Our little game pt. 3

~Part 1~ ~Part 2~ ~Part 4~ ~Part 5~

Pairing: Klaus Mikaelson x witch! reader Summary: Thomas has been trying to mend your relationship all weeks leading up to the wedding. You must admit that he was a true, sweet gentleman, but… something was wrong. You didn't feel those butterflies (or moles as Kol used to say) in your stomach when you were close to him. You thought that maybe after bachelorette party and wedding you two would again get along with eachother and everyting will be fine. But drunk you had a completely different idea to solve this situation. Warning(s): smut mention, swearings, I used the thread from "Friends", I don't regret anything (I guess) Word count: 4,6k

*Two months later*

"I can't believe it has gone by so quickly, I feel like I just arrived in New Orleans." I said to the girls while we were putting on our dresses for the party.

"Yes. Me too. I feel like Elijah proposed to me yesterday, and now the four of us are going to my bachelorette party."

"Actually five. I invited Cami." Rebekah corrected Kath while fixing her makeup.

"Since when have you exactly been friends with Klaus' therapist?" I asked, not believing for a moment in her good intentions toward the bartender.

"Since she's trying to talk you out of the ridiculous idea of getting back with your ex."

"Hey! We all agree that we're not going to discuss that topic. Today is about Katherine. Only her."

"Take it easy, Y/N. We're just worried about you."

"There's no need, Katherine. I can take care of myself. Also, I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do with this mess around me. It's enough that the Mystic Falls gang put me on their blacklist a week ago. I don't need more complications."

Yes. Officially, Damon Salvatore has become my enemy because I refuse to help him bring Elena back from her "sleeping beauty state." At least Bonnie stayed my friend.

"Well, I saw both of you in that new restaurant. You two seemed quite enjoyable with your company." Rebekah snapped me out of my thoughts.

The original vampire spent the whole two months trying to force me to set up with her brother. It was getting pretty tiring to the point that I decided to avoid Klaus like the plague and not give the blonde a chance to put her plans into action. I loved her with all my heart, but I will not allow anyone to meddle in my affairs and try to set me on a particular path. Not even one of my best friends.

"Yeah, like one meeting was a declaration of true, unconditional love." I replied sarcastically, turning my attention back to my reflection in the mirror. I started putting on my makeup, being careful not to accidentally gouge my eye out with mascara. "Thomas and I spent half life with ourselves. It's obvious that we're feeling good together when we know each other better than anyone else."

"That's what we're all trying to tell you!" the woman snatched the mascara from my hand and turned to look at me in the eyes. "You don't love him anymore! He is like an old, favorite movie; you watch it because you have a soft spot for it, not because it brings you new, amazing emotions. You got used to having him around. And you're afraid that my brother will destroy your idea of loving Thomas. Even if it's obvious to everyone that you don't have any feelings for him. You fell for Nik, finally admit it to yourself!" she burst out, reproaching me again.

"Rebekah, enough. You're crossing the line." Freya stepped between us, wanting to reassure her little sister and trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"You want me to finally make a decision? Fine. Right after the wedding, I'm going back to Thomas. You don't have to wish me luck. I already know I'll be very happy with him." I replied, staring furiously at the blonde over Freya's shoulder.

"You have to be joking?! Seriously? Are you doing it just to spite me?"

"I'll meet you all downstairs. I promised to call Tom before we went out all night." I said, ignoring Rebekah's angry look at me.

I left the room quickly before any of the vampires (or the witch) could stop me, heading for the only place I could get some privacy.

Klaus' art studio.

The guys had already left the mansion an hour ago, teasing Katherine that they would make one last effort to find someone better for Elijah before she "ringed him with a golden muzzle," so I was sure no one would find me there. Who would have guessed I was hiding in the "cave" of a big bad wolf?

I was walking in a dark room, lit only by the moonlight. I took my phone out of my dress pocket and dialed Tom's number. I put the device to my ear, staring at the unfinished painting on the easel. Klaus must have been pretty pissed while painting it. I hadn't even seen so much intense red when the hybrid returned covered in blood from one of his "preventive missions."

"Y/N?" Thomas's voice snapped me out of my thoughts about the original.

"Hi." I replied with a little smile, sitting on the piano opposite the easel. Klaus went all out designing his studio.

"Hello, honey. Are you going out with the girls?"

"Yes. So don't bother calling; I won't answer, and even if I do, I doubt I'll be in a good condition." I replied jokingly, smiling wider as I heard his laugh.

"Ha ha. You know what they say: You are the truest version of yourself after alcohol."

"Is this your way to tell me that you're waiting on a drunken love confession from me? It isn't quite romantic, don't you think?"

"I don't care about it as long as it's true." I smiled. I wanted to respond to his taunt, but I froze in place as I saw someone's all-too-familiar blue eyes in the darkness of the studio. As our gazes met, he went out from the shadow and stood right in front of me. "Y/N? Can you hear me?"

"I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow, Tommy." Klaus wrinkled his nose at the "cute" diminutive.

"Have a good time, honey. Don't drink too much or I'll have to pick you up." before I could answer, Klaus snatched the phone from my hand.

"You don't have to worry about her. She will be in my excellent care, Timon," he said maliciously before aggressively hanging up.

"Seriously? Don't you have a brother to drink up instead of messing with my boyfriend? By the way, his name isn't Timon."

"Your boyfriend?" he laughed incredulously, shaking his head. "Since when? If I remember correctly, he left you for like... two years ago?"

"So what? You're not better at all."

"Unlike him, I was interested in your fate, love."

"Sending your minions to follow my every move is stalking, not caring. And stop calling me that. It's disgusting." I said, turning towards the exit, but the hybrid blocked my way as usual. The look of displeasure on his face instantly made me feel much better.

"They didn't follow you... most of the time. I just wanted to make sure you're okay and you're not putting yourself in unnecessary danger for the sake of those imbeciles."

"Did you know that there is an ancient gadget called the telephone? You could have checked for yourself if I was alive."

"You changed your number." I blushed at my stupidity. He was right. Right after breaking up with Tom, my phone suffered minor damage due to my sudden emotions and relative lack of control over my magic. I just don't know why it hurt so much that he couldn't text me. It's not like I've been waiting for his call all these years... right?

"Well, we can't go back in time and change that anyway. There's no point in dwelling on it." I finally replied, looking away from him to hide my true feelings.

The man wouldn't let me get away from him so easily. His left hand went to my chin, forcing me to look again into his blue eyes, which gradually began to give way to his night-black pupils.

"So that's it? You want to go back to him as if nothing happened? Like I didn't send you a thousand bloody letters to beg you for a little piece of your attention like a desperate fool, that I am every single time you look at me!" he exploded.

His jaw was clenched in anger, and his other hand was clenched so tightly that it seemed to me that droplets of blood were dripping from it. But my stupid brain could only process one goddamn thing in this improbable situation.

"Letters? What letters?"

"Oh, don't play with me like this, love…" he tried to walk away from me, but I grabbed his arm before he made any step towards the exit.

