I can’t really tell you how much I love this? Like I have a very real compulsion to start blurting out the lyrics of I Need More from the Cyrano musical soundtrack because I am feeling a lot of emotions rn.

I’m in a very angsty mood for fanfic today and this just fulfilled all my dark desires. Klaus (sort of) stalking Caroline because he wants to keep an eye on her? Possibly worried she’d come to harm? Break me. Rushing to her house when he hears her crying, believing she’s in danger? FUCKING RIP OUT MY HEART WHY DON’T YOU

And then everything that follows - Caroline absolutely wrecking him as she attacks him in a hysterical mess, leaving Klaus honestly so shocked because who in their right mind attacks him, and then the sobbing, and Klaus not knowing quite what to do, and Caroline actually feeling safe enough in his grasp to seek out comfort...

Thank you for destroying me so utterly this fine day, it was very enjoyable, and I think my heart is in shattered pieces on the floor, but I’ll gladly ask you to do it again because it’s sooooo good.

Now excuse me while I go scream into a pillow.

So I posted little excepts from some fics that I work on as a warm-up when I'm struggling with Red Queen. There's a time travel one and a serial killer one. Neither of them have titles (well the serial killer one has a really campy working title but that doesn't count).

Anyway I'm bored, so here's the first chapter of the serial killer one. Lemme know what y'all think.

Chapter 1: Villain

It wasn’t that he intended to stalk her.

Even Klaus knew how incredibly fake that sounded, but really, he didn’t keep tabs on where Caroline Forbes was and who she was with at all times—just, you know, when there was clear and present danger in Mystic Falls.

Which was practically always.

Whatever. Niklaus Mikaelson, hybrid king feared across the supernatural world for centuries, was not one to show chagrin at the accusation that he had merely stalked someone.

He really wasn’t watching her on this particular occasion, however; he was just out for a walk to clear his head in the night air after a particularly useless day of Jeremy Gilbert being Jeremy Gilbert, and her street wound and turned back on itself and basically made for a longer route than its neighbors. He hadn’t intended to listen in on the goings on inside the Forbes residence either, but when he noticed the Sheriff's squad car was missing but Caroline’s car was present and the lights were on, he smiled a little, and tuned his ears in, wondering if she was listening to music or watching TV or on the phone with Elena hearing the “team good-guy” perspective of Jeremy’s day.

What he did not expect—and what took him a moment to recognize because it was so unexpected—was uncontrolled, shattering sobs. He frowned, crossing the lawn in an instant to hear more accurately. A moment more told him that not only had he heard correctly the first time, but it was indeed Caroline sobbing, and it sounded like she was wailing in pain around something that had been shoved into her mouth.

Images of unknown attackers and Caroline with a gag in her mouth blossomed crimson across Klaus’s vision, and he was inside the house and standing in her bedroom doorway before the ragged, stifled cry had ended. However, a millisecond’s scan of the room with his eyes revealed her to be completely alone, curled up tightly on her bed and rocking back and forth in distress, her own hand clamped between her teeth. Her face was a mess of makeup rivulets and puffy eyes—she looked worse than when she’d run to him in Tyler’s body, believing him dead and her boyfriend about to follow, and that was easily the worst he’d ever seen her, including the time she’d nearly died of werewolf venom. 

“Caroline?” he found himself whispering, not sure what to do. Her head jerked up, and he barely had time to register the trickles of blood along her wrist from where she’d bitten through her own skin before she was on her feet, hands shoving him back. In his surprise, she caught him off balance, and he stumbled a little before regaining his footing.

“Get out!” she shrieked, her voice cracking painfully in the middle as she lashed out, punching him in the chest with about as much force as the average human who’d had too much to drink and was therefore unsteady to begin with. It didn’t hurt him, but he caught her fist when she drew her other hand back all the same. She screamed again—not words this time, just a primal shriek as she tried unsuccessfully to wrench her hand free, before successfully backhanding him across the face. He caught her second hand and sped her up against the wall, pinning her there as she struggled and tried to kick him.

“What the hell’s gotten into you?” he growled. Even in such a state, she ought to have had the sense not to physically attack an Original, especially a hybrid. Verbal barbs or slamming of doors he’d expect out of a distraught Caroline Forbes, or if she was going to attack him (for whatever blinkered reason) slightly more skill. Shifting forward, he leaned into her, holding her against the wall, impervious to her struggles. She thrashed in his hold, kicking at his legs and feet, but when he was about as responsive as stone, she gave up, and fell limp in his grasp, head down, face shrouded by her unkempt hair as crying became her primary focus again.

