#but ask and ye shall fucking receive

[morningstargirl666]

hi! do you have any long canon klaroline fic recommendations?

i’m missing klaroline and actual canon isn’t gonna cut it

I'm going to assume by long fics you mean multichaps? I've always found this fandom seems to be lacking in them, and I'm not talking about the 5-10 chapter fics --- I mean the long ass, epic-length fics that transport you to another dimension and rob you of nine hours of your life in a back-alley because you couldn't close the ao3 page at 1am. Other fandoms seem to have dozens of them but klaroline? Not so much. Writers here seem to prefer the 50k one-shots or playing with a different AU altogether, which is fantastic of course, but sometimes you crave something different, you know? Something you can lose youself in. It's what made me write TBBW, initially. However, that doesn't mean the fandom doesn't have some canon-divergent gems.

Epic-Length Wonders:

Red Queen by KS_Caster / @ks-caster

3-Part Series, Over 200k+ words. Season 4 Canon-Divergent. The last part is a WIP. I absolutely adored this fic when I first read it and I still adore it now. Klaus puts Caroline first and continues to put her first during the search for Silas' cure and it is fucking amazing. The werewolf/hybrid world building in the second fic inspired me to write more fics like it. It's not had as much attention since it was moved to AO3, but trust me, this fic is a hidden gem.

Wicked Schemes by willowaus / @willowaus

30 Chapters, 260k+ words. Season 1 TO Canon-Divergent. Ignores the baby plot. Caroline inherits the powers of a harbringer and the way its weaved into the fic so flawlessly makes you question if it wasn't just canon to begin with. Honestly epic world building. Wolf!Klaus also makes an appearance! A true klaroline classic.

make them bow. by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

35 Chapters, 220k+ words. Season 1 Canon-Divergent. Klaus is dropped into season one while Caroline is still human. Klefan bromance. Damon retribution. Forbes family dynamics. Klaus covered in blood. Council Members and Founding Family warfare. There's a reason this is the most commented-on fic in the entire fandom even though it's barely been out a year.

Binge-In-One-Sitting Multichaps:

Til I Tasted You by KiryTheStitchWitch / @kirythestitchwitch

4 Chapters, 22k. Canon Divergent/Soulmate AU. Will ruin you with single most devastating declaration of love in existence, forewarning you now.

throw roses into the abyss by marxandangels / @marxandangels

7 Chapters, 99k+. WIP. Technically Season 6 Canon-Divergent (after Liz dies) but ignores canon for the most part, especially TO wise. Explores the concept of humanity-less vampires so well, with a dash of world building on the side. Klaus and Caroline's relationship is also explored with such nuance --- like these two aren't just attracted to each other but entwined by their very souls, kind of nuanced. Oh, and the bloodsharing scene drawn by here by @stardust414 lives rent-free in my mind.

Someone's First Choice by unpublishednovelist

10 Chapters, 29k+. Post-Canon. This one's a WIP but I'm keeping my eye on it because it's good. Like hella good. Caroline decides to say fuck it and goes with some college friends to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, accomadation covered by our favourite Original hybrid. She breaks up with Tyler over voicemail. Queen shit.

All I Need by emeraldvixen

14 Chapters, 60k, E rated. Canon-Divergent/Wolf Mate AU. In the mood for some hot and steamy smut? Emeraldvixen's got you covered.

the fate makes for a lousy poet by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

7 Chapters, 50k+. Season 3 Canon-Divergent/Soulmate AU. The Originals in pajamas. Need I say more?

Who put Bella down the Wynch Elm? by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

7 Chapters, 60k+. Post-Canon. A murder mystery whodunnit with original side characters and Caroline in all her bad ass glory, after she's left Mystic Falls and its hellmouth-worthy shenanigans. Just - for a minute - imagine canon expanded on the tvd universe and revisted the fact the Originals are little more than nightmarish stories in the supernatural world, or that Stefan is the most infamous mass murderer on the east coast and maybe you'll understand how amazing this fic is.

Important to note these were all specifically Canon-Divergent multichaps. There's plenty more gems out there, just for different AUs and lengths. I also only looked at my ao3 bookmarks for this, so like, I'm probably forgetting several.

Damn, someone who gets it.

It was a nice read because of how the points OP makes are actually found within the series itself, and having a brain enough to literally have common sense and be able to read the room.

