      @tofeelthecold​ !            MARY  &  DAMON .

          the town’s festivals ,    mary had discovered ,   were still raging on , and each time bigger than the last one under the Lockwood tutelage .    this one ,   particularly ,   she was rather fond of ,    as once upon a time she’d been the one to gather all the women for the project ,    and taken out of her own reserves to organize it all :     the spring - flower festival .    off   the season change ,    but right when everything actually    bloomed .      she’d always had a knack for everything - green , the garden when she lived ... properly lived , it was always filled with beauty , along with the greenhouse . for the gardens , giuseppe had insisted on having a gardener to help along , afterall the land was rather vast , but the greenhouse was solely her space , and she adored it . the festival was bustling with life , teenagers with flower crowns , boyfriends dragged along , others more willing , old couples and children reunited in the town square . her own shop had been summoned by Carol to contribute to the festivity , and of course she'd agreed in good humours .

truth be told , mary didn't frequent mystic falls . it was dreadful to barely find things that she could recall , and if she did they would just turn ----- painful carcasses of a life that she'd been robbed of . but she could be there for her own festival , handing carnations and forget - me - not's to the passerbys , peonies to the lovers , lillies to the lonely . with a forget - me - not in hand , she turned on her heels without much thought and tended the flower to the next person , " forget - me - not --- ? " for a moment , she was transfixed . her mouth went dry . IT COULDN'T BE . suddenly dizzy , the witch took half a step back to regain her step , and rebuilt her faltering smile . " it's ... any lovely lady would love it . " the flower out of her hand , she turned around again , back to this --- spectre that had come to haunt her . sometimes , she thought , it seemed she'd actually lost her mind all those years alone in the constant loop .

Malia looked as determined as ever. She'd made her decision. Always trusting her gut and her instinct. 8 years of being a coyote still had it's effects on her, but she took it in stride and pride. "No way I'm backing down," she grinned. "You better be ready for this roadtrip."

shadowsxregrets​:

“I don’t feel like I’m making  a mistake.” she answered honestly. She didn’t really have an affection to this town like some of her friends and family had had. And they knew her. They knew her need for independency and her curiosity to see the rest of the world. They’d probably expected her to have left sooner already. “Because I like you, Damon.” She gave him a soft smile, “Because you make life more interesting when I’m around you. Everything iis less boring when I’m with you.” She shrugged lightly, like it was nothing. “That’s why.”

As Damon listened to her he had to admit that she seemed to be making a rational choice. It was him that was worried about the choice she was making and it wasn’t because he didn’t care about her. It was because of his own reputation and the fact that he had a tendency to lash out or close himself up. Now was probably one of those times because he cared for her. Perhaps that was another issue for him but he didn’t feel like analyzing it right now. “You’re not going to back down are you?”

The threat at the high school called for Greta's attention, against Damon's wishes. She wanted to help and she wasn't taking no for an answer. Everything was going fine, until she was shot in the chest with a wooden shotgun. Vervain, too. It was searing in pain. She got knocked to the ground and did her best to crawl to a corner in the hall. "D-Damon!!"

Preview of a gif series I'm making with TVD-verse characters quoting their Buffyverse counterparts. Here is Hope Mikaelson as Buffy Summers, Caroline Forbes as Cordelia Chase, Damon Salvatore as Spike, Klaus Mikaelson also as Spike, and Elijah Mikaelson as Rupert Giles (with Kol as Xander to prompt him). Feel free to use.

It was Buffy’s first night in London and she was immediately greeted by two vampires. The first one came charging at her that all she had to do was hold up her stake and he ran right into it. The second one was smarter, but not by much. He held his own as long as he could, but all it took was one front kick from the California native and the vampire stumbled backwards, literally tumbling over a gravestone. Buffy immediately burst out laughing.

“Wow, that was really funny-looking,” she taunted the vampire. “Could you do it again?”

The vampire growled at her. “I’ll kill you for that!” He charged at her.

“For THAT!?” She mocked him. “What were you trying to kill me for before!?”

She punched the vampire in the face as he came at her and then dodged his punch. The two exchanged blows until she was against a wall of a mausoleum. The vampire seemingly had her cornered, but Buffy put both of her hands on his shoulders and hoisted herself up sitting on said shoulders, wrapping her legs around his head. Using both of their upper bodies as leverage, Buffy brought herself down to the ground, using her legs to bring the vampire over her head and slam him down on the ground and then quickly got up. “Thanks for the warm welcome,” Buffy said. Before the vampire could respond, she staked him.

