[deromanuscoven]

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤!

From August 24 to August 31, the de Romanus coven will celebrate the character of Marius de Romanus with an event.

-This year the event will be organized in three days aimed at aphorisms of famous painters and the cue given by their picturesque works, while, other three days will feature a prompt dedicated to the thoughts of the great minds of the Greek and Roman past and proverbs taken from Druid culture.

-The seventh day will be devoted to the painting of Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, who dedicated his art to the ancient world and especially ancient Rome. His paintings will be accompanied by an aphorism from Ovid and an aphorism from Pasolini, both dedicated to time passing, remembrance, and loneliness.

-The eighth day will be dedicated to the DOMINUS prompt, which we decided to keep from last year's event.

We have tried to encapsulate the essence of Marius' character, gathering cues from all that is most loved about him, and cherished things about his character.

As always, the days will be divided into two prompts to choose from; everyone can choose to tackle one or both. We kindly ask for respect for the character of Marius and especially for Anne Rice. This event is for those who want to share, and create positive content with love for a character they hold dear. Thank you in advance to all who will participate and share their love for Marius.

-All types of work will be accepted, fanart, fanfiction, moodboard, aesthetic, poetry, photos, collage, etc….

-All work should be tagged with de romanus coven event, please, so that it can be easily reblogged in the coven. If you happen to notice that your work has not been reblogged, please contact us right away, thank you, so we can add it to the event.

-If you are late in posting the prompt on the day for which you prepared it no problem, post the work anyway, we will be happy to receive it even outside the day of the prompts for which it was created.

And with that the de Romanus Coven wishes you all a good time, and we look forward to seeing you on August 24 for the start of the event dedicated to Marius de Romanus. Below you will find a preview of the event prompts, for those who want to start thinking about what appeals to them most.

Thanks again to everyone and see you soon!

Some final thoughts on the Acolyte.

I still think the show is flawed in its craft, but not in its core story!

I found it enjoyable, but some weeks had episodes that were weak and felt paded towards a fabricated cliff-hanger instead of a proper advancement of the story.

And in my opinion, it's most likely Disney's fault for not trusting them with more time and more budget. This show should have been longer and have more consistant, character driven story. Maybe an extra episode, definitely closer to 45-1h episodes instead of the 30min rush that some where.

In particular, the Witches and the nature of their relationships with the Jedi was left so undercooked, it was hard for me to get invested in the development of their story. It's hard to sit through scenes where kids "say stuff" that's basically lore dumps unsupported by the world. Then I have to write my own fanfiction in my head to explain away what the witches were doing and why the Jedi disapprove.

It's especially criminal because they have the PERFECT set up for this, in the form of this little buddy :

He's a *padawan* who finds his mission BORING. The discovery of a local coven should be an exciting development. And it's the perfect opportunity for his master to educate him, and through him us, about witches and why they are just a concern.

If the show had time, we would get to build up on Torbin, instead of him needing to speak out his own exposition minutes before having them exploited. This should have been a show's *ARC* not a single episode with hectic jumpcuts.

We could spend time learning WHY the Jedi dislike the witches. Spend time talking about Force Philosophy! Exploring alien lifestyles that the Jedi disprove of! Instead of the vague tone of "god forbid women do anything". Do the Witches have precendent? Bad history with the Jedi? Were they persecuted? Why don't we see, maybe a scene of an elder witch teaching them, and Osha loses attention in class while Mae listens, and we still hear the witch's voice, fainter and fainter, in the background, telling of those acts commited against them.

It would also serve to show Osha's disinterest for their heritage and why she's rather uncritical of the Jedi, so it's a scene of lore info AND character development!

Likewise, there's a critical lore discrepency that makes Osha ring so false in her backstory for me :

When on Brendook has Osha heard about the Jedi?? Where has she heard GOOD stuff about them? They seemingly live in a village radically opposed to them. She's 8 years old and born into a cult. What do you MEAN she wants to be a Jedi or even knows what they are???

I think she should either be completely clueless and be (again, over the course of an entire episode or more) exposed to them for the first time and come to get very hype, or there should be more people around the coven.

Case 1 : She's a kid getting a burst of sudden passion. Here's a new thing that she can throw all of herself into, and seems to offer her with more opportunities to be free than she has at home. The sacrifice of her family could be chalked up to her not really believing in it (she knows her planet's name and she could always come back) or she's just that sort of kid-like clueless and in a young rebellious phase.

Case 2 : The twins are isolated and treated as royalty-like. They are separate from the *other kids* in the Coven (or in the small town around the Coven). These kids are part of Osha's runaway regimen. She's a kid. If she can love going to sit under a tree just to escape her family, she'd go to other kids for sure. This could instill some jealousy or confusion in Mae. More importantly, those kids have heard there are Jedi on the planet, and they know about the Jedi. Their parents don't gatekeep info that much, and so Osha has learned about them and finds them cool, partially because they're forbidden.

This could still work with her and Mae being treated as appart/different and superior, and Osha could crave being equal with other kids and playing and not having to always share with Mae. It also makes the wipeout a bigger tragedy assuming we're not killing just witches but also 5 to 10 kids of all ages.

And that's another thing!! Having more time would mean making the whole last moments of the Coven less... nonsensical. Perhaps we'd have more time to spend into Indara's mind. Maybe we get some freedom to be fucky with it (think of the effects in Dune!)

Maybe we have time to give a shit about Kelnacca and everyone. Also maybe we have time to see Jecki and Sol interacting a little more on Coruscant, a bit of their routine? Maybe Sol's padawan gets more than a single throwaway scene?? Maybe her grief would be a great highlight of how the Jedi are expected to process the death of a master, and contrast with how Osha isn't even trying to process Jecki's death?

I don't think it's a good sign when you establish a coven of all women and a single line by the Sith guy makes everyone think he was present in the all-women coven because why else?? It's not a great misdirection, it's simply the audience having no understanding of the Coven and what it stood for.

Basically I don't think that exploring the lore of the world more in depth would have been detrimental to this show, despite its core of mystery. There are plenty of shows that hinge on twists and mystery that take their time diving down into their characters in greater depth.

The Acolyte is cool and the fights are amazing. The lore is great too, but it's too shallow to drown a squirrel in. It's "please write fanfic about it if you care" levels of shallow, even in the characters. It would have benefited from time to breath. 9 episodes of 40min to 1h is what Severance got, and that's a hell of a mystery based show!

I'm very happy though, in that I have hope that Headland may be given more freedom to do the second season as she pleases, if she gets it greenlit. If only she could be trusted more, and had the freedom to.. take her time... (and perhaps a better editor?) then we could have simply some of the best SW TV on our hands.

That's, of course, my humble opinion. This remains some of the best SW TV I've seen, but IMO besides Andor the bar is in fucking hell so it's not saying as much as I wish it did.

This is of course not a critique of the plot. I think it's sound and the mystery well thought out and the ending satisfying. This, however, makes my other criticism that much more heartfelt. If this same story had been done the way I describe above, (imo) it would be straight up great TV.

K.P. Masterlist

This fanfiction is born from my dissatisfaction with the way Kai was criminally underutilized in the TVDU. Honestly, I found him annoying at first, but he grew on me as season 6 went on. Thru Chris Wood's charming performance, Kai stole the show for me. I'll never forgive the showrunners for a lot of things, including underutilizing Chris Wood in this role & not allowing this broken king to have a real redemption arc.

On the topic of the showrunners, I'll never forgive them for how they did Bonnie Bennett or the Bennetts in general with how they were limited to magical plot devices for everyone else's use without any appreciative focus on their power & how it could really benefit them. Even though I love Bonnie & Kai, my otp endgame for her has always been Bonenzo, but I also adore Klonnie ❤️.

My AU changed and added plenty of lore around his coven & certain events. The plot follows the life of Bonnie's younger sister, Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz. I go on to describe her below, but I'd like to state that she acts as Kai's antithesis as an innocent, fledgling witch. She's also Bonnie's support system. I always hated how the show often ignored that Bonnie lacked family around her that were unconditionally there for her. Bonnie's mom left when she was small, she lost her grams in season 1, and her father was a non-factor in her life until he returned... just to get killed off in front of her.

I wrote Rose & Bonnie's dynamic keeping in mind everything I hate about older sibling/younger sibling dynamics, like the one between Buffy and Dawn in BTVS. Bonnie deserves family that consistently supports her, encourages her to prioritize her well-being, and actually tries to lessen the existing load on her shoulders.

Another thing I kept in mind when adding Rose to my TVD AU is not to have her replace or take away Bonnie’s space in the plot. Now, I do give her Bonnie's plotline of being sent to the prison world in season 6, but this is essential to the story, and the way Bonnie was treated that season made me so sad that I have no problem taking traumatic experiences from her (of which she has more than enough) and giving them to Rose.

Okay... if you made it through my rant, congrats. I also want to offer my inbox as a place where anyone can offer up requests, scenarios, ask questions, even if you want to roast my cruddy writing... my inbox is open.

🌹Rosalina "Rose" Bennett-Ruiz:🌹

Born: March 18th, 1994 (18yrs)

Gender: Female | Height: 5’1” | Hair color: Brown | Eye color: Hazel

Race/ethnicity: Black and Latino/Hispanic

Species: witch (Bennett)

Titles: Rosy (Kai), littlest witch (by Kol), kid (by Damon)

Characteristics:

Rose is a gentle and kind-hearted person, always looking for the good in people and situations. She can be a people pleaser and overall naive when dealing with people, often seeing the best in everyone and believing in second chances

She highly values family, so bonding with Bonnie means a lot her. Due to her naivety and weakness, she can be easily manipulated and taken advantage of. Like Bonnie she’s compassionate and tends to selflessly help others. Struggles with powerful spells due to her insecurity in her magical abilities

She enjoys singing, gardening (honing her nature-based magic, making potions & studying herbology), sewing and cooking (she bakes when she’s anxious)

She has a strong aversion to blood & violence so spending time with vampires took a lot of getting used to

Trilingual: fluent in Spanish & Portuguese

Despite her demure demeanor and virginal innocence, with her stuffed animal collection, enduring love of cartoons and a lack of dating, she’s a hopeless romantic that harbors the hidden desire to submit herself to a powerful dominant

Background:

Family: Bonnie Bennett (half-sister), Jamie Ruiz (half-brother), Abby Bennett-Ruiz (mother), Matteo Ruiz (father 🕊️), Sheila Bennett (maternal gm🕊️)

Rose was raised in Summersville, North Carolina. She was a child model until 13 when her father tragically died. She was the captain of her high school majorette dance team. Her life drastically changed when Bonnie arrived on her doorstep.

Rose was 16 when she & Bonnie would finally meet. Bonnie and Elena came to Abby for help with a spell. Rose was shocked to find that she had an older sister as Abby never mentioned Bonnie or the life she left behind in Mystic Falls. She was even more surprised upon finding out about her magical bloodline and that supernatural creatures walked the earth. Unlike Grams, Abby never mentioned magic throughout Rose’s life and even went as far to suppress her magic with a binding spell

After Abby is turned by Damon, she decides to leave her family to learn control and find peace as a fledgling vampire. Rose moves to Mystic Falls with Bonnie where she learns magic from her.

