#〔 katherine / verse : season 2 〕Better you die than I

[induro-a]

looking for a little fun ; @seesgood 

There was a 𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐄 in her tone as she snickered, her body electric as she looked at the hunched over blonde who was over the top of a 𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐔𝐓 body on the ground. Dead, completely drained of every 𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 of life, and it caused the vampire to 𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 in enjoyment. She loved watching a newbie vampire, going through transition and completing it with the 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 of a life. “Oh little Care Bear,” a sly smile on ruby red lips, fangs peeking out as Katherine takes in the 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 of a freshly dead body. “My oh my how the mighty have 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍, what did Miss Mystic Falls do?”

ooh can you do those same top three questions but for suits and tvd :)

Sure can, nonnie! xx

*Just as a general disclaimer for anyone else who happens to read this: my ship preferences are what they are. I’m simply stating my opinion/preference and am in no way encouraging hate or fights. Discussion is always welcome, of course, but happy vibes here only!

*2020 sucks enough as it is without bringing ship drama into it, you know?

TVD

Top 3 seasons:

-1, 2, and 3 without an ounce of hesitation. This was when the show was at its peak in storytelling, characterization, ship development, magic/mythology etc.

Top 3 romantic ships:

-Klaroline. One of my highest echelon ships for reasons I do not need to enumerate; however, I will say what I love about them most is they challenge as well as complement each other in beautifully rich, convoluted ways. Their back and forth is ridiculously entertaining, too!

-Kalijah. They have spice, and angst, and forbidden love, and 500+ years of cat-and-mouse chasing and I will be over here bitter about them for eternity! 

-Forwood. *excuse me while I cry over “until we find a way” for a few hours* These two went through so much to be together! Their progressive arc in s2-s3 is still one of my favorites.

*I’m Swiss neutral when it comes to Stelena and Delena, I vacillate between both ships at different times so they’re not included in my top 3. I’m an anomalous TVD shipper, a true outlier, what can I say?

Top 3 platonic ships:

-Klelijah. Klaus and Elijah have an incredibly dense, fraught brotherly dynamic. Something about their ancient ties and 1,000-year bond is gripping. There’s so much spoken and unspoken subtext between them. So many unresolved “somethings.” Plus, it’s no secret that I adore the Originals and all they add to the TVD-verse.

-Klebekah. Klaus and Rebekah sparkle, they sizzle, any time they’re on-screen together. Just the sheer depth of feeling and betrayal and angst they emanate is so entertaining to watch. Don’t get me started on the whole “I loved you more than anyone and you didn’t even care” scene because I get emotional.

-Defan. Stefan and Damon are another complex sibling relationship on the show. Throw into the mix that they find themselves in love with same woman, not once, but twice, and whew! I love the flashbacks we get of them throughout history as well.

*Gotta give shoutouts to my other favorite, though moderately less well-developed, brotps here: Carenzo, Katholine, Rebekoline, and Baroline. *chef’s kiss*

Top 3 characters:

-Caroline Forbes

-Klaus Mikaelson

-Katherine Pierce

Top 3 plotlines you’d change/erase if you could:

-THE BABY PLOTS ! ! ! BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!! (I’m talking Klaus/Haley and their tribrid baby and Caroline’s surrogacy/pregnancy with the Gemini twins.) I apologize for my overemphasized caps + exclamation points here, but I loathe these storylines with every fiber of my being. I can’t help it. More often than not, I like to pretend they don’t exist lololol.

-How they handled the beginning of Stefan and Caroline’s romantic relationship was...icky. Like, while Liz was dying? Really? Then she turns off her humanity because he “rejects” her. Again, REALLY? I have major issues with the overall portrayal of them as a couple - particularly with the relationship imbalances as well as the insecurities they heightened instead of tamped out in each other - but the inception of it all is what kills me. Especially because I am a huge proponent of friends-to-lovers ships...and the writers really dropped the ball with them, imo. I’m a multishipper at heart so the disappointment I harbor is PALATABLE. 

-The Cure storyline and the Travelers storyline. Didn’t like either of them. They have equal “could’ve been loads better” billing.

Top 3 episodes you’d take to a deserted island:

-3x14, Dangerous Liaisons. LISTEN. This is my favorite episode of the entire series. There’s a ball, there’s blood-tinged champagne, there’s duplicity and romance and drama. All the Mikaelsons are under the same roof, for crying out loud! It’s gold!

-2x07, Masquerade. This one because of my girl, Katherine Pierce, the biggest, baddest bitch of all. She’s a saucy little minx the entire masquerade only to end up locked in the tomb. I just...love it.