Buffy put her stake away and went to continue her patrol, but she felt like she was being watched. "Just show yourself," she called out. "It'll save us some time."

nothing to do with the fact he's never been invited inside

-Klaus

Buffy grit her teeth as she heard the door bang open. She knew who it was. I miss California, she thought as she walked to the door. Yup. She was right. The non-punk, unbleached-haired, elitist version of Spike.

"Every time you show up like this, you risk all of your parts, you know that?" she didn't bother hiding her disdain.

She can hear their arguing from the hallway just outside Hope’s bedroom and she purses her lips briefly wondering if it was always going to be this way. Damon has been with them in one way or another since before Hope was born - and still they he and Klaus argue as if they haven’t been in each other’s live over a decade now.  The hybrid makes her way down the hallway toward Klaus’ study, moving through the doorway, Hayley clears her throat to gather their attention. “Our daughter is trying to fall asleep - is there a reason we’re arguing tonight?” She questions glancing between the two men.

“Well would you look at that, it’s my favorite human sized baseball and here I am without my bat. What do you want Salvatore, because I can tell you what I want, your head on a bloody stick” Kol said as he stepped toward Damon in a menacingly way, of course he had no intention of killing the annoying bastard but it would be fun to threaten him even if nothing came of it. 

“Maybe if you apologize I’ll let it go, unlike Klaus I have somewhat of a merciful side to me”

"You know keeping to the shadows doesn’t make it any less obvious that you’re following me.” Stefan’s tone drifted in the wind. His days of dealing with the debauchery and melodramas of Mystical Falls was over. He was content with working above the oils slicks and pinned beneath the cold exterior of vintage car. The brooding shadow that danced across the pavement rushed his senses with the familiar pressure that only his older brother can bring. 

“I don’t want to know and I don’t care. Go home.”

@tofeelthecold​​ said: “ the real horror of my life is not that i’ve killed some terrible people . the real horror is that the people i’ve loved did not love me back . ” (From Damon)

Perhaps killing people for Hope, had never quite reached the level that it had for her family and for vampires like the Salvatores, but she understood that. What Hope didn’t understand, was the whole love thing. She’d had a thing for Roman, certainly, but the only man she’d ever felt she’d loved before was Landon, and he’d loved her back. “Living as long as you have...I mean that’s probably a given. You seem the type to give your heart out a lot.” She was definitely NOT that type at all.

tofeelthecold said: “i’m not mad.” (from Damon)

“You’re not? I mean... you’re not. Cool,” she replied, starting to put the whiskey bottle down but she hesitated, eyeing the glasses on the bar. Jutting her lips out, she gave a halfhearted shrug and reached for the glasses so she could pour one for herself and one for her uncle. "You’re not going to tell dad, right?” She asked, turning to offer him one of the bourbons. “Because if you tell him, he’s going to tell mom and it is your liquor cabinet so, I think we both know who’d be in more trouble...” She raised the glass to her lips but didn’t drink from it.

Lips quirked into a small smirk, and while the words made her feel warm, because they were sincerely meant, Bonnie could not let the moment pass quietly. “Are you giving me romantic advice? Is this where we’ve reached in our relationship?” A theatrical sigh as she shook her head. “What has my life come to? What has your life come to?”

@tofeelthecold​ | Greta & Damon

Greta was cleaning up and packing her things into her car after cheerleading practice. Gathering all her things, she walked out the door and almost immediately ran into someone. “ Oh! I’m sor- ” Her words were cut off by the smell and sight of blood coming from their neck. They stared at her blankly, clearly compelled. Shaking her head, she grabbed his hoodie and started walking with him around the parking lot, looking around for another vampire. 

After compelling him to walk to the hospital after an ‘animal attack’, she acted like she was going back inside. She had noticed a small trail of blood, so she ran to the source quickly and saw another vampire with dark hair and a leather jacket. “ Really? Is that your way of introducing yourself? ” Greta scoffed. “ Trying to get me to feed on a random human? ”

That is NOT Angel, Buffy inwardly reminded herself for the millionth time as she listened to the conversation between Bonnie and Stefan, the boy Elena had started seeing.  Buffy had already met him once. He was nice, but the resemblance between him and Buffy's old boyfriend was uncanny.

In fact, the more Buffy thought about it, this was the third thing in Elena's life that paralleled hers back in Sunnydale. The first was that she lived in a town full of vampires (which was why Giles encouraged Buffy to stay in Mystic Falls) and the second was that her best friend might be a witch. Buffy shrugged it off at first, but when Not Angel walked through the door and she heard about an “animal attack” at a party Elena and Jeremy were, she started to worry.

