It was enough to make the original choke, and freeze in her tracks. "you what?"
Tumblr media
Rebekah knew this day had been coming, nobody could have told her when or how soon. She'd been silently dreading it all the same and now her world was crashing all over again but she was not about to let history repeat itself. "I'm sorry" she shook herself off and crouched down to Ally's level. "are you sure it was her? and where did you see her?".

Taken by Dahlia verse:
When Alyssa was 16 months old Dahlia came for her and as promised, took Alyssa to raise as her own. She was able to take her for, Finn had Klaus, Elijah and Kol trapped in his prison. Rebekah and Freya were in the Asylum. Leaving just Damon to protect Alyssa. So when they were out for a walk in the woods, due to being constantly cooped up in the safe house. Dahlia was able to take the baby, by snapping Damon's neck, leaving Ally defenseless.
Dahlia thought that by taking her as a baby, that she wouldn't be able to remember her parents and family and therefore not attempt to leave her. She was wrong, because thanks to Ally's vampire side, her memory is stronger and sharper than that of a normal baby. Allowing her to remembers a blonde woman's smell and voice of her singing and the smell of a man with raven hair and is almost completely certain that they are her parents.
As Alyssa grew, she quickly became Dahlia's worst student, for she was always trying to escape to find her family, more than whatever Freya had attempted, regardless of the consequences that fell on her every time. For she knew Dahlia would not kill her, as she needed her magic and immortality to be powerful and live forever.
Now at the age of 18 she has escaped yet again, with one mission, find her family and get away from Dahlia for good.

being in a secret relationship with an idol wasn’t so easy as you were stuck in the four confines of your room, occupied with studies and yujin on his run around the world doing various promotions and practices to secure his position as a qualified idol. but even in amidst of all you two survive on eachother, comforting and strengthing one another, keeping eachother alive from this hell of a life and healing the wounded souls of one another beacause everything's okay on nights where he sneaks into your room and you take a break for him.
❛ i might need you or I'll break ˳ ⋆

Wish AU: Part 5 (AKA the part with At All Costs)
Asha tells Star to hide, and they shapeshift into a small animal to hide inside of one of Asha's satchels. Magnifico and his soldier forcefully enter houses in the hamlet and ransack them in search of Star, claiming that someone in the area is hiding a dangerous force that threatens the safety of the kingdom and their wishes. This scene is supposed to show Magnifico's true disdain for the lower-class citizens as he bullies and tosses them around with no care at all about them going so far as to threaten to burn the entire area down if no one comes forward. Asha and Star both share a concerned glance but both know they can't give the other up, but Asha speaks up to say how poorly the royals have treated those in the hamlet. Suddenly Dahlia speaks out, inspired by Asha's words, about how poorly the hamlet citizens are treated and taken advantage of. This angers Magnifico so greatly that he starts insulting Dahlia's crutch condition (maybe even knocking the crutch out from under her just to really play up the villain factor) then heavily implying that he will hurt her for information before other citizens begin to stand up to him and start fighting back after Star slyly starts some kind of commotion to keep the army at bay as Asha and Star both ride off into the forest, Asha saying a quick but heartfelt goodbye to her family. Asha looks back as her home is now the scene of a riot with fire.
Now far on an oceanside cliff overlooking the kingdom of Rosas, Asha finally breaks down and cries about how all of this is her fault and how her wish has only caused misery and unfortune for those she loves. She starts putting herself down before Star stops her. Star can't bear to see Asha in this state and after a brief think stares directly at Asha. The camera cuts back to Asha in her sad state as we hear off in the distance "If happiness was a tangible thing, it would be you.". Asha looks surprised and turns around to see Star with their eyes closed looking at the ground. "Star?" Asha says blown away that the silent Star is not only talking but singing. Star keeps singing but now he's looking up and straight at her "If you'd told me the feeling you'd bring, I'd think it untrue".
If happiness was a tangible thing, it would be you
"Star?" Asha says blown away that the silent Star is not only talking but singing. Star keeps singing but now he's looking up and straight at her
If you'd told me the feeling you'd bring, I'd think it untrue And people search for a wonder like you all of their lives
Star is tracing the stars back to Asha, they then smile You still amaze me after all this time
You pull me in like some kind of wind Mesmerized by the hold I'm in Leave you here, I don't wanna I wanna
Star brings her close to him as he extends his hand out to her ala Aladdin and Jasmine. Asha takes Star's hand as they lead her gently into the air as Star sings
Love you, as one does
Asha floats into the air being lead by Star. She is briefly frightened before looking at Star who is singing
I, I will protect you at all costs Keep you safe here in my arms I, I will protect you at all costs At all costs
Star is now leading her in a gentle waltz amongst a clear and stary night
What's pain when I look at you No way I could explain you Even if I tried to I'll never dream like I used to do If someone tried to hurt you I don't see how that could happen I'd fight for you in ways you can't imagine
Felt this? No, I haven't I hope it would be alright to Stay right here beside you
Asha at one point during her verse gently caresses Star's face (who is still leading her in the stary waltz), causing the star blush a golden glow
Star and Asha now sing to each other
And love you, as one does I, I will protect you at all costs Keep you safe here in my arms I, I will protect you at all costs At all costs
Star and Asha land near the forest and Star leads Asha on a fun chase through the forest where there will be a visual nod to Pocahontas scene where John and Pocahontas run through a forest before Star leads her to spacious clearing.
If you're ever feeling like you're lost, I'll come find you Man all fronts There's no ocean I won't swim across to be right by you And not just once Here and now, I swear on my response I'll remind you
Star then makes a grand display of his powers before he lands in front of Asha to lead her in a Beauty and the Beast style dance surrounded by Star's golden magic
And promise, as one does I, I will protect you at all costs Keep you safe here in my arms I, I will protect you at all costs At all costs
As the song comes to an end both are now touching forehead to forehead.
Asha thanks Star for all that they have done but Star gestures that it is really Asha who has done so much for everyone. The two then make their way to Rosas as we would implement the "To Rosas" deleted scene where Asha and Star must escape Amaya and her forces, this time with Star being a mute. Asha, Star and Valentino escape Amaya's forces as the trio leaps off a cliff and into the ocean below with Star forming a magic safety bubble around them before turning into a dolphin to get Asha and Valentino into Rosas.
Writer's notes: I had forgotten that this was where I had put At All Costs and once i realized that I knew that I had to make sure this came out how I liked it.
At All Costs, for this version at least, is the song the movie is building to. This is the movie's "Beauty and the Beast" "I See the Light" and "A Whole New World". This is what cements Star and Asha as a couple to the audience.

Beck: Verses: Hogwarts (In Depth Version)
I wrote this before but it felt a little too vague. Ok that and I can't actually find where I wrote it out before on here. So...here I am, at it again.
