#i feel like the boy ends up being close to Klaus

[thewalrusespublicist]

Hello! Love your blog and your takes, objective and sane and well researched chefs kiss! I had a blast scrolling through it like it was my feed yesterday lol can you elaborate on klaus and Paul if possible? People mostly talk about them like it’s already understood but I don’t understand 😭 I’m kinda lost on their (all of them, including stu) dynamic during the hamburg years specifically when it comes to Paul

Aww thank you anon! Tbh I was starting to feel a bit down about my blog and what I was putting out ( the eternal crisis on how to give full answers and opinions without being stupid, boring and annoying lol). So I really, really needed this. :)

Oh Paul vs/and the Exsis, it's quite a long one so buckle up.

Disclaimer: all of the people involved are essentially art kids/young adults who are famously the most exhausting people on the planet. Do not blame them for being dramatic, it's their natural state of being.

If we want to go into Paul and Klaus, we have to kind of start with the John, Paul and Stu. Now these three are a mess that's too big to go into here (though I have THOUGHTS about how Stu is utilised in the Beatles narrative that I'm more than happy to share if asked lmaooo). But in short(ish):

John and Paul had had an intense year and a bit of closeness. Then John meets Stu at art college.

John and Stu become c l o s e for many reasons (being peers, living together, similar artistic leanings + ego, Stu being a gentle guide to John, sharing art projects/poetry/long letters and feelings etc.) They became 'closer than two men' a friend had seen (remind us of anyone gang?). Most importantly, John could be open about his feelings with Stu in letters. If John had BPD which I subscribe too, I think Stu was his 'favourite person' and as Aunt Mimi said his 'special' and 'closest friend' from this period up until his death (though imho the transference back to Paul was starting prior to his death).

It's not clear what exactly happens as there's differing accounts but Stu uses his money to buy a new bass as John wants him to come to Scotland then Hamburg and play bass as he will 'look good'.

Paul doesen't like being relegated to the seat behind John and Stu when he used to sit next to John. He also isn't thrilled when he gets to Hamburg and not only does he get to sleep in the other room with just Pete but Stu cannot be arsed to play because he's hanging out with his hot new girlfriend Astrid (more on her in a sec). Our boy has spent a lot of money he doesen't have and given up on further education to be here and is jealous and annoyed.

Paul and Stu probably were friends and I think their mutual antipathy is overegged. HOWEVER, can't be denied that Paul is jealous of Stu and Stu is jealous of Paul (and getting flare-ups from increasing brain damage). John and Stu tease Paul and steal his money, Paul is mean to Stu (as are the others encouraged by John). Do I think John was playing games with both of them? Yup. They end up scuffling onstage because Paul said something about Astrid (not clear what, one account is that Paul said that Stu could borrow money off Astrid if he needed it which isn't really that bad a dig but who knows Yoko??).

Why is this dynamic important? Because it directly impacts the 'Exsis' (Klaus, Jurgen and Astrid's) group's relationship with Paul:

The Exsis were young artists living in Hamburg. They were artistic, cool, interesting and edgy. They were paramount in introducing the Beatles to cool new concepts, aesthetics and ideas. They also took themselves VERY seriously ie pretentious as all hell.

Astrid met Stu at Kaiserkeller and hit it off. They embarked on an all-consuming romance.

Letter from Stu to Astrid, c.1961

I've seen people say they were the proto-John and Yoko in terms of making their romance the whole world and influencing John years down the line and I can see that. With Astrid and Stu it's far more endearing though because they ARE young and the right age to have a relationship like that. Stu is popular with the Exsis in general and brings them into the Beatles group.

The Exsis didn't like or trust Paul. Astrid said later it was because Paul was 'too nice' which she herself admits is a ridiculous reason. The others also thought he was a bit of a show-off. It makes sense though if you're cool and edgy and want to stick it to the world to be sus about a guy being friendly show-off with seemingly no inner world. The other problem was a perfectly reasonable one imo, you're not going to like your friends frenemy who you don't connect with. Compound that with Paul not taking drugs as much as George or John and being in the other room and you begin to have a division.

Paul had been popular his whole life, like from what we know since-primary-school-popular. He had never been in this position before, let alone in a foreign country. I believe it became a bit of a brutal feedback loop. Paul's response to this type of behaviour consistently it to go more surface level, snide and passive aggressive. The natural response of any group with a designated 'ugh' person is to become more shady and exclusionary. The cycle continues and gets worse. Stu letters back home at this time says that in a shocking turn of events Paul is hated by everyone but Stu 'just feels sorry for him' (lmao OF COURSE you do Stu, its giving 'loathing' from Wicked lol). Klaus drew a lot of artwork of the early Hamburg Beatles that includes this highly unpleasant picture of Paul in 1961 which I think says a lot:

Klaus is also a musician and fancies himself a place on bass. When Stu leaves to pursue art, Klaus asks John if he could take over but John says that he thinks Paul is going to do it.

Klaus has later gone on to say that he thinks he was a better bass player for the Beatles' sound at the start and then Paul developed into being better for the group. It's one of those I cannot believe those words actually left your mouth and you are not deeply embarrased moments. But it's important to keep this desire and viewpoint in mind.

Klaus stays in touch with all of them and close to John and George, George especially. They visit Klaus on holiday in tenerife in early 60s and Klaus later draws the Revolver artwork.

This whole context of how they met and Hamburg is crucial and has to be taken into account when hearing Klaus' statements. Klaus and Paul started off with a lack of connection and with Paul on the outs, the Exsis got an incomplete view of Paul and an inaccurate snapshot of the Beatles dynamic overall. This is why when Klaus says 'Paul was always slightly apart from the others' and that 'divorce was inevitable' from early 60s we should remember that that is what Klaus is expecting to see as that's what he saw in Hamburg.

Klaus wanted to be the bass player (and was holding out hope to join a band with George and John in the 70s), was really close with George and suffers as many did with 'John Lennon aspiring boy bestie syndrome' (JABBS). Paul had what Klaus wanted and from the Hamburg experience, you could see why Klaus thought he might have an in and may have been jealous of this 'shallow' Paul of all people having the connection that he felt he should/could have with John and George. As with most sufferers of JABBS, he took John's side with everything, always refused to say any regrets about his involvement in How do you Sleep and thought Paul was fine with the song because 'he was even closer to John than [he] was. (Again Klaus to put yourself in that level of closeness with John that it's comparable to Paul is ???.) JABBS and its secondary condition PMIETGSH (Paul McCartney isn't even that good shut up) are virulent diseases that incapacitate sufferers objectivity and judgement, so it's fair to say that Klaus is a source you have to take with a pinch of salt on the early 70s period.

It seems that Klaus and Paul did get on a lot better the older they got (probably without the jealousy complication of George and John) and developed a sweet friendship. Here is Klaus' tribute to Paul for his 80th:

Here is the jam session he's talking about:

He now wants Paul to live in his house lmao so things have gotten warmer. But Klaus and Paul's dynamic is a great example of how and why natural bias, little jealousies and spats can consciously or subconsciously influence our internal narrative and why we need to be so careful about not taking one perspective as gospel.

Hello Love, I was wondering if you would write one Dark! Yandere!Mafia! Bucky and Klaus x chubby reader, where they meet her at the park while she was having a stroll and a random group of boys start disturbing her, Klaus gets furious and bucky is already on the move, they save her and from then on they become friends according to the reader's perspective but to them she is already their Princess. They keep an eye on her, put security around her apartment as well as her work space and any man who even dares to look at her gets to face their wrath. One day they decide that they have had enough and kidnap her, obviously she is terrified but seeing them she is heart broken how can they do this to her but they don't think this to be an offense and begin courting her. Eventually she falls for them and you can continue Idk..... They tell her stories about the evil that lurk in the shadows just so they could keep her close making her feel safe in the hands of the Devils . Can you also write about how she is the one who kills Mikael when he attacks Klaus since Bucky was absent and she cannot bear someone hurting her Nikky. When Bucky returns he finds out about the whole event and is so proud of his Doll but it was her first murder and now she is so full of guilt and Klaus is doing a terrible job of comforting her so he takes the matter into his own hands...... Idk can I request a fluffy ending at the last. Sorry the request is too long. It would be great if you could write this one shot....... ( This is my first request)

(P.S. - My hands are shaking writing this up, I am super nervous)

I love you very much and your writings just make my day , if you don't feel comfortable you don't need to write it up.

Bye Love.

A Strange Kind of Love -Yan!Mafia!Bucky B./Klaus M.

It’s actually a very interesting idea and I like it a lot. I assumed you wanted a human AU. I went against my instinct on this one since you didn’t ask for a Daddy Kink so it does not contain DD/LG content

Also, you never need to be nervous to make a request, I don’t judge anyone for the things they want to read. I’m sure you can tell from the things I write (that range from strange to truly fucked up) that I understand wanting to read specific things or kinks or relationships and honestly (especially after writing this) I want to do more KlausxOCxBucky cause they’re so cute together with their Princess (so if you have more ideas make your requests). Never worry about your requests cause trust me, everyone on this app has thought about (and read) weirder in every way🤣

Thank you for the compliments btw, I’m so glad you love my stories so much. I never in a million years would have thought people would like them so much but it makes me so unbelievably happy🥰

Warning: Smut! Threesome, Breeding Kink, Kidnapping, Mentions of abuse, Mikael being a Dick

Bucky and Klaus hadn’t meant to be in the park that day at all. They had just gotten done taking care of a group of idiots who thought they could come into the Mikaelson’s city and do whatever they wanted. To their credit, Bucky had given them a warning, they just chose not to listen and Klaus had run out of patience, deciding that setting their house on fire sounded like fun. On the way out the cops were between them and their car so they had their man pull around the park and they would meet them.

On their way through the park to the car, they came across a scene that angered the both of them. A women, holding her bag tightly and trying to move away while 3 men were seemingly playing some kind of game with her as they grabbed at her clothes.

‘Come on babe, we just wanna play with you!’

‘Yeah, don’t run away, you have time for a game!’ One of the men pulled her shirt hard and ripped two of the bottom buttons apart making her scream, kicking him in the knee as hard as she could. The idiot collapsed with a yelp much like that of an angry chihuahua before glaring up at her.

‘Don’t touch me!’

‘Oh, you’re gonna get it for that one girlie!’ The other one grabbed her arm but was cut off, hearing the sound of Bucky clearing his throat.

‘That’s no way to treat a lady.’ Klaus stated, fingers around the handle of the blade he keeps tucked into his pants as the asshole released her and began backing away, clearly recognizing them.

‘My friend is right. Run along now and hope this young lady doesn’t want revenge for this later.’ Bucky spoke, helping her up from where she had fallen before the men ran away. ‘Are you alright?’ She nodded, holding the bottom of her shirt closed as Klaus came back, having run after the idiots a ways to scare them into not coming back, Bucky knew that Klaus loved to tease idiots like that in hopes they would fuck up and he could kill them. ‘I’m James but everyone just calls me Bucky, this here is my brother for all intents and purposes, Klaus. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Kitten.’ Both men enjoyed the blush on her cheeks at the nickname, taken aback by how cute this girl was.

‘I’m Y/n, thank you for your help. I’m really grateful…oh fuck! I’m so late for work, I have to go!’ She turned to go when Klaus caught her arm making her flinch.

‘Sorry, no need to be afraid. I had just hoped we could have your number. We’d like to make sure you’re still alright later.’

As Y/n looked up at Bucky and Klaus she couldn’t help but feel safe. She didn’t know why but they were comforting and so she nodded, taking Klaus’ phone and doing just that for him.

Bucky and Klaus, upon getting to their car, began talking about the sweet girl they had met and realized they both felt a pull to her, one that was strong and desperate. It wasn’t often that Bucky and Klaus genuinely liked a women in any way other than wanting her in their bed, let alone the same women but they had shared before and they knew that Y/n was worth it.

They never thought it would become what it had, them falling in love with the perfect women, but here they are, head over heels a month after meeting and taking her out to dinner for the 4th time that week.

Neither of them could go very long without seeing their girl, both Bucky and Klaus knowing they have obsessive personalities but they also knew they would never hurt Y/n, they were in love with her.

Of course she was naive enough to think they were just her friends, never expecting both of them to want to be with her so it never crossed her mind that these were dates they were going on. The men saw no issue with Y/n in any way, she was their beautiful Babygirl. She was sweet and innocent, the most loving girl they had ever met and far more than they deserve (though they would never admit that they both knew that out loud), they never even considered that she didn’t ‘look the part’ of a women that they would normally date. She was a little on the chubby side but they loved everything about her, Bucky loving to feel her weight on top of him when he lays back on the couch, pulling her with him and refusing to even hear her complaints. Every time he ends up trying to hide his erection as he dreams of wrapping his arms around her waist to hold her still while he ruts his cock up into her tight little pussy until she’s crying in ecstasy. Klaus enjoys resting his head on her thick thighs like the comfiest pillow in the world while she plays with his hair, dreaming about the day that she would allow him to be smothered between them. He would eat her pussy like a man dying of thirst and could only imagine the sounds she would make for him.

They didn’t understand why she thought she wasn’t good enough for them but honestly it gave them time to get everything the way they needed it so they would put up with it, until the house is finished.

It was the mugging that pushed them over the edge.

She didn’t call them that morning like she always did, not even at least sending a text to say ‘good morning’ as she always had and so Klaus and Bucky found themselves in their Chevrolet Corvette E Ray (which Klaus had just gotten specifically to take Y/n for a scenic drive/picnic and impress her even if money didn’t really do that) to get to her as fast as they could.

They broke about 45 different traffic laws but the cop that noticed them and began driving after them pulled off quickly, probably having run the plates and realized who it was, not wanting all the paperwork or the lawyers involved just for whatever ticket he was going to write. Upon arriving at her apartment they found out that their girl had walked to the corner store that morning and been robbed, her phone being taken so she couldn’t text them. Bucky kissed her head before leaving the room, getting on his phone and having his men work to track hers and find the asshole who did it while Klaus used his phone to order them breakfast to be delivered, snuggling their Babygirl as close as he could and wiping her tears repeatedly before calling her boss to let him know she wouldn’t be in the next week. Thankfully they had met her boss at a work event they insisted on joining her at and the man wanted more than anything to impress them both.

They spent the day cheering their girl up, even getting her back her phone which had sadly been destroyed by the idiot trying to get into it before staying the night with her, snuggled between them in her bed.

‘This is the way it should be. Our Princess cuddled up between us without a care in the world.’ Klaus noted and Bucky agreed.

‘I called today, they’re working shifts round the clock now. The cabin will be finished in 2 days, Steve and Elijah are having everything moved in right now. Just 2 more days and our Kitten will be ours, brother.’ The men couldn’t hide the smiles on their faces, knowing they were going to keep their Babygirl safe where nothing could ever hurt her again.

Waking up was disorienting, the drugs clearly still being in her blood stream but she pushed through the feeling, sitting up to find herself in a huge bed that was probably the comfiest thing she had ever laid on. As she looked around, her head spinning with dizziness, the bedroom door opened and her head snapped up to see Klaus walk in.

‘Klaus! Thank God! I thought I was alone!’ She moved to the edge of the bed, Klaus catching her before she could collapse. ‘Where’s Bucky? Is he okay?!’

It was obvious that she didn’t immediately think that they had brought her here, she thought they had all been brought here together. ‘He’s downstairs making you some tea.’

‘Making tea? Why would…no…Klaus no…w-why?’ She whimpered, tears rising in her eyes but as Klaus moved to wipe them away she smacked his hand from her face, stumbling back as her legs gave out but not letting him help her.

‘Princess, please? Just let me-‘

‘Don’t Touch Me! Don’t You Ever Touch Me Again!’ She screamed, turning and using the bed to help her stand, turning to the door Klaus had just come through before he cut off her exit. ‘Why are you doing this? I want to go home Klaus, I’m scared and I want to go home.’

Klaus felt his chest tighten, hating to see tears on his Princess’ face. ‘You are home baby, it’s okay. We brought you here to keep you safe. No more mugging, no more shitty bosses or backstabbing friends, just us…you, me and Bucky. Doesn’t that sound nice?’

‘You kidnapped me…and now you want me to tell you that it sounds great here? Fuck you!’ She hissed, sitting back onto the bed before the door opened again and Bucky stepped in with a tray.

‘Good morning-Now I know you’re feeling a tad angry, but we did this to protect you.’

‘You pretentious asshole! You-‘

‘Enough!’ Bucky exclaimed, clearly done with her attitude making her flinch away and Klaus moved to her side, taking her hand in his and pressing it to his lips.

