86 - Calling Us Home

Part 87

Gemini Runaway

@icefrye19 @secretdreamlandmentality

Walking through the streets of Mystic Falls it was just me and the girls with me. Damon and Stefan needed Klaus’s help with something that involved some sort of stone. Since Lily has brought her lover back from hell I'm told. Heading up to the ice cream shop I halted in my tracks seeing one of the Heretics looking at the menu board. "Uh girls, how about we go somewhere else.."

"But I want ice cream!" Hope tugged my arm when I attempted to tug them backwards.

Missy begged me. "Please mommy."

"You promised that if we were really good while you and dad went to visit Jo's husband." Alina said back, making me roll my eyes.

Taking a few more steps we were at the order menu with me standing beside the heretic girl. She turned her head, noticing us beside her. "Do you have any good recommendations on this tiny establishment?"

"It's ice cream. I don't think there are any bad options." Dropping down on a knee to be level with our daughters. "Okay so what do you all want?"

Missy raised her hand like in school. "Strawberry."

Hope went after her. "Rocky road."

Leaving Alina last. "Cookies n cream!"

"Okay. That will be all for us sir." Handing the worker the money I eyed the heretic who was just staring at me. "Sorry I don't mean to be rude. But can I help you?"

The brunette heretic nodded, ordering a chocolate ice cream cone. “So I hear you’re a witch from what Valerie has told us.”

“Actually I’m like you, Incendia.” Holding up my freehand some fire came out and died away. I smiled, licking my cookie dough cone.

The woman nodded, taking a bite out of her cone covering her mouth with her hand gasping. “Oh my, that's colder than I thought. But it’s very good.”

“If you want rather good human food I suggest the Mystic Grill. Let’s go girls.” I turned on my heels about to leave until she called out to us.

“I’m Nora. What are your and your daughter’s names?” She asked me.

Glancing over my shoulder I sent her a small smile pointing towards my girls when I introduced them. “I’m Raelyn Mikaelson. My oldest daughter here is Hope. Then this is Alina and finally Melissa but we mostly just call her Missy.”

“Well they’re adorable.” She sighed, dropping her smile at the ground. “At least you have a family to experience this world together with unlike me.”

Missy licked her cone, feeling her sadness. “Where is your family at?”

Nora sniffed away tears. “My girlfriend Mary Louise isn’t exactly open to trying out this new world together with me. I have been forced to endure it alone.”

“That’s sad.” Hope replied back.

Alina reached for my hand grasping it lightly when I sent the heretic a smile. “In my experience if your partner wants to be with you. Then they will do whatever they have to make you happy. But you shouldn’t have to wait alone. So if you are open to it I can be your friend.”

“What do you want out of it?” Nora asked.

Shaking my head I could feel someone watching us. “Nothing. I just know what it’s like to be scared and need a friend ... .I'd suggest showing yourself before I make you!”

“She’s a fiery little bitch isn’t she.” Whipping my head around I watched the blonde heretic walking towards us with a scowl on her face.

Nora sent her an annoyed look. “What are you doing here, Mary Lou?”

“I want you to come home. I miss you.” She told her back.

Nora rolled her eyes taking more bites out of her ice cream cone. “Well I don’t want to come home with you and stay in the house. All because you are too afraid to embrace the new world. Even if it has annoying things. It’s better than being in that prison world.”

“What are you all staring at. This is a private conversation!” Mary Louise snapped showing her fangs to me.

Throwing away the cone I pushed my daughters in the opposite direction looking back at the couple only one more time. We finally made it back to the mansion and I opened the door seeing Klaus was waiting on the couch. “Raelyn, we need to talk alone. Girls, can you go to your rooms please for a little while.”

“Okay daddy.” Alina slumped her shoulders with the other two following her footsteps.

Walking over to the couch I plopped down beside him shifting my gaze towards my husband. “So what exactly do we need to talk about, Nik?”

“We need to leave Mystic Falls.” He said taking a drink of bourbon from the glass he was holding.

“What why?” I questioned him.

He shifted so we were facing each other sitting his glass on the table. His gaze focused on mine. “Apparently the heretics that we helped release are in possession of a stone I recognized from my thousand years. It’s called a phoenix stone that brought back one of the heretic souls that were trapped inside of it.”

Putting my hands together in my lap I tilted my head to the side. “Okay so why exactly do we need to run back to New Orleans?”

“Because the stone belongs to a sword that belongs to a hunter. A hunter that wants to kill anyone who stops her from getting her marked kill.” He explained raising his hands and I could tell that he was slightly beginning to panic. “If she makes you with her sword she can find anyone of us and she won’t stop-“

Holding my hands up I cut him off not liking that he was panicking. “Nik, slow down. I get that barely anything scares you. But why exactly are you afraid of this supposed hunter? I mean clearly she’s not here.”

“One of the heretics is marked, Raelyn.” He blurted out gently, grabbing my shoulders. “His name is Julian and he was the one they just released from the hell stone. Meaning that the huntress will come here to kill him.”

Moving my hands onto his forearms I gained his attention seeing that he was letting some tears out in fear. “Klaus, stop worrying. We don’t have to run like you did from Mikael for a thousand years. We were separated for six years by Marcel but I won’t run anymore.”

“Rae.”

He simply said my name before my phone started ringing so I took it out of my pocket seeing I was my brother. “J, hey. What’s going on?”

“Raelyn, we need you and Klaus to come back here. Something is happening with Andrea.” He was frantically talking through the phone.

Shaking my head I needed him to calm down. “Woah Jacob. Slow down. Just tell me what is going on there.”

“So uh….you know that thing we called the Hollow. Well apparently Andrea has been seeing a blue light calling out to her. It gives her nightmares and I don’t know what to do. We…I need your help.” My twin’s voice broke when he finished his sentence telling me he was terrified for his daughter.

Hanging up the phone Klaus lifted his gaze upward to me since I jumped to my feet. “What’s going on, love?”

“We’re going to New Orleans. My brother called for our help.” Stomping up the stairs I didn’t know that Klaus was smirking as I walked away with headstrong determination.

He mumbled to himself proudly. “She truly is a Queen.”

Comments really appreciated ❤️

MARY LOUISE X NORA HILDEGARD (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES)

Not me searching Delena and coming across the Denzo tag.

