Tvd/svu crossover fanfiction
a/n: this is my new au ship - and here is a little story. I am borrowing Nick Amaro from Law&Order SUV
This is totally AU.
Premise: Nick Amaro left New York to go live in Mystic Falls, to be close to his daughter Zara.

At the Salvatore School, a surprise birthday party saw old friends reunite.
"This is the best birthday present," Elena said hugging Bonnie, "when did you get here?"
"Last night. Caroline literally smuggled me in." Bonnie recalled the events of her arrival.
"That is why you cancelled on me last night?!" Elena turned to Caroline.
"We can have a much better movie night now that Bonnie is back." Caroline raised an eyebrow chuckling a bit,"now the cake. You can have your other presents later."
As they all had a cake and Elena unpacked her presents, the party dispersed, leaving Elena with Bonnie in the garden.
"Thanks so much for coming. I hope you are going to stay a while." Elena said taking a bit of the cake.
"I am. Sidney is coming down from New York this weekend. He wants to meet you guys."
"Omg - this like really serious?!"
"It is." Bonnie said, "he asked me to marry him. I got bigger news. I am pregnant."
Flashback
London A week earlier
Tumblr media
  "Ahhh, that's great. I am so happy for you."
"Caroline heard the baby beat, the vampire her. So I told her last night."
"Hey, it's fine. We are not in competition."
"I want you guys to be my maids of honour and the baby's Godmothers." Bonnie said.
"Oh, Bon - thank you. Ah, this so made my day. I am so happy for you."
"I am really happy. I thought I would never fall in love again," Bonnie smiled, adding, "I wish you and Caroline get to be happy again, too."
"I got the practise, and Caroline's got the School." Elena sighed a little.
"I bet days like these make you miss Damon."
"I miss him. But I am good. I've been on a date." Elena said.
"Really? Omg- who with?" Bonnie got curious.
"A friend of Alaric's. A history professor from Whitmore. Joe. But it was a total didaster."
"Oh - you're not ready or? He was just not - crazy enough?!"
"I am so ready, but - there was no spark - nothing. He is ok, but - yeah"
"Spark - so important!" Bonnie emphasized,and now turned to the subject of a certain detective that Caroline had mentioned Elena was swooning about, but was not going to admit it.
"It's like totally weird. And then it kinda isn't." Elena said, her thoughts swaying to Nick.
"What's up?" Bonnie asked, seeing Elena go suddenly quiet.
"Nothing. Feel a bit tired. I had an emergency call at 6 a.m this morning and I've been working all day." Elena fibbed a little, though she did feel a tad bit exhausted.
"Tomorrow, movie night- I am so up for it. The three of us together again." Bonnie said.
"Oh, yeah. My house. We are so going all ‘High School’ retro time." Elena said standing up.
"I'll get the popcorn. God, I am so happy to be back." Bonnie stood up herself.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Elena hugged her friend warmly, before she went to find Caroline and thanked her for throwing her the party.

Sometimes later
"Yes, mom. I've got everything sorted." Nick said to his mother as he pulled in his drive way. 
"Right. I am getting things wrapped up here. I should be in Mystic Falls in a few days."
"All right. We can’t wait to see you." Nick said and as they exchanged byes, he got out of the car. 
Life changed dramatically for him. Never, in his wildest dreams did he think he would be living in a small town like Mystic Falls. It still felt like he went through the looking glass and entered another world.
Putting his phone away in his suit jacket he stood for a moment, looking at the house next door. It was a new house, belonging to Dr Gilbert Salvatore. Making a small gulp he  flashed back to the first time he had met Elena.
Flashback
Two months earlier
Salvatore School Charity Night
Tumblr media
There, she appeared through the door of the big room. And he could not take his eyes off her.
Seeing her pull in in the driveway, he got out, meeting her as she got her medical bag out, as well as a couple of bags of groceries, trying to balance them.
"Evening" Nick said, “Can I help?"
Elena, feeling suddenly flush nodded.
Taking the groceries, without a word, the detective followed the doppelganger into the house.
Nick stepped in, glancing at the decor that screamed modern rustic look.      
"The kitchen is through here." Elena gestured the direction.
"It's a beautiful house" Nick complemented the interior.
"Thank you," the brunette said putting her medical bag on the side chair,"but you are not here to - uhm- why are you here? I mean, if it is about Zara- she just had a light sprain. The wrist will be fine in a couple of weeks.”
“It’s not about Zara. Or the case. Can I say - Happy birthday."
"Oh, thank you. Right -”
"Right - yes - uhm - I’m sorry - you must think that I am a total jerk.” the detective made a mental sigh before he continued, his whole being strangely getting rigid. "I came here to apologize."
"What for?" Elena cut in.
"The way I was dismissive the other day - among other things."
"Yeah. All right. If that is it - no big." Elena shrugged it off.
"True. Still - since I will be living here - next door. I want things to be ok between us. Be a good neighbour. And Zara likes you - she told me she wanted to be a doctor."
"We're good. I told you - no big."
"Thank you." Nick nodded."I won’t not keep you any longer- good night"
"Good night" Elena said walking to the back door opening it for the detective  who stood still as he got out, turning to the brunette.
"What?"
"Yes- back there - the other day - behind the Grill - you pulled me away - you wanted to tell me something. But then Caroline Forbes came and you left. What is it that you wanted to tell me? It sounded like it was quite important”
“Well - I was - thinking to invite you to my birthday party.”
“Oh - right. And I fucked it up. Sorry”                  
Ever since her eyes locked with his, he knew his heart was already hers. Every time his saw her, coming to check on the last finishes on the house, meeting her, talking to her, he fell more for her smile, her laugh, her easy-going personality and everything else about her. He didn’t think he could fall for someone that made him feel like he was a teenager again, sheepishly staring at her, everything inside him stirred. Nick looked at Elena, losing himself in her deep chocolate eyes confirming now that she was not holding any grudges.
“You’re forgiven.” Elena said, her lips twitching cutely.
Nick curled up a little smile, nodding a little as in thank you, before turning away walking through the garden door to his house.
Elena walked inside her house, closing the back door, smiling like a cheshire cat. Putting her hands on her flushed cheeks to cool them down, she tried to calm her heart that was beating giddily.
“You’re like falling in love - and it’s great, Lena” it hummed. “It’s totally time to start over again.”

An Officer and A Gentleman/1
Tumblr media
Fanfiction 
Part 1
AU TVD/TO story 
Elijah Mikaelson x reader/Elena Gilbert
ft. Angel and Buffy
and other pairings 
a/n: this was inspired by this - when I watched Seals Team
Tumblr media
but then remembered Dg being in NCIS, and since I love old movies, got to watch Top Gun, which then inspired me some more to write this -and well- here is a crossover of sorts- also, since I am a gothic girl - as you know looove vampires and all that genre, I loved Angel and Buffyverse (Angel being my no1 vampire, till he got knocked down by Elijah Mikaelson. LOL), and David Boreanaz is starring in Seals Team, so I borrowed those two characters and put them in this story. 
Tumblr media
Well, I hope you like it. Thanks for all your support and likes and what can I say - you are great, guys!!! xoxo
P.S. I don’t know who these gifs belong to anymore, so credit to gifmakers. The one in the story is mine. Lol. 
and - doesn’t Dg look so dashing in uniform?! LOL

_______________________
Returning from the Special OP, friends and fellow Seals Special Operatives, Elijah Mikaelson and Angel S. Booth were summoned by their Commanding Officer.
"This must be about Yemen."- Angel said-"they didn't like our alternative method of rescue."
"Well, if it suspension, I am ok" - Elijah said-"I can do with a few days or a week of going down New Orleans." - Elijah said.
"To see your girl, ha?!" - Angel said-"What was her name?"
"Hayley" -Elijah said, continuing-"Talking of women, did you sort things out with Brennan?"
Angel sighed now, remembering the divorce papers he got as he landed back in the US.
"Divorce is still on. And I signed the papers and sent them off earlier. It's over. I have to face it."
"I am sorry, man" - Elijah said.
"It's ok. I have no energy anymore to wallow in it." - Angel said. He now wanted to add something, but they were called in the office.
"At ease, gentleman" - the Commander said-" Lieutenants, I will get straight tp the point. Due to your very imaginative rescue missions, of which we had a few, you were chosen  to be part of a Special Hybrid Unit and will be taking a special training course at US Navy Struke Fighter Tactics Instructor Program. Best known to us as Top Gun."