‘We will never harm you Baby, not ever. Please don’t flinch like that? You know we would never let you get hurt.’ Klaus’ eyes were big and needy, hating the idea that the girl he is desperately in love with would be afraid of him.

‘You Kidnapped Me! You were my friends! How could you guys-‘

‘We were never your friends, Doll.’

‘Bucky!’ Klaus snapped but he was ignored, Bucky’s metal fingers trailing down the side of her face.

‘We have been in love with you since the moment we met and there’s no way you don’t know that Kitten.’

‘You’re insane! Men like you don’t go for girls like me, let alone 2 of you! I’m not stupid…at least not completely considering I believed you cared about me to begin with.’

‘Okay, now you’re just being dramatic-‘

‘You’ve kidnapped me-‘

‘We Love You!’ He shouted, becoming overwhelmed with your disregard for their feelings. ‘We’ve loved you for months, Doll…this ain’t some casual fling for us, we’ve shared girls for a night before but never more than that. Never something like you…we love you so much Kitten, more than I thought possible.’ Bucky admitted, Y/n staring in shock, unsure of what to say.

‘As well as more than I thought myself capable.’ Klaus spoke up. ‘You know about my father…my family and I…I never thought I would be able to love someone the way people talk about in those cheesy love stories but you did that for me…you broke down walls I’ve been building since I was a child and I…I need you not to hate us. We had to protect you…Please?’ Klaus pleaded, desperate for her loving gaze to be back on him as it’s been since the day they met.

‘Klaus I-I could never hate you…but I don’t know that I can just get over being kidnapped by the people I trusted most in the entire world. You have to understand that, and so do you. I trusted you, the whole time you could have just told me how you felt but you didn’t, you let me think I was disgusting and fucked up for liking the both of you and now I don’t know that I can forgive you. Especially if this is who Bucky really is-‘ she said, turning to look at him. ‘because I loved the sweet man who snuggled with me whenever I was sad but this angry one who shouts at me for being upset at being Kidnapped? I don’t know who he is and I don’t know that I want to if this is the way you are.’ Bucky had the decency to look saddened by her admission but didn’t let it bother him too much as he handed her the cup of tea.

‘We do understand Princess, and there’s some things we need to tell you. No matter what though, you are safe with us.’ Klaus promised, kissing her hand and sat down beside her on the bed along with Bucky where they spent the next 2 hours explaining who they really were. Their lives, childhoods, and jobs they now had as the heads of 2 separate crime families that only joined together thanks to Klaus and Buckys resilient friendship.

Y/n would have been impressed if she wasn’t so horrified…she’s a bit impressed by them, though she refused to forgive them that quickly. They had a lot of making up to do if they wanted to be friends again…or whatever it is they really wanted to be…?

It was nearly a full week later that any kind of development happened in the battle Y/n was fighting against them.

The crash was startling and as much as Y/n wanted to pretend that she didn’t care, she didn’t want Klaus to be hurt and she knew Bucky wasn’t here leading to her standing from the bed and creeping down the stairs quietly. She had just planned to peek into the den to make sure he wasn’t dead before going back upstairs but as she looked in she saw Klaus on the floor with blood dripping from his nose and mouth and a man crouched over top of him with a sinister look in his eyes.

Y/n instantly recognized the man from the family pictures that Klaus had shown her. This was Klaus’ step father, the man that had spent Klaus’ entire life beating him senseless and making him believe he was unworthy of any kind of love and affection.

This was Mikael.

Bucky had spoken about murdering the man only 500 times in their relationship and she knew he wanted the man dead almost as much as Klaus did and she expected one day that he would show up.

What she didn’t expect however, was Klaus to lay there completely frozen, petrified.

Y/n, who had been trying so hard to remain angry at Klaus and Bucky in the last week, felt her heart break at the sight of this strong man who she had depended on time and time again, looking so small and scared. She knew she couldn’t just go back upstairs and do nothing, she hated this man. Hated him for everything he had done to Klaus, everything he had made her friend feel. She knew that Bucky would want to kill Mikael, she knew he would be doing it already if he was only here, but he’s not here…she is.

Y/n crept around to the living room and got to the fire place, retrieving the fire poker as quietly as possible, as well as the duct tape from the junk drawer before approaching the den again.

‘You really thought you could hide from me, didn’t you, boy? You’ve been hiding behind that boyfriend of yours since you met, found yourself a tough son of a bitch to protect you like the weakling you are and always have been. But he’s not here now, is he?’ She quietly crept up behind the man, instantly despising him even more than she already did which she would have thought was completely impossible. ‘Theres no one left to hide behind, who is going to protect you now, hmm?’

‘I am.’ Y/n spoke up, clearly startling him as he spun his head around only for her to swing the fire poker and slash it straight across his face. She swung it again into the back of his head before he could move and he collapsed off of Klaus and onto the floor. She hit him once more before grabbing the duct tape, rolling him onto his back and pulling his hands together to wrap the tape around them far too many times before doing the same with his feet before taping them together as if he was hog tied-just with way too much tape. Y/n turned to look at where Klaus had been laying and he had turned to see where his Step Father laid, eyes wide and completely shocked. She dropped the fire poker and moved to kneel beside him, wrapping her arms around his neck and he instantly sat up, pulling her onto his lap with his arms firmly wrapped around her waist. He was sniffling over and over, clearly trying to control himself and his body as it continued to shake thanks to the adrenaline rushing through it. ‘It’s okay. You’re safe now…you’re safe Klaus.’

Klaus reached his hands up, cupping Y/n’s cheeks and pressing his lips to hers desperately. It felt wonderful to be in Klaus’ arms again, she had missed him. ‘You saved me.’ He spoke against her lips, hands squeezing her waist.

‘‘Of course I did…I couldn’t let him hurt you. I love you…’ she admitted, seeing Klaus’ face light up in happiness before he pressed his lips to hers again, groaning as he felt her hand pulling his shirt over his head prompting Klaus to grab hold of her collar and rip her shirt open, buttons flying everywhere while he yanked it off, followed by her lacy black bra.

‘Gods, you are fucking perfection, you know that?’ One thing Y/n loved about Klaus and Bucky? They never failed to make her feel like the prettiest girl in every room. They never even seemed to notice the fact that she was chubbier than all of the women who stared at them unashamedly even when she’s right there as if she’s such little competition they don’t even have to think about it. They never even glance at other women when she’s there and even now, Y/n feels like the sexiest women in the entire world.

‘Your hands feel so good, never stop touching me, please?’

‘Never! Never stopping Princess, I will touch you for the rest of forever until we take to the grave and we are buried together for eternity! No more running, all ours now…’ he swore, lifting her leg over him from where she had sat on his lap so she now straddled his waist. Klaus pulled her pants down before just ripping them off to avoid moving her again. ‘So fucking perfect baby-‘

‘Please?’ She whined, feeling him move her thong to the side and brush his cock against her clit.

‘No need to beg Princess, don’t worry, I’m going to fuck you just how you need. My good girl deserves to be rewarded for protecting me, doesn’t she?’ Y/n nodded her head rapidly, crying out quite loudly when Klaus pushed his cock up and into her sopping wet cunt, stretching her hole deliciously. ‘So perfect baby! Perfect fucking cunt, oh Shit!’ He wrapped one arm tightly around her waist to pin her chest against him while the other arm rested up her back and his hand held her shoulder giving him the leverage to pull her down against him with every thrust of his hips.

‘Ah! Ah! Right there! Please?!’

‘There?’ Klaus wondered, thrusting his hips particularly hard.

‘Fuck Yes!’ Y/n shrieked, nails digging into his back again and most definitely drawing blood.

What neither of them heard in their blissful desperation was the front door opening and Bucky running into the house having gotten an alarm alert on his phone when Mikael came in. Neither Klaus nor Y/n were answering their phones and he was panicking until he heard the noises coming from the den. Peeking his head around the corner he was shocked to find a hog tied man that he recognized from Klaus’ family pictures as well as his brother with their girl on his lap, his cock buried inside of her as deep as possible.

‘Close…so close! Please?!’ She begged and Bucky moved quietly into the room crouching behind them. His hand moved between them finding his Kittens clit to roughly caress, her entire body stiffening a second later before she cried out and Klaus held her down against him as he grunted, cumming deep inside of their girl the way they had always dreamed of.

Once they had relaxed and Y/n had snuggled into Klaus’ neck, Bucky decided to make his presence known. ‘That was beautiful.’ He stated, both of them jumping in fright, Klaus ready to pull her behind him just as he realized that it was just his brother.

‘Fucking Hell Buck! Don’t do that, I’ve had enough scares for one day.’ He spoke and Y/n turned his head, kissing his lips softly.

‘He won’t touch you again Nikky, you’re safe now.’ She promised and he snuggled into her neck, enjoying her comfort.

‘Course you are bro, especially with our little protector here. You did this, didn’t you killer?’ He teased, but held a level of respect in his eyes that made her happy.

‘He was gonna kill him, I didn’t have a choice…I-‘

‘You did so well Kitten, I’m so proud of you!’ Bucky insisted, pulling her face closer to kiss her softly. ‘You know what that means, don’t you?’ She looked at him curiously while Bucky and Klaus looked at each other, knowing exactly what they’ve been waiting for for months on end. They were finally going to have her just the way they wanted. ‘Good little Kittens get rewarded…take her upstairs Nik, I’ll take care of him.’

‘But…I wanna watch.’ Y/n pouted making both men laugh.

‘Buckys gonna lock him in the shed. Don’t worry Love, you can see as much as you want to.’ Klaus hoisted her up into his arms and carried her through the hall and up the stairs to their bedroom, which made up the entire first floor other than a bathroom.

Bucky dragged the man down the hall and through the kitchen out the back door to the shed. They had it built just in case someone should decide to try and hurt their Babygirl here, giving them the perfect place to have some…fun with Mikael. Bucky cut all the tape off before chaining him to the floor in the center of the room, locking the doors behind him and quickly running back to the house where he locked everything else up as they wouldn’t be leaving any time soon.

Y/n was back on Nik’s lap and kissing him contently when Bucky came back in, stripping off his suit in no time, crawling up onto the bed and getting their attention. ‘Wow…’ she mumbled as she looked over his toned body. Bucky knew he was nice to look at, while Klaus had muscle he was leaner where as Bucky held muscle extremely well and while his cock was slightly less thick than his brothers, it was almost a full inch longer. It drew their girls eyes instantly and he couldn’t hide his smirk if he wanted to.

‘Did you enjoy Nikky stretching your pretty little pussy on his cock?’ She nodded her head with a whine, turning to face Bucky who grabbed her thighs and yanked her forward. A squeal left her as she fell back onto the giant bed, him lifting her legs to present her cunt to his eyes. ‘I bet you did, but now it’s my turn and I’m gonna fuck my cock into you so deep you’ll be carrying my babies by morning.’ Her eyes widened dramatically before he leaned down and pressed his mouth against her clit.

‘Oh God!’

‘That’s right Princess, in this room we are your Gods. You worship and we give you everything you could ever want…riches-‘ Klaus leaned down, pressing his lips to hers sweetly. ‘-Pleasure…’ he kissed down her chest to her breasts, nipping her skin teasingly. ‘-Fertility…’ he smirked, wrapping his lips around her nipple and twisting the other just as Bucky shoved his tongue into her hole, his nose brushing her clit hard and sending her over the edge, making her cry out.

‘There you go, good girl!’ Bucky smirked, lifting her legs as he pushed his way between them, his long member brushing against her sensitive clit. ‘We’ve been waiting a long time for this Kitten, and you have too, haven’t you?’ Y/n whimpered as Klaus continued his teasing at her breasts. ‘We’re gonna put a baby in you tonight, one way or another.’ He gestured to Klaus who hopped up, moving to the closet and grabbing a box that he set on the edge of the oversized bed, pulling out a silicone plug with a purple jewel on the end making her tense and Bucky groan. ‘That’s right Kitten, we’re gonna fill you up all night long.’ He promised, taking hold of his cock and pressing it into her slick hole, not stopping until he bottomed out completely. ‘Nothings ever been so deep in this pretty little cunt, has it?’ She whined needily which answered his question just fine before he began thrusting into her.

‘Oh Fuck! Too Much!’

‘Too much? Too Much? Impossible! Our girl can take anything and everything we have to give her, can’t you Kitten? We’re gonna fill you so full you’ll be leaking all over the bed, gonna make us Daddies tonight, aren’t you?’ Tears were falling from her face as she nodded frantically, practically begging him for more. ‘Gonna plug you up so full it won’t be possible that you’re not knocked up!’ Bucky was thrusting up into her so hard she knew she would be sore but she couldn’t find it in herself to care as Klaus turned her head to the side and shoved his cock between her lips.

‘Fuck! Such a hot fucking mouth! Christ! Sucking my cock so good for me Princess!’ She moaned, choking on his cock as he pushed into the back of her throat.

‘Oh shit! Gonna fill you up so good Kitten, you want your pretty little pussy full don’t you? You need it!’ She moaned around Klaus’ dick but Bucky got the message just fine. ‘Yes, gonna give our girl a baby, Fuck!’ Bucky growled as he shoved his cock as deeply into her body as he could, cumming hard and holding her on him to keep himself as deep as he could. ‘My good little Kitten.’ He hummed, pinching her nipple teasingly.

‘Move Buck!’ Klaus insisted, pulling himself out of her mouth which caused her to whine, Bucky pulling out and laying beside her as Klaus stretched her hole around his cock again. ‘Just needed to fill your cunt again. You can drink my cum 10 times a day when this womb is full, but-ah! Until then we’re gonna fill this hole every…single…time! Oh Shit!’ Once again Klaus filled her up and she whined at how full her body felt now. His cock stayed buried into her as his hand put pressure on her lower belly, caressing her as if it would ensure their seed took.

‘Open your mouth.’ Bucky told her and she did, only to have the plug shoved between her lips to wet it before pulling it back out and moving to shove it into her cunt as soon as Klaus pulled back, not allowing a single drop spilled. ‘Good girl. Now, you rest because after you have had some time to relax, we’re gonna do it all over again.’ She whined before Klaus laid at her other side, shushing her.

‘Relax Princess. You’re all ours now, and we’re gonna take such good care of you.’

Klaus Mikaelson Masterlist

Bucky Barnes Masterlist

[nixotene]

consider this: the hargreeves siblings numbers are based on how easy to control they are.

Luther is the most easy to control. He always wants to appease Reginald and do what he can to complete the mission and be daddy’s special boy.

Diego is rebellious, but in the sense that acts out for attention from his abusive parental figure. So Reginald puts what he wants to close to his reach, l knowing full well he will always be “number two.” I mean, at the end of the day, Diego was out kicking ass and being a “hero” until the end, just like Reggie trained him to be.

Allison tends to place her own needs first. Which makes sense since her power literally allows her to have whatever she wants when she wants. Reginald had to make things feel like they were “her” idea and use mind games. She didn’t care about her number, but she didn’t care about going against Reginald either. She stayed in her lane.

Klaus is when we start getting a bit harder to control, but not in a way that would affect Reginald’s “dignity”. He ran to drug use in order to suppress his abilities. He constantly was acting out and getting into trouble. But he didn’t act out very obvious ways to Reggie (ie: standing up to him verbally and publicly).

Now, Five. He is stubborn and believes himself to always be in the right. He’s a lot like Reggie, in a way. Which is probably why Reggie did not like him until they met in s2 and Five was mentally around the same age as him. They felt like equals, when before, Reginald saw Five as a child when Five did not see himself that way.

Ben was literally killed by Reginald because he did not follow his instructions. To a mission he did not want to go on. Ben constantly shows how he does not like using his powers (like Klaus) and therefore would be hard to force to train and go on missions.

Viktor. Oh, Viktor. His hard to control nature, high emotions (mostly due to his abuse), mixed with his world ending power level is not a force to be reckoned with. So instead Reggie decided he wasn’t worth the trouble. We see Viktor’s hard to control nature through the montage of Vanya/Viktor as a child throwing nanny after nanny around the house like a rag doll. And breaking the wine glasses with enough power to cut Reggie when he did try training.

Or it could be random because Reginald numbered them since birth. Who knows.

Kekkai Sensen - mini meta B3P spoilers ahead

Because, I don't have the time to do as many in depth analyses as I once did, but still like to.

Kekkai Sensen - Beat 3 Peat finally gets us to Klaus' backstory/fang hunter origin. Just like Nightow to wait until oh, 16 years into a manga to explain something.

