‘ when anybody tells me i can’t do something

—— i prove them wrong ’

[linawritesficsies]

s.s. | gentle distraction

a/n: watching tvd for the umpteenth time makes me more obsessed with stefan so here's another one shot. it's also inspired in one of my fav stydia (teen wolf) scenes.

warnings: inappropriate language, mentions and/or descriptions of blood, injuries, death, anxiety, panic attack. some details may not be 100% accurate. english is not my first language. not my gif!

stefan salvatore x afab!reader.

summary: you are attacked by the katherine pierce and your worries and fears manifest in the way of a panic attack, but stefan comforts you in a very unexpected yet unique way.

🚫do NOT copy, translate or put my work thru an AI.

You got up startled and breathed heavily. Your eyes took some seconds to adjust to the lack of light in your room. Well, to be more precise, the room you had been occupying at the Salvatores’ Boarding House for a couple of weeks now. You took a glance at the clock on the nightstand: 3 A.M. Cursing to yourself, you laid down on the bed again. You hadn’t had any decent amount of sleep since the Masquerade Ball; the night you’d thought it was just about going out with your friends, but it ended up being a truly near-death experience. And obviously, your brain chose the quiet and lonely nights to make you revive all those memories.

Caroline, your closest friend, has tirelessly begged you and your group of friends to go to the Masquerade Ball at the Lockwood’s Mansion. She had recently begun dating Tyler so she wanted to make a good impression on his parents by taking all of you to the charity event that they were organizing together with the Founder's Council.

“Say again, please, how could I, that I’m not part of the Founding Families, help you look good in front of your boyfriend’s parents?”, I questioned her while we got our coffee cups from the counter at this new small shop that opened near our school.

“Well, Tyler, Stefan, Damon, and Elena have to go due to the obvious reason, Bonnie has accepted and Matt can’t make it due to his work shift. I don’t want you to feel left out”, she casually replied before giving her coffee a sip. “Besides, the more people I bring, the better the Lockwoods will look in front of other powerful families thanks to me!”

I’ve never understood how Caroline math works.

“Care, don’t worry about me. No offense taken. I have no problem with staying at home, eating pizza, watching a mov..” My speech slowed down as she frowned at me. “I’m not getting out of this, am I?”

“Y/N, you know I don’t take a ‘no’ for an answer. Come on! It will be so much fun!”

Little did she know…

You were on the dancefloor with your girl friends, Caroline, Bonnie and Elena, moving your bodies to the beat of this new party song. You were having a really good time. Of course, you’d never admit that to Vampire Barbie (as Damon often called her) because that will surely give her a free pass to drag you to any social event in Mystic Falls.

Speaking of Damon, he was at the Ball too. And so was Stefan. You’d spotted them leaning against a wall, drinking something and chatting among themselves. Your eyes rested on the youngest Salvatore for longer than you may have liked it, but you couldn’t find the strength or the willingness to look away. The black suit he was wearing made him look more handsome than he already was. You had a big crush on him since the day you met, but obviously you haven’t made any moves on him because of Elena. Now that they’ve broken up because she took a bigger interest in Damon, there might be some chance for you.

At some point his eyes found yours and he gave you a sweet smile. You gave him one of yours but then instantly looked away because you didn’t want him to know you were blushing. Probably he couldn’t tell because of the distance, but still. You excused yourself to your friends so you could go and talk to him. Any interaction with him would make coming to the Ball, wearing this long dress and these uncomfortable heels totally worth it.

Suddenly, while you were making your way towards Stefan, the power went off and silence took over the place for a couple of seconds. The people around you started to murmur, asking themselves what was going on. You tried focusing on what you managed to hear so you could find any of your friends and leave the mansion. A horrible sensation took over you.

As you were about to take your phone off your purse to turn on the flashlight, you felt a sharp pain throughout your abdomen and let out a muffled scream.

That’s when the lights were switched on again and you saw what it seemed like a butcher’s knife piercing your middle section. You heard several screams from the people around you and how they started running away. You were losing tons of blood but you couldn’t move due to the shock. You also saw the person who had stabbed you. Elena? No, that couldn’t be true. Physically, it was her; her exact same face. But the clothes were different and there was something in her eyes that wasn’t there before. Evilness.

“An early birthday present for you, Y/N. Enjoy”, she said grinning and then exited herself with supernatural speed.

What the fuck?

You couldn’t think about anything else as you felt all the energy being dragged out of your body and collapsed to the ground. Luckily, before your head hit the floor, somebody caught you in their arms.

“Y/N”, you heard Stefan’s desperate voice. He removed the knife and gave you his blood to heal you. You drank it but the injury was far deeper than what a little of vampire blood could cure, so you were struggling to keep yourself awake. It seems he could sense it as well so he grabbed your face and tried to make you focus on him. “No, no, don’t close your eyes. Look at me!” 

