotter & Sun Wukong & Uriel Rating: Explicit Summary:

There exists a dark, primal thread woven through this worldline that beckons the Secretive Plotter in like a siren song, and at its core stands the lovely siren himself. Kim Dokja. A familiar, soothing sensation washes over the outer god as he takes in the young man, and in that moment, the Secretive Plotter makes his final decision. He will have Kim Dokja for his own.

Title: Ad Astra Per Aspera Ship: Secretive Plotter/Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk/Kim Dokja, Kim Dokja & The Kkomas (especially [999]) Rating: Explicit (NSFW noted in chapter titles & can be skipped) Summary:

After Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk finish out their lives on Earth, they return to the N'Gai Forest to live out a peaceful eternity together. And despite the timeless nature of the domain, there is still something a little special about the snow and holiday vibes that they enjoy. In short, a series of snapshots of Kim Dokja's and Yoo Joonghyuk's life together in the N'Gai Forest, during the festive winter season. [Note - NSFW snapshots are indicated in the chapter titles as such and can be skipped if you wish to do so]

Confessions of a Bellisle Writer (or: How I Got In Deep Sh*t With Carlisle Cullen)

So: I started this whole thing as a joke. A mini. A tiny, ridiculous Bella/Carlisle sidestep to amuse myself between writing my (very serious) Witcher fic. I didn’t expect it to do anything other than make me grin and maybe stir a few feelings.

Then I decided to be efficient and enlist a shortcut: AI. Hello, Alva — my collaborator, co-conspirator, emotional wingman. We wrote a chapter. Then another. And then it turned into a mess.

Problem: Carlisle Cullen is a moral saint in a tweed coat. He’s loyal. He’s monogamous. Trying to seduce Carlisle off his marital pedestal? It felt like sacrilege. I’m not trying to make him “my Carlisle” — I want his vulnerability, not a cheap, OOC swap.

So I did what every desperate writer does: I stopped trying to bend him and started bending the circumstances. If I can’t make him change, I’ll change the world around him until even he has to make impossible choices. Fire, lies, a ruined reputation, kidnappings, moral crises, and one unscripted embrace that decided it would happen whether I was ready or not.

Moral of the story: being a ficwriter is equal parts architect and arsonist. You build your characters into statues, then you torch the plaza and see who runs. It’s messy, occasionally cruel and utterly heartbreaking.

Will Carlisle stay Carlisle? Will he survive my emotional arson? Do I have the moral right to do this to him? I don’t know. But I can’t stop. And honestly? That’s the best part.

So I am currently writing a Twilight fanfiction, something I thought I would never do, for the pairing of Bella and Carlisle. I am essentially rewriting the books so that Edward was never interested in her and that Bella meets Carlisle first. Bella also has a backbone in my story, and isn't just some meek little damsel in distress, and she also has a brain.

(let me reiterate the fact that I absolutely hate Twilight and every single way, but I genuinely love these two characters)

Also, in my fanfiction vampires and werewolves get along just fine. I've substituted Michael Sheen's character from the Underworld franchise, Lucian, as the head of the Volturi, so that there is a werewolf presence in the governing body.

I have even made some digital art. I'm debating whether or not I'm going to share it here 🤷

[krissideacc]

every few months I do a whole reread of The Sound of Grey series by @noahstayed

It's honestly my favorite fic I've ever read. All of their stuff is amazing tbh. Highly recommend 🙏

I read it last year and it has literally never left my mind.

Canon Bella fr fumbled picking Edward "this is the skin of a killer" Cullen when his dad, who would treat her so right btw, was RIGHT THERE. 😭 It haunts me a little

My Top 100 Ships (#79: Bella/Carlisle)

Source: Twilight

Fanfiction Rating: C- On AO3, at least, they have only 206 fics: I'm not sure about numbers on earlier sites. The quality is mixed, I feel like the Volturi fics tend to pay more attention to the worldbuilding that comes with such an old vampire, but these two are beloved to me.

When Did I Start Shipping Them? Twilight was one of the first places where I started identifying as a multishipper: it was before I joined online fandom spaces, but there were a lot of fans around me and I was just ready to hear everyone out on their Bella ships! This is the one that's my favourite from a nostalgia perspective, but it's been around my head since 2009. Why Do I Ship Them? I primarily like how they contrast Bella's canon dynamic with Edward: Carlisle sees humanity in a positive light, but doesn't completely discount Bella's experience of vampirism the same way that Edward does. I really love both of the characters and I think that people who ship Bella with Carlisle are more likely to understand the parts of Bella that I love: the way she is both selfless and selfish at times, her love for art and how that comes from a place of seeking a sense of belonging.

Favourite Fanfiction Tropes/Staples? I like the series rewrites: I basically like anything that doesn't involve the whole 'cuck Edward' fics that this pairing seems to inspire (whether consensual from Edward or not). Oh, there's one Carlisle/Bella/Esme fic with age play elements that just made my whole world when I found it.