We first got the introduction of the additional Reinherz siblings, Gabriel, Ignatz and Rebecca who converged on HL to fight a part of the count who turned Klaus into what he is today. This allowed for the info dump from Zed to Leo that most fang hunters survived blood breed attacks and didn't become ghouls nor blood breeds thus able to fight them.

I'd been waiting for all of the chapters to drop so I could look at them at once and really get my feel for it.

In Bloody Thursday part 1, we meet a twelve-year-old Klaus as adorable as we'd expect and friends with another kid named Edgar. Edgar has some outdated fashion sense with suspenders instead of a belt and a relaxed vibe. A clear altercation with some Slavic blood breeds, who go as far as implying that Edgar is even his boyfriend, leaves Klaus shook and incredibly upset. When Diana and Klaus interact with the blood breeds they are scared but Edgar coldly looks at them unimpressed.

Later at their hang out spot in the woods Edgar tries to get him to cheer up. However, Edgar's words aren't those of another young teen, they serve as direct foreshadowing with the highly specific 'from here on' and that the 'impact' of the day's event will lessen over time. That closing line that he thinks Klaus behaved the right way and the endorsement that it means more than anything to Edgar implies how critical this was.

Sure those Slavic blood breeds are obviously bad, but you immediately get the sense that something is off with Edgar.

Soon after this incident, the boys enter their hideout (which just happens to be the lair of the blood breeds). Bloodline gate bats separate the two of them after Klaus hears Diana's scream. He enters the lair to find her killed and being eaten by the trio. Klaus cries out in horror, is terribly wounded losing all of his limbs.

In the darkness Edgar appears and finds Klaus in a giant ziplock bag (for freshness, I guess) and he takes Klaus back to their tent. There he tells him it is the end of the line for him unless he let's Edgar help him him. Klaus appears to be somewhat are and when Edgar asks if he'd like to avenge Diana's death, he leans in really close to hear what that reply is. Based on Edgar's reply, it seems Klaus agreed to it.

The chapter ends with Edgar tearing up while bearing his fangs telling Klaus they will walk the road together and he'll be there for him. All of this clearly indicates that Edgar wants Klaus to be with him. Edgar clearly respects Klaus but also wants his friendship.

Bloody Thursday part 2 - or how to almost make Klaus a Blood Breed! The manga doesn't waste time as Edgar sinks his teeth into Klaus' neck to do the usual vampire thing.

Edgar than talks to Klaus describing what is happening to his body as he transforms. And why did Edgar go to all this work to set up this horrible event for Klaus. Because he's lonely and wants another blood breed [boy]friend! He didn't just choose him from a hat, he got to know Klaus over the period of several years and determined that he was worth of being next to him.

Of course this isn't without risk to Klaus, so he makes it clear if this doesn't work out and Klaus isn't the person he thinks he is - well its over.

With all the disappearances, Lucky Abrams appears again with Magdalena. We learn that the fog is directly related to a powerful blood breed and they are continuing to investigate on their own. I love to note that Magdalena continues to sport heels, indicating that one can choose whatever style of shoe for blood freeze techniques.

Meanwhile, Edgar continues to push Klaus to evolve, referring back to the levels indicated in the original KKSS one shot, where level 13 is the point of no return. We learn that Edgar has pushed the incredibly buff Klaus to level 12. At the same time, Edgar has trapped the three other blood breeds in the bunker having recalled the Bloodline gate bats.

Edgar only opens the door to let Klaus in who quickly demolishes the henchmen and Vladimir is able to escape with Klaus in hot pursuit. The Reinherz family rush to the woods, Vlad realizes the fog has lifted before he and Klaus get frozen by Magdalena, with her thorns of absolute zero. Another botanical attack from her on the books as well.

Klaus was able to break free of her ice and he kills Vladimir easily. Klaus is completely confused and his family quickly surrounds him as Edgar comes out from the shadows, requesting they hand him over. The family look confused and Edgar tells them to get more information from the fang hunters near by.

They are unwilling to let go, so Edgar tries to suck them all in with Klaus so that they can facilitate the completion of the last step in the ritual to get Klaus to level 13 as he observes Klaus' tears falling on the grass. Klaus finally gets up and embraces Edgar in a hug. It appears that Edgar may be blushing? as he then presses off the ground.

With all the force he can summon, Klaus leaps into the air while hugging Edgar into the opening of the giant cross. Klaus is crying while he pushes them into the mouth of the opening while Edgar goes from a calm expression to a soft smile. Was he expecting Klaus to do this? Is he relieved Klaus is trying to push them in together to save his family?

A tooth impales Edgar's head and the entire structure collapses. It seems like he's fine with this happening. Everyone is released and the chapter ends with Abrams report. Edgar was not just some Blood Breed, he was one of the Elder 13, Count Mobius Zoa El-Linkal. Seriously, can these old blood breeds not have such complicated names?

And the chapter ends calling for full support for poor Klaus, a twelve-year-old now in a level 12 form and still human.

First impressions from these past few chapters.

1.) Klaus got the 'Wolfwood' treatment having a strange advanced aging technique used on him, but instead of aging him more quickly it more was about refining his form to become a full blood breed. I was never a fan of that aspect of Trigun Maximum, it sort of soured things for me since Wolfwood gave off snippets of wisdom that didn't fit his final age. At least Klaus now is super tough and very hard to kill [shurgs]. This does align with the original one shot with the blood breed marks and leveling system.

2.) Edgar/Count Mobius is a very lonely guy. Seriously. Trying to understand the rationale and existence that he's been living for thousands upon thousands of years. He's been looking for a companion who can share his experiences. To think that he went to the effort to put himself in orbit of Klaus, get to know him since he was seven and then also move undetected in the presence of others is impressive. With both of them crying during the course of the events did Klaus and Edgar love each other?

It makes me wonder how many other times he'd tried to make a new friend and it failed or if he'd known he would need to find the right person who would understand him?

Now, should you be doing this to a twelve-year-old who cannot consent to the full intent? No, that would be bad. But then again if you are an almost immortal being who doesn't value humans as a whole and really have been craving someone to be your equal, it wouldn't be that hard to rationalize your actions easily.

Additionally, it doesn't seem like he's upset when Klaus cries as he pushes him down into the spiky teeth. It could be read that Edgar/Count would accept someone like Klaus finally killing him, releasing him of his thousands of years of possible suffering?

He likely found a way to lure the low level blood breeds to the area when he'd decided he wanted Klaus and watched things play out as he expected. He lead Klaus to be close to them, and knew that they'd likely take an interest in Diana. The fog and all the strange distortions in the forest were in response to what he was doing to Klaus. When Vladimir notices the fog has lifted he knows he's in trouble since all of it was done by someone more powerful than him, including the summoning of the Bloodline gate leaving them trapped.

What is still unclear is how involved the Reinherz family is in the overall fang hunter scheme. I'd assumed that his family was always involved in them but their father was the one who pulled them away from it. But if they were a family that were involved it would mean they had the possibility to become fang hunters. They clearly did not know Blitz or Magdalena when called out in the moment.

Does this mean Steven met Klaus after this incident? He'd be sixteen at the youngest, since he's four years older than Klaus. I'd always assumed they met when they were younger, but maybe not if Edgar was one of his few friends? I have so many questions! I need more answers.

So, @da-proti-toku-grem kind of inspired me to make a lengthy post, sharing some positive vibes across the fandom, listing the reasons why I love each member of Joker Out and why I would go full mom-mode on them and cook for them and bake them gluten-free cookies.

Anyway:

A Joker Out, brain-rot, appreciation post

(members listed in alphabetical order)

Bojan

First up - as someone who had the chance to see them live, he is an insane performer

His ability to enchant the crowd is insane and you can tell really well that he has great acting abilities too

Watched him in Gospod Profesor too, spot on for someone who is a so-called amateur

His singing voice is... amazing to say the least, it feels really unique

Also, the way he talks, the sound of his voice, the words he uses, his pronunciation, if there were awards for talking he would get one

The languages he speaks, I want to study him, linguistically, he is truly a phenomenon

We of course love a bilingual king

He looks like he has his priorities straight

I also respect him so much for how open he is about his mental illness

I might relate to him a bit too much at times whoops

And the fact that he can somehow befriend literally anyone??? Love that

His friendship with Jere is the main one of course

Oh yeah and the fact that he literally helped people who collapsed at their gigs a few times

Bless him, he deserves all the rest he is hopefully getting

Jan

First things first, I have a soft spot for math guys

And the way he talks about math is fascinating (but you still won't get me to like it Jan)

Cat dad???? We absolutely adore Igor and a man loving cats is such a green flag

I know people say he mumbles a bit and it's hard to understand him at times, but idk, he talks nice and slowly, so it's still really easy to understand him

He comes from my home region, so I am very biased haha

Also, every band needs a guitarist with luscious locks

He absolutely owns the colour red, that colour was invented specifically for him

The nose ring suits him so well too, this man KNOWS what fits him

And if that ends up being jackets with nothing underneath when he performs, THEN SO BE IT

I know people call Kris the lesbian icon, but from what I've seen lesbians are very drawn to Jan as well

Oh, and he gives me Klaus from the Umbrella Academy vibes (I blame the hair and the pink boa)

Jure

Holy shit, sunshine in human form????

The most underappreciated one in the band imo

His surname literally means 'cat' and I am so normal that Jan has called him 'muca'

He also comes from my region haha, bias again

He's really good at filming, he actually shot a few things for RTV (national TV station) and edited them as well, god, talent

Also playing drums... I have sang, I have played guitar, played bass, but drums is something I feel like I could NEVER do, so hats off to you

As @da-proti-toku-grem pointed out, THE MOLE ON HIS LIP? weak knees, yes

He also reminds me of a good friend of mine and I vibe with him so much, I feel like I would vibe with Jure as well

I really don't like the fact that drummers tend to get ignored and I just wish there was more Jure performing content

Though I love it how every time, during Novi Val, he comes to the front and hangs with the others

His hair also looks so soft and fluffy aaaaaa

Again, biased but he resembles my bf the most out of everyone so hmmmm

Kris

The baby of the band! (and the only one in the band I could actually call 'mulc')

In case you didn't know yet, he's half Dutch

And he speaks Dutch, which, as someone who speaks Dutch (in theory, not in practice) makes me really happy

I wish to study him linguistically as well

Also his parents' story feels very close to me, as I'm dating outside of my culture as well

According to him he was menace as a kid and I think we should normalise the fact that you can become a better person as you grow up

But pls don't honk at me on the road Kris, pls, I will cry

The songs he wrote??? NGVOT and Vse kar vem??? Oh boy, I love them, adore them

His holey sweaters are also a vibe

Dutch fans, if you don't shower him and the rest of the band with gifts at their Dutch concerts, I will be mad

Also gotta honorably mention Maks

They gotta be my fav nepo-but-not-really babies out there

Kinda like Maya Hawke?

I am ranting

He also looks like the only member of the band that I would fight, and idk why

Also, I must know if he supports Max Verstappen haha

Minus points for chemistry though, I cannot with that

Nace

Okay everyone

Here we go

We have reached my beloved

I love all of them, but Nace just a bit more

It was love at first sight, I cannot lie

I have a soft spot for bassists and he might actually convince me to try and play bass again

He has been playing it for so long too??? like wow

Oh and of course; THE TATTOOS, BLESSETH BE THE TATTOOS

I will always go feral about his tattoos

At every concert

I know he was the last to join the band but it looks like he fits in so nicely, it's beautiful

Strong mom-codded dad friend vibes

He kinda is the dad of the band haha

And he looks like he gives amazing hugs (lucky all of you who had managed to get one already)

A nice addition to the band

Oh and he's apparently shit at sports which is like... felt

Plus the fact that he wanted to be a vet?

Me too boo, me too, but neither of us is there now

Anway, I'll stop now. In conclusion, this band has my whole heart and they deserve every good thing that happens to them and so much more.

Time For Twins AU

Headcanons

(Just remember to treat Pastra like a  person, okay?)

This is just a list of headcanons that I have for the series! You may do with them as you wish!

Basic Stuff:

Alex - non-binary, asexual, they/them, Autistic

Spector - He/They, asexual, incredibly oblivious to sexual stuff, ADHD, they look cartoonish

Clyde - He/They, AroAce, they have an incredibly hard time establishing relationships, subtle ADHD

The Hijacker - They/It, AroAce, does NOT understand the appeal of being in a committed relationship

Winfrey - They/Them, bisexual, has a hard time finding mates because of their size

Mortimer - They/Them, pansexual, both ADHD and Autism

Simon - He/Him, straight, severe social anxiety, OCD

Jack - He/It, gay, hyperactive ADHD

Klaus - He/Him, they are child

The Flock - It/It’s, they are a big bird

Pre-Raid:

The Hijacker would read Spec’s stories from within the computer. They’ll never admit it, but they love Spec’s work.

Even though Clyde acted like they didn’t care about their interests, they listened intently to Spec whenever they babbled about a hyperfixation.

Clyde and Spector were very close before the war. They played together as children and Spec looked up to Clyde.

The same goes for Lankmann and The Hijacker, but as we know, insecurity got to Herbert.

Alex was a social butterfly when they went out of the house, but they secretly felt very lonely

They also can’t flirt for shit. It’s their sweetness that pulls people in.

The same goes for Spec, but they are just more oblivious

Spec loves to make food for the ones they love. They cook almost everyday.

Alex shows their affection by giving gifts and physical touch. (They are so warm!!!)

Winfrey would take in little Veldigun children until they found their parents.

The Hijacker and Spec were the only Veldiguns that used technology

Klaus is actually the son of Patient 66 (oh boy, the angst…)

Post-Raid:

Spec often braids Alex’s hair to try to calm them down. They even do this to their tails! If anyone draws this, I will go feral

Those two cuddle all the time. One of their favorite things to do is to wrap a blanket around them and watch movies.

Many of Alex’s art pieces are in Spector’s novels

Spec often finds Alex sleeping in the strangest places. Sometimes on the table. Sometimes on the floor.

This is because their tails will force them to sleep, no matter what Alex does. This constantly annoys them

Speaking of which, Alex is a caffeine addict. They will chug four energy drinks at once

Mortimer ended up adopting Klaus due to not being able to find his mother.

I feel like they would be like Bandit when it comes to parenting. Especially when it comes to Klaus’s creativity

Winfrey is like a parent to everyone. Especially Clyde and Alex…

Clyde and Alex still fight on a regular basic. Clyde causes the vast majority of them.

One of Clyde’s favorite ways to torment Alex is to hold them up by one of their tail.

This was…until Alex swung themselves back at Clyde and fought them. I’ll let you guess who won.

Alex has some sensory issues. For example, they hate slimy textures. Especially, things like eggs, boiled noodles, and thawed meat.

Clyde uses this to torment Alex as well

It has gotten so bad that Jack and Simon have a “Days without Clyde and Alex brawling” board.

Jack knows every bit of drama and tea in the group. Don’t ask how he knows. He may be listening to you right now.

Simon takes care of The Flock. It reminds him of his old pet crows

Spec calls Alex “Little Critter”. Don’t ask why. They just think it’s cute.

Alex’s wings glow during the northern lights

The Hijacker spends most of their time in Spec’s computer. They get anxious around a large group of people.

That’s it so far! I hope you genuinely enjoy this strange little post!

the jennifer incident :: an umbrella academy fic

hello my baddies! i finally wrote a pretty good story and im excited to share it with you guys <3

i wrote this in like one day so sorry for it being short

~

UMBRELLA ACADEMY SPOILERS -all seasons but mostly s4 bc its just the scene at the beginning of s4 e4

teen klaus hargreeves x number 8 reader (they dont have a strong romantic relationship but its there)

reader is 16 or 17 so anyone can read !

warnings: death (from guns) so theres blood mentioned, one bad word, i call reginald just reginald bc i cant even write him as a father 💀

17 years being Number 8 in the Umbrella Academy and all the missions are the same thing. We get sent on the mission, defeat some bad guys and everyone cheers for us. Everyone is tired of it but Reginald won't give us a break.

Now it's just another mission and everyone is running around trying to get ready. Luther is being the little suck up to dad and attempting to hype everyone up.

I'm trying to pull a clearly-drunk Klaus out of the empty bathtub. "Are you kidding me? You just got back from rehab!"

"I'm California sober, y/n!" he remarks, slurring his words. This boy needs serious help, but I still love him deep down.

After our mission briefing, we all get in a jet to go to the old warehouse. We're supposed to locate and destroy a deadly weapon stored in shipping container. Something just feels so off to me. Perhaps it was from how suspicious Reginald sounded when he told us to not open the container. I hold tightly onto Klaus' hand the whole flight there.