In any Wizarding World/Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter verses, Beck's kind of witches are still their own separate sort of witches. They have their own lineages, societies, schools, ways of life, and understanding of magic which can, at times, be at odds with that of the Wizarding World. They originated separately and have remained estranged for thousands of years; however they are aware of one another. Occasionally Bregða Witches (what my witches call themselves) do marry wizards or witches from the WW. If you have any questions about how I handle this, we can talk it out. I don't want to favor my lore over anyone else's, I just don't want to give it up entirely. It does shape who my characters are.
Beck's timeline shifts a bit in this verse.
She and Fen are still the children of the leaders of two old and powerful Bregða clans, the Wolves and the Foxes. Power in these clans is passed down through birth right, but since Beck was born into the priesthood, she cannot inherit the political possition of either of her parents. Her father still dies when she's six from an incurable magical ailment. Fenris, at age seven, is forced to take on his father's role as clan leader (though his mother technically rules through him).
Her paternal grandparents become extremely distraught over the loss of their only son, and in their anguish, Beck's mother cuts them off entirely. She takes Beck and her brother Fenris to Sweden to live with her mother for a year, only to flee when Linnea Tandy starts to get angry with the mistreatment of her grandchildren.
At this point, Beck starts to refuse to answer to her birthname Dahlia Adelaida, and demands to be called Beck by everyone but her brother, Fen. Fenris will always refer to her by her middle name Adelaida or Addie.
Beck and Fen are on their own from this point on. They're each doing whatever it takes to survive their mother. For Beck, that's running away. She's desperately trying to escape to the wilderness where her mother can't hurt her, and her mother is constantly dragging her back because Beck's constant attempts to flee embarrass her. Eventually, in an attempt to break her daughter from ever running again, Elea kills Beck's familiar, Dawnbreaker, when she's about ten years old. Dawn was a piece of Beck's soul, as all familiars are for my witches, and she was also the closest thing Beck had to a maternal figure. The loss of her almost kills Beck. She stops eating, she spends all hours of the day pacing her room until she collapses from exhaustion.
Fenris, who was always extremely close with his sister, becomes enraged. He's allowed his mother to use him as a puppet and while he's terrified to lose anyone else, even someone as vile as their mother, he believes he must choose between his sister and his mother. He chooses Beck. Killing a familiar is a high crime. Killing your child's familiar is punishable by death. Fenris demands his own mother's head. He calls for her to be killed in the same way she killed Dawnbreaker a few months prior. His maternal grandmother, Linnea, supports his bid, and Elea Tandy is hanged for her crimes.
Beck and Fenris are taken to live with Linnea on the Tandy Estate, but it is clear that nothing is really helping Beck. She's still restless, she still has to be coaxed to eat anything, her magic is extremely unpredictable. Fenris isn't doing much better after executing his own mother and finding that it didn't save his sister. Linnea is extremely distraught and desperate enough to do just about anything to help her grandchildren.
Their aunt Rob drops in for a visit a couple of months later with her wife, a witch from the Wizarding World who graduated from Hogwarts with fine memories of the place. She suggests sending the children there in hopes that the change of scenery, the challenges of learning new ways of magic, and the team of professional educators might help the two heal. Linnea, in her desperation, tears through centuries of estrangement and concocts a plan. She has the money, the influence, and the power to make things happen. She contacts the Minister of Magic, then Dumbledore. Money changes hands, promises are made, and Beck and Fenris are accepted to Hogwarts under the guise of a start of a new political arrangement between the Bregða and the Wizarding World.
They enter the school a few months later. Fen is allowed to join the second years despite being a year behind, and Beck is placed into Harry and Co's class. They are both sorted into Slytherin, but for extremely different reasons.
Fenris fits in almost right away. He's smart, relentless, dedicated, and there is always a looming threat of violence that his classmates come to respect in that first year. He's juggling leading the Wolf Clan and studying at Hogwarts, and clearly very used to power. Fenris is a deathly serious person who knows how to spot weak spots and cut into them.
Beck is a fish out of water. Hogwarts is completely foreign, and feels more like a cage than anything else. She is still weak from the death of her familiar, and she has to come clean to several of the professors about her inability to read. Dumbledore is kind enough to provide accommodations like special quills that automatically write her thoughts when she holds them or books that will read aloud to her when she's in private. Still, she has no friends, no real desire to be around people at all, and is deeply traumatized from years of abuse.
In the summer following her first year, Beck finds her familiar Habrok/Grani. A sun spirit that takes the form of either a horse (Grani) or a red tailed hawk (Habrok). She convinces Dumbledore to let her bring him to Hogwarts in hawk form, saying that there isn't much difference between that and an owl. His company makes her second year more tolerable, but she's still struggling to fit in. Most of the teachers, Snape especially, have little tolerance for Beck's energetic nature. She spends a lot of time scrubbing cauldrons in detention, but she doesn't particularly mind. That Christmas, she is given a small black kitten that she names Angrboða and over the next several months, the kitten becomes Beck's second and final familiar.
Third year is easier, Boða doesn't share Beck's dyslexia, and as she gains sentience, she learns to read. The only problem is the cat's body responds to the magical bond a little too---vigorously. Boða is enormous. She grows to the size of a lynx within a few short months. Unlike Beck, who tends to be gentle and kind and friendly even in her suffering, Angrboða is vicious and highly protective of her witch. The constant harassment her fellow Slytherins heap on her decreases significantly under the threat of being mauled by a large feline. And yet, Beck still mostly minds her own business. She spends her free time in animal forms, sneaking into the forest behind the castle. Her grades are fairly poor, but outside of the classroom, in the depths of the woods, her true power shines.
She tries to run several times in her Hogwarts tenure. Each time her brother or her grandmother drags her back. A donation is made to the school, an excuse is made, and few of the students really notice. Fifth year she manages to escape for the longest period of time, and arrives at Hogwarts two weeks later than she was supposed to after being missing the whole summer and nearly dying from being mauled by a cougar. She gets in trouble often with Umbridge, but only ever serves detention with her once. Upon seeing her granddaughter maimed, Linnea Tandy made some very heavy threats to the Minister in order to remind him that she sent her grandchildren there to strengthen the bonds between their people. Umbridge leaves Beck alone for the most part, but the hatred between them is palpable.
Beck doesn't join Dumbledore's Army. In fairness to her, she isn't asked. None of the Slytherins are. It isn't like she has any real friends to speak of. Outside of class, Beck is a bit of a ghost. She is often seen from a distance, walking the fringes of the allowed student spaces or standing on the edge of the Black Lake. Even more often, she isn't seen at all.
She does greatly appreciate Hermione Granger's attempts to liberate house elves with S.P.E.W. but is too wary to outright approach her and actually voice that support.
In year six Beck finally finds a friend in Luna Lovegood. They're both a bit---peculiar to say the least, but in ways that tend to compliment one another. Beck makes a run for it when the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts.