Magic doesn’t come naturally to her. Admittedly having a 50% accuracy rate with her spells. She struggles with her confidence & focus when chanting and spells drain her much quicker even when she tries channeling the energy around her. Despite this, Rose is determined to improve, valuing her one-on-one time with Bonnie and spending late nights on her own practicing & memorizing spells. She is determined to use her magic for good, prove herself and lessen the load on Bonnie as the resident Bennett witch of the group.

Her role in the Mystic Falls gang is the “Bennett witch in training” or “the bringer of baked goods” (according to Damon), since she often supplies their gatherings with fresh pastries. Everyone underestimates her power, even Bonnie. She tries to keep Rose out of danger unless she can’t help it.

🔪Malachai "Kai" Parker:🔪

Born: May 9, 1972 (22yrs)

Gender: Male | Height: 6'0" | Hair color: Dark Brown | Eye color: Blue-gray

Race/ethnicity: white/non-Hispanic

Species: siphoner (Gemini Witch coven)

Titles: abomination, black sheep, the defective twin (his coven)

Characteristics:

Charismatic with a charming smile. Upon meeting him, his charisma operates as a façade to hide his lack of empathy and his sadistic tendencies

Can be hard to read but that’s because he struggles with expressing his emotions which stems from his abusive childhood. He’s cold and relatively unfeeling with people, but once he lets someone in, he’s fiercely loyal and protective.

He can be observant, calculating and manipulative to taking advantage of someone and get what he wants

He’s a sassy man, often comes back with quick quips and has a natural sense of humor (typically dark humor)

When he’s comfortable, he never shuts up, has no filter and sucks with certain social cues. After being alone for nearly his whole life, will talk anyone's ear off without realizing they are not willing to listen

Kai can siphon all of a witch’s magic without killing them. He controls how the process feels - at its worst, a fast searing burn to a slight tingle. Overtime, a witch will regenerate their magic

High libido!!- He’s starved for touch and affection (though he would never admit that he needs anyone). Sexual desires reflect his sadistic personality as he enjoys dominating another person through absolute control and pain infliction

He likes raunchy comedies and media with half-naked women such as Bay Watch and MTV videos. A major foodie with constant cravings for sweet and salty snacks. He prefers snacking throughout the day but when he does bother to cook, it’s really good

He is fluent in old Latin, often found in grimoires and other ancient texts. When he was young he’d get his hands on old grimoires and study them, all the time to himself allowing him to hone his knowledge of witchcraft and technique

Background:

The Parker family is the head of the Gemini coven. Its patriarch, Joshua Parker is the coven leader. Kai is the eldest child, being half an hour older than his fraternal twin, Josette. Unlike Jo, Kai was born without the ability to generate his own magic, instead siphoning magic from lingering spells, objects, or other witches. When he was young, he would naturally gravitate toward the magic of his sister, so Joshua quickly decided to physically isolate Kai from everyone for fear of his son's "defect" hurting others.

As fraternal twins born of the coven leader, Jo and Kai would be set to merge on their 22nd birthday, where the winner takes the other's magic and coven leadership and the loser dies and is absorbed into the other but with the risk of Kai's siphoning ability giving him an edge in the merge, Joshua and Viviane continued having kids until she birthed another set of twins that would merge instead.

Kai's upbringing was lonely, spending most of his time locked in his bedroom up in the attic. Following his father's lead, most of his family excluded and demonized him. As he grew, Kai learned to internalize the cruel labels they gave him. If they wanted a monster, they would get a monster and on his 22nd birthday, May 9th, 1994, he would finally act on his boiling rage and resentment toward his family, unleashing the hatred he accumulated through a lifetime of torment onto his siblings when Jo refused the merge. To protect the twins, she would relent to merge with him but the coven was waiting and with the help of Sheila Bennett they banished him to a prison world of complete isolation.

Each year that passed only added to his hunger for revenge, left with nothing to do but plan his escape and seizer of coven leadership. He grew to take pride in what he had done to his siblings and his status as a sociopath capable of killing anyone who gets in his way without remorse.

AU-Specific Lore:

Prison world Lore:

Prison worlds are created by Bennett blood sacrifice, meaning a Bennett must be bled to death so the gemini coven can channel her blood magic.

A prison world resets with the eclipse every 3 months.

Time works differently, so no one ages throughout their time there.

A prison world cannot create life so the only living inhabitants are those sent there or arrive via ascendant.

Kai is linked to his prison world so he can’t die. If something kills him, he’ll be out for a while depending on the damage but the magic will heal him back to life. Without Kai, the prison world falls apart so while he’s there, it sustains his life to sustain itself. Once he leaves, it ceases to exist.

The Ascendant - an ancient device created by the Gemini coven and a Bennett ancestor that only responds to a living Bennett’s blood magic. The ascendant is sensitive to magic in general, so even when the spell is done right, it will activate then fall apart. You only have one chance at the time of the eclipse to correctly do the spell, which Kai knows from experience because early on he tried collecting a vial of Bennett blood that he hunted down in a hospital and using Josette's magic he siphoned from a hidden dagger. Disappointment boiled over into rage when he did the spell beneath the eclipse, the ascendant disassembled, but he was not transported out.

The Gemini Coven Lair:

Exists as a interdimensional where the coven keeps ancient texts, grimoires, enchanted items (talismans, gems, ascendants, etc.), and materials for spells & potions

Infinite space that can be utilized by the coven leader: often includes a space for magic instruction, a library, spell casting, a gathering area for the coven, etc.

Accessed only by portal, which is summoned by a spell entrusted to high-ranking Gemini members

Owl House different plot

In season one i had a complete different idea of how things would go but never posted it because i kind of new the chance of it actually happening where slim. Now i actually want to share it to see which of the completely different outcomes should have been better. Keep in mind this is without the knowledge of season 2,3 made so points of season 1 are different explained in later seasons than there are here. But i added characters of these seasons. The focus now is only on Luz, Hunter and Belos story because i don’t want it to get to long, but the story’s of everyone else gets changed as well.

First how the word issues looked like in season so that we know what Luz mission would be:

The world Luz enters is the demon realm or hell. For which it is surprisingly nice. No torture, there exits laws, community, protection and no public allowed eating of others. The person who wanted to hurt luz had to do it by contacting edar ( a known criminal ) first and than send here outside of city’s. Meaning the government was locking out for things like that not happening. The school are build on the concept of learning the different magic systems and than choosing one where you get stronger in. The only exception the emperors coven where you need really good notes for and end up which privileges and responsibility’s. The government is build on the coven heads ruling their own people and the emperors coven has its own head and even the control if everything is going as it should in kikimora. Belos is kind of a decision maker if the heads come to no agreement or oversear if the use their privileges correctly. The system is not bad. The people can actually get high positions to talent, they control each other and the power is shared. The only people who have the chance of hurting others more are technically the police, which has more people in it who control what is going on and what the are allowed to do. Magic is like guns. Everyone could technically have one but only the once who made a special training get the allowance of using it. Meaning in hell is not the one right who has the most power but a following of laws with the police stepping in and stopping fights. It makes sense of sealing powers of which are not needed to decrease the change of fight breaking out the police wouldn’t be able to stop. The power you keep is the one you need for your job but it doesn’t define you. You could be in a coven and be a baker or merchant. Edar could had been in the emperors coven but stayed a merchant, who is now under more strict supervailance but has the privilege of using her powers. This all makes sense on paper. The demon realm is hard to govern and it is easily to imagen what evil people like the wizard would do if they were allowed full power or no rules where given.

The bad thing is that:

1. No exception are made

A System should have exceptions for people. The show showed us the group of teenagers who used two covens which is a good idea. Bump didn’t change the intire school concept but made adjustments for those people. This should be a more common option.

2. Misusing of power

There are no true overseers. Not even Belos does his job right. Meaning people can misuse their given power. Like the warden. We doesn’t even know if the people who were captured where actually by breaking laws of Belos in there or if the warden just decides that were crimes. I go by the later since i cant imagen Belos creating laws build on what fanfiction can entail. Meaning the warden was clearly misusing his power ( he tried to force eda into a date so it is clear he has done power misusing before ).

3. To hard punishments

The killing of wild witches is to hard a punishment.

All these points are bad but doesn’t scream of a destroying of the system but of an improving. The bad things happen because Belos isn’t bothering with it and the punishment makes sense with his upbringing in mind. A new ruler is needed but Belos doesn’t deserve a punishment for not fixing these mistakes. His treatment of Eda was bad but understandable in the sense that she refused to join a coven and got a death sentence beforehand. Fixing her if the sentence is death would be pointless. We dont know if he would have fixed her, If she actually excepted.

Story:

Luz sees these bad things and decides to destroy the system. She is a person who is trapped in her own world and doesn’t see the point of others. Like bringing snakes or spiders into school which no understanding she could harm others. She isn’t a bad person but this is something she should learn. In episode one she learned she is not the chosen one but which how the story goes she never actually learned it and was even proven to be the one in the end. She saw Amity as hetake the rival to her hero. But never thought Amity was Asura and her the bully. Her intire friendship started with her seeing her live as a hero Journey, where she has to befriend the evil rival. The idea of her actually being the bully or the villain from other people perspective because she exedently hurts others is only used once and never brought back up again.

Her story could be that she wants to defeat the evil Belos. We follow her point of view so only in the aftermath do we get the view of the the situation from others. She learns that people actually like Belos and it wasn’t some evil mind control or stupidity going on. But the system Belos build is flawed but much better than what came before. By getting rid of him she actually harmed the world she loves. She learns she was the villain by not thinking everything throw nor knowing everything. This is normal she is only a kid in a new world where she doesn’t know the story nore has she seen everything. The idea that she automatically knows what is better for everyone is absurd.

She defeats Belos by tricking him into going into the human world and closing the portal after him. There he is arrested by the human Government.

After her Realisation that Belos rule wasn’t evil and that he is necessary for the survival of the demon real ( i explain later ). She has to emotionally confront her mistakes, which is an actually huge mistake instead of giving Belos the glyph. Her plan of getting him back is the main event. She is important because Luz is the only one who knows the human realm. The witches dont know guns, where everything is or how to blend in. Luz becomes the hero because she is human and can lead everyone to victory. Not because she suddenly gets more magic. Her speciallity is her knowledge of both places and the people, building up the army of witches in such a way that their power fit to the task. She cant even use glyph in this world but she decently takes the lead because of her personality. She isn’t chosen to fight but end up here because she of her actions. learning of other people strenges and making a Mistake by judging Belos.

Belos story is actually more about his past.