Angel and Elijah looked stunned at the commander.
"Only the best of the best go there. Continue to make us proud."
"When do we report, Sir?"
"You have three days off. You have to report Monday morning. 6:00 sharp. Dismissed, gentleman"
Angel and Elijah saluted and went out.
They were extremely surprised and they could not believe that they were called up for something so extraordinary.
"The best of the best?!" - Angel now said in disbelief sort of.
"Did you ever doubt that we are anything else, not that I am bragging, but we deserved it. Hard work, ingenuity paid off." - Elijah said-"and we got three days-whoooohooo."
"Which means that we will not see any free days for a very long time." - Angel said.
"So I will make sure I got three glorious days with my girl. Ahm - and - I know it's not really appropriate as you just signed your divorce papers, but will you be my best man?" - Elijah asked his friend.
"You proposed to her? When? You didn't tell me. "
"I haven't yet. I am going now to buy a ring and go down there and propose. Get a special licence, if not, then, we can get married the first free day I get. I want her with me."
"Right. I will be your best man." - Angel said.
And so, the men got the first plane out to New Orleans.
And down in New Orleans, Elijah got the same blow as Angel. Well, sort of the same.
Coming down to Hayley's house, he found a man opening the door. And when Elijah asked if he could speak to Hayley, the man said-
"What is it about? My wife is not at home. Can I help you? "
"Your wife?" - Elijah was gobsmacked.
"Yes, my wife. Hayley Marshall-Kenner. I am Jackson Kenner, her husband."
"Come on, man" - Angel, who stood next to Elijah now put his hand on his friend's shoulder and said-"Let's go."
"Yeah. Ahm- nothing-Sorry, I bothered you." - Elijah said feeling like someone punched him really hard in the gut.
Angel now kind of nudged again to his friend to leave and they both got in the car. Angel sat in the driver's seat as Elijah was completely lost.
"Keys!" - Angel said.
Elijah got the keys out of his picket, still kind of numb, like he was not able to process what just had happened.
"Bourbon Street?" - Angel suggested.
Elijah just nodded looking straight, trying to make his heart not explode from pain. After a night of a lot of Bourbon to totally numb the heartache and let out steam, both men flew to their new station to San Diego, a two days before planned.
Getting out of the plane, Angel asked Elijah-
"Ready for new adventure? New life? Letting go of the past?!"
"So fucking ready."- Elijah said.
As they still didn't have to report for duty, and having settled in their new abode, they went to have two more days of fun.
Elijah and Angel had no problem making friends or making the party going on, and ending up at a bar, they quickly got the crowd going.
Trying hard to get on and quick the heartbreak, goofying around a bit with the karaoke, Elijah took the microphone and Angel always knew which song to find.
As the song started, Elijah got ready, and getting into the song, seeing a woman at the bar turn catching his eye he now went to her.
Angel rolled his eyes a bit, but he just let him go for it. 
Tumblr media
💖Listen baby, ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are No matter how far don't worry baby Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry You don't have to worry 'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free I told you you could always count on me girl From that day on, I made a vow I'll be there when you want me                
Y/N/E  laughed, feeling embarrased but flattered in a way. Elijah continued, fully in the role.
Some way, some how 'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you babe Oh no darling
No wind, no rain Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby 'Cause you are my goal If you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive Way down in my heart Although we are miles apart If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double Just as fast as I can Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you babe
As Elijah finished and everyone in the bar clapped, Y/N/E said-
"Well, you picked a good one. It’s actually one of my favs.”
"Ahh, can't take credit for this one. Angel picks them."- Elijah now showed to his friend who was talking to a woman.
"Angel? Interesting name.”- Y/N/E said.
"I am Maverick." - Elijah said.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Nah, well, it's my cool name. I am Elijah."
"Two guys with two cool names. Pilots, right?"
"No. Seals, actually. Can I buy you a drink."
"Maybe some other time." - Y/N/E said as a man now approached them.
"Ready?" - the man said.
"Yeah" - Y/N/E replied, turning to Elijah saying-"See you around, ‘Maverick -Elijah'
“Hey and your name?”
“Y/N/E”
The brunette/blonde then went with the guy, and Elijah looked after them. As Angel joined him, he said -
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're lost your heart already."
"Nah. No more falling in love."- Elijah said.
"Right. Just casual stuff then? Well, it looks like she has a boyfriend."
"Yeah" - Elijah said, his heart flattering unusually at the thought of Y/N/E.
"Who did you talk to? '
" It' s Commander Salvatore's wife. We are invited to a barbecue thing tomorrow night at his house. "
"Ok. Game of darts?" - Elijah sugfested.
"Yeah, go on."
"What's up, you're a bit weird" - Elijah said as the got a couple of beers and went to the darts board area.
"I just found out that the tactics instructor is Buffy Summers." - Angel said.
"You're kidding me? Your Buffy? Buffy, the one you broke up with when you went to Washington?
" The one. "- Angel replied.
" Oh, man. So much about new life, new leaf. "- Elijah said.
Angel sighed and took a swag of beer.
The past seemed to came rolling back in at least when he was concerned.
In the car, Y/NE thought of the Seals Officer she had just met.
"Who was that?" - Damon asked.
"The new Seals guys."- Y/N/E answered.
"Ok. So, shall we go and eat something before we go to the cemetery?"
"Yeah, sure." - Y/N/E said-"Also need to get flowers for it. I can't  believe it's been two years since his death."
"Yeah" - Damon said. 
Not longer after Y/N/E and Damon put the flowers down on the grave of Stefan Salvatore.
"Hey you" - Y/N/E said placing a kiss on the name-"crazy to say it- but happy birthday. Miss you still so much."
Damon sighed a little. His brother was gone two years and a month now, and it seemed like it was yesterday, and at times it felt like it was eternity.
Arranging the flowers a bit, Y/N/E now flashed back
Two years previously
Damon knocked a little at the door frame of Y/N/E and Stefan's bedroom of the Salvatore house, before he entered.
"Hey" - Damon said.
Y/N/E was going through her clothes in obvious total distress.
"I don't have anything to wear for the funeral. Nothing black - damn -" she now burst out crying and turning to Damon continued- "I was supposed to be wearing a wedding dress. We were supposed to get married in August.                 
Damon stood there feeling her sister-in-law to be, sharing her pain.
"I know. He was so -"
"How will I go on? I can't - I just - don't want to - hate the army- hate everything- I want him back, Damon. Please, bring him back-"
"Oh, Y/N/E -" 
Tumblr media
                 "Bye" - Y/N/E slipped as she placed a kiss with her hand on the stone.
Damon and her now walked back to the car.
"So, how does it feel to be back, in general?"
"Kind of weird. It's like I've been gone a hundred years. Ok. Can we talk about you and Kai and how did it happen?"
"It's a long story."- Damon said.
"I want to hear it. Everything. Especially about the rain kiss! "- Y/N/E said.
"Caroline told you!"
"Yep! Come on. I want to hear everything."
Damon now told her some, but this was Caroline's version as she saw Damon  finally his feelings to Kai. 
Tumblr media
                 "I am so happy for you, Damon."- Y/N/E said-"Kai is a great guy. How did you dad take it?"
"He didn't. There is no change. The idea that I am with a man still repulses him. He wished I was dead and not Stefan. "- Damon said.
"Oh, Damon. I am sorry. That means that Lily is still between the hard and the rock place?!" - Y/N/E remarked.
"Yep."- Damon said-"I am happy, but she is not and I hate that she has to juggle between us. She left him for a while, but then she got back when he ended up in hospital with the heart scare."
"I wish things got better." - Y/N/E said.
"Anyway, you are kind of a big shot now if Pentagon sent you to do this new program" - Damon said.
"I am not. I am just an instructor really."- Y/NE said.
"Just an instructor? This is Top Gun! Only the best are here."
"The program is unique and kind of experimental. I hope it works."
"Did you see the F-18?"
"I helped construct it Damon! Of course I've seen it. Working on a better improved version. " - Y/N/E said.
"Like I said, you are a real big shot."- Damon said.
His phone rang and seeing it was Kai, he swiped the call answering-
"Hey, babe, where are you?"
"I got pizza. When are you home?" - Kai asked.
"Heading home. Y/N/E is with me. I kinda invited her to eat with us. Say hi" - Damon now put the loudspeaker on.