I agree with all of the points though, Stolas was the one who made it ALL about sex, ever since his first appearance back in Murder Family, no matter how Viv attempts to retcon the story to make Stolas look good, Stolas will always be an abuser no matter what (unless you're a Stolitz stan, which I doubt because they don't have any coherent reading comprehension to begin with)

And this is the endgame couple we're supposed to root for?

Fuck this, I'd rather have Blitz and Striker being a couple at this point, Stolas doesn't deserve a romantic partner because he's emotionally stunted and incompetent in even the basics of sympathy, y'know, the basics of what's needed to even CONSIDER being in a seriously committed relationship with someone?

Being edge isn't a flex when this is how you are completely sober. Smoke some weed, take a shot or two, it really won't hurt once. Give therapy another try and actually be honest about what you're doing in your spare time. I hope that one day you'll wake up and decide to stop acting like these real people are just toys to play make believe with

no, actually i don't think i will do any of that. being straight edge fucking rules and so does rpf

[ongreenergrasses]

Oooh 2 & 3 for the asks!!

LMAOOOO OKAY STRAP IN

2. Tell me about your first kiss

okay so. this is. i feel like this is indicative of how insane my life is because this story while wild is not even close to the wildest thing that’s happened to me. this is like borderline normal

so what happened was i was a freshman in high school on an orchestra trip and for our last night before the final concert, we of course all snuck out. we didn’t even leave the hotel we just snuck into the room that was the biggest. anyway there were probably like sixteen of us in this room and i don’t remember much of the night because this was over ten years ago and i was incidentally also suicidally depressed at the time but by about one am we ended up in the following configuration. it was me, my ex (not my ex at the time but we’re just calling him that bc that’s what he is now), this girl we’ll call Clemensia, and another girl we’ll call Calliope crammed into one queen bed. incidentally there is also a girl we’ll call Zara and a guy we’ll call Roberto on a couch that’s directly next to the head of the bed. these are all relevant players in this

so there’s four of us in this bed, and Calliope falls asleep. (i ended up playing at Calliope’s wedding many years later actually we became good friends throughout the rest of high school.) but somehow she’s asleep and Clemensia falls asleep too, and so it’s just me and my ex whispering to each other for hours, and i do mean hours. we talked for like two hours. at one point I look over and Zara’s asleep on the couch and Roberto’s playing some game on his phone. Roberto stays up the entire night playing this game. he is a witness to literally all of this and has never said a word about it to anyone. in fact i have only ever heard him say three words in general.

back to the point. i have a massive crush on my ex. this is making my dreams come true, and eventually, bc i have never had a problem asserting myself and he is into me and is talking to me and we’re literally laying in each other’s arms, i can’t remember if i said anything or if i just leaned over and kissed him, but we kissed, and then we started making out. like zero to one hundred real quick. this is my first kiss. i have braces. i have no idea what i am doing.

anyway we’re making out and he pulls me on top of him, and i accidentally smack into Clemensia and wake her up, and she wakes up Calliope. so i roll off him and we pretend this never happened. but since it’s like three in the morning i immediately fall asleep, and then i wake up what feels like a couple seconds later because now my ex is making out with Clemensia and he bumped into me.

I do not know how this man pulled women the way he did. i do, but at the same time it’s completely incomprehensible.

anyway it’s three in the morning and i’m like you know what. I’m actually pretty pissed about this but i’m also too tired to fight this bitch off him, so i just fall back asleep. Roberto is still playing on his phone. as I’m falling asleep, I see Zara sit up, and i’m like ugh whatever. now there’s a witness to this this is so embarrassing Zara knows i have a crush on my ex and she’s gonna see him making out with another girl. great.

so this all resolves, we sneak back to our rooms, i was rooming with a snitch who got us all in trouble, and i’m so tired I don’t care about that (we got suspended) but I do care that my ex was making out with Clemensia bc what. he was kissing me!!! why did he then immediately kiss this other bitch!!!

i pull Zara aside and spill to her. I tell her everything and she’s like are you jealous? and i was like tbh no i’m just kind of mad bc he was my first kiss. and she was like ok well if you’re not jealous clearly he’s into you, so why don’t you just. both date him?

anyway all three of us, me, Clemensia, and my ex, ended up dating each other for a couple months. this was fascinating because Clemensia and i were in denial about the fact that the two of us were dating but we absolutely were. many many things happened after that, and it all culminated in me fleeing the country for a little bit and eventually getting a restraining order against my ex, but that is a story for another time.

and that’s my first kiss!