After waiting a few moments to ensure that she wasn’t faking it (only to whoosh away as soon as he loosened his grip) Klaus released her wrists, picking her up in the same instant. She fell limp against his chest, the last of her energy going into curling up into herself and pressing the heels of her hands into her watering eyes. For all her violent rejection moments before, now she seemed completely unconcerned about his proximity. 

As he moved to return her to her bedroom and deposit her in bed—he’d signed up for rescuing her from attackers, not this, and for all his age and experience he’d never yet figured an effective way to deal with this—he assumed she’d simply given up on getting him off her. But when he moved to set her down, he realized that one of her hands had fisted into his jacket, tightly enough that she was stretching the leather. Perhaps giving up wasn’t quite it, he thought, as he maneuvered them so that he could sit down, then leaned back against her pile of pillows so that they were reclining with her only halfway on top of him. He did know enough to guess that no matter what he said or did, she would be unable to give a coherent response in this state, but he could be patient. 

He’d wait her out.

And then she’d damn well tell him what was wrong, and point him towards who he could kill to make it right, whether she wanted to divulge or not.

The hysterics lasted nearly an hour, and after that, she seemed to lose energy, but continued quietly weeping into his shirt for over an hour after that. By midnight she’d apparently run out of tears, but she lay limp against him, face buried in his chest, and he got the impression she’d fallen into the twilight of half-consciousness. He’d started rubbing circles into her spine with his thumb, and some time after that, she’d released his jacket, although she hadn’t retracted her hand; it lay on his chest, her cold palm flush against his heartbeat. 

-0-

Half past four in the morning appeared seconds after one, and Klaus realized to his shock that both he and Caroline had drifted off. He regained consciousness for long enough to confirm that she was, in fact, deeply asleep, and his arms were still resting securely around her such that if she tried to get up it would wake him. 

Her hand was still resting against his chest, and to his mild confusion, it was still cold. While vampires didn’t generate as much of their own heat as humans—or wolves—they would still pick up heat from resting against warm objects, same as anything else. Slowly, not wanting to wake her and provoke another fit so soon, he wrapped her hand in his; long artist’s fingers picking up the telltale signs that he’d missed earlier. Her skin was unnaturally cold, and a little rough to the touch, with a subtle hardness which, coupled with how light and slow her heartbeats were, could mean only one thing—something he’d never expected to find in a vampire who wasn’t chained up and locked in a dungeon.

Caroline Forbes was beginning to desiccate; dry up and starve surrounded by blood-filled humans. 

What the hell was happening?

He knew she had plenty of access to blood; Meredith Fell used her medical license to stockpile it on the Salvatores’ considerable dime, and the Sheriff looked the other way as long as Caroline was provided-for in the process.

So what the hell was going on? Had someone bled her out in the last 24 hours without him noticing? She did know to drink a lot after that, right? 

His mind spun, inventing horrible possibility after horrible possibility, and he had to fight to keep his arm from tightening around her and waking her. His burning need to know who he had to kill to make it better intensified with each passing second. Caroline wouldn’t just stop eating of her own accord, so someone or something was doing this to her, and he’d be damned—well, again—if he didn’t find out what.

The arrival of 4:45 announced itself rudely as Caroline’s alarm blared, echoing against the walls in a way only a vampire would notice. Caroline’s right hand remained resting in Klaus’s deliberately loose grip, but her left reached over him and unerringly turned off the alarm, ignoring the large snooze button. Klaus must’ve been more asleep than he’d thought, because the blonde pillowing her head on his chest had to have been awake to do that, and he hadn’t noticed. 

Caroline’s arm rested back on his chest immediately, and she lay still, seeming quite unbothered to find him still in her bed. Perhaps, even, trying not to wake him up. Testing his theory, he shifted a bit, re-adjusting his hold on her. She stiffened. Yeah, she’d been hoping he wasn’t awake yet. But she hadn’t made a move to pull away or get up when she thought he was still asleep; he wasn’t sure what to make of that.

“Morning, love,” he greeted her quietly, pressing a kiss to her temple.

“Klaus,” she grumbled in a warning tone, but still made no move to extricate herself.

“What happened last night,” he asked as calmly as he could manage.

“Don’t worry about it,” she sighed, but her heart-rate picked up and he heard her swallow. He sat up, pulling her with him and ignoring her glare of protest as he held her hand between his own, thumb running gently over her desiccating fingers.

