my angsty headcanon about klaus and mikael is that when mikael answers the million dollar question why the fuck did you hate your son so much with “i don’t know, i just did” i genuinely believe he’s being honest. for all of mikael’s alleged superiority to his children in strength he’s very weak when it comes to emotional intelligence and regulation which indicative of a man from his time period. the fact he doesn’t see anything wrong with his own father training him brutally at what must have been around 8 years old. or that he can’t comprehend why his biological children would side with their brother over him, doesn’t really get the fact that a violent father is frightening to children even when that violence is not being directed at them. mikael reaching his final death without having any sort of self realization is kinda tragic. although i think he deserved exactly what he got, it would have been better for everyone involved if there was actually some clarity on why he acts the way he does and why he was such a monster to klaus prior to henrik’s death and the whole mess that followed it.

this is just my personal headcanon based on a variety of season 2 scenes, but i imagine klaus looking just like freya as a child. the same curly blond hair, the same blue eyes, the same smile. maybe they even take on similar behaviour patterns and personalities. and at first it’s a blessing. mikael adores him, he dots on him constantly in a way he doesn’t with finn or elijah, a way he never will with kol or henrik. he’s taken out of his grief, he pours all that left over love into his then youngest and things are okay. but after a time, once that child develops more into his own person, grows into his own distinct face, it becomes harder and harder to indulge in the dream. and the more niklaus grows, the longer mikael looks at him, the more it feels like the gods are mocking him. his anger comes back and can’t be quelled. it has to go somewhere. someone has to absorb it. why not niklaus, who makes him want to scream and cry when he thinks he’s seen his daughter only for it to be a trick of the light. when he finds out years later that he is not his blood, it’s only validation for what he already believed.

Littlest Wolf 🐺

fr can you imagine someone who already has sensory issues or a mood disorder getting turned i’d lose it

The concept of heightened emotions in tvdu was genuinely too intriguing and perfectly explains why the vampires did what they did

Too bad they didn't give it more attention

Elijah: Why's the rice cooker over here? Kol: Oh yeah, that was from my midnight snack. Forgot to put it away Elijah: Shouldn't it be midday snack? Sounds so much better Kol: But so much less accurate!

The Vampire Diaries-- Rare Pair Rec

So lately I've been stuck in a Vampire Diaries obsession and have been consuming an insane amount of fanfiction. In amongst them I've found a few gems that are a rare pair ship. So I thought I'd share them with you.

In Secret

By: Star_Dust47

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25217239/chapters/61122979

Summary: Elena Gilbert met Finn Mikaelson when she was 12 years old, it was the one moment in all the time that Finn had been held in the box that he managed to escape. Sadly it was not very long and soon Klaus had him back in that box he so loathed. What happens when Finn is released by Elijah Mikaelson and Damon Salvatore 6 years later....

My Comments: The reason I started reading this fic was because it was 2 am and I was bored and trying to fall asleep. And boy was I surprised by how good this fic is. I ended up getting no sleep that night because I stayed up reading and I couldn't put this fic down. StarDust actually managed to make the Finn/Elena pairing work really well. And I have to say that this fic I really enjoyed reading a lot. I highly recommend giving this fic a chance!!!!

Shades of Blue

By: MissNMikaelson

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16957140/chapters/39849315

Summary: In a world where everything is black and white, the first color you see is the color of your soulmate's eyes. Elena didn't think she'd ever see color, and then she did when she least expected it.

My Comments: So this is a short little fic, but I love the premise of it. I found that I really enjoyed reading this, and they managed to make the pairing work. It was last updated back in 2018, so I doubt the author is going anywhere with it. But I do think that you'd enjoy this. I have this marked as incomplete, but it could be read as a one shot. This fic is cross-posted on ff.net, so I'll link that down below.