-The Klaroliner in me is screaming 4x23, Graduation because being on a deserted island without having access to Klaus’s iconic “however long it takes” declaration would be insupportable. However, a case could be made for either 3x20, Do Not Go Gentle because I am trash for the decade dances, and that one’s my favorite, OR 3x22, The Departed because that is one hell of a season finale!

Suits

Top 3 seasons:

-Season 2. Mike’s secret out of the bag? Them all working together to fight against the merger? Donna shredding evidence to protect Harvey? Daniel fucking Hardman? *thumbs up*

-Season 5. FIREWORKS. Donna’s working for Louis, Harvey’s in therapy, Mike gets arrested/goes on trial, Zane family drama. Exquisite stuff

-Season 3 or Season 1. Don’t make me choose between them, please. 🙏🏻

Top 3 romantic ships:

-Darvey. I mean, OBVIOUSLY. These two idiots had me from the pilot. I knew the moment Donna said “I also took care of that. we’ve been married for the last 7 years” that I was on the precipice of falling into another long, beautiful, up-to-their-chins-in-pining, slow sloooooow burn ships. Granted, I didn’t think it’d take 8 seasons for them to get together lololol but I don’t regret a damn thing!

-Mike and Rachel. They’re adorable together, they truly love each other. Also, can we talk about how they’re a steady couple for most-ish of the show?  They have drama, sure, but they work through most of it together. As a unit. THAT’S A BIG DEAL. It’s like going through the canon drive thru and actually getting (most) of what you ordered.

-Louis and Sheila. This is a couple who makes me laugh uproariously AND feel all the emotions. I mean, will I ever forget Louis dropping to one knee in the hospital with his ass cheeks hanging out? NO. Will I ever get over Shelia’s pregnant feet being too fat to fit into her Cinderella glass slippers? NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Will I blubber like an emo sap whenever they finally reconcile/get their happy ending? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

Top 3 platonic ships:

-Mike and Harvey. They have a connection from the beginning but I love seeing how much they rub off on one another, how much deeper their bond grows over the course of the show. Their movie references are always a delight, too. *cries: it’s so beautiful*

-Donna and Louis. Their relationship is so important to me. Like?!?!?!? They have so many fantastic one-on-one moments together - some that make your sides ache with laughter, others that prick your eyes with emotion and tears. Even though it kills me when Donna leaves Harvey to work for Louis, I can’t help but love it too because he fanboys all over her. GIVE DONNA ALL THE LOVE AND APPRECIATION SHE DESERVES. 

-Harvey and Louis because they have a formative and/or impactful dynamic. They mostly respect each other but there’s a lot of animosity between them. Makes for such good TV!

Top 3 characters:

-Donna Paulsen aka Fashion Goddess of NYC (can I have all of her outfits? for real) and the Reigning Queen of Sass (who also happens to be the reigning queen of my heart as well). The entire firm would have fallen into collapse without her, FULL STOP.

-Harvey Specter. I have a penchant for stoic, inscrutable, emotionally constipated, on-the-borderline-of-asshole characters and boy did I hit the jackpot with this one! 

-This one was hard, but I’m going to go with Louis Litt because his character evolution is amazing! He’s so unlikable at times, what with his competitive streak and anger/jealousy issues, but then there’s this whole other side to him that’s sensitive and vulnerable and sweet. You can’t help but root for him, you know? (Even when you want to punch him right in the nose lol.)

Top 3 plotlines you’d change/erase if you could:

-Harvey giving Paula the credit for why he reconciled with his mother, when it was actually because of Donna. They retcon/fix this in the narrative in s9 but it still bugs me in the moment. I can’t let it go. So sue me.

-Pearson Hardman’s “Harvard Only” hiring law. Not only is it ridiculous and discriminatory but no way in hell would you even be able to implement such a thing in today’s world. Nor should you be able to do so. Diversity is important!

-I wasn’t crazy about the Mike prison storyline but, at the same time, he had to serve out penance for the whole fraud business??? So yeah.

Top 3 episodes you’d take to a deserted island:

-2x07, Sucker Punch. THE MOCK TRIAL, AHHHHHHH. Louis grills Donna about Harvey within an inch of her life. I can hear his inflection during his stream of “do you love Harvey Specter, do you love Harvey Specter” in my head. It is so effing tense in that conference room, I DIE. 

3x06, The Other Time. I am all about this flashback episode, okay? It opens Pandora’s box on all things past!Darvey and also shows us how Mike gets thrown out of school.