“Don’t play that game with me,” he warned, ignoring her glare of protest. “I have never seen you in so much pain, Caroline, and I can see the what,” here he nodded towards her hands, “what I don’t have is the why. Why aren’t you eating?”

“I am,” she hissed, yanking her hand out of his and turning to put her feet on the floor. “I said don’t worry about it.”

“Yeah, I heard you, and I’m going to need a bit more than that,” Klaus responded evenly. Her pulse was racing, and the last thing he needed was to push her so hard that she had another panic attack.

“It’s none of your business,” she snapped, whirling to glare at him over her shoulder.

“Sweetheart you’re starving in a stocked kitchen,” he listed, gesturing at her mini fridge with his thumb, “I heard you from down the street last night and came up because I legitimately thought you were being kidnapped and tortured, and you—who have made it perfectly clear that you find my presence irksome in the highest degree—grabbed onto me for dear life last night and are making no real effort to dislodge me now. I am not an idiot, love,” he growled. “I know that means something is desperately wrong. And I'm worrying about it.”

Caroline swallowed, breathing deeply and rubbing her eyes. Her shoulder dropped, and she looked deflated.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” she finally gritted out.

“I can help,” he insisted.

“No, you really can’t,” she sighed, and although he could tell she was trying for huffy hostility, all he could hear was sorrow and exhaustion.

“Try me,” he demanded, working hard to keep the snarl out of his voice. Wasn’t it just like her to protect the person hurting her?

“No,” she responded flatly, standing up and rustling around in her dresser for some clothes. Her movements were slow and clumsy, and he saw her lips purse together as her dry, painful skin whacked the side of the drawer.

“Not doing a very convincing ‘fine,’ darling,” he commented, laying back and folding his arms behind his head casually.

“What do you want from me?” she demanded, tossing her outfit on the bed so she could throw her hands up expressively. “There’s no one for you to murder, Klaus!”

“Then there's no harm in telling me, is there?” he countered cleverly.

“What are you going to do; kidnap and torture it out of me?” she demanded, voice dripping sarcasm. “A bit counterintuitive if you ask me.”

“I would never hurt you, love,” Klaus responded, knowing she was baiting him and refusing to rise. “But,” he added, “I'm not leaving until you tell me.”

Caroline scoffed wordlessly, grabbed her clothes and flounced into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. As the shower turned on, Klaus surveyed the house with his senses, noting that Liz Forbes hadn't yet arrived home. He lay there comfortably, listening to the water run in the shower—and Caroline try and fail to control her breathing—for nearly half an hour. She dried off, blow-dried her hair (for less time than Klaus thought that ought to take, but then what did he know about blow-drying long hair) and he heard the rustle of clothes being pulled on for a moment before she let out a hiss of pain and froze in place. 

He frowned, then realized that she’d grabbed skinny jeans, and if they were nearly as hard to get into as he imagined, and her feet were in the same state as her hands, that forcing the denim over her skin would likely be extremely painful. He rubbed a hand through his hair in frustration. If she’d just tell him what the problem was, he could figure out how to fix it; in a thousand years he’d learned quite a few facts about vampires, and was confident that he could resolve the issue, whatever it was. 

Unfortunately, the vampire in question was being terribly stubborn; both in her determination not to let him help and, apparently, in her determination to wear that pair of jeans. He winced every time she made a sound of pain, which was quite a few times in the interminably long six minutes it took her to get dressed.

Finally, she exited the bathroom, doing a brief and irritated double-take when she saw him still lounging on her bed.

“You really don’t have anything better to do than sit there and wait for me to change my mind?” she grumbled as she sat down at her makeup table.

“Depends,” he countered, “like I said I’m not leaving you until you tell me, so I suppose I’ll be sitting around your high school at some point.” She whirled to glare at him in disbelief. “Or at the grill, oh, do you have cheerleading practice today?” he added with a bit of a leer. She flipped him off and he laughed. “I’m a very patient man when I want something,” he reminded her, and she wasn’t sure if that was supposed to sound like a threat or a promise.

“We’ll see about that,” she muttered, picking up her phone and sending a text message before turning back to the mirror.

“Is that a challenge, love?” he demanded playfully, wondering which of her troupe of friends she was enlisting to help her shake him off.

“Yes,” she responded coolly. “Because as you’ve noticed, I’m under the weather, so my mom is calling me out of school today. I’m going to sit here and watch makeup tutorials for the next six hours, then go downstairs, eat a tub of ice cream and watch telenovelas. If you really want to glue your immortal, hybrid ass to my bed and try your hand at boring yourself to death, be my guest.”

what are your top ten favorite klaroline fics?