When we get there, I instantly get the bad feeling again. We sneak inside and I'm staying closely in between Klaus and Allison. We finally come across the large, white container and Ben insists that he is able to handle the job.

"Go- I got this," Ben whispers assuringly.

"Okay, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Y/n, you're with me. Let's go," instructs Luther.

We follow him to distract some lurking bad guys until we hear what sounds like Ben talking to someone. The group runs back to the container and we see him looking into the giant tank.

Luther is the first to ask the obvious, "Ben! What the hell are you doing?"

"There's someone in here! We have to get her out," he whisper-yells back.

"That wasn't part of the plan."

"So what? You're gonna blow up an innocent girl?"

"But dad said-"

"I don't give a fuck what dad said! We need to help her."

"Ben, wait!" Luther tried arguing back, but knew there wasn't stopping him so he had to call for backup. Through his earpiece, Luther called Reginald. "Dad, we got a bit of a problem."

Ben reaches into the tank, pulling the girl out. After they both climb down and onto the floor, I am able to see who it is. It's a young who has long dark messy hair in a ponytail and is wearing a giant white dress.

"Okay, let's go. Ben," I say to try to get us to leave.

But right as the two make full eye contact, a shot is heard. Ben falls to the ground. Another. The girl in the white dress drops down next to him.

Behind the two was Reginald, holding a small shotgun. "I told you not to open the container," he scolded.

I stare in horror, Klaus wrapping an arm around my shoulder and his other hand covering his mouth in shock. I don't even need to look over to know that Diego, Allison, and Luther had our same reactions.

He wouldn't- right? Right...?

"Ben..." I whisper quietly, my voice shaky, Klaus hugging me tighter.

The two lie dead on the floor. The young girl's white dress slowly getting stained dark red from the blood spreading.

i dont know how to end stories but i hope you liked it!

(Submission)

I'm devastated I can't ramble on forever about my number one incest OTP Klaus/Elijah because there are already a couple of gifsets of them on this blog, but after trying to think of what other ships I have that could fit the criteria, I remembered a pairing I haven't thought about in a while but wish was more popular.

Johnny and D'avin Jaqobis from Killjoys. 

gif source: @anissagraces on Tumblr

To sum up their dynamic - they have a complicated and somewhat rocky history, but their loyalty is unwavering no matter what. They bicker and mess with each other constantly but will go the ends of the galaxy to protect each other.

A quick intro to the show - The three main characters are Dutch, Johnny and D'avin. They work as bounty hunters, known as Killjoys. 

D'avin and John were estranged for 8 years before reuniting at the beginning of the series. They were very close as children, only having each other to rely on growing up in an abusive household. Until D'avin ran away and joined the army when he was 17 and disappeared out of John's life without a word, not to be seen or heard from again until the events of the pilot.

John harbours a lot of anger, resentment and distrust towards D'avin for abandoning him, but still doesn't hesitate to risk his career, his friendship with Dutch and his life to save him when he hears there's a kill warrant out on him. He steals Dutch's ID to take D'avin's warrant without official clearance and sneaks off to prevent him from being killed by another Killjoy. Dutch follows him and together they work to find out who put the kill warrant out on D'avin and get it lifted. Despite them going rogue, mysterious orders from high up clear John and Dutch and D'avin is recruited to their team. 

As the season goes on, the brothers work to slowly repair their relationship and rebuild trust as more is revealed about why D'avin left, why he didn't contact Johnny and what he's been involved in that made someone want him dead. 

On to why I ship them, headcanons etc. Aside from that I'm a simple bitch who'll ship just about any two (or more) pretty boys (and/or girls) especially ones who have fun banter and a slightly crazy level of devotion for each other - if you look at things through a shippy lens, there's a decent amount of fodder there to build off.

Firstly, sexuality is depicted as pretty fluid in the Killjoys verse. Though they're both ostensibly straight, they both have occasional moments that could be read as interest in guys or at least openness to the possibility. Bisexuality seems pretty common and casually accepted in their culture, so it's not too far-fetched to imagine that in the right circumstances either or both of them could develop an interest in a man, or at least be willing to seduce one for a mission if nothing else.

Their dynamic is complicated and layered - they have mutual feelings of admiration and almost hero worship, mixed with an oftentimes juvenile sibling rivalry. They each look up to and idolise the other in different ways. D'av envies that doing the moral thing seems to come naturally to John while he struggles with bad, impulsive choices. Johnny regards D'av as more like a father to him than their actual father.

I don't really have any strong shippy headcanons about them; generally I'm the sort of person that likes my headcanons to be somewhat realistic and plausible, and obviously it would take a fair bit of tweaking from canon to get them to a place of developing romantic feelings for each other that isn't totally OOC.

However, what else is fandom for? It's mentioned that Johnny's first kiss was with their cousin, and neither of them seem to have had many friends or been very close to anyone other than each other while growing up poor on a harsh and small, isolated planet with their abusive, alcoholic father. Perhaps in an AU where they never left Telen, it would be easier to imagine lines getting blurry.

Or perhaps pile some more trauma, loss, isolation (and booze) on them and a codependent, dysfunctional 'turn to each other for comfort because no one else could understand' situation could unfold. (my predicative text wanted unfold to be unfortunately, which is fair lmao) 

Then there's the 'not really canon but the Vibes are Vibing' pseudo-poly thing they have with Dutch. She and John have a platonic soulmate thing where he considers her a sister, albeit with the occasional hint, particularly in a flashback to how they met, that he might harbour some romantic feelings for her deep down. John is not happy at first when Dutch and D'av become romantically interested in each other.

John: Dutch is family too. Meaning, don't plow our sister. D'av: Remind me, was that on the Jaqobis family crest?

He claims he's not jealous, it just feels awkward that "it's like my brother is banging my sister" but it's easy to interpret a bit of jealousy and possessiveness from John towards both of them.

While it never truly goes there in canon, no matter how many times they claim they're not a throuple, they can't shake the reputation, so there's a lot of building blocks for shipping any combination of the three.

The family dynamics only get more complicated in as the show progresses, when an enemy-turned-reluctant-ally, her girlfriend who Dutch was cloned from and D'avin find themselves the surprise parents of a rapidly aging child with enhanced abilities.

In 5x01 when their memories are altered and they believe they are strangers, they very quickly fall into their typical snarky bickering and roughhousing, with the addition of John commenting to Dutch after D'avin bests him in a fight with one stealth hit

John: Okay, yeah. I see what you see in him. That's straight-up sexy.

Granted, he doesn't remember D'av is his brother at this time but it's very funny when contrasted with Dutch, who starts to remember their real lives the moment John kisses her and it feels wrong. Whereas John, for all he calls her his sister, didn't have any problem believing the false memory that she was his wife, and immediately calls his brother 'sexy' and 'handsome' as soon as they meet.

There's another scene in season 5 where Dutch and D'av are trading innuendo-laden banter while trying to escape from zipties, and despite protesting that he doesn't want Dutch to talk about his brother while they're pressed against each other in handcuffs, he also quips "'Johnny' is my safeword." Hmm, D'av, I think most people wouldn't even joke about saying their brother's name during sex, but you do you.

There's probably at least a couple more examples of Totally Normal and Not At All Weird things to say to/about your brother that I'm forgetting since I've only watched the show once at the time it aired.

But now, on to the shippiest moment, the pièce de résistance, the holy grail of brocest ship fanservice, rivalling Supernatural for sheer 'wtf I can't believe the writers went there' energy.

I already low-key shipped them, both on their own and in an OT3 with Dutch, but mostly due to just being a huge slut for multi-shipping. Nothing had really inspired me to give them all that much thought as a ship, until an episode that I can only assume was the work of a dedicated incest shipper breaking into the writer's room and replacing the script with fanfic.

In 4x02 John gets badly injured and to save his life D'av has no choice but to infect him with Green Plasma - an alien parasite that gives people enhanced healing, strength and reflexes, but also erases their emotions and turns them into sociopathic killers called Hullen.

I was already feeling spoiled by all the D'avin worried sick and tenderly cradling an injured Johnny, and then it turns out the whumpy goodness was only scratching the surface of the ship fodder.

When John wakes up we get this... interesting scene.

 A newly Hullenized Johnny first attacks D'av, throwing him against a wall and choking him, then laughs and thanks him for the 'upgrade of awesome' with a kiss.

  On the lips.

Sure, closed mouth and like 1 second long, but there's a weird intensity that doesn't exactly give off wholesome familial vibes.

I have so many questions. 

Like, is Johnny still mostly himself and just acting a little manic with relief to be alive, exacerbated by the effect of the Green Plasma? Or is the real him already almost gone and he's simply intentionally acting weird and creepy to unnerve D'avin?

Presumably it is meant to be one of those interpretations and not that he's secretly always wanted to kiss his brother and the Green lowered his inhibitions enough to do it, but hey, the third option's much more fun! ;)

But seriously, even one of the writers (or directors? someone involved with the show anyway) pretty much said in a tweet that (paraphrasing) the kiss wasn't really necessary to the plot but they couldn't resist throwing it in as a jokey shiptease. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find the damn thing because twitter's search function is terrible, nor a screenshot anywhere because the fandom is pretty small. 

Oh, and that's not even all. I genuinely completely forgot about this bit (I guess because I still can't believe it actually happened) until I was trying to track down the half-remembered tweet and saw some comments reminding me that they continue the joke to an even more unhinged extreme in a later scene in the same episode.

D'avin says he'll find a way to cure Johnny after they escape the planet, and John smirks and cocks an eyebrow in what can only be described as a lascivious manner and asks "Like you cured Sabine?"

So, important information to know - D'avin is immune to the Green and his system repels it. This ability can be temporarily passed on to others via transfer of bodily fluids, which he inadvertently discovered the previous season while having sex with Hullen spy Sabine. To put it plainly - when he came inside her it made the Green expel itself from her body.

D'avin hastily protests that's not what he meant but Hullenized John continues to taunt him

...and despite his freakout, D'avin concedes he would fuck him to save him from being permanently Hullen if he had to.

And his choice of phrasing?

source: selecting a bagel (tumblr.com)

So. Many. Questions.

(Like were the writers on crack, for a start.)

Why, of all things Hullen Johnny could have done or said to mess with D'av and push his buttons, did he go with a kiss on the lips and sexually charged taunts, all the way up to pretty much straight-up propositioning him?

Now, he does knock him out and kidnap him a moment later, so the conversation did serve as a distraction technique, but again, there were surely less weird ways to distract him.

And D'av's response that he would if he had to - how serious was he being? Now, John's already drugged him at this point, which probably goes a long way towards explaining the flippant way he says it - but it's intriguing to wonder, could he really bring himself to do it if it really was the only possible cure? And how would they deal with the aftermath?

From the extreme fanfic-y end of the scale - where Hullen Johnny is exposing real hidden desires, to the less exciting and presumably intended option - that he's simply making the most shocking and abhorrent suggestion possible for the sadistic amusement of seeing D'av squirm - there's so many fascinating angles to consider and explore.

Headcanon-wise, I think my interpretation lies somewhere in the middle of the scale - that there's some genuine interest/curiosity/desire on John's part in that moment, but it wouldn't normally be there. With the Green rendering John unable to feel an emotional attachment to D'av as his brother and removing his capacity to have a moral objection to incest, all that's left is the objective potential for purely physical attraction and no reason not to express it if it's there. Given that he has commented on D'av's objective attractiveness a few times, that explanation makes sense. And it's hilarious to imagine them having to spend the rest of their lives in the quiet knowledge that he'd totally be down to bang if they weren't brothers and they both know it lol.

I've reminded myself of why I'm sad they're such a small/rare pairing, and already halfway convinced myself to start work on contributing the 9th fic to their pairing tag on Ao3, so I'll end it here. What else could top a canon scene of brothers actually pondering the question of what they'd do in a Fuck or Die scenario (well, a Fuck or Stay an Alien Slime-Controlled Emotionless Killer Forever scenario) and coming down on the side of 'welp, ya gotta do what ya gotta do'.

Actually, I'll chuck in one more gif that does a great job of summing them up - being the most stereotypical 'still have the mentality of 12 year olds when it comes to annoying each other' brothers ever, with an added dash of the occasional bit of slightly weird, almost flirt-adjacent dialogue.

Thanks for reading my ramble about two of my fave dumb boys, hope you enjoyed!

  Ok, one last thought - I'm going c r a z y trying to figure out what exactly he was even supposed to have meant by the exact word choice of "I'd wreck you." After seeing it again, I'm wondering if he was just saying with conviction that he'd do it without question (and do it thoroughly!) if he couldn't find any other way.

Because my first reaction was to interpret it as him suggesting he wouldn't do it, and was warning him to drop the subject, and he meant 'wreck' in a dumb, macho, bragging way like 'Oh, you think you could handle me but there's no way you could take it, so good thing this is only hypothetical because my dick's so big and/or I'm such a wild animal in the sack, I'd hurt you.'

Or could it have even been a dumb, macho bragging thing in the other direction, like 'I'd fuck you so good it'd blow your mind how much you'd love it and I'd ruin you for sex with anyone else'?

Or was it just the knockout gas making him delirious? A bit of all of the above? 

Who knows.

Who. Knows.

It was totally option three and you can't change my mind 😁

Guilty as sin - Chapter 10

The next day, Nicolette found herself sitting in her car in front of the Salvatore home, staring at the house, but unable to move. Her head was spinning with a whirlwind of emotions, each one battling for control. First, there was the happiness. She and Tyler had spent the previous night talking, really talking, about everything—their relationship, his new hybrid nature, the pull Klaus had over him. It was raw, honest, and in a way, it had brought them closer.

One thing had led to another, and what had started as an emotional heart-to-heart had turned into a passionate night together. For the first time in what felt like forever, Nicolette had felt connected to Tyler again, like the boy she had fallen for was still in there, fighting to resurface. For a moment, she had allowed herself to believe that maybe, just maybe, they could fix things.

But today was different. Today brought confusion and unease. Sitting in her car, Nicolette scrolled through her phone for the tenth time, her thumb hovering over the message she had received that morning from an unknown number.

"Meet me at the Salvatore house. We need to talk. – Rebekah."

Rebekah. Just the thought of her name sent a shiver down Nicolette’s spine. She had no idea why Rebekah would want to talk to her, but the prospect made her stomach twist in knots. After everything Rebekah had done—snapping her neck, tormenting her about Klaus, and now apparently being tasked with watching over Tyler—what could she possibly want?

Her mind raced with worst-case scenarios. Was this a trap? Another one of Klaus' manipulative moves to get under her skin? Or did Rebekah have her own agenda?

Nicolette leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. Part of her wanted to drive away, to ignore the message and not get involved in whatever game Rebekah was playing. But the other part—the part that wanted answers, that needed to protect Tyler and everyone else—knew she couldn’t just walk away.

With a sigh, Nicolette opened her eyes and stared at the house in front of her. Whatever was about to happen, she needed to be ready. After all, this was the world they lived in now—where ancient vampires, hybrids, and supernatural games dictated their lives.

Nicolette debated driving away, her fingers tightening around the steering wheel, heart thudding in her chest. Just as she was about to turn the ignition, Elena's car pulled up next to her, snapping her out of her internal conflict. She frowned and, after a moment of hesitation, grabbed her keys, pocketed her phone, and stepped out of the car.

Elena climbed out of her car, looking equally tense. “What are you doing here?” Nicolette asked, her voice laced with confusion as she crossed her arms, trying to shake the nervous feeling in her gut.

Elena looked just as surprised to see her. “I’ve been bugging Rebekah to tell me about her family ever since we found the cave. She’s been avoiding it, but today, she finally said she’d talk.” Elena paused for a moment, then asked, “What are you doing here?”

Nicolette glanced around the empty grounds of the Salvatore house, almost as if expecting something—or someone—to jump out at them. “She texted me,” she said, her brow furrowing. “Said she needed to talk.”

Elena raised an eyebrow. “That’s... strange.”

Nicolette let out a huff. “Tell me about it. I’m still trying to figure out why Rebekah would want anything to do with me after everything that’s happened. But I couldn’t just ignore it.”

The two girls exchanged a look, both sensing the tension hanging in the air. Whatever Rebekah had planned, it couldn’t be good. Rebekah wasn’t exactly known for her kindness, and the last time she and Nicolette had crossed paths, it had ended with broken necks and threats.

“You think she’s up to something?” Nicolette asked.

Elena shrugged, though her expression was far from confident. “With Rebekah? Always. But we can’t ignore her. We need to know what she knows, especially with Klaus still calling the shots and Stefan out there doing God knows what.” Her voice grew quieter, and Nicolette could sense the worry beneath Elena’s determined facade.