You gathered the almost non-existent strength you had to obey him but you could feel yourself blacking out.

“I can’t. Sorry, Stef…” that’s all you could manage to say and he shook his head.

“Y/N, look at me, don’t fall asleep”, he interrupted you but his voice appeared to be more distant; as if he was talking from the other side of a tunnel. Although your vision was blurry, you saw a second pair of hands pressing something on your abdomen. 

“Stefan, what do we do?” It was… Caroline? 

“We need to get her to the hospital. We’re losing her.”

And then, pitch darkness.

You woke up at the hospital the following day. There was a bandage wrapped all around your abdomen and your mind was foggy. Flashes of the previous night events came and went. Caroline and Stefan knocked on the room door shortly after to see how you were doing. They gave you a ‘Get better soon’ card signed by everyone, including Damon. You could picture him doing it against his will with his typical frown on his face.

“Soooo, are you going to tell me what happened last night?”

“Y/N”, Stefan started talking. “Why don’t we wait until you feel better to give you the details?”

“But, I’m already doing better. Look, I’m not bleeding”, you lifted the sheets that were covering your body to show him your clean bandage. “And I’m also fully awake”, this time you raised your eyebrows.

He squinted his eyes, not fully believing the attitude you were giving him, especially while still lying on a hospital bed. You were spending a lot of time with Damon lately.

“Ok”, Caroline continued. “The one who tried to kill you was Katherine Pierce, Elena’s doppelgänger." You looked at her nodding, as if you understood that word. You had some googling to do as soon as you got home. “And you almost did, your heart stopped for some seconds but the paramedics brought you back with CPR.”

“Why would she do that?”

“We aren’t sure yet”, it was Stefan’s turn. “The strongest theory is that you were used as a distraction. Damon saw Katherine take something from the Lockwood’s mansion and ran away. We need to go back and check what’s missing.”

“That bitch. I’m gonna…”, you started getting up from the bed but Stefan quickly stopped you.

“You are not going to do anything other than recovering. Let us deal with Katherine. We’ll make her pay for this.”

After being discharged from the hospital, Stefan suggested you go live with him and Damon since being alone in your apartment wasn’t a good idea. This way, they could keep an eye on you in case Katherine or any of her minions made an appearance.

However, regardless of who is there to protect you, the atmosphere of paranoia and uncertainty, combined with your insomnia have led you to a dark place. You were so trapped in your own rthoughts that you didn’t realize that you sat up on the bed again and started crying loudly, therefore waking up Stefan.

“Hey, Y/N”, you jumped a little due to his sudden voice. “What’s wrong?”, he asked, sitting on your bed and then cupping one of your cheeks with his hand. 

“Everything”, you chuckled despite the tears.

“Don’t worry, we’ll catch…”, you interrupted him. You were growing tired.

“I’m sorry, Stefan, it’s not that I doubt any of you, but Katherine… she is really smart. She has fooled us once and she can totally do it again… I’m…", you tried swallowing the lump in your throat. "I’m afraid to close my eyes and sleep because that way I won’t be aware of her coming in here and finishing me off.”

Stefan could actually see all these negative thoughts come in and out of your head. Your brain was like an engine. And your eyes looked like waterfalls due to your unstoppable tears.

“Or what if…", you continued. "What if I turn into a vampire?”, your breath became unsteadier ; you were panting, “What if I’m already turning into a vampire? You and Caroline… the other day… said I died but then came back. I had your blood in my system when that happened, right?” You were talking so fast that Stefan didn’t even have time to cut you off. “I don’t know, maybe someone secretly gave me human blood while I was sleeping at the hospital so I didn’t notice the transition. I can’t do this, I can’t. I…”, you took your hands to your chest as you felt the beginning of a heart attack.

“Y/N, please. Look at me", he cupped both of your cheeks with his firm hands and looked deeply into your eyes. "I need you to breathe with me. Focus on my voice”, he started inhaling and exhaling for you to copy him but it was a failing attempt. You were not paying any attention to him. Your panic attack was at its worst.

“I’m going to die”, you blurted out, with a trembling voice. You repeated that sentence over and over and over.

Stefan knew you suffered from anxiety but he didn’t imagine you (or has never seen you) like this. He mentally cursed himself for not previously asking you what to do in these situations. He tried the breathing exercise once again but it still didn’t work. He tried mentioning people and things you loved, happy things, so you'd rather focus on them, but it was also a dead end. You were absolutely trapped in your overwhelming suffering. He grew more desperate. Then, a quick memory flashed through his brain. He once read in a book that holding one’s breath may stop a panic attack. He didn’t think that covering your mouth and nose with his hand would work, so he crashed his lips onto yours. He didn’t know how you would react, but it was better than doing nothing.