Ooooo let me think... in no particular order:

The Lost Prince & The Eternal Queen by @3tinkgemini /3tingemini

Oh this is a beloved favourite. Caroline's a werewolf alpha and Klaus, fresh from breaking his curse, searches her pack out to turn them into hybrids. Instead of forces them to turn, Caroline makes a deal with him, teaching him what it means to be who they are, offering him a place in her pack and if by a certain amount of time her pack want to become hybrids, he may turn as many as he wishes. It's got some great lore and delves nicely into Klaus' werewolf side. I adore it.

The Stubborn Grace of Being Loved Regardless by @helpless-in-sleep / perfectpro

Also an all-time favourite, this fic is beautiful. Caroline isn't turned into a vampire and when Klaus rolls into town, she's still human. That doesn't deter his affections. AND DID I MENTION YOU GET TO SEE HIM IN WOLF FORM? NO? WELL YOU DO AND I AM STILL NOT OVER IT 😭😭😭

Wisteria by @little-miss-sunny-daisy / sunnydaisy

Caroline meets Klaus before he comes to Mystic Falls, without realising he is in fact, The Klaus, The Original Hybrid. A beautiful love story unfolds that leaves you all soft and gooey inside.

The Howling by @bellemorte180 / BelleMorte180

I LOVE the idea of this two-shot. It's a werewolf mate au - wherein both Klaus and Caroline are werewolves. There's also ✨Damon murder✨ Need I say more?

From The Eastern Mountains by @cupcakemolotov / Cupcakemolotov

Read this not too long ago actually and kicked myself for not finding it sooner. In between grieving her mother, travelling and finding her own place in the world, Caroline keeps bumping into Klaus. The scene at the market haS changed me on a fundamental level, i even don't know why that scene's the most vivid for me but it is. There's just something so mundane about it. AND HELL YES WE GET KLAUS IN WOLF FORM!!! Go forth and read.

Their Nightly Ritual by bellamywinchester

A fic from my ffnet days, this has got to be a contender for my favourite kc fic of all time. Again, there's just something so mundane about it, even with all the supernatural shenanigans - I guess I have a type? I NEED THE DOMESTICITY OKAY? Caroline and Klaus exchange phone calls while she's in college, diverging from season 5 canon.

Blood and A Quick Murder (and isn't that how it always is?) by @ks-caster / KS_Caster

A beautiful character study on how Caroline will always come first in Klaus' books. It explores a really unique idea I've never seen before, and if you like this one-shot you should definitely check out ks-caster's Red Queen series too, which diverges from canon at season 4.

Till I Tasted You by @kirythestitchwitch / KiryTheStitchWitch

GOD this fic is a favourite because never have I ever been ruined so severely by one line of dialogue: “As if I could be jealous of a boy who has no concept of what it is like to touch the sun and then spend a millennium looking for daylight in every strangers’ face.” YOU SEE??? HOW WILL I FIND LOVE NOW THIS IS MY STANDARD???

[muffled screaming]

Wicked Schemes by willowaus

This one is probably on every klaroline rec list, but eh, I don't care. It's a good classic. I love that its set in New Orleans and Caroline gets her own powers. It also has Klaus in wolf form and any fic that has that instantly earns my seal of approval, as you should know by now.

the fate makes for a lousy poet by @stars-and-darkness / for_darkness_shows_the_stars

I binged this in a morning and after I finished it I was left shell shocked, in that high state after a fic has completely changed you on a spiritual level where you don't know how to move on with your life. I just remember lying atop my bed and staring at the ceiling like??? What do I do now??? What was I doing before I read this??? Fuck if I know. It's an amazing fic, canon divergent from season 3, a tattoo soulmate au with brilliant appearances from Kol, Elijah and Rebekah as well. And hey, in my shell shock after reading it I left an essay-length comment on the fic and now I'm best mates with the author. Our tastes literally align so perfectly it's like we share the same brain cell, so I could probably make a top ten klaroline fic list out of Ella's fics alone - every fic of hers takes all my hopes and dreams and weaves them into art. So check her stuff out, and not just the popular ones either (she's also got an amnesia au in the works which has me FERAL so come help me pester her to finish it)

The fact that a member of the board said "they could not commit to calling khelif 'biologically male'" strongly implies that khelif was identified as intersex, not just as a typical xy male. Klinefelter syndrome produces people with varying sex attributes; caster semenya is an intersex athlete who has female genitalia externally, but discovered she had KS when a health check up she got as an Adult revealed that she has testicles that never descended and do Not produce the testosterone output of descended testes.