"Klaus, what letters? I didn't get anything from you since you went." I asked, searching his face for any explanation.

"Don't lie to me. It's even beneath you." he replied contemptuously.

A red light went on in my head. The son of a bitch had no right to walk into my already messy life with his fucking shoes and accuse me of whatever shit he fancied. This is exactly what caused my agitation. Not the hostile look I couldn't take from him.

"Beneath me? How can you tell if something is in "my type" or not?! You don't even fucking know me!" his jaw tightened. In the next second, he pushed me into a wall and put his hands on both sides of my head. His eyes were enraged, mad, and... passionate.

"I know you better than myself. I spent months admiring you in the shadows until you decided that I was curious enough to be noticed by you. It took you a bloody year to warm up to me and to treat me like something more than a monster. And when we were apart… I've never missed anyone as much as I have missed you in the thousand years I've lived. You told me here months ago that you would be the one to burn me. You were too stubborn to admit our connection that much, that you, love, didn't notice I was already burned by you a long time ago."

"You're lying. You wouldn't even have come up with that stupid excuse if Thomas hadn't shown up. You want me to lose my chance at happiness, don't you? The moment I trust you, you'll stab me in the back for your own amusement."

"Is your beloved ex-boyfriend, as I would like to point out, clouding your mental clarity so much?"

"Maybe he's my ex, but unlike some people, he really cares about me, not my power."

"Did he? Because if I had a chance, which you gave him, I would never, ever leave you. Not even if I could rule all of this damn world."

"Please, it's impossible that you could truly love…" he cut me off, pulling my face closer to his lips to shut me up by kissing me.

I imagined that moment so many times in my head, but nothing conveyed the true feeling of his lips on mine.

I moaned as he bit my lips and opened a way into my mouth like that. His treacherous tongue slipped inside like a snake, catching mine in his snare.

The sounds of brushes and paints falling were my only warning before he grabbed me around the waist, set me down on the table, and made me his height to (surely) kiss me dead.

The moment one of his hands started wandering toward the zipper of my dress, making me shiver every time his fingers touched my exposed skin, was a time when the warnings of my mind shouted over the dark, hidden desire of my foolish heart.

*SLAP!*

My hand left a small red mark on his left cheek for a while before his vampire power healed it. He slowly turned his head towards me, with his own hand on the place I slapped him, shocked that I (a little, mortal witch) was that dumb-brave to do this.

I breathed heavily as I stared into his impenetrable oceanic iris.

"Don't..."

"Why?"

"Because I… you… we can't…" He leaned his head down toward mine so that our noses were touching. Our lips were disconcertingly close for me to express any logical thought that wasn't related to HIM.

"Y/N!! We're going to be late! Hurry up!" Katherine's voice made me jump out of the hybrid's embrace, scared of what might have happened in the art room if she hadn't interrupted us.

Before I left the room, he grabbed my hand and turned me to face him. I fell straight into his chest. His second hand grabbed around my waist, making sure I wouldn't go before he stopped talking.

"Have your fun, love. We'll continue this discussion when you return." he said as he tucked my hair behind my ear. 

"Y/N! What could possibly be taking so long?!"

"We have nothing to discuss." I growled, yanking myself out of his grip, and went out without even looking at him.

I need vodka or I'll completely lose my mind.

~•♤♤♤•~

"Ha ha, I can't believe it!" I was laughing so hard when Rebekah finished her story about Klaus and Elijah running from bees when they were humans.

"I swear to you, they came out of the river drenched as ducks, only to meet some "huge and terrifying wild beast" and roll in the mud to let him lose their scent. They screamed like little girls as he approached them and growled at them. Kol was bursting with laughter, but in the end our mother's old fur fell off him and he had to run away from them."

"All right! How do I look?" Katherine emerged from the dressing room, making an impressive turn in front of us to present her dress (not a particularly successful one, given how much alcohol we had consumed).

"I like it, but you look much better in your real wedding dress." Freya commented as she adjusted Cami's fake veil.

Yes. All five of us decided to put on white dresses and continue our evening dressed like this. I have no fucking idea how it happened.

"I know where we should go next!" Rebekah screamed, threw my legs off her and got off the couch. She ran over to Katherine, showing her something on her phone and whispering conspiratorially. I shrugged, grabbing a bottle of champagne.

Freya snatched the bottle from my hand, handing it to Cami. The barmaid drank the rest of its contents and sat down next to me. I put my head on her lap so she could comb my hair. I closed my eyes, feeling a little relaxed for the first time in weeks. The quiet whispers of the vampires in the background and the slow, calming movements of the blonde's hand were a wonderful sleep aid.

"Don't fall asleep, sleeping princess! We're going dancing." an enthusiastic Rebekah nudged me gently on the arm, trying to pull me out of my own world.

"Dancing? Where?" I asked, opening one eye to look unconvinced at the blonde.

"You will see. Come on, the night is still young, and we're not drunk enough." the vampire grabbed my arm and dragged me down the stairs to the waiting limousine.

The five of us drank chilled champagne from the limousine in seconds, continuing to talk nonsense until we were at the door of the club Rebekah wanted to take us to.

If I had seen its name better, maybe I would have realized that this is the same place the guys went to celebrate Elijah's bachelor party, and maybe what happened later that night wouldn't have happened at all.

But we all went inside and lost each other in a sea of other people.

I looked around the crowd until I saw a familiar face at the bar. Instantly, my heart warmed, and the unreasonable desire to approach him overcame the rational side of my brain. I ran towards him, doing my best not to step on the white dress. Without knowing why, the people around me immediately let me through, so I didn't have to push through them.

"Nikkie!" I screamed when I saw the hybrid. I made a few steps toward him, and I fell into his arms, tripping over my fake wedding dress. I could hear Kol chuckling in the background. "I've missed you, love."

"You know I can get you two married at any moment, brother? Just say a word."

Kol took his beer from the bar as I leaned dangerously close to him, threatening to accidentally spill the alcohol down my dress. Klaus held me closer to him so that I wouldn't wobble from side to side, checking to make sure my drunken walk towards them didn't injure me in the process.

"Shut up, Kol. She's drunk."

"Hey! I'm not drunk, but you're ridiculously hot when you're mad." I giggled as I cupped his face and kissed a crease between his eyebrows. "And so sweet when you're confused." I said, chuckling after he gave me an incredulous look.

"The offer is still valid." a vampire muttered under his breath, teasing his brother.

"For bloody hell, Kol, I'm not gonna marry her!" he growled at him. Suddenly, I felt very sad. Tears came to my eyes from nowhere.

"No? Why? You don't love me?" I asked, sobbing. His eyes immediately fell on my weeping form in pure panic. Nik gently pulled me to him and cupped my cheek, wiping away my tears with his thumb as he looked at me softly.

"Yes, Nikkie, don't you love her?" Kol interrupted our moment, much to Klaus' annoyance and anger.

"If you want to live to see tomorrow, get out of my sight. Now."

"Have fun together, Nikkie!"

