Fanfic author challenge

The challenge is to post segments from 4 of your favorite fics you have written. They can be as long or as short as you wish, and you may provide the readers with some insight on why you chose this fragment. 

I was tagged by @darknightfrombeyond and @siriussblackx - thank you and sorry for what u are about to read xo 

1. Tangled Up - The Originals AU (Klaus x OC)

“…You think I’m going to screw up.”

It wasn’t a question. He knew that that’s what Calen thought – that he’d play the role of ‘Dad’ for a bit, that he’d inevitably get bored with it like he did with everything else in his life, that his visits to see Amelia would gradually lessen until they stopped altogether, and that Kol would continue to be the one to raise his child like he had done since the day she was born.

If he was entirely honest with himself, that’s what Klaus had initially thought would happen when he’d come back to town, too. He hadn’t expected his breath to still catch in his throat at the mere sight of Calen Myers, he hadn’t expected the jealousy that had flooded through him when he realised his little brother had stepped into his shoes and been the man Klaus wasn’t able to be, and he most definitely hadn’t expected Amelia to steal his heart the way she had.

But the second his little girl had looked up at him with those big blue eyes, eyes much like his own, he had fallen head over heels in love with her and he knew then that he had to be a part of her life. He wasn’t content to sit on the side lines anymore and let Kol be the father figure his daughter deserved.

His own father had always made him feel like he was never good enough, that he was nothing more than an inconvenience and he’d be damned if Amelia was going to grow up feeling that way about him.

“I’m just looking at your track record, Klaus,” Calen whispered, looking down at her hands in her lap. “I don’t want you to mess this up, but I won’t be surprised if you do. Just know that this is it, I’m not going to give you another chance. If you let my daughter down, if you hurt her, you don’t get a second chance. Mia is the most important thing in my life and I will kill you with my bare hands before I give you an opportunity to leave her like you left me.”

2. Collide - Misfits (Rudy x OC)

Almost an hour later, the five of them were changed and standing round the locker room. Simon has cleaned every trace of Alisha’s blood off his skin, and Curtis had disappeared into the hallway twenty minutes earlier with a mop and a bucket to clean away the blood in the corridor.

They had barely spoken.

As soon as she was changed, Jax had taken a seat back on the cold tiled floor, her back pressed against Nathan’s old locker.

She missed him more than anything in that moment, and she would have given anything for him to be there with them, sat next to her on the floor with an arm loosely draped over her shoulder as a reminder that he would be there when she eventually fell apart.

But it was Curtis who eventually sat down beside her, his legs stretched out in front of him and his hands in his lap as he turned his head to look at her.

“Stupid question, but… You alright?” he asked quietly, and Jax sent him a half-shrug in reply.

“I miss Nathan,” she told him hoarsely, keeping her voice low so the others didn’t hear her. “It’s stupid. I know he’d be next to useless in this kind of situation, but having him here would just… Be a bit comforting. I don’t know.”

“You loved him.”

“Maybe.”

“Nah, you did,” Curtis said simply. “We all knew you did. Couldn’t work out why, though. He was a prick.”

3. Stolen Moments - Teen Wolf AU (Isaac x OC)

There’s a really cute guy at the airport.

…Sneaky pic?

Daphne snorted at her friend’s reply and shook her head, telling Audra in no uncertain terms that she definitely was not about to take a picture of some guy.

“Mind if I join you?”

Daphne jumped at the voice, looking up and sucking in a breath as she saw him stood before her, his eyebrows raised expectantly.

“Oh, uhm, no, sure,” she stuttered, shaking her head and moving her back on to the floor so he could sit beside her. “…I thought you were leaving?”

“I was going to,” he told her with a shrug. “Until I realised there’s not much else to do until boarding, so I thought I’d come back here. I’m Isaac,” he held his hands towards her and Daphne stared at it for a few seconds, before she reached out and shook his hand. “And you are…?”