Kai and Y/N/E now exchanged heys.
Soon, as they got to Damon's apartment, Kai gave Y/N/E a warm hug hello.
"It's good to have you back." - Kai said to the brunette.
"I am glad to be back. Seeing you two together, really makes it worth being back. Love conquers all." - Y/N/E’s eyes watered a bit-"ok, I won't be sad."
"You are allowed. We miss him, too."- Kai said.
"Yeah - ok-" - Damon said-"let's toast to Stefan and love. May Y/N/E find love again."- Damon said.
"Oh, Damon please." - Y/N/E said taking the glass of Tequila he had poured.
"Stefan would wanted you to find love again."- Kai said taking a glass of the drink from his boyfriend.
"I know, but - I just - can't think about that-got a new plane to think about"
Kai didn't quite understand.
"Y/N/E is working on a new Fighter plane." - Damon explained.
"Wow!" - Kai said.
"Told you. She is not jus a pretty face." - Damon said.
"Enough you guys. Ok. To Stefan."- Y/N/E raised her glass and so did Kai and Damon. 🚫
Elsewhere, 
Elijah and Angel had dinner at a small diner. And later headed back to the dorms. Both went to their respective rooms, both still very much in thoughts about the past.
Elijah trying to get the grips of how Hayley just went and got married. He now thought of the last time he was with her before he was deployed to the Middle East. And no matter how much he tried to find answers, nothing made sense. Did she ever loved him? He asked himself now. But like Angel had said - can't wallow in it, she obviously chose another guy, and married him- Elijah closed his eyes and his mind wondered to the woman he had sort of sang to.
"Y/N/E" - he slipped and smiled a little.
💕In the room next door, Angel revisited his heart. Eversince he heard that Buffy Summers, his first love was onw of the instructors of the program, he could not stop thinking about her, taking him back ten years previously, when he came to her the night before leaving to Washington to join the FBI. But the break up was not as simple as he had told Elijah. He had not told him that he had gone to Buffy's wedding to tell her that he had made a huge mistake to have let her go.
🚫 At the same time, Buffy Summers now entered the house she has rented.
Putting her bag on the chair, she went straight in the kitchen and got a bottle of red wine out and poured herself a glass. Earlier at a briefing, she has found out that Angel Seeley Booth was chosen for the program.
She thought she didn't care anymore. She thought that it would not stir her, but driving back home, strangely the smallest of butterflies bubbled up.
Buffy slumped down on the sofa, and flashed back to the past.                        
🚫
Monday morning came and all respective parties were in the classroom. The Seargent now introduced two instructors -
"Now you will also be trained and evaluated by a few civial specialist as well as military instructors. One of them is our tech rep, code name Sunny. She has PhD in astrophysics, aerospace engineering.  She is a civilian contractor and you don't need to salute her, but you better listen to her, because the Pentangon does. And if you don't pass her evaluation, you can lose your post. Sunny, was one of the constructors of the hybrid F-18. She will tell you all about the fighter plane. Sunny, it's all yours."
Y/N/E now came in from the side room, and Elijah looked at the brunette like he had just entered a strange kind of dream world.
Y/N/E greeted everyone present now immediately going into the presentation mode. She was serious, eloquent, and it was very clear to everyone that she knew what she was talking about.
Finishing the lecture for the day, on her way out, Elijah followed her and catching up with her said-
"You could have given me a fair warning."
"About what, Lieutenant Mikaelson?" - Y/N/E said raising an eyebrow.
"You could have told me that you are - who you are"
"You didn't give me much time."- Y/N/E said-"But if you can fly as good as you can sing, I just might give you a good evaluation."
"Oh, I can fly. I flew Mig 40. out of Afghanistan."-Elijah now said.
"That was you?" - Y/N/E was now surprised to hear it.
"Yep. That was me."- Elijah confirmed.
"Really? This is not one of those things to splash your charm out again?"
"No. But, all the info is classified." - Elijah said.
"You are kidding me, right?" - Y/N/E now showed Elijah one of the badges that showed him that she had access to all classified information-"I read all about the intel on it. But - I have questions about it."
"Ok. I can tell you about it first hand, but - if you agree to -  coffee?"
"I knew this was one of those things."
"One of what things? It's just a harmless invitaton to have a cup of coffee." - Elijah said.
"Harmless?" - Y/N/E said with a smirk saying yeah, right.
"Completely." - Elijah replied with a charming smile.
Y/N/E's phone now rang and she said this to Elijah before picking up -
"I will get back to you, Lt."
She answered the call and walked away.
Elijah smiled dreamily looking at her until she got into her 1963 Porsche, and drove off. 
Oh, man, what did he do to deserve this. Why did she have to be his instructor. This is going to be so complicated, his heart murmured.

💖💖💖
Mikaelson house, the next morning
"Good morning"- Mary said to Hope, Elijah and Camille, who walked in the kitchen. With a good morning back at Mary they sat down at the huge breakfast table.
"Klaus?"- Mary asked.
"I think he came late last night"- Elijah replied.
"Right. He won't be up before lunch?!"- Mary stated-"I will drive you to school then"
"It's not necessary Mary"- Elijah said-"I will take her. I have some meetings in town"
"All right"- Mary replied-"Shall I do dinner as per usual?"
"Yes"- Elijah replied.
And after breakfast, they left, but not before Elijah told Mary that he will talk to her about what had happened the night before and what Elena was doing there.
💖
In a hotel on Bourbon St
Y/N woke up with a massive headache. She looked at her phone seeing loads of different messages from her friend and one from her parents, who tried to get in touch, telling her that they will be calling her later in the day.
She put the phone down and went to have a shower and get dressed. All the time she had one thing on her mind, and it was the letter- she had read several times over after she got back to he hotel. 
"Dear Ms Mikaelson, 
I am writing to you, because I - had to leave. I didn't want you to get in trouble because of me. There is also one more thing why I decided to leave just like this. I am pregnant. And I need to make sure my baby is all right. Johnny is too involved with the cartel and I- just had enough of everything. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. I have already found a family that will adopt the baby. She deserves to have a better life. I just can't do it. I will then go north or maybe Europe. If it is a girl I will name her Y/N, and if it is a boy- I don't know. But something tells me it is a girl. Thanks again for everything you have done for me. I hope you understand why I am doing this.
Isobel"
And then the second letter, from Dahlia Mikaelson to Y/N.
"Dear Y/N,
even though we had never met, and you may find my decision to leave you a share of the houses rather strange, I  assure you that this decision was one of the easiest I have ever had to make. Namely, you are part of this family as much as Elijah, Klaus and his daughter Hope are. If it wasn't for you grandmother, I would not be here today writing this letter. After a faithful car accident, where my sister died, leaving two boys behind, I was fortunate enough to get a kidney and heart transplant. It took me a long time to find out who it was from, as I wanted to meet and thank the family in person. After a while I had found a sixteen year old girl, very troubled and tried as much as I could to get her on her feet. Unfortunately, it had not worked out as I had hoped. Upon receiving the letter, I had tried to find Isobel, your mother, but all trails always got cold. Then years after I have found you, living happily in Mystic Falls, with a wonderful family, having a good life. That gave me some peace of mind. I sincerely hope that you will have a great and happy life. 
Please find  a letter of your birth mother enclosed 
Faithfully,
Dahlia Mikaelson"
Y/N put the letter away in her bag now sighing. Her whole life seemed to have turned upside. down in just one evening. Her phone buzzed and she looked at the message from her friend
"How are you?"
She quickly answered her friend Bonnie-
"Ok. Not really. Can we talk later. I have to think about what I am going to do."- as she sent the message her phone rang. She answered it.
"This is Elijah - Mikaelson."- he said-"I am- calling to see if you can meet me- for lunch?"
"Lunch?"- Y/N said surprised as she was not expecting to hear from him.
"Yes. Whenever it is convenient."- 
"Where? When?"- Y/N asked.
Elijah gave her the name of the restaurant and she said she would be there. Putting the phone down she now flashed back at the night before and Klaus driving her to the hotel. 
Flashback
"Trust me- we are shocked as much as you are  about the Will and especially our aunt including you in it. But, I can also tell you that it is actually not surprising at all. Aunt Dahlia was a very mysterious woman. Whatever she wrote in that letter, I would not take it personally."