3. What playlists do you have on your phone?

a veritable fuckton. i nearly typed the name of one and then was like wait people could just look that up on spotify so i will remain a man of mystery. but it has Big Bad Wolf by Shakey Graves on it so someone can take an educated guess as to what fic(s) this playlist is for

get to know me

[misteria247]

I got one better than mutant pocalypse.

2003 Donnie in the future from the episode Same As It Never Was.

His brothers are arguing and he’s sick of hearing it. Mikey just lost his arm and Raph and Leo won’t stop arguing. He needs to get out for a little bit. Mike will be fine for a little while.

When he’s out he doesn’t realize he’s being followed until it’s too late. At first he doesn’t realize what happened, until he turns to see the foot soldier behind him. The soldier walks THROUGH him and picks up a body… a green body with a purple… bandana…

He stares as the soldier takes his own body away. He runs. He runs home as fast as he can. The jumps feel a little too easy, he’s moving a little faster than he should be able to. He can’t feel the gravel and rooftops under his feet.

When he arrives at the lair nobody sees him. Nobody can. He tries to make himself seen. He tries to communicate. He tries EVERYTHING.

Nothing works.

Years pass, and his brothers age but he doesn’t. He’s 18 indefinitely. He watches helplessly as Shredder takes over. He watches his brothers grow apart. When Splinter dies, he’s no longer alone. He has his father to accompany him as a ghost.

Then a strange thing happens, and he sees his body again. But it’s moving. It’s him but it’s not him. It’s another him. Mikey is cold towards him. His brothers think he abandoned them. He would never abandon them.

He can’t protect his brothers anymore during the final battle. They’re killed one by one. He can’t protect them, but when they wake and see him he hugs them, each and every one of them tightly. He cries. He’s missed them.

So so much

Yesssssss this too! SAINW also is a concept I wanna play around with one day cuz as you've shared it absolutely fucking hurts hahahahaha :'D

does the petty crimes crew buy from the crime store

no because you DONT BUY FROM THE CRIME STORE!!!!!

[morningstargirl666]

HIIII I just finished reading The Big Bad Wolf and IT WAS AWESOME I'm so happy I came across this fic because I don't usually read works in progress and it's a miracle that tumblr brought me to a post where this fic was mentioned in the comments.

So, I've been reading it for the last few days, and from the very conversation between Caroline and Klaus in chapter 11, when she was supposed to distract Klaus, I wondered if Marcel would show up in this job? Or if there would be more talk about him? And if Klaus would go to New Orleans and learns about Marcel being alive and a King . I just love fics where Caroline meets Marcel because he's proof that Klaus has a heart, I really believe they once had a family relationship.

I'm so intrigued about this work, it's magnificent, Thank you🤌😩

Firstly! Thanks so much for reading! ❤️✨ TBBW is my beautiful problem child and I love the fic with my whole heart. Tomorrow actually marks its one-year anniversary since I last updated which is absolutely WILD. Like? It's been a year?! Since my past self decided, hey! Lets just, you know, do some light editing. Fix all the crappy grammar and shit. What could possibly go wrong? [nervous laughter]

[side-eyes the steadily growing wordcount of TBBW's complete and utter rewrite at this point]

Yeah... ANYWAYS you might want to check ao3 tomorrow. I might be posting something to explain why I haven't updated in a year (and to tease what's to come hehe). And as for the coversation between Klaus and Caroline in what was chapter 11, I adore that scene! So thank you so much for pointing it out. It's a lovely favourite of mine. And as for Marcel, me mentioning him was definitely deliberate and you'll see more of him in TBBW's rewrite. Because oh, my dear, I have plans. Specifically, plans for a cetain sequel, set in New Orleans.

The whole baby plot always seemed so stupid to me? Especially when the writers created Marcel, a character concept that was far more intriguing than a miracle baby that completely demolished all the in-canon lore. So yeah. I fixed it.

That's what TBBW is, really. A fix-it fic. But instead of me picking one thing from canon I disagreed with, I just decided to fight the whole bloody thing, by tooth and claw and an' all.