Why did I never notice before? Now that I've seen posts about Denzo, I'm obsessed.

Ugh! Now I wish it did happen in TVD. Damon and Enzo getting together.

I think Delena blinded me to the obvious tension between Damon and Enzo.

The Vampire Diaries was seriously lacking in same sex couples.

The only one we saw interacting together on screen was Nora and Mary-Louise. Which what happened with them was heartbreaking.

Follow the Sound of My Voice - Legacies x Noralise!Daughter!Reader

The Story of My Life

B/m/n = biological mother’s name

A/n: Welcome to the circus.

"I hate the circus." Lizzie grumbled as she and Hope approached the travelling entertainment.

"Oh, good. This is a carnival!" Hope replied with a smirk.

"No, you're right, that's so different- how did Y/n already get in there? And she bought snacks too? If we see a clown, I'm out of here." Lizzie replied, gesturing to how you were already past the ticket booths and looking over the snack wares.

You were too far away and enjoying the snack options to hear Hope reinforce the reminder of the sirebond on Lizzie, or the rest of their conversation.

Your mothers glanced around as they walked around the carnival, raising an eyebrow every so often at something that caught their eye.

///

"Consider this to be Vampire 101-"

"And Y/n, you're going to let her just walk around the carnival whilst we do these stupid tests?" Lizzie interrupted, frowning as Hope's eyes immediately found you.

"Y/n can always find me, and she's a fool, so she won't leave without me either." Hope smirked, her eyes gazing over your figure before you turned your head, staring at her with a raised eyebrow from across the carnival grounds.

"She makes it sound like Y/n is the sirebonded one," Nora sighed, folding her arms, "but I suppose Y/n's feelings for Hope mean that she would be if she was turned."

"Remember what I said before? Turning an angel into a vampire desecrates nature." B/m/n replied, humming as she watched you throw heavy balls at metal tins for tickets.

///

"How did Y/n get tickets-" Lizzie exclaimed, spotting you walking around with a stack of tickets in your hands and a smile on your face.

"She's having fun, let her be. Remind me of the score again." Hope ordered, smirking as Lizzie huffed.

"Seven to nothing."

///

"You want me to win you a panda?" Lizzie tilted her head to the side.

"Cute, but Y/n has that covered. I want you to find that vendor's voice. Concentrate..." Hope trailed off, frowning as she could no longer see you in the carnival crowds.

Your mothers shared looks as Hope glanced around, concerned for you.

///

"Y/n? What's going on? Hey, I'm not going to hurt you, are you okay?" Lizzie asked, carefully approaching the little girl crying on a stack of crates.

The girl flinched as she turned around from where you had been kneeling in front of her.

"Someone took my sister."

Passing Lizzie the photo strip that the girl, known as Luna had, you ignored Hope rolling her eyes.

"You believe me?"

"Of course we do. And don't worry, we'll find her. Won't we?" Lizzie glanced between you and Hope.

Nora's eyes softened as she watched you interract with Luna, her fingers entwining with Mary Lou's subconsciously.

"Yeah. Sure we will. Why don't you take that, get yourself some candy floss or something like that, okay? We'll take care of it." Hope's voice was soft, your heart fluttering slightly as memories of the old Hope left your chest aching.

"Helping out random strangers in need is the definition of 'complicated', let's go." Hope tried, but your hand caught her elbow, pulling her back.

"I'm going to find her sister. Don't kill anyone whilst I'm gone." You warned, but Hope leaned in, staring into your eyes with a smirk.

"No promises."

"Let's go, L." You called out, watching as Hope walked away.

"Unfazed by Hope in her face, that's a start." Mary Lou muttered, smiling softly as Nora gently kissed the back of her hand.

///

You grimaced as you walked through the horror tunnel with Lizzie, trying not to flinch at the sound of the chainsaw in your ear as you walked by the maniac holding one.

Lizzie's eyes widened as she spotted the bloody hand on the mirror, feeling you standing behind her, until you weren't.

"Where did Y/n go?" "I didn't see- that stupid zombie got in the way!" "Are you sure the sister is even here still?" Your mothers exclaimed, talking to each other with voices getting louder and louder, over the screams and horror noises of the horror tunnel.

Turning slightly, Lizzie frowned as she opened the secret passage, whispering the spell for a ball of light in her hand as she stepped in. Her face falling at the body on the floor. Bite mark in her neck.

Luna's sister had been fed on and killed.

And you were missing.

Lizzie barely had time to turn around as vervain was injected into her neck, everything falling to black as her eyes and body grew heavy.

"They're vampires." "Carnival vampires? What did they watch Vampire Circus or something? It's a movie from 1972..." B/m/n explained as Nora and Mary-Lou gave her confused looks.

///

"You're not a vampire, like your friends. In fact, I'd think you were just a human carnie, but if it wasn't your smell. No human has ever smelt like that, so... sweet." A vampire dressed as ironically, a vampire smirked, her hand on your neck as she held you up against the wall.

"I wonder if you taste different too." The vampire smiled, her fangs protruding from her gums as she met your gaze.

Your mothers' glared at the vampire, Mary-Lou's hand falling through the vampire's neck as the urge to snap it and kill the vampire hurting you rushed through her.

"You can't handle it." You grunted, moving your hand to grab at the one on your neck.

"We'll see about that." The vampire smirked, pulling you into her as she buried her fangs in your neck. You winced, a squeal leaving your lips as the vampire tried to feed.

B/m/n gagged at the noises, whilst Mary-Lou's face fell into rage and Nora grimaced at the look on your face.

Choking noises were heard next as you dropped to the floor, the vampire spluttering as your blood burned her tongue, her lips smoking slightly.

"What the hell- so damn sweet, it, it burns!" the vampire hissed, gasping at her throat as you watched from the ground.

"What are you?"

"I'm an Angel, bitch." You replied, hand holding your neck wound as the scarlet liquid seeped from the wound.

The door being kicked in was the last thing you heard before the light in your eyes faded.

"Is she-" B/m/n whispered, unable to look as your body grew still. "From blood loss, this time." Nora quietly replied, wishing she could close your eyes as they laid open, staring up into the darkness of the room.

///

"You know I killed Landon and Y/n, right? I was in a dark place and I lost control of my temper. They came back alive, and everyone kind of just, moved on, and I didn't believed I deserved a good outcome, after I did something so terrible." MG explained, stepping closer to Ethan as Ethan turned around to listen.