"Thank you. I-"- Y/N thought of telling him that it was very personal, but then changed her mind and bid him good night getting out of the car. 
"I' ll see you around"- Klaus smirked charmingly at her. She waved a little at him before she entered the hotel. 
It was clear from the moment she had met the Mikaelson brothers that Klaus was all charm open and forward and Elijah, serious, introvert, but yet had a certain warmth and kindness underneath the facade of cool sensibility. She still could not read what they really felt about her being included in the inheritance. It seemed like Klaus didn't really care. And Elijah didn't seem to be pleased at all about it. But now she could not think about them. Her emotions were all over the place and since  she had a couple of hours before the lunch, she went walking around needing to think and clear her head. Simply to process it all. And being Y/N, somewhat at times impulsive in nature, she now got a taxi and went to the Plantation House. □□□□
In town, Elijah revised different offers he got for both properties.
"You will not get better offers. Unfortunately they all know about your -"- Camille said.
"Say it. About the Mikaelson demise!"- Elijah said with a mix of pain and anger in his voice.
"I am sorry"- Camille said.
"I know."- Elijah sighed-"it's just - now we have her - the Y/N woman to pay out, and when we pay our creditors, there is not going to be much left. And it's not the money and us having to start over. We are scrapping away the Mikaelson history. All our family had accomplished."
He now got up shoving the papers in his backpack.
"I have to go and meet her, but before that I need to speak to Klaus."
"Sure"- Camille said-"see you later"
"Yes."- Elijah said and left the lawyer's office.
💖 At the Plantation
Y/N walked towards the house looking at it like she walked in times long gone by. 
Tumblr media
                 And as she sat down on the porch, she felt strangely at ease. She felt like all suddenly magically came into place. And she sat there soaking in the marvel of the place. 
______
In the Mikaelson house, in town, Klaus woke up as his phone rang.
"Elijah?"- Klaus muttered rubbing his eyes.
"Listen, I will meet Y/N, and make her an offer. I think that you should be here too."
"Don't tell me you finally accepted to marry Camille and her uncle is putting money to it."- Klaus said.
"What are you talking about? What marriage?"- Elijah was agitated.
"Seriously, what other money is there?"
"I am thinking of accepting the De Martel's offer."- Elijah said.
"WHAT? You are not serious, are you?"- Klaus now jumped out of the bed.
Elijah was quiet on the other side of the phone. He hated the idea of selling to their arch enemies, same as Klaus.
Klaus now continued- "I would rather set it on fire than see them revel in it"
"Ok. Then- well, I will propose to Camille- I guess- anyway, I have to go meet Y/N."- Elijah then said.
"I know you are not crazy in love with her, but hey- she is - ok."- Klaus didn't know what to say to make it easier for his brother to take the plunge and save the family.
With a little bye, they both put the phones down, leaving Elijah deep in thought. Marrying Camille would solve their money troubles, that was true.
Flashback
Some time ago
"I will put the money in"- Kieran O'Connor said to Elijah-"but I have one condition- you marry Camille and you pass half of the ownership on her"
"Will you order?"- a waitress came to Elijah now  bringing him back to reality.
"Ahm- just a moment"- Elijah said now looking at the clock, wondering where Y/N was. It was twenty minutes passed the time they agreed to meet. He now gave her a call.
As Y/N picked up and heard him, she snapped out of her own daydream apologizing -
"I am sorry. I came out here to the Plantation house and completely lost track of time. Can we meet later?"
"Well- ahm- no, stay there. I will come out."- Elijah said.
"All right. I am really sorry"
"It's fine. I will be there in 30 minutes."- Elijah said and went straight to the Plantation house.
He found Y/N inside the house wondering around.
"Hey there"- he said as the ground keeper met him.
"I found her sitting on the porch. She explained who she was so I let her in."- Jackson said.
"It is perfectly fine"- Elijah said.
Having heard them talk, Y/N got down to the hall.
"I wanted to see it"- Y/N said.
"It is fine."- Elijah said.
"It's just amazing. It must have been great growing up here"
"It was."- Elijah said shortly.
Y/N could see sadness sparkle out in his eyes. 
"You love this place, don't you?"
"I do. Anyway, can we talk about - my aunt leaving you a share for whatever reason. We would like to make you an offer for your part."- Elijah quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah?"- Y/N said not entirely surprised at his attitude, but she was swift in her answer-
"I don't want to sell my share."
"Excuse me?"- Elijah was surprised at her confident answer.
"I came out here- and - it felt like - this probably will sound mad to you, but - it felt like I came home. Something here felt so right."- Y/N said.
"Please, this is not some sentimental game."
"I am very well aware of that."- said-"I may look like my head is in the clouds, but I am firmly on the ground. I know I am nothing to you, but HUH- well - where is my bag?"- she now went out to look for it.
Elijah looked after her amazed at her spirit - like she was on fire. 
A minute later she was back in with his aunt's letter handing it to him.
Elijah looked at Y/N with surprise.
“Please, read it. You will understand why I don’t want to sell it.”
Elijah now took the letter and read it.
________
A couple of hours later, back in New Orleans, at the Mikaelson house
Elijah retold Klaus what had happened at the meeting with Y/N, and their aunt's letter.
"Wow. That is why she was always going away to health spas costing a fortune."- Klaus said-"anyway, what happens next?"
"She wants to stay here for a while. And I can't say no."- Elijah replied.
"So, she is moving in? Right. You told her about our money problems?"
"Some of it. I didn't tell her - everything. Maybe she will get bored and- well, I am considering the marriage proposal to Camille."- Elijah said.
"You are serious?"- Klaus was surprised as he knew that Elijah was not super keen on the idea.
"Yes, I am. But, I have not decided anything yet, so keep your mouth shut. Don't make any insinuations. Her uncle demands half of everything, you know that. Now with Y/N in the picture, we will have to negotiate, otherwise we are left with very little."
"Well, leave it up to me."- Klaus said confidently-"it is a shame she didn't fall for me. I would have married her in a flash."
"This is not a joke, Klaus!"
"I didn't mean to offend"- Klaus said.
"I hate that man. I just don't want him anywhere near. He would be commanding everything and move in the Plantation House."- Elijah said referring to Camille's uncle.
"I don't like him either"- Klaus said-"anyway, when are you going to Florida?"
"Tomorrow morning. I will think about everything. Now I have to call Sabine"- Elijah said.
"Fine. See you in a couple of days"- Klaus said exiting the study.
Elijah now made his call.
A little later, Mary came to Elijah to finally find out what was going on.
"Yes, Mary. Please sit down. I am sorry that you had to wait, but there have been some development"- Elijah now told her all about Y/N, who she was, about the inheritance and finally that she would be staying with them.
"I don't know for how long"- Elijah said-"she may go back to - Mystic Falls. I've got so much on my plate. We will see how things go. I can't tell you more at this moment, Mary. This has surprised us all."
"You will do the best as always, I don't doubt that."- Mary said-"And you needn't worry about - what was her name again."
"Y/N."- Elijah said.
"We will make her welcome."- Mary said getting up.
"Thank you so much, Mary."- Elijah sighed a little-"I don't know what I would do without you sometimes."
"You should now go and concentrate on getting young Marcel. One thing at the time."- the housekeeper said.
Elijah nodded.
The woman left and Elijah went to prepare for his final hearing for the court.
💖 A few days later Plantation house
In her room, Y/N was on the phone to her friend Bonnie. They had a long conversation about her being adopted and the inheritance, the Mikaelson brothers.
"Klaus is easy going. It's like he doesn't worry about anything. He is really sweet with his daughter. I like him."
"And the other one?"- Bonnie asked.
"Elijah?"- Y/N took a moment-"He is- I don't know what to tell you. There are moments when he is so dark, closed up and then you see like this goodness and warmth that comes bursting- but just for like seconds and then it's like he carries all the world on his shoulders."- Y/N explained.
"So how long will you stay?"- Bonnie said.
"I am going to stay- I don't know- a couple of weeks. Maybe more."
"What about your job with the newspapers and college?"- Bonnie asked.
"I took unpaid vacation. They asked me to write about New Orleans a bit from my pov. And I - well, the college job is out. I just- I need to - try and find out more about my family--mom- my real mom. There's so much happen at once. Nothing makes sense- I have all these emotions in me and- I need time - to process everything. But now tell me about you and Damon?"