Your eyes opened widely but then closed again. You were too shocked to do anything else, but still managed to enjoy the kiss. Slowly but surely, the storm inside of you died down. He was the one who pulled back after some seconds. You stayed frozen in your place, with a confused expression.

You wanted to ask him what that was for, but the words got stuck on your throat. Stefan seemed to read your mind.

“I once read somewhere that holding your breath could stop a panic attack”, he gave you a concerned but loving look. “And when I kissed you, you stopped breathing”. You stared deeply at him after his explanation.

“Did I?”, you added with a shaky and sore voice.

“You did”, he smiled softly, also lowkey shocked about how much he liked to kiss you.

You thanked him with a sincere whisper. You didn’t want to move yet, in case of breaking the spell. Of this being a dream and waking up during the best part. Your heart was still racing but now for a different reason. The good kind of racing. He also stayed there close to you. 

He continued to ask you if you were feeling better; you nodded in response. Your cheeks flushed. He started getting up from your bed to give you some space but you didn’t want that. You wanted to be as close as possible.

“Stefan, wait… Can you stay with me, please?, you pouted. Your voice came off soft and innocent. “Until I fall asleep, at least”.

“Yeah, sure. For as long as you need.”

You smiled while you moved a bit to make room for him on your bed. He laid down, resting his back on the wooden bedpost and opened his arms, inviting you to snuggle on his chest. Once you did, he wrapped his arms around your back. Your legs were also tangled with his. The sound of his heartbeat worked as a lullaby, relaxing every muscle on your exhausted body. You felt the tension and fear melt away. Your now steady breath mixed with Stefan’s. 

“Thank you for staying”, you told him, your voice was barely audible.

“Always”, he murmured while one of his hands played with your hair and the other one stroked your back gently. You could get used to this. A faint smile curved your lips as you thought to yourself: Bring it on, Katherine. I’m not afraid of you anymore. Well, you were a little bit. But with Stefan’s comforting presence, you felt you could overcome whatever evil plan she had for you.

Your eyelids started to feel really heavy with the weight of last weeks' worries. You were slowly drifting closer and closer to sleep. The last thing you recall is Stefan placing a kiss to the top of your head. 

“Rest well now, Y/N. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you again. I promise”, he whispered although he was pretty sure you couldn’t hear him due to your finally peaceful slumber.

that's the end, my friends. i'd love to read some feedback :) and, of course, if you have any request, leave them on my asks <3

August: Klaroline song-fic

Summary: Caroline forms a relationship with Klaus; a British man who’s staying in Mystic Falls for the summer with his family.

(Based off the song August by Taylor Swift)

Sneak peek:

Salt air, and the rust on your door

I never needed anything more

Seagulls squawked loudly as they flew over the beach houses that sat along the sandy coast of Mystic Falls, the smell of salt lingered in the air as the waves crashed onto the shore, the sun gleamed down on the town which caused sweat to cling to each of their bodies.

Caroline brushed a strand of her blonde locks behind her ear as she approached the Mikaelson’s holiday home– they were new to town, spending the summer in Mystic Falls rather than their home city.

A warm tray of Caroline’s famous strawberry lemon blondies rested in her hands, practically everyone that knew her raved on and on about her deliciously sugary sweet blondies. The zest of the lemon and the sweetness of the strawberries were a heavenly combo, and she was very proud of her culinary creation considering the positive feedback she received on them.

Caroline’s free hand pressed the doorbell, her eyes immediately flickering to the open window as the sound echoed through the inside of their house. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching which caused her to immediately straighten up, her perfect cheerleader smile spreading across her lips.

Her eyes flickered down to the gold, rusted door knob before the door swung open. The smell of oak mixed with a hint of vanilla overwhelmed her senses, the smell of sugary treats and salty water no longer prominent.

TVD AND KLAROLINE FANS I HAVE A FANFIC IDEA (if this fanfic does exist, I apologize ahead of time, but please do send me the link if it does exist)

Alright, so imagine if Klaus and Caroline were already in a relationship together, and Klaus had to deal with things in New Orleans (as always) and the Mikaelsons desperately want to meet Klaus's new girl that's got him completely whipped (you seriously can't tell me otherwise that the man isn't whipped)

Klaus obviously protested against it considering the dangers they were facing, but then things started getting bad, so the smartest sibling, Elijah, summoned Caroline, and she joined in on the Mikaelson New Orleans family chaos while keeping klaus from murdering his family which BTW scored a LOT of points from the other Mikaelsons.