///

"Y/n, in love with the Tribrid or not, you should not let her walk all over you-"

"Who even are you? And who is Jen, she called you uncle!" You snapped, turning to face Oren.

"Y/n, if you found Jen, you will be safe. It is Ken you have to worry about. My brother." Oren warned, but the light began to fade as your body revived.

///

"Sorry it took so long, we had to hunt down the rest of the carnie vampires, and this one hid you from the others." Lizzie explained as she offered you a hand.

"Why are you both splattered with blood?" You asked, taking Lizzie's offered hand as you glanced over her and Hope.

"Nora, my love, I think we missed some of the show." Mary Louise whined as Nora hummed in disappointment.

"We went hunting." Hope shrugged, smirking as you glared, "don't worry angel, no humans were harmed, so you don't need to get your underwear in a twist."

"Can we please stop talking about underwear?" Lizzie interjected, stuck watching Hope lean closer and closer to you.

///

"And if you see Y/n, or, or Finch, tell them I said hey. Or hi. Or whatever. Only if you see them." Maya rambled as MG raised an eyebrow and Ethan looked constipated.

///

Staring at the ground, you bit your lip as Lizzie compelled Luna to feel more than just grief and sadness about her sister, memories flickering over you as you remembered what Hope said to Lizzie about grief all that time ago.

"Nice work with that compulsion."

You zoned out as Hope and Lizzie had a conversation you didn't think you should be a part of. Until Lizzie asked Hope not to take away the sirebond.

Co-dependency.

"I should open up my own school, but for Tribrids only."

"Hope, you're the only one." Lizzie deadpanned, nudging you to come with as they headed back to Jen's truck.

"Where the hell are they heading off to now?" B/m/n grumbled, ignoring the raised eyebrow of Mary Louise and Nora's smirk. B/m/n was reaching the end of her patience.

///

it’s so blatantly obvious they didn’t gaf about Nora and Mary Louise and just wanted to get rid of them and any vestige of the heretics plot as soon as possible... and I’m not even protesting TOO much because it was pretty much a failure and I only really cared for Lily but. damn. having them just captured by the armory and go out in a discount thelma & louise car ride ending made with zero effort... it’s pretty callous as BYG goes 😬

Idk if anyone's ever asked u this but what would ur life in tvd be like?! Including ur family ,career, friends, species etc lmao

oh ho ho, so this is certainly a thing i've considered

as someone who maladaptive daydreams all day long (whenever i'm not writing basically), trust me when i say i have an entire life planned out

in fact, the things i write frequently represent these daydreams, except i have an OC for them, whereas for writing, i am committed to the 'x reader' way

✨ including my readers in my world of delusion & fantasy ✨

but onwards and upwards…

species

first, I feel like being a heretic would be so fucking cool

like… vampire with witch powers, c'mon now… being the underdog your whole life and then rising to be the most powerful, it's gotta be redeeming

plus seems so fun

but personally, I think I'd stick to being just a witch, and I have a solid reason for this

now, being a vampire would be cool, too (and honestly I need to write more vampire reader fics), because I absolutely love the bloodthirsty, badassery of vampires

so if not a witch (bc I love the thought of being able to do magic), I would go with vamp second

I still hate the TVDU wolves. literally all of them. as someone who watches Teen Wolf now, I would LOVE to be one of those wolves, but as for TVDU, I still HATE those guys

being a hybrid doesn't sound too bad, although then both Klaus and Tyler would be all up in my business all the time, and that sounds awful

so no wolfishness for me

for species, I'd be a witch, but then I get turned into a vampire in my mid-20s

career

I need to eat, so I need to work

idk how anybody except Matt got by without a job

and like Matt, I work at the Mystic Grill, but I'm a little older than them, so I can bartend (even tho underage Matt does too)

I was going to Whitmore College, but dropped out (like I did lmao)

friends

Mystic Falls gang but in varying degrees of friendliness

most with Caroline, loving her bubbly personality; drift away from Elena when she gets tied up with the Salvatores; drift from Bonnie when she starts dating Jeremy, then drift further after the Kai debacle

also, the Originals

Kol has the title of the best friend; Bex is close, too

sometimes I'm so much of a Kolvina shipper that I can't split Kol & Davina apart, even tho I'm in love with Kol, too

Klaus is a frenemy; I like him when he's not murderous. he can be loyal when he wants to be, same with Elijah.

in fact, I liked Elijah in s2-era, but was also a little afraid. my crush fizzled out the moment I saw Kol, but then she & him became good friends instead (with both)

hooked up with Kol once or twice when he still lived in MF

friendly with Jo, but she's not really having it once I get with Kai

same with Luke and Liv... friendly, but Liv hates me after the merge

circa-season 7, I want to be friends with Nora & Mary Louise, but the MF gang works hard at keeping me away from them

amidst the chaos, I manage to get my way and befriend them anyway, earning their trust by being so close to Kai

when I die, I'm given blood by Nora, like in the fic I wrote recently, or Damon, who likes me enough to keep me alive and knows Kai would slaughter him if he ever came back and found out

seasons 7-8, I'm very much teaming on both sides, friends with MF gang and heretics, which is frustrating to MF gang (minus Caroline, who has become somewhat reliant on heretics for help with her pregnancy. + she always understands me anyway.)

frenemies

Tyler and Matt get their own category, bc I don't hate them, but they certainly piss me off

Tyler's just annoying in general, and I hate how he treats Caroline while he's away hybrid-ing

he gets better in s6 when he's trying to impress Liv & Caroline is over him. still not a friend, but less of an enemy

Matt, on the other hand, is complicated

he was my way into the supernatural bc we worked together

he had trouble keeping it from me bc vampires would always show up at the grill, and one time, he forgot I wasn't in the circle and ranted about vamps and wolves before he remembered

he and the gang still try to keep me out of it, despite my knowledge

but that all fails when Kol is undaggered, finds me alone, and we become friends

the fact that he actively hates vampires while hooking up with Rebekah bothers me, which causes tension between us

but he's stronger than he looks and loyal if he trusts you, so I try to keep him on my good side

family

my TVDU OC is the same OC I've had since I was 13 that I've slightly adapted for different fandoms

in TVDU, my parents are divorced; mom moved away, and toxic dad lives about 2 hours away while I'm in college