Queen of the Highway

By: SevenSistersofSussex

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30118659/chapters/74188458

Summary: A father's love is complicated and sometimes it isn't enough, but even so, John Gilbert knows his own daughter. So when Katherine Pierce slinks into the family kitchen, he knows she isn't his daughter. With Katherine out of the way, the Gilberts leave Mystic Falls forever to run from the threat of Klaus Mikaelson. But what happens, years later, when he finds Elena anyway?

My Comments: The pairing in this fic is Klaus/Elena which is a pretty strange pairing, I know, but the author really makes the pairing work. I started reading this fic because I was looking for Elena/Elijah fics, and came across this one. But god, this has to be the best romance fanfic I’ve ever read. And that includes some pretty popular ships. The foreshadowing and romance between Elijah and Elena, and Elena and Klaus is just amazing. I like seeing how mature Elena has grown, and all the characters have grown and changed. Plus the relationship between Elena and the rest of the Mikaelsons is just fantastic. This work is also cross posted on ff.net as well, so I’ll link that site down below. You do need an AO3 account to read this fic.

For You I would Wait a Thousand Years

By: AnnCatherine

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30191100/chapters/74389023

Summary: On everyone's twelfth birthday, their soulmark, the birthday of their soulmate, appears on their wrist. Elena Gilbert and Elijah Mikaelson are crushed when they learn they live thousands of years apart from their soulmate.

My Comments: This is a Elena/Elijah pairing fic, which I know isn't exactly a rare pair, but I'm including it regardless. I found that I really enjoyed reading this fic, and especially enjoyed seeing the relationship between Elena and Elijah develop. I also really enjoyed the relationship that Elena had with the rest of the Mikaelsons as well. This does have a sequel between Klaus and Caroline, which is basically just the outtakes between them that didn't make it into the original fic. I highly recommend reading both of these, I promise that these will make your days!!!

                               Bonnie Bennett OC Celebration 

First of all I want to give a great big thank you to @hollowed-hallowed for creating and hosting the rarepair event in July.  It is from that wonderful event that I got the idea for this and therefore credit is extended to them. 

As discussed in this post, I am challenging all the wonderful Bonnie fandom creators to answer the question: If you could give Bonnie Bennett the perfect love interest who would it be? 

That’s right --- I am encouraging you all to have fun and create a character for the TVDU that would be perfect for our witch.  Which trope would you choose?  Enemies to lovers?  Childhood friend? Would they be a fellow witch?  A werewolf?  Some new species TVD has never seen before?  Anything goes just as long as you are having fun.  You can present your character by create fanart, a vid, a short fic --- do it whatever way feels best to you.

The following are basic (a.k.a. vague) prompts to get your creative juices following but do not necessarily have to be adhered to. 

Day 1: witch Day 2: vampire  Day 3: werewolf Day 4: human  Day 5: any other species introduced in the TDVU Day 6: introduce a species to the TVDU Day 7: free for all

The celebration is tentative scheduled to run Thursday, September 22 to Wednesday, September 28th to coincide with the Autumn Equinox.  This also gives you plenty of time to think of your creations.  More reminders will come out as we get closer to the day.  The tag: bboccelebration will be used and you are free to @ me as well. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

BBOCC: Day Five~Any other species introduced in the TDVU~Guardian/Nephilim

“Bonnie, how does going to a soiree sound to you?”

“A soiree? Here? Who’s hosting it?”

“Tyler Lockwood.” Sitara’s voice took on a sultry tone. “It will be a mix of business and pleasure.”

Bonnie was liking the way Sitara was thinking. “Add more pleasure and I’m in.”

“Your wish is my command.” She laid a soft kiss on Bonnie’s cheek. “Now let’s hunt down this Maa-alused.”