In this vision he is actually the chosen one by the titan. The Titan is a corpse and all the people living one him are technically orgasm who are dependent of him. If he completely rots they all die as well. His Magic is keeping the place alive and everyone is constantly using up magic. What if the witches are connected to the titan Magic and are using up the Magic he needs to remain. Since he is death he can’t replenish his Magic reserves. He need to connect to something alive so it can replenish is reserves for him. No witches where an option since they have Buile sacks already. So he chose to open a portal to the human world and connect to a human. ( we even saw in Luz story a human and a portal ). This is belos who now can do the most powerful magic but being connected with something death is hurting him. Explaining his pain and plan. He planned to mix the worlds together so that the witches could live on earth and he doesn’t have to keep the titan going any longer, choosing to die. His creation Hunter would rule once he died and make sure the witches settle into the new world.

Belos decision to rule is build opon the fact he can make sure people use lass Magic, get everything better together for his plan to mix the worlds and his want to make the place better. He saw in his long live much abuses and thought he could install laws. He is in this version someone who tried and partly succided in making a better world. His flaw is that as the chosen one he did the opposite Luz did. He never talked to others giving him no change of improving or explains his reasoning. He just thought he knowed best and has to do everything alone. Mixing this flaws with his uprising, horrible experience, constant pain and thinking of having to fix everything as chosen one, in one package. Making him not a villain but someone who needs a break.

When Luz saves him from the human government he actually is charing his mind with someone else. She decides that the human world is not ready to be mixed and if belos is in pain because of his connection to the titan she can share his connection because she is human as well.

Luz becomes part of the titan and her new job is to find people in the human world who would want to be part of the demon realm. Choosing people who get connected to the power of the Titan. Giving them Magic powers but by sharing lessening the pain. Everyone she chooses becomes part of the chosen one concept, being the reason for the titan existing. She does this because Belos sees her as the only one who has a good enough personality to make such a decision.

The end is Luz being special because of her Jugment of people where she made a mistake once and her ability to connect to others. Given her a part in both worlds as chosen one finder. Hunter improves the System with Edas help and Belos decides to go into rent instead of dying. Which this much sharing going on he is no longer in pain and can actually injoy his live for once, even teach other humans how to use titan power.

Everyone who actually read this what do you think. Is this a good Story based on what we were given in Season one.

You rock BTW.

Wondering if you could recommend any fics where Stiles meets someone online and falls in love (think like a cinderella story, she loves me) . AU or Cannon is fine. Ships of Sterek, Steter or Stargent preferred but all ships are fine.

 Hi @she-who-reads-fanfiction! @kevaaronday made this list for you.

my heart’s been offline by thepsychicclam (1/1 | 58,893 | Explicit | Sterek) 31/M/New York. Rich, lays in bed all day, likes to read (aka Derek Hale, son of an Oscar winning actress, brother of one obnoxious reality star and one rebellious fashion designer, hates the paparazzi so much he's a recluse)

26/M/California. Boring office job, likes to read (aka Stiles Stilinski, co-owner of a 100 acre organic farm with his dad and two best friends, writer of obits for a newspaper, has absolutely no life)

Or, where Derek and Stiles meet online, and Stiles has no clue Derek's part of a famous family.

if only by petals (1/1 | 46,665 | Mature | Sterek) “I could totally stop talking to him,” Stiles interjects, feeling a sudden overwhelming urge to defend himself and brush the whole thing off as nothing. “I could. Easily. That’s the beauty of talking to someone online; you can just, like, talk to them for however long you want and then disappear for however long you want without any real impact on your daily life. It’s not like I’m going to run into him at the grocery store. I could stop at any moment.”

“But you don’t,” Lydia points out.

“No, he doesn't,” Scott replies, forcing Stiles to scowl at him. “He just got a new one this morning and he hasn’t stopped talking about it.”

Or, the one where Stiles has been talking to some guy that he doesn't know online, but that's the least of his worries when a new pack moves into Beacon Hills, and Stiles suspects the alpha of bringing a coven of witches with him.

Somewhere In Between by amazingpages (1/1 | 33,029 | Teen | Sterek) Derek’s been letting his job dictate his life ever since he was promoted from freelance photographer to official travel photographer. In his five years of travel, he’s built relationships in countries all across the globe, yet he still returns home after each job as lonely as ever. When he decides to try out the pen pal site Laura recommends to him, he doesn't know what to expect. Derek isn't prepared for Stiles, a small town guy with big dreams of seeing the world. And he certainly isn't prepared to fall in love with him. He has to remind himself that this is just a pen pal thing and not to get carried away. It's not like Stiles could ever like him back.

Right?

I Should Meet You Because I Love You by derekstilinski (10/10 | 22,573 | Mature | Sterek) Derek and Stiles meet online, and then in real life.

a voice on the phone by To_fill_the_sea (3/3 | 14,498 | Explicit | Steter) After the Hale fire Peter distances himself from the entire pack. He remains in the pack but travels and keeps in contact. While he is away the pack grows and gains a new emissary. This emissary is one Stiles Stilinski and he develops quite the friendship with Peter over the phone. They've talked almost daily for years and have never seen each other's faces and feelings have been developing along the way, but something happens that forces them to finally meet. What happens then?

Don't Say a Word (Just Dance With Me) by cathcer1984 (1/1 | 11,922 | Mature | Steter) AllHailTheKing has left the following comment on your post I want:

If you're amenable, I want to give this to you. Will you let me?

With a frown Stiles clicks on the link to the post, it opens automatically in a new tab and his faces heats when he sees what he wrote.

I want...

I want someone to woo me. Send me flowers, hold my hand, take me dancing and to dinner. Talk to me about books and movies, intellectual and silly things. 

I want someone to fall in love with. 

I want the excitement of dating without the expectation of sex.

I don't want sloppy hand jobs from frat boys who don't know what they're doing with a dick that isn't theirs. 

I want someone who will wait to take me apart with their hands and mouth. I want to be held at night and wake up next to him the next morning. I want sleepy morning sex and soft kisses, breakfast in bed and comfortable silence. 

*

Or the one where Stiles has a blog and one of his posts makes a reader want to woo him.

The Postman Always Rings Twice by Finduilas (1/1 | 6,583 | Teen | Sterek) Stiles and Derek meet online, through fandom. They share their online life together: fics, fanart, squeeing over actors; but they haven't met in real life yet. Or have they...?

I Settle for Long Distance Calls by iamursforevrmre (1/1 | 4,369 | Gen | Sterek) Derek is the guy who Stiles met on some random band page on MySpace because Derek made a ridiculously hilarious comment and with a spurt of confidence, Stiles had messaged him to tell him just how hilarious it was and they got to talking. Derek is the guy that made a FaceBook account just to talk to Stiles on the messenger so they could talk more when MySpace was slowly dying out. Derek is the guy that changed his text message plan to unlimited when he finally sent Stiles his cell phone number. Derek is the guy that has been on the phone with Stiles at any and all hours through the day. 

And Derek is the guy that Stiles is in love with.

camera shy by rjosettes (1/1 | 3,741 | Teen | Scallison) When Stiles can't bear Reddit anymore, he resorts to Tumblr for his porn and gaming needs. He has no idea what he's getting himself into when he follows photgrapher aargentsf on a whim, but nonetheless...he thinks he's gonna like it.

Two in One by sterekstyles (1/1 | 2,444 | Not Rated | Sterek) Prompt: Some kind of online relationship, where either they don't know each other irl or they do but they don't know it's them who they are talking to (and crushing on) online!

watching you light it up by S3anchaidh and piratetattoos (1/1 | 2,084 | Teen | Sterek) "Light of my life, fire of my loins, you're not getting cold feet are you?" Stiles says, and Derek rolls his eyes. Stiles should be immune to how Derek looks, but damn, he could never be. They've been friends for three years now, and they've been there for each other every step of the way, celebrating the little victories like when Derek got his name legally changed, when Stiles went on testosterone, when Derek got approved for top surgery. 

*

(or: the one where they meet under different circumstances, in a different world, but they still fall in love.)

Your Taste by redeyedwrath (1/1 | 1,335 | Gen | Sterek) In which, Derek is Stiles' online boyfriend - even though Stiles doesn't know what he looks like - and they meet for the first time

Just Some Guy (1/9)

Summary: Matt Christopher Davis lives a simple life, since he doesn't do much. He wants to study magic at Watford, find a girlfriend, and hang out with his best friend John Johnson at the Watford Chess Club. After all, unlike his famous classmate Simon Snow, he's just some guy.

Notes: Hello, hello and welcome to Just Some Guy, the story of all years of Snowbaz at Watford told from an outsider perspective of someone who doesn't really care about them. I came up with this idea back in 2022 and I am glad I can finally share it. I was inspired by Niamh Brody not keeping track of the Chosen One bullshit and by Patrick Ness's book The Rest Of Us Just Lives Here. I hope you guys like Matt as much as I do.

The name Matt Christopher Davis is courtesy of @mostlymaudlin​, @raenestee​ and @aristocratic-otter​, with the idea to use MCD as initials from @facewithoutheart. I asked the Carry On Discord for suggestions for a basic bitch name, and they delivered. Matt is sometimes referred to as Matty Chris D., a nickname from @cutestkilla.

Lastly, it's time for a good ole fanfiction disclaimer, but not because of Rainbow Rowell, but because of Ngozi Ukazu. John Johnson belongs entirely to her. He's originally a character from her webcomic Check, Please!, which y'all should totally check out. The reason Johnson is in this fic is because, well, I thought it'd be funny, especially since Johnson is as usual aware of his fictionality. "John Johnson" is the most basic bitch name possible, and I almost picked it for MCD till I realised there's already a John Johnson.

And with all that, enjoy.

Year 1

MATT

To be honest, I can’t quite believe I am finally at Watford. My parents give me a final hug before it’s time for them to leave.

“You’re going to have an amazing time,” my mum says as she pets my hair.

I shrug. It’s not as if there’s going to be anything interesting happening in my life. You could state that I am the most generic person ever, and that is fine by me. Not everyone needs to have a grand adventure, and that is definitely what I realise when I see Simon Snow walk around the Great Lawn.

Of course I know about the Chosen One. Of course I know that the Chosen One starts Watford in the same years as me, but I don’t really care about him. I’m here to learn magic, make friends, and maybe meet my future spouse, which is a must for the World of Mages.

After all, I am just some guy.

--

I leap into this new magickal life. The Crucible casts me together with John Johnson, who claims he’s in the wrong universe, which is off-putting, but we still become fast friends.

“Like, I should be playing hockey,” John grumbles during breakfast somewhere in the year. I nod absently. John talks a lot about hockey.

“Sure,” I say. There are plenty of other sports to join, but I don’t really know. I have eight more years to figure out what to do, so I am not in a rush.

“Whatever man, you’re about to go on your own narrative journey. It’s going to be amazing for the both of us!” John says excitedly, “Look at me, I’m British now! I am eleven!”

I shove some toast down my throat and I look around the dining hall. There are so many students. My eyes fall on the Chosen One who’s talking to a girl, who nods along to every word. I don’t really keep track of what the Chosen One is doing with his life, but I’m glad he’s made a friend. The first few weeks of classes were unbearable because of his sheer magic exuding into the classrooms. We’ve all gotten used to it now, but it did isolate him a bit.