Thanks for sticking by me and reading this feral gremlin of a fic. You're in for one hell of ride, I'll promise you that ✨

ARI YOU SEE ME AS A BIG NAME??? (re. that poll post)

Yes

[ehlnofay]

pondering posting another piece soon... in my head it's a toss-up between an experiment with writing martin's perspective and one of pax and sheogorath's many normal interactions. but I can't decide beyond that so please tell me which one you'd rather see

[franciskirkland-deleted]

François and Arthur are always fighting and making up. Is that foreplay? I need light on this subject because that sounds exhausting.

sometimes it is sometimes arthur is just being a proper british gentleman (domestic abuser coded) their relationship IS exhausting.

[wednesdaythesecond]

HEYYY HI <3 pls... speak more on ur petekey double suicide or mutual murder ideas Im so crazy for this - argyle

They're like the poser couple from your high school who said they were Sid and Nancy and made you hope they didn't know what that meant. They're getting married at the end of warped tour and move in together without telling anyone. Gerard wants to be happy for Mikey but warns him that he needs to be careful, especially since Pete is kinda :/ and Patrick straight up tells Pete that this is stupid decision. But Pete's like "don't you want me to be happy? I thought you wanted me to be happy :(((" so everyone drops it. For now.

And Pete and Mikey are sooooo happy. Or at least manic and riding on the high of a new marriage and actual drugs. But they're in love, they're sooooo in love <333 they don't know anything about each other but they're in love and it's perfect!!!

Until Pete starts getting pissy when Mikey spends too much time with Gerard and Mikey sleeps in a different room than Pete when he's annoyed at him. Until they only talk when they're fighting or fucking. Until their fights end with Pete threatening suicide and Mikey saying that he knows Pete won't actually do it because he's too obsessed with himself.

But they're so in love, trust <3 or maybe they're just terrified of being alone and the "I told you so" that'll come with it. But their relationship is so great when they're both too high or horny or manic to see how completely horrible they are for each other.

Also um.

I think their chosen method of double suicide would be helping slit each other's wrists. And then all all blood gets mixed together and you can't tell whose is whose. Real romantic shit.

[misteria247]

*politely break through your window*

Ok so ever since the Mutant Mayhem trailer dropped and we got to see our new anxiety ridden Leo I’ve just had the constant image of he and 12 or ShellShock Leo talking with him!

12 Leo in general is a good soundboard for venting since he’d be one to try and relate in order to open up more. And ShellShock Leo being 30 years old crossover wise he’d just. Be so worried and caring for this much younger alternate self. I made a joke a while ago about how ShellShock Leo would be the only one to not really have a kid since he has his nephews. Raph and Mona have the boys, Donnie later down the line is a secondary father figure to Venus, and Mikey later adopts a little Lita!

But the minute ShellShock Leo sees MM Leo?? He’s done for- where are the adoption papers for he and his brothers dammit!! But also MM Leo asking for leadership advice and the one thing ShellShock Leo can say is that ‘No matter what, your family will always be there. No matter of you’re fighting with them or distant from one another. Trust that they’ll be there if you ever stumble.’ Giving advice to a younger him that he’d wish he’d had!!

I’m sorry I’ve just been spiraling in ShellShock Leo and MM Leo as of late ;;

*Blinks at my politely broken window* Ah at least it wasn't rudely broken by a blue clad comatose turtle shshdhdh. Also ohmigosh yessssss-!!

Since 12 Leo is essentially your Shellshock Leo's younger self in some way he'd definitely do his absolute best to help MM Leo in anyway he can. Especially if he needs someone to vent to or ask advice on things. Though if it's advice for things that 12 Leo's not quite sure of he'll definitely send MM Leo to Shellshock Leo given that he's so much older and wiser than 12 Leo is. (That and 12 Leo may or may not somewhat look up to Shellshock Leo in certain areas such as his leadership role in his clan and his wisdom that he's acquired from his age. 12 Leo himself is still a child after all).

Also omfg Shellshock Leo adopting MM Leo I love that so much like I can see him being the ultimate mom/dad to this younger counterpart of himself. Like ahhhhh it's just so cute to think about and I'd kill for it now omfg!!!!

GUARDIANS OF GA'HOOLE!

YESSSSSSSSSS i was genuinely obsessed with guardians of ga'hoole when i was a kid. I read the entire series PLUS the wolves of the beyond series. I collected owl figurines for YEARS because of those books. genuinely still a little obsessed with the weird vocabulary those books used and how terms differed between owls/wolves/bears/etc. the fucking WORLDBUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