I've seen on your blog that you think women who produce too much testosterone should not be allowed to be Olympic athletes because they have an unnatural and unfair advantage over over women, despite the fact that numerous disorders specific to females can cause women to have higher than average testosterone levels.

However, I personally think that the phenotypic characteristics of a person's anatomy says more about their sex than their genetics. If a person is born with a vagina, they are going to be oppressed bc of what the vagina represents in a patriarchal society, regardless of what genetics say. Algeria is not trans friendly. Imane Khelif's parents, by all public accounts, raised her as a woman and tried to prevent her from joining boxing because it was "too masculine" for someone like her. Based on all the public information about her, it seems extremely unlikely that her parents, her primary schools, and her female boxing and football teams all spent extended time with Imane and Never noticed descended cock and balls.

Based on all the public info available, imane khelif is Most Likely an intersex person with female anatomy, who has spent her whole life dealing with misogyny and the other burdens of being female. She is also the latest in a line of black women to have her womanhood acknowledged by other black people but called into question by white people who deem it Impossible that a black woman could out perform her white counterparts without lying and cheating. She may also be the second viral case of a black, intersex Olympic athlete having their private health information involuntary broadcast to the world because no one could accept that a black woman can be the top of her field without trying to discredit her.

I will advise you like I have done to others to read menalez's tag about caster semenya, the last intersex athlete to get virally scrutinized like Imane Khelif has been. Menalez breaks down Semenya's scores, using sources, in comparison with other male and female athletes in her caliber. These posts were honestly a big reason why I began reading into klinefelter syndrome, why I believe that having it doesn't mean that the affected person will always anatomically function like a man, and why I believe that the testosterone boost Semenya receives from being intersex is not comparable to the testosterone boost a female athlete gets from doping or that a male athlete gets from functioning testicals. I believe my views on Semenya translate to my views on Khelif because Khelif does Not have the power that actual XY trans boxers have against cis women. Khelif has lost nine of forty matches in her career, and she has never seriously injured a woman the way certain TIM boxers have. How is she really comparable to a man in any way besides Allegedly sharing a chromosome with them?

"Of all of the Aarokocra that traveled from the Elemental Plane of Air to the Material Plane, those Aarokocra who started the Lighthouse Corps are the oldest and most stubborn. They say they reached our plane of existence by skirting the edges of the Positive Energy Plane, where they met an entity known as the Undying Light.

"When the Aarokocra found their new home here on this plane, they took fragments of the Undying Light's flame with them, and built massive monuments, the lighthouses, to house them as far above the land as they could.

"Now, they act as shining beacons for the civilizations that started up under them. There's no finer friend to a sailor, whether lost in sea or storm, than the shining shape of one of those birds in the sky."

So I ended up making a Pathfinder 2 Dedication for one of the organizations in my Homebrew world, and I thought I'd publish it here, too! It was my first time homebrewing anything at this level, and some of it is a LITTLE overtuned... But I'm really happy with how it turned out.

[purplesigebert]

I would like to thank @ks-caster for their headcanon that:

A) Klaus not only knows Robert Downey Jr but

B) Knows him well enough to call him Bob and

C) that the way the gang got to the island off of Nova Scotia for the cure was that RDJ loaned Klaus his private plane

[morningstargirl666]

Some stories I love that had wolf!Klaus in them and in some cases even inspired elements of TBBW:

The Red Queen Series (Red Queen - Complete, Roux Reine - Complete, Hans Røde Dronning - WIP) by KS_Caster / @ks-caster

I can't actually remember if this one had Klaus physically in wolf form but in Roux Reine there is a kinda sub plot where he's trying to gain control of the wolf transformation. There's a brilliant scene I remember vividly where he shifts his hand into a paw at the dinner table. Also I love how this S5 divergence slowly builds their relationship and Caroline finally gets someone firmly in her corner.

Wicked Schemes by willowaus

Caroline is unreachable by phone at the start of this fic and Liz asks Klaus to find her, worried she's missing. He does so in wolf form. Literally runs hundreds of miles and tracks her down. Zero notes. Amazing. The rest of the fic is brilliant too, if you're in the mood for a slight diverge from the typical Caroline goes to New Orleans AU.