I don’t know the girl’s name, but she doesn’t seem to mind the magic.

I take a look at the Chosen One. He has only been part of the World of Mages for a few months, but he’s already gotten himself in a lot of trouble because of this whole Insidious Humdrum stuff. He’s constantly missing classes and Miss Possibelf says he’s on missions for the Mage and the Coven.

I hear him coming home quite late. Yes, John and I live across the corridor. It’s honestly quite annoying to live on top of a tower. There are so many staircases to climb. I occasionally hear the Chosen One bicker with his roommate.

What a life he must be living.

But honestly, I don’t care. I mean, I care about the Humdrum, because that thing eats magic, but our Chosen One can be the hero who saves the day. The rest of us just lives here, you know?

--

“Mate!” John slams the door open. The window in our small shared room almost seems to shatter. Did John do that?

I nod towards the window, but John shakes his head.

“No, it’s a dragon!” John screams.

I jump out of my seat. That’s when I hear the roar. Our window shatters for real this time and I duck to avoid the glass.

“The Humdrum sent a dragon to Watford!” John grabs my hand, “We have to run!”

“Where to?” I yell as he leads me through the corridors of Mummer’s Hall. We descent the many staircases, not knowing where to go. Right now, we just want to get outside before the building collapses. Merlin’s pants, what will happen to us now? The Humdrum was always this entity sucking the magic out of the atmosphere, but if John’s to be believed, it (he?) can now also attack? That’s never happened before!

More students are making their way outside. There are screams and panicked cries. John doesn’t seem too bothered by it. Instead, he is determined to get me out of here as fast as possible, and he succeeds. He manoeuvres us between the many, many students and the teachers who are trying to keep everyone calm.

We finally make it outside and more students are evacuating to Crowley knows where.

To my shock, it seems like John is leading me towards the Great Lawn.

I try to stop him. I’m pretty sure that the dragon is right there.

“Are you mad?” I yell, “We can’t go there!”

But John is stronger than I am and he drags me towards the Great Lawn. I was right. The dragon is there, with its wings spread wide. The Chosen One is in the air. He must’ve jumped from somewhere. His skin is shimmering and his eyes are glowing. He has the Sword of Mages raised over his head.

Then he plummets it into the dragon’s neck.

The dragon’s eyes widen and it lets out a horrendously loud roar.

Then I watch the dragon fall to its side.

A hush falls over the Great Lawn. Students and teachers alike are stunned into silence. Even the Chosen One’s chatty best friend looks shocked.

“Wicked,” John mutters next to me.

I blink a couple of times. Is this the life of the Chosen One? Of the elusive Mage’s Heir?

Speaking of, the Mage runs towards the Chosen One to help him clean up the dragon. Where was that man? He’s our headmaster, for Crowley’s sake!

“Well, that’s enough adventure for today,” John says. He’s broken out of his shock and he isn’t the only one. The Chosen One and the Mage leave the Great Lawn. The Chosen’s One’s friend (sidekick?) (isn’t that how it works with chosen ones and heroes and what not?) rushes after them. Slowly, everyone’s coming back to their senses and it’s clear that people talk about what just unfolded, but life goes on, even though the Chosen One just saved the school.

I need a bloody nap.

--

My parents pick me up at the Gates. It’s summer vacation and I am glad. I like Watford, but I love my family as well. We talk plenty over the phone, but it’s good to see them.

We drive home in silence. There is a weird tension between my parents, but I brush that thought aside. I just haven’t seen them in a while.

Eventually, my dad breaks the silence.

“And how would you describe your first year at school, Matty?” my dad asks.

I think about classes, and John, and my daily life here.

“Uneventful,” I answer. I didn’t do much.

What are your core problems with The Owl House?

I'm feeling sick so I'm doing one that's weirdly a little simpler. Not simple but simpler. (It did not stay simple. Shocking, I know.) So if I were to be objective, I think the core problem with TOH is ego. I've been saying it a LOT recently on my Discord that "Ego is the death of art." Eventually, once you get your head shoved so far up your ass, you just stop being able to produce something good because you can't even make the statements you're wanting to make. That's the real death knell for TOH. It is so focused on being special and being meaningful that it forgets to be fun but it's also so self satisfied and convinced that its elements are sacrosanct that they don't question how they're using those elements or what they're actually saying. There's a reason why I'm personally happy as an author that I normally figure out themes within my works post figuring out what they're going to be like because my first goal is just making sure the story is COHERENT. And TOH doesn't give a FUUUUUUU- But subjectively... It's the characters for me that are the core of what lost me with TOH and what attracted me at first. S1 doesn't have the greatest cast. I literally brought in a two off antagonist in Boscha to have a third main character in my stories and focused WAY more on the Blights than literally ever including King in Power of Love. But... That is also is fine because just Amity and Luz in S1 by themselves has an incredible amount of potential as well just being incredibly likable. In fact, for all the shit I gave Eda and King a literal day ago, S1 of them are... enjoyable enough. King's joke is well and truly played out by then so I literally could not care about him but he is the best comic relief in S1. Not a high bar but he does clear it. Meanwhile, Eda has enough interesting going on with the curse to make her flaws not as apparent. Lilith is a compelling antagonist and the possibility of her bringing her more interpersonal comedy style into the main cast was exciting. Gus and Willow are barely characters but they're written likably and don't ever do anything truly wrong which could be said about them for the whole show.

And that also just kind of brings up the awkward element of S1. You have Amity and the curse but otherwise... It all feels like setup. Like we're seeing the first traces of these characters but we still haven't gotten a good, deeper impression of any of them yet. Including the world quite frankly. For fanfiction this was AMAZING. Everything was setup to go in a billion different ways, especially with Amity and Luz (individually or together) and it was exciting to theorize about. I tempered my expectations of course, I doubted I'd ever get the true nuance of my own version of Odalia and Alador but... I expected something a little smarter. The show seemed like it trended that way after all. That a bit more care and realism was put into the characters of the show. And then S2A is... more setup. Or just entirely changing characters to new forms of themselves that we still don't really know. All we do know is that they're less compelling. Amity becomes literally nothing more than Luz's girlfriend and how easy her change becomes more and more apparent with each passing episode. We get Momma Eda in one of her like... Two, maybe three appearances as any sort of criminal in S2 and they're ALWAYS motivated by someone else's scheme. I guess maybe not with Reaching Out but I'd have to check. The point is that the firebrand version of Eda is FIRMLY dead. Lilith becomes a total joke who's hard to even give credit to for the curse because Affearances is making her nothing more than a pathetic woman with unresolved mommy issues because... Sure. That's what the ex-coven head is just like now. Willow has ALL traces of either her morality or really any personality just gone for half a season, in part because she has no part in this season. She even insults Gus for his illusions in Escaping Expulsion in a scene where I SWEAR they swapped Amity and Willow's lines. Not that either should be pushing for bum rushing the door but it makes more sense coming out of plant goddess Willow than theoretically smart girl Amity.

And then you have Luz who is acting even more indignant this half season? Like not a lot has changed but the shifting tone is catching up to how they write Luz. How she can so quickly get annoyed at things not going her way or people not treating her like she's special. How she'll use her friends for personal gain. How she needs to be better than everyone else, both in her eyes and the writer's eyes. All while this isn't getting properly getting interrogated by the characters or even a bit of snark from Eda like it would in S1. It frankly reminds me of something I would say about bad porn: It's Barbie dolls being mashed together. They may have a little flair, like this one is wearing a skull hat or this one is non-binary, but as far as real personality goes... It didn't matter. You could swap out anyone and the writers would force it to work regardless. What personality was there was becoming increasingly cookie cutter or accidentally mean and cruel, just like toxic beauty standards. It's not Barbie's fault that sticks on a torso is the beauty standard to America but it also has no interest in being smart enough to make an appealing doll while avoiding reinforcing the worst parts of it.

And like bad porn, the reason this is done is similar. Rather than actually dealing with the emotions and complexities present in the topics and actions that are desired for the story, they make it so the characters just do it anyways. In porn, you get fucking. In The Owl House, you get... Subversion and representation I guess. But like sex with no setup or emotion, you need to only want the face value elements of these things or else you're just going to feel like you're watching other people having a MUCH better time than you while you're wondering why you're there. Also, yes, this is a weird metaphor. It's mostly done I believe. I do want to mention though that this is why my erotica series struggled to have a lot of sex scenes because those books took themselves and their characters and concepts pretty seriously so I couldn't just ignore the characters if they just weren't in the mood.

The fact that the main payoffs are emotional and metatextual statements that are poorly setup is a REAL problem. It has the feeling of a highschooler who's spent too much time on Twitter seeing their seven year old baby sister playing with her dolls and stopping her from doing that to then put the Barbie on a soapbox and lecture their sister about how dolls are oppressing her and having fun like this is awful. It's not just boring, it's literally anti-fun. Worse yet, it's not smart enough about the topics not to feel mean spirited and somewhat misguided in how its doing it. As an example, they wanted good queer rep. Unfortunately, Amity turned into an incredibly bland trophy for Luz, as boring a pointless as any straight female love interest frankly, and Raine is criticized by much of the fandom for obviously existing only for Eda. They're not just turned into a sexy lamp: That's almost their point from go with how little time they AREN'T just about Eda. This all culminates in the real turning point of the series. Now yes, I've said the point of no return is Escaping Expulsion but that episode is more the objective core issue's turning point. It's the show going "We're not as smart as we think we are and so are going to murder some of the elements that are stopping us from doing whatever we want to... But that doesn't mean we're gonna have fun with it either. Instead, we're going to act lazy, bitter and make the laziness and forced aspects of this episode way too apparent as we move on to what makes us feel special like Lumity." For the characters, Yesterday's Lie is the final nail in the coffin. I've talked before about how Vee's callout of Luz not only makes the problems of S2A being awkward with Luz's character more questionable, it throws her entire CONCEPT into question. Whether she ever was made an outcast because of others or because she told other outcasts to go fuck themselves. Why didn't she know anyone like Mascha after all? They clearly exist in Gravesfield. Why was she trying to be a cheerleader when she clearly isn't interested in sports or athletics. At least most of the time. S1 seems really fucking confused about whether or not she's a nerd or a truly basic bitch school kid who likes everything at least a little bit. But you didn't question it until the new statement that wanted to be made with Luz was "We have a dramatic, changing protagonist who is not just a ball of sunshine but also capable of extreme levels angst and change. She's not just another cartoon main character."

Boy that statement is reeking of ego though, isn't it? Especially when the point Luz isn't going to become "Reality matters over fantasy, others are more important than me," but instead her character finish is "I literally need everyone to recognize that I'm the most special person on the planet and I will only properly listen to anyone who is like me since I blatantly ignored everything my mom said until she earned my attention by being a closet nerd." Luz's character finish is REEEEEALLY BAD.