“Yeah,” Nicolette sighed, glancing back at the house. “I guess we’re about to find out.”

Together, they walked toward the Salvatore house, both bracing themselves for whatever twisted game Rebekah might be playing.

As they walked through the doors of the Salvatore house—because, honestly, who ever knocked here?—Nicolette and Elena stepped into the living room. Rebekah was already there, lounging on one of the couches as if she owned the place, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

“Ah, finally,” Rebekah said, her voice sweet but dripping with that usual smugness. “Nicolette. So glad you could make it.” Her gaze flickered to Elena, her smile fading slightly. “And Elena. Well, I suppose I can tolerate your presence for now.”

Elena shot a quick glance at Nicolette, but Nicolette couldn’t take her eyes off Rebekah. Something felt... off. The way Rebekah looked at her wasn’t filled with malice or condescension like usual. In fact, she seemed almost... friendly.

Rebekah rose from the couch and, in a move that nearly had Nicolette’s skin crawling, approached her with an odd sense of warmth. “I’m glad you came,” Rebekah said, her tone sincere, as if this wasn’t the same woman who had snapped Nicolette’s neck the last time they’d met. “We have a lot to talk about.”

Nicolette forced a polite smile, though she couldn’t hide the unease creeping through her. “Yeah... we do.”

It felt strange, standing here in what felt like friendly conversation with Rebekah. The girl who’d taunted her, hurt her, and made her life a living hell in recent days. And yet, Rebekah seemed genuinely happy to see her, which freaked Nicolette out more than if she had walked into a room full of threats.

Elena cleared her throat, breaking the tension. “So, what is this about? You said you’d tell me more about your family, Rebekah. That’s why I’m here.”

Rebekah’s smile twisted, growing a little sharper as she glanced Elena’s way. “Patience, doppelgänger. I’m sure you’ll find it worth the wait.”

Rebekah’s voice cut through the tension as she turned her back on Nicolette and Elena. "But first..." she said, her tone dripping with amusement, "Girls, have at it."

Nicolette furrowed her brow, confusion filling her as she exchanged a quick look with Elena. Who was Rebekah talking to?

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the house, and a line of girls entered the living room, all wearing homecoming dresses. They walked in with vacant expressions, eyes glazed over as if they were puppets on strings. Compelled. The realization hit Nicolette like a punch to the gut.

"Okay, now twirl, please," Rebekah commanded, her voice saccharine sweet as she gestured to the compelled girls. Without hesitation, the girls spun around, showcasing their dresses as if they were on some kind of bizarre runway.

Nicolette and Elena exchanged looks of disgust, both equally appalled by what they were seeing. Rebekah, however, looked utterly delighted by her impromptu fashion show.

“You’ve compelled your own private runway show?” Elena asked, her voice filled with disbelief and a hint of anger.

Rebekah’s smile widened, her eyes gleaming with pride. "I need a homecoming dress. So what do you think?" She glanced between Nicolette and Elena, as if this were the most normal, everyday thing in the world. "Pick one."

Nicolette stared at her, completely speechless for a moment. Of all the things she’d been expecting—some form of manipulation, a threat, maybe even some cryptic message from Klaus—this was the last thing she had anticipated.

“You’re joking, right?” Nicolette finally said, her voice laced with a mix of disbelief and irritation.

Rebekah's expression remained unfazed, her eyes still fixed on the compelled girls. “I wouldn’t joke about something as important as this. I’m going to make quite the entrance, after all.”

Nicolette let out a frustrated sigh, glancing at Elena again, who looked equally exasperated.

"Rebekah, seriously," Elena said, her voice steady but filled with irritation. "This is insane. You can’t just compel a group of girls to play dress-up for you."

Rebekah scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Oh, spare me your moral high ground, Elena. It's not like I’m asking for much. Just a little fashion advice." She turned to Nicolette with an expectant smile. "So? Which one do you like best?"

“We’re not here to help you shop,” Elena said firmly, her voice steady. “I’m here to talk about why you don’t want me to wake up Mikael.”

Rebekah’s smirk widened at Elena's words, but the amusement in her eyes quickly turned to something more dangerous. In a flash, she sped across the room, fangs extended, her arm gripping a blonde girl from behind, her teeth hovering dangerously close to the girl's throat.

Elena tensed, instinctively taking a step forward, and Nicolette was right beside her, mirroring the movement.

“I said pick one, Elena,” Rebekah’s voice was sharp, her fangs still on display, daring Elena to defy her.

Elena hesitated, her gaze flicking between the terrified girl in Rebekah’s grasp and Nicolette, who looked back at her with wide eyes. After a moment of tense silence, Elena lifted her hand and pointed to one of the girls. “The red one.”

“There,” Rebekah cooed, smoothing out the blonde girl’s hair with a chillingly gentle touch. “That wasn’t so hard, was it? Go away. Remember nothing.”

Nicolette watched in silent horror as the compelled girls left the room, their expressions vacant and unaware of the danger they had just been in. The casual cruelty in Rebekah's behavior sent a shiver down her spine.

Rebekah turned back toward them, her eyes glinting with that same mix of charm and menace that made her so unsettling. She strode over to Elena, her expression hardening as she met her gaze.

“You do not threaten me,” Rebekah hissed, stepping closer until they were nearly face to face. Nicolette, heart racing, instinctively moved slightly in front of Elena, shielding her.

Rebekah’s eyes flickered to Nicolette briefly before refocusing on Elena. “You will learn what I allow you to learn. Is that clear?”

Nicolette’s pulse was pounding in her ears, but she kept her posture firm, refusing to be intimidated. She could feel Elena tensing behind her, but neither of them backed down.

Rebekah’s gaze lingered for a moment longer, her smirk returning as if she'd won some silent battle. Then, without another word, she stepped back, her demeanor shifting once more to something more playful, like the tension moments earlier had never existed.

"Now," Rebekah said lightly, as though nothing had happened, "let’s talk about Mikael, shall we?

Rebekah’s smirk softened as she shifted the conversation, her eyes clouding with the distant look of someone recalling memories long buried. “Our family used to live in Eastern Europe. It was during the time of the plague, and death was everywhere. My father, Mikael, was a hard man, determined to protect us. But even he couldn't fight an invisible enemy.”

Nicolette and Elena stood still, listening intently as Rebekah’s voice took on a strange melancholy. It was clear that the memory weighed heavy on her, though she masked it well with her usual aloofness.

"But then," Rebekah continued, "we heard stories. Whispers of a new land across the sea. A place where people were healthy, strong, and fast."

Elena's brow furrowed, her mind working quickly to piece it together. “Fast?” she repeated, her voice tentative.

Rebekah looked at her sharply, eyes gleaming with something close to pride. “Yes, fast,” she confirmed. “We didn’t know what it meant then. We just thought it was paradise, somewhere to escape the death that surrounded us. But it was more than that.” Her gaze turned hard. “We were settling in what we would later come to know as werewolf territory.”

Nicolette’s heart sank. It was as if a dark veil had been pulled over Rebekah’s tale, and the weight of what was to come felt inevitable.

"It was my youngest brother, Henrik,” Rebekah said, her voice softer now, almost a whisper. “He was... curious about them, the werewolves. He and Niklaus snuck out one night to see the transformation. But..." She paused, eyes downcast for a brief moment before hardening again. "Henrik didn’t make it home.”

The room felt like it had grown colder. Elena’s eyes were wide, a flicker of sadness and realization crossing her face.

Rebekah didn’t stop, her voice hardening with bitterness. “It was a full moon. They attacked. Tore my brother apart while Niklaus watched, helpless to stop it.”

Elena’s breath hitched as she fully grasped what Rebekah was saying. “That’s why your mother...”

"Turned us into vampires,” Rebekah finished for her, her voice sharp and cold. “Yes. After Henrik's death, my mother, the Original Witch, did the unthinkable. She cast a spell, creating us as the first vampires, to make us stronger, faster... to protect us. But it came at a cost."

Nicolette stood frozen, the weight of Rebekah’s words sinking into her bones. It wasn’t just a story anymore. It was the origin of everything that had led them to this moment—the Salvatore brothers, Klaus, the Originals, and even Tyler’s transformation. It all traced back to this tragic event, to this one family and their fall from humanity.

"Our father, Mikael, hunted us down like animals,” Rebekah continued, her tone laced with bitterness. “He saw us as abominations. Monsters. He despised what we had become, especially Niklaus...”

There was a heavy pause, Rebekah's eyes darkening.

“Klaus,” Elena whispered, understanding now, “because he’s a hybrid.”

Rebekah’s gaze snapped to Elena, her lips curling slightly, as if proud that she’d caught on. “Yes. He’s part werewolf, and for that, Mikael hated him more than all of us combined.”

Nicolette felt a chill run down her spine as Rebekah’s words settled in. Everything had been set in motion by a single event—Henrik’s death. The origin of the Originals. Their curse. Their pain.

"You said your mother turned you? How?" Nicolette asked, her curiosity tinged with disbelief.

Rebekah's face was unreadable as she replied, "She slipped some blood into our wine, and then our father drove a sword through our hearts."

Nicolette gasped, her eyes widening. "He killed you?" The thought of Mikael, a father she already knew to be terrifying, murdering his own children sent a shudder through her. She touched the faint scar on her face, a reminder of her own near-death encounter with him centuries ago. She had always known Mikael was brutal, but this? This was unimaginable.

Rebekah's expression remained detached, her voice cold. "He wasn't gentle about it, either."

Nicolette's heart sank. She had experienced Mikael's cruelty firsthand, but hearing that he had killed his innocent children in such a calculated way left her shaken. She had never imagined the depths of his madness. Killing his children, turning them into something he would later hunt and despise, was beyond anything she could fathom.

Elena looked between them, wide-eyed, trying to process the revelation. "But why?" she asked, her voice cracking with disbelief. "How could he do that to his own family?"

Rebekah's gaze flickered to Elena, her lips curling into a bitter smile. "To make us stronger. Faster. So that we could survive. In his twisted mind, it was the only way to protect us. But in doing so, he made us into the very monsters he came to hate."

Nicolette’s heart sank even deeper. The Originals weren’t just powerful, immortal beings. They were victims of their own father’s twisted love, cursed to live forever because of his inability to protect them in any other way. The cruelty of it weighed heavy on her chest.

"And Niklaus?" Nicolette asked softly, not sure if she really wanted the answer.

Rebekah’s eyes darkened at the mention of her brother. "Niklaus had a different curse to bear. Our mother, in her grief and fear, discovered his werewolf bloodline. She bound his wolf side, made him a hybrid—but incomplete. He spent centuries searching for a way to break that curse, to become what he is now."

Nicolette felt a surge of anger. Klaus had caused so much pain in her life, in all of their lives. But hearing the truth about his past, about the betrayal by his own family, made her understand him in a way that she wished she didn’t. It didn’t excuse his actions, but it added a layer of complexity she hadn’t been prepared for.

"Your family...," Nicolette started, but words failed her. She couldn’t imagine the centuries of pain, betrayal, and violence that Rebekah had lived through.

Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "Yes, my family," she said with a cold smile. "Is it any wonder we're all so messed up?"

Nicolette remained silent, the weight of the truth pressing down on her. She had spent so long hating Klaus and fearing the Originals, but now that she knew the full story, she found herself feeling something she never thought possible—pity.

Rebekah swallowed hard, her face tightening as if she was on the verge of tears, but she quickly pushed past it, brushing by both Elena and Nicolette. "You've heard the story. It's time to go," she said, her voice cold and distant. She shot a sharp look at Elena. "I said leave, Elena! I don’t know what you’re up to, but I am no longer playing along."

Elena stood her ground, her tone steady as she said, "I’m just looking for one good reason why we shouldn’t wake Mikael."

Nicolette, frowning in disbelief, turned to Elena. "Are you serious, Elena? That man is an abusive murderous monster!"

Elena looked at Nicolette, her expression one of confusion. It was clear she didn’t understand why Nicolette was suddenly defending Rebekah, the girl who had caused so much pain.

Rebekah shook her head, bitter laughter escaping her. "She will anyway," she said, her voice full of resignation. "I know you want him to help you kill my brother. I’m not stupid."

"It’s no secret that I want Klaus dead," Elena admitted. "He has a hold over Stefan’s life and over mine."

Rebekah's glare hardened, her eyes flashing with fury. "Do what you need. Wake Mikael at your own peril. But make no mistake," she said, stepping closer to Elena. "If you come after my brother, I will rip you apart. And I get my temper from my father." She pointed toward the door. "Now leave."

Elena cast her eyes down, the weight of Rebekah's threat settling in. She looked back at Nicolette. "Let's just go."

Nicolette hesitated, glancing between Elena and Rebekah. "You go," she said after a pause. "I promised Damon I'd come by, so I'll wait for him here."

Elena gave her a puzzled look but didn’t press the issue. She nodded and headed for the door, leaving Nicolette standing alone, her lie hanging in the air. Rebekah didn’t seem to care about the deceit, but Nicolette could feel the tension thickening around them.

Rebekah settled onto the couch, her usual air of confidence and sharpness briefly giving way to a quieter, more reflective demeanor. Nicolette watched her for a moment, unsure of what to say or do. Finally, she walked over to the bar cart, poured two hefty glasses of bourbon, and made her way to the couch, sitting down next to Rebekah. Without a word, she handed her one of the glasses.

For a moment, they sat in silence, the weight of everything unsaid between them. Then, almost unexpectedly, Nicolette spoke, her voice soft. "I'm sorry about Henrik... and what your father put you through."

Rebekah looked at her, visibly caught off guard. Confusion flickered across her face, as if she couldn’t understand why Nicolette was suddenly offering her kindness. "Why would you say that?" Rebekah asked, her voice quieter than usual, still carrying a guarded edge.

Nicolette shrugged, staring down at her drink. "Because... I know what it’s like to lose people, to be hurt by someone you trusted. What your father did, it's beyond cruel." She glanced up at Rebekah. "No one deserves that."

Rebekah’s expression softened for just a moment, the walls she’d built so high around her emotions beginning to crack. But she quickly masked it with her usual bravado. "I’m a thousand-year-old vampire. I don’t need your sympathy."

"I know," Nicolette replied, her tone steady. "But it doesn't mean you don’t deserve it."

For a moment, Rebekah said nothing. She took a sip of the bourbon, her eyes distant, as if lost in a memory she couldn’t escape. The silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable, though—it was filled with a quiet understanding.

Rebekah’s gaze narrowed, and her voice dropped to a more serious tone. "When I spoke of my father... you touched the scar on your face. Am I safe to assume he did that to you?"

Nicolette nodded, a heaviness settling in her chest. "Centuries ago..," she replied, her voice steady despite the memories that threatened to resurface.

Rebekah’s expression shifted, a mixture of shock and empathy crossing her features. "I can’t believe he would go that far," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "He did the same to his own children."

Nicolette could sense the pain in Rebekah’s words, the shared trauma binding them in an unexpected way. "You survived," she said softly. "We both did. That counts for something."

"Does it?" Rebekah asked, her eyes reflecting a storm of emotions. "Sometimes I feel like the scars we carry define us more than we’d like to admit."

"They only define us if we let them," Nicolette replied, her voice firm. "We have the power to rewrite our stories." For a moment silence filled the space surrounding them.

Nicolette chuckled lightly, breaking the tension in the air. "To be honest, I still think you’re a raging bitch," she said, a playful glint in her eyes. "But at least now I understand why. It doesn’t excuse your cruelty, but it explains it."

Rebekah raised an eyebrow, a small smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Well, at least I’m not just a villain in your story anymore," she retorted, her tone lightening. "I’m a villain with a tragic backstory."

"Exactly," Nicolette replied, a warmth spreading through her chest. "We all have our demons, don’t we? But it’s how we choose to face them that really matters."

Rebekah’s smirk faded slightly, replaced by a more genuine expression. "Maybe there’s hope for me yet," she said, her voice softening. "Or maybe I just need more bourbon."

Nicolette laughed, raising her glass. "Here’s to bad choices and unlikely friendships, then."

"Cheers to that," Rebekah replied, clinking her glass against Nicolette’s once more. In that moment, beneath the weight of their shared histories, a new understanding began to blossom, laying the groundwork for an unexpected alliance.

Next chapter

When is The Big Bad Wolf Act 2 coming out?? Are you going to release monthly or all at once?? (I just finished the series and I’m in love 🩷🩷 no rush to write, just wondering if you have an idea because you have loyal readers waiting to love it!!! Have a great day <3)

Hello! Lovely to meet you and thank you so much for reading, that fic is a BEAST. So glad you enjoyed it!

