it had never occured to me there are people who watched the same show and read the same book series as me who’ve come out of it believing lila doesn’t genuinely love enzo. thinking her choice to enter a relationship was out of necessity, since she knew enzo was more than fond of her. or that because motherhood was difficult for lila, her pregnancy with tina must not be an earnestly made decision. and that it was enzo’s way of ‘taming’ her… horrible, horrible.

how incredibly insulting to both lila and enzo.

"Damon," he sighed. Enzo's sense of self-worth was next to zero, due to being a street urchin no one wanted in his human life, then thoroughly tortured and dehumanized for seventy years as a vampire. . . But Damon's level of self-loathing was truly a terrible marvel to behold. He loved the man so fiercely, and hearing him talk about himself like this broke his heart.

Vampire speed took him from across the room to mere steps in front of Damon in the blink of an eye, and Enzo took the other man's face in his hands.

"I have never believed anything more," he said firmly. "You are not some defective thing to be cast aside, Damon. You became exactly who you needed to be. A survivor. I wouldn't change anything about you. For as much as you frustrate me at times, and God knows that you do, I love you just as you are. I have since we shared those pitiful cells together."

Well. Enzo hadn't necessarily meant to say that, but he wasn't going to take it back, either. It was true. Damon could take it however he wanted, it would still be true.

The Princes of Hell were often like unwanted stenches - cockroches one simply couldn't be rid of. As if he'd stepped from the shadows the Lord of Lies appeared and slipped his hands under the arms of his "nephew", hoisting the child up against his hip and moving after Talia. With a tut he warned the nanny to back off, dangerous amusement glimmering behind deceitfully sweet eyes.

"I always found Michelangelo's work overstated."

Enzo mused, barely turning a lash toward the artwork and instead using the fingers of his free hand to press Valak's nose in lightly. He smiled wide at the child, laughing when Valak did, all things a normal loving uncle might do.

"I like the sculptor who was commissioned to make Lucifer, then was fired because he made him too beautiful. So they hired the sculptor's brother ... and he made Lucifer even more beautiful. Amusing."

A beat. Finally he turned his attention to Talia.

"You came all the way to Rome to admire old art?"

WHERE : The Vatican Museum ⸻ by the The Sistine Chapel . WITH : open to anyone.

❝ ⸻ Make sure he doesn't run too far ! ❞ Talia called out to the nanny she had hired ( a demon that worked and worshipped her every move ) to take care of her son , VALAK . Walking around the chapel that many demon would avoid , talia felt nothing and easily could step in sacred grounds without withering in pain or burning up . perks of being a prince. ❝ I sure did miss this place ❞ the woman muttered as she looked at its Renaissance frescoes by Michelangelo . her voice echoed through the chapel .

Taking a Beat [Avin/Inez]

"Super real," he laughed, "I couldn't make that up if I tried." Though Avin was a creative, he didn't see it that way, not aways. "Or we could go with Troll 2, the only troll movie. There is no Troll 1, not to be confused with the animated kids movie Trolls," he snickered.

CLOSED STARTER

How long had it been?

Ophelia had stopped counting after the first few years. Immortality blurred time, softened it into something unrecognizable. She was told to forget—to erase the past and move forward, to become what she was meant to be. A true vampire. But how could she, when the man she loved haunted her every waking moment?

Ophelia had felt Enzo’s coldness long before she left. A quiet distance, like a chasm silently forming between them. She tried not to think of him, tried to bury him with the rest of her mortal ties. But somehow, the witch still found his way into her mind. Into her dreams. In them, he lay beside her. His arms wrapped around her, bare skin warm beneath her cheek as she rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heart—something she no longer had.

If her father could see her now, he would be livid. She remembered the night of her turning vividly: family gathered, proud smiles all around as she transitioned into undeath. Her father, stern and proud, told her clearly—the witches are our enemies. What he didn’t know was that his daughter had already given her heart to one: the son of the coven’s head witch.

And despite everything—despite what she’d become, despite the years that changed her—Ophelia now stood beneath his window. She’d heard whispers over the years. Enzo had risen in power. He was head of the coven now. Untouchable. Dangerous.

Consequences be damned, she thought.

