Assignments submitted and whilst I do have two drafts for future assignments to get started on, I have two weeks off. So have a mystery snippet of an upcoming chapter.

“She’s not a threat to you or Charlotte,” Jasper tried again. Peter lets out a bark of laughter. “I’m not worried, Jasper,” he says, and the words are dark. It’s a warning to Jasper how far he will go if he feels like his hand is forced. It’s the same voice that Jasper used that night, when Peter said that Charlotte was running whether Peter did or not. “Don’t.” His mouth feels dry. “She’s family, Pete. She’s not going to hurt anyone.”

Ok, I’m on a bit of a Jasper/Alice binge and have just read your story Darkest Hours (I love the way you describe Jasper’s gift!)…in the story Jasper says something like Alice won’t leave his sight again, between NM and Eclipse do you think Jasper let’s Alice leave his side? Is he the overprotective fool that we see in the Eclipse battle the whole time? PS I will stop harassing your asks soon. I just love your ideas and your fics!

Yey, another question! I love to answer these so you're absolutely not harrassing me. Feel free to continue asking, if you want to :-D Also, thank you for reading Darkest Hours, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

But now let's talk about the aftermath of Alice's New Moon trip to Volterra:

Yes, the events of New Moon in my head totally triggered the 'overprotective fool' in Jasper. He and Alice have a bond that would probably be considered an 'unhealthy form of attachment' in the real world; there is no Alice without Jasper and no Jasper without Alice. This is absolutely and shamelessly part of the reason why I love them so much, however, it also means that being faced with Alice's mortality is just as frightening for Jasper as confronting his own (or even worse).

On top of Jasper's newfound realisation that—after over five decades of relative security—loosing his mate is a very real possibility, we have the Volturi. While the other Cullens were introduced to them as "Carlisle's old vampire royalty friends that keep our world in order", Jasper started his second life with cautionary tales of the dark Volturi horsemen. Stories of how one newborn out of line or one too obvious kill could be enough to bring them back to 'clean up'. Maria ingrained the consequences of exposure into him from the very first moment on. Therefore, from Jasper's point of view, them just letting Edward and Bella go does not make much sense. I am convinced he considered the possibility that Edward, Bella and Alice were followed or that the Volturi would send someone after them later on to clean up their whole coven.

So, taking both of these factors into account, I headcanon that his behavior somewhat reverts back to where it was when they first joined the Cullens. He has a hard time letting Alice out of his sight, doesn't trust anyone else to keep her safe, and doubts her capabilities to protect herself. Yet, unlike back in 1950, 2006-Alice has a life she cannot wait to get back to. This makes keeping tabs on her more difficult. For example: In the book version of Eclipse, Alice goes to school while Jasper has already graduated. So what else can he do than follow her to school and securing the perimiter while she sits in class?

Alice tolerates his behavior even though she finds it entirely unnecessary because she feels bad for what she put him through. However, her annoyance starts to accumulate over the three months between New Moon and the newborn fight in Eclipse. In my opionion, the snippet we get of her calling him an 'overprotective fool' in the aftermath of the battle is just an example of her patience with him slipping. I also headcanon that his wasn't the end of the topic. Some time after the fight, Alice and Jasper probably had an argument about this, which ended with them setting some ground rules on how to move forward (like e.g. Jasper dialing back on his hovering but Alice conceding that she will immedaitely share any vision she gets of the Volturi with him).

So, to sum up, yes Jasper was in 'overprotective fool-mode' even before the battle in Eclipse and he hardly let Alice out of his sights. This eventually annoyed her which led to the snappy comment on the battle field as well as to an argument that we do not see in the books or movies.
