What if Carlisle had turned Esme before Edward?

Interesting question. Let's look into the details.

Carlisle Turns Esme

I mean, there is the problem that this would be Esme in her teens in order for Carlisle to meet and turn her before Edward which is... well...

It wouldn't happen, especially as at that point Esme was doing relatively fine by all appearances. Charles didn't happen until a few years later.

So, we'll pretend Esme's a little older and that Carlisle had had the same sort of meeting with her all before Edward's set to die of the Spanish flu.

There's always the question of if he would, and I do always think the man needed that little push of Elizabeth begging him on her death bed to save her son, no she doesn't care how, just do it.

Carlisle had had many ill patients before this point, many he likely could have spirited away to turn without being noticed, and yet he didn't until Elizabeth's plea and then he was turning quite a number of people until Emmett and he probably realized with Rose that maybe not everyone wants to keep living if it means becoming a vampire.

But he could turn Esme for much the same reasons he did in canon. He's still desperately lonely and seeking companionship, he meets thing young woman and then sees her near death around ten years later, just left as a Jane Doe in a morgue to be unmourned and unremembered, and he can't stand it.

The only problem is at this point Carlisle wasn't sure the diet was actually possible for others. Everyone he'd met had said no, people who were otherwise very friendly and perfectly civilized, he hadn't met the Denali yet and when he first turned Edward he recreated his own turning in the hopes that that, somehow, was what made the difference with him.

It turned out the difference was "get them while they're young" and just immediately put them on the animal diet so that eating humans isn't even an option... except that of course Edward left for four years.

But anyways, we'll say Carlisle's out of his mind with loneliness (which he canonically pretty much was) AND ALRIGHT HE'S TURNING HER, and he recreates his own turning which I imagine he later feels really weird about as his turning was very long and painful and he's now tortured this woman on a theory he had that turned out to be wrong.

Woops.

Esme has a similar reaction to canon. This beautiful perfect man she boyband fantasized about in her late teens is back, turns out he's a blood sucking demon and she's one too, but it turns out aside from that he really is perfect.

The weirdness comes in in that there's no Edward so Esme doesn't slip into the position of mother (which in turn helps with the grieving of her own child).

Ultimately, I think this is better for Esme as she has to really work through the death of her son, not immediately fall into a romance with Carlisle and instead find out who she wants to be as a person and what she wants to do.

I imagine they pose as brother and sister (and no one quite believes them, even with the shared vampirism they don't look close enough alike, and think they're having an affair but after what's happened with Esme, Carlisle's not going to pretend to be her husband even in public)

Carlisle Turns Edward

There's the question of if Esme would have good enough control for this or not. I'm leaning towards no, we're given a lot of hints that Esme's control is not so good in canon and that she only ever reached a certain state of control. Since Esme came first this time, not Edward whose control is stupid good, I imagine Carlisle would spend much longer in the wilderness and perhaps might even give up the human charade to an extent in order to help her. He's either always a very rural doctor or else "lives outside of town".

This could mean no Chicago in 1918, very likely wouldn't in fact.

But we'll say it does, as Carlisle would want to work in an urban hub during an epidemic.

Elizabeth may not get as close to him, as Carlisle is now married, but we'll say she does, and she makes her plea. Now, Carlisle might not be as emboldened as he was by Edward. Edward's control was amazing, he had virtually no issues after a very short amount of time, and so Carlisle turned Esme with the belief that the animal diet wasn't only possible but easy to follow with no slips.

However, this time, Esme's first and her control is nowhere near as good, she struggles in human company and really can't go into town (we don't see her in town much in canon, and that's after nearly one-hundred years at this, this is her after only a few), and while she wants to be on the diet she basically can't live a human life the way Carlisle can and if she tries she risks murder.

There's a chance Edward would be the same way that I imagine would make Carlisle very hesitant to turn him even at Elizabeth's pleas.

So... I'm sorry, I'm going to cop out, I don't think Carlisle does it.

New fic posted!

Tale of Years: 1918 is officially up and running! It's just the prologue for now, set in the summer of 1907. Once I begin posting the main chapters, we'll move forward to 1918, a few months before Edward catches the Spanish flu.