I strongly believe Rebekah would be jealous that she is no longer Klaus's favorite but is grateful that Caroline can keep his distracted. Marcel immediately likes her and sees her as a mother figure, like he sees Klaus as a father figure and would definitely make mom and dad jokes. Elijah already loves her and has great respect for her for putting up with his brother. Kol and Davina are more impressed than someone led this long with Klaus without getting killed. Same thing with Hayley.

Of course, Hayley would not be the only bride in New Orleans, but the Mikaelsons are definitely throwing a great wedding for Caroline and Klaus. Plus, I think Hayley and Jackson would both respect Caroline more than Klaus and always go to her when it comes to supernatural politics.

Freya would definitely like her but at the same time be a little jealous since all of the family are in love with her

(Like I said, if this fanfic does exist, PLEASE SEND ME THE LINK OR POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FANFIC! I NEED IT!!!

Also, Klaus and Caroline give me such a mafia boss and his wife mixed with beauty and the beast vibe)

2x02 AU - Caroline confronts Damon after what he put her through

Redo of this edit

[misspermitted]

I've been maladaptive daydreaming about Bonnie and Kai again so I throw one of my AUs to you, ravenous hoards.

Bonkai but it’s Tom and Jerry

Crack AU where Kai isn't stabbed and left in the 1903 prison world but that sure isn't for lack of trying. Bonnie fails to stab him because either:

Elena has a badly timed self righteous moment and stops Bonnie because "we have to be better!" Bonnie, who is on thin emotional ice, snaps at Elena about double standards, which is totally not about any other issues in their friendship or anything. Bonus points if Elena is like "This isn't like you, why does Kai get under your skin so much?" And Kai is like, low key smug about it ("See Bonster, you're being the unreasonable one ;)" Bonnie is gonna set something on fire. Maybe herself)

He literally just knocks her out with magic. Bonnie forgetting she has magic and doesn't need to wrestle someone with a knife, makes sense. Kai? Who just became a coven leader and is brimming with magic? Absolutely not. After knocking her out he brings her back from the prison world because he honestly gets the eye for an eye, stab for a stab thing. That was like, his entire moral compass before the merge. Is he a little mad? Yes. But also, it was fair. Bonus points if Kai actually lets Bonnie stab him before he knocks her out like "Now we're even we can be friends :)" (they can't)

They get back and Kai is very mad at Damon and Jo for agreeing to the plan. Bonnie though, who literally just tried to kill him? He's totally cool with her. Because Kai is frustrated that people won't trust him or forgive him because he doesn't know why they won't. He doesn't understand heartbreak or trauma or loss, and why that would stop people from forgiving him. But like, the second Bonnie says "It doesn't feel very good to be stabbed in the back does it?" all of her shit makes complete sense to him. That is like, exactly what Kai said to his father when he was choking him to death. Its vengeance and a grudge. Completely reasonable. Once she gets over it she'll forgive him and they can be friends :)

Bonnie, meanwhile, wants him dead. She can't sleep. She can't eat. He has to die. Bonnie is totally fine, completely understands that her friends needed to move on and her boyfriend needed to sleep with everything and she is legally dead so can't actually go to college anymore because how do you even reverse that decision and she has to sell her fathers empty house and its all totally cool. She's not mad. Kai is the problem. The only thing she is mad about is Kai. The only thing wrong with her life right now is Kai being alive.

So Kai is trying to get revenge on Damon and Jo for betraying him and Bonnie is following him around with a fucking gun like: "just DIE." But he keeps avoiding all her murder plots while going "Hi Bon! Nice to see you. You look lovely in that coat by the way :) Same time next week?" And she is livid. He doesn't even try and kill her back! Does he not think she's a threat?! She's killed an original vampire and collapsed the veil between the living and the dead she is NOT USELESS. Bonus points that Bonnie is ranting about how she is not useless to Liv who's just like, "Girl, I fucking know. How does he escape all our murder attempts." Because I want Bonnie to get witchy friends and Liv and Bonnie absolutely match eachothers freak of:

Eventually, Kai manages to get a chance to kill Jo and avenge himself. Primarily because Bonnie is distracted by Damon's heretic drama and doesn't get in the way. (Because she might not be able to kill him, but she sure does inconvenience him. It's not like Bonnie's not incredibly competent, Kai is just very good at avoiding death.) But when he has Jo in front of him, he still can't bring himself to kill her. Or even maim her.

He also comes to the dawning realisation that if he kills Damon (which he has no emotional drawbacks doing) Bonnie won't want to be his friend. And that's one of Kai's main goals, and Kai may have emotions now like frustration and anger, but he's still incredibly goal orientated *cough cough* loses his shit because he won't achieve goal of being coven leader *cough cough*

Why does he want Bonnie to be his friend? Well why wouldn't he? Have you met her? I mean:

She's fun, he's been having a great time trying to outsmart her. Wait, you think he's mad that she's been thwarting his revenge plans? He spent 20 years being able to do whatever he wanted without resistance and let me tell you it got boring fast. And now he's coven leader so everyone kinda just does what he says, and honestly it sucks. And since he got these emotion things he's really needed to keep himself occupied because otherwise they feel terrible, and he's already figured out all the Gemini's interesting witchy woo secret spells, so trying to outthink Bonnie has been a really fun use of his time.