He followed him with his eyes until he disappeared into the crowd of others. His eyes softened as he looked at my tear-stained face.

"Love, why are you crying?" he asked softly, wiping away my tears.

"Because you don't love me at all!" he sighed, hugging me tighter and kissing my head tenderly.

"Of course I love you." he whispered timidly into my hair.

"You do?" I moved away from him, placing my hands on his chest so that I could hold onto his body the whole time while looking into his eyes.

"It's impossible not to, love. Can we go home now?"

"No. Say it again."

"What?"

"That you love me."

"Y/N. You're drunk, just come with me and…" I cut him off by catching his stupid, beautiful lips in a kiss.

At first, he stayed there, shocked, not even making the slightest move. I got a little irritated after a while, so I cupped his face in my hands and pulled him closer, biting his lower lip until it bled. I moaned in a kiss, as I could feel his sweet, addictive blood on my tongue. Without knowing why, I felt "the alcohol mist" in which I found myself begin to slowly leave my body. In the next moment, that annoying man finally started to respond to my affection. His arms were all around me, reaching into every part of my body.

In an attempt to regain control, his lips began chasing mine. We fought with each other, giving all our hidden passion, anger, and frustration into that kiss. But it still wasn't enough for me. And he knew this.

"Don't be such an asshole and stop teasing." I groaned, breaking away from him for a moment.

"Never." he whispered against my lips, skillfully avoiding mine.

"For the love of God! Kiss me right or…" I moaned as he interrupted my threat by biting into the sensitive skin of my neck.

He was drinking from me.

Klaus. Fucking. Mikaelson. Was drinking from me.

And it felt amazing.

I gasped, pulling his hair with one hand and grabbing his muscular shoulder with the other. After a few minutes, he pulled away from my neck and kissed me again, this time complying with my request. During our demanding kiss, I felt a trickle of blood running down my neck to my chest. The wound closed in a matter of seconds.

I summoned my magic to teleport us to his room. More specifically, his bed. I started to rip off his shirt so as not to interrupt our kissing session. But hybrid has other plans.

He pulled away from my bruised, tingling lips and grabbed my hands just as I was about to get to the waistband of his pants.

"We need to stop, love."

"Why? I thought you wanted me."

"I do."

"Then shut up and kiss me."

"No. We can't. Not like that." he sighed as I started to bite and make hickeys on his neck. He grabbed my hair, pulling me closer.

"Don't act like you didn't dream of it. Like you don't wanna feel my hot, naked body on yours. Like you don't wanna drink from me while fucking me and leaving marks on all of me to make it clear to everyone that I'm yours." I whispered against the skin of his neck.

"Y/N. Stop." he growled, pushing me away from him when he felt my hand dangerously close to his pants' fly.

"Why? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't finally get this damn feeling out of our system!"

"That's not how it works and you well know that."

"God! Why do you always have to make things so hard for me?!" I started gathering my things, intending to leave the refusing-me hybrid.

"Where are you going?!"

"To Tom! Maybe he will be a man and fuck me, if you don't want." I found myself instantly in his strong embrace. He was breathing rapidly, his pupils so dilated that his blue irises were almost impossible to see. He desired me. If he wanted me too, then why didn't he use his chance?

"Be careful what you wish for, love."

"Let me go. I wasted enough time for you." I groaned as I tried to break free from his grip.

"You're not going anywhere."

"Why?" I asked, lifting my head in challenge.

"Because you're MINE. Mine to touch, mine to kiss, mine to fucked from your mind every single thing that isn't me. We belong to each other. And you hate it. So much so that you can't accept the feelings that are between us. This is why you gonna go back to my bed and sleep by my side so I can make sure you're not going to do something incredible stupid tonight."

"Don't act like a protective boyfirend, if you don't care about me." I choked out, taking advantage of the fact that he doesn't look me in the eye and instead places small kisses on my face.

"You stupid woman, don't you see how much I've already done for you just to keep you safe and happy?"

"You wanna make me happy? You wanna satisfy me? You wanna make sure I'm only yours? Then shut up and finally let it happen." I kissed him, pushing him on his back, so I could sit on him.

I started to strip myself, looking straight at him. His chest rose and fell at the speed of light, black pupils completely replacing his blue irises. I take a moment to appreciate his tattoo and kiss every flying bird.

"Lie that you love me." he said, after turning us so I was under him.

"It wouldn't be a lie." I thought as he kissed his way to my underwear.

"I know it's part of your game. Just... pretend for a moment you really feel something for me Y/N."

"It's not a game anymore. And since our first meeting, I have felt for you... everything."

"You win." he said, kissing me with all of his desire for me, and trying to get any response out of me.

"You win.'" I thought, letting myself get lost in the feeling of his skin on mine. "And I'm fucking terrified of it."

~•♤♤♤•~

Consciousness begins to slowly return to my battered, relaxed body. I sighed, snuggling into something warm and cozy beneath me. I put my head in a more comfortable position and took a breath of the amazing perfume.

Klaus' perfume.

I froze in place, afraid to make any move. After a few minutes, I finally decided to hesitantly open my eyes and lift my head slightly.

My fucking God.

I slept with Klaus Mikaelson.

With my brain overheating from the new information, I had the opportunity to take a closer look at the unconscious hybrid. He looked so... innocent when he slept. And carefree, even blissfully, judging by his gentle smile, which I could see despite the darkness in the room.

The disheveled hair on his head only made him even hotter. It was also helped by the fact that I was probably the perpetrator of his messy look.

I tried to slowly put myself out of his arms to get the phone, but Klaus instantly held me closer when he felt from his sleep my littlest move. I carefully placed my head back on his chest. I let myself hear his beating heart and smell his addictive perfume for the moment.

Curiously, I looked around his room, enjoying as much as I could of what little peace I had left before my partner woke up. For a moment, I could imagine that Klaus was my boyfriend, we led a dull, safe life together devoid of anything supernatural. Hope lives with Hayley for a week, with us for the second, his family comes over once a month for dinner together. And above all, no one wants to kill us, we have no enemies from whom we must defend our loved ones. Maybe we'd even get married and have children of our own?

Married.

Wedding.

"OH MY GOD! Klaus! Hey. Nik. We have to get up, or we'll be late for the wedding! Oh, come on! You can't sleep that hard! Niklaus!" I screamed. I tried to pull his arm to wake him up, but his eyes were still closed. "If you don't wake up, I'll smear your room with all those expensive paints you have."

"Shh, five more minutes, love." he mumbled, turning on his side and pinning me to his bed with his arm. He pulled me closer, burying his nose in my hair.

"Katherine is going to kill me if we miss her wedding." I said in panic, unknowingly brushing his hair with my fingers.

"I won't let her do this." he tightened his grip on me, still in his semi-conscious state. "You might as well not mention her name in my bed."

"Klaus, I'm serious. Move. We have to get together."

"Vile woman, have you no pity on me?"

"Not even a little. Now get off me, you're heavy." I moaned under him, trying to move his body.