I hide whenever he comes to MF to visit

occasionally, my parents are dead like everyone else's

sometimes, though, I'm the older sister of other characters, but that varies per daydream

sometimes, I'm Tyler's older sister who is actually a wolf

triggered my curse young in life by accident, but didn't tell Tyler until he had triggered his own

sometimes, I'm even Matt's older sister, and he still spends every waking minute trying to keep me out of the supernatural

I've also used the Salvatore sister storyline with Kol, and Gilbert cousin one for both Kol and Kai

dating life

Kai, ofc

MF gang tried sooo hard to us apart, especially bc I'm a witch, but they lost that battle quickly

couldn't keep me from work, so whenever he'd come in for a drink and I was bartending, we'd talk

gained his trust through listening & he gained mine when I let him siphon

Matt and Damon first to realize we're friends, and know there's nothing they can do

fall into a relationship quickly

either beg Damon to spare him at the end of s6, or beg for his life in s8

had a crush on s2-era Elijah, but did a 180* and fell for Kol instead when he was undaggered

used as Kol bait when Caroline was Klaus bait, but despite a few hook-ups, never actually dated

became close friends & adore his relationship with Davina in NOLA

visit him there or wherever he is every so often

[I honestly never built a solid storyline around being with Kol or Elijah. (Elijah was my first favorite ever, and Kol's my second fave now next to Kai.) I entertain a world of delulu with Kol sometimes, but it lacks foundation.]

basically, he never died (obvs) and I move to NOLA with him (and he never dies there, too)

but I love both witch & vamp Kols, and both their actors, and I really should dedicate more time to delulu daydreams with them 😅

so, now that I've rambled...

species: witch, until Kai's death, then i become a vampire. however, if Kai doesn't die after s6, neither of us turn. (sometimes I'm feelin' heretic-y, sometimes not, what can I say?)

career: working at Mystic Grill; at Whitmore College for two years, but dropped out

friends: Caroline, Bonnie, & Elena first. Stefan & Damon post season 1 when Damon mellows out and I learn to trust Stefan. Kol & Rebekah, and I'm okay with the rest eventually (minus Finn).

