Saw this with MHA and wanted to do it with Twilight😁

Somehow came up with the utterly most insane idea for a WIP to date.

It started off tame at first. The basic premise is a series where there would be a fic each for a character from a fandom whom would be dumped into Yharnam; whether transported there via a dream or just at the wrong place & time & just within arms reach of one of the invisible eldritch spider bastards (an Amygdala) chilling about.

And I thought it would be a rather cool idea to explore while utilising Yharnam as a sort of “pocket dimension/dream-nightmare where time within it is inconsequential for the character/s trapped inside” (so they could be within Yharnam for more than a year while their original world has only experienced night pass to morning by the time they return, or just a couple of months while missing due to the Amygdala displacing them for shits and giggles) and the additional feat that since it is within a dream it wouldn’t matter that the character is from a present time rather than Yharnam’s late-1800s aesthetic since dreams do not ascribe to time and space in this scenario. I would solely focus on my interpretation of Bloodborne’s story as to not disrupt anyone else’s most common one, while also following how I usually beat the game nowadays.

Essentially these characters get put into Yharnam due to just the worst goddamn luck rather than anything cosmically deliberate, and while in Yharnam they are forced to change (for better or worse… shrugs, it’ll certainly be an experience). And after going through the worst form of therapy and additional trauma that outdoes any prior experiences, they return to their original world a changed person and we deal with the consequences of that in their original world’s plot.

Anyway, so the craziest part about all this is the fact I plan to start with Stephanie Myer’s Twilight saga, and dumping an unfortunate Bella Swann into the bloody violence of Yharnam. Like Twilight’s world is honest to god both insane and severely underdeveloped, BUT I think it would be interesting combining the two (in a way). Bella goes through Yharnam, forced to change herself through the experiences, and then fight her way back to her reality/Forks to pretend that she didn’t absolutely ascend to godhood in another world and is no longer technically human in her own + keep the fact she’s changed drastically under wraps and grounded closer to what’s reasonably accepted. A Hunter!Bella (who is also kind of a Great One too) just trying to live and enjoy her “normal human life” with whatever time she has left with her human friends and family (since being an ascended Great One in disguise makes her very painfully aware she’ll outlive pretty much every human in her life) while dealing with the supernatural shenanigans of the Cullens and Wolf Pack.

Of course I have more to say about this but I’ll share more later.

So… how does Bella get to Yharnam? Well I have about three solutions:

First Scenario: “The Night Before…” -> Essentially before the day she would go to Forks and see her dad again, Bella would go to bed… and then wake up at the Blood Minister’s yapping in Yharnam. This Bella hasn’t met the Cullens or the supernatural in Forks yet, bear in mind, so when Bella exits the dream and goes to Forks, she’ll be trying to do her best in hiding the fact that she isn’t an ordinary human, especially once she realises the Cullens are no humans themselves. Another thing is that between the time Bella goes to sleep and when she wakes up in the morning, Alice’s visions in regard to Bella would be blocked within that time frame (either by the Moon Presence or Formless Oedon).

Second Scenario: “Comatose” -> So, here this would be set around the time from when Edward and the Cullens left Bella in Forks for the six months-to-a-year(?). James is dead at this point so no worries about him. Now how’d this would go is that Bella would either be injured by Victoria and Bella would fall “comatose” from the attack (re: Moon Presence takes her consciousness to Yharnam) or Bella just collapses and falls unconscious close to someone/people she knows and is taken to the hospital (Oedon just went “I’m gonna take this teen to Yharnam to kill my rival, the moon goddess”). Charlie obviously would be having a hard time since his daughter is hospitalised in a coma that cannot be explained, and both her friends and Jacob are also pretty worried too. The coma would last between a long period of weeks to a few months, and undetermined if the Cullens would return at this point (if only out of Edward’s concern for Bella).