And no, I don't blame this on the shortening. Just look at fucking Amphibia. It has a VERY vivid cast that mostly keep to their own roles that are dictated by their personalities and despite the lack of time characters like Sasha get, the show knows how to sell their personalities, their relationships, what they're doing, etc. like that almost instantly and part of that's because it's having fun. It's willing to take things to the extreme from go. Sasha's INTRODUCTION is convincing someone to turn themselves into a CLOWN and leave their entire life behind so as to make it so she's no longer guarded. You are sold IMMEDIATELY on this being some master manipulator... But then she also saves Grime and her manipulations are through kindness rather than cruelty like most others which reinforces the loose threads we already had on Anne and her's relationship. You can see she's such a close friend... But why she's not a GOOD friend. And you know all of this by the end of S1 where she gets ONE AND A HALF EPISODES. That is frankly more than I can say about, especially firmly, the majority of TOH's cast by the end of S1. MAYBE Luz and definitely Amity clear the bar but that's the main character and her love interest. Not King. Not Eda. Not even Belos, the main fucking antagonist. I could have speculated on him but I could have told you more about Grime through the toads, Sasha and effectively his ONE episode than I can about the leader of the ENTIRE ISLES.

It really does continue to make me wonder why I'm not compelled to write Sashannarcy instead of Lumischa, the two share a lot of similarities after all, when even S1 has Sasha and Anne as so much more dynamic than Luz and Amity. I guess I liked the playground though. There was more empty space for me to play in with my own writing and I definitely will admit that the fandom, for both TOH and Amphibia, have made me feel far more connected to the shows than the actual products. I'm just weird that way I guess and it's probably why I keep ending up here. Where the show has gone fallow on me and I no longer see the characters as fun people with potential but instead just mean spirited Barbie Dolls.

It happened to me with MLP and it happened to me with TOH. *sigh*

Okie, new Halo fanfiction idea,

So I love the reincarnation/transmigration stories and I just had a dream about it with Halo. Now I want to write a transmigration fanfiction with reader.

So, you wake up in this darkish room, and above you is a stone tablet that looks familiar but of course, you have no idea where you are and start panicking, rolling off the bed. There is a desk and the small room is dimly lit when you realize it's a dormitory room and end up bumping the desk. It turns out to be a console that lights up, the words 'Good morning Cadet [L/n]. Time is 0428 Date 2523 August 10th in Circinius IV system. Several Notifications pending.' the words are kinda just floating until you touch them and they swipe to a different screen that you realize it's like a hologram. It takes some digging before you find the words Corbulo Academy of Military Science and pieces start falling into place when 0500 hits an beeping alarm goes off and a voice saying as the door opens, "Good morning Cadets, it is now 0500, proceed to your teams morning run and report to the mess hall at 0700." and you see other people sleepy talking as they pass by before a girl peaks her head into your room.

"Wow, [Y/n], you're actually up on time," She looks over her shoulder." "Orenski, the world is ending, [L/n] is awake." Then snickering is heard before she looks back at you with a raised brow and laughs, "You look concerned, maybe you did just wake up, come on, our squad leader isn't going to wait on us." Then disappears and you have to navigate this new world and figure out how to survive, plus live with the prospect if you survive the covenant attack, you get to meet the Master Chief.

There is alot more but this might be my next project.

Hi hi!! Can I get 2, 11, and 22 for the fanfiction writers questions? (Also I love your fic bite my tongue!!)

Hi 👋 thanks so much! (so so happy people are coming from bite my tongue,, i enjoyed writing that fic so so much)

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

I’ve always been super interested in what-ifs and alternate universes, even before I knew what what-ifs, fix-its and aus were. Like in movies, ‘what if mufasa didn’t die in lion king?’ or ‘what if tiana got caught in princess and the frog?’. I love writing canon divergence especially for that reason, but i also love just adding in additional scenes to flush out canon and slow down to introspection and deepen our characters relations and introspection. idk i just feel like so many fandoms have the potential to take so many different routes that can only be properly explored in fanfiction

11. Who or what do you find yourself writing the most?

I always eventually gravitate back to 1) found family, and 2) sappy lesbians. why? I’m not too sure. I think I instinctively reach for found family for the same reasons as most people: having people love you despite your flaws, blood of the covenant vs water of the womb, outcasts banding together, begrudging fathers looking after wilful children (my favourite trope to ever exist.) As for sapphics, I think it’s interesting that so much wlw content online is either tragic or full of gore, so you have to try and be the change you want to see in the world, and that means writing more sweet sappy stuff for my favourite girl pairs. that and a shit load of emotional angst.

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

Yes! I tend really far towards soundtracks from movies, but which movie and which song depends on the scene i’m writing. i can get really picky with it so sometimes picking the song takes longer than actually writing lmao. i lean a lot on hans zimmer and the christopher nolan soundtracks, especially inception, but for something more intense i go dunkirk, or more otherworldly i go dune. as for sad, the pacific of the lion king. so a real mix! songs with words are far more difficult to listen to and concentrate with, so soundtracks are good because they both help me concentrate and set the mood for whatever scene i’m about to write!

thanks so much!

68 - Humanity Here We Go Again

Part 69

Her Life Means Everything

@mrs-fanfiction-2001 @the-big-bad-klaus @dragonixfrye @samsgirl93 @elijahmikaelsonbitch

Maddie’s POV

Sitting inside the heretic girl's tiny apartment she handed me a blood bag and then gave one to my sister before sitting down at the table across from us. Holding the bag in my hands I eyed her still confused. “So my sister said that you are the last living heretic. Half witch and half vampire. Because as far as I kne witches lose their magic when they turn.”

“She’s right. Although I am surprised we haven’t met until now considering I was there to help your sister through the Gemini twins birth.” The heretic scoffed at my direction.

Pushing some hair out of my eyes I was baffled that I could make my pregnancy sound so normal after all these years. When it first started none of it was simple, not even the birth. “Basically I am the soulmate to the original vampire hybrid Klaus Mikaelson. He got me pregnant when I was still human and he was born a werewolf so we got to have two twin daughters. So during her pregnancy I was having to deal with witches in New Orleans who thought my children would destroy the supernatural world. I couldn’t exactly take a vacation from something like that.”

“That is incredible. I would give anything to be able to have a child. My life once I turned didn’t allow me to keep Stefan Salvatore’s baby. So I will gladly help any supernatural person who is allowed to have children.” Valerie smiled reaching across the table, taking her hand in mine then looking at my twin.

Caroline sent her a gentle look bringing up the reason we were here. “So what do you know about being able to prevent a merge between Gemini twins. The family curse on my daughters.”

“Unfortunately I have been asking the witches all across the world and since there aren’t any living relatives from that coven, not much is known. The only way to stop it is if one of the girls becomes undead. Such as a vampire. Otherwise there is no other solution.” Valerie slumped her shoulders in defeat seeing our smiles fade.

My phone started ringing in my pocket by the time we were leaving the heretic’s apartment. It was almost dark as we walked to the parked car. Pressing the phone to my ear with my shoulder Caroline got in the driver seat starting the drive home. “Who is this?”

“Hello my love, I am wanting to know if you are home yet. I am wishing to paint the town red with you.” I blinked, recognizing the voice of my husband through the other end of the phone.

Leaning forward in the passenger seat I could hear the difference in his tone of voice. Him mentioning to paint the town red usually was a joke but this time the delivery was much more serious meaning something had happened with the girls. “Nik, what happened? How are the girls? Did we win?”

“The girls are doing their own thing, I am only concerned with when you are returning to our house. Because I am so wanting to show you the world and then do what vampires can do.” He responded through the phone where I lowered the phone.

Whipping my head in the direction of my sister, she could see my espression. “We have to get back to Mystic Falls now!” She drove as fast as we could until she parked the car outside of the mansion rushing off to go check on the school to make sure everyone else was alright. Bursting through the front door of the mansion I used my vamp hearing trying to find him by calling out. “Klaus!”

Before my eyes he vamped in front of me with some blood on his shirt. There was some blood on his chin too which was odd considering we had gotten used to drinking from blood bags. “Hello Maddison. I have been missing you since you left.”

“Nik, what happened with our daughters? And why do you have blood on you -“ I gasped when he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me up so my legs wrapped his waist. He quickly vamped me onto my back of the bed discarding his shirt when I met his gaze.

He captured his lips with mine in a long kiss until I tugged on his hair making him break it wiping the blood from his mouth than mine. His blue eyes gazed down at me tearing my shirt in half kissing me again. “I enjoyed a little chase while you were gone, Mads. Now less talking.”

“Chase…you went after a local - oh my Nik!” I gasped, cutting myself short when he kissed down my neck making me forget for a second that he wasn’t acting like himself. I mean he would be needing to talk about what happened with Malivore first and then we would have gotten into this. But that wasn’t the weird part, it was the fact that he didn’t seem to care that he drank from a human. Once I was turned he decided to follow my lead and drink more from the bags.

Pulling his head up I connected our lips together again. He moved one hand into my hair deepening the kiss until he held my hands above my head making love to me like we did the first. Blinking my eyes after a few hours of sleep I rolled over onto the bed seeing that he wasn’t laying there. Grabbing one of his shirts I threw it on walking down the stairs halting in my tracks at what I walked into the kitchen. “Klaus, what the hell?”

“I was just having a drink, Maddie. Come on, you can join me then we go back upstairs for round two.” He removed his fangs from a girl's neck not caring that there were at least four other dead bodies on the floor that he clearly had drained without remorse.

Wrapping my arms around myself I bite my lip not really thinking that we would be back to this. I could see that he wasn’t the same person when I left yesterday. “Nik I…you turned it off again…why?”

“I did, Mads. Oh wait well I should correct that to Nikola made me turn.” He dropped the girl he was drinking to the side of the kitchen table. “She made me remember how much I enjoyed it. Oh and Hope is also enjoying the life with her.”

Running my fingers through my hair I threw my head back not believing that this happened a second time. “I can’t believe this…I have to tell Caroline.” Turning on my feet I head towards the stairs to get changed.

“Join me, Maddie. Let’s have some fun like we used to. We don’t have to keep being the responsible people all the time. Turn it off with me.” He gently grasped my arm making me suck in a breath.

Yanking my arm from his I vamped upstairs and back to the school leaving him there and to my surprise he didn’t follow me. “I can’t turn it off again, Nik. I’m sorry.”

Comments really appreciated ❤️

My Fanfics so far...!

Hello, I know I haven't uploaded much in here for a while, but I would like to share to you my upcoming projects in case you're interested. I normally use Wattpad, because it's the platform I'm most used to (I've been using it since I was eleven years old); and it's the one that gives me the tools to conceptualize my stories the way I want to.

(I know people don't really think that Fanfiction is real writing, but for me it is! And I conceptualize my whole stories, create my characters very deeply and construct a whole universe around them. You could also check my pinterest to check their respective moodboards because, being a designer, conceptualization is everything for me)

Most of these have only one or two chapters uploaded, but the whole story is settled and I only have the writing left.