The soft, idealistic girl she once was had long since faded. Time had made her harder, more selfish—arrogant, even. What was the point of being good, when goodness brought her nothing but grief?

Still… something human lingered.

Her love for Enzo.

She slipped into the room with silent steps, every movement deliberate. If she was caught here, they’d flay her without hesitation. But part of her believed—hoped—that he would protect her. That he would still want her. Still love her.

Then, he appeared—tall, composed, shadowed in candlelight. Her breath caught.

"My love," she whispered. "I've missed you."

🩺 → "you." it's a statement made in a barely audible hushed whisper from the gemini as the party started to get into full swing. for weeks the hospital had been hemorrhaging blood bags, and security was clueless, even after watching security footage, as to who could be responsible. rent-a-cops be damned, she found the briefest clip of footage, and she knew what he looked like, and could assume why he was taking the blood, but no way to track him down... until now by the refreshment table. moving through the crowd to come up to the vampires side, she's patient and casual as she offers advice in a harsh whisper meant for his ears only "look, don't know your name, frankly, i don't care. i know you're the one stealing from my blood bank. it ends now, do you understand me? do it again, and you'll regret it." grabbing a glass of water from the refreshment table. "you don't want to fuck with me, got it? find somewhere else to get your supply."

this limbo they’re putting lone star in is worse than if they’d just cancel it outright

🧇 → everything set up is a sight to behold, from the pumpkin patch to the mystic grill, and it leaves the paramedic more than a little shocked by the display of it all. in atlanta it wouldn't have surprised him, but it was certainly more than he expected from the sleepy virginian town. "do you know if mystic falls always goes all out for halloween like this? or is there something special this year?"

[nataliedcluca]

who: @enzoadeluca where: kelly's auto

Nat could afford another ding against her insurance, but she wasn't sure that he same would be said about the new owner at the shop. Her 4runner would survive the damage that she'd done under the hood and the flat tire that had mysteriously appeared right before she called for a tow, and a ride to the shop. There were no questions asked considering how many years she'd spent around the shop when her old man ran the place, but Nat hadn't been there since his death as she rode shotgun all the way there. She tumbled out of the seat when it parked, spotting the reason for all her dramatics as she planted a hand on her hip and called out to her brother. "You know you're a hard man to get a hold of. One would almost think you're avoiding me."

🏹 → after a long day, all john gilbert was to rest - and imagine his surprise when he found a familiar, but unwelcome face in his home. " - what the hell are you doing in my house?" what had elena gotten them into now?

@expt12144

💰 → one of the projects carol had been overseeing was a downtown revitalization project, working on repainting and cleaning up the area to bring it back to it's former glory. light posts, city buildings, and the parks - with the most recently finished project being one of the parks closest to her office. where high school kids used to sneak off to drink leaving trash in their wake was a lush green and serene place with local vegetation in place to keep it sustainable. the work would be officially unveiled in the next few weeks, but she couldn't help but admire the work - and she found she wasn't alone. "beautiful, isn't it?"

[stefanoasalvatore]

@expt12144

🩸 → moving along the room, he tried to remember who all had been involved that wasn't beyond help now - jeremy, matt, and it wouldn't be long until he joined them. bonnie, caroline, and... the salvatore spotted the unfamiliar face he'd seen in the confusion. a vampire he'd noticed earlier in the evening, not one he recognized, written off as an acolyte of klaus or some sort of associate of damon's. even with the violence that had befallen him, he couldn't write off any possibility. after all, what had care ever earned him but the hastily patched wound on his shoulder? none of it mattered now, and just because he didn't know the vampire, that didn't mean that he couldn't care. "look - normally i'd take the time for proper introductions but we don't a lot of time - did they bite you?"

[painofhumanity]

@crowsalvation gets a starter

"If you think that you can ply me with charm and libation, and all will be forgiven, you are sadly mistaken, Damon. It'll take far more than your usual party tricks to win me over." Truth be told, all it would take for Enzo to move on was a sincere apology or a plea to start over; just something that made Enzo feel. . .wanted. But it wouldn't hurt Damon to make him work for it a bit.

🩺 → "you look like you're feeling better..." the witch, literally and figuratively, remarked with a smile. "glad to see you made it out tonight."
