Springtide || Marcus Volturi

Summary:

A word carrying two meanings.

It is the time when sun, moon, and earth fall into a rare alignment and their pull is rising the oceans waters higher than usual. When shores disappear beneath the swelling sea, washing all stains of the past away in one furious motion.

It is also the first breath of spring after winter. A stirring of live starting a shift in an icy stillness and bringing color back into the world.

————-

Marcus Volturi is supposed to live and die in tragic fate. Sadness and longing for his one true love Didyme are supposed to end his story.

Well… until Thalia - Gen Z, law student, girliepop, and most importantly: his world greatest fan - dies and gets reincarnated into the world of „twilight“.

Sure starting live somewhere in the 80s is everything but easy. Not talking about hitting puberty (again) and finding out investing in Apple is hard (as a minor) or blackmailing Laurent into giving her the fucking vampire bite.

But Tilly makes it her new live goal to save Marcus, restore his joy and get revenge on everyone that wronged him.

Nobody could foretell that she would end up accidentally marrying him in the process.

Notes:

Hello :)

All my regular readers already know me and my plans to publish this work.

For all my new readers:
Greetings. I’m Kat and well… the idea for „Springtide“ flew around my mind for a while now. I’m finally getting it out of it.
It’s based on the huge amount of manwhas, isekais and webtoons im consuming lately and you will definitely find a vie of those classical elements in here too. (For all wondering „Isekai“ is a Japanese genre in which the main character gets reincarnated onto another world)

This work has nothing to do with my other twilight fic and is NOT one of the spin offs I talked about but a stand alone. (Nevertheless I’d be more than happy if you managed to take a look at my other work(s) too^^)

A little warning beforehand:
This work is about Marcus and therefore we will see a lot of depression and some attended suicide and so on.
Please don’t read it if it triggers something inside of you!

We will also (hopefully) have a lot of comedic and fun moments.
Of course I would never try to downplay the topic of mental health with that, so I’ll try to balance both of it.
Of course maybe it won’t always work. That’s why I ask you to please tell me if you find something unsettling or to blunt in my writing.

And last but not least: English is not my native language and this is my first fic I’m not using a translator on, but trying my English out in writing. So please tell me if you happen to find any mistakes. I’d be happy to correct them.

Constructive critique is more than welcomed here.

Now, enough talked. I hope you have fun either way the story.

See you :)

Chapter 1: ACT I: MANIA

Chapter Text

ACT I: MANIA

 

In greek philosophy and mythology mania is used to describe an obsessive, destroying kind of love. Its an intense, passionate form of attachment, that often overrides logical thinking and self control. 

 

Mania is the kind of love, that burns too brightly to be gentle. 

And yet often it is not real love, but the product of affection losing its balance. Like a storm that grew and destroyed everything on its way in beautiful madness, because passion forgot its boundaries. 

Its the love for what humans picture something to be. Its a love for every thought and image they pour into something else, a love for everything they want in another person no matter if this person really has those qualities. A desire for connection forged out of the deep fear of abandonment. Its something restless, when the haunting image occupies every thought, every silence and even the darkest shadows of the mind. 

Like a trembling canyon between devotion and obsession, created by the fear of the hoping, imagined flame of joy being extinguished and therefore clinging to it, reaching for it and refusing to let go, even if it burns ones hands. 

 

Mania is a love for the things humans imagine, for what they dream to be, achieve, want or need.
