[supremeuppityone]

Just posted a new story, Window to the Soul, in my Klaroline series, Perhaps One Day. (You can read part 2 here and part 3 here.) 

Separated by the rigid caste system of their village, Klaus and Caroline were not meant to be. But with one betrothal gift and a stolen moment in the woods, they sealed their fate.

Please read and review here.

20 Questions For Fic Writers

thank you @garglyswoof and @stars-and-darkness for tagging me!

How many works do you have on ao3?

12, though 2 of those are moodboards so don't really count.

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

553,036. Huh. Lower than I expected. No doubt that will shoot up when the tbbw rewrite is done [fake laughter, hiding real pain]

3. What fandoms do you write for?

TVD, TO a.k.a Klaroline

4. Top five fics by kudos:

The Big Bad Wolf, Into Eternity, The Little Wolf, The Red Wedding and Falling For You.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes! I try to respond to every one as I love talking with readers. I figure if someone spends time to write a comment, I'll return the favour and reply. In fact when I'm updating fics regularly, if my reply to your comment turns up in your inbox it's often a pre-warning that a new chapter is about to drop, as I read over comments I've missed before updating.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Does Damon murder count? [I don't really do angsty endings, I need my happily ever after]

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Into Eternity. It's really sappy and makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. What can I say - I'm a romantic at heart.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yes, kinda. Is it hate if it's just wild interpretations of the characters or plot? Some people leave comments that just make you blink repeatedly and think...are they reading the same fic I'm writing? I remember one time someone left a comment calling Caroline a pushover (honestly had some kind of vendetta against her showing ANY kind of emotion like okaaaaay mate) even though in that very same chapter...she literally kicked Klaus is the balls. Man, that was a weird day.

9. Do you write smut?

No. Not yet. In the future? There may or may not be scenes planned. 😏 I'm picky with smut, I need feelings and the eMoTiOnS, I need to be INVESTED. Porn with plot, rather than just smut for smut's sake.

10. Craziest crossover:

Haven't written a crossover - unless intending to drop Dracula into tbbw at some point coints. There's some great ones in the fandom though, just not really my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of [narrows eyes]

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No! But I'd be flattered if one ever was, as long as its translated on ao3 and given credit to me.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, I haven't. I might be open to it though, if it was a round-robin kind of thing where the writers take in turns to write the scenes.

14. All time favorite ship?

KLAROLINE!!! NOW LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I really want to finish Divided We Fall, Falling For You and Songs of the Sea. I wouldn't say I doubt I'll ever finish them, just that I doubt I'll finish them while I'm still writing the tbbw series. Too much of the klaroline brain rot is invested in that fic alone.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told it's shifting between moods? So I can give readers whiplash in the emotions department - one minute you're crying, the next you're laughing. I like to think my strength is dialogue though. Even the way I write is focused around it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Historical accuracy. I'll fall down a rabbit hole researching stuff like any writer, but the researching is more out of obligation and crippling writer guilt rather than actual enjoyment. Which is why I often take creative licence and go fuck it, history has its own au now bitches (sorry ella).

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

If its little words here and there - even a sentence or two - yes. Full conversations though unless you're fluent yourself are not fun to sift through.

19. First fandom you wrote in?

Star Wars? I want to say Star Wars. Idk those fanfics are over on my ffnet account which I will not be going back to anytime soon. I dare not go where the light doesn't touch, Mufasa speaks wisely.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

It used to be The Red Wedding but I actually love The Little Wolf more now. That one's a true labour of love, fueled on rage and spite, curtesy of Julie Plec.

I will tag @galvanizedfriend @kirythestitchwitch @marxandangels @bellemorte180 @impossiblekryptonitecolor @the-road-betwixt @purplesigebert @that-sarcastic-optimist

[qvnthesia]

For your ask game - 🥺🎢🛠❌🦅

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

From my previous response, hugs between Klaulena and just all the conversations between Elejah. But, to add on, I truly love all the friendships I write. The dynamics between Caroline & Elena & Bonnie and Elena & Hope are my favourite, along with Cami & Hayley & Elena. There's also Klaroline, which is an epic couple; romantic, heartbreaking and legendary.

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Definitely See You In My Nightmares. I can proudly say I've evolved so much writing that fic and... yeah, it's been a wild ride.

🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?

I LOVE THIS QUESTION

Notion. Amazing for planning and worldbuilding. I'm currently using it for my (upcoming) Wizarding World x TVDU fic, To Us, For Trying & for my (upcoming) Star Wars fic, Of Red and Rugged.

Trello. It's wonderful for planning out specific timeline-based points in a chapter. You have these cards you can drag around all the time and it's incredibly eye-opening.