Amortentia. (A Marauders Fanfiction)

A story in which a muggleborn tries to get a grasp on her surroundings and gains more reasons to fear the unknown, as well as it slowly lures her in. Settled during the Marauders era, and going from first year to the years after Hogwarts.

LIRWELL AND ANGEL'S PORT SERIES.

The Lirwell and Angel's Port series is a saga of Fanfictions intertwined, that occur inside the same universe, and mainly inside the city "Lirwell" and the town "Angel's Port". It's filled with horror and paranormal shit because that's my jam. Both cities are fictional and created by me. It has a lot of lore, so I would recommend to read them all. Coven. (A My Chemical Romance Fanfiction) A story settled in 2008. It's a paranormal college Au, in which the band sees themselves tangled with a coven of witches inside an unsettling city where everything seems to go wrong. Copycat. (An Andrew Garfield, Robert Pattinson and Tom Sturridge Fanfiction) A story settled in 2014. It's about a horror podcast and how their hosts keep defying the current serial killer in the city that keeps coming closer and closer to them. Demonia. (An Oscar Isaac Fanfiction) A story settled in the present day, where Simone and Oscar work together but she slowly submerges into paranoia when she starts studying demonology. Truth. (A Kit Harington Fanfiction) A story settled in the present day. It's about an ambitious journalist lured by the darkness that surrounds this city and a young policeman that keeps giving testimony of extraterrestrial sightings. Poltergeist. (A Tom Holland and Timothée Chalamet Fanfiction) A story settled in the present day. About a three college students living inside a haunted house, where one believes, one doesn't and the other is just tired. Unknown. (A Finn Wolfhard Fanfiction) A story settled in the present day. This story is about a girl who is new in town, discovering the marveling world surrounding her, and a boy trying to lure her into hunting cryptids with him. Blood. (A Louis Partridge Fanfiction) A story settled in the present day, where Pascal finds Louis, who disappeared a week before, and shelters him from the serial killer who kidnapped him.

Chaos. (A Marvel Fanfiction)

Gabriela Espiga is a fashion designer who doesn't know how to say no, and has to create a full set of suits for different superheroes to get their protection.

Creation. (Another Marvel Fanfiction)

In which a group of girls that should have died gains superpowers and try to create a group to help each other.

Cryptic (A Moon Knight Fanfiction)

In which Victoria Martínez is scammed and sees herself forced to share an apartment with a crappy roommate as she slowly falls in love with the neighbor next door. (Don't be fooled, it's quite dark)

I Fell In Love With a War. (An Adrian Chase Fanfiction)

In which Jolene Singh is being blackmailed by her boss but Vigilante offers to kill him; but her emotional instability surpasses her.

Watercolor Eyes. (An Edward Nashton Fanfiction)

Hey! Hey, you! You read anything recently for an old, seemingly inactive fandom? No? WELL, boy oh boy do I have the fic for you! ✨

Fandom: The Covenant (2006)

Relationship: Chase Collins/Caleb Danvers

Tags: Canon Rewrite, Canon-Typical Homophobic Language, Canon-Typical Violence, really just canon-typical choking, but that's not a tag, click through to Ao3 for more

Summary:

As the oldest of his brothers, Caleb makes a habit of noticing things. He’s always had to. He was the first to get a hint of the power itching underneath their skin, the first to learn what it could do to them all if they didn’t watch out. He’s been vigilant over his three closest friends since they were kids, and they’re seniors now, which means the stakes are higher than they ever were when he was thirteen. So Caleb notices a lot of things the night of the back-to-school bonfire. The most memorable one ends up being Chase.

Have you seen the 2006 disasterpiece that is The Covenant? It's not good, friends - not at all.

But LISTEN: somehow, in the midst of all that not-good-ness . . . it's also kind of ridiculously entertaining? Mostly it's just very, very gay. Alarmingly gay for what it is. And my question to all of us is "Why not make it gayer?" So that's what I did. 💕

Wholesome Random Headcannons for The Owl House Characters, because I don't know what else to post about.

Luz's favorite princess is Areil, Amity's is Tiana, Hunter likes Bell.

Lilith and Eda's middle initials are the inverse of each others first. Making their respective initials L.E.C and E.L.C.

Luz loves to get those hardback books that have those 2-3 pages in the back, because she uses them to write continuation epilouges for minor characters who she feels deserved more page time.

She thinks about making a fanfiction account online and posting some of her stories, but is ultimately to nervous about people not liking her work.

Hooty favorite game to play it dress up, and the largest closet in the Owl house is full of Hooty's costume collection. Anyone who so much as touches the door will find themselves stuck playing dress up with Hooty for minimum of 2 hours... it's actually pretty fun...ssshhh

King is actually French and his little bunny buddy Francois, has the same name as his Titan Dad. King subconsciously remembered hearing the name at some point, and liked it.

"Mike Socks", Lilith's palisman, is named after a bard tailor who invented white no-stain fabric for making into tank tops, socks, and undergarments. Lilith bought a biography on him as a teen, and for weeks he was all she wanted to talk about.

Eda found this really boring and would beg Lilith to drop it and talk to her about anything else...after meeting Raine Eda stole the book from Lilith and started quoting it whenever, to try and impress them. Lilith would have been angry, if she hadn't found the whole thing so hilarious.

Gus's first "Human artifact" was an unopened pack of cartoon stickers Perry bought from Eda. Gus is as enthusiastic about stickers as Mabel was and if the two ever met they would race to see who could cover a room with them the fastest.

Eberwolf's fur is actually as soft as it is fluffy. Only Darius knows this. His secret reason for "letting Eber force him into carrying him around" is that feeling Eber's fur is relaxing to him.

Willow's favorite plants are actually different types of ferns, vines, and constrictor plants. She finds flowers kinda basic/uninteresting (similar to Isabella Madrigal). But after adopting Clover she turned a corner of her yard into a flower garden for her, and tries to fill it with more exotic blossoms.

Palisman are notorious gossips, and will totally meet up to laugh over all the silly things their witches do.

Emira Blight is really talented at Math, and plays chess. Edric is skilled at science and cards.

After the events of the Day Of Unity, and his and Odalia's divorce, Alador insists he and the kids start getting up on Saturdays and going to the flea market as a way to spend time together. All three Blight kids expect it to be incredibly boring. All three of them are pleasantly surprised when they actually have fun, and find some cool stuff.

Edric eventually adopts two more bats, whom he names Batira and Battins.

Steve and Mattholomule used to sit at their table and work on crafts or draw together before Steve left for the Emperor's Coven.

Now that he is away so much the pair stay in touch by sometimes sending each other pic's of things they made over pentagram. Steve's uses the pictures Matt sends him to decorate his walls.

Hunter sadly doesn't get the dolls he left at the castle back. But between Darius's lessons and tutorials he finds on Penstagram he learns how to sew dolls. He remakes his old toys, and then he starts making then for his friends too.

King tells him that " the Titan has big plans for you to make him the greatest stuffed animal army in all the world." Hunter is not sure what exactly that means, but hey, if that's the titans plan.

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

I am so sorry, but I truly must be the one to ask this. What do you think the Cullens and Volturi’s a/b/o alignments/secondary genders are within the omegaverse? How do you think venom effects heats/rut patterns? Is it that upon turning only males have them as they’re the only ones capable of reproducing via hybrid? (Lol not a fic writer just want to know your thoughts)

...

Anon.

Come on.

Bold of you.

But come on.

I also like how you're weasling out of writing your own fic to answer these questions. Really, anon, your guess is as good as mine here.

Do You Have an Answer, Muffin?

No.

And it's not because I'm weaseling out or because this is an entirely made-up fanfiction concept: it's because it is entirely dependent on the porn the author wishes to write.

But What Do You Mean?

A/B/O gender alignments in fics is entirely dependent on who the author wants to be on top. The ageless question in slash fanfics and the cause of many a heated internet debate. BUT WHO IS ON TOP?!!!! WHO IS THE SEME?!!!!

Authors want whoever they want "on top" and then we get alpha characteristics on top of other slashy slashness to justify why this character is totally for realz on top.

It has nothing to do with anything.

Just how the author wants the porn to go down and who they want to get pregnant.

I could try to guess based off of fandom tropes and fanon cliches except, if you take a gander at the Ao3 shipping stats, the canon heterosexual pairings in Twilight are in the lead. When we do expand outside of them it's to the very Cullen pairings of things like Jasper/Bella and if we're getting really spicy Alice/Bella or Rosalie/Bella. Now we could do the wild and bold move of having heterosexual/female slash pairings that are ALSO somehow how A/B/O but it's well known that A/B/O has its lifeblood in male slash.

So, we're looking at... Jakeward? Pretty much? In which case if we go with what fandoms usually do... Edward's the omega and having the baby due to being shorter and skinnier and prettier than Jacob.

Beyond that it'd be me pontificating on who wins the coin flip of A/B/O to get whatever gender they get. Or, I could be that ass and say "oh but they're all Beta, you see" as Beta is generally in omegaverse statistically more likely (except when it isn't for strange reasons and what even is beta for in those fics? Honestly)

But How Would You Do It?

If you're forcing me to be in some alternate Twilight universe where they're also omega...

Well, caveat, this depends on if I'm doing this for a fic or not which may change things in service of the greater plot. Yes, even in an A/B/O fic, people, three should be at least some semblance of a plot. Somewhere. Somehow.

I'd decide via coin flip who gets what. It's a random genetic thing where a vampire is more likely than not Beta with relatively few Alphas or Omegas. It has nothing to do with personality or sexuality, it's just a weird genetic coin toss that affects relatively few people.

In terms of the Omega pregnancy thing... well, this would dramatically change the world of Twilight. Either these children would be known about and be illegal for being immortal children or else it'd be very well known that Omega vampires can produce offspring. Omegas would be desperately sought after by covens wanting children or covens with Alphas who are gifted. And I imagine many more humans might be turned on the off chance that they could end up a highly valued Omega.

Regardless, the Renesmee debacle would likely not happen or not in the same manner as children are a known quantity in Twilight. Now, I'm sure they didn't expect human Bella to get pregnant via Edward (who is statistically likely to be Beta here) but life is full of little surprises like that, isn't it?

And much of the plot of Twilight would be spent in angst as no one could guarantee that Edward and Bella will be compatible sexually due to the random coin flip of A/B/O that occurs upon turning.

Bella, I'm sure, assures Edward that her love is so strong it doesn't matter. Now, this may work out and it may... not.

Otherwise in terms of heat/rut patterns...

Nope, I can't even pretend to care, man.

Followers, you get to decide, which porn floats your boat best.