For new readers: My Tale of Years series is a big ongoing collection of Twilight/Midnight Sun prequels. The full-length fics (numbered by year) are all in Edward's POV and the one-shots (the Stars Along the Way collection) are in various POVs. This 1918 fic is the beginning of Edward's journey. It'll cover the last few months of his human life, his transformation, and his new life as a newborn vampire.

You can read the new 1918 prologue here:

"This absence was made up for by Edward's close relationship with his mother; he was the center of her life...His mother's greatest fear was that she would lose Edward in the war. Every night she prayed that it would end before her only son turned eighteen and was old enough to enlist...On her deathbed and fearing for her son's life, Elizabeth Masen begged Dr. Cullen to do what was necessary to save her son."

Happy Mother's day to the most underrated Twilight mom, Elizabeth Masen, whose love for her son is the only reason the Twilight saga came to be. Here's a mood board of a ginger Mrs. Masen doting on baby Edward <3

[therealvinelle]

Do you think Elizabeth Masen had a gift? Obviously not vampire-strong gift, but something like Charlie?

Her son had a powerful gift, and gifts are known to have a genetic component. Edward's gift is for gathering information, specifically he picks up thoughts, and Elizabeth knew something was up about Carlisle.

So, maybe.

It could be Edward got his gift from his father and Elizabeth was just very observant, it could also be Elizabeth would have been more powerful than her son had she been turned. Edward unfortunately remembers very little from his human life, so he couldn't answer as to whether his mother had a knack for knowing things.

Dealer's choice on this one.

There’s a scene in Eclipse where Jacob is being dramatic like “he’s a vampire, i’m a werewolf” and Bella just goes “AND I’M A VIRGO” it’s just so on brand for her. This is the girl who met vampire royalty and came back and worried about missing some school quiz. The same girl who heard Rosalie’s deeply personal story and her only takeaway was that some vampire had the hots for Edward years ago. The same girl who was months from faking her death and turning into a different species but was worried about what people in town thought of her getting married at 18. Bella is living in a constant state of danger and her priorities are always wrong. Loved reading it

Or when Carlisle's telling her about his lonely existence and Elizabeth Masen's dying plea for him to save her son, and could anyone really want that for their child, and whether it was right to doom the others to this life and she's just like "oh wow Edward's eyes were green!"

carlisle    is    remarkably    patient        +        kind    with    him,    in    the    early    days.    it’s    so    easy    to    trust    him,    with    his    gentle    disposition,    his    preternatural    calm.    in    measured,    even    tones    he    explains    the    minutiae    of    this    lifestyle    that    they    share.    it    doesn’t    take    long    for    an    unbreakable    bond    to    form        /        for    all    the    monetary    worth    in    the    world,    edward    masen    snr.    failed    to    give    his    child    any    tangible    emotional    connection.    carlisle    is    so    forthcoming    with    it,    so    genuine    in    his    affection,    that    he    stops    becoming    a    friend    and    more    the    father    that    edward    deserved.    by    1920,    he’s    changed    his    surname:    cullen,    here        +        ever    after.

If Elisabeth Masen had asked Carlisle to turn her, not Edward, do you think he would? Would the Cullens happen?

I think the answer is no to both.

While Carlisle was ridiculously lonely in that period I think Elizabeth asking for herself would have prompted a "you have no idea what you're getting into" and "this isn't what you actually want". With Edward he'd been begged by his mother who then died, had a little time to think afterwards. There it'd be in that exact moment and it's a person begging for themselves out of a fear of death. Not the same thing.

And I think without Edward, without taking that plunge, I'm not sure he would with the others. Edward got him started in that it showed him it was possible for new vampires to be on the diet. With Edward he was taking a big risk that Edward wouldn't stick to it at all (versus being initially on it then leaving after he'd already turned Esme). Carlisle started to see vampirism as a genuine second chance for people.

While he was desperately and increasingly lonely I do think he needed a push to start turning everybody and that was Elizabeth pleading for her son.

I've really enjoyed using Esme as my motherhood self-insert all this time (just in fun and also truly processing some things). Now I'm a few pages into writing 1918 and discovering that Elizabeth Masen is gonna give me a whole other outlet for free therapy 👍

Hunger Games AU Character profiles:

(A/N: all images are made from picrew, I'll link the picrew later because it's almost 11:00 and I'm lazy.)