Depending on our verse, it is up in the air whether or not Beck returns after Dumbledore is killed. But she DOES return regardless when the Battle for Hogwarts occurs. Normally she isn't a fighter/hero type, and she would rather stay away, but she does care about people and can't stand to do nothing in this particular instance. Rather than throw herself into the fray, Beck uses her power over animals and her knowledge of the forest to hide younger students deep in the woods where not even the Death Eaters dare roam. Those that do find their hiding spot, Beck is forced to kill in order to protect the students.
Beck is a bit of a terror in general. Once she recovers from Dawn's death, she slowly returns to her playful, hyperactive, gentle self, but being around so many people, especially so many people that dislike her, can turn that bouncy energy to frustration and make her a bit of a bitch. Professor Flintwick does take a liking to her. Beck joins the Frog Choir, and he comes to recognize that her magical talents are a bit---different and unorthodox after getting to see her more. He becomes a bit of a father figure over the years and usually it is Flintwick that the other professors call to rein her in if she's misbehaving, because he's the only one she properly listens to.
Finally: Beck still maintains her powers (the ability to shift into multiple animal forms, her influence/draw over animals, etc etc) and she's still a feral witch. She'll never be an extremely talented witch by traditional standards, but she has a lot of raw power that is specialized into a few areas that she's very very good at.
As Beck meets other muses/makes friends, she calms down. I wrote this out in kind of a "worst case scenario" format where Beck doesn't make many/any friends. She is skittish, but if people are nice to her she warms up very fast, and she's never outwardly cruel to anyone. She was placed into Slytherin a) because she was terrified to be separated from Fen in the beginning b) despite her dumb blonde act that she puts on, she is very clever and c) because she is ambitious, it is just---in a bit of a different way.

Can you tell us something about the people in the manicverse besides statictale
Sure thing! Do keep in mind that most of these concepts are still works in progress and are still prone to change.
Murder: A Toriel who had mistakenly killed a human during combat, however, this human wasn’t completely innocent, as they had killed several monsters prior to confronting Toriel. Anyways, after the deed was done, and the human was dead, Toriel found herself blinded by grief, however, with the comfort from Flowey, she took the flower’s advice to “grow stronger” to ensure that she’d be able to protect any other humans that fell into the Underground without using violence. Flowey always providing Toriel with the motivation she needed to finish what she had started as she begun her own Genocide.
Horror: Undyne had been ruling over the world of monsters ever since Asgore’s mysterious disappearance, however, things only continued to worsen for the monsters as time went on. A famine struck the entire Underground as the monsters struggled to survive. Many of the monsters had perished due to the lack of food. Undyne was one of the few to survive, and her ever lasting hunger slowly continued eating away at her mentality as well as morality. The sole things keeping Undyne herself were her sheer willpower and the revenge she wished to bring upon the humans.
Killer: A Sans from a previous Undertale timeline. Sans had been through countless genocides but of course never could remember them, the skeleton only having a vague sense of  déjà vu. However, during one of the many Genocide Routes, Frisk, or rather now Chara, had decided to confront Sans, offering the skeleton a deal, a deal that would ultimately change his life forever. Sans of course refused the deal at first, but through the simple tactic of breaking the little mentality he had left, Chara was able to persuade him. Once Sans had accepted the deal, all Sans had to do was absorb Chara's soul, which he did. With Frisk's vessel soulless, it collapsed to the floor, though Sans was no longer himself, yet instead, it was simply Chara in possession of Sans’ vessel.
Red: The Sans from the Alternate Universe RuinedTale, a Universe that seemingly resembles UnderFell. RuinedTale had taken in the remaining survivors who had survived StaticTale’s destruction, furthermore, Red is actually extremely close with Encryption. Red isn’t someone who should be angered, mainly due to his short temper and his love to throw a few punches.
Zenshia: A humanoid glitch that resides within a Dead Zone within the Database. She had formerly been a human, but after discovering a gateway into the Database and entering it, she begun to slowly grow more and more glitched, similar to how Geno did in the Anti-Void. Zenshia is probably one of the nicest entities within the entirety of the ManicVerse, as she tries to avoid conflicts all together. Another thing to note is that she’s close friends with Encryption, the skeleton probably being her only friend for that matter.
The Eidolons: A group of god-like entities that presumably help maintain all basic functions that help the verse exist. Examples of these being Life, Death, Chaos, Balance, Destruction, Knowledge, etc. Each Eidolon is essential to the continuation of the verse, as without them, all of the ManicVerse may come crashing down. These deities were also the ones to push the Eldrichments (the first race of demons within the verse, Dahlia actually being from this race of demons) back to The Hills, a location that resembles Hell itself.
These are really all the concepts I have planned out at the moment, but I do plan on working/adding more characters!

“Can we go out for lunch today?” ( to mama)
Tumblr media
Rebekah was surprised to hear the idea that her daughter wanted to go out, they'd been tucked away in their little bubble since they'd revealed their true identities and relations. She never wanted to let Alyssa out of her sight again, she was fearful that Dahlia could return, and find them if they weren't in the confines of the compound, but what kind of life would she be giving Ally. She'd been kept under a lock and key for the majority of her life. Forced to stay hidden alongside Dahlia, Rebekah would not enforce the same fate.
Tumblr media
So despite her own anxieties and fears, the original had agreed. "I think that's a lovely idea. Any particular dish in mind?"

REDACTED verse - Aggro makes everything better
Prompt: Any Fandom | Any Characters/Pairings | Taking a nap together on the couch
Word Count: 1,016
Author/Team: LadyMonotone
Fandom/Original: Redacted ASMR (Milo/Sweetheart with Aggro as a special cameo!) 
Rating: G
Triggers: NA
Summary: After a long day at work, what better way to unwind by cuddling with your pet cat? Oh, Milo can join too, Sweetheart's supposed. 
ConCrit: Y
Darling's oneshot was a little heavy on the angst, so I want to focus on writing something light and fluffy for this round! 
-
"Milo? I'm home!"
Sweetheart returns home when the late afternoon sun paints the dark aqua walls of the living room with a warm, orange tinge. As they closed the door behind them, the noises and chatters of the outside world tapered off. 
The silence of the apartment greets Sweetheart. 
"Huh. Guess Milo is still at work." Sweetheart murmurs and throws their keys into the bowl on top of the shoe racks before switching on the lights. 
Dahlia has been getting colder lately; time has moved them all into another season, Autumn. It might have taken another step into the future, but Sweetheart can't help feel as if they continue to remain in the past. 
Sweetheart idly putters around the apartment to let their thoughts run before texting Milo to let him know that they're home. 
So many things have happened in just half a year. 
After that whole ordeal with the Shade, Sweetheart's life intermingled with Milo until they became lovers, and it wasn't long before they moved in together. 
Sweetheart never thought domestic bliss suited them well. 