So. When is the next update coming out? [nervous laughter]

Thing is, I told myself now I'm halfway i'll go back and edit, smooth things out before this fic literally becomes too long to tackle and that kinda...turned into a full rewrite?

I'm not changing the plot. That's exactly the same. But my ideas for the lore have changed since I first started writing and I wanted to add in a whole lot more of characterisation and set up for the chapters to come. I rewrote The Little Wolf back in December and recently did some tweaking to chapter 5 of it just this last week (I couldn't work out how to fix it when I first did the rewrite but I had an EPHIPHANY okay). So The Little Wolf is around 35k now, which is a huge difference to the 11k it was in November when I posted chapter 35 of tbbw. It's got tons of new scenes, a sharper forcus on the Mikaelson siblings not just Klaus and two whole new chapters. Of course, you've probably already read that as it is posted and you're a new reader, but that's what I was doing before Christmas, essentially.

As for The Big Bad Wolf itself...boy, where do I start. I'm approaching 85k on the rewrite...only on chapter 7. Which technically used to be chapter 6, because I got 5 chapters in before I added a new chapter. I guess that's a record for my restraint, at least.

So, in terms of what's happening: I'm re-writing tbbw. The plot isn't changing, but new scenes are being added, conversations are being tweaked, the lore is being more consistently fleshed out. Grammar for dialogue is being given a complete overhaul because that was a mess. But. Listen. It's so much better. It's so fucking better. I re-read the chapters I've done and in some places, the drafts aren't quite finished yet, like my writer brain is like fix this later BUT omg it's like, THE shit. It's so good. I've very excited.

I'm not sure how long it will take to finish. I might be able to stop halfway and post the rewritten/edited chapters I've got so far but I make no promises because I feel more inclined to keep going and get it all done in one. Some chapters won't need much work at all as they've been more heavily edited in the past (chapter 8 and 9 should be done pretty quickly, just giving them a facelift), while others I'm really ripping into. There's one chapter I know I'll either delete or delete scenes from to be replaced with something else (don't worry, the scenes will go into my deleted scenes fic on ao3, it's not gone forever).

So yeah. At the rate I'm going, I'm not gonna lie, it may take till the summer before I get all this editing done AND finish the new chapter 36 update - and you may get two new chapters at once, because it might be a long one and I might split it. But by the end of it, tbbw won't be 378k anymore. It'll probably be closer 450k. So you'll get a 50k+ update (along with some bonus stuff) to the whole fic and then a week later I'll post the new chapters (I used to post fornightly, a chapter every two weeks, and I'll go back to that when I'm done).

But yeah. I've written like, 110k since December, which for context is is closing in on the equivalent of the second book of TLOTR trilogy: The Return of the King was 137,115 words. That's an epic novel's worth. In three months.

An arguement could be made that I'm making this fic way too long but I don't really care? I love writing this. It makes my head spin and makes me tear my hair out but...it's so much fun too. And I get to rewrite canon, the way it should have been (we were so ROBBED 😭😭😭), so hey! It's free therapy too! I'm not going to stop as long as I'm loving every second.

Thanks for reading, and thank for listening to my insane plans! Hopefully, I'll see you there on ao3 when this fic is back for business!!

-And it WILL be back.

Daddy's Boy

So I was writing some short incest stories that involved father x son and it made me think of a real life one I witnessed long ago. 

Trigger warnings: Eating disorder, drug addiction and abuse mentioned. (These do not relate with the incest. The incest relationship here was consensual. Both adults.)

So back in 2012, I met this boy at school and we became close friends. Because we were both outcasts, gay and had family issues at home. And we have the same interests. And no, nothing romantic or sexual ever happened between us. I was actually in love with someone way older at the time, but never went for it. My friend, let’s call him Kol, he had an on and off boyfriend at the time.

Unfortunately, our love lives didn’t work out, we just never could find the right guy, but it gave us more time to hang out. Kol had finally revealed that he struggled with an eating disorder due to his mother, let’s call her Esther, mocking his weight and looks since he was little, and just making everything horrible for him, even hitting him or locking up all the food pantries to starve him if she caught him eating food that looked unhealthy.

And in return I told him about my drug addiction issues and conservative family hating me for the choices I make and all that bullshit. Kol talked about how he hated his mother, how she made his father leave when he was a kid and how he wished his father would come take him away. So I encourage him to try to look for his father.

Then in 2013 summer time, my friend had gotten in contact with his father, let’s call him Klaus, by getting his number from a friend of his father who worked at a store and thought Kol’s surname seemed familiar and asked if he was related to Klaus. Apparently Klaus was still in town, but lived out of town in a cozy cottage in the woods. But Esther was angry about this and did not let Kol and Klaus meet, which caused Kol to be depressed, that sometimes I wouldn’t hear from him for days.

2 months later, me and Kol were supposed to go a trip to the beach that Esther planned, but I had got into a fight with someone at school, then fought with my family back at home because of it, and then later I ended up taking too much pills to get high and almost overdosing to death, then I had to be taken to a hospital for a while. Kol kept in touch and visited me from time. I feel bad about this until now, but I stopped talking with him after I left the hospital. I just wanted to be alone and hid in my room forever whenever I wasn’t needed.

2 years passed and it was 2015. Me and Kol were 19 now, we haven’t spoke since, but he saw me playing a video game again on Steam PC one night, because we were still friends there and he messaged me. I apologized for being a shit friend and ignoring him, then he told me he was so upset, but he forgives me. He then went on to tell me that he finally met his father recently after just texting only each other back in 2014 and had been hanging out at his cottage now. I was happy for him and then Kol invited me to stay over at his father’s place anytime.

I figured why not. I can’t rot in this room forever. So I packed up and met up with Kol at our favorite juice shop we used to go to. We both changed so much. I used to dress in a more conservative clothing, but went with an all black wardrobe. But Kol looked amazing. He used to be really thin and dressed in hoodies and sweats. Now he’s toned with muscle and dressed in shirts and shorts that were tight, clearly to get attention.

So I finally met his father who was driving us. I guess I should also mention Kol told me back then that his mother and father had him at a very young age, so it wasn’t really that a shock to me that his father would look young just like his mother. Klaus was really handsome. He had dark hair, green eyes like Kol and it was obvious he was really buff under that suit he was wearing. Klaus said he would need to be in the office soon and he drove us to his cottage, so I assumed he was one of those rich office workers.

Alright. Let’s go to the incest now.

I started hanging out at the cottage quite a lot. I would notice things with Kol and Klaus. I should also say that I’ve been an incest shipper since forever so I wasn’t freaked out by this. I thought it was cute. Sometimes would even ship them together in my mind. Like when we were watching a movie together one night. Kol would sit on his father’s lap and Klaus would have his arms around him. Then they would give each other loving looks every few minutes. Or sometimes I would fall asleep in the living room. Then I would look for Kol, just to find him snuggled in Klaus’ arms in his father’s room. Or I would find Klaus sleeping in his son’s room, then later Kol would take a nap and join him, and Kol would just be in his boxers getting hugged by Klaus.

I pushed thoughts of them being lovers out of my mind, because they haven’t seen in each other in forever and maybe they’re just close and affectionate like that. Because they both sure didn’t get love from that evil creature of a mother. So a few weeks later, I was at the cottage again. Yeah, I probably spend way too much time there than my own home. But whatever keeps me away from my own rancid family. I actually walked there by myself to, it’s really not too far. At least to me.

So I saw that Klaus had brought a man and woman, who look like they were in their 30s over and they stayed the night. They were both attractive and dressed like they going to a party and they both made flirty comments to Klaus, which he smirked at, and I took that as Klaus being bisexual. I could tell Kol wasn’t happy about it. He seemed jealous and just quiet, but pissed off.

The next day, me and Kol were in the kitchen eating sushi, talking about a weird dream I had about waterspouts. His father came in, shirtless just in his pajama pants, and the same man showed up, also shirtless, then the woman showed up as well, just wearing a shirt. They tried to introduce themselves to Kol and me, but Kol got up and slammed the table in anger and said “You’re both done fucking around with my father! Now get the fuck out!”

Me and everyone was shocked at that. I mean I was kind of laughing inside. He was so jealous. The man and woman said nothing and quickly left. Then I heard Kol and Klaus in the other room. Kol was crying and accusing Klaus that he’s gonna find someone else and abandon him back to his mother, which Klaus explained, he did not sleep with that couple, they were just his friends and that he loves Kol only. I peeked through the crack of the door, because I’m fucking nosey, and saw Kol jump into his father’s arms crying. They hugged for a long time.

“What a daddy’s boy.” I thought. I was actually kind of jealous myself. He was so close to a family member and I fucking hate all of mine. So then thoughts of them being in love came back to me when Kol had a little party at the cottage with people who I don’t even recognize. Turns out, they were girls and boys who Kol met up at college while I was rotting in my room back then.

During midnight, the rest of the party goers left and we were with 4 girls and 4 boys at a bonfire near the woods. They were all drunk and telling dumb stories. I met a guy earlier and we started liking each other pretty quickly. Let’s him Stefan. So I found some fruity candy that melts if you put it in your mouth and started to play a game with Stefan where I would take a candy in my mouth and put it into his mouth, which resulted in kissing. The rest of the group saw us and started copying us.

I didn’t expect Kol to join us. He put a candy into his mouth and I thought he was just gonna eat it. But then he went into his fathers lap and pushed his face into Klaus’ face who didn’t stop him, their mouths quickly touched, while they made eye contact and Klaus took the candy and ate it.

I was the only one who saw this happened, the others were drunk laughing about something with Stefan. I was so surprised. No father and son would do that together at all. Now I really thought they were a thing or at least secretly wanted each other.

This is when I get full confirmation. I started becoming close to Stefan and we got together and I started seeing Kol less, because I was spending more time with Stefan at his apartment, but me and Kol texted everyday. A year later, 2016, it didn’t work out with Stefan, he had cheated on me and I decided to stay single for a while. So then I realized I can go back to hanging out with Kol again since I didn’t have some guy bothering me anymore.

It became June and Kol had invited me to his 20th birthday party. When it came to that day, I noticed there wasn’t really much people involved and I know Kol, he liked inviting tons of people when he threw parties. It was just Klaus, Kol, me and a few college friends and his father’s work friends, but they all left early after the cake. I asked him about this and he told me he just needs his father and his friend (me) with him, that’s all that matters. I thought it was sweet.

Later on, I was getting ready upstairs so I can use the hot tub outside, when I heard a woman’s voice down stairs. I secretly got by the banister and looked down into the room below and saw that it was Esther. Kol’s toxic abusive mother who had another man by her side, who I assumed was her new boyfriend. She came uninvited and she was screaming at Kol and Klaus.

This is when I finally get my answer. Esther had revealed that she was still so disgusted at Klaus and Kol, because she caught them having sex in the lake near the cottage. So yeah, they were a couple after all. I fucking knew it. Them being lovers wasn’t just something my incest shipper rotted mind made up.

She then threatened them she was gonna tell the police, but when Klaus was telling her she had no proof of what they had done and warned her to leave. Kol snapped and told Esther that if she tries to do anything that keeps them apart, he will also let the cops know she beat him and starved him for days.

This made her shut up and back down. This is when I come downstairs. They were about to leave, but then I made a snarky comment towards Esther about how “So that’s why I was smelling dead skunk.” and Esther’s boyfriend didn’t like that and attacked me. He punched me and Esther called me a white trash crackhead. And I had lost my temper and fought back, I hit him many times. The cops were called, but I made it seem like she came over here to start shit with me and had her boyfriend attack me. They both were taken away. 

Kol asked if I heard everything. Meaning If I know about him and his father. I told him yes. Kol and Klaus both explained that there’s no abuse going on with them. That they fell in love and truly really love each other and make each other happy. I told them I understand and support them. And I also admitted they look cute together. Me and Kol hugged for a while, because sadly I wasn’t gonna see him again after this.

My stupid family finds out about my fight and then decides to move away to a different state where my aunt also lives to start fresh. Because according to them, I caused so much trouble in this town and now everyone talks bad about me and my family. When it happened in 2017, I ended up leaving my parents new home and moved with my aunt and her new husband. They were much nicer to me.

I keep in contact with Kol, but we hardly talk that much anymore, because he got busy with work. Which is totally understandable. Last I heard in 2021, he and Klaus moved somewhere new and are still secretly, but happily together. I’m glad for them.

A lot of speculation about others gets sent in to this blog but you actually got to find out the truth. 

Thanks for sharing this with us and for including all of the details. It was like watching a movie!

I hope everyone is happy and doing well.

I AM THIS CLOSE TO INTERNALLY COMBUSTING

I am GRABBING Netflix by the throat and strangling them WITH THE MIGHT OF THOR AND ZEUS COMBINED

OKAY LISTEN UP, LISTEN HERE CAUSE OH OH OH BOY HOT DIGGITY DOG I THINK I FINALLY SNAPPED

I don't care what ANYONE SAYS OR THINKS, Umbrella academy season 3, aside from Viktor coming out, IS NON CANON

IT'S BEEN LIKE- A YEAR NOW SO I'M LETTING MY FEELINGS FLY

FIVE IS GREAT, KLAUS IS GREAT, VIKTOR COMING OUT IS GREAT, MEANWHILE THE OTHER CHARACTERS ARE POORLY WRITTEN, THE PLOTS SUCK, THEY AREN'T CONSISTENT WITH ANY OF THE PREVIOUS CONTINUITY OR CANON OF THE SHOW AND NOTHING IN IT MAKES SENSE, SO MUCH SO THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES MY BRAIN HURT AND ALL OF IT IS VERY VERY RUSHED

I will agree season 3 did have it's good moments like Five being a great character and Klaus being great character, the two going on a road trip, Viktor coming out, and Reginald struggling to open the tin of butter cookies that I know for a fact we all struggle with opening on our own.

The series an adaption that very loosely followed the comics, much like how Big Hero Six did with it's comics, the series and the comics are in their own seperate world entirely. BUT, SINCE THE COMIC OF UA ENDED WHERE SEASON 3 BEGAN, AND SEASON THREE IS ABSOLUTELY FOUL COMPARED TO THE 2 OTHER AMAZING SEASONS BASED ON THE COMIC BOOK, SEASON 3 (ASIDE FROM VIKTOR COMING OUT) IS NON CANON TO ME

Gather the guys and gals and nonbinary pals we are pulling a Harry Potter fanbase and TAKING AWAY THIS FROM NETFLIX AND CLAIMING IT FOR OURSELVES, YES NETFLIX LOST UMBRELLA ACADEMY PRIVILEGES THEY ARE NOW OURS

Unless they redeem themselves with season 4 they aren't getting them back, I REFUSE

This show is amazing to me and the only canon things to me are season 1 and 2, and Viktor coming out, THAT'S IT.

IT'S NOT FOLLOWING THE COMIC ANYMORE THEREFORE IT ISN'T AN ADAPTATION LIKE THE OTHER 2, THEREFORE EVERYTHING IN SEASON 3 ASIDE FROM VIKTOR COMING OUT EXISTS IN IT'S OWN UNIVERSE.

Klaus never meant to find her in the first place.

Klaus found out who his real father was when he was 6, his mother had to tell the truth so that he wouldn’t be alone when he first began turning. Werewolves shift for the first time during puberty. Klaus’ father was a very good teacher, and treated the boy much better than Mikael, so Klaus enjoyed their time together. He began shifting at 11, the full moons being something he can’t resist and it took another few years for him to gain control during them but by the time he was 14 he was spending all night every full moon running with his pack…until he turned 16.

Y/n had moved to town 2 weeks earlier and while Klaus quite liked her, she was almost instantly popular and he knew he had no shot. That full moon however his wolf didn’t give him a choice, Klaus had thought he was insane for hearing his wolf talking about her in his head (his wolf never really caring for anyone before) but here he sits, fully shifted, in the woods behind her house as she does her homework in the shed which seems more like a bedroom from what he can tell from the window.

He couldn’t control his paws for the first time in years as his wolf brought him here and now he refused to leave, staring at Y/n in awe. Klaus could practically feel his cock swelling desperately as he stared at her and it seemed his whines were too loud when her head snapped up and she moved to the door to peek outside.