family: divorced parents; mom moved and I stay away from my dad

frenemies: Matt & Tyler. s2 Klaus & Elijah. Finn, because I know he was mistreated by Klaus, much like Kol, and I want to be friends, but then he tries to kill his whole family, so I don't feel bad anymore. Then when Finn killed Kol in NOLA, he became a straight-up enemy. Also, I tolerate Alaric, but he annoys me daily in s6-8-era.

~~~

If anyone outside of this site read a single one of these sentences, I would be committed. I love fandoms / fanfiction, because all this stuff is perfectly normal to us. I love us as a community. Anyway, this was super fun to answer! 🥰 I'm sorry it took me so long!

#asks #tvd #the vampire diaries #when i was in ms/hs i did ALL of those tvd / hp / spn / pjo / twilight life quizzes ALL THE TIME #and this reminded me of that #also the last time i logged into quotev my screen name was kai and i was like 👀 bc i never got to s6 my first time watching tvd #so ig it's fate #idk what could've compelled me to pick that name #anyway thank you for the ask ily

First Love Vs Epic Love

Stefan Salvatore x Male Reader

A/N: Current episode I'm on in the Vampire Diaries.

Y/N paced around Stefan’s room, worriedly. He was worried about Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Caroline, Alaric,and Matt. He was trapped in the Salvatore estate with the Heretics and Lillian Salavatore. One was dead thanks to him, Damon and Bonnie, so Lillian had Enzo kidnap him in retaliation and even took Elena’s coffin, and now he was incapable of leaving. He had to get out of here, he just had too.

Nora came strolling into the room, a haughty attitude in her step as looked at Y/N. “Don’t get cocky. You’re still spelled into the room. But I figured you could use some space to stretch your legs.”

“Oh, well, how thoughtful of you,” Y/N sarcastically said. “But considering this is my room, it's the least you and your larceny family could do.”

“Your room?” Nora asked.

“Yeah, my room. The one that I’ve shared with my boyfriend for the last three and a half years. We’ve shared many magic nights here and I even have my name written on the headboard.”

“Well, then, that changes everything then,” Nora said. She held up a journal. Stefan’s journal. He burned most of them when his memories had been wiped by Qetsiyah. “Since you know everything, maybe you’d like to give this a read?” She threw the book onto a nearby table.

“Stefan’s journal? I’ve read it already,” Y/N said.

“Really? Well, then, you probably know all about Valerie and Stefan.” Nora smirked at Y/N’s shocked face. He knew about Katherine and Lexi from his journals, but they never said anything about Valerie.

“What are you talking about? What the hell is Valerie doing with Stefan’s journal?”

“She never goes anywhere without it, and it was the first thing she looked for when we realized we were trapped in 1903. The entry for July 15, 1863, should tell you why.” She smiled and turned on her heels, as Y/N frowned down at the journal. 1863? A year before Stefan and Damon met Katherine. A year before they became vampires. His curiosity was peaked as he opened the journal to the date recommended as he began to read it.

JULY 15, 1863-- I just had the strangest encounter outside the county fair. I met someone, a girl. We only spoke for a moment, but her name is Valerie, and she may be the most wonderful girl I have ever met.

Y/N, is confused and a little upset, and frowns after he finishes the entry. Valerie and Stefan had a past? Great, just what he needed to make an already awful situation worse. Y/N couldn't sleep that night, so he spent all night and morning reading Stefan’s journal entries. It was almost like having him next to Y/N as he read them. He was sitting on Stefan's bed.

Valerie was like a breath of fresh air. I'd been suffocating, and hadn't even realized it…

Y/N’s reading is interrupted by the sound of a music box, which appears on the desk next to him, playing a quiet song as the ballerina inside spins around. The music box then disappears, causing Y/N to frown in confusion until the music box reappears in front of Y/N on the bed. Y/N immediately puts an instinctive hand in front of himself as he calls out, “Music box!” The box disappears from sight, and the sound of an explosion and screaming can be heard from the next room. It's Nora and Mary Louise. They tried to send him an exploding music box. Nice try.

Y/N smiles smugly as he calls out loud, “Thanks girls for the gift. It's an explosion of fun.”

Before he can continue reading, Y/N hears the sound of a phone vibrating on the floor underneath the table. Y/N, both confused and excited, scampers over to answer it.

“Hello?”

“Y/N?”

“Stefan!?” Y/N cries out.

“How are you on my phone right now?” Stefan asks from the other side of the line.

“You must have dropped it when you got threshold-vacuumed out of here yesterday,” Y/N said.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

“Well, I’m spelled in our room by a psychotic family of Heterics, but other than that…” Y/N said.

“I know. I’m still trying to figure a way to get into the house,” Stefan said.

“I’ll be fine, Fangs. Just keep Damon from killing any more Heretics. Which is ironic, since I did help him.”

“I will. Lily's only keeping you there to turn me against Damon. I'll convince her that I hate his guts, and she'll have made her point.”

Y/N nodded his head in understandment as his eyes traveled back towards the journal. He had to ask Stefan. He had to know the truth. No matter how uncomfortable the answer would be. “Who's Valerie Tulle, Fangs? You wrote about her in your journal from 1863. She must have found a copy in the prison world.” Even though he can’t see his face, Stefan is shocked at Y/N saying that name. It brings up old memories. Ones he thought he’d long since buried.

“Are you talking about one of the Heretics?”

“Yeah. Dirty-blonde hair, blue eyes? She's one of my new psycho housemates… and not that pretty.” Stefan chuckles on the other side of the phone and that makes Y/N smile a bit, but their moment is short lived as Valerie appears behind him and squeezes the hand Y/N is using to hold the phone. Y/N grunts out. “Y/N? What’s wrong?” The phone breaks under the forced pressure as the remains fall to the floor in pieces.

“Dirty-blonde hair, blue eyes, psycho. Not pretty. Summarized me to a tee!” Valerie says as she kicks Y/N hard in the head as he groans and falls on his back. “Bitch.”

“I’ve been called worse,” Valerie says.

“Y/N?” Stefan asked. When his phone beeps to indicate the call has ended, he groans in frustration and hangs up. Just then, Stefan hears the sound of glass shattering behind the Grill and rushes outside to see what is going on. When he gets outside, he sees Lily, who is in the driver's seat of an older car and is in the middle of parking between Stefan's Porsche and another car. She hits the latter's front bumper, knocking it off, and he sighs in annoyance before slowly inching forward. When Stefan sees her heading for his car, he vamp-speeds until he's standing in between the Porsche and Lily's car.

“You can take my town, you can destroy my house, but you will not touch my car,” Stefan said, pointing to his Porsche.

“Good morning, Stefan,” Lillian says, as she gets out of the car.

“What are you doing?”

“I was out practicing my driving and saw an opportunity to work on my parallel parking.”

“Hmm.” Suddenly, the sound of hissing air is heard as Lily's car slumps slightly on one side. Stefan and Lily walk around the car to check out one of the driver's-side tires, and Lily looks mildly embarrassed. “I must have run over a nail or something. The streets around here are a disgrace.”

“Listen. You need to tell those spoiled brats living in my house to stop torturing my boyfriend.”

“Of course. As soon as you tell your brother to stop killing said spoiled brats,” Lillian calmly says. Lillian opens up the trunk of her car to search for the tool box so she can start repairing her flat tire.