“Oh, uhm,” she laughed softly. “Daphne. I’m Daphne.”

4. Save You - The Vampire Diaries (Stefan x OC x Klaus)

“We’re going to need a new plan to stop Klaus.”

Briar paused halfway through pulling her history book out of her locker as she pressed her phone close to her ear. “What?” she whispered urgently. “What do you mean? Why?”

“Because if you don’t get here within the next ten minutes,” Ava began with a growl. “I’m going to kill the witch.”

“Ava!” Briar let out a sigh of relief, followed by a laugh. “I thought something was seriously wrong!”

“Something is seriously wrong!” Ava insisted with a whine. “I’m here on my own with your boyfriend and his idiot brother while they try to argue with their human toy and her annoying little friend. I don’t remember this being part of the plan, Briar. The only reason I’m even helping is because you insist on such a goody-goody and saving these people. What’s the point in me being here if you’re not, huh? How come you’re not here with Stefan?”

“Well because contrary to popular belief, Stefan and I aren’t actually attached at the hip.”

Ava huffed. “What I mean is, he won’t let Elena out of his sight in case Klaus tries to kidnap her or something, right? Well, what if Klaus tries to take you?”

Briar scrunched her face up in confusion. “Why would Klaus try to take me?”

“Honestly B, I feel like you’re really missing the point here.”

“Well if you’d hurry up and get to the point, maybe I wouldn’t miss it?” Briar suggested, shoving the last of her books into her backpack and slamming her locker door.

“My point is, why isn’t Stefan as bothered about protecting you?”

Briar frowned at her friend’s question. “Well, I don’t know, probably because you’re the only one who seems to think I need protecting? I can take care of myself, Ava, you know I can. I don’t need anyone to protect me, I’m-”

“A superwitch, I got it.”

Briar smirked. “I was going to say I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but sure, if you wanna call me a superwitch I’ll go with it.”

“Ugh,” Ava snorted, and Briar could just picture her rolling her eyes. “Just hurry up and get here, would you? I’m starting to get a little hungry.”

“Ava please do not kill anyone in the time it takes me to get home from school,” Briar sighed. “I’m leaving now, I’ll be there in like half an hour. Play nice!”

Endless list of OCs // Calen Myers - Tangled Up [The Originals AU]

Notes: AU. AU AU AU AU AU. I cannot stress enough how AU this is. Very AU.

*

Pregnant.

She was pregnant.

She was 18 years old, she was pregnant, and she was pretty sure she was going to be homeless when her parents found out about the whole sorry mess she had managed to get into.

She was probably about to be friendless as well - Kol was going to hit the roof when he found out.

He was probably going to disown her, Bekah would obviously side with her big brother and she couldn’t imagine Esther going against her two babies just to help her out, which meant Calen was going to be completely alone.

Not completely, she thought as her hand subconsciously made its way to her tummy.

Oh God, she was going to give up coffee. She remembered when her cousin was pregnant a few years earlier, she had given up every form of caffeine after deeming it bad for the baby.

Calen couldn’t function without caffeine – especially on very little sleep, which was what she was going to get once the tiny human in her belly started using her bladder as a squeeze toy. Actually, she had been surviving on no more than four hours sleep per night for the past week and a half since first suspecting she might be pregnant.

She hadn’t given up coffee then, of course. Nothing was definite yet and it had taken her that long to pluck up the courage to take a pregnancy test, but she had done and now that it was confirmed, she felt guilty for craving a white chocolate mocha from the local coffee shop she was headed to.

All she wanted to do was go back home, get in bed and hide under her covers for the next year, but she knew she had to tell Kol before anyone else did. She needed to explain what had happened, needed to know if she was going to lose him because of it.

She felt sick as she pushed open the door to the coffee shop, the familiar, homely smell that was usually so comforting to her doing little to settle her churning stomach or her hands that had started to shake with nerves.