-8x16, Harvey. If you think I’d willingly retreat to a deserted island without having access to that Darvey love epiphany/love actualization scene then you are kidding yourself! I still blast “Love is Mystical” on full volume just to daydream about that swooping-through-the-apartment-door smooch sometimes. *fans self*

                M A L A V I T A • tvd x tw crime family au.

organized crime is h i g h in the city of new orleans when the hales and the mikaelsons are around. the two families are grappling for having the most power, long past pretending to make nice. many people in the city try to stay neutral, not taking any side or simply not trying to get involved. others? well, they pick a side, because it's the life they've always known growing up in new orleans, or it's for survival. the police have slowly been corrupted by it as well, deciding it's easier just to work with the mobsters than try and fight them when the mayor is even making deals with them. both families dominate much of the real estate in the city, buying up many of the buildings. the hales main establishment is a night club, verdant, while the mikaelsons main establishment is kol mikaelson's strip club, plush. the stilinski family is one of the few out there that really want to bring the law back into the city, but they're doing it quietly ; they need more allies  &  more leverage before they would attempt that. the salvatores were formerly friends of the mikaelsons, they've changed their alliance to the hales. while the salvatores are working their way up in the hale family rank, the mikaelsons are planning revenge. the argents have only just recently come to town, allying with the mikaelsons just because they've never particularly liked the hale family. old rivalries die hard ; not an unknown concept in this town.

                                     read under the cut for the rules & the character roles.

mature themes will be present here. please don't join if you're easily triggered by violence, blood, or any other triggers that would come along with crime.

this is an all human the vampire diaries/the originals x teen wolf crossover au. if you're part of another fandom and really are interested, you're welcome to message in, although i only have these fandoms listed below right now. along with that, i probably don't have all of the characters in existence in these fandoms listed below. partially because i don't watch the originals  &  i haven't watched the last few seasons of the vampire diaries, but also because i am human myself & may have just missed someone accidentally. so if you play a tvd, to, or tw character that isn't listed as well, you can totally still apply. there's just so many that i probably forgot them. ocs are welcome too!

some of the spots people are in are ones i'm set in stone with. others can be moved and fiddled with if you have a reason to why you want to move them! you're welcome to ask, but please know that i may decline if i really like the spot they're in.

i have also made katherine and elena twins, along with making isaac, caroline, and camille siblings. if the cami wants it, camden could have been a twin to her prior to his death. malia currently doesn't know peter is her father ( for angst reasons )  &  a few characters that are canonly dead are alive here. hayley is also a hale in this verse.

please read here to see where i've gotten the terms  &  to read about a few other terms not mentioned that will come in handy while you rp. this is also a good place to read.

characters should be 18 years or older in this au. twenties and up will be the best, i'd imagine. if you want to change your fc to make it work better with an age, you can. just let me know upon applying!

if you're applying for a character that's to be decided, then you get to have some say in where they're at. neutrals can also be moved if you have a strong reasoning to move them.

i tried to mix up alliances between shows so it’s not just everyone from teen wolf on one side and everyone on the vampire diaries on one side. that’s the main reason for some of the choices i made with alliances!

you are not required to follow everyone participating in the verse, but you shouldn’t ignore another character just because you’re not mutuals. please interact with everyone, regardless if you’re following them or not!

characters with their name linked on the main post are taken. anyone who is not linked is available for applications.

track the tag gv. malavita

TO APPLY: message me here. no biographies are required ( although encouraged if you're interested & need them to help you get into a headspace ), but i do require you to submit me the following information:

character's name: character's age: face claim: in case it's different than canon occupation: if they have one affiliation: list what they have below, or your options here if you wish to have a potential change or if it is a to be decided character. kudos if you also take the time to say why they're affiliated with them if it's not simply just for blood family reasons. headcanon: a headcanon you have about the character in this verse. miscellaneous: anything else you need to add but don't feel like you have to add anything if you don't need to.

running for my life { sc } ; @xchaosandmagic​

500 years of running for it to end up like this. Backed up into a corner with her fangs bared and her body 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄. She hadn’t felt fear like this in centuries. Sure Katherine had always been 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 from Niklaus, but being caught was worse. Usually she would weasel her way out of it but she didn’t know how she could get 𝐎𝐔𝐓 of this anymore, he had broken the curse. Spilled Petrova blood and 𝐔𝐍𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 his werewolf side, becoming what everyone feared. The Original Hybrid, and he could do with his blood and fangs what he now wished. He could kill her, but Katherine didn’t let 𝐀𝐍𝐘 of this fear pick up her dead heart, or show on her face. She had that smirk that curled around her fangs clear, her eyes dark with blood and 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄. For her family, for the life she never had. “So, you 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 caught the elusive Katherine Pierce, what now? You kill me and move on with your life? What fun is that?”