"I have a better idea of how to spend the day than being at my brother's wedding with the devil. I think you'll like it too. Last night, you did. Very much, considering the moans of my name coming out of your beautiful, alluring mouth."

"Yeah… talking about last night. It doesn't change anything, right? I mean… we're… we not…"

I stopped as he placed his head close to mine so he could lick up the dried blood from my neck. This man would be my death.

"Penny for your TRUE toughts?" he whispered against my neck, pulling away from it to look into my eyes.

"I just..."

"Yhm?" he leaned closer to my lips, but before he could kiss me, I pushed him off me and off the bed, sending him crashing to the floor. I took the opportunity to wrap myself in his duvet, running into the hybrid's bathroom before he recovered from my unexpected move.

"Dress up. We have to be there in 10 minutes. Don't forget the wedding rings!" I screamed, knowing full well that he would hear me through the closed door even if I was whispering. I listened for a moment, standing perfectly still, until I heard his grumpy mumbling and footsteps walking away.

With a sigh, I leaned against the door, sliding myself down to the floor. Memories of last night started to slowly come back to my mind, including his half-drunk "I love you."

What the hell have I done?

Title: Whole New World (Chapter 14) Author: moniquee | @taemoniquee Posted: October 20, 2024 Chapters: 14/? | Words: 14,487/89,975

Summary: Elena, Hayley, Elijah, and Klaus learn how Elena became a Heretic, and they learn the true meanings behind Qetsiyah’s and Esther’s actions.

[crimsonlyinglilly]

Future in the hades and Persephone au:

Klaus: "ELIJAH YOUR WIFE LET THIS ASSHOLE COME BACK!!"

Damon: "Fuck you too, Niklaus. Elijah, the Queen of all Evil would like you to know that she would like you to bring a new coffee maker next fall...and chocolate. Lots of chocolate."

Elijah: *deep sigh of despair.* "My Katerina, Why...."

Oh yeah you may be seeing that sooner. Katherine has no reason to keep the order of balance, its a bit of a mess since her absence and the invention of vampires and while Persephone isn't awake she needs pawns in the living world, best way is to convince them, is show to them what she can do. Mystic falls is going to get an influx of returning faces, so will New Orleans.

Elijah is going to be less concerned about the Order when he first returns however due to vampires already messing with the Order of things and missing daughters.(one exception)

Sneak peek -

"Katerina, Why?" Elijah sighed as two familiar faces stepped though the doorway he had created to return to the afterlife after months of waiting.

Finn and Sage greeted him with slight bows of their head but Finn was staring in a way he knew he was going to have to deal with at some point.

Freya wasted no time in hugging their retuned brother which quickly removed the look and reminded Elijah that now he could escape it thanks to the one that had always mattered to Finn first.

"Why not?" his Katarina asked, arm offered to him the other side of the veil, "I thought they could suitable occupy you family while I get to have my wife back."

"We've talked about this." he reminded her as he pulled his feet from his mother's vines that had wrapped around him, she was never pleased to let him leave.

"I have not released them simply for a song, I have a use for them." she replied, and Elijah steeped thought the veil between worlds leaving his family behind "besides my Elijah, my wife, my love, doing this makes no different in the sate that has become of Order in our absence."

Elijah rest one hand of the offered arm and moved his other to cup her cheek, and staring into dark eyes smiled as her words vanished, she reached out, one hand moving to tread though his hair.

"My love." he breathed and leaned in for the kiss he had been thinking about since he saw her on the other side of the veil months ago on the night of his death.

Hope you liked it.

Kalijah Sneak Peek!

These are some excerpts from an upcoming chapter in my Kalijah fic Redamacy! I'm posting this for my greatest source of Kalijah inspiration @umaficwriter since without their edits, I never would've been able to write a halfway decent story for these two.

Link to the fic(pls ignore how bad chapter 3 is😭) https://archiveofourown.org/works/53393533

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katerina crossed her arms with a scowl. “Well I'm so glad that they've finally deemed me worthy of tolerance, but that doesn't mean I'm eager to play house. Honestly, Elijah, did you expect us all to become one big happy family?”

Realistically, no, but as always, he had foolishly, idiotically, hoped that somehow it would all come together in the end and he could have it all. Truly, he was a selfish creature.

Reading the truth in his eyes, Katerina's face softened, and she stepped closer to him again, smoothing the creases in his brow and soothing him with her touch.

Her tone was gentler, but no less honest when she spoke again. “I could deal with Rebekah, but Klaus took everything from me. I won't plot against him, but I'll always hate him. It's not fair of you to ask otherwise.”

Elijah sighed. Of course, she was right, and he knew that. He would never expect so much from her. It was just that he wished so much for better, perfect circumstances, but theirs was a world far from perfect.

He leant his forehead against hers, lightly brushing their noses until she smiled. “I understand, Любов моя. It was never my intention to suggest such a thing. I just don't want to be apart from you.”

“So don't be,” she whispered against his lips, the move so enticing he had to kiss her.

After a moment, he pulled away enough that he could see her. She was still smiling slightly, and it brightened his mood.

“Go with your siblings to New Orleans, take care of your family, and once everything is settled, give me a call. We'll go back to Willoughby, or we can pick somewhere new. Doesn't matter.”

He stared into her eyes, searching them desperately for signs of deceit. “You would wait? While I was gone, you would wait for my return?”

Katerina placed a hand on his face, tenderly stroking his cheekbone. “I love you, Elijah. I'll love you while you're gone, and I'll love you even more if you come back.”

Elijah pulled her into a deep kiss, wrapping an arm around her waist to press her as close as possible and attempting to pour his devotion into her through touch alone. He only separated from a breathless Katerina just enough to speak a promise against her lips.

“I will always come back to you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I made them a promise that I would stand by their side and protect her and the child. Niklaus is playing a dangerous game. One misstep and everything will be lost. I cannot let that happen. They need me.”

Katerina pulled her hand from his grip. “And what about your promise to me? What about us? What about you? What do you want, Elijah?”

His own eyes were tearing up as he looked at her helplessly. “You know I want nothing more than to be with you. I love you.”

She squeezed her eyes closed like she couldn't bear to look at him, her lips, normally so full of color, were pressed so tightly together they were white. He knew she was struggling to maintain her composure, and he could do nothing but watch.

When she opened her eyes, they were resigned. The look on her face was similar to when Kol had said he could no longer help her. It was disappointed acceptance, the heartbreaking stare of someone failed far too often. He was sure nothing alive had ever felt as wretched inside as he did while meeting that stare.

“I know. That's what's so sad, Elijah. You love me, just not enough.”

“I-”

“You are devoted to a fault. You've given yourself entirely to your family, and there's no room for anything else. That's not how I want to be loved. I won't spend forever coming second to Klaus.”

Like always, she unapologetically forced him to stare his greatest flaws in the face, made him study them in great detail until he had a new understanding of some fundamental truth of himself. However, this time, knowing wasn't enough to make a difference. He wanted to say he would change, that he would leave Niklaus to live his life however he chose and put his love for Katerina first the way she deserved, but he couldn't make that promise. He couldn't fully let her go either.