"There - are developments"- Bonnie said-"we- slept together"
"What?? And you are telling me that now? How? When? Wow!"- Y/N said chirpily. She was happy for her friend.
"It just like- happened a couple of days ago. I am still processing" -Bonnie said.
"You two should come down here- for a weekend. It could be a special weekend away."- Y/N suggested.
"It's Stefan's birthday this weekend- Damon is throwing him a suprise party. But, I guess you won't be here?"- Bonnie said.
"Oh- I completely forgot."- Y/N was truthful.
"I can also tell Damon that you are not making a surprise appearance, right?"
Y/N sighed a little. She knew that both of her friends tried hard to get them together, playing matchmaker for a long while, but Y/N's heart was not up to it.
"No. Stefan is a nice guy, but I don't feel it- with him. You know that I want that something that makes my heart jump and - you know- and with him I just didn't feel it."
"I completely  get it. And you want to kiss the one and hold him and stay with him always and forever!"-Bonnie said.
"Yep."- Y/N replied.
"Ok. I got to go. Damon is here. Keep me posted. Later."
"Later."- Y/N said hanging up.
She now looked through the window of the Salon and saw Klaus and Hope together at the table, drawing. It was endearing. 
Tumblr media
      Mary, who walked in with some refreshments saw Y/N gazing at father and daughter.
"Hi"- Y/N said to the housekeeper turning her head.
Mary walked to her with the glass of fresh mint and lemonade drink for Y/N.
"Thank you"- Y/N took the  glass of the woman-"it's so lovely the way he takes time to do things with her."
"Even though most of the time his head is in the clouds. He has a big heart. After so much tragedy those boys had in their lives. And Hope is like the bright star that came down from heavens to lessen the pain."- Mary said.
"Where is her mom?"
"Hayley died in childbirth. Aneurism."- Mary said.
"Oh, that's terrible."- Y/N said saddened.
"Yes. It seemed like happiness can not last long in this family. They lost their mother when they were very young."
”This is so sad”.- Y/N said.
"What was their relationship with - their aunt? Sorry- if I am asking too many questions- but-"
"It is fine. You can ask anything, since - well- Ms Dahlia would not have had such a long life without your grandmother being so noble."
"Noble? Well, she was an organ donor. She - it's so - I don't know how to explain. It is strange to talk about the woman I didn't know. Neither of them and - it's so overwhelming -all this."
"Dahlia loved them like they were her own sons. She spoiled Klaus completely. She would give in to his every whim. Elijah as well, but Elijah was different. A lot more like his mother. Sensible. More cautious, always looking after his brother, trying hard to keep him out of trouble, run the construction business, look after the family."
"Can you tell me more about both of them- Dahlia and - what was their mother's name?"- Y/N asked.
"Esther"- Mary replied walking over to the table with loads of different photographs of the women.
"Ms Dahlia has always been a very extravagant woman. Ms Esther not so much, but she would take her sister's lead."- Mary took one of the photos of them together in wonderful gowns, continuing-"every year, on the 31 of August they would hold a grand Ball in the honour of the day this house was finished and the Mikaelson family moved in. It was a tradition their grandfather started. But, since got ill five years ago, everything stopped. The last Ball was held the year before the Grand Hurricane. She was not feeling well that night at all, but she was ademand to hold it. We celebrated 200 years of the family coming to New Orleans."
"What happened then?"
"Day after she collapsed and they took her to the hospital and after that to a special clinic where she stayed till she passed away a month ago."- Mary replied.
"I wish I could have met her."- Y/N said.
Mary looked poignantly at Y/N, who went through the photos at the table. Mary now flashed back to the past.
15 years ago Mikaelson house, New Orleans
Mary met Dahlia at the door as she entered the house taking her coat and other bags.
"Thank you, Mary. Where are the boys?"- Dahlia inquired.
"Elijah went to the library. Klaus is out with his girlfriend" Mary replied.
"Ah, good."
"How was your trip?"- Mary asked curteously.
"It was fine. Although not entirely. But, I have found the girl. A really wonderful family adopted her. The man is a local doctor and his wife a professor of sociology. They named her Y/N, like Isobel wanted. I wanted to meet her and talk to her, but they didn't let me. They didn't want to tell her lies or invent who I was. So, I let it be. I do understand. I saw her in the schoolyard with other children and- I swore that I will do right by her."
"How about we do a Ball again?"- Y/N said bringing Mary back to reality.
"Execuse me Miss Y/N? A Ball? I doubt Elijah and Klaus would be-"- Mary stopped there as she felt it was not her place to tell Y/N about the money problems they had.
"Why not? It would be in their aunt's honour. This place deserves it"- Y/N was enthusiastic-"I will talk to them.
As Y/N ran the idea about the Ball with Klaus somewhat later, he opened up about their disasterous financial situation.
"But- how would he - you pay me out?"- Y/N wondered.
Klaus explained all.
"Oh!"- Y/N exclaimed as Klaus finished.
"It's bad, but we have some money too keep us afloat. He has been offered a surveyor job. One of our friend has a firm. And I have gigs in Rousseau's, and I am thinking of auditioning for a part in the Theater. They are planning to put The Interview with the vampire. "
"What would you play? Lestat?"
"Bingo!"- Klaus said-"I can't be like Louis. They are calling it the Theater of Vampires."
"Who is playing Armand? Oh, I love Antonio Banderas in the movie. Armand was so slick."- Y/N said.
"You're into the Gothic thing!?"- Klaus stated.
"I wouldn't say so, but there is this something romantic about the whole vampire vibe. Even though they are bloodsuckers actually."
"I suppose you found Louis sweet and romantic?"
"Well, yeah. Brad Pitt was so charming as Louis."
"Maybe I should tell them I would play Louis then."- Klaus joked.
"Are you always so charmingly flirty?"- Y/N shot at the man.
"Guilty as charged."- Klaus said-"life is too short to wallow."- but the way he said it his look swayed to one of his drawings. It was a drawing of Hayley. There were other drawing as well.
"Who is this?"- Elena picked out a drawing.
Tumblr media
      "That's Marcel Jr. He is Elijah's stepson."- Klaus said.
"Stepson? Where is he?"
"He lives with his mother in Ft Lauderdale. Elijah was married for a few years, and he adopted and raised him, but after the divorce, Sabine, his ex has put for a full custody, and Elijah is fighting her to get at least shared custody of him. He is over there now with Camille. He had a court thing."- Klaus said.
"So, he was married?"
"That's Elijah. He always marries the damsel in distress. Well, now he is sort of the damsel. The family is the damsel."
"What do you mean?"- Y/N inquired.
"Camille will come into some money, quite a large amount of money on her 30th birthday, which is in a few months. I found that yesterday from her cousin."
"Elijah will marry her for money? What about love?"- Y/N asked.
"Well, he married Sabine for love, and look where it got him. She cleaned him dry."- Klaus said.
"I still think that one should marry out of love."- Y/N said and now went looked at other drawings Klaus had done. There was was one of Elijah.
Tumblr media
"This one is really good. It’s so real.”
"You can have it."- Klaus said.
"What? Why?"
"No one was so amazed at my drawings- well, except for Hope. She thinks I am the best at everything."
"Isn't it a bit strange to have a picture of your brother?"- Y/N said feeling a bit taken.
"No. It's a work of art. Or?"
"Yeah, well- true. Still- thanks. But it is weird. What would his fiance say?"
"She is not his fiance yet."
"Oh, it is strange."- Y/N put the drawing back to the pile.
"Fine. It is yours anyway. Ok. I am going out. Coming with me?"
"Where are we going?"
"I will show you New Orleans you have never seen before. Are you game?"- Klaus looked at her cheekily.
Y/n nodded- "Need to change."
"I’ll wait in the garden.”
The night out in New Orleans with Klaus was one of the things she would never forget. She met the indie art scene, and Klaus was its king. Loved by everyone it seemed. 
“It was a great night. Thanks”- Y/N said as they got home at the break of dawn-”New Orleans is amazing!”
“Once it gets into your heart you will always want to stay here”- Klaus said.
Y/N nodded smiling - “Oh, yes! I am here to stay!”
She then scampered up the stairs, full of dreams and excitement. And the next morning, as she got up, she was on her phone with zillion ideas swarming, and the idea of organizing the Ball now went into motion. She pulled some strings from the people in New York, where she studied for a couple of years, who put her in touch with some very important people of the NOLA historical society. She got Klaus roped in it and he helped her as much as he could. 