Google Docs (and Sheets and Slides). Syncs EVERYWHERE. Plus, Docs isn't much of a nuisance as much as Word is. It accepts editing across all devices and doesn't make it as much of a pain in the ass as Word does. Same for Sheets. And, not to mention, Google Slides has got marvellously professional templates, which I am currently using for a Petrova and Mikaelson-centric dark historical AU fic (in the drafting stage), The Tradition.

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

Toxic tropes like romanticising bullying and Stockholm Syndrome (gives me the creeps). Basically anything that reeks of toxicity.

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Plotter till the day whoever's watching on me is done w/ me living on this goddamn planet 😂

thank you for your asks <33

Prompt Cards

To help those needing that extra spark of inspiration, various prompt cards have been created to aid you during Klaroline AU Season. The prompt cards are colour coded for each week, devised to inspire for each au trope. The code is as follows:

Canon Divergence - Blue

All Human - Yellow

Creatures - Green

Historical - Pink

Crime - Red

Crossover/Fusion - Purple

Dark - Black

You will see these cards pop up on the blog leading up to AU Season, but you can also request a random prompt by directly messaging @klarolineauseason​. Prompt requests open April 29th and will end June 4th. After that, a full master list of all the prompts will be shared on June 5th as we deep dive into the event, ready to be used in quick drabbles if the mood strikes.

The prompts are also split into three categories: dialogue, locations and ideas. Dialogue and location cards are general prompts, while the idea cards are specialised to each au week. E.g, for creatures week the prompt would be a creature, like ‘mermaid’ or ‘demon’. The idea is you work with a prompt best suited to help you. Does one line of dialogue spark a whole conversation, an entire scene? Does an idea vibe with your creative side? Perhaps a location is a perfect setting for an idea you already have, the last piece of a puzzle. Or, if you’re up for the challenge, use the prompts to create a drabble collection for au season - we’d love to see one!

When requesting a prompt, just ask for a category and au week (you can ask for more if the first doesn’t vibe) and off you go. Get creating!

Historical or present human au of Klaroline and Caroline slaps Klaus when they meet for the first time bc Klaus did something stupid and Klaus decides that he’s gonna marry her

Traps

Smack!

Her hand froze in mid-air, just past his now-burning face. In slow motion, or so it seemed, she brought both hands to her mouth. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"

Rubbing his sore cheek, Klaus worked his jaw. "It was my mistake, I forgot we changed the blocking a step to the left," he assured her. The director had already called cut, and the set was bustling with activity. He could see the makeup team rushing toward them, but he felt bad for ruining the take. 

When he'd learned some up-and-coming starlet was cast against him, he wanted to argue against her; amid his divorce from Aurora, he hardly needed the media speculating about another co-star romance with a cute, young thing. Hollywood was rife with pressure to trap him into any relationship that sold the movie, and he refused to give in.

Though he would be the first to admit that Caroline Forbes was stunning - and not just because she'd really cleaned his clock. "It was a nice hit," he teased, accepting the icepack one of the assistants brought him. "Got an ex I should be thanking?"

"A sheriff for a mother," she laughed, still sounding horrified at herself. "She's also a huge fan of yours and will probably ground me for almost ruining that pretty face."

Smirking, Klaus couldn't help showing off his dimples. "This old thing? I hope it would take more than one to slap the pretty off me."

Caroline rolled her eyes, letting the wardrobe technician fiddle with her costume. "And there's the famous Mikaelson ego I was warned about. Don't worry, you'll still turn heads. Maybe stick to your mark this time," she said with a pointed arch of her brow. "Wouldn't want to see what two hits does to you."

The set was called to order as final powder puffs darted across their faces. Klaus couldn't look away from her, even as he moved with an exaggerated slide to the spot he should have been all along. She only shrugged, apparently determined not to give him the satisfaction of a smile.

Lord help him, she was fun. Perhaps it wouldn't be the worst thing to enjoy whatever rumors inevitably link them together in the tabloids; with luck, Caroline might want to enjoy them as well.

That was the thing about traps; some were too irresistible not to fall into.

What type of AU fanfic is your favorite when it comes to Klaroline?

I adore AH Historical-  any time period. Give me the Pride and Prejudice vibes!!! Or a Henry VIII / Anne Boleyn fusion. Or vikings. Or 1950s......the list is endless. For some reason, set Klaroline in a historical setting and I will eat that up. 

I also have a soft spot for Original Caroline. Just something. about Klaus and Caroline being together for a thousand years does something for me. I just cannot get enough and I’m pretty sure that I’ve read every single one of them. 

#klaroline #ask me anything

[certifiedceraunophile]

7, 15, 17 and 20 :)

SO THIS IS MY FIRST EVER ASK ANSWER,

7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?

Honestly it wasn’t a fic or anything, it was actually, this blinding beam of sunshine’s-  ( @carolineforbae ) comment on my fic ‘It’s a Touch Regrettable’

 This queen left a whole rant underneath the fic, unadulterated emotions flowing and spilling,Just the memory of it makes me wanna curl up on a warm bed of grass and weave flower garlands, that comment’s screenshot is actually my phone’s lockscreen picture. I’m not kidding.

