The Inheritance Archive
This collection will eventually contain:
• The Inheritance trilogy
• Companion novellas and bonus scenes
• The Inheritance Codex
• Deleted scenes, alternate perspectives, and other extras as they inevitably escape containment.Warnings:
• All three stories contain smut.
• The Codex contains unnecessarily detailed explanations of things that I didn't realise needed explanations until I was asking myself questions about the holes in Twilight canon-lore.

Summary
If Preservation was learning to survive, Stewardship is learning to live. It's the difficult middle child of the Inheritance Trilogy. It’s darker, dirtier, and considerably more problematic. Destined to make you leave unhinged comments at 3 a.m. because you’re furious with me (trust me–when you get there, you’ll know). Featuring Edward Cullen making terrible decisions, Aro throwing parties, insulated drinking vessels, assassination attempts, the domestication of ancient immortal predators, Caius reluctantly showing affection, and Bella getting venom on her hands.

Summary
Welcome to The Inheritance Codex.
Firstly – this is not the story. It was supposed to be a few notes to keep my worldbuilding straight. It got slightly out of hand.
Inside, you’ll find lore on vampire biology, psychology, mate bonds, law, politics, gifts, architecture, Volterra, geography, history, etiquette, and a lot of academic over-analysis.
Featuring:
• Far too much information about immortal society.
• Blood, wine, libraries, and emotional damage.
• An alarming amount of vampire anthropology.
Best read alongside the Inheritance trilogy if you’ve ever finished a chapter and thought, “Yes, but how does this actually work?” or "How are they all drinking wine?", or "How does modern technology impact the Volturi's feeding habits?"
Congratulations.
This monstrosity exists because I asked myself exactly that and was unsatisfied by canon explanations – or lack thereof.
*Disclaimer: AI was used to assist in organising this information. The information is mine, the lore is mine, but I did ask questions like "where does this bit go?", "is this relevant for X bit?", "does this make sense?"*
If that bothers you, you are most welcome not to read it.