The Lost Prince and The Eternal Queen by 3tinkgemini

Caroline is a werewolf Alpha in this one but otherwise it is a canon divergence. I think instead of taking Stefan to find werewolves to turn, he's on his own? And Caroline, knowing he's coming, offers him a deal: learn the ways of his own kind, their culture, the inner workings of a pack and then, if any of her pack members wish to become his hybrids, they will. There's a scene where the whole pack turns and Klaus is with them that I remember vividly. I love it very much, mostly because there isn't many fics that deep dive into the werewolf culture like this one did.

The Stubborn Grace of Being Loved Regardless by perfectpro / @helpless-in-sleep

Wolf!Klaus keeps coming to Caroline's garden and sitting in her flower beds in this one. I think at one point she throws a flip flop at his face. No notes. Amazing. Magnificent. Absolutely beautiful. Would sell my soul for this fic.

From The Eastern Mountains by Cupcakemolotov / @cupcakemolotov

Klaus saves Caroline in wolf form after she gets into a bit of bother with some other werewolves. Or were they witches? Not sure. Point is she was danger and wolf!Klaus came charging in to save her. There's some hot smut in this one.

Everything, Everything by Anyaparadox

If I remember correctly - and I may be wrong - but while Caroline and Klaus are trapped in the alternate world in human bodies, they realise Klaus is a werewolf just before the full moon rises and Caroline sees him transform. A scene follows that was a bit like if Caroline had been there for Klaus when he turned on a full moon, not Tyler.

There's also All I Need by emeraldvixen which I don't think has Klaus in wolf!form but it has some werewolf elements and smut. And there's another fic I cannot find in my bookmarks and can't remember the name of, but basically some witch curses Klaus into wolf!puppy form and shenanigans ensue as Caroline tries to figure out how to fix his predicament. I think she buys a leash and collar at one point to blend in with the human populance, much to Klaus' embaressment. I feel like it was either written by @cupcakemolotov or @lynyrdwrites though I may be completely wrong.

In conclusion, fics with Klaus in wolf form are out there, but ones with him being an absolute lovesick puppy for Caroline or (and arguably just as equally brilliant and funny as hell) the moon moon of the werewolf population are very, very rare. Like, he's freshly broken the curse after 1000 years. His father is no longer alive to teach him the werewolf basics. There's going to be a learning curve. There's a lot of potential here people.

We need more fics with wolf!klaus, honestly. Writers, I'm looking at you. Get to work, chop, chop.

I need more recs of stories where Klaus is absolutely a puppy for Caroline in his wolf form. I've reread The Big, Bad Wolf by Morningstargirl666 and I love the scenes where Ansel and Sam are basically having to manhandle wolf Klaus away from Caroline. I love him being a puppy for her. I need more stories with that energy. Even if it's just a small scene in the story. It's so adorable.

[feykwangshik]

the truth is out there | ks + ar

tw/cw: mention of blood, death, and trauma

memory-erasing wasn’t illegal, but it simply wasn’t healthy either. kwangshik would give anything in the world to forget that horrific night. he wanted to forget how his body had been slammed painfully against the ground with enough force to wind him, the werewolf’s hot breath snarling against his cheek moments before his rescue. if he could no longer see the bloodied, torn body of his mother’s familiar, recall the weight that crushed him until he couldn’t breathe anymore, he’d give absolutely everything. lugging the dead familiar back home and finding his mother perished on the floor with his grandparents bewildered and grief-stricken expressions burned into his mind for the nightmares to follow. it had been over half a year since kwangshik had made the executive decision to develop a potion that would take the pain away. he didn’t know what he would replace that memory with, but he’d figure it out when he got there.

this complicated process needed help. not only was it so potent that kwangshik decided to move out into the wilderness to mix the potion so he wasn’t constantly inhaling the toxic fumes, the herbs needed weren’t exactly known. there was no set or agreed upon list, from what the jaeseung grimoires told him. the witch knew just who to go to for such complexity. as talented as he was on his own, it needed someone with more expertise along the field. given the nature of it, it was a long shot. he was nearly a hundred percent sure he’d get chewed out on the idea, but he had to try. it brought him to scrape along the grassless ground with a crystal, in the shape of a rune perfect for evocation. after digging around his backpack to fish out his grandmother’s grimoire, her most personal possession as a witch, he placed it gently onto the center of the sloppily-drawn rune. with the crystal placed firmly against his lips, words in latin began to flow as if second-nature. what started out as a light breeze picked up to strong gusts of wind, howling and drowning out the sound of his own voice.

summoning a spirit from the dead was no easy feat. it took the caster a decent amount of energy, especially with how long it took to summon said spirit. one must maintain a steady connection and flow of energy even after years of practice. being naturally gifted, it only must’ve been a mere couple of minutes before his grandmother’s spirit appeared in front of him with her grimoire resting on her lap.