Bonnie is the first person he ever saw actually forgive a monster (Damon). Like, repeatedly. Seriously, he thought forgiveness was just lip service before watching that happen. And she's smart and observant and he googled his symptoms, and according to google he admires her. So if she can decide to forgive him, and actually ends up liking him, it would be fantastic confirmation that he is a different person now :)

The books say to be a good person you have to make connections with people you like, and she's funny and pretty and he enjoys it. Originally he thought that was just him seeing a girl for the first time in twenty years and getting excited, but no he definitely enjoys Bonnie way more than most people.

Drawback: she's still like, super mad at him. And he googled it (the internet is so useful) and apparently people who are mad at you need space (didn't help him but hey, he didn't have emotions before). And he can't get revenge on Jo or Damon anymore. And honestly the heretic business is starting to get on his nerves. So he just leaves.

Bonnie is furious because she needs to kill him and now he's just gone? But I have to kill him! What do you mean he's not a problem anymore? What are you talking about of course he is- no Caroline I'm not being unreasonable I need him dead and he just leaves why does he keep LEAVING- (Bonnie has a lot of issues. Even Liv is like "chill." Bonnie does not, in fact, chill. She's totally not also been using her plots to kill Kai as a way to avoid her emotions. Because her and Kai aren't similar at all.)

And now, for the rest of the show, Bonnie keeps randomly disappearing for episodes on end because she's on yet another roadtrip to kill Kai. He keeps escaping her plots. It's hilarious. This is great for a few reasons:

1) Solves the "Bonnie is OP" plot problem

While a majority of the reason Julie Plec wanted to write Bonnie out was because of racism, Bonnie does also pose a bit of a writer problem. Essentially, there is a point in TVD where Bonnie gets like, so much more powerful than everyone other protagonist. But TVD can't actually scale up their villains to match her because everyone else would literally just die or be useless. So whenever TVD wants to do a plot with stakes they've got the good old LOTR "Why didn't the eagles just fly them to Mordor" problem. Why can't Bonnie fix this immediately? And so we get the "Bonnie loses her powers" which, fun the first two times, a bit old the third, and fucking infuriating the fifteenth time. Then we have the "Bonnie, usually hyper competent, acts uncharacteristically dumb" which is somehow even worse. Or "the camera hasn't panned to Bonnie in this scene even though she's definitely there, and would definitely be doing something right now. One can assume she's just staring at a wall?"

This fixes that problem! Whenever the writer's need Bonnie gone for a plot to have stakes they can just send her on a Kai hunt. People are like, "Oh no this evil vampire has come back Bonnie can you- Bonnie? Bonnie where are you going?" "I just got a lead on Kai I gotta go." "Bonnie we're literally about to be attacked by a vampire can this wait?" "I'll just be a second." "Bonnie wait get out of the car-" "Call me if you need me." "We will need you to do a sp-aaand she's gone."

Another bonus of this AU is Damon is annoyed as hell about this. Totally not jealous that she keeps disappearing on him even when he asks her to stay to go chase Kai. (This is all part of my evil plan for Bonnie's angry obsession with Kai to actually be helping her establish boundaries)

She comes back after ten episodes and Caroline's all slightly amused "So is he dead?" And Bonnie's like "Don't talk to me." She also smells a lot like roses for some reason? (Eventually Caroline asks and apparently Bonnie woke up surrounded by 555 yellow roses because she "looks good in yellow." Caroline thinks Bonnie's exaggerating. She is not.)

My headcanon btw is that Caroline is our first shipper. Or at least, realises there's more to Bonnie's obsession with murdering Kai. I mean, every time Bonnie comes back from a Kai hunt shes actually calmer and happier then she was before, despite it being a fail. Caroline actually thinks it might be weirdly healthy for her.

2) Bonnie gets to actually be a witch!

Don't you love how Bonnie has the whole expression arc where she realises she has to connect with the spirits and nature to be a good and happy witch, and then they never have her doing that? Don't you love how Bonnie's entire story could've been about self acceptance because she was raised separated from communities including her grandmother who could understand her, repeatedly told she wasn't different and taught to act like something she's not by her father who was ashamed of and hated her background? And her finally having a good relationship with the spirits and her ancestors could've been a way of accepting herself and who she is? But instead they kept taking away her powers, having her never interact with other witches, and tried to fix it with a romance that they also ruined immediately? Because I sure don't.