 I’m in a healthy happy married relationship with that comment and we were actually wondering about kids just yesterday, so yeah. 

15. Post the last line you wrote without context.

‘But then she catches sight of Klaus’ face and she knows whats displayed across her eyes, it’s awe, it’s wonder, it’s reverence and most of all it’s such incriminating disbelief, and he knows just as much as she, those emotions only come from an undeserving woman. A woman with her head screwed on right enough to pass sound judgement on herself and decisively assign herself unworthy, but that doesn't stop her from greedily taking what she’s been given so freely, that she will take with thanks but would never pay it back, because how could she?

She is unfit for having it in the first place.’

17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.

I’ll do you one better, here’s the aesthetic for a fic that has like “I came, I saw, I conquered” my mind, (pun intended, you’ll understand in a moment).

It’s been burning out my braincells like it’s on fire. I mean the amount of story plot lines and random dialogues that are literally bursting out of my mind like confetti strings honestly it was just all over the place I needed to calm down and compartmentalise so I did this to give the ideas in my head an image, and I got a bit carried away, clearly.

It’s an Ancient Rome-meets-Roman Gladiator-meets-Enemies to Lovers-meets-Mikael you son of a bitch I require your head on this platter, so please do the needful-meets-Caroline giving sponge baths to a dirty bruised yet victorious gladiator!klaus-meets-SMUT.

20. Do you have a favourite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!

The list of authors is too long, too too long, but I can bring it down to one person for you,

FIRST AND FOREMOST, 

Like, 

Lend me your ears my fellow plebes, as we stand in the presence of divine erudition, seasoned and soft yet coarse as velvet rubbed the wrong way, A blazing gloriole burst upon her lovely visage, cut her open and you shall find sands from a thousand realms spill forth, every flutter of her eyelash a turn of a page, Kingdoms have not crumbled at the touch of her hands, but the spine of a hundred tomes of sentiment narrated with unfettered reach have, bent with atlas humility as if to say, ‘have me, all of me’ and she devours. 

Honestly I have no idea how to end this, but the ‘her’ I’m talking about is the one and only,

@cbk1000

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE HONOUR AND PRIVILEGE I FEEL TO EVEN SAY HER NAME,

LIKE BRO, hold me for a second,

This writer is by far the one writer who has captured Caroline, Klaus, Rebekah and Kol, in the most REALEST way.

Like she knows these characters and presents them to us in their most tragically raw state of being, no dilutions, no misplaced underlining, no flower crowns on their head, they are given to you shrivelled, hurt, broken and aged and you bow your head in reverence.

In their most downtrodden days we will cherish them, in their ugliest cruelest days of such evil no love diminishes, in their most deific of moments your knees will buckle and you will submit.

She does not sugarcoat and downplay the most disgusting aspects of their character, presents it to us as they are and tells us,“Hold them, they burn your hands, but hold them still.” and we will do it, like GOD I’M NOT ARTICULATING THIS WELL, hold on, lemme collect my thoughts 

I MEAN SHE HAS KLAUS KILL A BABY, COOK yes, COOK SAID BABY AND THEN FEED THE ROASTED BABY TO ITS FATHER, ALL UNBEKNOWNST TO SAID FATHER AND I THINK ‘FINALLY, KLAUS AS KLAUS AND NOT KLAUS BUT CENSORED BLUR PLACED ON TOP OF EVERYTHING BUT HIS DICK.’

like does that make sense? I really hope that makes sense.

And OK her writing, like her WRITING itself, like remove Klaroline, remove the originals, remove vampires, werewolves, witches, etc etc, and give her a shoelace to right about and she will BLOW YOUR FCKING MIND AWAY. you will worship that piece of literary wonder, it’s poetry, it’s sacred scriptures, it’s imagery, its a fucking PAINTING.

that’s what it is,

IT’S A PAINTING and it’s A MOVING PICTURE.

She doesn’t create a world for you, no she’s nothing so boorish, she merely rules this universe of hers and she’s magnanimous enough to allow you entry, a visit, stay a few days, EXPERIENCE, LIVE, and then you leave a changed human, and this universe she rules will always have a special place in your heart and soul.

THE DEDICATION this writer shows to research, to historic accuracy, to  literally EVERYTHING that is not necessarily the plot itself, GOD, that deserves a separate spiel for itself, the way she makes everything so AUTHENTIC, her describing the fall of the Romonav dynasty as just another byproduct of Klaus’ recreational machinations, JESUS, LIKE THAT transcends storytelling and now is sitting in a place called shared reverie.

I MEAN GO AND READ,

Wherewith to Sate Its Malice

For the Pikes Must be Together

Five Times the Sinner

AND MOST OF ALL,

AU Original series

and come back and read this author review, you’ll agree to everything I’ve said. I promise.