Bonnie only knew of one Guardian in her 26 years on this Earth and that was her best friend Elena Gilbert. So imagine her surprise when she meets Sitara Velis, a Guardian from Delaware now in Mystic Falls on a mission. A creature known as a Redcap was on a killing spree and it came to Mystic Falls due to the hotbed of supernatural activity and death over the years. While working together to subdue it the two grow closer. In time Sitara went from confidant to a best friend and lover. One benefit of being with Sitara was all the travelling. Bonnie had never been to places like Okinawa, Japan or Abu Dhabi but experiencing it with Sitara felt different. Sitara brought a freshness and a sort of freedom that only occurred for Bonnie in short bursts.

kennet

Ah Kennet, the literal only ship in the TDVU I have no strong emotions on. If I come across them in a good Klaroline fic, I'll be happy to read them and enjoy them. Which is saying something as I strongly ship both Kol and Bonnie with other characters, and me not hating a ship when I adore conflicting ships is truly rare for me.

22,24,25 and 27 + audra!

wow these are really good for audra lmaooooo

022. what are their favorite insults to use? what do they insult people for? or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back? she’s not very good w words when she gets angry so a lot of the time she’ll just get physical (which pisses al*ric off, so she does it open purpose whenever she feels bitchy, like she should!!!) but she repeatedly calls people “backstabbing bitches” and whenever she has to deal with penelope she’ll call her “santana jr. (except at least she had redeeming qualities)” when talking to lizzie (yes.....audra’s a glee fan, i don’t care if glee isn’t in the tdvu universe!!!!) but when she does shit talk it’s behind their back, which is toxic but you know what, she’s 15 with the shittiest parents money cannot buy agshsjjsjsjs

024. what is their sleeping pattern like? do they snore? what do they like to sleep on? a soft or hard mattress? okay, audra is literally crazy and sleeps in the starfish position. with one pillow. that’s it. but she did use this spell lizzie came up with that causes the bed to adjust to her so it’s kind of easy for her to do that??? her friends all use a lot of pillows so they make fun of her a bit for it lmaoooo

025. what do they find funny? do they have a good sense of humor? are they funny themselves? ......she has an awful sense of humor. like, worse than most people. it’s not like dark or insensitive or anything but she like,,, doesn’t laugh a lot???? at all??? and when she does it’s normally at reality tv competition tv show fails - especially the ones like wipeout. but also she has a compilation of x factor auditions on deck at all times. but she’s really blunt and also doesn’t take certain social cues really well so she’s not really “funny” but she definitely has her moments agsjsjsjs

027. what makes them sad? do they cry regularly? do they cry openly or hide it? what are they like when they are sad? uhhhh miss girl cries once or twice every month maybe?? not a lot at all which makes people that are really emotional quite uncomfortable but it’s always over something serious. she’s sad   A LOT tho she just never cries. she cuts everyone off when she cries though and refuses to let anyone see her. she only really cries about her sister’s passing honestly. or penelope’s remarks that she made about her once that were so out of pocket that actually like, hurt her hurt her. 

[loveakii]

syphon witch klaus keeps me up at night…. it would play into the abomination thing… and also would make klaus a tribrid…. like are we seeing the vision

actually on another note i’m shocked they never did anything with klaus and bonnie (even a one sided klaus crush) considering his flirty relationships with exclusively black witches

watching the tdvu shows in reverse order is smth else

[loveakii]

this might be a controversial take but i believe lucien castle is the embodiment of the bisexual dilemmas “do i want to BE him or be WITH him” and that moment when your male and female crush start dating each other

[loveakii]

idk if it was ever covered in tdvu but i’m so curious about that time period from the trio’s separation during mikael’s rampage in new orleans to klaus and elijah’s reunion in mystic falls. in 1919 the brothers are good and elijah says he’ll find him and rebekah. next thing we know a century has gone by and elijah wants to kill him permanently bc klaus allegedly dumped the bodies in the ocean. like what caused all that?? we’ve seen the siblings really lose it at each other but they’ve never genuinely, 100% wanted to permanently kill each other until the ritual. i like to imagine the destruction of their home and grief over marcel drove a wedge between them that just got wider and wider, even with them sticking together there was some resentment there which can come with grief. where was elijah in the 20s? at what point did he “find out” klaus dumped the bodies at sea?? like can we get a hidden script covering those years?? i need it this keeps me up at night