“Damon and I aren't really speaking right now,” Stefan lies.

“Really?”

“I have no idea where he is. Apparently, you did both of us a favor when you told him to leave town.”

“Then I will give a lecture to the girls on their manners,” Lillian said.

��Is one of those girls named Valerie Tulle?” Stefan asks her.

Lillian smiles. “I was wondering when you might put those pieces together. I knew Valerie years before you did. She worked in my TB ward. After I turned, I took her under my wing. If memory serves me, you didn't meet her until 1863.”

“How would you know that I met her?” Stefan asked, suspiciously.

“Because, Stefan... I sent her to you.”

Insert Flashback—MYSTIC FALLS COUNTY FAIR, 1863:

The county fair is underway near Mystic Falls, and the fairgrounds are full of people and there is music all around. Valerie scans the area, until her eyes fall upon Stefan, dressed in a fine day suit, is sitting on a bench and writing in his journal. Valerie, wearing the traditional day gown of the time period, approaches him.

“Care to share?” A nearby woman asks off to the side.

Valerie stands in front of Stefan, hands on her hips as his eyes are glued to writting in his journal. “You have to move.” Stefan looks up at the sudden voice, and sees a beautiful young woman standing before him. “Excuse me?”

“Your sad mood is spoiling the fun for everyone!” Valerie indicates to the whole fair. Both Valerie and Stefan laugh in amusement.

“I'm Valerie Tulle.”

“Stefan Salvatore. Are you new to town?”

“Just passing through.”

“I hope not too fast.”

Valerie smiles at Stefan’s kindness.

END FLASHBACK—PRESENT DAY SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

Valerie is standing in front of Y/N, holding up Stefan's journal. “How do you have this?”

“Nora gave it to me. The better question is, why do you have my boyfriend’s journal? What was the deal with you and Stefan?” Y/N asked her.

Valerie smiled at Y/N, like what he just asked was amusing. “Your boyfriend?” She asks him.

“Yeah, my boyfriend.” Y/N wasn’t the jealous type, but something about Valerie rubbed him the wrong way. Almost like Katherine, but not as strong as her.

“Wouldn't you like to know?”

“You know what? You're right I don’t want to know. The last thing I need to think about is some girl who batted her eyelashes at Stefan, like, a million years ago,” Y/N sarcastically says.

“‘Some girl?’” Valerie asks, amused. “I wasn't just some girl to him, Y/N. I was the first love of Stefan's life.”

….

Back outside the Mystic Grill Stefan and Lillian continue to talk outside while Stefan helps her change her flat tire. “Why did you send Valerie to me?”

“To check on you. Like any mother longing for her children, I was in a black hole of depression,” Lillian said. Stefan has a skeptical look on his face. “Yes, Stefan, I'm more than the cold-hearted snake you and your brother wish me to be. It took me a long time to get over losing you.” Lillian sighed as she continued telling her story to Stefan. “Anyway, I had been invited to travel to Europe with a... a vampire gentleman-friend of mine, but I refused to leave until I knew that my boys were okay.”

Stefan chuckled. “Heh. A gentleman-friend? You had a boyfriend?” Stefan rose to his feet.

“His name was Julian. What? You're acting as if that's absurd.”

“Well, your first husband shot and killed his own sons, so you'll have to excuse me if I don't trust your type,” Stefan said.

Lillian frowns at that. “Julian was nothing like your father.”

“No? What was he? A nebbishy banker? Town butcher, perhaps?”

“Julian was the man you are not supposed to fall for. So, of course, I did…”

FLASHBACK-- MYSTIC FALLS COUNTY FAIR, 1863

The county fair is still in full swing, and a well-dressed blonde man, Julian, is running a kissing booth where women can pay two pennies, which will be donated to the Confederate Army, to kiss him. He dips one of his customers as he kisses her, and when he breaks away and helps the woman upright, she gasps and fans herself. Julian then turns to the crowd to address them with a charming smile. “For the soldiers!” There is a lot of clapping and whistling going as a woman mutters a ‘yes,’ underneath her breath.

“Have your tickets ready, ladies! The men on the battlefield need us!” Julian says. He smiles at the crowd once again , and looks at a nearby woman who has come up to kiss him. “Hi.”

“Hello,” she says.

Julian's smile fades when he sees Valerie and Stefan sitting together on a nearby bench. Valerie tosses a piece of popcorn at Stefan, who tries to catch it in his mouth, but it misses and lands on the ground next to him. Valerie giggles at Stefan’s failed attempts. “You have to hold still! It will be delicious, I promise.” She tosses another piece of popcorn at him, but he just barely misses it, and the two laugh. Just then, Julian approaches them, looking displeased. “Aren’t we ladylike?” Stefan and Valerie turn to him, as Valerie has a slight frown on her face.

“Stefan... Meet Julian.”

Stefan gets up, trying to make a good first impression. “Your daughter and I were just appreciating the scientific wonder of gravitational force.” Stefan shakes Julian’s hand, as he chuckles nervously. Julian forces a fake smile as he looks at Valerie. “Hmm. How wise you must sound to less intelligent men.”

Valerie frowns as she steps forward. “Julian is not my father.”

“Oh, uh, my apologies! I just assumed—”

“Incorrectly, as it turns out.” Julian gives Valerie a look as he grabs hold of her, roughly. “Valerie, darling—a word?” He pulls her to the side as Stefan looks on. “Ugh, you're wrinkling my dress, Julian.”

“What are you doing?” Julian demands.

“Lily sent us here to get a sense of his mood…”

“Exactly. His mood, not his manhood. Remember, his mother gave very strict instructions for us to keep our distance. Do not displease her.”

“I have everything under control.” Valerie smiles at Stefan, who smiles at her back.

END FLASHBACK

Back in the present day of the Salvatore Boarding House, Y/N and Valerie are sitting in Stefan’s room as she flashes him a smile. A hint of cockyness in its form. “I was lying. I wasn't prepared for how taken I was with him. He was gorgeous and sweet…”

Y/N rolled his eyes. “And let me guess. That’s when you compelled him to write all those nice things about you in his journal. Spoiler! I've heard this story before, when a sweet, little orphan girl named Katherine Pierce waltzed into his life.”

“I suppose that would have been easier had I actually had the ability to compel people,” Valerie said. “I wasn't a vampire back then. I was just a witch, rejected from her coven for being an abomination of nature because I had no power of my own. The only magic I had was contained in an amulet, to be siphoned in times of need.”

“Aww, it must suck not having magic of your own,” Y/N said with false sympathy. Valerie glared at Y/N as he said that. “What makes you think you’re any better than me? Than the others?”

“Well let’s see. Only three reasons: Magic, magic, and oh, look, more magic. I don’t need to siphon the magic in my body to cast spells or use active magic. I just am.”

“Yes, well, not all of us were born into magic that we didn’t deserve.”

Y/N glared. “Just finish your stupid story.”

FLASHBACK—MYSTIC FALLS COUNTY FAIR, 1863

Stefan and Valerie are walking through the fair together as they get to know one another. “I have a brother who's away at war, a father who judges me for not joining him, and a mother who was strong and kind. She died when I was ten.”

“I'm so sorry.”

“Ah, it was a long time ago.” Stefan shrugs.