Elijah, who was in Florida was astonished as Klaus reported all that was going on and what Y/N was doing.
"Y/N is out of this world"- Klaus said-"I have not seen such passion - well, since aunt Dahlia. Oh, you should have seen how she pissed De Martels when they tried to undermine us. Anyway, how did it go with Marcel, Jr.?"
"We had some great time together, but they are still not allowing me more than visitation rights, but Camille and Thierry think that all is not lost."- Elijah said.
"Y/N coming here is going to change everything for us, I am telling you, Elijah. So, you are home tomorrow?"
"Yeah. But late at night."- Elijah replied.
"See you."- Klaus said and hung up.
Elijah hung up as well now thinking of Y/N and all Klaus had told him. He had thought of her quite a bit on this trip. Everything about her was different. Somehow dreamy. Like she came down from the stars and walked in their lives breaking the darkness away. Shaking all of them up and him as well.
The morning after he arrived, he went down to the kitchen.
"Good morning"- he said leaning on the door.
Tumblr media
"Morning"- Y/N replied pouring herself a cup of coffee.
Elijah walked in sitting down a stool.
"Coffee?"- Y/N offered.
"Yes, please"- Elijah replied-"So, I hear we are hosting a Ball?"
Y/N poured him a cup handing it over- "Yes, we are. You're not really happy about it?"
"I didn't say that. I- you know that- well, Klaus told you everything."- Elijah said taking a sip of the coffee.
Y/N sighed a little- "yes, he did."      
She continued-"And- you shouldn't worry about anything. I managed to do some fundraising and the historical society will give us some money, plus I got a magazine, and not just any magazine, the New York ‘Home&Design’, to write a feature on it and promised them exclusive pictures, so we get the cash from that as well. You just have to put on your tux and leave the rest to me."
"When Klaus described you being on fire- I just thought -there, he is amplifying everything through his artistic eyes."- Elijah said.
"When I put my mind on something I get things done."- Y/N explained.
"I hear and I see."- Elijah smiled a little, sipping a pit of the coffee.
"I- well. I didn't really had time to talk to you after that night. You had to go- and- well, I really want you to know that- all this has - it has changed my life. I feel good here. At home. And - I hope you understand that this Ball means something to me too."
"I do, Y/N. I do know what it is like to try and live without parents, and trying to find your way in the world."- Elijah said with warmth.
"I thought you will find all this - me with my head in the clouds-"
"Klaus told me to 'believe the dreams of a girl'- it will bring the sunshine back."- Elijah said.
"Really? well, that is so nice of him."
"He is right. Ok. Thank you for the coffee. I will see you later. I guess you have plenty of instructions for us."- he stood up.
"Yes, I do."- Y/N smiled at the man.
"Good. Ok- see you then"- Elijah said and glanced at her sweetly not understanding where and how butterflies suddenly appeared flattering in his chest.
"Yes, see you"- Y/N also looked after him in the same sweet dreamy manner. ___________

______________
Later that night, Angel and Elijah found themselves discussing Y/N/E and Buffy.
"When they said Code name Slayer, and your Buffy came in, I really thought wtf, but wow - the tactic and strategic plans she showed were genius." - Elijah said.
"She has a rype of logic I have always admired."- Angel said-"whenever we were given a task and she lead the team, we have always made it first, with no casulties. Sometimes it felt like she would go through plans like a computer or knew all the moves the enemy would do." - Angel explained.
"I know you two have history, but - she looks like an ice-queen. Did you see how she spoke to Lockwood."-Elijah said-"and when you addressed an issue, she kind of looked right through you."
"Yeah, she changed. And - ahm - there are things  I've never told you about her and me."
"Oh?"
Angel now told him about how he went to stop the wedding -
Flashback
New York, Years back
Tumblr media
"What are you doing here?" - Buffy asked Angel extremely pissed off as he stepped out and said that he had something to say.
"I love you. I made a huge mistake when I let you go. I just had to come and - please - I know how it looks-"
Andrew, Buffy's fiance and a husband to be now punched Angel.
"Fuck" - Elijah said-"I would never think you'd do something like that. You are always so rational."
"When it comes to her I forget -my head- everything"
"What happened? I guess she still married the man!?" - Elijah said.
"Yes. She was three months pregnant. And -"
"What?"
"The baby was still born." - Angel said.
"Oh, damn."
"Please keep this to yourself." - Angel said.
"Of course. Hey, this is serious stuff."
"I heard that the marriage broke down and she - went to teach on West Point. Later got into Pentagon."- Angel said.
"Is she kind of the reason why you split with Brennan?" - Elijah now asked.
"No. Brennan wanted me back in FBI, start a family, but I just -"
"You run from it." - Elijah concluded.
"I can't settle. I tried and - just can't."- Angel admitted.
"You two never really had closure, did you?"
Angel sighed-
"Well, I didn't. And seeing her today, it felt like a boomerang hit me. I don't know if I can survive another class- but- hey, talking about surviving classes- you changed colours when  Sunny aka Y/N/E came in."
"Don't even start. Damn! Her of all women out there had to be an instructor.”- Elijah now smiled chucking -”I asked her to have coffee with me" - 
"You didn't?"
"I did. She wants to know about the Mig!" - Elijah raised his eyebrow.
"You told her about that?"
"It came out. But she has read the report already. She has got access to classified files." - Elijah replied.
"You used the Mig to go out with her. What are you doing? She is our instructor. You could get kicked out. And not to mention you are on a huge rebound." -Angel reminded his friend.
"Who says I am going to marry her. And I am very well aware that she is our instructor. So damn beautiful and brainy, though."-Elijah said with a smirk on his face.       
"You are playing with fire and I really hope you won’t get burnt.”
"I crushed and burnt already- twice. Who says we can't have fun?! No emotions. Just fun!"
"Well, it's good she is off limits in a way, cuz you are talking like a jerk." - Angel said.
"Maybe. She didn't brush me off."- Elijah said taking a swag of beer.
"I have a feeling she will."- Angel said.
"Let's wait and see."
🚫
In her aparment, Y/N/E thought about Elijah as well. It's been a long time she had taken notice of a guy and flirted with one. She agreed to have coffee with him. What was she thinking? Just cancel it, Y/N/E. There is nothing to it. It's just a harmless cup of coffee and you will get info on the Mig first hand. That's all. What else is there?
But, thinking of him and that smouldering look he gave her as he left make her feel all fuzzy inside.Y/N/E shook her head and now putting the take away on her plate she put some music on. Then pouring herself a glass of wine she went to the balcony to eat.
There she was. Eating alone. And it has been like this for years now. She would get her take away out. Get a glass of wine. Listen to some music. Work on the design. Maybe watch a movie. Go to bed. Get up. Go to work.
Flashback A year ago
"Hey" - Y/N/E said as she picked up her phone.
"Hey" - Caroline said-"I am coming over in a couple of days. Long weekend to be exact. And we are having fun."
"What?"
"I spoke to Damon and he said you are - you! You just work and work and work."
Y/N/E sighed-"Care, I really can't this weekend. I have to prepare for a conference and then I have to mark the finals when I get back, plus I am working on the new design for a fighter jet."
"Ok. I know Ms Smarty pants - next weekend then? They do give you time off. Well, it's actually you who loads herself with work and more work."- Caroline was not letting her friend off the hook so easily and Y/N/E knew that she wouldn't so she looked at the diary now and told the blonde-
"I - have some time off -last weekend in June."
"Good. I will be there and don't you dare find an excuse or cancel. Ok. Bye. Talk later." - Caroline said and hung up.
Two weeks later, Caroline was there, in Annapolis. And she had a full program of girly fun. They went for lunch and a guy flirted a bit with Y/N/E, making her get dismissive was tense. Later that evening, Caroline had to address the issue of Y/N/E completely burying herself into work, and the way she reacted to the man.
"Y/N/E, I know it hurt like hell when Stefan died, but, you are allowed to live - a little. More than a little.
" I can't do it, Caroline"-Y/N/E said.
"Stefan would want you to go out there and - have fun. It's been -more than a year."
"I don't care if it's been a year or thousand years - I just - can't. I don't think I ever will."- Y/N/E said annoyed a tad bit.
"Ok. Maybe not right now. But you are only 26. One day you might meet a guy and fall in love. And it's ok - to fall in love again"
"I am not interested. I will never fall in love again. My heart died with him"- Y/N/E now looked away as her eyes filled with tears.