“hi, grandma.” kwangshik greets the older spirit with a fond smile, scooting a tad bit closer. the spirit returned the greeting, but was automatically suspicious of his intent.

“choi kwangshik, what are you planning?” she sighs, reaching forward to affectionally tap the head of her grandson. “tell me you’re not getting into any trouble.” at this, he can only offer a nervous grin.

“i just… had a question about a memory potion.”

“kwangshik.” she replied sternly.

an animated argument begun that would startle any passerby. unlike himself, the witch gave little regard for his surroundings. debating with a spirit of all people, about magic of all things. despite being deep into the forest, it didn’t change the fact that it was a public area. anyone had the ability to stumble upon them and witness a spirit scolding her grandson while he stood next to pots of bubbling potent concoctions.

“i love you, kwangshik. i hate seeing you do this to yourself. let it go and let it rest.” with that, the witch simply ran out of energy to keep the apparition tethered to the earth plane, watching it disintegrate into the air, he collapsed onto his bottom with bated breath. he blinks away the tears prickling along the rim of his eyes, an exasperated sigh breaking the silence once the spirit returned to her resting place. dicussing his deceased mother and her familiar never failed to drain the life out of him. the discussion got absolutely no where. although he half-expected his grandma would attempt to put the brakes on his experiments, it still left him unsatisfied and still without answers.

a rustle in the bushes caused the witch’s eyes to snap forward, narrowing to get a better glimpse of what made the sound. kwangshik stood slowly, dusting off his jeans before moving forward.

“is someone there?” he called out cautiously, suddenly nervous. if a human had been watching the whole time, it would spell trouble. without a way to erase anyone’s memories, he was screwed.

I wish the best of luck to the casters who have to call any Titans vs. Valiant match for having to navigate three separate players whose names will all start with ‘KS’.

Hello Tumblr!

Suppose it's high time I did one of those pinned “read before you follow” posts so here we go!

I'm Caster - born in 1993 (see what I did there, now I don't have to go through and change my age every year!) genderfluid graduate student and unpopular blogger. I collect and plush dragons and amphibians, and occasionally make artesianal hand-drawn memes. I'm whiter than cottage cheese, live in the US of A, have anxiety, depression, OCD, scoliosis, 3 crushed discs in my back, and as a general rule it's due to the miracle of modern medicine that I can walk upright and accomplish adult responsibilities.

As my bio says, I'm into fandom stuff, social justice, memes and general chaos. If those are not your cup of tea, you're probably not going to have a very good time on this here blog. If they are, then welcome! I also talk about alcohol like... a lot lol.

I don't do DNIs, but I do 100% finish shit that people start with me. You have been warned.

When my social justice essays get too long they move to @diy-wnr013

I write fanfic - KS-Caster on AO3

I wrote a book - A Tale of Gold and Roses on Amazon, under my old pen name Beth Nottingham.

hi! do you have any long canon klaroline fic recommendations?

i’m missing klaroline and actual canon isn’t gonna cut it

I'm going to assume by long fics you mean multichaps? I've always found this fandom seems to be lacking in them, and I'm not talking about the 5-10 chapter fics --- I mean the long ass, epic-length fics that transport you to another dimension and rob you of nine hours of your life in a back-alley because you couldn't close the ao3 page at 1am. Other fandoms seem to have dozens of them but klaroline? Not so much. Writers here seem to prefer the 50k one-shots or playing with a different AU altogether, which is fantastic of course, but sometimes you crave something different, you know? Something you can lose youself in. It's what made me write TBBW, initially. However, that doesn't mean the fandom doesn't have some canon-divergent gems.

Epic-Length Wonders:

Red Queen by KS_Caster / @ks-caster

3-Part Series, Over 200k+ words. Season 4 Canon-Divergent. The last part is a WIP. I absolutely adored this fic when I first read it and I still adore it now. Klaus puts Caroline first and continues to put her first during the search for Silas' cure and it is fucking amazing. The werewolf/hybrid world building in the second fic inspired me to write more fics like it. It's not had as much attention since it was moved to AO3, but trust me, this fic is a hidden gem.