Edward Anthony Masen-Cullen

Age: 17

Gender: Male

District: 7

Skill(s): Intellect, Tree climbing, Axe wielding, Plant identification & general woodland survival skills (making a fire, finding water & shelter.) Piano & voice, poetry. (he was taught by Carlisle)

Weapons: Axe & other knives. (especially throwing knives)

Edward is from a well-to-do family. He's popular and does very well in school. His parents died of flu when he was only 7 so Carlisle and Esme (both victors) took him in and raised them as their own. Esme was a cousin of Edward's mother Elizabeth.

Isabella Marie Swan

Age: 17

Gender: Female

District: 7

Skill(s): Intellect and instincts, Cooking, Plant identification.

Bella is from a poorer family and doesn't have many friends, but she does well in school. Unfortunately, she doesn't have many weapons skills. She is intelligent and logical and she can easily locate water food and shelter but is very physically weak. She doesn't possess the ability to hunt so even if she found food she'd have no way of getting it, and she may also be too weak to build her own shelter. She has low iron and is often dizzy, which is why she's so pale and struggles with balance.

Her parents are divorced. Her father works in a lumber plant and her mother isn't mentally there. She's spontaneous and struggles with forusing to do any sort of job. To provide for the family Bella got a part-time job as Carlisle's secretary. Her father wanted to teach Bella how to use an Axe but he tried once and she hurt her leg very badly. He feels guilty and is too afraid to try again.

Esme Anne Cullen

Age: 46

Gender: Female

District: 7

Skill(s): Survival skills, camouflage, handcrafts (painting, drawing, sculpting & carpentry), cooking

Esme won her games 29 years ago at 17 (Carlisle was 13 at the time). She won by hiding in trees and blending in and living off the vegetation in the arena. She made traps to catch the small rodents for food. (She loves small animals and ever since the games she's made sure to keep them around.) She killed 5 tributes separately by throwing and using a slingshot to slam rocks into their heads from high up in the trees. 

Carlisle Cullen

Age: 43

Gender: Male

District: 7

Skill(s): Medical skills, survival skills, mentoring, singing, poetry

Carlisle won his games 27 years ago at 16 (Esme was 19 by then) by poisoning the last career's food supply. It was an instantaneous death and Carlisle's only kill, but he still feels very guilty.

—

When Carlise was 26 and Esme was 29, Edward Anthony Masen was born.

When Carlise was 33 and Esme was 36 Edward's parents died from flu and Edward came to live with Carlisle and Esme. Edward was 7 at the time.

Now, 10 years later, Edward is 17 and Carlise is 43 and Esme is 46.

names that bella should’ve used for the demon child instead of that ungodly monstrosity smear chose while high: elizabeth (renee is her middle name), masen, isla, charlie (good luck charlie!), milagros “millie”, arabella (the ara is in aro’s honor. they ask him to be her godfather and he is so flattered he doesn’t rise against them. he throws her a volterra-wide 1st bday bash & the guard is forced to paint faces and make animal ballons), juliet, rosaline, catherine (earnshaw aka wuthering heights aka bella’s favorite book), jane (austen), samantha (for sam uley. he is deeply touched and this is the true reason they make peace), claire de lune, mika (to honor mike newton), aurora (or dawn), philippa (for bella’s beloved stepdad), emma (emmett is ecstatic and calls her junior), edwina, odette (edward names her in reference to the swan surname. bella files for divorce.)

the first piece of music edward ever performed for renesmee was not on his piano. it wasn't on the guitar he kept tucked in his closet. it wasn't played on his cd player.

he held his baby, sitting at bella's side as the venom healed her wounds, and he sang to her.

he knew hundreds of lullabies, but one had always stuck out to him. it made his chest ache in the familiar way thinking of elizabeth masen did, and it was easy to guess that he had known it for as long as he could remember. and so he passed this song down from the grandmother she would never know.

#☾ ⟶ ❝ headcanon ❞ #☾ ⟶ ❝ like nothing else in the world / renesmee ❞ #the lullaby is all through the night btw #it's one of my favourites #and the idea was partial inspired by giselle-lx's wonderful stregoni benefici #where she has elizabeth sing it to edward when he's in hospital