This way, Bonnie can travel the world! While she's hunting Kai! She can talk to other covens (because he'll probably be pissing them off, lets be honest). She'll be working on her magic consistently in order to overpower him, and learning more about magic in order to counter his.

Bonus points for Bonnie accidentally becoming friends with most of the Gemini coven. Because she keeps running into them trying to kill Kai and they're all fucked up enough to match her insanity. Liv is the beginning of this trend but Bonnie eventually ends up like, becoming roommates with an actual Gemini siphon and Kai is sulking in the corner like "Why does she want to be friends with that siphon and not me..." (buddy, you being a siphon is not the problem)

Gemini coven meeting and Sandra is like "Oh I had coffee with Bonnie the other day!"

And then fucking Gerald on the opposite side of the table perks up: "Ooo I haven't seen her in forever, how was she?"

"Good, she doesn't like the new Iron Man though which is crazy."

Over on the other side Beatrice is like: "It's true we went to see that together last week."

And Kai's like, "So do you think she wants to join-" And is immediately no'd. Bonnie does not want to join the Gemini coven. She will never want to join the Gemini coven. Stop asking.

And then he goes home and curls up with a tub of icecream and some pork rinds like "I wanna see movies with Bonnie :(" Before purposefully doing something to blow his cover so she tracks him down again.

3) The pure fucking comedy potential

Seriously no dynamic has ever been this funny. The Tom and Jerry dynamic has no equal. Kai lures Bonnie to an abandoned apartment building. There are rumours he's doing blood magic. She enters. It is a decked out movie theatre with couches and string lights. He offers her popcorn. They're watching Bladerunner now?

She poisons his drink and when he drinks it she goes "So much for the all knowing Gemini coven leader! That was poison." And he's just like "Oh I know :)" "You... know?" "Yeah but I didn't wanna be rude. This is the first thing you've made me you know? I have the antidote here. Amazing poison by the way its really well made, could barely taste it." Bonnie is losing her mind.

4) Bonnie is more than a solver of problems

Bonnie gets her own goals she's plotting towards, rather than constantly always helping Damon or Elena or Caroline with their things. Like, the reason Bonnie's obsession with Kai is actually kind of healthy for her is that she sets boundaries about it. If anyone ,even her friends, try to stop her she absolutely snaps at them. No she will not relinquish her grudge against Kai for you, she will not relinquish it until he's dead.

She gets entire plot points where she isn't being constantly overshadowed by all the other characters. And, just to absolutely disclaimer, Kai is not superior to Bonnie in this AU. He's not getting out of her attempts on his life because he's outsmarting her every single time. He is just supernaturally good at not dying. There are times when she wins and he narrowly escapes.

They're fairly evenly matched which is why Kai (and totally not also Bonnie) enjoy it. They're pulling a whole Sherlock Holmes esq "he knows that I know that he knows-" for every murder plot and literally no one else can follow it.

Though you'd think eventually Kai would get unlucky and die by Bonnie's hand, no matter how slippery he is. Except, shockingly, as this goes on Bonnie's murder plots get more and more convoluted, and you could swear there have been some moments where she could've killed him, but didn't. How bizarre...

5) Doesn't rule out BonEnzo at all

The thing about this AU is that, how I see it, it is a very very slow burn. They might not even end up in a "relationship" relationship at the end. Like Bonnie is slow burning into having a friendship that isn't transactional, she doesn't have to earn affection, people can just actually like her. Even when she's being actually insane. And Kai is slow burning realising he hasn't become an entirely different person, but that's kind of okay because Bonnie still likes him somehow so maybe you don't need to be someone's monster just because you're not their perfect son/brother/friend. Maybe there is a middle ground. Anything more than this slow burn is a bonus.

Also for me this friendship slow burn needs to happen before anything else. We're not just randomly having a sex scene. It doesn't make sense for the characters. Are they both attracted to eachother? Yes. But Bonnie is not emotionally impulsive enough to just sleep with someone because she's attracted to them, she's been fucked over too many times. And Kai's number one priority is being friends with Bonnie so he really doesn't want to make her madder at him than she already is, and apparently sleeping with a woman is a whole thing and can make them mad at you. So he will not be doing that.

In this sense, Bonnie can one hundred percent have a relationship with Enzo without it causing any issues. In fact, I can 100% see the dynamic being:

Bonnie: (◡‿◡🌸)

Bonnie: (ʘ‿ʘ🌸) Kai is in Virginia

Bonnie: (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ🌸 Enzo hold my flower

Enzo: 🌸＼(｡^_^｡) A roadtrip? Lovely. Kick his ass baby I got your flower

I know, "but wouldn't Kai get jealous?" I don't know he seemed pretty keen to help out Jeremy and chat with him about how much Jeremy loves Bonnie. Really I feel like BonEnzo plus Kai in this crack world would essentially boil down to:

After Bonnie tries to kill Kai they regularly just, have a debrief session, where both Enzo and Kai talk about how ingenious Bonnie's shield spell was! Absolutely, you know she found that spell in some ancient witch book that no one could translate and then translated it in three days?