Klaroline Fic Rec Event 2020 - Day 2: Human!AU

Title: Wherewith to Sate Its Malice

Author: @cbk1000 / cbk1000

Summary: It is the Autumn of Terror. Consulting detective Caroline Forbes must join forces with the world's most dangerous criminal to solve her most challenging case yet. Caroline as Sherlock; Klaus as Moriarty. The Sherlock AU tumblr peer pressured me into writing.

Warnings: Drug use mentions, historically accurate and vivid descriptions of Jack the Ripper's victims, an abundance of hidden guns, mentions of homophobia, Kol the innuendo machine, Klaus murders people out of pique, smut, organs in jars, i think maybe the boys torture someone off screen

Status: Complete

Why you should read it: OKAY JUST WAIT. I know i literally just picked one of Jenn's stories for yesterday and I have been sweating over this decision all goddamn day but I Have Reasons.

I'll lay it on the line okay: I am monsterfucker trash and im not in a vampire fandom for some barista stories. If you are, kudos to u for liking a thing, u enjoy that thing and i will support you!!! But Human!AU is like 95% miss for me. The general lack of murder gives me hives.

HOWEVER. One day Jenn was like "I love Holmes and that Jack the Ripper shit was great in my last fic, I wonder if i should combine them," or something idk it was a hot minute ago, and then like, all of us peer pressured her into writing it. I personally begged shamelessly for it, and for more Tim/Kol. She gave me both. So like, I am very personally attached to this fic to start, but then she wrote it and it was even better.

Caroline as Holmes is incredible. She is smart ofc, and snarky, and still manages to sound like herself despite it being 1888. I absolutely believe this boss ass bitch with a smooshy heart is the world's best detective. Kol as Watson is delightful. He has gleefully taken over the opium use portion of the pair, along with lounging around on furniture and hitting on pretty boys. Enzo and Tim O'Sullivan round out the Baker's Street Irregulars with research, disguises (more cross dressing), and cheerfully trying to murder anyone that breathes on Caroline. More on that later.

Klaus as Moriarty is a balm to my soul. He is criminal mastermind nutjob, a psychopath, ruthless as hell, and generally as terrible at family dinners as ever. Literally no one is more impressed with themselves than Klaus and he genuinely believes you should be too, or else. During their disastrous first meeting, Caroline puts his balls in a vice and he's like "Is this flirting?" and then proceeds to send her coded love messages while trying to murder her. Kol being Klaus' brother and her best friend only adds to the spice of their clashes and he is always, always on her side, often with knives.

Okay so, about that breathing on Caroline thing. When Klaus falls in love, as he inevitably does, it is intense, and weird, and prone to stalking. Manipulating himself into Caroline's life and investigations is just the start, and boy howdy does he end up with guns in his face for that. Enzo is absolutely not amused at this schmuck rat bastard sniffing around Caroline's skirts. But there may also be only one bed on a stakeout.

As always, please give the Tim/Kol subplot a try since my Intense Gay Yearning whined so pathetically for it. They are happy queer murder lads just out for a gay ol' time and absolutely will kneecap a motherfucker for kicks! Rebekah's several dead (possibly poisoned) husbands are absolutely not having a good time, but Katherine, the madame she's enjoying her nights with, certainly is. Elijah would just like his family to chill tf out for like two seconds and maybe sit for tea.

There's also like, the whole entire fucking Jack the Ripper murder mystery plot supported with accurate newspaper clippings and police reports bc Jenn just balls that hard for authenticity. It's great, and creepy, and as always there are pickled organs and graphic descriptions of entrails!

Anyways this entire cast could (and would) murder me and I'd be grateful for the experience. You have not enjoyed a Holmes!AU until you've read this one and Caroline has dragged you around London along with her homicidal posse of lovestruck idiots. Please read this fic.

Thanks again @klaroline-events ! I said i would be late, I know I'm bad at this!

Runner's Up! Somebody That I Used To Know by @thetourguidebarbie : Klaus the mafia kingpin is accused of a murder he actually didn't commit and he crawls right to his ex gf Caroline's door for help in clearing his name. Caroline miiight just let the dog eat him. Tragically unfinished but delightful!

Dirty Little Secret by @she-walked-away : okay but in my defense the smut is just that damn good. Secret high school closet fucking between head cheerleader Caroline and art nerd Klaus? Longing looks across the cafeteria? Emotional rule breaking and Bad Decisions? Yes please!

Literally anything AH mafia related by @cupcakemolotov : She knows what she did and it was a direct hit against me and me specifically.