Meeting the Shaw Pack as well as the Mates of said Pack members had been an incredible experience. The Mates were very welcoming; especially Angel and Babe. They endeared themselves to Sweetheart very easily and quickly. 
So whenever their boys are having their Pack meeting, Angel would gather the Mates to the patio while Babe quickly whips up pots of tea, coffee and snacks for them to enjoy. 
During this little get-together, Sweetheart (and sometimes Sam) would be the star of the conversation. Since Angel and Babe are Non-Empowered humans, they love listening to Sweetheart's stories and adventures as a Magical Investigator of the Department. 
They're charming and kind people. The ones Sweetheart are grateful to have as friends. 
A low, sweet 'mreep' startle Sweetheart's musing; They blink and glance down on the floor. In the midst of wiping the dining table and kitchen counters, Aggro made himself known by weaving in between Sweetheart's long legs. Sweetheart smiles fondly when his tail wraps itself around their left leg. 
"Hey there, handsome. Are you hungry?" They coo at Milo's furbaby. 
Aggro meows loudly in confirmation before rushing towards his food and water bowls. When Sweetheart is too slow for his liking, he expectantly looks back and meow once more. 
"I'm coming, I'm coming," Sweetheart assures the cat and grab some cans of wet tuna from the upper cupboard. They crack the cans open and dump them all into the food bowl. 
Without any seconds to waste, Aggro dive in. For an elderly cat, he sure has an active appetite. 
And so, while Aggro is happily munching on his dinner, Sweetheart fills his near-empty bowl of water and finish up cleaning the rest of the kitchen. What should they have for dinner, they wondered. They got enough ingredients in the fridge to cook stir-fry noodles with veggies for four servings but would Milo be in a mood for something home cook? 
Today is their date night, but he might be running a little late to head out to their usual bistro. What with the preparations for the E&E Games and all. 
"I should probably text him if he has any plans tonight..." Sweetheart decided. They pad into the living room to wind down on the couch. 
The moment they sink into the couch, Aggro runs towards Sweetheart and jumps onto the couch too. Sweetheart giggles when the cat tentatively climbs onto their chest and settle himself comfortably on Sweetheart's stomach. 
"Will you hang out with me, Aggro?" Sweetheart asks while petting Aggro's head, their smile widens when the cat leans into their warm touch. Aggro slowly blink his eyes at Sweetheart and trills, much to their delight. Their voice drops to baby talk as they scratch underneath Aggro's chin. "You will!? Milo might call me his Sweetheart, but you're definitely mine, Aggro. Aww, who's a good kitty? You are, handsome!"
Cuddling with Aggro on the couch after a long day of work melts the tension and stress on Sweetheart's shoulders like butter in the middle of Summer. It helps that Aggro is such an even-tempered cat too. Some pets near the butt and a few rubs on his head make Aggro one happy Ragdoll. 
It's only when Aggro starts to yawn and curl himself into a loaf that Sweetheart begin to feel sleepy too. 
So after shooting a quick text to Milo, Sweetheart cuddles with Aggro a bit longer before sleep claims them both. 
After a whole afternoon napping with Aggro, Sweetheart wakes up to a gentle shake on their arm and an exhausted yet happy Milo leaning over them. "Hey, Sweetheart. Aggro keeping you company, huh?"
Said cat's ears and tail flickers in response but otherwise remain as a loaf of bread on Sweetheart's stomach. 
"Welcome home, Milo." Sweetheart sleepily greets Milo. When he leans closer for a kiss, they oblige him. 
"Thanks, Sweetheart." Milo's heart jumps, seeing how both his Mate and cat are so comfortable together. It's a wholesome sight to return home to. "Got your message a while back. Do you think you're still up to have our date night, or do you want to take a rain check?"
Sweetheart ponders for a moment. "I'm good. Give me a few hours to get change, and we can go." Sweetheart replies with a big yawn.
It isn't difficult for Milo to assume that his Mate had a long day. So an idea suddenly comes to him. "Scoot over. I want to join in on this cuddle session too."
While Sweetheart does as Milo requested, Aggro protests. He jumps away from them when Milo lies down on the couch beside his Mate; it's a tight fit, but they manage. Especially after he wraps his arms around Sweetheart and pulls them close to his chest. 
"We still got some time before the dinner rush sets in the bistro," Milo explains as they snuggle; he loves when Sweetheart starts to hum in content. "We can nap for half an hour, and then it's date night, OK?"
"Sounds like a plan."

DCtober Prompts 15-21
15. Flight 16. Animal 17. City 18. Food 19. Ending 20. Family 21. Merch
15) Jayn can glide for a few feet if she controls the water vapor surrounding her while she's already in midair (usually as a consequence of jumping off of a building). Rose can fly using a couple of different spells, but she only does so if she really needs to. She prefers using the portals she creates, since she finds them to be more accurate in terms of direction. 16) Jayn loves cats and dogs equally. Really, she likes any animal she can safely cuddle with. She always feels weird when people talk about her hydrokinesis and the ocean, because the very real fear of getting eaten whole by a shark has definitely crossed her mind. Stray cats and dogs tend to follow Rose, just like they do her father, John Constantine. It's unclear if they do so because they sense their supernatural essence, or because they simply like the magicians.
17) Jayn's favorite city (even though there's only one city on the island) is Themyscira. Bruce initially sent her to spend spring break there as a teen, after she'd nervously come out as bisexual. He hoped she would become more comfortable with her identity. She would spend every spring break there until she was 15, then she'd visit on occasion. Jayn loves getting to train with warriors in a place where real war/conflict won't happen. (She also likes the kindness and the strong, gorgeous women who bathe nude, but that's her business.)
Rose isn't religious, but she thinks most old churches are beautiful. Sometimes she'll go see one just to appreciate it, inside and out.
18) For someone who attends fancy dinners at least once a month (and that's not counting weekend dinners cooked by Alfred), Jayn strongly dislikes steak. It always tastes like ash sprinkled on meat. Rose is a vegan (sometimes vegetarian). She became one after seeing one too many blood sacrifices. 19) Jayn's fairly sure she'll die on the job in 10, maybe 15 years. Her family will resurrect her, then she'll die a couple years after that. She hopes her mom says she's proud of her when they meet. (Little does Jayn know, her mother is actually alive, forced to work for CADMUS).
Rose takes one day at a time, using drinking and yoga to deal with all the horrible things she's seen and suffered. She knows that Hell is real & thinks Heaven is more of a mystery that almost no one can enter due to it's ruler's attitude.
20) Jayn's family in her DCU verse includes: her friend and sometimes crush Rye (an OC by @ashortgothamite ), Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, Dahlia Loren (her mom), and anyone else that Bruce has ever raised/taken in. Biologically, she's related to his son Damian (her half-brother) and his cousin Kate (her second cousin).