Kai: No kidding? And she used it on me :D

Enzo: Isn't she just terrifyingly powerful?

Kai: Yep. Hot.

Enzo: I could not agree more.

Bonnie, who just woke up tied to a couch with a glass of whiskey and a gourmet meal in front of her: Enzo is now really the time

"Wouldn't Enzo get jealous?" No because he's secure in his relationship with Bonnie, next question.

(Bamon could also work with this too I guess. A different dynamic because he 100% would get jealous and I mean, I don't like the ship so I'm not gonna put it in my headcanon, but you could do it)

KLAROCHILD AU: SERVING ANGST

[turn up your brightness]

E: I can't believe I fell for your crap. K: Listen- E: I thought you were different- K: I've not lived a honorable life, and you know that. E: Since when do you care- ?! K: But doing this, taking the darkness into myself so no one else is afflicted by it, that is a honorable death. And I can do that. I can do it- E: I want to go with you.

Editor Note: hii! this is the first time ever I do something like this on After Effects, so please, be nice. The girl is Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) from the show ''Wednesday'', which is why I wrote her as ''E'', but you can call her however you want! Personally, I'll always see her as Eve Forbes-MIkaelson from @galvanizedfriend 's fanfiction series ''The Wolf'', which is also the thing that motivated me the most to created this silly video. Let me know if you would like more!

"Elena is stuck in the void. Well, her soul is. And I can't get to her." Bonnie sighed. "I hope you arrested the Versailles witch?"

Elijah drew a painful silent breath. This was exactly what he had feared when Elena suggested they use her to cross over to the Ancestral plane to collect the damning evidence against the Versailles witch. He had no strength to talk. He answered shortly that they got the witch.

Meanwhile, in St. Charles Surgical Hospital, Agent Stefan Salvatore stood next to the bed Elena lay motionless, but breathing serenly.

"It's such a relief that the baby is all right." Caroline said.

Stefan nodded slighty, and remained silent.

"Who is going to look after her? Are you going to stay in New Orleans?" Caroline turned to her ex-husband.

"No. The baby is not mine." Stefan then said.

"Excuse me - but you said-" Caroline looked at him baffled.

"They had run some test a few days ago- amnio etc. I'm not the father. The child is AB+"

"Sorry -I don't get it." Caroline looked puzzled.

"Elena is blood A+, and I'm A-. The baby can only have blood type A or 0." Stefan explained.

"Who is the father then?"

At that moment Elijah walked in the ICU room and greeted the Agent and Elena's High School friend with a small nod.

HOMECOMING

klaroline - footballer x cheerleader au

Caroline Forbes stood on the sidelines, her heart pounding with anticipation as the final moments of the championship game ticked away. The Timberwolves, had fought tooth and nail for this victory, and now, with the scoreboard in their favour, victory was within their grasp.

“History has been made tonight as the Timberwolves claims victory in one of the most unforgettable games of the season!" The announcer's voice boomed across the stadium, setting off a wave of cheers and celebrations.

Caroline couldn't contain her excitement as she embraced her squad, and chanted their cheers for the last time tonight. Tears of joy filled her eyes as she scanned the football field, searching for one person in particular.

And there he was, her boyfriend, Klaus Mikaelson, the captain of the Timberwolves' football team, running towards her with a victorious grin on his face. Caroline's heart skipped a beat as she watched him approach, feeling all the butterflies in her stomach. 

"Klaus!" she exclaimed as he reached her, unable to contain her joy. Without hesitation, he lifted her up in his arms, spinning her around in a whirlwind of happiness. Caroline's laughter bubbled up as she clung to him, feeling the rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins.

As Klaus set her back down, their eyes met, and Caroline felt a jolt of electricity pass between them. She wrapped her arms around him, savouring the warmth of his embrace.

"You were amazing out there! I'm so proud of you," Caroline said, her voice soft and endearing as she leaned in to kiss his cheek.

"Thank you for being here tonight, love," Klaus let out, his voice breathless after the game.

Caroline pulled away from him slightly, but laced her arms around his neck. "Seriously? I would NEVER miss your games, you should know that by now. Also, I gotta be on watch out for all of your groupies back there," she teased, nodding towards the crowd of adoring fans.

Klaus flashed her his trademark dimpled smirk, his eyes sparkling with affection. “Well unfortunate for them, I’m spoken for, ” he said, leaning down to press his lips to hers in a passionate yet tender kiss, sealing his victory once again with her by his side.

