Hi👋🙂

I want to say I love your page, you have so much stuff for the Denalis and the Egyptian Coven(I love them both so much so I love reading your work) anyway, I saw your Aumn kisses HC and I was wondering if you could do headcanons on kissing Eleazar.

Have a nice day.

Awe thank you so much! I do love the Egyptian coven and as no one writes about my boy Amun nicely i enjoy making him seem kinder than what we saw in the movie and books. The Denali are not my favorite coven but I do enjoy making them more than an extension of the Cullens! I hope you enjoy the headcanons ♥️

•Denali Kisses•

Tanya

I think Tanya is for the most part the most likely to emulate a humanistic relationship

Or what she thinks is a normal human relationship

She she will kiss your cheek or do the French kiss where they more so kiss the air next to your cheek when she says hello or goodbye

I think the first time you two kids will be the most passionate. I imagine the two of you are dancing together and she is trying to avoid eye contact because her heart is metaphorically beating out of her chest

She’s used to luring people in but they didn’t look past the surface level, not like you anyway. You’d actually tried to know her and I mean actually know her before you even thought about dating and Tanya is never going to forget that

Kate

Kate’s kisses honestly I feel like you’d never want them to end (and same tbh)

She is big on those kisses where it’s like on the verge of making out

You know where they don’t pull away for a few seconds

Probably bites your lip a little as you finish kissing her

Much more feverish when you’re both alone

Irina

Honestly whatever you like is what she’s doing

Big people pleaser this one

Carmen

Depends on the mood but with Carmen it’s more absent minded

You’re holding hands? She’s lifting your hand up to kiss it

You’re cuddling she’s going to look up and kiss your neck or cheek

It’s very natural for her to be affectionate and she’s very good at it

She tends to put her hands on your chest when she kisses you more deeply, if it starts to get serious she will wrap her arms around your neck

Eleazar

You know something about this man kissing just 😮‍💨

The first time he kissed you he asked if it was okay to do so and let me tell you…he used that permission to the fullest

He placed his hands on each side of your face, gently gripping your hair as he brought your face to his

The kiss itself was soft but grew quickly and made you hungry for more tbh

Now when he kisses you he enjoy to lift your chin so he can take in your face before he leans down to kiss you

His kisses don’t linger as long as Kate’s but he takes his time

I once saw a post saying that Eleazar was the head of The Denali coven. That janky man couldn’t even cook 2 minute noodles let alone even attempt to lead a coven of devine and powerful women.

Truth to be told, the first name of Denali's mother freaks me out every time I read it.

C'mon, she died in the 10th century, either she was Alexandra, or she had hungarian female version of Sandòr. There was no short version 'Sasha' unless it's a name in Sanscrit which means 'hare'. And she's the mathriarch, why do they use the short form??????? No one calls Carlisle 'Karl' or 'Lyle' why the Denali should call their mother another way?????

The same thing with Tanya and Irina. I mean, I know that anglophones consider Tanya as autonomus name sometimes, but in my mind it's just cut form of 'Tatyana'. And if there is Irina, Tanya should be Tatyana and Kate—Katerina. Or Irina should be Ira ['e-ra].

And I miss all suffixes so much...

ANYWAY

Alaska's russian dialect is very funny. There is a word (there are much funny words actually) which means 'a little child" and souns like babychka (бейбичка). An English word with a russian suffix. I CAN'T- THIS MAKES MY SO HAPPY AS A LINGUISTку

Request: Denali-Volturi (Demetri Volturi x Reader)

It all started a year after the confrontation about Renesmee, the first time you had ever met Demetri. You had bumped into Demetri a few times. All of which you were nothing but pleasant towards him. You were angry for your sisters death as well as your mothers death for a while but in the end, they did wrong. Your mother created an immortal child who killed a village of humans and your sister Irina falsely accused Renesmee Cullen of being an immortal child-blind sighted by everything. Irina always was the impulsive one, Kate coming in a close second. Soon the meetings became arranged but rather far apart. It didn’t take long for feelings to blossom. Demetri was the first to say it. You didn’t believe him at first, he was a charmer after all but his persistence brought you around. Demetri had begun to think of you as more exclusive to him in the recent months and that lead you to now, doubting if this was such a good idea.

“This is wrong. I shouldn’t be doing this.” You had been meeting Demetri for around six months. Whilst the Volturi new of the budding relationship, the Denali’s did not and you were trying to keep it that was for as long as you could. “Wrong? No, it isn’t. You want it to be wrong because of your coven.” Demetri shook his head. “My family has went through a lot because of your family.” “It’s bizarre that you all, Cullen’s included, think of one another as family. You are of no such thing.” “You don’t consider anyone in the Volturi your family?” “No, but i hope down the line i could consider you my family.” Had this not been a very difficult and serious discussion, you’d have cracked a joke of how smooth that had been.  “I can be quite observant when it comes to the people i care about. For example, i can see you are tired of fighting against what you want. I I wouldn’t be so openly forward if i was not sure as to how you feel about me.” He stepped closer. “You know, I love you.” “You... you want to be mated to me?” “Yes.”  You gave him an incredulous look. “What do you want from me? What do you want me to say?” “I want you to be honest with yourself and choose me. Please, come with me. Do it for yourself, don’t think about them. If they’re your family they’ll let you come away with me. Please.” Demetri was inches away from you now and to further the point across he pulled you into a deep kiss. This was your first kiss with Demetri and you were thankful you didn’t need to breathe. He pulled away to kiss your cheek then your jaw and finally hugging you tighter to him. “Please.” “Let me talk to them.” You pulled back to look at him. “Let me see if i can bring them around to the idea and i’ll go to you immediately.” “You’ll come to me? You’ll go to Italy?” You nodded. “Just let me talk to them first.” Demetri seemed relieved as he pulled you in for another quick kiss and stepping away. “Go on then, I’ll be waiting back in Italy for you.” 