Rose still tries to contact her mom and stepfather's extended families, but it's kind of awkward when you went from regularly seeing them during the holidays to calling every now and then. She doesn't physically visit them because she knows how often entities target the Constantines' loved ones. Kent and Inza Nelson pretty much raised Rose as their own once she started living in the Tower of Fate (for about 10 years before she began adventuring), so she sees them as her friendly uncle and aunt. Zatanna's also a mentor figure. Rose wants to get to know her father John, but...it's hard to. He avoids her because he thinks he'll get her killed. Rose goes to her parents' graves on Christmas and their birthdays.
21) Gotham City is the only city in the US where superhero conventions are illegal. And during Halloween, no one gives out candy unless they have some kind of gun.
There isn't any merch to celebrate Rose or her dad (barring a porno she unfortunately saw the title of, if that even counts). Rose's favorite Justice Leaguer as a kid was Superman (she had a red cape), but as an adult, it's the whole Green Lantern Corps (she thinks space cops who wield creativity as a superpower are the coolest, even though Earth cops aren't her favorite).
DCtober Prompts 1&2
Heroic
Friendship
Jayn is based in Gotham City, one of the only cities in the world where cosplay is banned. Even if I’m not RPing a ship w/him, Jayn’s best friend in the DC Universe is almost always going to be Jason Todd.
Rose definitely looks up to Zatanna, John Constantine, and Doctor Fate, but her favorite DC superhero is probably Raven or the Flashes. She had to leave all her friends behind when she lost her parents & John took her to the Tower of Fate to be mentored/protected.

Atsuhiro Sako ღ Mr Compress x Reader:
[A/N]: This is a female reader, but I'm not sure how explicit my reasoning is in the story.
-----
Upon the desk lay flowers pressed and kept, accessories to the letters from which you couldn't escape. Surrendering them to earth or flame had been an endeavour of herculean proportion, and each time, your heart had wavered. How could such things be destined for destruction? In them, were written verses so impassioned by romance, that all who read them would surely swoon. And each flower had a meaning, for he understood their language like a scholar understands his discipline. Heliotrope was a declaration of eternal love and devotion, whilst a Red Camellia stood for love and passion. He gave you a Yarrow for lasting love, and a Honeysuckle for your bond. But, the final flower...you loathed to dwell on its meaning.
A Purple Hyacinth. It conveyed an apology, a mind fraught with regret...it asked for forgiveness, but how could you forgive a man of such iniquity? His reign over your heart had been plagued by deceit. But you yourself had been plagued by a graver poison, an ailment most foul, though the layman might stoop to call it love. It was love, but it was also pain and sorrow. Such desperate pain and sorrow.
Your tear-clouded gaze fell forthwith upon a letter.
My darling, your beauty could never be dulled by moonlight, and is only made more desirable by daylight. It yields to no force, natural or otherwise. It remains, and will forever. I will never tire of looking upon it, though for this, I admit I may be admonished. It is such a worthy distraction, but in my field, distractions are rarely tolerated. Know that I apologise with a sincerity that cannot be measured.
- A.S
He wrote with the grace and eloquence of a thousand poets, and at every word, you wept. You couldn't linger on them, although you wished to, or love's splendid doctrine would burden you with hope. But there was no hope, neither of reunion nor of replication with another. You were bound, loyal only to the memories of your lost love. He wasn't dead, but simply...gone. He walked out of your life so easily, as though the plot had, for aye, been beyond a hatchling. You understood nothing. You still felt so lost. Why couldn't love be straightforward? The despair, the dependency...
You clung to those letters, and the heartache they incurred.
Your lips seem a most desirable perch, and I would rest there for eternity, if you allowed.
- A.S
Beside that letter, decorated with the splashes of manifest sorrow, lay another, written by your hand. In the advent of your courtship, you had exchanged many, though of a much merrier tone. This one...he had never received it, for you had never sent it. By the hour of its conception, he was long gone.
I wanted to believe in you. But I was scared. I was so scared! What would they have done to you, if I was captured? How else had you deceived me? Had anything been true, or had I merely been victim to the folly of romance, of an ideal that could never touch reality? Why had you kept from me everything of importance? Why had you hidden your truth? I blame you, wholeheartedly, for my pain. But it was so hard not to apologise, when I'm sorry for everything. The day I lost you, I lost my world...I lost the part of me that made me whole.
- (Y/n)
His was a cowardly departure, unequivocally driven by fear - he had always taken such careful steps to ensure that home and work remained separate, never intertwining. But when all was revealed, he feared retribution, feared the consequence of his own duplicity. So rather than facing you, he fled. He understood the cravenness of the act, but it wasn't something he could help. Not when you finally knew the real him. His most authentic self, although a source of pride, could never be loved. You weren't of equal conviction. You had no dormant streak of villainy. You were so pure of heart, and so gentle of practice. You couldn't be tied to a liesmith, or force-fed a dogma of drivel. Atsuhiro had some morals, even if you were the only beneficiary. He couldn't have predicated your descent into this melancholy longing. Or, perhaps he hadn't wished to consider it. Had the thought chased away the mistress of somnolence, he never would've have been able to stave off his return.
But oh, he wished to return to you, to relive every shiver of romance...to not feel quite so alone. He couldn't, of course. Not given current circumstances, and with the near-decimation of an entire populace.
Deika City played host to his body, but his heart had never left yours. He missed everything - the eyes that devoted themselves to him, that giddy, love-struck smile when he first called your name, and the night you had thanked him for never forgetting it. He heard your name in every love song, and your voice on the wind. He saw your face on every woman, and on every lover, he saw the happiness that he had sacrificed.
May I compare thee to a Dahlia in full bloom? I assume you are familiar with this flower, as a perfect reflection of your grace and strength. Of the latter, that required to grant me access to your most genuine self...it is incomparable. You are incomparable. You are beautiful, and so unequivocally you. I will forever be thankful that you chose to share with me such delicate insight. I swell with pride at the thought of you, and I pray that one day, your mind will allow you that same feeling. You are more than deserving of pride, and of love for yourself. Until then, I promise to love and to cherish you, as if with the hearts of a thousand men.
- A.S
If a single hope, or a dream, could ever reach the stars, then the spirits of love would hasten to reconcile your union. But you were closed to astral influence, and knew nothing of prayers. His alone were inadequate. And although you beheld the same sky, although you gazed at the same heavens...you never found your missing pieces. The stars offered nothing but a torturous truth: that you would never find each other, no matter the breadth of your search.
Oh, curse the wretchedness of love!

RAISED BY DAHLIA.
This verse is a what if that follows the events of Hope’s life if she had been taken from her home by Dahlia because of Esther’s deal.  This is headcanoned and takes liberties that we haven’t seen from Dahlia like members of a greater coven and such. Want to interact with this verse?   COMMENT ON THIS POST OR LIKE THE POST. 