"Hey - I’m sorry- I didn' t mean to be insensitive. Ok. let’s got out - ice cream or something- tell me about this new jet"
Y/N/E now gulped and tried to dismiss the butterflies rumbling inside of her stirred by the very thought of Elijah. She needed a distraction, and called Buffy now. The two instructors met a few days ago as they arrived and clicked on immediately.
"Do you want to go out for a drink?" - Y/N/E said-"My bff Damon is in the movies with his boyfriend. They asked me to go with them, but I don't want to be the third wheel."
"Yeah, ok. Ocean Mystic bar?" -Buffy said.
"Yes. See you in ten."- Y/N/E said.
And soon, the women met up there, greeted by the new bar owner, their friend Lorenzo St. John.
"Enzo- you're back? Caroline said you won't be back till end of the month?"- Y/N/E said as the two friends hugged.
"I came down  earlier cuz I need to finalize the paper work."- the man explained-"I have some news - also bought the Ocean Drive Diner."
"OMG! Seriously?" -Y/N/E said happy to hear the news.
"Yeah, Caroline convinced me that she will make it into a hip place. And we all loved hanging out there."
"You  so had enough of L. A., ha?" - Y/N/E continued.  
"Totally. It feels good to be back, O tell you that."- Enzo said.
"I say so, too."- Y/N/E said.
"Ok, the drinks are on the house, I will leave you two now."
"Oh, I completely forgot. This is Buffy, the new tactic/strategy instructor."- Y/N/E introduced the blonde.
"Nice to meet you."- Enzo said-"I hope you like it here."
"I see that you are a good happy clique. No one made so welcome ever." - Buffy said.
"That's how we roll here" - Enzo said, and with a little see you later went.
Y/N/E and Buffy went on to chat about Y/N/E and her friends and their lives as teenagers and how they remained still so close, even though life had set them apart at one point.
Buffy remembered her friends, but also how their friendship fell apart and they stopped calling one another.
All in all, the evening went to recalling good and sad moments.
Buffy now also shared to Y/N/E her story with Angel.
🚫
In the morning
Y/N/E played with her phone, as she parked in front of the Ocean Drive Diner where she agreed she would meet Elijah. 
Tumblr media
     As she was about to call him, she saw him sit inside already waiting for her. 
Tumblr media
      She gulped hard. Again the fuzzy, but now even butterfly-like feelings rushed back in right through her.
"Bite the bullet" - Y/N/E said to herself trying to steady herself, checking her make up in the review mirror unconsciously and then put the phone back in her bag and got out of her Porsche.
As she entered, she kind of straightened her shirt and with a very serious and semi-professional demeanour walked to where Elijah was sitting. 
Hearing her say hello to the waitress, Elijah looked up, giving her a little smile. 
"You are early" -  Y/N/E said as she sat down.
"I see you work on military precision." - Elijah said. 
“Always”- she replied and now turned to the waitress telling her what she would have-
"Coffee. Milk. No sugar. And bluberry pancakes."
"Bluberry pancakes?!" - Elijah said-"Me too."
The waitress went and Y/N/E went straight to the point, taking out the sheet of questions from her briefcase. 
"You are very efficient." - Elijah remarked taking the paper looking at the questions.
"I need specifics" - Y/N/E said-"it would be so great if you would be as precise as you can be."
"Right. I - must say that I am amazed at -"
Elena cut in before he could funish kind of knowing what he was getting at-
"How come a girly me is into something so- masculine?"
"I didn't mean to say that - I don't do stereotypes."- Elijah said defensively. One of our best Seals operatives was a woman, who got us out from a right jam."
"I'm sorry - I didn't mean to - cut in like that. But - I do get some of the stereotype comments. Anyway, I seriously will appreciate you doing this."
"Yeah, no problem. Still how come you love planes so much."
"My dad." - Y/N/E said-"He was a NASA pilot.”
 “Gilbert! John Gilbert? He is your dad? The one that - " - Elijah stopped there as he knew about John Gilbert's fatal crash.
"Yes. The one that died on the test flight in 1990. I was one years old."- Y/N/E resumed.
"Oh. Yes- I’m sorry”- Elijah said with a genuinely heartfelt voice.
Elena now lowered her defences and continued-
"Thanks. It’s all - because of him, I wanted to be an astronaut, but I ended up constructing planes, and teaching areo-space dynamics. But talking about great dads, yours is right up there, too."
"Well, I would not say that he is that brilliant. Well, maybe as an NCIS investigator, but lousy as a father."
Y/N/E could see that she inadvertently hit the nerve there. It was good that the pancakes came as she now gushed how much she missed the way they made them there, adding loads of cream, Elijah commented-
"You have -a real sweet tooth."
"The sweetest.This will cost me extra hours in the gym later." - Y/N/E now put a lot of cream on the pancakes.
"Who parties hard needs to work hard" - Elijah said as he tucked in his pancakes, putting the same amount of cream on.
And somehow the conversation swayed to food and the diner. She told him that her friend had bought the place. Not long after Enzo arrived and Y/N/E now introduced Elijah to her friend and the new owner. 
"Well, if you leave the old menu and maybe add something I will sure come here when I can. The military food is good enough, but this is very much like home cooking. Reminds me so much of home."
"And home is?" - Enzo asked.
"New Orleans." - Elijah replied.
"OMG. Love the Big Easy. Caroline, dreams of a Honeymoon there."-Enzo said.
Y/N/E now remembered it and  shot - "She is giving you hints again! It's time you proposed."
"I am."- Enzo now got the little box out now.
"Wow. You bought the ring?!" - Y/N/E said enthusiastically. 
"Yeah, and when she gets here. I will propose on her birthday. That’s the plan."
"Really? This is so great! But you know that she is having a themed disco birthday party. The 70s!"- Y/N/E reminded her friend.
"Yes, of course. I want to do it in front of all our friends cuz you all were going on about it for the last 10 years."
"More than ten years"- Y/N/E said-"You've been together since you were 16."
"And we got together on the 70s dance!" - Enzo remembered the night he finally plucked up courage to tell Caroline how he felt about her.
"Omg, yeah. I forgot. Oh, it's going to be perfect." - Y/N/E gushed. Her eye then caught Elijah sitting quietly sipping his coffee.
"I am sorry- I didn't mean to be rude- we haven't seen each other for a long time and - there is so much happening."
"Hey- no big. I can see. It's totally fine. Anyway, I have a class at 11:00 and need to get changed for it. Today is also our test flight at 14:00, so I will see you at the hanger, Sunny."- Elijah stood up-"I'll get these."
Elijah now turned to Enzo congratulating him on him proposing to his long standing girlfriend and wished him good luck. He then went, getting on his bike, driving away speedily.
Y/N/E felt bad because she lost herself chatting with Enzo. But it was the talk of proposal that cut Elijah and dampened his mood. 🚫
At the baracks, Angel met Elijah as they were about to go to the class asking him about the coffee.
"Good." - Elijah replied without any particular emotion, kind of absent-minded.
"I knew this would turn out bad."- Angel said-"she kicked you to the curb, right?"
"No. She was actually nice. It was really good."
"So,what's with the face then?"
"Nothing. We got to go to the class." - Elijah said and shut down.
Angel just shook his head.
Later, at the hanger, Y/N/E came to Elijah and apologized for leaving him kind of dry at the diner.
"Hey, don't sweat."
"Ok. Ahm, Enzo is having an official opening cuz he is the new owner of Mystic Ocean, too -and - I'd like to buy you a drink - to say sorry."
"Yeah, ok." - Elijah accepted a smile curling up at the end of his mouth.
"Saturday, 20:00, and it's a kareoke night." - Y/N/E said putting a little smile on.
Elijah now smiled back at Y/N/E understanding the hint. Suddenly, his heart perked up and the world had a sunny outlook.

Later that evening Mystic Ocean bar
Damon, Kai, Y/N/E and Enzo sat down together and it nearly felt like a school reunion. Caroline was on facetime.
"Oh, I hate that I can't be there right now. But I am definitely there on Saturday, even though I have to get back to L. A. to wrap up things here. Can't wait to be with you guys. Oh, and prepare yourself for the craziest birthday party ever. It's not every day I turn 30. Ok. Got to go now. Don't have too much fun."
Everyone said in one voice that they won't, which was not true.