“Hey Callie, he’s upstairs pretending to study,” Rebekah told her immediately, swinging her legs round on the stool as she sipped on her tea. “He told me to send you right up.”

“H-he knew I was coming?” Calen stuttered, afraid that somehow, someone has already told him the news, but the younger girl frowned at her in confusion.

“You always come round, Callie.”

“Oh,” she let out a breath of relief. “Of-of course. Of course I do, sorry Bekah,” she shook her head, making her way behind the counter and past the kitchen so she could walk upstairs to the flat that had always been empty and had somehow turned into her and Kol’s hangout spot, Rebekah tagging along with them for the last year or so (ever since her friends had realised just how hot her big brother was, Rebekah had deemed him cool enough to hang out with because it made her just that little bit more popular, much to Kol’s dismay and Calen’s amusement).

The little flat had been her escape from her home life and her overbearing parents. It had been a place to relax on her breaks when she was working at Esther’s coffee shop and a place she and Kol could study in peace (although studying usually turned into them binge watching a show on Netflix).

Jesus, she was probably going to lose her job as well. Not that she could blame Esther for firing her – Calen had betrayed Kol, her best friend in the whole entire world and Esther’s baby boy. The Mikaelson’s had been so good to her (well, most of them had), Esther had given her a job to get her out of the house and help her save a bit for college, Kol had given her sanity when her parents were driving her mad, and this is how she repays them.

She was going to end up homeless, jobless, and alone. There was no hope for her or for her little baby.

“I can feel you lurking in the hallway, Callie!”

She squeezed her eyes shut, her hand wrapped around the doorknob as she heard Kol’s voice drifting through. She loved his voice… His accent. It was the whole reason they were friends – little eleven year old Calen had been fascinated with the new British boy in her class and he had quickly become part of her little group of friends.

Of course, some of those friends had drifted away over the years, some of them had come back, but Kol had always been there from the very first day she met him right up until now.

There had been an awkward phase when they were 15 and they'd tried the whole dating thing because they felt like they had to, it was what everyone was expecting, but ultimately they (and everyone else) had realised they were better off as friends than anything more.

And now she was going to lose him.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open and stepped inside the flat, the plan she had formed to gently break the news to him running through her head. Ease him into it, explain what had happened, try and make him understand… Then drop the bombshell of who the father was.

“Hey,” she smiled weakly, seeing him lying on his stomach on the floor, his school books spread out in front of him. She was surprised to find him actually studying for once, but then she saw the laptop in front of him and realised he was just, as usual, watching Netflix.

“Hey, want one?” he asked, holding out a plate full of cookies he had undoubtedly swiped from his mother’s coffee shop.

“No thanks, I’m good,” she waved her hand at him, inwardly cursing her voice for shaking as he turned to look at her curiously, his mouth full and his eyes narrowed as he tilted his head to the side.

“What’s up?” he asked slowly. “You look like shit. You’ve not got that bug that was going round, have you? Because Rebekah only recovered a few days ago and I am not taking care of you like I had to take care of her - there’s only so much vomit a guy can deal with, y’know? Especially when I get little to no thanks for being such a good big brother and making sure she didn't die from-”

“I’m pregnant!” she squeaked, interrupting him and immediately screwing her eyes shut.

Good one, Calen. So much for easing him into it. There goes that plan.

“You’re… Sorry, what?” Kol shook his head, pushing his laptop to the side and sitting cross-legged on the floor. “You’re what?”

“I-I’m pregnant,” Calen stuttered.

“...Pregnant? With like… a baby?” he asked dumbly, and Calen raised her eyebrows. “What a silly question. Of course you’re pregnant with a baby. What else are you going to be pregnant with? You’re pregnant. With a baby. Shit.”

“Yeah,” she muttered quietly, collapsing into the armchair that Kol had managed to sneak upstairs and which Esther still hadn't noticed was missing (or was pretending she hadn't noticed was missing) for the last two months. “Shit.”