Much like Freya the childhood was not happy one. Hope spent a lot of her childhood isolated aside from a few children that were sought out for their special skills by Dahlia to play with her   ( or in this case be ruled by them ).
Dahlia had learned a lot from Freya and kept a tight leash on her but did allow a small amount of freedom with some people that where followers of Dahlia’s beliefs. The whole thing was small and confined to the woods and the people often moved every few years.  
Dahlia had started to build a following on the down low and thus was planning for bigger and better things.  It was not a following that was all be natural leadership but sheer force and manipulation.  Dahlia forced a smaller camp to become hers with threat of death of their children.
Hope’s lived in three different countries  (that she remembers) all by the time that she was eighteen years of age.  
Hope knew of her family’s last name but assumed that she was not wanted.  Since she has no solid memories of her father besides glimpses and saw the one she deemed her mother just give her away  (to her rightful mother)  it did make sense in her head.  Hope had no reason to disbelieve anything that was said to her on this front.
Hope refers to Dahlia as her aunt/mother often.  It depends on in what content and the day as she called Dahlia her mother to her face but Aunt in the silence of the night.
The abuse that she faced was physical / emotional.  It wasn’t every single day or anything.  Hope can remember distinct good times between them where Dahlia was kinder than normal for periods of time to lull the girl into a false sense of security. Not gonna go into much detail about the abuse faced in this post
HOPE’S LIFE   ( MAJOR EVENTS )   .
Birth of Hilda  ( Astra )     ;    Hope’s quidbrid daughter.  Hope’s child is a Banshee  (inherited by the father’s mother).  It wasn’t love and it wasn’t much of anything besides a fling.  Hope was 18 and a half at this time.  The father was a follower of Dahlia’s that was newer and killed off before Hope could gather any real emotional attachments to him.
Kidnapping of Hope   ;     Hope was eight months old with little memories of her parents.  In fact,  she has more memories of Rebekah Mikaelson  ( who her mind had assumed was her mother based off snapshots )  than her actual mother.  Hope didn’t get to spend but a little time in the surroundings of her true parents before tragedy turned..
The rescue    ;   the details can be adjusted but for the most part I’m gonna assume that someone from the group dared to take a grab for power and put the Mikaelson family on the trial by making enough of a mass death that followed that seemed like Dahlia’s style.

Niklaus Mikaelson; Muse Info
Tumblr media
Full.Name;  ᚾᛁᚲᛚᚨᚢᛋ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ - Niklaus Mikaelson Nickname; Klaus FC; Joseph Morgan Gender; Male Pronouns; He/Him Status; Single Sexuality; Bisexual Age; 1034+ D.o.B; Mar. 25 984 Occupation; Artist Residence; New Orleans Species; Hybrid Hierarchy; King Verses; Hearts On Fire  Biography/Timelines; Niklaus Mikaelson (Elder Futhark: ᚾᛁᚲᛚᚨᚢᛋ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ) was the main protagonist (and sometimes antagonist/anti-hero) of The Originals. He was a former main character, antagonist/anti-hero of The Vampire Diaries. Klaus was an Original vampire and a werewolf, making him the Original Hybrid. Klaus was the biological son of Ansel and Esther Mikaelson, the step-son of Mikael, and nephew of Dahlia. Klaus is the maternal younger half-brother of Freya, Finn, Elijah, and the maternal older half-brother of Kol, Rebekah and Henrik Mikaelson. Klaus was the uncle of Freya and Mathias' unborn son and Freya and Keelin's son, Nik. Klaus is the father of hope, whose mother is Hayley, and the adopted father of Marcel Gerard, an orphan boy he rescued and eventually turned into a vampire. Klaus was first mentioned in the second season of The Vampire Diaries in Rose, during a conversation between Rose and Stefan Salvatore. Rose warns Stefan about the Original Vampires which led to Elena Gilbert believing Klaus was the oldest vampire in history. Elijah later mentions that Klaus is a recluse and trusts very few people, usually only in his inner circle. For over a thousand years, Klaus had been trying to break a curse placed on him. He created the myth of the sun and moon curse in order to find the moonstone and the Petrova Doppelgänger, both of which were needed to break the actual curse. His goal was to liberate his werewolf side so he could sire his own super species of werewolf-vampire hybrids. In 1492, he finally got the chance to break his curse when he met Katerina Petrova, the final piece necessary to break the curse. However, Katerina managed to foil his plan to use her in the sacrifice by turning into a vampire. For the next 500 years, Klaus searched for a way to break the curse without the doppelgänger, forcing generations of witches to help him. During his search for a way to break the curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized them. He also hunted Katerina, who had escaped him and stolen his moonstone. However, it should also be noted that he was also on the run from his step-father, Mikael, as Klaus had an abusive childhood. Besides his family, during the 1920's, Klaus formed a strong bond and brotherly relationship with Stefan. He then met with the vampire, Caroline Forbes, and starts to care about her, eventually falling in love with her and tried to win her love, and after a long time they were friends. In New Orleans, he had a father/son bond relationship with Marcel whom he works with in ruling New Orleans until Klaus discovered his treachery for bringing Mikael to New Orleans. They reformed their friendship when Marcel saved his daughter and they worked together to bring down their enemies. He also cared for the bartender Camille O'Connell, with whom he had fallen in love before her death. Klaus was primarily a member of the Mikaelson Family, and a member of an unnamed Family of Werewolves. He was connected to the Labonair Family, a royal werewolf family via his daughter, and a member of the North East Atlantic Pack as well as an unnamed Witch Family. Human Life; Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 10th Century; Niklaus Mikaelson was born to Esther and Ansel in a small village that would eventually become known as Mystic Falls, but was raised by his step-father Mikael, both believing he was his true father. Niklaus has six half-siblings fathered from his step-father Mikael, a Viking warrior and wealthy landowner who moved with his wife, Esther, to the New World after their home village was devastated by a plague. Mikael believed his beloved first born daughter Freya was a victim of it, not knowing she was taken by Esther's sister Dahlia as payment for a fertility spell to let Esther have children. Klaus was close to his family with the exception of Mikael. Mikael was inordinately hard on Klaus, having become an aggressive, violent, and strict man after he thought Freya died, always trying to teach his children to survive so he would not lose another child. In Klaus' case, Mikael was abusive to him for his impulsive and reckless behavior, justifying that his punishments would make Klaus stronger, but Mikael was only ever disappointed in everything Klaus did and beat him repeatedly throughout his mortal life. Elijah said that, as a mortal, Klaus was full of love and wanted to be loved in return. After becoming an Original Vampire and werewolf hybrid upon triggering his werewolf gene, his amplified temper and emotions, along with the psychological damage of Mikael's cruelty, turned Klaus into a violent and cruel person, much like his step-father Mikael. Many years before, his mother had an affair with a man from their neighboring village, whose inhabitants were known to be werewolves, men who transformed into wolves on the night of a full moon. Once