In the fanfiction where Victoria is Bella's mother, how does this change the relationship between Bella and the Cullens?

Well, at first, the Cullens might be more suspicious of Bella since she's related to James. But as they get to know her better, they might see that she's different from her brother.

Her relationship with Jacob would likely change. Since she hates the Cullens, she might turn more towards Jacob for support. They could become closer as she sees Jacob as an alternative to the Cullen world. With her human friends, she might try to distance herself from any connection to the Cullens. So, she could be more secretive or withdrawn from them as well to avoid any talk about the Cullens.

In this fanfiction, the relationship between Bella and Edward is turned on its head. Bella's role is now to shape Edward's character from a young age. Their interactions will be less about the intense passion of the original story and more about the tender, sometimes difficult, bond between a mother and son. She might worry about his future, his choices, and his safety in a way that is very different from the love - based concerns in the original narrative.

Well, it would likely bring a whole new level of complexity. Bella being the mother means she has a different kind of authority. She might be more protective than before. For example, she could be stricter with the younger Cullens in terms of their interactions with humans. Also, her relationship with Edward would shift from being his lover to also being his mother - figure in a way, which could be quite strange and might lead to some internal family tensions as they all adjust to this new dynamic.

Well, it becomes more platonic. There's no romantic tension between them like in the original. Instead, there could be a sense of loyalty and family - based love.

The imprinting can also have an impact on the overall theme of choice in the Twilight narrative. In the original, Bella has to choose between Edward and Jacob. But with this new imprinting, the choice becomes more complicated. Does she follow her imprinting instincts towards Victoria? Or does she try to fight it and stay true to her previous relationships? This can lead to a more in - depth exploration of themes like love, fate, and free will in fanfiction.

In the mafia setting, their relationship becomes more dangerous. They have to deal with threats not only to their love but also to their lives. For example, if Edward is a mafia boss, he has enemies who might target Bella to get to him.

She might start by giving them the silent treatment. Just ignoring them completely when they try to talk to her, which would be a very human way of showing anger.

They could be original characters created specifically for this fanfiction. Maybe they are two friends in a fictional world with a complex relationship.

Well, it makes their relationship more paternal. Edward becomes more of a guiding force rather than just a love interest. He might scold Bella when she does something dangerous, like in the original when she gets into trouble with vampires, but in a more fatherly way.