Once again Klaus couldn’t move as he tried to keep her from seeing him but his wolf said “no” very clearly when his feet wouldn’t move. ‘Holy shit!’ She gasped, lunging back as she saw him staring at her, the abnormally large wolf clearly startling her. ‘Um…hi? Are you okay?’ She asked and Klaus had to remind himself that she doesn’t know who he is and wasn’t actually asking him, though he found it touching that she was asking his wolf if he was alright…his girl is so sweet. ‘Are you hungry?’ She spun around to go back inside and while he knew she would come back he once again couldn’t stop as he walked into the small shed (that he took up nearly a quarter of), making her gasp as she turned around. ‘Don’t hurt me, please?’ She pleaded softly as if to not startle him and he shook his head. ‘Woah…do…do you understand me?’ He dropped his chin in a nod and her jaw fell, dropping the bag of chips to the floor where he licked a few from the plastic and ate them before sitting down. ‘So you’re an overly large wolf that can understand me and answer my questions…cool. Okay Y/n, don’t panic.’

Klaus whined, creeping closer and resting his big head on her lap which caused her to gasp but she didn’t push him away, taking a moment before petting his head and beginning to scratch behind his ears. He whined again, rolling onto his back on the floor and waiting for her to rub his belly and he wasn’t sure if it shocked her or him more.

‘You’re such a sweet boy, aren’t you?’ Now Klaus understands why dogs love this so much, belly rubs feel incredible!

He ended up laying beside her on her bed while she did the homework Klaus still hadn’t done himself and every now and again she would take a break to give him scratches. He was actively ignoring his pack searching for him but there was something about this girl that pulled him in, and not just him but his wolf.

Y/n drifted off somewhere around 1 am and he stayed there with her, she hadn’t needed a blanket as she wrapped her arms around his body and eventually he drifted off as well. It wasn’t until 4:30 that he awoke again knowing he was close to changing back and woke her to let him out. He knew she was waiting for him to come back and it hurt his heart but he couldn’t and this time his wolf begrudgingly listened to him, running back home before he shifted back. He ran back to the home he stayed in with his father since he had turned 10, finding his phone and not taking but 2 minutes to find her on Instagram and spending the next 20 minutes looking through her pictures, his wolf howling in his head as he saw her again. It was at that point that his father walked into the house, a questioning look on his face.

‘Would you like to tell me where you were?’ He asked and Klaus settled himself to be screamed at before explaining exactly what had happened tonight. ‘Oh my boy, you’ve found your mate. Congratulations!’ He grinned, clapping Klaus on the shoulder. He had heard the term ‘mate’ a few times since meeting his father but not often and he didn’t really know what it meant. ‘Every wolf has a mate, their other half, though we’re not all lucky enough to meet them this young, you have truly been blessed son-‘

‘Blessed?! How have I been blessed?! A girl like her will never give me the time of day! She’s pretty, and popular, and perfect! I’m just a freak who’s only friend is the howling animal in my head!’ His dad rolled his eyes, finding his sons excuses to be stupid and pointless.

‘Klaus, our mates are our mates for a reason, they’re perfect for us. Popular or not, that doesn’t matter, she will feel it too. Not quite as strong as you do until you’re mated, but she will. Trust your wolf, he knows what he’s doing, and he knows what he needs. He is driven to care for and protect his mate, she will notice you eventually, I promise. She’s also the only non-pack member you’ll ever be able to tell about what you are, she is your mate and that makes her family. Try not to worry Niklaus, I’m sure she’ll be yours soon enough.’ With that his father told him to go to bed, always taking him in for a half day after a full moon so that he could get some sleep. All he saw was her though, his perfect little mate staring back at him with a smile on her face.

He dreamed of her arms wrapped around him again, a comforting warm feeling of having his mate snuggle up with his wolf…his dream turning much less innocent quickly when it comes to his wolfs desperation to rut his mate and while he had never imagined it before, it’s all he could think about now, his perfect little mate presenting herself for him, tasting her perfect little cunt before mounting her and-

He jumped up in his bed as his alarm went off, groaning at the raging erection he was going to have to deal with before getting up to get in the shower.

The half day was long as he was so tired, but at least he got to see her, staring at her in the library as they all worked on a book report that Klaus couldn’t give less of a shit about. It wasn’t until the end of the day after that, that he saw her again and Klaus felt his feet moving without his consent again. As he tried to stop he was overcome by the growl in the back of his head and the sound of his father telling him to trust his wolf. He was stood at the bottom of the stairs when he finally stopped, hearing a squeal before he looked up and thanked God for his wolfy reflexes as he opened his arms and caught his mate as she tripped down the last few steps. He held her to his chest and they both froze, looking into each others eyes as if in a trance, Klaus’ wolf howling in his head at having his mate in his arms and her seeing those eyes from last night all over again…but that’s impossible.

‘What the fuck? Put her down you freak!’ A voice snapped and just before a hand grabbed onto Y/n, Klaus placed her on her feet and grabbed the hand, twisting it painfully away from her.

‘Oh God! You are really strong, aren’t you?’ She asked him and all Klaus could do was blush.

‘You fucking freak, you are gonna pay for that.’ The jock that Klaus had never bothered to learn the name of snapped.

‘Sean! That’s enough! He saved me, stop behaving like a caveman!’ His mate was…sticking up for him?

She’s adorable when she’s angry.

‘Thank you, um…it’s Klaus, isn’t it?’ He nodded his head and she smiled. ‘I’m Y/n. Thank you Klaus, you just saved me some major embarrassment…and probably a few injuries.’

‘You’re welcome Y/n.’ Sean threw his arm around Y/n’s shoulder and pulled her away before she could say anything else and Klaus glared back at him, hating the asshole that gets to touch his mate, that should be him!

By the time Klaus got home he was ready to collapse into bed and call it a night, even if he’d only been at school half a day. That’s when his phone chimed and he looked down to see he had a new follower on his Instagram. He saw Y/n’s page shining back at him and a notification that he had a message from her, opening it to see a phone number. His stomach was doing somersaults as he quickly saved the number and texted it, her name and a question mark as if she would give him someone else’s number.

Mate: Who else would it be🤣

Her response put him at ease as he messaged her back again, and she promptly answered him. They spent the rest of the night like that, texting back and forth, getting to know each other and he couldn’t believe the fact that his father was so right!

They texted through the next few days before they decided to hang out, Y/n coming to Klaus’ place after school on Friday and spending time together for the first real time since he was a wolf. Speaking of wolves.

‘You have a lot of wolf stuff in your house.’ She commented as she looked around the living room and they did, decorations and carvings, their pack emblem being almost everywhere.

‘Yeah, it’s kind of a family thing I guess. If it freaks you out we can go to my room.’

‘No, it doesn’t freak me out, I like wolves…we can go to your room though.’ She shrugged and he thanked God for his abilities again because he could smell just how nervous she was. He didn’t understand how she came off so calm and relaxed while she was so nervous, but he admired it. He took her hand, leading her through the house and up the stairs to his bedroom. His fathers room was the entirety of the basement so Klaus had the master bedroom which he loved, having to share a room with Kol his whole life until he moved here at 10. ‘Wow! This is huge!’ Klaus smiled, sitting down on his bed with her beside him as she looked around. ‘You have a lot of art work, do you paint a lot?’ He nodded.

‘Yeah, it’s a hobby. I hoped to go to school for it but I already have a job here lined up after school so I get to just keep doing it whenever I want.’ She smiled at that.

‘That cool. It’s nice that you know what you’re gonna do…I don’t want to go to college, I’m garbage at school and I know I’m just gonna flunk out but my parents insist. I have savings and they want me to use that to pay for the first few semesters and then go into debt after so that I can get a job that will suffocate me for the rest of my life…I’m sorry…I don’t know why I just told you that.’ She blushed a deep shade of red and his wolf howled in the back of his head, pushing him to comfort her.

‘It’s okay, I…I like that you’re so comfortable around me. If you don’t want to go to school then don’t, use the money to figure out what you want…maybe you’ll know by the time we’re done school.’ He shrugged but she shook her head.

‘I doubt it…I’ve always felt like my parents just want rid of me. I’m their last kid and once I’m gone they’re done, they’re shit parents already anyway but…I always wanted a real family, one that just feels comfortable and safe, you know?’ He nodded right away.

‘Honestly I do. My dads family is like that for me, once I moved away from my mom and step dad I felt so much better, this place is…home.’

‘I’m glad you have that Klaus. You deserve it.’ He hugged her to his side and she rested her head on his shoulder.

‘You do too.’

He quickly found out that Sean wasn’t Y/n’s boyfriend which he thanked the Gods for, giving him the chance to ask her out himself and he did. Since that first weekend at his house they spent almost every day together and he took her on dates every weekend, loving that he got to make his girl feel special. He wanted to give her everything. Klaus knew that Y/n wasn’t the normal girl their age, she didn’t want to attend college or get a fancy job, even if she never said it out loud he knew she just wanted to be safe and loved for the first time in her life. It’s what he had wanted before finding out what he was too and he knew that’s why she was his perfect mate, and he wanted so badly to give her that. To give her a home and a family, to protect his mate the way he was driven to and he thanked the Gods that she seemed happy around his pack because he knew he could give her everything here.

Klaus spoke to his father about Y/n, and he knew that once they graduate she could come and live with him, he’ll have a job in the pack, his own place on their land and be able to take care of her…as long as she knew about him first. He didn’t know how to go about that though, it’s not a normal conversation to have honestly, he worried for a while about how to tell her but thankfully he didn’t have to. She figured it out herself.

It had been a month since Klaus had met Y/n and once again his wolf was excited to go and visit his mate, sprinting all the way to her house, seeing her in her room which he now knows is the she-shed out back that she turned into a bedroom so her parents didn’t bother her. He whined as he approached the door, scraping it gently and it opened quickly, her smile growing wide at seeing him.

‘Hey buddy! You came back!’ She moved to let him in and shut the door behind him before turning and petting his head gently but still cautiously. ‘Where have you been, huh? I was starting to think it was all a dream.’ He hopped onto the bed beside her and ate the cheese puffs she fed him for a few minutes before she reached for her phone. ‘Klaus is never gonna believe this.’ She spoke, FaceTiming him quickly and he watched her face fall when he didn’t answer. ‘He always answers, he answers me at 3am, what the hell?’ She tried again and once again he didn’t answer. ‘I hope he’s okay…’ Klaus felt guilty for not being able to answer her but what could he do? He just wanted to stay right here and snuggle up next to his mate. He laid his head down on her lap, smelling the heavy scent of her crotch right next to his nose and suppressing the response his body desperately wants to have. He could suddenly smell fear coming off of Y/n and he looked up to see her staring right back at him with a weird look on her face. ‘…Klaus?’ She asked and he felt his eyes widen and his ears go flat against his head. ‘You have the same eyes…you don’t answer your phone…the wolf can understand me and it’s a full moon every time you show up-Oh My God!’ She jumped from the bed and moved for the door making him lunge in front of her to stop her from leaving. She backed away slowly, clearly scared of how he was going to react so he whined, laying down on the floor and covering his nose with his paws as if to show her that he won’t hurt her and she seemed to agree to calm down, sitting back on her bed and staring at him. ‘Werewolves are real…cool…that’s cool, right? I mean it could be worse…’ he whined, nuzzling under her arm and making her scratch him. ‘Okay, I’ll chill out.’ She laughed, scratching his neck until he rolled over and enjoyed a belly rub once again. ‘This is the strangest thing I think I’ve ever done, I’m rubbing my boyfriends belly.’ He didn’t notice right away, enjoying the scratching that she was giving him though he realized quickly when she gasped and pulled away from him that she could see his erection coming out at the wonderful feeling she was giving him and he quickly jumped up. ‘It’s okay Nik, it’s not a big deal.’ She said, moving to touch him but he leaned away. ‘Hey, it’s not your fault, do I look upset?’ She didn’t, she looked as understanding as she always did and he both loved and hated it. ‘I don’t get upset when you’re human and it happens, why would I get upset now? Now let me rub your belly, come here.’ He rolled back over and did as she asked, enjoying the belly rubs she continued giving him. ‘It doesn’t hurt, does it? Like do you…do you need help?’ Did he hear her right? Did she just offer to help with his erection while he’s a wolf? He whined, feeling his cock begin to throb even harder as he pictured his mate with her hand wrapped around his red, swollen cock. He looked up at her as she stared at it before shrugging and reaching out to touch it, her fingers grazing down it before taking it in her hand and pumping it gently. His tongue flopped out of his mouth and he was panting like crazy as his cock just got bigger the more needy he got, his hips thrusting up into her hand and prompting her to move faster. ‘I’m not hurting you, right?’ He shook his head quickly from where it rested against her thigh. ‘It’s really hot…’ It was only another second of her stroking him before his cock began shooting out a truly impressive amount of cum. ‘Oh Fuck!’ She stroked him through it before using tissues to clean the mess off of her. ‘I can honestly say I did not see this being how my night went.’

It took a moment for him to begin thinking clearly again, feeling as if his wolfs mind was overtaken by the lustful ecstasy she had given him, staring up at her in awe before licking her face and making her giggle like crazy. His nose then trailed down her top, smelling her deeply and knowing how wet she is, practically tasting it on his tongue already making him whine and sit back to look at her.

‘No, it’s okay. You don’t need to-Ah!’ He cut her off, biting onto her pajama pants and pulling her forward quite hard, her whole body jerking with his firm yank. ‘Holy Shit, you’re strong! Okay! But no teeth!’ She warned and he rolled his eyes. Klaus may not have ever done this in his human body before but he did understand that she wouldn’t take kindly to teeth against her pussy…especially wolf teeth. She was dripping as she removed her panties, leaning back against her pillows awkwardly. He really wanted to be human right now and enjoy eating her out for the first time while he had opposable thumbs but he would be happy with this. ‘Klaus, you know you don’t have to-Oh Fuck!’ She shouted as he licked his long tongue straight up her cunt, lapping at her roughly. She tasted like magic on his tongue and he knew he would never get enough of this making him wonder if she would continue letting him eat her out as a human. ‘Don’t stop! Never Fucking Stop! Oh God!’ He buried his long tongue into her hole as far as he could, his cold nose nudging against her clit and making her hips jump hard before he flinched back, watching her body go rigid as she came, squirting a bit onto the blanket covered bed. ‘Fuck, I’m sorry-‘ she was startled as he cut her off with a growl, not liking the idea of an apology for something so perfect and sexy before he licked at her pussy again, tasting her even stronger than before. ‘Okay, too much...Come here and snuggle.’ She instructed, pulling a fluffy blanket over her half covered body before stripping off the top layer and just laying there naked. With that he nuzzled back into her arms, feeling her hold onto his fur.

Y/n spent the rest of the night snuggled up against him asking every yes or no question she could think of since he couldn’t really answer her, she asked all she could about werewolves and him and his family but never once did she say anything about how she feels about any of it…or him.

Klaus left at the same time as last time, her scratching his ears and yawning a ‘goodbye’ before watching him run off and as soon as he got home and shifted back he jumped into the shower, getting ready for school and completely forgoing any kind of sleep. He ran passed his father who was taking a nap on the couch and made his way to school a bit too early, waiting for Y/n to get there, texting her repeatedly but not getting an answer.

The longer he waited the more sick he felt, she was always at school no matter how much she had slept…and she always answered him…

He felt like he was being a bit stupid for being so worried but he couldn’t help it. He had never told anyone his secret before, not even his family, and now that she knows the only thing he can seem to picture is her telling him that she can’t see him anymore, that she’s afraid of him, that he’s a monster and she regrets ever letting him touch her…he needs to see her.

He never walked into the school as she never arrived, running back through the woods all the way to her house and trying to peek into her room only to find the blinds shut. Klaus knew he shouldn’t just walk in but he needs to see her, the near constant growl in the back of his head now controlling his actions. His wolf had never controlled his human body before but it feels as if he is when he can’t stop his legs from taking him to her doorstep or his fingers from reaching for the handle. He opened her door to see it was unlocked which was odd and he immediately thought she must be in the house or gone but when he peeked in he saw her asleep in her bed, clearly unconscious. ‘Y/n? Princess?’

‘Mmhmmm…’ she hummed and he smiled. ‘Finally…come snuggle me.’ She held her arms out tiredly, moving over and making room for him to crawl in where he had been snuggled up an hour before. He locked her door, dropping his bag and stripping to his boxers before he climbed in. ‘Why didn’t you come when I texted?’ She asked, clearly still half asleep.

‘You didn’t text me Princess, I’ve been texting you.’ He picked up her phone and opened it to see a message typed out.

Just come back when you can and skip with me, too tired to go to school.

‘Y/n, you never sent it.’ He chuckled and she giggled, snuggling into his warm chest and pulling the blankets around him more. ‘Y/n?’ He questioned and she grunted. ‘You’re not afraid of me, are you?’ Her eyes flew open and she moved to look down at him with an aggravated look on her face.