Through the Window

The boys stumble upon an interesting scene

Pairing: Michael x reader, Dwayne x Paul

Warning: SMUT, voyeurism, dumbification? (look Michael is fucked dumb, ok?), no beta we die like hoes

Author’s note: You wanna hear something embarrassing? I’m so deep in the tlb mindset that the whole ‘yeah they are brothers, but they are also a pack/coven and vampires and they are also in poly realitionship’... I didn’t even realise I’m writting actual incest until halfway through the fic. The reader was written as Michael’s actual sister and I didn’t realise it. Kill me. Now.  Not that I’m strict anti-incest in fanfiction. You do you boo. It’s just the fact it didn’t register for so long that fucks me up XD

- The boys are hovering in the air right next to Emerson resident. Crowns of the tall trees hiding their figures. They are huddled close together so they can see every little detail through the window of Michael‘s room. They’ve drroped by to just check on Michael, see how he‘s dealing with the transition to the other side but found something much more interesting. There is no way they can leave now.

- They are stunned. Completely speechless. Paul’s jaw pretty much dislodged at some point.

- Michael is laying on his back, hand on your hips. Both of you are breathing heavily. Shivering. You lean down to give him a sweet kiss that makes him whimper.

- Soft „please, please, please“ escape him. He looks desperate.

- You hadn’t taken him inside yet. Just letting hic cock slip through your wet folds. Back and forth, again and again. Nice and gentle.

- To be honest the boys are more stunned by the fact you seem to fucking Michael and not the other way around. You are such a sweet innocent looking thing. Aren’t you supposed to be the good girl? It looks like you have Michael pretty tight by the balls. He doesn’t even attempt to rush you or push you into hurrying. All he can manage is that pathetic pleading and sad puppy eyes.

- „Fuck,“ Paul almost plummets to the ground when he sees Michael’s cock glistening with your slick and precome. Dwayne has to pull him close, back to chest so he won’t actually drop from the air.

- Dwayne puts his large hands around the blondes waist and hurries to open his pants. Why not right? By the smell of lust coming from the others they are in for a night of passion so why not start now. He slowly strokes Paul‘s already rock hard cock.

- „Please, please,“ whimpers Michael, repeating your name like a prayer.

- You brace yourself above him, hands next to either side of his head. „We don’t have a condom,“ you say.

- Paul grabs a pack of condoms from his pocket and is about to go inside and offer it to you so the show can go on. He doesn’t even care there’s a hand around his own cock. Dwayne has to grab him by the collar to keep him back.

- David is aware of his brother’s struggles but couldn’t care less. The alluring smell of lust and sex is surrounding them like a warm blanket, suffocating their senses. He doesn’t care if his coat is hiding the prominent bulge underneath. He shall not be ashamed of his arousal when his brothers are already acting like a bunch of hormonal rabbits.

- Marko’s pulls his jeans just low enough to put his hand inside. His eyes pinned to the two sweat covered bodies.  

- Even Dwayne who is clutching Paul in his arms is lost in his need. His hips are rubbing against Paul’s backside while he’s jerking off his friend.

- High pitched whine slices through the heavy air as you roll your hips again with much more force this time. Michael has to grip the sheets beneath him because he doesn’t want to leave bruises on you. Every little slide of skin on skin forces broken noises from him. He’s getting really desperate.

- „He’s lame,“ spits Marko. „She’s not even in operating temperature, hot and bothered and he’s about to blow.“ That doesn’t stop the smallest vampire from enjoying the show none. He’s roughly rubbing himself with a slightly demented smirk on his face. That pup’s inexperienced, unlikely to get any girl off in timely manner but it’s certainly entertaining to watch him be basically dommed by a tiny thing like you.

- „Play with her nips or something,“ growls Marko under his breath.

- ,,Eat her out, man. Please,“ whines Paul. He’s almost there. If Dwayne would just speed up a little bit. Be a little rougher. „I wanna eat her out.“

- „We know,“ Marko rolls his eyes because everybody knows Paul has oral fixation of ungodly proportions.

- „I can do it better than you.“

- „Keep dreaming.“

- „Fuck, Dwayne, harder.“

- „Shut up, dude.“

- „I could finish her in 10 seconds flat.“

- „Paul, you fly a step closer and I will put you in a cage.“

-… „kinky.“

- Loud moan cuts off their banter. You finally give the boy what he wants and gently guide him inside. He claws at the sheets, trying to restraint himself from bucking into your slick tight heat. You support yourself with hands on his stomach. As you slowly rise up and slide down again you can feel the hard muscles under your fingers moving. Sweat covers your skin as you work on riding him. There’s no rush but that means nothing to Michael because he’s about to come undone in matter of seconds. The poor boy was so pent-up thanks to your thorough foreplay he couldn’t possibly hold on any longer.

- With choked cry he slips out of you, ropes of white cum land on his own chest. He’s trembling in his post orgasm bliss. Barely conscious as it is.

- You get off the bed to clean yourself and bring a wet washcloth to take care of your lover too.

-„Um, hey… sorry…“ he stutters shamefully.

- Dwayne’s pressing his cum covered hand to Marko’s mouth to silence the string of profanities directed at Michael. He has no brain when he comes.

- „I can… you know…“ It’s easy to see Michael really isn’t used to not delivering in bed. His cheeks are stained crimson with embarrassment. He grabs your wrist as you are about to clean the last of the mess on his skin. You smile at him kindly.

- „No need. Actually I should be on my wa. It looks like I’m in a world of trouble already,“ you say as you look out of the window.

- David smirks. „That you are kitten.“

The Night Changes ~ Colors, Chapter 4 (Kai Parker Fanfiction)

Hi again! Welcome to Chapter 4 of Colors, my Kai Parker Soulmate AU Fanfiction. This is NOT meant to be read as a standalone piece. Events of the story and even the universe it is set in vary greatly from the original show. If you haven't yet, please read the Details post and previous chapters linked on this masterlist.

*not my gif

Word Count: 3,094

Pairings: CovenLeader!Kai X witch!Reader (soulmates), vampire!Damon x vampire!Elena (soulmates), witch!Liv X werewolf!Tyler (soulmates)

(Yes, I know in that Tyler is a human again in Season 6. That doesn't work for the purpose of Tyler and Liv being soulmates, so for the sake of this story, he is still a werewolf but can control when he shifts.)

I don’t like writing with Y/N in the place of character names, but this IS a reader insert fanfiction. I use Rosalie Wilson as a placeholder. Use Rose/Rosalie as a substitution for Y/N.

Warnings: Minor swearing, depictions of violence/murder, and unhealthy alcohol use.

There is no smut, but for all intents and purposes, this chapter is best suited to mature audiences. You have been warned.

Alright, I'll stop blabbing now. Read a short recap of the last chapter + a new one after the break :) I hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as I loved writing it.

Chapter 3 Recap:

Gritting his teeth, Kai wrenched Luke’s hand off of his face, clutching it and moving closer. What did it matter if he won or died? If he won, he’d never be at someone’s mercy again. Never be weaker than others or depend on siphoning someone else’s magic. If he died, he’d get his second greatest wish. He’d no longer live in a world where no one wanted him.

“Fine. It’s your funeral.”

~

A few miles away, Rosalie made herself a comforting mug of hot cocoa. Seven tabs were open on her laptop, and she needed the sugar boost to get through the mountain of post-Thanksgiving assignments. With her chocolate by her side, she sat down to complete them. Rose had just taken one scalding sip and was cursing her impatience when the mug fell from her hands. It splashed onto her cream carpet, streaking it with brown.

Or at least, it should’ve been brown. She couldn’t see the color anymore.

~~~

Her heart leaped into her throat, stealing her air. For weeks, Rosalie hoped her world would become colorless. She had prayed she’d go back to a time before she’d never known Kai. The cost of going back to that time was one she never comprehended. Rose had lost too many people already; she couldn’t bear to lose her soulmate too.

She squeezed her eyes shut, pleading with the universe to let this just be a cruel trick. When her eyes opened, the color had returned. Her pity party didn’t last long. Now, she was just confused. What could have possibly caused the color to leave her vision for mere minutes?

The merge.

The merge must have happened, and Kai had won.

~

He woke on the cold ground. A few feet away, Josette cradled their dead brother’s head, sobbing over his loss. It was strange. Kai expected to feel different somehow. Everything was the same… until it wasn’t. It hit him without warning. Unimaginable power coursed through him, now his to command and control. Kai would never have to siphon magic from another again. He was now Coven Leader, and because of his abilities as a siphon, he’d be the most indestructible of them all.

“He saved me, and he’s gone!” Josette’s choked cry rang out into the night, and Damon’s lips pressed together in helplessness. “You win some, you lose some, right?” Kai was flying far too high to feel any remorse. “Except for me. I always win.” Damon’s eyes narrowed and he took a step in his direction. Before he could take a second step, Kai had vanished.

It wasn’t like he had a destination in mind. Actually, he was lost. This was what he’d craved for eighteen years. Kai chased after it single-mindedly, living for no other purpose. What the hell was he supposed to do now?

~~~

Another week had gone by, and Kai was in hiding. Being Coven Leader was nothing like he had envisioned. Slowly but surely, he was recognizing this wasn’t what he truly wanted. Not by a long shot. That was only the lie he told himself. Kai lied to himself so often, he didn’t know when it had become the only digestible truth. Wanting to be Coven Leader was simply a façade, a cloak over his real desire.

What Kai really wanted was acceptance: acceptance from his family, acceptance for who he was, and… acceptance from his soulmate. Rosalie was closer than ever in physical distance, but she couldn’t have been farther in every other possible way. Kai hadn’t laid eyes on her in weeks, not since he killed that taxi driver.

The memory made him freeze. Why did he kill him? Because he didn’t find change in the jeans he stole? That was all it took for him to take someone’s life.

Kai found himself clawing at his own neck as if the wire was choking him and not his last helpless victim. The mirage pressed against his windpipe, and though Kai knew it was all in his head, he felt like he deserved it. What right did he have to live when he’d killed so many?

The home of the Parkers was eerily silent. The eldest son, Malachai, strolled the halls. Two of his siblings were hanging from the stairwell railing, their bodies jerking like puppets on a string. There was some fight left in them, and in a truly twisted way, it was satisfying. No one knew his struggle as a siphon. They were just getting a taste of it. They’d die and be free from it soon enough.

The bloody knife Malachai used to tear out Josette’s spleen clattered onto the floor harshly, splattering the oak wood with maroon droplets. Just one annoying little brother and the twins remained. Jo could be left alive for now. After all, he did need his twin for the merge.

Malachai’s hands closed around his youngest brother’s throat as he siphoned power away from him. It wasn’t like he’d need it. Silencing his screams with one palm, he carried him to the pool. Forcefully holding him beneath the water warmed by the May sun, Malachai growled at how much his victim struggled. “I saved you for last, you ungrateful little…” One last, sharp inhale rang out, mixed with the garbled sound of water filling the youngest Parker’s lungs. He, too, was dead.

Humming in soft satisfaction, Malachai watched his body float there. He then made his way back to the house, tearing behind the twins’ favorite hiding spots in the living room. “Josette! Where are they?” His voice sang out cheerfully in stark contrast to the blood on his hands and shirt. There was a high he was riding. Pure glee was rushing through him, a kind he’d never known before – glee that comes from the prospect of murder.