#klaroline-events #kcficrecevent #cbk1000 #thetourguidebarbie #she-walks-away #cupcakemolotov #okay i PROMISE to find other people's fic to rec from now on today just had a limited pool for my amusement #like if you could make Klaus a serial killer barista i could get behind that! #i just need Klaus to be a fucking psychopath with a soft spot for Caroline okay #Hellbound is also really good but it's really popular so im not that worried about reccing it #okay im done im done #i wrote 9 paragraphs this time and this is a much shorter fic christ

Love in New Orleans/3

Fanfiction

Part 3

an AU TVD/TO story

Elijah Mikaelson x Elena Gilbert

Klaroline

Kennett

a/n: thank you so much for reading.

As the title said - it’s about love that three friends Elena, Caroline and Bonnie, who are native to New Orleans find, each falling for a Mikaelson.

credit to gif makers, for all those that are not mind and I have found them ages ago

❤❤❤

A week after

Caroline woke up and sat up a little. She watched her fiance dreamily. And at times being with him appeared to be a dream. She flashed back at the night she had met him on a fundraising Ball

Flashback

He was sweet, charming and funny, sweeping her off of her feet there and then.

And now, a year after, she is marrying this Royal Marine Commando.

"I love you"- Caroline whispered.

Klaus now opened his eyes 

"Am I dreaming? Are you an angel?"- he said to her.

"No. Just a girl."- Caroline said to her fiance and now neared him into a kiss. 

❤❤❤

Elsewhere

Elena took a deep breath before entering the Mayor's office. Working beside him every day made it harder for her heart, as her feelings for him didn't want to go away.

"Good morning, Mr Mayor"- Elena said as she got in.

"Good morning, Ms Gilbert.  I need to have some of my appointments rescheduled as my sister is preparing a party for another sister of mine and if I don't go it, she will disown me."

"When is it? How come it is not on your personal roster."- Elena said.

"Because I usually send them a private message, but this year they are really angry with me, because work takes all my time."- Elijah said-"and it is today. At 7:00 p.m. at Rousseau's, their favourite bar."

"All right. I will have it done. I have e-mailed all other things ready for you."

"I have seen it."- Elijah said-"thank you. Ok. Let's sit down and see how we can work this thing out about the French Quarter lights and parade. Oh,  and- they brought a new coffee maker. I tried  it and I can tell you that it makes a great cappuccino. Thanks for the suggestion."

"You're welcome."- Elena now went to the small kitchenette area and put the coffee maker on. He had obviously done this for her. She smiled, feeling her heart grow. As she made herself a cup now she returned to the office and continued with the briefing, saying-

  "At 2 pm, you will join the leadership at the New Orleans East Hospital (NOEH), State and City Officials, and community stakeholders to hold a grand opening and naming dedication ceremony for the Kenner & Marshall  and Genevieve & Joseph St. Claire Diabetes Center." 

"Can we talk all the Christmas events I have to be at."- Elijah said.

"You have The Kenner Christmas Village, light up at the Rivertown historic district.  It's on November 25 at 5:30pm"- Elena said-"then Lake Ponchartrain Basin Foundation Lights at the Lake on December 9, at 6 pm. Tonight is the French Quarter Lights at 6 pm."

"So, we will make it to the party. Worked perfectly. All right. After the party, I will need to ask you to stay for at least another hour, so we can go through the parking instructions and traffic restrictions for the Big Easy Running Festival."

"Of course."- Elena said-"would that be all?"

"Yes, thank you, Ms Gilbert."

"Thank you, Mr Mayor"- Elena said taking her cup with her and exited to the office out to her desk. She lost herself in the work to make her mind not think about him, and the way he was so nice to her. But her mind was not letting her at ease.

Flashback

A couple of days previously, in Caroline's house

Caroline and Bonnie now looked at her friend's serious expression slightly surprised. 

"I know, I joked about it"- Caroline said-"but this is serious?"

"It is so serious."- Elena said, continuing-"I wish he was not so nice, so considerate, so good looking! How could this happen? I have quit my job."

"You can't quit your job."- Bonnie said-"you worked hard to get where you are now."

"I know, but- you don't know what it is like. In between sorting his schedules, speeches and other stuff, I think of kissing him, and him kissing me. And it is so unprofessional. And I thought this is a figment of my imagination. But it really is not. I wish he does something bad, so I could say- there he is just like the rest of them."

For the first time her friends had no advice. The only thing they could do is commiserate. 

❤ For Elijah it was not easy either, and the same night Elena poured her heart's trouble to her friends, Elijah did the same with his brother Kol

Flashback Kol's house

As Elijah entered the house, Kol said straight out- "This must be serious, if you could not share it on the phone"

"It is serious."- Elijah said-"Do you have Bourbon?"

"Of course, I do."- Kol said and went to the cabinet to get the bottle.

Sven now, having heard Elijah came down from his room to greet his uncle.

"Hello little man"- Elijah said as he now picked the boy in his arms-"you're so grown."

"He is."- Kol said and as Sven shared some news about himself, especially the book signing, Kol whisked him off to bed.

"Is there something particular he wants for Christmas?"- Elijah now asked.

"The whole Fairy Kat world."- Kol said.