Final Scenario: “Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Just Within Arms Reach” -> Here it would be set also within the six months/year that the Cullens ditched Bella, and here she’d be having her growing bond with Jacob. While Jacob and Bella were out and about, Victoria makes her strike against Bella, but is interrupted by Jacob’s presence as he combats her. While the shifter and vampire duke it out, Bella tries to make distance, just so happening to step within the sights of a chilling Amygdala (likely responsible for multiple disappearances around the area) who just hangs about undisturbed & invisible to the insightless humans, and once it notices Bella is just within arms reach, it goes to itself ‘oh look, one of those fleshy creatures, now I can alleviate my boredom’ and just picks up an unsuspecting Bella who is now in the air(??) and painfully gets vortexes out of this world, something that Victoria and Jacob notice but are too late to stop (Jacob because he cares for Bella and Victoria since she can’t avenge her loser boyfriend), and causes Victoria to retreat while Jacob is distraught. While Bella is in Yharnam, she is declared MISSING in Forks, for several months, with Charlie rounding up search parties while Jacob gets his fellow wolves to help him search for his bestie/crush. This would last for a few longer months than scenario two. Maybe the Cullens return just to help search for Bella (mostly for Edward’s sanity than anything else).

Now just to let y’all know that I’ll be pairing Bella with Alice cause I’m queer and need sapphic enrichment. And am interested in tackling THAT particular relationship in this turn of events. Don’t worry, Edward and Jacob will be getting the spotlight too in regard to their importance in Bella’s life and how they fit in this new Bella’s dynamic.

Now I also have three AUs in which Bella’s return and subsequent story happens while back in Forks.

AU #1 is the “Solo” AU -> Bella returns from Yharnam by herself and just endures the hijinks of the plot while being a Great One/Hunter in disguise. Applies to all three scenarios, her relationship differing with the Cullens dependent if she hasn’t met them like in Scenario 1 or was previously ditched by them in Scenarios 2 & 3.

AU #2 is the “Jolly Reunions” AU -> Bella returns from Yharnam alone at first, but eventually finds that both friends and foes, whether they were previously alive or deceased, managed to follow her home (maybe due to an accidental inexperience with her own Great One nature releasing the souls from the dream’s contract and uncontrollably conjuring them back alive to her reality). Applies to all three scenarios, consequences include Valtr coming to kick Jasper’s ass, Bella’s little family gradually growing with people she knew and liked in Yharnam, Micolash and Annalise unfortunately worming their way into the royal vampire mafia’s ranks (to start a coup over Aro’s position of power), and the Blood Moon Event leading to Carlie’s (this version of Renesmee) creation.

And finally AU #3 is “Jolly Cooperation in going to the hospital together” -> Which is a slightly happier AU where most of the civilians and Hunters in Yharnam survived alongside Bella and upon being spit into Bella’s reality, rush a wounded Bella to the nearest hospital for much needed medical attention for her and some of their own. Only applicable to Scenario 3, and Charlie suddenly finds that his daughter is like adopted by this group of strangely out of place people with even stranger mannerisms who managed to find and save his missing daughter, which he probably appreciates more than he lets on. As long as Jasper doesn’t mention being a confederate (bigoted, unjolly cooperation) to Valtr, Master of the League (and his respectable confederates of only jolly cooperation), he should be fine.

So I (S) wrote this because K is a horrible human and has been procrastinating like a champ.

Either way, I am not entirely sure if I fully understood what you wanted to happen, so I just kind of pulled a bunch of ideas out of my ass in hopes it would come somewhat close.

Tldr: procrastionation makes for author changes, promt was kind of confusing

~S Word count: 1049

Y/n has never really been able to make decisions on her own. When she was little her parents would rule over her. And when she was older and worked she had her employer that would tell her what to do, be it with words or abuse. When she and her sisters fled she had them tell her what to do.

And that never really changed. Now, so many years later, she still had one of her sisters, Victoria, tell her what to do. And to a degree she was glad. Making decisions on her own scared her a little, or a lot if she was honest.