“Forever is a long time, my Katerina. I may not be able to give you what you deserve now, but I still intend to keep my vows. I will come back to you. It may take time, but even though I'm not by your side, I will never leave you.”

Katerina took a deep breath, blinking away gathering tears stubbornly. She linked her hand with his again.

“You do that, and I'll stand by what I said too.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His gaze swept over her body, drinking in every detail of her beloved form before settling on her fathomless eyes.

“I don't think I can say goodbye,” he choked out around the swell of despair in his throat.

Her face crumpled, and she breathed a watery sigh before stepping closer to him. She stroked over his brow with soft fingertips, looking at him with so much adoration and heartbreak.

“Close your eyes,” she whispered.

He did what she said without thought and felt the heavenly sensation of her plush lips against his. The kiss was soft, tender, a loving caress, and a promise of more. It lingered like a last kiss but held the hope of a first.

Elijah reached to touch her, wind an arm around her waist, and never let her go, but his hand cut through thin air. He opened his eyes, and she was gone, the press of her against his skin imprinting itself into the familiar places it once called home.

He blinked a tear from his eye, feeling it trail down his cheek as he stared at the empty space she just occupied and reacquainted himself with her ghost.

21 Guns (Kalijah)

*As I Lay Dying*

Do you know what’s worth fighting for

When it’s not worth dying for

Does it take your breath away

And you feel yourself suffocating

Does the pain weigh out the price

And you look for a place to hide

        It was a dismal night, as Katherine, having been bitten by a werewolf the night before, walked around town during the festival, weak and sweaty and hallucinating. She wasn’t in her right mind, as she stumbled through the crowd of partiers. She was dying from the bite, but knew that Klaus wouldn’t cure her unless he had a good reason to. That reason would most likely be Elijah.

*England 1492- Flashback/Hallucination*

Did someone break your heart inside

You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

You and I

When you’re at the end of the road

And you’ve lost all sense of control

And your thoughts have taken their toll

And your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

        It was a beautiful day, as Katerina ran through the woods with the moonstone, running from Elijah and some humans whom wanted her back to help Klaus break the curse. Klaus needed her to die in a ritual to break it though, and she’d rather not die.

        She tripped over a twig and fell to the ground, but was okay.

        “Katerina, it’s pointless to run! Klaus will find you wherever you are!” he said, loud enough for her human ears to hear.

*1492- Mikaelson Estate- Flashback/Hallucination*

Your Faith is on broken glass

And the hangover doesn’t last

Nothing is ever built to last

You’re in ruins

You’re in ruins

You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

You and I

        It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate, as Elijah and Katerina played chase.

        She stopped running and gave a laugh as she said, “You’re meant to catch me.”

        He smiled and said, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”

*Present*

Did you?

Did you try to live on your own

When you

When you blacked out the house and home

Did you?

Did you stand too close to the fire

Like a liar looking for forgiveness

Promise storm

When it’s time to live and let die

And you can’t get another try

Something inside this heart has died

        She lay on the ground, too weak to go anywhere now. She hoped that someone that didn’t want her to die would find and help her. She didn’t want to die, but she didn’t have any strength left to ask for help.

        She closed her eyes, tired and weak and burning up. She knew she’d been a bad person for centuries. She just hoped that someday she may be forgiven for that, whether she lived or not. She didn’t think that she would live though. She knew she was very close to joining the Other Side with all her deceased friends. She wanted so much for this pain to go away, though she would never admit to anyone but herself and Elijah how much pain she was in, or that she was in any pain at all.

You’re in ruins

You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

You and I

        Meanwhile, Elijah had found out that she had been bitten by a werewolf, so he was out looking for her.

        After an hour or two, he finally found her on her back on the ground, a ways away from the festival. He knew the way she looked, she didn’t have much time left.

        He blurred to her side.

        “Katerina.”

        He gently got to his feet with her in his arms and blurred towards home. He just hoped that she’d make it.

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

        Once home, he gently layed her down in his bed, before going downstairs to go and try to convince Klaus to cure her.

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

One, 21 guns

Lay down your arms

Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your arms

Into the sky

        As she lay there, she could feel the darkness closing in, but she didn’t fight it. She was too weak and in too much silent pain to fight against it. Besides, she figured that it was her time. Plus, to her, death would be kind. At least she wouldn’t be in anymore pain if she died.

        When she woke up an hour later, she saw that she was in Elijah’s bed and she was no longer dying, which meant that Elijah had found her and Klaus had actually cured her. She knew that without Elijah, he never would have cured her. He would have just let her die.

A Valentine's Surprise

A/N:  This is for all my loyal readers who have accompanied me for several years. Thank you for your support <3 Happy Valentine's Day 2023 <3

Pairing: Kalijah (Elijah Mikaelson x Katherine Pierce)

Word Count: 2,3k

Warnings: None

Status: Complete

Summary: It's Valentine's Day and while Katherine isn't a fan of cheesy expressions of love that only get made once a year, she is disappointed that Elijah seems to be more interested in his books.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Tick tock, tick, tock. The ticking of the old grandfather clock was - alongside the occasional sound of a page getting turned over - the only noise that filled the air in the otherwise awfully quiet room.

Katherine lounged on the divan and shot dagger gazes at the book currently placed in Elijah's lap. It looked old and boring and she couldn't fathom what made Elijah interested in it. Perhaps it was indeed the fact that it was old which fascinated Elijah. A doubtful taste, especially since he could have something much more interesting.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips and she threw her head back, audibly making her displeasure known. Unfortunately, her attempts seemed to remain unnoticed. Elijah's eyes were still glued to that damn book and without looking up from it, he even reached out for his cup of probably-already-cold tea to take a sip.

What was it that he had said? 'Katerina, I think a quiet afternoon would be nice. Perhaps you even want to join me in the pleasures of reading. I can recommend xy book.' – or something along the line.

At first, Katherine had thought that he was joking but to her great horror he really meant his words and now he was sitting there with that damn book in his lap which occupied his entire attention. Certainly not what she had expected today.

Surely – and Katherine wanted to put great importance on it – she is no one who expects cheesy things on Valentine's Day. Hell, she doesn't even want to be showered in flowers and balloons and stuffed animals (and whatever else gets gifted on these days). It appeared to be fake and if one isn't the romantic type of person the other 364 days of the year, one shouldn't bother to make a 180° turn on a day that's incredibly commercially exploited. 

Nonetheless, she had expected more than being literally completely ignored by Elijah.

Elijah, the man that shows his affection in and with the tiniest actions. The man who gives her a kiss on her forehead before she falls asleep and the man who often quickly pecks her cheek when he passes by her. But on the day that is literally known in the world as the most romantic day of the year, he chooses to ignore her, read, and even recommends she read a book herself.

It's unbelievable and makes her want to pout. What was exactly what she decided to do now. 

Again, it goes entirely unnoticed. Not even another dramatic sigh made him look up.