"Excuse me?"

"You haven't got a clue about the world of a 4 year old. And why should you. You have your political career, but do you seriously think of - maybe having a family one day? "

"Not really. Since Laney died, nothing seemed right."- Elijah said.

"I know."- Kol said thinking of his late wife Davina-"It's like we can't get a break in the love department. And you really had your share of wrong women since Laney- Sabine, Gia, Hayley."

"Can we not go there."- Elijah said taking a sip of the Bourbon and then added-"But now- I think I may have found the right one."

"Oh! Really? So, what is the problem?"

"She is my new PA. Elena Gilbert."

"Whoa!"- Kol exclaimed-"Seriously?"

"Seriously!"- Elijah said-"she is smart, beautiful, kind- and- "

"And she is your PA."- Kol said-"which makes it unethical, but not forbidden."

"Unethical, unprofessional. But I just- I tried to stop feeling the way I feel when I am with her. And nothing is working. How could this happen to me?"

"Mayors are human, too, brother. You are no exception."- Kol said.

"Can you keep it to yourself"- Elijah now said-"I can't risk anyone finding out, especially Rebekah."

"Hey, mum's the word"- Kol said-"I am glad you finally fell in love again."

"What??"

"You are in deep. When you went out with the other ones you just casually mentioned you were dating again. For this, you came all the way to my house."

"It's like someone spelled me"- Elijah said.

And a couple of hours later in the car, on the way to the Hospital- Elijah was looking  out of  the  window thinking of the speech he was about to read to distract him from being so close to Elena. And Elena was glad she was  on the phone to some official. And so, both distracted, they at one moment Elijah put his hand down on to the seat and he could swear

there was an electric surge burst through, as a second later Elena moved her hand as if she was stung. The car stopped at the red lights and she now looked at Elijah, who now  asked about the meeting that had to be moved.

"They said that it all can be discussed on Friday night Christmas Charity Ball."

"Thank you."- Elijah said and then asked-"I think of asking my sister to be my +1. It is somewhat a short notice, but I think it would not be a problem to send her name for the list."

"It's not a  problem. They said that you can send them an hour before the party."- Elena said-"which sister will you be asking?"

"Freya."- Elijah replied. 

"But, wait till I see if she agrees first."

Elena nodded and as they arrived they went to the order of the day.

❤️️

The Mikaelson siblings, actually Kol and Freya were at the French Quarter Light up and as soon as the whole ceremony finished, they went to Elijah. 

"We have to hurry now."- Freya said to Elijah-"Rebekah is about to get here any minute."

"All right."- Elijah said looking at Elena, who nodded that it was fine that he left somewhat earlier and that she would take care of everything else. 

"So, you will not introduce us to your PA?"- Kol now said to Elijah, who was about to do it.

"Of course, I am."- Elijah said and now introduced Elena officially to Frey and Kol.

"Are you coming to the party?"- Kol said to Elena.

"No, I still have a few things to do here."

"You should come."- Kol said-"it's nothing official. It's just a few drinks and a cake. I don't think it is unprofessional if you have one drink with the family?"

"No, it's not."- Elena smiled.

"Ok. So we will see you at Rousseau's"

"Yes."- Elena agreed. 

As they left, Elena called Bonnie and asked if she could meet her at Rousseau's.

"Ah, I was about to call you. I can't make it. Caroline has dragged me to cake sampling thing. I couldn't say no, you know what she is like."

"That's ok. I still have work after."- Elena said-"Oh, I have met Kol and Freya. Kol is so great, you were right."

"You think?"

"Yeah."- Elena said and now as she got to the bar she cut the conversation short. 

She walked to them and Kol got her a drink as Elijah was busy talking to Rebekah and her boyfriend. 

"Just club-soda for me."- Elena said-"we still got to work later."

"Ah, you two are all about work. Perfect couple."- Kol said-"Loosen up a bit. One cocktail will not kill you."

"I know, but still I- am kind of working."

"Come on. I guarantee you that we will persuade Elijah not bug you with work anymore today. It's been forever since we were all together like this. Well, the three of us meet off an on for a drink, but Elijah, he was first busy with the campaign, and then taking this job way too seriously."

"Well, it is quite an important job and he has got loads to work to do to complete with his promises."- Elena said.

"True. But he needs to live a little, too."- Kol said and now got Elena a cocktail, whisking her to the others, letting Elijah now introduce her to Rebekah and her boyfriend. 

"Ah, you are the one who is keeping Elijah ship shaped."- Rebekah said and added-"Welcome to the family."

"What?"- Elena was puzzled.

"You being his PA means that you will be part of his life in every instance."- Freya explained.

"It is a bit different from the other PAs. I am a special assistant. I don't do personal errands and such."- Elena said.

"We know, I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."- Freya then said.

Elijah now came to them-

"Everything fine?"- Elijah said.