Life changed since Victoria turned her when she was just a mere 17 years old. They weren’t alone anymore. Victoria found love in James, a vampire that y/n could only describe as somewhat nice on a good day and downright psychopathic on a not so good day. They also found company in Laurent. She liked Laurent more than James, although she wouldn’t admit it out loud to anyone.

They constantly were on the move, sometimes more nomadic, sometimes a little more settled. Right now it was the latter and they resided in a shabby little hut on the outskirts of a little town called Forks. And with settling down they had to come up with stories that would fit their looks and would grant them some time to stay. Victoria and James were a married couple and both were freelance artists looking for inspiration. Y/n was the little sister in her final year of high school that had to tag along because their parents weren’t really that great. And Laurent? He was some kind of uncle that stayed with them.

They didn’t meet other vampires all that often. Most were hiding from everything and everyone. Some were truly hiding. Some were only hiding in plain sight and would share glances telling them to hurry out of their territory. So it was a surprise when she went to school for the first time and immediately came face to face with several other vampires.

She had told Victoria about the encounter later in the day.

“If they try hurting you, show them hell,” Victoria had told her. “You are a force of nature, remember? You are fast, faster than any of them, I promise you. You have teeth that could tear them apart and you are strong.” Sometimes it was jarring how brutal Victoria could be when she was so caring and soft as a human.

Victoria caressed y/ns cheek softly and smiled gently. “I know you are gentle and hate hurting people. But please promise me that you won’t let them hurt you. I can’t lose another sister. I can’t lose you,” she whispered.

So she went to school and kept her distance. Sure, she could feel their stares and could almost feel how judging they were and how much they wanted her gone, but they left her alone. The uneasiness made her almost go whining to Victoria, begging her to move somewhere else, or become nomadic again.

But it wasn’t until they all went out to scour the area for prey that everything would hit a high in terms of tension. They found the vampires that were also in town on a field as they were playing baseball. And they had a human with them. Y/n found it a little funny how their situations were so different but to someone from the outside it would look like they were mirroring each other. The human being hid behind the vampires, y/n being shielded from the other vampires by Victoria, James and Laurent.

James and Victoria tried to lure information out of the others, make them let them play with them to find their weaknesses. But then they smelled the human. Victoria and Laurent hid it better than James. He decided on that spot that he wanted no one but that human. And y/n couldn’t blame him. The human smelled incredible and it also  almost made her leap at her to devour her.

Y/n tried to silently slip away and just as she thought it worked she heard two of the vampires follow her. She ran. She ran like she had never before as fear began to fill her.

“Leave me alone!” She screamed. They just began running faster and y/n picked up more in pace. “I said leave me alone! I have done nothing!” She screamed again.

She then did the worst mistake of her life. She turned her head to see how close they were. The movement slowed her down enough for the tiny vampire to slam into her and knock her to the ground. Her, what y/n presumed to be, mate quickly caught up to them as well and watched the both of them.

“Get off of me! I will rip you to shreds! I will kill you!” Y/n screeched and flailed around. 

“You wouldn’t do that,” said the small one with a big smile on her face.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry about my sister and our companions. I don’t know why they did that, please let me go,” Y/n begged, “I can’t die yet. I have to be there for my sister, please, she needs me.”

“We could never kill you.” The older one grabbed the smaller ones shoulder to make her ease off a little.

“I am Alice and this is Jasper,” the smaller one said, “we could never hurt you, y/n. And you could never hurt us.”

“How do you know my name?” Y/n was certain that this is what dying felt like, this uncertainty and confusion.

For starters, Twilight (2008) starts around two months later than when the book begins. (Which is January) And is presumably set in the same year as it's release.

According to the official wiki, James is killed in Spring 2008 (in movie).

Okay, I'm with it so far. First movie takes place in 2008. And the rest follow the timeline of the books, but in 2008/9 instead of 2005/6. Right?... Right?