How is life so damn unfair?

Katherine pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes as she continued to eye Elijah. For once, he seemed to be entirely relaxed although highly focused on that treacherous book in his lap. A porcelain cup with tea stood on the table next to his armchair which made her wonder if it was finally empty or not. This book enchanted him so much that he even forgot the leave-water he had made himself after he told her he desired a quiet afternoon. He seemed content, which only made her own dissatisfaction worse.

Katherine decided she had enough of this awful state, so she finally got up from the divan and headed over to him. Her heels echoed on the wooden floor but Elijah only looked up at her when she (carefully) lifted the book up and placed herself on his lap instead so that her knees were left and right beside his legs and she was comfortably squatting on his lap. It was a little straitened on that armchair but she didn't care. Katherine could see a little sparkle in his eyes, but otherwise, he kept a straight face.

He did, however, take the book out of her hands and put it on the armrest so he can continue to read. At least he slipped his other arm around her waist and therefore kept her close to him.

Was that progress? Probably. Better than nothing, she supposed.

She put her arms around his neck and nuzzled her nose in the spot where his neck met his shoulder. 

The brunette kept quiet for a while, enjoying his proximity although she got more annoyed the more time passed and the more he turned yet another page in his book.

"Elijah", she mumbled against his neck which caused the hand that was lying flat on her back to draw small (and admittedly incredibly relaxing) circles on it. It was, however, still not the reaction she desired.

Instead, she now started to plant kisses along his neck and let her fingers slide through the hair on the nape of his neck. Surely that must ignite some kind of reaction.

"Elijah?", she mumbled again against his skin and this time, she got a reaction from him.

"Yes, Katerina?"

"Is this book more attracting than me?", she asked and finally lifted her head away from his neck so that she could face him.

Elijah raised his eyebrows and looked at her in amusement.

"Of course not."

"Then why do you keep ignoring me?"

"Who says I'm ignoring you?"

"Your lack of response?"

Her statement let him hum which in turn let his chest vibrate softly. "I enjoy your presence thoroughly, my darling Katerina. Is that what makes you so upset?"

"I'm not upset, Elijah", she retorted.

"The pout on your lips tells me otherwise," he stated and finally set the book from the armrest to the side table before he placed both hands on her hips.

"Well, I was thinking you'd want to go out. Have a nice lunch or dinner perhaps. But you're glued to that book." Now it was her turn to raise an eyebrow which quickly changed into a frown when she noticed him chuckling lowly. "What's so funny?", she asked in confusion.

"Well, I did ask you to join me in reading, didn't I?"

"You did. I still don't see the connection."

"But it appears you didn't follow my book recommendation?" he looked at her questioningly although he must know the answer. Of course, she hadn't followed his recommendation because she didn't intend on spending the day reading.

"Perhaps you should", he added after a while as he noticed her gaze darken.

After she made no movement to get up or even consider his words, he started to brush his hands up and down her hips, his expression softening. "Please, Katerina."

Katherine narrowed her eyes and couldn't possibly deny his request. Not when he asks her like that.

"Fine." She got up from her place on his lap as elegantly as possible. "What was the title again?"

"Poetry Of The Nymphs."

Right. She knew there was a reason she didn't start to read. Not only because she wanted to go out or at least do something with him - and by 'with him' she meant a joint activity and not separate reading. The last thing she wanted was to read poems that sounded like a magical fairytale. Or whatever its content was.

Her gaze now wandered to the four gigantic shelves full of books. They weren't put in there in a messy type of thing, no, they were all neatly lined up despite the big number of books. But how was she supposed to find one single book? She didn't even know what it looked like.

Seeking help, she turned to Elijah.

"No, Katerina, you were supposed to find it yourself."

"Elijah..."

She gave him a look that showed him that she wasn't in the mood for searching. Especially not after he still insisted on her getting that damn book.

Apparently, there was something in her gaze that made him sigh and get up. With a targeted grip, he reached into the upper half of the third shelf and pulled out a very old-looking book. Without commenting, he handed her the book and then stepped back a few steps.

He seemed like he was genuinely curious about her reaction to that book. Something she couldn't really comprehend because he cannot expect her to want to join a book club. But if he insisted...

Katherine's gaze landed on the leather cover of the quite heavy book. It had a dark red hue and still looked kinda new despite its age. She assumed it must have been in Elijah's possession for a long time or at least had a careful pre-owner. She couldn’t explain it otherwise.

Deciding it's best if she sits down and places the book on her lap due to its heaviness, Katherine returned to her previous location on the divan.

With another quick glance at Elijah, she opened the book. She had no idea where to start because it had a lot of sides and she certainly can't read all that in one sitting. To her great surprise, however, it seemed to want to open itself and showed her the right spot. Not because it was magic but mainly because she found a dry, pressed flower in it. It was a single, dark-purple carnation.

She carefully took the flower, that had previously hidden a poem in old, very swinging letters written underneath it, out of the page. It had a beautiful color and she wondered what it did in there. It certainly didn't belong to the book and it surely wasn't a bookmark. Did Elijah leave it in there?

Perhaps she had to focus on the poem on this page to find the answer. She figured it had something to do with it since she didn’t believe this was a random finding. It was a bit difficult to read but after a few seconds, she had it covered.

The poem was about a man who was deeply in love with a woman but who was too shy to ask the woman of his dreams out, afraid that his feelings weren't returned. So he decided to communicate with flowers. He deliberately avoided roses that would make his feelings too obvious, instead, he chose carnations. At first, he secretly brought a bouquet of white carnations to her which were associated with purity and luck. After he saw her accepting the white flowers, he continued to secretly give her more flowers. They became more and more colorful - or rather intense - after she accepted the last bouquet and had the same reaction as before. He brought her light red carnations after the white ones, that were associated with conveying admiration. Eventually, he brought her darker shaded carnations which expressed deeper sentiments of love and affection. When he secretly brought her a bouquet of dark purple and red carnations, he was discovered by her as she had waited for the secret admirer to show up.

Katherine had to turn the page to discover how the story ends. She found an ivory, small envelope between the next two sides but choose to ignore it for the time being, feeling like it was important to finish the poem first.

After the woman had unmasked her secret admirer, the man finally had the courage to declare his love. To his great relief, his feelings were returned and the woman declared that she too had admired him from afar. The poem ended with them starting a happy and loving relationship.

Katherine smiled but didn't dare to look up at Elijah. Somehow her own heart started to pound after she took the envelope that was waiting to be opened. She could tell that this envelope didn't belong to this old book and as she turned it around, she could see 'Katerina' being written in familiar, elegant handwriting on it.

"What's this?" she asked and finally looked up to discover that Elijah was still standing in the same spot as before and watching her with great interest.

"You have to open it to find out," was his simple reply and she could tell that there was a certain fondness in his expression.

Now her heart started to pound even more as she carefully opened the envelope.