“Oliviaaaa? Lucas?” He trampled up the stairs, taking his sweet time and letting the sound echo throughout the house. “Come on out, Jo. You must be hiding them somewhere.” From beneath the bed, Jo and the twins saw his pink sneakers – white originally but soaked in red. Malachai could sense they were under the bed, but he decided to toy with them a bit. His other kills had been far too quick. He pretended to look in the closet, unsurprised to find it empty.

When Malachai’s hands gripped the base of the bed, Jo hid the twins with her magic, protecting them the only way she could. He found only his twin sister, and he snapped. No longer playing games, he kicked her wounded stomach in. “WHERE ARE THEY?!”

Kai jolted awake, not realizing he’d fallen asleep. A thin layer of sweat painted his skin, making his clothes sticky and cold. His exhausted, sunken eyes – courtesy of the same nightmare every night since the merge – seemed lifeless. The digital clock on the bedside table of the motel read 2:34 AM. The night changes, but how many nights does it take to dissolve guilt?

Dragging his feet, Kai made his way to the small bathroom. The face staring back from the mirror was pale, sallow. No more sleep was going to come to him. Stripping off his sweaty clothing, Kai grabbed the phone (yet another stolen item) and Googled how to process emotional pain. Maybe this would get him somewhere.

~~~

In the morning, Kai drove to the Salvatore House. Last night had been an experience, to say the least, and he needed to ask a favor of Damon. “Hello?” He heard mumbling from the kitchen and Damon’s voice slowly increasing in volume. “…merged and packed and on his way to Portland!”

“Ooh, I forgot how massive this house is.” His eyes fell on the decorative tray of treats. “Yum, cupcakes! Sorry, am I interrupting something?” Completely ignoring the answer, Kai snuck past the lovers, reached for a cupcake, and hopped onto the kitchen table Damon and Bonnie ate pancakes on in the Prison World. “What are you doing here, Kai?”

“Funniest thing. I need your help. I need you to give a letter to Josette for me.” Elena was completely indignant. “Why would we do that?” He munched on his cupcake, speaking with his mouth half-full. “I haven’t been able to find her with a locator spell, which is probably intentional on her part since – under normal circumstances – I’d be super jazzed to gouge out her belly button.” Scraping up the last bit of frosting, Kai licked it off her finger.

“Why would we help you, Kai?” He just came in here and proclaimed nothing had changed since the merge, yet he expected them to contact Jo for him? “Well, in case you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a sociopath. I know, shocker. I like being a sociopath, you know? I’m not burdened by things like guilt or love.

“So then, this merge happened with my brother Luke, and I won, which was great because I absorbed his ability to do magic. But now I can’t stop thinking about how Luke died. How Liv’s life is ruined. For some horrible reason I can’t shake… oddly, I feel bad.” Kai forced out a laugh because he could feel his throat closing up again.

“You feel bad?” Elena didn’t bother to cover up her disbelief, and Kai continued his rant. “Yeah, so when I absorbed Luke’s magic, I must’ve gotten some of his qualities or something, like… empathy? So I Googled how to process emotional pain, and they said if you write everything down in a letter and burn it, you’ll be healed.” He waved the envelope in the air; encased within it was a letter addressed to Josette. “I started writing, and this water literally started pooling in my eyes. Has that ever happened to you? Like… like… water just oozing out of my eyeballs like I’m some alien creature excreting fluids.”

“You mean you cried?”

“Yes! And after that was done, I burned the letter, and the feeling is still there. So, I really feel strongly that Jo needs to know how sorry I am for destroying our family… as does Liv. But let’s face it guys, alright? I mean Elena, you of all people should be willing to look past all the questionable things I’ve done to see that there’s good somewhere in me. You did it with Damon.”

“Okayyyy, I think we’re done here.” Damon moved to take Elena’s arm and began guiding her out of the kitchen when she stopped him. “No, Damon. He has a point.”

Kai raised an eyebrow, surprised she gave in so quickly. “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t just believe you’ve become someone else overnight. You should get to prove it, though. Just once. You won’t get another chance, so don’t screw it up.”

“Well, you’ve shown more faith in me right there than anyone else has before, so thank you.” It was a weird feeling. Warm, somehow. It was the support he’d never known. “Yes, well, I’m not doing it for you.” Damon suppressed a sigh, his lips pressing together. Kai was confused. Who else would she do it for, if not him? “Damon, you need to call her. I know you miss her.” Ah. Her.

A quick flash of anger burst through Kai once more. Elena – a complete stranger to him – was willing to give him a chance to show he had a sliver of good inside him. Why couldn’t his soulmate do the same? “Yeah, alright. I’ll try again.”

“And you keep trying until she talks to you. Rosalie has every right to be mad at you, but you need to make more of an effort to be there for her. Kai, we can give the letter to Jo for you.”

Kai shook his head slightly, snapping back to his senses. “Yeah, um, thanks. One more thing. I wrote them all letters and burned them last night… even one to Luke – which was probably unnecessary considering we’ve literally merged – but only rewrote the one to Josette. I feel like I should apologize to Liv in person. Where do you think I could find her?”

“Um, Whitmore, I guess?”

Rosalie and Liv were both at the Scull Bar. Rose had offered to take all her shifts, but Liv was stubborn and would come to work anyways. She tried to pretend everything was fine and went about her life as if nothing happened. Tyler and Rosalie were very concerned, never drifting far from her. Liv was a ticking time-bomb; it was only a matter of time before she snapped and her grief exploded. Denial didn’t last forever.

Their shift would be ending soon, and Tyler started packing up his things, glancing around more. It seemed like they were the only ones there. Rose was organizing a new shipment of mixers when Kai slipped in. He hid in the shadows. Despite all his talk and external bravado, Kai was terrified of confronting Liv. But he had to. He owed it to her. He owed it to Luke.

Before he could make himself known, Liv accidentally shattered a bottle of bourbon. The brown liquid spilled across the floor, spilling any ounce of Liv's composure along with it. “God fucking damn it!” She thrashed the rag in her hand across the counter, her knuckles turning white.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. It’s just a bottle.” Rosalie rushed over to her, and Tyler moved closer to them both. He pulled Liv away from behind the counter, making her take a seat. Rose poured her a glass of water before clearing up the alcohol and glass with magic – no one was in here, and Liv needed all of their attention.

The cool water sloshed along the sides of the cup. Liv’s eyes tracked the movement, and when they met Rosalie’s, she could barely stop herself from lashing out. “Stop looking at me like that. Both of you.”

“We’re just worried about you, Liv.”

“Yeah? Well, don’t be. What’s worrying going to do? Is it going to bring Luke back? No.” Liv harshly carded her hand through her hair, pulling at strands and shaking them from her trembling fingers. Tyler took hold of her quivering hand, squeezing it softly. Not even her soulmate could calm her down now. “You should talk to someone about this, babe. We’re just doing our best to be here for you.”

Rosalie held her other hand, and Liv shook it off. She wrapped her arms around Tyler, hiding her eyes in his shoulder. She wasn’t crying, but her shoulders wobbled under the weight of unbearable emotions. The rejection stung some, but Rose wasn’t about to make this about herself. “We can understand what you’re feeling, Liv. We’ve lost family, too.”

Liv’s body froze, separating from Tyler slowly. The hatred in her eyes seared through the icy demeanor she was fronting. It burned Rosalie exactly where it hurt most. “What would you know about losing family? You killed your own mother, brother, and father.” Her words were a knife to Rosalie’s heart. Apparently, Liv wasn’t done.

“You and Kai really deserve each other.” Tyler’s face fell. He knew about Rosalie’s past, and he would’ve never believed Liv could go there. Speechlessly, he guided her away. An apology on his soulmate’s behalf shone in his eyes, and Rose only gave half a nod in response. She let them leave and locked the door with magic, not knowing that Kai was locked inside with her.

He had come to apologize to Liv, but he wasn’t about to leave Rose alone. The empathy that was far too new struck again, and Rosalie’s hatred for Kai suddenly made perfect sense. He could see how the memory tormented her. It had begun tormenting him in the same way, but it had only been a week for him. She must have been dealing with it for months, maybe even years. How could she accept someone who went around flaunting murders like they were trophies on a bookshelf?

Meanwhile, Rosalie’s feet had remained frozen to the same spot. She didn’t cry. Her tear ducts were far too barren to shed droplets. Her expression was mostly unreadable, but it flickered with some emotion or other every so often. Grief, anger, shock… relentless hurt above all. Swallowing it all, she dropped the wooden shutters around the bar and lit some scattered candles. When the flames rose higher than normal, fueled by the tornado of emotions within her, she forced herself to sit down.

“Let’s not burn down this building, too, Rosalie. Let’s not do that.” Scoffing and shaking her head, Rosalie grabbed a glass. She found herself mixing the same cocktail she made for Kai weeks ago. “Great, I’m talking to myself now. That’s just… super sane behavior.”

“Hey, I talk to myself, too.” Despite the situation, Kai couldn’t help but smirk at the astonishment on her face. “God!” She nearly dropped the shaker but narrowly avoided another drink catastrophe. “H-how long have you been in here?” He took a seat at the bar exactly where he had a few weeks ago. “Long enough.” Sighing, Rosalie went back to mixing the drink but poured it for him before making another that was even stronger for herself. “Figures.”

Rosalie didn’t want to kick him out, and Kai wasn’t keen on leaving. He’d only had one drink, but Rose had downed at least seven within two hours. She was still speaking– which was actually insanely impressive – but he worried about leaving her alone. Every time he tried to get her to stop drinking, she reached for another. He could tell she was hoping to mute whatever she was feeling. Kai had done the same in the prison world numerous times. He couldn’t judge.

“I’m gonna say something that I’m either gonna regret or just not remember… but your eyes are sooooo pretty. Did you know that? They’re like so blueeee and sparklyyyy.” Kai hopped behind the counter this time, making her next ‘drink’ with only water and no alcohol but keeping the flavors the same. “Sparkly, huh? What makes them sparkly?” Kai was trying to keep her awake. If she fell asleep in such a state, her hangover would make her very remorseful tomorrow.

Her very last drink was settling into her system, and Rosalie started growing quieter. Kai silently placed her new beverage in front of her, confident that she was too intoxicated to notice it wasn’t alcoholic. “I didn’t mean to do it, you know? I just got upset. It was after I heard about the death of Elena’s parents. They were our family, too. All the… feelings didn’t have anywhere to go. I couldn’t control my magic and it… destroyed everything.”

Kai didn’t speak. He didn’t want to interrupt. He wanted to know more about her, and if she felt comfortable sharing the deepest parts of her agony, he wanted to bear it with her. It took all his self-control to keep from touching her, from taking her hand, or from hugging her. Hugging her? Since when did he do hugs? He’d barely been hugged a day in his life, but that seemed like the appropriate response when someone was in duress.

“That’s why I hate you, you know? Because you were so gleeful about murdering your family. Bonnie was telling me how you bragged about your methods, and it made me hate you. You were happy about the same thing that eats me alive. But you know the funny thing?

“I don’t hate you. Not even a little bit. Maybe not at all.”
