Today's Pimp A Fic is a Carlisle/Esme story written by @tmusings
How did you come up with the idea
for this story?
I used to find myself wondering what on earth was Carlisle thinking when he decided not to court Esme when they first met, back in 1911. It was a little frustrating to know how the story developed after that, and how their love story almost ended in a tragedy. So, I felt the need to write a "What if Carlisle had asked Esme in marriage back then?" The idea felt interesting because it would be similar to what happened to Edward and Bella, but in a different timeframe, and with the curious thinking of the Victorian/Edwardian society.

What drew you to this
genre?
I'm addicted to read about forbidden romances, that's what pulled me
into the Twilight world in the first place. What can I say? I'm a
hopeless romantic.
What drew you to this
pairing?
It's their love story. We all know that Edward waited a hundred years to
find his soul mate, but Carlisle waited almost three-hundred years for
Esme, and when he found her, he stepped back because he didn't want to
take her human life. Ten years later their paths crossed one more time,
but Esme was lying loveless in a morgue; presumed dead before him.
That inevitably moved me. Esme waking up later to see the love of her
life was by her side, was enough for me to fan girl like a teenager.
Tell us about your
story:
Set in 1911, the story tells about a romantic, feisty;
sixteen-year-old Esme, who is given in marriage to Doctor Cullen. A man
she finds entrancing and whom she has no idea is a vampire. The story
revolves around how she discovers that the love of her life is the
world's most dangerous predator, and how that is going to affect their
relationship, moreover; her future life.
Even though Edward was changed in 1918, I had to include him. As
Carlisle's adoptive son, Edward keeps the newlyweds company, and adds a
touch of good humor to the drama.
What chapter is your favorite and why that chapter?
I think chapter 3; Inconspicuous. There is a strong rush of emotions and
reserved displays of affection in this chapter. A letter, a touch, an
innocent kiss, a cheesy dialogue. I also enjoy playful Edward, teasing
Carlisle.
Which story would you
drop everything for?
I'm a sucker for "Where Angels Roam The Sea." by Mackenzie L. She
made a smart twist by writing about a 16-year-old Carlisle, being saved
by a thirsty Volturi Esme.
Another one is "Our Love is Art." by the same author. This story makes of love making an art; pure art.