In it was a simple but expensive unilateral ivory card. Its paper was thick and looked like it was for special occasions. She again discovered Elijah's elegant handwriting on it. It said:

'Dearest Katerina, it would be my greatest honor to let me take you out tonight. Until I receive your answer, I remain in hopeful anticipation. Yours forever Elijah'

Katherine's lips opened slightly because of how beautiful and thoughtful this was. It was beyond romantic and it made her speechless.

"Elijah...." she looked up to see him slowly stepping towards her, the fondness in his expression now more prominent than before.

"I do hope I shall receive your approval", he said softly and extended his hand to help her up and which she took.

"Of course you do, Elijah. I'd be more than happy to go out with you," she whispered and wrapped her arms around his neck before she leaned in to kiss him. As she expected (and hoped), Elijah returned the kiss, and let his hand rest on her cheek, his thumb brushing along her jawline.

"You make me a very happy man, Katerina." He whispered in return as soon as their lingering kiss ended.

"I guess there was a reason that you wanted me to read this afternoon," Katherine said with a soft giggle.

"I certainly hoped you would. Seems like my strategy didn't entirely work out."

Now she understood why he ignored her because he hoped she would give in and read to help with her boredom. And now she also understood why he initially didn't want to help her search the book. He wanted to build up tension. Some kind of game he knew she would usually enjoy.

"Thank you, Elijah. I enjoyed it and I believe I have never been asked out like this before. I won't ever forget it." And she meant every word she said. It meant a lot to her that he chose such a special way to ask her out.

"I love you, Katerina."

"And I love you."

Now, this day could only end up fantastic and memorable.

[lilacsandorangeblossoms]

I got this idea for a kalijah prompt. I don’t know I’m going to continue it or just leave it here but I have been thinking about it all night. So I thought I would share it with everyone.

Prompt: Katherine and Elena identical twins and 17 their parents died last year and they now live with their wealthy grandmother in palm beach Florida. Hayley is hired to be their latest tutor. She only lasts a day. Stefan is the new tutor. The girls are not thrilled by this new tutor. Katherine is dating 19 year old Elijah Mikaelson. Katherine and Elijah only see each other during the summer but this summer Elijah has been busy so they haven’t been able to see each other as much.

“Time to meet the girls.”

Hayley takes breath as she puts her hands on the double door handles and the girls bedroom. She looks so out of place in this home. This is sophisticated and up class and she’s in jeans very worn sneakers a tank top and a cropped jacket.

When the girls came to live with their grandmother last year they could of choose different rooms, they don’t like to be apart and especially not after what happened last year so they sleep in the same room.

“Alright time to wake up.”

Katherine wakes up startled and pulls out her stun gun doesn’t even lift her purple sleep mask and aims the stun gun at the noise. Hitting Hayley in the chest and she goes down. Elena pulled her red sleep mask up and sees Hayley shaking on the floor. “Kat I think your shot our new tutor.”

Katherine has laid back down in her bed full of purples and blacks “new or not she needs to learn one way or another.”

Elena can’t argue with that she pulls her mask back down and lays back down her bed is full of reds and pinks.

Xxx

A couple hours later Katherine and Elena come into the kitchen, Katherine is a blue wrap dress and a Elena is in pink shorts with a white tank top. They notice Hayley sitting at the table. “Oh your still here?”

“Katherine is sorry just everyone knows not to come into our room before noon. And you did look tired so knocking you out actually helped so in a way Katherine helped you.”

Hayley doesn’t even know what to say to that she looks up at the chef Sophie who just rolls her eyes and places a bowl of fruit in front of each girl.

“I was going over the reading list and you girls have to read a book before the school year which is next week. So what book did you choose.”

Katherine rolls her eyes as she pops a blueberry in her eyes. Elena replies to her “we didn’t choose a book it’s summer and we were busy.”

As Hayley is about to explain something they hear a car horn from outside and Katherine smiles and glances over at her sister. “Daddy’s here.”

Both girls laugh as they get up. Hayley looks back at the chef. “I thought their parents died.”

“They did that would be Katherine’s boyfriend Elijah.”

Katherine runs out to the motor court and standing next to his Lamborghini is 19 year old Elijah Mikaelson in a green v neck and a pair of jeans, Katherine jumps on him and wraps her arms around his neck her legs around his waist. He holds her tightly. “I missed you my Katerina.”

❤️🌟🙀

For the fanfiction ask game......

Ps long time no see stranger 💓😜

Hi!!!!!! Yes, I’ve been on prolonged hiatus cause life got very busy, but I’ve returned as my favorite period of the year (October - December) begins. I’m also obsessed with like four things right now so, why not rejoin Tumblr. 

❤️- The fanfiction that holds a special place in your heart

I mean, like, how do I narrow it down? I have more than 3K AO3 bookmarks. However two of my favorite are the Born to Rule series by TitansRule. Not only is this fic where I started shipping Kolvina, but it’s practically a perfect Originals rewrite. Also, on the Klaroline train because most Klaroline fan fictions hold a special place in my heart is Sanctuary in their Hearts by thatsanotherlovestory. It’s truly a perfect post TVD season 8 fanfiction with Klaroline, Kalijah, and Kelvin. Plus plenty of soft Klaus for my own amusement. Also, also, bonus points, She Deserves Better and the Domino Effect by CrazyGirl92. And, last, but not least, Metanoia by Haylee_BB, I absolutely adore this fic with my entire shoul. There are more most of your works and BelleMorte180′s works are perfection, and I have more thank 1,000 fan fictions bookmarked with notes saying how much I love them so I’ll stop gushing now. 

🌟- Your most popular fanfiction

My most popular fanfiction is The Unexpected Surprise. It has over 41,000 hits and is in desperate need of a spellcheck edit, but I have too many new ideas. Many of them KC, many of them House of the Dragon and Rings of Power, and honestly I’m considering writing fanfic again next month just as a relaxing break from all the work I’ve been doing on my original works. 

🙀- The fanfiction that would give your mom (or any parent figure) a heart attack if they read it

Honestly, if we’re talking things I’ve written Tribrid’s Plural is my most, shall we say, graphic in terms of violence. But if we’re talking things I’ve read, most of them, so I’ll pick out one of my favorites. Just Good Business by BelleMorte180. This fic is incredible and twisted and I adore it entirely.

[rockclimbinglover12107]

Rating TVD ships :

Stelena: 6/10. Paul and Nina had good chemistry and it was certainly the better option of the two main ships but I found them very vanilla and I take the stance that the brothers ruined Elena so I can’t bring myself to fully support it. Also, the retconning of this ship after season 4 always bugged me.

Delena: 1/10. Nothing about this toxic ship made sense and it was clearly done as fan service. Elena HATED Damon in the earlier seasons and it was clear her only loved her because of Katherine. Damon was clearly manipulative towards Elena, always controlling and undermining her, and I have already mentioned the fact that the Salvatore brothers traumatised Elena and ruined her life.

Steroline: 4/10. This ship had the sole purpose of giving two main characters an ending with another person. It was boring and they were obviously better as friends. However, they weren’t overly toxic or impactful so I didn’t mind them too much.