as kids, Elijah takes Niklaus into the woods to teach him how to hunt. Elijah encourages his brother, stating that his aim has been improving, when he misses a shot; however, Mikael intervenes and scolds Elijah for encouraging his brother and snatches the bow from Niklaus, stating that he wasn't man enough to hold a weapon. Niklaus tries to apologize, but Mikael sees him as a weakling and starts kicking him. Elijah tries to stop his father from hurting his brother but he is scared off by Mikael who stated that if Elijah intervened he would be next. He was once beaten, half to death, as a boy, when his father's blades went missing. In the days following the incident, Rebekah was particularly kind to him, which Klaus later realized meant that she had been the one to take them. Niklaus and all his siblings used to play in the woods when they were kids, showing they all loved each other dearly. He even stayed awake, to comfort a scared Rebekah by holding her hand during a stormy night, and giving her a carved wooden knight, which he made for his father, stating that it will protect her, something that he has kept safely to this date as memento of his childhood. Esther found a young Klaus in the woods once when he was hiding from Mikael, as Mikael wanted to bring him along to hunt, but Niklaus was afraid to go with Mikael. He was afraid so she gave him a necklace which he believed would protect him and remind him that Esther will be with him always and forever. A few years later, Mikael hurt Klaus in the woods during a fight between them, with Klaus starting the fight by believing that if he beat his father once, Mikael would show his approval to Klaus. Esther helped Klaus to heal. Klaus told her about the fight and that Mikael wanted to take his necklace she gave him. In Every Mother's Son, Klaus found out that the necklace made him weak, not strong. Because of Esther's spell, Klaus was weakened and his anger suppressed as she didn't want him to be strong, kill somebody and trigger the werewolf gene. This would reveal that Klaus was not Mikael's son, and she feared Mikael would kill them for her unfaithfulness and betrayal. Both Niklaus and Elijah were in love with Tatia, even though she had a child with her husband who died in battle. They both vied for her attention and even had arguments and traded blows over her. She eventually chose to be with Elijah. Centuries later, Elijah finally told Niklaus he killed Tatia. Niklaus was very angry with Elijah over this, but he chose to forgive him. They later found out that Tatia's blood was used for the Immortality Spell placed on them, being the doppelganger of Amara, the world's first Immortal woman, as her blood was a powerful tool for a witch's spells. Niklaus was once flogged by Mikael severely for taking his knife to carve chess pieces. When Elijah comes in and tries to stop his father from beating Niklaus to death, he gets pushed back. Rebekah then intervenes by threatening to kill their father with a sword if he doesn't stop beating Niklaus. Mikael snatches the sword from Rebekah and leaves in a rage. When Niklaus and his brother Henrik went to see the wolves transform, Henrik was killed by one of the transformed werewolves. Devastated at the loss of another child, Mikael convinced Esther to use her magic to protect their remaining children. Upon Mikael's request, Esther performed a spell, called The Immortality Spell, which transformed Niklaus, his siblings, and his step-father into Original Vampires, the first vampire's to exist, and progenitors to the vampire species. When Niklaus made his first human kill, his werewolf gene was activated and he became a vampire and werewolf hybrid, thus revealing Esther's infidelity. Soon after becoming a Hybrid, Mikael had Elijah help him restrain Niklaus, and Esther to use her Dark Magic to place a curse on him which forced his werewolf side to lie dormant, and then rejected and abandoned him. Mikael then hunted down and killed Niklaus' father and his entire family, not realizing that doing so would ignite a war between vampires and werewolves that has been perpetuated across the ages. In retaliation for the curse and rejection, Klaus murdered his mother and framed Mikael for the act. After killing Esther, his family scattered and Niklaus stayed behind with Rebekah to bury Esther. Rebekah promised to never turn her back on him, like Esther did and so did Elijah. They swore to each other they would stay together always and forever. Southern France; 1002; While fleeing from Mikael after the death of their mother, Klaus ran with his siblings for a significant amount of time, feeding on people along the countryside but always being careful to hide the bodies. Unsure of where they were going, Kol brought up the idea that maybe they should split up so as to better avoid their father. Finn agreed with the idea, tired of the killing and running, taking no pleasure in their descent into vampirism. Elijah was quick to remind his siblings of their vow to remain together always and forever. When they discovered a caravan filled with fine clothing belonging to victims they had just killed, Rebekah suggested they steal the clothes and pose as the victims since they were heading to a nearby castle. When they found a servant of the castle who was escorting the cart to its destination, he told them he could help them in their potential ruse. They put it to a vote, whether they should let him live. Kol and Elijah wanted to kill him, while Finn and Rebekah wanted to spare him. Ultimately, Klaus had the deciding vote and he voted to spare the servant. The servant, Lucien Castle, presented them to the count after trying to help them blend in and present themselves as nobles. After almost being caught, their plan worked and they were welcomed into the count's court. Some time later, Niklaus started an affair with the Count's daughter, Aurora de Martel. Despite knowing that his then friend; Lucien, loved her as well, he continued seeing her. But one day, they were caught by Lucien, who was so angry with Klaus, he started a fuss, that led Aurora's older protective brother Tristan de Martel to hear them. Aurora, not knowing Klaus was a vampire, feared for his life, and told him to flee - and he did. But Lucien didn't run on time, and Tristan caught him and tortured him because he was with his sister. Elijah and Klaus (who felt guilty) tried to talk Tristan out of it, but he revealed that because of Kol's antics he know what they are, and about their lies, and threatened to expose them if they don't stay out of it. Later Klaus came to rescue Lucien, but he was too angry of his betrayal that he stabbed him, despite knowing what he is. But then some of Klaus' blood spilled on Lucien's wounds, healing them. Lucien thought that he became like Klaus, and went after Tristan for revenge. But he got speared by a guard before he could get to him. Later that night, Niklaus and Elijah stood over Lucien's funeral pyre, with Elijah asking his little brother if he was sure that Lucien didn't become one of them. Klaus replied that he tried to heal him with his blood but failed. Elijah then realized that they can only cure the living, and left. Just as Klaus was about to burn Lucien's body, he rose back, waking up in transition. Later, Klaus found his new vampire progeny feeding on women in the chapel. He tried to calm Lucien, and asked him to show restraint and asked if was still mad at him, but Lucien said that he wants Klaus to show him what it means to be like him, and said that he is no longer angry with Klaus, as he has given him a rare gift, and so, the two of them started wreaking havoc together. At the same time Klaus and Aurora's affair continued, until she saw him, Rebekah, and Lucien feed together, and she ran screaming. Later Klaus wrote her a letter explaining his family's unique condition, and she eventually understood and continued seeing him. But after that she begged him to turn her, and he