In L. A. Caroline now went to the bathroom and took another pregnancy test.
She looked at the stick, which was the fifth she took.
"And - you're pregnant, girl." - she muttered to herself. She smiled a bit. She was happy, but with her and Enzo having bought the new businesses, this was not the ideal time to have a baby. But, this was Caroline. Life and challenges were her speciality. She knew Enzo loved her to bits and they got through thick and thin, starting from zero, and worked hard to get where they were now.
She now sent Y/N/E a message to call her when she came home, writing -
Y/N/E saw the message and read-
"Code red."  That meant there was something serious to discuss.
Kai, Damon and Enzo were now discussing Care's coming birthday party and the 70s theme.
"Don't tell me she is going to make us wear glitter." - Kai said.
"Yes" - Enzo replied-"and if you don't come properly dressed, no free booze."
"Well, I know I will do a Billy Idol" - Damon said.
"She specifically said Disco!" - Enzo remarked-"and isn't Billy Idol 80s?"
"So 80s."- Y/N/E said-"remember Matt dying his hair blonde to be Billy Idol"
And from there on, it was remember this and remember that, which also brought loads of memories of Stefan back. But strangely, Y/N/E could speak about him and not feel her heart clump up as it would have done a year ago.
Later as they were leaving the bar, Damon said this-
"For the first time in a long time we talked about him and it felt - I don't know how to say it - good, but I was not feeling like my heart was going to burst that he was gone, and could not be here with us."
"He is always with us. We should talk about him. Because if we don't it's like he was never here, and - I don't that. He was everything to me."-Y/N/E said.
"Does that mean - ok- I am all for you starting to date someone else-"
"What? I am not dating anybody." - Y/N/E now said.
"It's ok, YN/E. Hey, You don't need my or anybody's permission to start dating again."
"Oh, Enzo told you" - Y/N/E now clicked where this was coming from.
"He just mentioned that you had coffee with one of the pilots. But don't get mad with Enzo now for - telling us."
"I just had coffee with him. And it was work related."- Y/N/E kind of defended herself-"and you guys are like High School revisited." 
Y/N/E went off at Damon, and he knew her so well as she would not be so defensive if there was not something going on.
"Omg. I think you've fallen for the guy. "- Damon said.
"Shut up, Damon."
Y/N/E was clearly not in the mood and Damon let it be.
In the car, Y/N/E, not wanting to think about what Damon voiced out, now called Caroline, who, of course had spoken to Enzo as well, and now brought up the coffee with the Lieutenant.
"I just had Damon on my case. Can I not just have a coffee with a guy?"
"Ah, you had a coffee with a guy! Nothing big?! Right!? You never have coffee with just a guy! This so means something." - Caroline now went on, letting it off.
Y/N/E now said that it was work related and that she could not talk about it, cause it was classified.
"Ok. But can you at least describe him. You know Enzo, he just said, a navy officer and that he owned a Norton Commander bike"
"Enzo is right. He is just a navy guy. I've seen hundreds of them and taught hundreds of them. Nothing special." - Y/N/E replied.
"Ugh! You can be so - ugh sometimes."
"Is that code red - wanting to know about my coffee?"
"Ahm, yeah and no. I - should've called it code blue. Cuz I'm pregnant!" - Caroline now shot out.
"You what? Omg!" - Y/N/E was bummed, but happily bummed - "This is so great."
"Talking about classified stuff. Enzo doesn't know yet. I want to tell him at my birthday. I want to surprise him."
"Right. Ok. Top secret it is."
Y/N/E now thought of Enzo having a surprise of her own prepared. Y/N/E now felt like a double agent.
The women now went gushing over the news.
This was the good news they all needed, as there was plenty of heartache for Caroline, as well having lost her mom to cancer when she graduated from High School. And having to fend through, working at the same diner, she part owned now, putting herself through business school.
⚠️
At the baracks
 Elijah was on the phone, talking to his sister Rebekah.
"I have 4 days off and I am flying down to see you."
"Wow, are you serious? It's a long flight from Australia. I won't be able to see you much. Only in the evening." - Elijah said.
"I don't care. Cuz I will have nothing free till Christmas and God knows where you will be sent next. And I want to hear what the hell happened with Hayley? What was this message that she got married?!" - Rebekah said.
Elijah sighed a little now saying - "Tell you about it when you get here. Though it's not worth it."
They now chatted a little bit about their mom and her new husband.
⚠️
The days that followed where all about work and their duties.
Both Elijah and Y/N/E, as well as Angel and Buffy were keeping it very professional. Whatever was going on inside of them was kept under wraps, and they solely concentrated on work.
For Angel, it was a great exercise to show restraint and keep it together. His heart was even more in love with Buffy than ever before. Elijah, who first claimed that he would not let any of his feeling be stirred again by any woman, was now day in and day out, completely shaken by Y/N/E. How she got under his skin so fast was mind-boggling. Angel still maintained the theory that this was  all about the rebound feelings, but Elijah was not sure. This woman moved him in ways not other had done before. 
Flashback
Angel came up to Elijah as he now said bye to Y/N/E after discussing the flight. He stood gazing at Y/N/E like he was lost in a dream.
“You’re gone.”- Angel said-”but you know now about her fiancé. Stefan Salvatore.”
“I know. Damn! She had one too many heartbreaks.”- Elijah sighed and said-”I wish I could - make it better.”
“You - you have fallen her”
“She is everything - beautiful, smart, funny - and she loves planes - engines - I can talk to her for hours about it and she will not be bored.”
“I know exactly how you feel.”- Angel said.

A few days later
 Y/N/E was still at her office working on the design ideas as Elijah knocked at the door.
"Hello" - Y/N/E looked up as he came in.
"How can I help you, Lt. Mikaelson?"
" I have completed the sheet with your questions, M'am. "- Elijah said now handing Y/N/E the paper.
" Ah, thank you."- Y/N/E took it.
"Working late?!"- Elijah remarked.
"Yes."- Y/N/E replied briefly just look at Elijah in a awkward kind of manner. It was like she lost the power of speech for a moment. Her eyes where like - is there something else you wanted? I am busy here.
Elijah got the strange vibe off of her and now nodded a little saying -
"I will see you."
Y/N/E nodded and Elijah left the office.
Y/N/E sat down to continue the work, but she could not concentrate. Slamming back at the chair she rubbed her face with her hands, exhaling deep. What the hell was that? All week she was fine around him. And now - she was like a teenager, from one moment to the next, she lost it. She closed the laptop and gathered all her things, and left the office.
And, then like a curse had set in on her, the Porsche now didn't want to start. She tried over and over, but it was not budging.
Frustrated, she now got out and put the hood up. She knew about plane engines, and all the supersonic stuff, and she soon could diagnose that the battery was flat.
Put the hood down, she nearly jumped seeing Elijah standing there-
"OMG- you scared the Hell out of me."- Y/N/E now said.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to. Just saw you with the hood up. Can I help?"
"No. Battery is dead. I will have to get it towed in the morning. I am going to get a taxi." - Y/N/E said.
"I can take you. If  - that's ok?" - Elijah offered.
"You're fine. I’ll get a taxi." - Y/N/E said feeling now again the fuzziness rise up in her.
"It takes forever for them to get put here. Really it is not a problem."
Y/N/E knew that this was the most sensible idea, and nodded now as a yes.
She now got her laptop and her bag out of the car.
Elijah now gave her his helmet, and he put his pilot one on.
"Ok? "- Elijah said as he got on the bike, and Elena as well.
"Yep."- Y/N/E answered as she now circled her arms around his waist.
A second later they drove off. 
Tumblr media
                 Y/N/E tried so hard for her heart not to give her out as she now could not control it anymore. Her temperature was surely rising being so close to him.
❤️I'm so into you, I can barely breathe And all I wanna do is to fall in deep
But close ain't close enough 'til we cross the line So name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice, hey
Having reached the destination, meaning the apartment block where Y/N/E lived, she now thanked the handsome Lieutenant for the ride.
"Any time." - Elijah said.
"Yeah. I - will see you - tomorrow. Good night."
"Good night." - Elijah said back and - they stood there looking at one another like enchanted, her trying desperately to calm her heart that was feeling a thousand butterflies swarm up.
Oh baby, look what you started The temperature's rising in here Is this gonna happen? Been waiting and waiting for you to make a move Before I make a move💖