Non-Exhaustive List of Soulmate Fics: Klaroline Pt 2

Okay, I'm bored so I'm compiling my favorite soulmate fics. Here's the Klaroline edition:

All I Need by emeraldvixen

Summary:

In which I vaguely follow TVD canon and write the soulmate/werewolf mating AU which absolutely no one asked for. OR The one in which Klaus finds his soulmate, gets bitten, hides his mating mark from her and waits for the day she'll let him give her one back. Fluffy, mildly angsty slow burn with possible super hot hybrid smut in later chapters. *Nominated for a KC Award in the Best Smut Multi-Chapter category*

With Roses in my Hands by emeraldvixen

Summary:

Soulmate AU inspired by a Tumblr post, in which anything you paint on your skin appears on your soulmates skin too. I believe the original poster is let-gavin-free. Winner of the 2020 KC Award in the Best AU supernatural one-shot category.

Entanglement by sunshineandfangs (Avana)

Summary:

Soulmates were a complicated phenomenon that no one quite understood, as neither science nor magic nor ambitious combinations of the two could definitively explain how the connection worked. But for the most part, people were happy to have soulmates: platonic, romantic, multiple, or otherwise. Then there were the exceptions... Unfortunately, Caroline Forbes had one Niklaus Mikaelson as her soulmate, and no amount of advanced warning could really prepare her. Unfortunately for Niklaus Mikaelson, no one saw fit to warn him of the force of nature that was his soulmate.

Jar of Hearts by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

In a society where vampire allegiance is worn openly on their skin, Caroline Forbes is anomaly. She woke from transition marked by a single triangle. For six decades, she's hidden the truth of her allegiance, refusing to abandon what family she has left. Klaus Mikaelson's sudden appearance in Chicago bodes well for no one. For Klaus has spent five hundred years burying the truth of his curse, given as bloody vengeance for the death of Katerina. Klaus has a soulmate.

A Thousand Years and then Some by slstmaraudersjple

Summary:

"C'mon love, what's a little murder between soulmates?" Klaus discovers his soulmate as he kills her. Unbeknownst to him, she dies with vampire blood in her system and returns as a vampire. Unfortunately for him, she leaves Mystic Falls and spends the next couple centuries running from him. Never let it be said that they weren't stubborn. One-shot. Or, in which the Caroline and Klaus discover that they are soulmates when Klaus kills her, and a displeased newly born baby vampire spends the next couple centuries running from him and his family while living in denial. But the Mikaelsons play the long game, and they play for keeps… and that includes Caroline. Klaroline featuring the Mikaelson siblings (no Freya).

No Rest for the Wicked by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

When Bonnie goes missing, Caroline returns to New York City in the hope that she can find her before their past catches up. But New York's supernatural underbelly is ruled by the unforgiving Mikaelson Syndicate. With nightmares awaiting around every corner, complications arise when a simple one night stand changes everything.

Burn For Me by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

Ambassador Caroline Forbes is returning home to take up the mantle as Princess and to marry her betrothed, Tyler Lockwood. But a rest stop quickly becomes a problem, as she finds herself dealing with not only dragon claiming magic, but the dragon.

Standing Outside of Heaven by Cupcakemolotov

Summary:

When Caroline Forbes is sixteen, she's cursed by a demon. Forced to flee from her coven, she learns that not all curses are what they appear, and that demons can take many forms. Including the shape of her soul mate.

[juniperhillpatient]

honestly the more I think about it Katherine’s little trick of compelling an entire small town & basically letting them live their lives / making sure they were safe for the most part & treating it as a blood bank drinking from people but not killing them was objectively way more ethical than Stefan’s method of unregulated animal hunting. like Damon compels people to let him drink & then makes them forget too & I don’t think that’s a bad thing per se but he does also frequently kill people for fun & entertainment & while I think that’s just him being a little silly if we’re being objective I guess it’s bad. Elena & Caroline stealing blood bags from the hospital while treated as the most ethical option (aside from hunting animals as if unregulated hunting isn’t terrible for the environment not to mention the fact it makes the vampires weaker & more susceptible to attack / less able to protect their human friends which is bad) is actually the WORST option the more I think about it. hospitals already have trouble getting enough blood donations. just because you’re not doing the act of murder you’re basically killing people who are expecting blood transfusions by stealing blood from a hospital. especially in mystic falls where people need an unusually high amount of blood transfusions I’m sure! Like cmon. I’m not saying Katherine actually did anything she did to be a good person she was clearly just being pragmatic but the people in her little “we love Katherine” town were happy. Who cares if they had to donate blood to her every now & then? they literally didn’t mind. in conclusion katherine pierce if ur reading this I have really easy to find veins & -