"Yes."- Elena replied putting the cocktail on the bar. 

"I hope that we will get out of here in a half an hour or so?"- Elijah said.

"Oh, no"- Rebekah now cut in having heard that Elijah was already thinking of leaving-"Can you not have one evening off? The way you go on, you will work on Christmas same as Ebeneezer Scrooge."

"I can have it all done tonight, and tomorrow we can just go through it quickly before the meeting. The meeting is at 4 pm anyway."- Elena said.

"There, a voice of reason. Come on. This is my birthday and I really will be angry if you leave before the cake gets here."

"All right."- Elijah said.

Elena now took her bag and as she wanted to leave, Kol stopped her. 

"I have to do the work. Thanks anyway."- Elena said her byes to the others and Kol said-

"See you around."

"Yes, see you."- Elena said. 

Elijah now went to see her to the door and have his Chauffeur give Elena a lift home. 

As they got outside, Elijah said-

"I am sorry. It is not fair to leave you with all the work, while I-"

"You should stay with your family, at least on a birthday. I have already all the notes and I will do it in no time."- Elena said. 

"I can't thank you enough."

"It's my job. Don't worry."- Elena said smiling at him and looked around for a moment saying-

"The lights are really beautiful this year."

"They really are."- Elijah also turned to look around - and then  there -they were- lost in a momentary gaze-

Aesthetic for my Klaroline one-shot, Chapter 197: Woman’s Work, in my series, A Beautiful Symmetry.

Klaroline AU historical fusion loosely based on an episode of The Borgias. Lord Klaus was less than pleased to be betrothed to a lady of such questionable character. But then he met the feisty blonde, and discovered a beautiful soul with intriguing secrets.

This is an aesthetic for my Klaroline story, Chapter 1: Part 2 - Redcoats and Blue Ribbons, in my one-shot series, Perhaps One Day.

As a spy for General Washington, Caroline thought she knew who the enemy was. But then she learned the truth about the arrogant Lieutenant Niklaus Mikaelson, and while he may be a detestable redcoat, he was not her enemy.

This was written for @klarolineauseason​ Klaroline AU Season 2022, June 26th, Week 4: Historical. Lord Finn Mikaelson is tired of Niklaus’ disreputable behavior with a common shopgirl. Fortunately, he has a plan to quietly end this embarrassing liaison before things get out of hand.

The Tart with Bite

           It was most unseemly how Lord Donovan’s boasts echoed throughout the chamber of the private gentlemen’s club. Lord Mikaelson could begrudgingly admit he played a magnificent hand, but there was such a thing as decorum. Finn adjusted the diamond cufflinks that had turned askew during the last round, letting out a disgruntled sigh as he realized Niklaus was late yet again. Likely mucking about with that coarse little shopgirl.

           His brother had never been temperate in his vices, gleefully flaunting his penchant for drink and women to the everlasting shame of his kinsmen. Not that it mattered one whit to the ton — the powerful Mikaelson surname had smoothed many a ruffled feather over the years. Indeed, every season was an embarrassment of riches for the Lords Mikaelson, all of the brothers considered lofty targets for every sharp-eyed maiden with their pretty beaks open.

           But then there was a drunken duel, Niklaus’ favorite morning coat damaged, and an irate shopgirl — a confluence of absurd events that somehow led to his brother’s greatest folly to date. Finn grimaced into his glass, the fine brandy naught but ash on his tongue as he considered the most recent disgraceful moments involving Niklaus and that impudent tart —  squiring her to Lady Lockwood’s high tea, carriage rides in Wickery Park, and then that appalling nonsense where he dared to bring her to the esteemed White Oak Costumed Ball!

           It was utter madness and high time he put an end to this unseemly courtship.

Author’s note: This was written for the @klarowinterbingo Klarowinter Bingo Event. This historical AU takes place in 1609-1610, known as the “Starving Time” in the Jamestown, Virginia, colony. Dark times have come to the colony, and Caroline’s village is trapped in a harsh, unforgiving winter. But the eccentric newcomers propose an unorthodox remedy to their hunger... 

Prompt: Black ice

Dine with the Devil

Warning: Angst. Plus, tasteful portrayals of cannibalism...no pun intended. Probably.

“There was nothing in her imagination to replace the formless, unchanging days of starvation. She clung to life because it seemed to have value, even if only to her.” — Shelley Parker-Chan, She Who Became the Sun

           The starving time had come to the Jamestown colony. The endless cycle of warfare with the tribes had squandered the lives of too many of their able-bodied men. Those left behind couldn’t properly tend the fields and the crops had withered before a proper harvest was collected. It had been an especially cruel winter. Caroline inwardly sighed, slicking her cracked, bleeding hands with salve and spurning the curious stare of Master Mikaelson once more. Despite the dire circumstances, he was bedecked in his usual finery of sumptuous velvets, silks, and leather trimmed with soft fur. Just one of those exquisitely crafted gold buttons from his waistcoat could’ve seen the survivors through this unforgiving winter.