”You’ve been meeting who!?” Tanya was fuming, Kate’s eyes were wide thinking you had completely lost your mind. ”For how long!?” ”A few months now.” You said quietly, feeling guilty. ”A Volturi!? Demetri Volturi!? Are you deluded!?” Tanya didn’t let up and seemed to only be fueled with every second. “I suppose you didn’t even remotely consider that he killed our mother and Irina!? "He held her in place as Caius took off her head!" Kate yelled continuing the point. "How could you care for him of all people!?" "You said the same thing when Irina brought home Laurent!" You argued back. Yourself and Kate were always the first to argue.  "That's not the same. He killed your sister, our sister!" "She killed herself!" You cried. "She wanted to believe that the girl was immortal, she didn't want to see it any other way!" "We don't make these decisions on thi-" "We don't make decisions, full stop!" You interrupted Tanya. "We stopped making decisions as a unit when mother died! Irina made her own choices without consulting any of us. That isn't anyone's fault but her own! At least every decision I have made, I have consulted you all so the very least you can do it be supportive!" You stormed out of the room. 

Theatrics were never your thing, only when pushed to the very limit. You stayed completely quiet in the garden, a place you went to be alone. You knew with that fight that everything was going to change. You were already one step out the door and now this argument would push you out entirely and have the locks of every window and door changed. There was very little chance of going back from this. In that moment, it was decided. You weren't going to take any of your things. You were going to start again with Demetri.

After an hour or so of hearing Kate and Tanya argue with some input from Carmen and Eleazar and even Garrett who tried to calm Kate, Tanya quietly walked outside to join you. "You know, I'll understand if you don't forgive me. I know Kate won't, and I'm sure if she was watching, mother would be very disappointed in me...and Irina." "It's just going to take some time." Tanya said stiffly. She was the oldest sister, she was raised to be tough for all of her sisters. You nodded, trying to hold back your distress. You lunged, pulling her into a tight hug. You weren't sure you'd ever see her again and almost certain that she wouldn't forgive you. Whilst you weren't surprised, it did hurt a little more when she didn't hug you back. Instead resting her hands on your sides to eventually push you back. You said nothing as you were pushed back. 

You stepped around Tanya and headed down the road that had led to your house. You never thought that your immortal life would change so drastically but with another thought, it was naive to think that throughout eternity, things wouldn’t change. Things weren’t all bad though, you knew where you were going. Goodbye Alaska. Hello Italy.

“Not that I’m complaining, I thought you’d be another few days yet.” Demetri met you at the entrance, welcoming you with a warm embrace. “How did it go?” You shook your head but fought to keep the smile on your face. “Not great.” Demetri’s smile dropped into a look of concern. “I’m so sorry-”  “Don’t be.” You pulled him in for a hug. You didn’t want to think about your sisters. You didn’t even get to say goodbye to Garrett, Carmen and Eleazar.

That night, Marcus requested to speak to you and so you knocked the door of the library before entering with permission from Marcus. He spent most of his time there, he couldn’t cope with being in his room for too long, he used to share it with Didyme. “I intended to welcome you much sooner but i find that today i have a low tolerance for my brothers.” You smiled, at least he had humour beyond the sadness. “I also see that you’ve had some difficulty with your loved ones as of late.” Of course he did, he can see relationships. “Your bond with Demetri has only gotten stronger in the matter of hours but the ones with your sisters have deteriorated greatly.” “Yeah, well, I can’t depend on them anymore.” You cut yourself off there, you could write a book about your fundamentally destroyed relationship with your sisters but that wasn’t for now, or ever. Marcus caught this but didn’t press the issue. “I’m going to tell you what i told my mate many years ago,” Marcus began “You’re divine, an absolute joy. If they don’t support you then they don’t deserve you.”

I’ve seen this happen a lot in the fandom and feel the need to clarify...

The Volturi’s collective “last name” isn’t “Volturi” i.e. “Jane Volturi”, “Aro Volturi”, etc. Their coven is known as “The Volturi”. Also, The Denali coven’s collective “last name” isn’t “Denali”, i.e. “Tanya Denali”, “Kate Denali”, etc. “Denali” refers to the area in Alaska where they live.

I suppose their individual last names are whatever they were when they were initially turned, or they could have adopted the last name of their coven leader like most of the Cullens did. But since it was never explicitly specified in the books, the guide, of by Stephenie, we’ll never know for sure.