“There's no shame in missing her. A man on the outside with the heart of a boy? There are worse things,” Valerie says as they pause for a moment, as they see Julian heading towards them, obviously displeased. “Your chaperon is... quite persistent.” Stefan looks at Valerie, who turns and smiles at him. “Then we shall elude him. Come.” She grabs Stefan’s arm and leads them closer to Julian. “What are you doing?” Stefan asks as Valerie grabs her necklace and siphons the magic inside as she casts a cloaking spell over them.

“Invisique.” She chants underneath her breath, causing them both to vanish from Julian's view, forcing him to continue walking, thinking that he simply lost sight of them. Stefan looks at her in amazement as they continue to walk away. “How did he not see us?”

Valerie smiles. “Would you believe me if I said magic?” She leads him toward the woods, and Stefan laughs happily.

END FLASHBACK

Y/N looks at Valerie, expectantly. “And then…?”

“None of your business” Valerie smiles at him.

Y/N rolled his eyes again. “You come barging in here demanding why I have Stefan’s journal, and then tell me about your past with my boyfriend and say it’s not my business? It is my business.”

“Are you really that threatened by me, Y/N?” Valerie asked. “Scared Stefan’s going to leave you for someone better?”

“Please, you’re not even in the same league with Katherine Pierce, so don’t you even think for a moment that I’m sweating you,” Y/N told her as he looked her straight in the eyes. “I know why you put that burning spell on me. Which I totally reversed by the way. It's not so Mary Louise and Nora couldn't touch me. It's so Stefan wouldn't. Be more obvious.” She wanted to get inside Y/N’s head. Put a rift between him and Stefan, but it wasn’t going to work.

“Well, since you're so curious... Please, allow me to continue.”

FLASHBACK—MYSTIC FALLS WOODS, 1863

Night has fallen, and Valerie is leading a nervous-looking Stefan into the woods. “Julian is going to kill me.”

Valerie smiles. “Just compliment the whiteness of his teeth. He'll forget all about it.”

They find an abandoned cart with a lit lantern on it, and Valerie sits on it, smiling at Stefan flirtatiously. Stefan smiles back at her before kissing her gently, and the two make out for a long moment until Stefan breaks away, looking mildly embarrassed. Valerie looks at him with concern. “Is something wrong?”

Stefan looks at her, bashfully. “No, no. It's just that I've never…” He trails off, and Valerie realizes that he's a virgin. She smiles sweetly at him, and Stefan hesitates for a moment before gesturing to the front of her dress. “Do you mind if I...?” Valerie nods as Stefan nervously fiddles starts to unbutton the bodice of her dress before the two begin to make out more passionately this time. Valerie shrugs off her jacket before turning away from him so Stefan can unlace her corset. Once he's finished, he moves closer behind her and kisses her neck, and Valerie holds tightly to the cart to support herself as they slowly make love.

END FLASHBACK

Y/N looks stunned and a little upset after learning the details of their affair, but Valerie's expression is smug as she turns to look at him. “It was his first time. I'm sure you've been someone's first, so you know what it's like to have a completely unforgettable place in someone else's mind.”

“I completely agree. First times are very special.” Y/N leans forward with a smug look of his own. “You may have been Stefan’s first, but I’ll let you in on a little secret. Stefan was my first time, right here in this very room and I’m sure on that chair you’re sitting on as well. Valerie frowns at that, obviously not expecting that reaction from Y/N.

….

Lillian is driving down one of the country roads of Mystic Falls in her car while Stefan sits in the passenger seat. Lillian looks over at Stefan curiously, but he quickly admonishes her. “No, no, no! Keep the car on this side of the road.” Stefan sighed with relief as she straightened back to her side of the road.

“Valerie never told me about your romance…”

“Well, Valerie never told me that you were alive.”

“Would it have mattered?” Lillian asks him. Stefan looks at her, offended. “Is that a real question?”

“She told me that you'd forgotten all about me. She said you had moved on. That... That was the only way I was able to move on, as well.”

“My mother was practically ripped out of my arms and sent to a TB ward. You don't move on from that. You find distractions.”

FLASHBACK-- MYSTIC FALLS WOODS, 1863

Stefan and Valerie kiss each other and smile after their tryst in the cart. Once they're redressed, Stefan leads her farther into the woods. “Come with me. I want to show you something.” He takes her hand, and they continue walking until they reach a grave in the cemetery. Valerie chuckled nervously. “Heh, this is romantic.” Stefan smiles at her.

“This is my mother's grave,” he says, as Valerie freezes when she realizes what Stefan is doing, and a flash of guilt crosses her face as Stefan kneels in front of the grave.

“I come here every day to replace the flowers. She's been dead for six years, but I'm still trying to make up for my failure.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Stefan looked at Valerie. “She had consumption. One day, her coughing would not stop. My father sent me to go buy some flowers to make an herbal tonic. I ran to town as fast as I could, but by the time I got home with the flowers, she had been taken to the sanatorium.”

“You never got to say goodbye…” Valerie says.

Stefan looks down guilty as he sighs. “She died in the TB ward shortly after.” Valerie knees next to Stefan as he continues in a shaky voice. “I always wonder what would have happened if I had just been able to run a little faster. The tonic would have helped her. She could have lived.”

Valerie glances at the flowers on Lillian's grave. “Were these the kind of flowers you were sent for?”

“Yes. Cream…”

“Cream violets. That tonic would not have saved her.”

Stefan looks stunned. “That's... That's very kind of you, but you cannot be certain.”

“But I am. I worked in a sanatorium, caring for patients who were just like your mother. Cream violets have no medicinal properties. It's an old wives' tale,” Valerie said. She gently brushes a lock of hair off of his forehead. “Your father sent you on a fool's errand. You were only ten. He... probably wanted you out of the house to make it easier on himself.”

Stefan seems overwhelmed by this revelation. “No matter what, you couldn't have saved your mother. Her death is not your fault.” She caresses his cheek with her hand, and he reaches up to squeeze it gently. It looks as though he's about to kiss her again when a male voice calls out from behind them. It's Julian, who looks extremely unhappy.

“Time to say goodbye,” Julian says, as Valerie and Stefan quickly stand to their feet and turn toward him. “I expected you would visit here sooner or later.”

“Sir, if you would just let me explain…”

“We are leaving for New York now.”

“I didn't mean to disobey you—”

“It was not me who you disobeyed. Come with me now, and we will speak no more of it. The carriage awaits.” Julian turns and leaves to head for the carriage, and Stefan, looking sad, turns to Valerie. “When will I see you again?”

“I will find my way back to you. I promise.” She leaves with Julian.

PRESENT DAY-- SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE

“So, it was kind of like The Notebook, except you two never reconnect, and he totally forgot about you. I like this story,” Y/N snidely says.

Valerie glares at Y/N. “Julian was in a hurry to get back to Europe. He convinced me to lie to Lily, to tell her that Stefan was happy. Believe me, Julian had a way of convincing anyone to do anything.”

….

On the Back roads of Mystic Falls, Stefan is still giving Lily a driving lesson on the outskirts of town as they continue to talk. Lily looks over at him, but when he catches her, he points at the windshield. “No, no. Keep your eyes on the road. Make a left here. It'll take us back into town.”

“Is there anything else you'd like to know?”

“No. I mean, it doesn't matter— obviously, it was all a lie, right?”