Bamon: 8/10. It was much better than Delena and their chemistry was good. Their time in the prison world was one of the only semi-interesting elements of the story after Katherine died . Bonnie deserved a dynamic love interest and she brouggt out the good in Damon, something that Elena did the opposite of. However, I don’t see the ship lasting as Bonnie is a very moral character and Damon is pretty much the opposite.

Klaroline: -100000/10. Everything about this ship sucked. His attraction and interest in Caroline made no sense and realistically she would be a brief fling at best. Her sleeping with the guy who essentially wanted to kill her best mate was shady and the fact that KATHERINE of all people had to call this out was honestly sad. Also some ( not all ) of their fans are so annoying, always complaining that they didn’t end up together and disregarding all of the pain that Klaus caused. Most TVD fanfiction revolves around either them or Dullena and this is really annoying to me, as someone who doesn’t ship them.

Forwood: 3/10. It’s better than Klaroline but it’s still toxic and both characters annoyed me when they were together. Caroline was better when paired with one of the other girls or Stefan ( as a friend ) and I thought that Tyler was always either boring or a horrible person.

Steferine: 5/10. Paul and Nina’s chemistry really shone with this pairing and they were interesting in season 2 but as time went on they became tiresome and Katherine’s obsession in season 5 was both annoying and completely out of character. I was much more interested in the Katherine / Caroline dynamic and also the Katherine / Elena dynamic than the Steferine one in this season.

Kalijah: -5/10. This man found a way to free her but chose not to use it and instead was going to allow her to die at the hands of Klaus. Then he got upset when she fled to stay alive and held it against her for years. Finally, when they had a fling in season 4, he broke up with her and betrayed her over killing ONE guy who was her enemy, conveniently ignoring the amount of innocent people that he and his family have killed. Everything about this ship, aside from the actor’s chemistry, sucked and the idea that he was loyal to her for 500 years is absolute bull.

That’s it for now, but I may do a part 2 with some non-canon ships or any canon ships that I haven’t covered yet.

the vampire diaries | elijah/katherine explicit, 5.1k Katherine begs Elijah to turn her back into a vampire while having sex.

[crimsonlyinglilly]

Klaus also ruined Elijah's chances with Katherine too, making it all about him. Like, yes Elijah was upset with Katherine about Jeremy but he still Asked Klaus for Katherine's freedom and for the chance to be with her, to love her and Klaus still denied him and said he would hunt Katherine down and kill her in front of Elijah.

Also, if you look at the timelines, Elijah is daggered and with Marcel when Klaus and Rebekah make their trip to Mystic Falls to mock Katherine at her deathbed. So even then, Klaus takes that away from Elijah. (Unintentionally this time, but we all know he would have kept it from him if he wasn't daggered as well.)

Klaus genuinely does not respect Elijah as a person, and you can see it in their interactions. Elijah respects him, but it's a one-way street. Elijah was only allowed to pursue Hayley because it was beneficial to Klaus. If it wasn't? Then he'd have put a violent end to it just like he did to all of Elijah's previous relationships. Katherine only escaped a violent death because she was smart, quick-witted, and cunning.

Yes but since the post was about Hayley I kept my thoughts about the mess that was the end of them all.

I'm going to use your ask to cover two things if you don't mind, the complicated tangle of co-dependency between of Elijah&Klaus, and why I don't think Elijah and Katherine would have worked at that point in time.

Just a disclaimer these are all my own opinions.

Elijah&Klaus are both as unhealthily attached as each other, and that can be blamed completely on Esther and Mikael, Elijah was born and grew up in the shadow of Freya's loss.

Klaus and the younger siblings were the only ones that didn't look at him and see where she should be. Klaus even as a baby was likely the first person to love him without a weight attached and Esther seemingly pushing looking after the younger one onto him didn't help.

Elijah never learnt to be a person on his own, he learn he could only be worthy of love if he proved himself, if he earned it, and from the start, it was earned by looking after his sibling something he never stopped.

And Klaus went from treasured golden child to failure in Mikael's eyes and just clung to Elijah more, the same way he likely saw Rebekah and Henrik as his to protect Elijah was his, Elijah saw his being unable to protect Klaus from Mikael, even though he he was a child, as failures he need to make up for.

After Henrik's death and becoming vampires Klaus clung tighter to Elijah and Rebekah.

I do disagree Klaus does respect Elijah as a person, if he wasn't a person of his Klaus wouldn't be as paranoid about Elijah leaving him as he is.

Elijah is Klaus' everything; what he looks up to, the one to catch him when he fails, to reinsure him, it's just over the centuries that's grown twisted so much that Klaus can't imagine Elijah not being there for him, can't allow it.

Even when he had the others daggered and in boxes, he left Elijah free. He never seems to leave him dagger for too long because he need Elijah there, he saw Katherine as a threat of losing that, a ghost of the first person to get between them, Tatia, and someone who had already taken something from him(500 years free of his curse) and so he was as spiteful as he could be to her and Elijah about her.

Your right about Hayley though and the fact Rebekah was aware Klaus was allowing Hayley and Elijah to be together to keep control over Elijah was kind of insulting for the one whose so vocal in getting her own freedom with Klaus.

Personality the best choice to show Klaus having grown to respect Elijah's choices with the choices the show had taken was if he had left Elijah alone with amnesia. Elijah was happy and free of Klaus and the weight their parents raised him with but he didn't he dragged Elijah back and refused to let him go until he remembered knowing it was basically killing him after Hayley's death.

But Klaus made no real attempt to stop Elijah's suicide and in the end Elijah never recovered his childhood conditioning and died with Klaus as Klaus always wanted in a way.

Elijah and Katherine, are a great pair of characters and a interesting ship but for me it would only work after Katherine has spend time, safe to unlearn the ruthlessness she'd needed to be. As Elijah says she allowed it to turn her into a version of the monster she fled and while he's never going to admit to the toxic abusive relationship he has with Klaus anymore then he would escape it, I think he's wise enough not to step from one into another.

On an unrelated note Elijah's sympathy for Elena, about Jeremy was overdone, since she and her friends had played a part in the death of two of his brothers, the same that he had been looking for, for decades, and been pushed to plot to kill Niklaus to avenged.

I think Elijah asked for her freedom from Klaus, to give them a chance, first for Katherine to recover some of who she was and then for them to build something, but Klaus would never of allowed it because he felt his ties on Elijah slipping away.

Katherine has spend 5 centuries running using everything she has to to survive and Elijah's far to used to letting himself be used, thanks to his childhood and his siblings for even longer than, he believes he can only be loved if he's useful. Even if Katherine didn't want to she would use him, it's second nature to her now and he's far to used to accepting that.

In 'Lost Gods' it works because Katherine's free of the ruthlessness she learnt because she knows she doesn't need it as a god, and Elijah's free of the conditioning he was raised to only view himself of worthy of love if he's useful.

and thank you for the timelines reminder it will be very useful for Grandfather Elijah, the only other of my fics that Katherine is a main part of.(Currently)