Buffy did her best to keep this part of her life from Jenna, Elena, and Jeremy. So far, she had successfully kept the fact that she was a slayer and that she went out every night to fight monsters from them.  If they knew, they would automatically be dragged into this part of her life and she didn’t want that for them. Especially not for Elena and Jeremy. They were still in high school. They shouldn't be worrying about vampires crashing Parent-Teacher night, swim team monsters, or devil dogs at the prom.

But, Buffy was worrying for nothing. There was no way her cousin’s new boyfriend was a vampire. He went to school with her and apparently, he had just made the football team, who practiced in an open field in the sunlight. A vampire couldn’t do that. Just because Stefan bore a resemblance to Angel didn’t mean he was a vampire. This was all in her head, right?

"What do you think, Buffy?" Stefan interrupted her thoughts. "I'm sorry, what?" Buffy was a bit embarrassed. "Witches, cool or not cool?" Elena prompted her. Buffy smiled. "My best friend is a witch," she said. "And she's pretty cool." Her smile faltered for a second after mentioning Willow. She missed her. She missed everyone. "I think that settles it," Elena turned her attention back to Bonnie. "Witches are awesome."

The doorbell rang making the blonde jump a bit. “Were you expecting anyone else?” she asked Elena. “No?” Elena got up and answered the door. "Surprise!" Buffy heard the voice of Caroline, another one of Elena's friends. "Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert." When a male voice spoke, Stefan immediately stood up and walked to the door. "Who's that?" Buffy asked Bonnie. "Stefan's brother, Damon," Bonnie answered. "We're just finishing up," Stefan was saying, barely hiding the distain in her voice. Buffy sighed and stood up. She could feel the tension from the kitchen.

"Everything okay?" Buffy asked as she entered the front hall. Her eyes immediately locked with ice-blue irises belonging to someone a little taller than her. Evidently, Stefan failed in driving his brother away. This guy was gorgeous, but his eyes made him look like a demon, specifically an incubus. It made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Buffy, hi!" Caroline pushed past the elder brother and hugged the other blonde and then turned her attention back to him. "Damon, this is Buffy," she said. "She's Elena's cousin from California." Buffy managed a small smile in Damon's direction. "Hi," she said. "Just to recap: I'm Buffy."

"The PR nightmare for me would only last until my brother gets caught at another underage party," Finn rolled his eyes emphatically. Owen had basically gone crazy now that he wasn't living at home, yet he was still the favored child. "Somehow, he does all this crazy shit and causes a huge fucking mess, but I'm the disappointment. Me, the one that toed the line and did fucking everything Dad wanted for years."

He heaved a heavy sigh before finishing his drink again. He pushed it out to the bartender for another refill. He may have said he should lay off the drink, that didn't mean he was going to if his companion was going to not be judgemental about it. "Here's to being a black sheep," he said blandly, raising his refilled glass in a toast.

lordofthegoldenflower​:

“Pshaw, tell them I proposed it,” Finn offered with a laugh. He waved over the bartender to get a refill of his whiskey. It was easy to give her a charming smile before returning his full attention to Damon. “I can see the headlines now. ‘Millionaire heir to international business magnate insults town with insensitive suggestion’. Imagine the scandal, the emotion I’d get.”

He let out a heavy breath, sipping from his glass this time. “Sorry. Maybe I should back off the alcohol for a bit. Mixing it with having to talk to Dad before this just makes me a jaded asshole.”

“I wouldn’t do that to you,” Damon chuckled as he looked at Finn. “I’m not going to throw you under the bus in this town when they do that enough with their own citizens and the town folk lore,” he smirked as he sipped his own drink. “The PR nightmare that would happen for everyone involved,” he smirked.

“I’m not going to judge you based on the amount of alcohol you drink, that would make me a hypocrite. “Parents can be rough, you’re allowed to be a jaded asshole, I’m not going to judge you for it.”

she spots the sign for the bar almost immediately upon entering the quarter - good old New Orleans. after everything Klaus had told her, Hayley had left Mystic Falls nearly right away and made her way to the Crescent City. with a fresh lead on where she might find something about her family or where she came from - the wolf set off towards the bar. jazz poured through the streets, the scent of a dozen different rich foods hitting her nose, made her stomach grumble. but she kept her course to the bar, pushing the doors open and stepping inside. the atmosphere inside was loud as well - most bars were - she makes her way straight to the bar and slides onto one of the stools, smiling at the bartender. when the woman comes over to her and shrugs out of her jacket and rests it on the back of the chair, not noticing the man sitting beside her glance over in her direction. “Can I get a beer?” the woman nodded and turned to grab one for her before sliding it over to the brunette.