           He’d recently arrived with several of his kinsmen on the second charter issued by the king, but the meager supplies they unloaded quickly were devoured, leaving the colonists even more desperate and fearful. If only she’d followed her instincts at the first withered corn husk and loaded her wagon then. It might not have carried her to the other sea as she once dreamed, but any life would be better than the death she faced in this doomed settlement. By now, the snowdrifts had buried the narrow pass through the mountains, cruelly cutting off their only means of escape. It was one of the few times that the Mikaelsons’ ostentatious wealth wouldn’t make a difference, she inwardly scoffed.

[supremeuppityone]

This was written for @klarosummerbingo. It was a romance that wasn’t meant to be. But they were too stubborn to fight their connection. When Caroline’s freedom is at stake, she has to make a tough choice — one with unexpected consequences.

Warning: A little bit of Klaroline sexytimes. Also, angsty angst. Violence. And possibly a happy ending if you squint?

Prompt: Sailing

“All the privilege I claim for my own sex, is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.” ― Jane Austen, Persuasion

           It was unseemly — and no doubt if the fine and proper ladies of the town’s social club could see Caroline boldly passing time unchaperoned with such a rogue, news would reach her father all the way in the lighthouse before breakfast. But it wasn’t unseemly. Or, it was, but it was...complicated. Klaus was terribly complicated.

           She first met him walking along the rocky shore, the moonlight casting a lovely glow on the sea’s gently rolling waves. He was kneeling in the sand, mindlessly trailing his hands through the water. No. The water went through him. She’d always thought the notion of ghosts and hauntings was foolish talk among the old gossips in the sewing circles, but it was difficult to dismiss such flights of fancy when it studied you so intently. And flashed you a devilish smirk.

           Her father always admonished her questioning nature and insisted she quell her sharp tongue, but Klaus encouraged her forthrightness. He was a marvelous resource, and during their long walks, he taught her what he knew of sailing, and distant lands, and pirates. It was thrilling and oh so scandalous to realize she’d become the only confidant of a pirate.

           “It was here, wasn’t it,” Caroline hesitantly asked him, “where your ship sank?”

           Klaus nodded, a twinge in his tone despite it being such a distant memory. “There wasn’t a lighthouse to guide us back then. Then the storm came, and with a harpy’s vengeance it descended upon the Bloodline, tearing our ship asunder before crashing the remaining pieces against the shore.” A sigh escaped his lips as he confessed, “The crew was nothing more than cut-throat reprobates, but I regret my brother Henrik was aboard. An obstinate lad, he stowed away in the hold, sneaking rations from the pickled herring barrels.”

           Caroline fervently wished she could squeeze his hand to offer comfort, but she knew it would be little more than a chill passing over her skin. An almost-touch was somehow worse.

           “When the squalls pummeled the ship, I swear I tried to reach him,” he hoarsely cried, “and for a single golden moment, Davy Jones was thwarted and I managed to capture Henrik’s wrist. I grasped with all my might, but the current was too strong and ripped my brother from my grasp, sending him to that devil’s locker.”

           Her cheeks were wet; ears ringing with the tale of her fondest friend’s sorrow. “And that’s why you linger?”

           “It was.” Klaus paused, his furtive glance full of meaning as he revealed, “But now I have a new reason.”

This was written for @klarosummerbingo  and is the sequel to Chapter 148 in A Beautiful Symmetry. King Niklaus is quite bold with his intentions toward Lady Caroline. However, not everyone agrees with his latest decision...

Warning: Some Klaroline sexytimes. And a bit of violence and angst.

Prompt: “One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly, one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.” ― Aristotle

           Must she always make such a spectacle? A curtsey was quite wobbly when barefoot upon the roughly-hewn landing, and Caroline clumsily grabbed the newel post to keep from falling. From the chuckles hastily covered by coughs in the foyer below, it was obvious that the king and his retinue noticed her artless attempt at a proper greeting. “Your Majesty,” she mumbled, cheeks pinked in the afternoon light. She caught his openly wanton gaze, reminding her that such royal titles had become part of their lusty games.

           She spied his brother Finn, the high-handed Lord Chancellor, stone-faced despite Klaus’ obviously jovial mood. Klaus often grumbled at his brother’s fussy ways, but begrudgingly admitted that Finn presided admirably over the Privy Council, ensuring the various aspects of the kingdom ran smoothly. After a pointed look from Klaus, Finn heaved a great sigh and directed the rest of the guards to various points outside of the manor.

           With a theatrical flourish, Finn announced, “We’ll leave you to your...amusements. Have a pleasant afternoon, your Majesty.”

           “I dare say our amusements will be quite pleasant,” Klaus smirked, not giving his brother a backward glance as he raced up the stairs to twirl Caroline in his arms.