“What do you mean?” Lillian asks him.

“Well, Valerie was using me,” Stefan said.

“No. No, Valerie wouldn't have hurt you, because that would have inadvertently hurt me as well.”

“Hmm. did it ever occur to you that maybe Valerie doesn't give a crap about you, or anyone else?”

“I don't believe that,” Lillian protests.

“No? How about the part where she sent me a telegram saying she was coming back?” Stefan said.

“She what?” Lillian looks shocked.

Stefan looks out the window as he remembers what happened so long ago. “She'd been gone a few months…” In a flashback , Stefan sits in a room at the Salvatore Estate and reads a telegram he received from Valerie with a smile. She narrates the letter in voiceover. “I promised I would find my way back to you. I long to be in your arms again.” The scene cuts to the present day with Y/N and Valerie as she talks.

“She said she wanted to run away with me. Her telegram said to meet her Friday at noon. Heh, I showed up two hours early,” Stefan said.

Stefan, had been dressed in a nice suit, yellow sunflowers in his hands, waiting for Valerie.

“He waited and waited for me. With every passing footstep, he would turn, expecting to see me,” Valerie said. Stefan,hearing someone approaching, turns and sighs when he realizes it's just an older couple walking through town. They nod at him politely, but he still looks disappointed.

“I sat around all day like an idiot—past sundown, after nightfall—but she never showed up. So, yeah, I guess you could say I'm wondering what the hell the whole point was.” Stefan says.

“Surely, you’re not still angry with her?” Lillian asks as Stefan looks at her for a moment before turning and looking out the window. “It was a 150 years ago.”

Back at the Boarding House Valerie continues her side of the story. “Eventually, he accepted that he'd been abandoned all over again, and then he walked home under the cold and distant stars.” Valerie slams the journal on the table.

Y/N touches the journal gently. “How could you do that to him,” Y/N asked her. “How could you break his heart like that?” Valerie glares at Y/N, close to tears as she coldly says. “There was a change of plan. I'm done talking to you about this.” She turns to leave him. She stops in the doorway. Stefan never knew the truth. How she had been pregnant with his child. How Julian had beat her and made her lose the baby, and how she became a Heretic. The world’s first Heretic.

“Valerie?” Y/N asks. The blonde Heretic turns to him, an annoyed look on her delicate features. “What do you want?”

“I don’t really know what you hoped to gain by telling me that story of you and Stefan. And truth be told, I don’t really care.” Y/N stands up. “But if you take one step backward, one slip up, give me one reason to think you might hurt Stefan, and I will vanquish you. Understand?”

Valerie said nothing as she looked at Y/N with such intense hate. She hated him and he hated her. That much was evident. She turned and walked out of the room.

Later on, Lillian returns to the house and visits Y/N upstairs. “Is Valerie here?”

“I heard her leave the house. I guess spilling her guts makes her hungry.”

“She told you about that? I understand it must be awkward to hear something like that.”

“Yeah, I just spent the day reliving Stefan's first time. I really don't feel like talking about this with his mother, who is also my hostage taker, but thanks,” Y/N tells her.

“I was simply curious about one's ability to stay calm in a situation like this,” Lillian said.

“Well, you must have had a special someone as well, so you know what it's like to love them with your whole heart.”

“Of course I did.”

“Then you know that that love is different from any other kind of love,” Y/N tells her. “Did you know Stefan wrote about you all the time? You can read for yourself. Here.” He hands her the journal, as she hesitantly takes it from him. “He loved you. He missed you.” Lillian smiled happily at what Stefan wrote about her.

She turns away from Y/N and calls out loud to the next room. “Nora, remove the barrier spell, please. As of this moment, Mr. Gilbert is no longer a prisoner.”

“Actually, I broke the barrier spell hours ago,” Y/N tells her.

“Then, why didn’t you leave?”

“Because I wanted you to come to your senses. See that you were making a mistake, Y/N said.

“Thank you. You’re free to go,” Lillian said.

“You’re just letting me go?”

“It’s a reward for Stefan’s honesty. Go, before I change my mind.”

Y/N walks to the doorway, stops, and turns to look at Lillian. “I don’t know what made your heart grow four sizes today, but thanks.” Y/N speeds out of the room.

….

At the Mystic Grill, Stefan is drinking a glass of bourbon in front of the fire when Y/N walks into the room, looking exhausted ,but relieved to be free. Stefan stands to his feet. “Y/N!” He reaches for his boyfriend’s hand, and to his amazement, it doesn’t burn him like it had yesterday. Stefan looks at Y/N. “How…?”

“I broke the spell.”

“How did you escape?”

“I didn't. Lillian let me go,” Y/N said.

Stefan frowns in shock. “She did?”

“Yeah... I guess today is just full of Valerie-sized surprises, huh?” Y/N walked past Stefan and sat down on a nearby step, and looked at him, a teasing smirk on his face. Stefan looks at him sheepishly and chuckles. “Heh... Look, I was just a kid when I met her. Just a troubled boy mourning his dead mom. I was young and human.”

“I was young and human when you and I met, and I remember the exact moment when I first saw you. I saw your hot back,” Y/N chuckled.

Stefan smiled as well. “We met outside the men’s bathroom. You and Elena were going off on Jeremy for using drugs that he didn’t have on him.”

“Yeah, things were simpler back then.” Y/N looked down, then back at Stefan, who took a seat next to Y/N. “As crazy as it sounds. I’m glad you met Valerie, Fangs.”

“You are?” Stefan had a shocked look on his face.

“Well, I’m not exactly happy about hearing how you screwed her against a wagon of hay.” Y/N smirked at Stefan’s blushing face. It was adorable. “And I’m not happy that she’s still in love with you and she might try to take you away from me, but I’m glad that she let you feel something other than sadness. Because it’s what you did for me.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Before I met you, I was this ocean of sadness pretending to be strong, even though on the inside I was broken. Then you came into my life, Stefan, and you put me back together again. You taught me how to love and hope again, and I will always be grateful to you for that. So, I guess I can say thank you to Valerie for putting you back together again too.”

“Well, I’m glad to have you in my life as well. The love I have for you is unlike anything that I’ve ever expressed before. You bring out an epic kind of love in me, Y/N,” Stefan said.

“Valerie's out of the prison world. Does that change things for you?”

“Of course not.”

“You don't wonder what would have happened if Valerie would have shown up to meet you?” Y/N asked him. “Would you even be here right now, next to me?”

“I don't wonder anymore. I don't care about the past. All I care about is that you're here, and you're safe. You're with me.” Stefan leans close to Y/N as the young hybrid does the same and the two share a passionate kiss close to the fire. The kiss starts to get more intense as Stefan gently pushes Y/N onto the hardwood floor, straddling the hips of his younger lover.

Stefan pulls back as Y/N smiles up at him. “Wow, not bad for a guy who’s first time was in the woods.”

Stefan smiled back, mischievously as he began to take off his shirt. His muscled tone body on full display for Y/N to ogle. “Well, I've gotten a lot better since then, care to find out?”

Y/N smiled as Stefan leaned down and kissed him once again, the older vampire began to remove his pants. That night, Y/N and Stefan stroked the fires of their love for each other.