‘Seriously? You think I would have let you in here, and let you stay the whole night talking to you if I was scared? Invited you back?’ He shook his head and she leaned down, nose to nose with him. ‘You think I would have touched your cute little cock if I was afraid?’ His eyes widened and he growled playfully, pulling her against him tightly and pressing his lips to hers.

‘Thank you…I just needed to hear you say it.’ He admitted. Klaus had never been vulnerable with anyone but with Y/n it was easy…it was comfortable. She felt safe to him, as safe as he felt to her.

‘I love you Nik. And I would never tell anyone if that’s your next worry.’ He shook his head.

‘It wasn’t. I trust you.’

‘Good. Now go to sleep wolf boy. I’ll ask the rest of my questions later.’

‘Good. By then it will be time for you to meet my family.’

Please let me know your thoughts on this one. I’m very set on doing a part 2 cause even I want to know what happens next🤣

47 - Vampire Friends

Part 48

Family is More than Blood

@secretdreamlandmentality

Missy’s pov

Walking through the hallway of Mystic high standing beside my boyfriend’s locker waiting to leave when he got out of school for the day. Hearing footsteps and a familiar heartbeat rhythm that I would know anywhere coming towards me. “M & M, what are you doing here?”

“I wanted to see you, E. Hey, you okay?.” I admit pushing my body away from the lockers and he smiled seeing me wearing one of his sweatshirts that he had left in my room back at the mansion.

He shifted from foot to foot telling me he was nervous when he wouldn’t look me in the eye. “Uh yeah. Just got into a fight with one of my former teammates in class a minute ago.”

“What was the fight over?” I tilted my head to the side.

He shook his head avoiding my gaze still. “Please don’t think less of me because it was about…you.”

“Me. Why me?” I questioned him.

Ethan finally looked into my eyes. “You’re kidding right. You’re amazing and not just because you are a vampire and a witch.”

“Ethan…” I smiled at the human boy feeling my turn red at his words. I didn’t care if he was human and I was supernatural. That wasn’t what drew me to him, what drew me in was how nice he is to people.

He shoved his hands inside the pocket of his gray sweatshirt he wore. “Dennis was talking crap about you. He said you were a slut and the only reason I was with you was because your family is rich. Even though that’s not the case at all.”

“Hmm, I’m glad you stuck up for me.” I nodded in understanding.

He corrected me. “Andrea, Lizzie and your Uncle Klaus showed up too. Andrea probably would have thrown Dennis like a rag doll if they hadn’t got there sooner.”

“She does have the family werewolf temper that’s for sure. But she’s like every member of the Mikaelson and Lane family. Just doing what we can to look out for each other.” I sighed where we started heading to go get into his truck.

He walked closely beside me letting some silence fall upon us briefly. “So…have you given what I asked anyone thought after talking with your other Headmistress?”

“Ethan, I really don't want this to come up in every conversation we have now. We're already taking a big risk being together as is.” I sighed heavily, sending him a slight glare.

The boy gave me a confused glance. “What kind of risk? You already showed yourself that you can handle not feeding from me.”

“My parents are fine with us being together. But our former headmaster Alaric Saltzman is afraid that if humans and the supernatural date bad things could happen like he had seen before his daughters were born. If he saw us together like this he wouldn't be happy.”

“Missy, what are you doing here?” We paused in our tracks when I looked over my shoulder seeing Josie coming around the corner.

“Hanging out with my boyfriend. Why are you here?”

“I saw what happened on the football field. So I thought I should check on Ethan.” She answered.

Someone else could be heard where the three of us all saw MG coming towards us with Dr. Saltzman on his heels. “Jo, Missy. Andrea told me what happened.”

“Does everyone need to know about our personal lives!” Throwing my hands up away from my sides the veins were appearing underneath my eyes out of frustration.

Dr. Saltzman came over to me and Ethan. “Melissa, do you want to explain to me why you’re clearly dating a human?”

“Uh sir…it’s because I know that she’s supernatural.” Ethan stepped forward looking at the former headmaster of our school.

Alaric moved his gaze from all the teenagers around him. “Find an empty classroom now. We need to talk all of us.” He instructed pushing us into the nearest room and locking the door.

“Dr. Saltzman, we shouldn’t have to compel him.” MG first started the conversation.

Dr. Saltzman answered him. “It's about what's best for Ethan.”

“Is it? Or is it more like keeping our secrets safe at his expense?” He made a face.

Josie replied. “Burdening Ethan with it won't end well, either. Dad's right. We can't risk it.”

“No offense, Jo, but what are you really worried about risking?” MG asked.

“Do I get a vote?” Ethan spoke to sitting on the couch with me.

Alaric looks in our direction. “Well, this isn't a democracy. But we can hear what you have to say.”

“I think it's really cool that MG has superpowers, because I already know about Missy so it's not that different.” My boyfriend began explaining by taking my hand in his. “She told me everything about the school and her family so I understand why you'd want to keep that a secret. And I'm happy to keep it.”

Alaric nodded. “Yes, I believe you. But I made your mother a promise that I'd look after you and keep you safe. MG? Please compel him. That's my decision.”

“Compel me to do what?” Ethan got to his feet when MG came closer to him.

MG grabbed his shoulder with me just sitting there hands clasped together in my lap. “There's no reason to be scared. You had a bad day. You got cut from the football team and you're mad about it, so you went home after gym class. But you're gonna wake up tomorrow feeling better. And you're gonna find what makes you happy that's not football, then go after it. But you're not going to remember this conversation or anything that happened with us today or what happened between you and Missy.”

Ethan paused for a second before answering. “I feel better already. I don't remember a thing.”

“So you don't remember the thing you're not supposed to remember?” Josie made a face.

MG glanced at Alaric then to me. “Is there any possibility that you told his mom about vervain?”

“Son of a bitch….Melissa why are you smirking?” Alaric noticed my current expression that crossed my face.

I had a huge smirk on my lips like I had seen my father have growing up when his enemies thought they could beat him. “Because I blocked your compulsion. You see I only compelled him once as my own way of protecting him.”

“You’re talking about how I can remember your family of supernaturals and the school everytime I see you.” Ethan put the piece together

Lowering my gaze to the tile floor I prayed for his response. “Please don’t be angry with me, E.”

“I get it, M & M. I get why you were afraid of me being in danger.” My boyfriend made a half smile cross my lips.

“Missy will undo the compulsion she did on him. Then you and MG can try having that, uh, conversation again. If something different than that happens, give me a call.” Alairc and Josie left the room needing to talk.

MG turned on his feet talking to me. “Missy, I don’t want you to compel him but you heard Dr. Saltzman.”

“He’s not my father! He’s also not the headmaster anymore. My parents are so ask them, Milton.” I snapped at the vampire, he thinks he can talk me into this but he should know better than to challenge a Mikaelson.

MG gave me a look wishing my answer was different. “Huh then this is going to take some more time then Dr. Saltzman wants.” He slumped his shoulders moving over towards the couch.

Ethan leaned against the window, arms crossed over his chest. “I guess we got time to kill. Might as well tell me your origin story.”

MG disagreed. “Uh, I don't think that's a good idea.”

“Why not? You're just gonna wipe my memory anyway, right? Kind of like how Zatanna mind-wiped Batman.” Ethan shrugged his shoulders

MG saw a grin cross my face when he asked him. “In Identity Crisis issue number six. Hold on, hold on. How'd you know?”

“All right, look, I would never admit this to anyone, but...I've loved comic books since I was a kid.” Ethan chuckled and MG joined him with my phone vibrating showing a text from my father probably asking where I was. “You're a vampire too.”

MG was now sitting on the couch. “Now, it's nowhere near as dope as getting bitten by some radioactive bat or anything, but, uh, yeah, it's the truth.”

“It's still cool as hell. Super strength? Super speed? The blood thing is a bit of a bummer, but the only bad part was your mom and dad not accepting you for what you are.” Ethan grinned lowering his smile when he thought about how it was different than my situation.

MG stopped chuckling. “Yeah. That part was, uh, definitely rough.”

“My story's the opposite. My mom's done everything she can to support me, even letting me stay here in Mystic Falls to let me make the most of what I got. Which isn't much, compared to you. But that's why getting cut hurts so much, 'cause I don't know how to tell her. Or who I am without football. Wait, can you compel that into me?” Ethan sighed heavily confiding in me and MG the stress in his human life.

MG leaned back on the couch. “Uh...Yeah. But, um, I'd rather help you figure that out on the other side.”

“Well, I'm curious about your next move.” Ethan said knowing I wouldn’t compel the truth from him. “You can say that you're not a superhero, but that's a load of crap. If there's one thing guys like us know, with great power comes great responsibility. So how are you gonna use those powers for good?

My phone vibrates in my pocket where I put it to my ear standing away in the corner from the two boys hearing my father’s voice. “Melissa, finally I thought we agreed no ignoring my text messages.”

“Sorry, dad. There’s some stuff going on with Ethan. What’s wrong?” I asked him.

My father responded before he hung up the phone. “Your mother is running off somewhere and I’m going to follow her. I’ll be back in a few days.”

“Hey guys so if we are keeping this whole friendship/ relationship a secret we should probably get out of here. How about we go toss the old pigskin around?” Clasping my hands together I went back to the guys who ended their conversation. MG nodded and Ethan had a huge grin on his face.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

[livlepretre]

yYou updated at the perfect time for me. I’m on the last day of my vacation, so I’m tanning on the mediterranean beach, sipping sangria and devouring every single word of this chapter - what a sweet way end to my holiday!

The last update gave me such a sad feeling for elena, even though you said she is actually happy. Now that she's decided to ignore Stefan and not allow him to impact her, to take charge of her relationship with Bex and get a sense of control over their relationship (I LOVE that Rebekah lets her, I think she can tell that she needs it), and, of course, to form a new bond with Kol, I can truly feel her happiness. My jaw was on the floor when she confided in Kol about her feelings about the daggering. She hadn't even discussed it with Rebecca to this degree, so I can only imagine how relieved she must feel now that she's spoken up and that Kol has genuinely understood and offered unspoken support.

Of couse my favorite thing about this chapter is Klaus’s misery which is bringing him closer and closer to his breaking point. Him yearning for her, regretting his past decisions and being in pain always puts a smile on my face. My favorite scene by far was him having to sit next to her while she was genuinely enjoying her time and he was just NOT.

I havent seen this mentioned in any comment: I feel like Stefan is actually going off the rails, like what the actual fuck???? was it him alone that killed that entire club?

My theory is that Kol is there to find a way to kill Klaus, as that was his agenda 100 years ago which got him daggered (what else would he be doing in nola anyways??). Rebekah is helping him because she knows she can’t actually be free from Klaus and can’t freely pursue her relationship with Elena (she wants to turn her but klaus is so against it and I feel like Rebekah secretly chooses Elena over Klaus. She chose Stefan over Klaus back in the days in Chicago. OMG maybe that’s what she means by the nostalgia of a farewell???)

Fuck this was such a great chapter I will definitely write more about it once i sober up and reread it lol

Also I wanted to ask you, do you prefer getting comments/asks here on tumblr or on ao3? I will adapt to your preference for future chapters😁

PS im getting progressively drunker as I’m writing this so it might not even make sense fuck me I hope you got the gist of what im rambling about💕😘

ugh, tanning on the Mediterranean beach, YOU ARE TRULY LIVING

going to admit that I was shrieking my way through this comment, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this chapter with me 💖

I think Elena needed to just draw some boundaries-- she's done it with Stefan, she's done it with Rebekah, and she's even managed it with Klaus (which: that is HARD work)

I think she was probably able to talk to Kol a little better because they're sort of intimate strangers-- they have the same people in common, she has read and admired his work-- but she doesn't really know him, and so there's no baggage there-- no fear of rejection, really, or of being honest-- because really, what are the stakes? and he catches her at just the right moment, in just the right mood, to want to share that with him

SUCH a great point though, that these are feelings that she has kept so closely locked up inside of herself that she doesn't share them with anyone-- and maybe she managed to share them better with Kol BECAUSE he would have used the gold dagger himself-- because he had that same capability to slay Klaus, someone he loves (even if it's very complicated)

I realized while editing this chapter that it takes forever for Klaus to even have a speaking line, but BOY does that silent smothering agony during the play speak volumes about his state

oh, our boy Stefan is going as far off the rails as it is possible to go

I think actually Elena was the last thing keeping him going and now that she's decided she's done, he's gone, he's speeding downhill on fire and just gathering speed, and there is no one at all who is going to stop his fall. it's actually terrible timing for him that Kol is here now, because Kol is just going to find things to add fuel to the fire and enjoy warming his hands by it-- being an Original, I think Kol is a bit more impervious to the downsides of being a ripper (ummm insanity? but I guess all of the Originals suffer from this anyway?)

As for the club, Rebekah and Klaus ended up killing some folks, but only Stefan was feasting; I think Rebekah and Klaus were doing damage control

Fascinated by your theory as to what Kol is doing here, and just, everything you said. I will neither confirm nor deny-- but leave it to the upcoming chapters to reveal all! Absolutely SCREAMING though that you are still percolating over the nostalgia of a farewell line!

and I am thrilled to get any comments at all, ao3 vs tumblr is really up to you!

xoxo thank you so much for this comment!! hope the remainder of your vacation was GREAT!

Wow, damn, so that Umbrella Academy Season 4 ending huh?

That sure sucked.

Overall thoughts on the show in its entirety (asterisk I forgot a lot of it tbh)

Five and Klaus are the best characters overall. They're the most eccentric, off-the-wall, and fun to watch. Five consistently being the only competent person in the room is fun. Klaus I struggled with a bit at first due to changes to his character, but I think he was given the most room to grow and evolve. Weird the way they backpedal him so much in season 4.

Diego stopped being interesting after season 1- my favorite part of him was his attachment to Mom in the absence of a meaningful father-son relationship and his stutter, which feels like a character trait that went largely forgotten after that season. The "evolution" of his powers from being "I hold my breath real good" to "I manipulate the trajectory of objects in flight" is pretty interesting insofar as it being WAY easier to include in a television format than shoehorning in opportunities for him to demonstrate infinite O2. I liked his rivalry with Luther- I also didn't mind that he was a goofball behind closed doors but felt the need to act performatively machismo and compete with Luther in public.

Why'd they do my boy Luther like that? He's a completely different character. I honestly liked the plotline of him being this sorta tryhard golden boy that was then more or less abandoned on the moon with very little real purpose like a puppy that doesn't understand why it was kicked and then not knowing how to process the feelings surrounding that, but literally everything else about him was terrible. I dunno if they thought their idea was better, or if there were budget constraints, or if they just were too scared to straight up just put his head on an alien gorilla body thinking they had to make him more digestible or sexy or something, but in doing so they completely removed his appeal.

Allison feels like a consistently shitty and selfish person pretty much all throughout the show. I don't really care for her in general. I was happy to see them sorta bring back her sorta "detective arc" and I feel like changing her power from low-level reality warping to mind control was a fear response, especially considering that in the source material she's almost immediately hamstringed by having her throat cut, basically removing her ability to even use her power any longer. That de-powering, especially after having used it selfishly to build up her career and her entire life, was enough of a story for her, and then the rest of her plot should have just been accounting for and repairing the damage she had done over time. Instead it doesn't feel like she really grows- or at the very least she keeps backpedaling and having to learn the same lesson over and over again. The fourth season is so bad overall that when they finally do show her trying to live her life more honestly, it doesn't really mean anything. She's too busy feeling sorry for herself.

Why'd they do my boy Ben like that? I miss season 1 Ben.

Viktor (formerly Vanya) was not handled all that well after season 1 I don't think. I feel like I'd have to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 to really remember exactly how that went, but it feels like he's almost focused on too much in some cases- like he stops being a "problem" insofar as being a vehicle for the apocalypse, but is still kinda treated with this reverence that doesn't really suit him, like... I dunno, it feels like he's really important, and then immediately falls to the wayside, but EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE he steps forward and becomes The Main Character, like they're never willing to just fully tie off his own personal story. IDK it's weird.

So much about the show is just terrible honestly. Season three was bad, four was worse, one was good, two was fine.

I'll prolly put the first two seasons on as background noise while I draw or something and revisit this again later.

P.S. the whole "marigolds" thing was stupid. They didn't need an origin story. Also pretty much everything Umbrella Academy wants to do by being a weird broken family in a weird universe, Doom Patrol does better and with way fewer reservations about BEING weird.