Wicked Schemes by willowaus / @willowaus

30 Chapters, 260k+ words. Season 1 TO Canon-Divergent. Ignores the baby plot. Caroline inherits the powers of a harbringer and the way its weaved into the fic so flawlessly makes you question if it wasn't just canon to begin with. Honestly epic world building. Wolf!Klaus also makes an appearance! A true klaroline classic.

make them bow. by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

35 Chapters, 220k+ words. Season 1 Canon-Divergent. Klaus is dropped into season one while Caroline is still human. Klefan bromance. Damon retribution. Forbes family dynamics. Klaus covered in blood. Council Members and Founding Family warfare. There's a reason this is the most commented-on fic in the entire fandom even though it's barely been out a year.

Binge-In-One-Sitting Multichaps:

Til I Tasted You by KiryTheStitchWitch / @kirythestitchwitch

4 Chapters, 22k. Canon Divergent/Soulmate AU. Will ruin you with single most devastating declaration of love in existence, forewarning you now.

throw roses into the abyss by marxandangels / @marxandangels

7 Chapters, 99k+. WIP. Technically Season 6 Canon-Divergent (after Liz dies) but ignores canon for the most part, especially TO wise. Explores the concept of humanity-less vampires so well, with a dash of world building on the side. Klaus and Caroline's relationship is also explored with such nuance --- like these two aren't just attracted to each other but entwined by their very souls, kind of nuanced. Oh, and the bloodsharing scene drawn by here by @stardust414 lives rent-free in my mind.

Someone's First Choice by unpublishednovelist

10 Chapters, 29k+. Post-Canon. This one's a WIP but I'm keeping my eye on it because it's good. Like hella good. Caroline decides to say fuck it and goes with some college friends to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, accomadation covered by our favourite Original hybrid. She breaks up with Tyler over voicemail. Queen shit.

All I Need by emeraldvixen

14 Chapters, 60k, E rated. Canon-Divergent/Wolf Mate AU. In the mood for some hot and steamy smut? Emeraldvixen's got you covered.

the fate makes for a lousy poet by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

7 Chapters, 50k+. Season 3 Canon-Divergent/Soulmate AU. The Originals in pajamas. Need I say more?

Who put Bella down the Wynch Elm? by for_darkness_shows_the_stars / @stars-and-darkness

7 Chapters, 60k+. Post-Canon. A murder mystery whodunnit with original side characters and Caroline in all her bad ass glory, after she's left Mystic Falls and its hellmouth-worthy shenanigans. Just - for a minute - imagine canon expanded on the tvd universe and revisted the fact the Originals are little more than nightmarish stories in the supernatural world, or that Stefan is the most infamous mass murderer on the east coast and maybe you'll understand how amazing this fic is.

Important to note these were all specifically Canon-Divergent multichaps. There's plenty more gems out there, just for different AUs and lengths. I also only looked at my ao3 bookmarks for this, so like, I'm probably forgetting several.

[countesskittymeow]

@ks-caster lmao, accurate. Is very accurate 🤣🤣

[morningstargirl666]

I think’s Red Queen by @ks-caster​. It’s on ffn.net and AO3. It’s also a trilogy, not sure if the last one is finished but I remember the first two being amazing, Klaus really puts Caroline first and their relationship develops beautifully. Also some wolfy action in there which I personally adore.

Looking for a fic where Caroline uses the daggers not knowing that doing so would kill a vampire. Klaus vows to get The Cure for her to save her life

Oh, this is an older story, but I can't remember the name of it. Anyone?

You might catch griffsnuff selling a bagbean for 200$, but other than that you'll need to pay around 450-600$. If you want to get into the bagbean community "cheaply" to participate without Maze's limitations (for around 70-100), get a kryptox or a semi-main species. Casters, Bavoms, non-AN parasplicers, etc. They can do everything a bagbean can do. Trials, soulmating, magic, fighting, time activities. The only difference is epeen. For 250-300$ you can get a non-kryptox dom, AN para, or a titan.

Griffsnuff sells bagbeans from 10$ to 500$ in flat sells. It depends on which bagbean type you are aiming for. Coffee bean here was 15$ https://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/501-Beanbean-Bagbean-Coffee-bean-FTO-CLOSED-681567323This Floral was 10$: https://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/811-Floral-BB-w-m-Fallen-Leaves-KS-FS-Raffle-712834421

Free raffles aren’t limited to FTO:https://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/art/631-MYO-Celestial-BB-Sprout-RAFFLE-WINNER-700545131