“Shit, Callie,” Kol’s eyes went wide as he ran a hand through his hair. “Are you- I didn’t even- I mean… You’re seeing someone? Obviously, you’ve been seeing someone unless this is the second coming of Christ which I highly doubt. I don’t- you didn’t even tell me you liked anyone, let alone that you were seeing someone!”

“Because that’s the important thing in this scenario? Who I’ve been seeing?” she asked incredulously. “Because I think the fact that I am going to have an actual human person completely reliant on me in a few months is a little more pressing than who I like or don’t like!”

Kol stared at her in disbelief as he shuffled across the floor until he was kneeling in front of her. “I’d say it’s pretty important, Calen, considering he’s gotten my best friend pregnant.”

“I’m- I’m not even seeing him, anyway,” she whispered, shrugging her shoulders weakly and tearing her gaze away from Kol’s. “I thought I was, I thought we were… y’know. I thought he liked me and stuff, that we could maybe make a go of things eventually? It was complicated and we… We just wanted to keep things quiet for a bit because his- because there are people that wouldn’t really approve of it?”

“Jesus Christ Calen please tell me he isn’t married.”

“Of course he’s not married, what do you take me for?!” she cried. “It’s just that… It’s complicated. But it doesn’t matter anymore anyway, because he wants nothing to do with me anymore. I spoke to him a few hours ago and… Well, whatever it was is over. He made it pretty clear that he isn’t interested in me or the baby, so I guess that’s it.”

Kol’s eyes seemed to darken and Calen gulped as his jaw clenched, his hands balling into fists at his sides. She rarely ever saw Kol angry, he was normally so happy and full of light, making her happy and making her laugh, that it always shocked her on the few occasions she saw him begin to lose his temper.

“What?” he growled.

“It doesn’t even matter-”

“Of course it matters! He’s just going to knock you up and leave you?”

“Kol honestly-”

“I’ll kill him-”

“Kol!” Calen leaned forward, grabbing one of his hands and uncurling his finger. “Please. It’s not worth it, I can… I can do this. I can have a baby.”

He swallowed, looking up at her carefully. “Calen your parents are going to kill you.”

She groaned loudly. “I know. But it’s okay, I don’t need them. I’ll… I can ask Esther for more shifts, right? And I can- maybe I can even move in here! Yeah, there’s plenty of room for me and a baby here! I can do this. I have to do this, I don’t have any other choice. Well- I do have other choices but- this is what I want to do, Kol. I can do this by myself.”

“No,” he shook his head. “No, you can’t, and you’re not going to. You don't have to do it alone. I’ll help you.”

“…Kol-”

“I’m going to help you, Callie.”

“Kol you’re going off to college-”

“Forget that,” he waved a hand dismissively. “I don’t have to go to college, I’ll get a job. We can move in here, I’m sure my mother would let us rent it for less than she would anyone else. You can’t keep working in the coffee shop all the time, not when you’re pregnant and certainly not when the baby gets here, you’re going to need time off and your parents aren’t going to be much help, are they? I’ll easily get a job, I can help you, and I can be the cool uncle, right?”

Calen’s heart jumped in her chest as she looked at the small, hopeful smile on Kol’s face and she knew she was going to absolutely shatter him with the next words that left her mouth.

“I can’t, Kol,” she told him hoarsely, tears clouding her vision as she quickly reached up and wiped her eyes. “I can’t, because you’re going to hate me.”

“What?” he frowned in confusion, his fingers curling round hers. “Calen, I could never hate you. You’re my best friend, I love-”

“The baby,” she interrupted quickly. “It’s… The father.”

“…Yeah?”

Taking a deep breath, Calen pulled her hand out of Kol’s grasp and bit down on her bottom lip, ignoring the sickly feeling swimming round in her stomach as she looked into Kol’s eyes which were full of concern.

“It’s Klaus.”