refused. After some time, it was Aurora's birthday, and he brought her flowers. But he found Aurora crying in the chapel, she told him that she killed her mother as she gave birth to her. Klaus, wrecked with guilt, and saddened about killing his own mother -and unable to tell anyone about it- blurt out his secret to her. Afterwards, he found out that Aurora tricked his sister to giving her blood, and jumped from the roof - and turned to a vampire. The two slept together in the chapel.Short time later, an upset Finn informed his siblings that the villagers talks about demons feeding on human blood. The Mikaelsons realized they have been exposed, and that their father is on his way. Klaus came to Aurora's room, to take her with them, but she refused to leave her brother, and said she didn't love him, breaking his heart; and so, he left, leaving her. Unknown to anyone, Elijah compelled Aurora to think that, as he learned from her that Klaus killed their mother - and this was his revenge. Afterwards, desperate to avoid to their father, Elijah compelled Aurora, Lucien, and newly turned Tristan to think that they are Rebekah, Klaus and Elijah; respectively, so they can be a decoy. Some time later, the Mikaelson siblings run from their father, left France, and settled in Tuscany. Italy; 1114 A.D.; Klaus was with Elijah and Rebekah in 1114 AD Italy when they met a man named Alexander, a vampire hunter who was part of The Five. They spent a lot of time with him—the brothers in order to discover his plans for killing vampires and Rebekah because she loved him. Alexander did not seem to suspect them; they wore their daylight rings, allowing them to walk in the sun without burning, unlike the vampires whom Alexander killed on public display. However, when Klaus and his siblings were invited to a party at Alexander's home, the members of The Five daggered them in their sleep. Klaus, with half werewolf lineage, could not be neutralized by the White Oak Ash Daggers and upon awakening killed all of The Five, including Alexander. He undaggered his siblings (except for Finn) and found out from Rebekah that the weapon Alexander had told her about was a "cure" for vampirism. As a result of slaying The Five, Klaus was forced to endure 52 years, 4 months and 9 days of the Hunter's Curse - torturous hallucinations that haunted his dreams and every waking moment in an attempt to make him kill himself, but unable to, given his near-indestructible state. 1300s-1500; 1359; According to Elijah, Klaus has lost much of his humanity, hiding his loneliness with cruelty and anger. England; 1492; Klaus was an English nobleman during the late 15th century when he met Katerina Petrova, the second doppelgänger whose appearance he had been awaiting for five hundred years. Planning to use her in the ritual, he had kept her entertained until the full moon, but she learned of his plan before it could take place and escaped, taking the moonstone with her. As she fled, she encountered a vampire named Rose, whom she tricked into turning her into a vampire, thus ruining forever Klaus' plan to use her to break the curse. After Katerina turned into a vampire, Klaus assumed that her family line ended with her and that his chance to break his curse was gone forever. In retaliation, Klaus traveled to Bulgaria and murdered Katerina's entire family for her defiance. Copenhagen, Denmark; 1500s; It was mentioned by Freya in Save My Soul, that the Mikaelson siblings resided in Copenhagen in the 1500s. Cádiz, Spain; 1702; In 1702, Kol's violence in Spain drew too much attention and brought Mikael, straight to the family, burning the country in his wake. While the flames drew closer and Mikael beheaded Klaus' horse, Theo. Elijah and Klaus searched for Kol while Rebekah brought the daggered Finn on-board a ship to flee from Europe. They found him in a tavern where he drank and feasted on humans carelessly. Despite their warnings of Mikael's coming, he refused to flee. When Klaus and Elijah insisted, Kol attempted to resist them but was subdued by Elijah as Klaus pulled out one of the white oak ash daggers and successfully neutralized Kol. New Orleans; 1700s; Having fled the Old World, escaping Mikael , Klaus, along with Rebekah, and Elijah, and their daggered brothers sailed across the Atlantic ocean to the new world, their once childhood land; through the Mississippi River, and arrived in New Orleans, 300 years from the present. Upon arriving off the coast of New Orleans, they slaughtered all the men who boarded their ship, but left one alive to question and carry their luggage. In 1720, Klaus and Elijah helped the Governor in building the New Orleans' first levees. New Orleans; 1800; At some point in this century, Klaus came across Rayna Cruz after she returned to New Orleans. She terrorized the French Quarter and killed many of his best men which made him nervous of her power. New Orleans; 1820; In 1820, Niklaus, Elijah, and Rebekah were living in New Orleans at the Governor's mansion; and were paying the governor in gold to keep quiet about the existence of vampire's. One day the Governor threw a party for the Mikaelson's. Rebekah went up stairs with the Governor's son, who she wanted to turn. Rebekah went to Elijah with the Governor's son and asked if she could turn him, to which Elijah suggested it wouldn't be a wise move to turn the Governor's son into a vampire. In that moment, Klaus took the Governor's son and threw him off the second story, killing him immediately. Klaus and his brother attended the funeral of the Governor's son, when Klaus sees a man whipping a child. Klaus saves the child; and decides to care for him. He names the child Marcellus. He later meets the Governor to ask for Marcellus' freedom and chokes the Governor's neck until he grants the freedom. Niklaus asks Marcel about his father and quotes that family can be more than just those with whom they share blood and that they can choose. Marcel looked touched by his words. In 1820, Klaus is seen challenging a man in a duel; but Klaus wins the duel. Elijah then becomes a little worried and asks Klaus if it is not enough, that he has slaughtered dozens in just these past several weeks. Klaus explains that a city littered with bodies will surely travel the oceans. Elijah asks his brother if he wants to bring their father upon them; but Klaus tells Elijah to relax. Klaus then explains that he has sent rumor that the bodies are a result of the witches seeking blood sacrifice for their rituals. Elijah is shocked because he is in love with a witch named Celeste; but Klaus isn't concerned. Elijah takes a revolver and shoots at Klaus, who groans with pain. Klaus sees that Elijah cares about Celeste and warns that they're rounding up the town's witches as they speak. New Orleans; 1821; Klaus grew jealous as Marcellus grew closer to Elijah rather than him. Feeling lonely, he undaggered his younger brother, Kol, so he'd have someone to have fun with. The two began happily causing chaos across New Orleans, even slaughtering an entire tenement building for fun. When Klaus revealed that he'd choose Marcellus over Kol, though, Kol grew angry and threatened to turn Marcellus into a vampire. Klaus, realizing his brother was too wild to control, daggered Kol yet again. New Orleans; 1835; By 1835, Marcel and Rebekah spent practicing fencing, when Marcel was finally an adult, he could best her in a duel he attempted to make his move on her only to be stopped by Klaus. Despite pleading with Klaus to let him be with Rebekah, Klaus still shot him down and forbid him from pursuing her. However this did not stop Marcel from trying again and making out with Rebekah. They were abruptly torn apart physically by Klaus who decided to punish them by daggering Rebekah. In the same year, Marcel gets shot by the the Governor while trying to free some slaves. A dying Marcel forces Klaus to turn him into a vampire or let him die as a human. Niklaus against his wishes, gives in and fulfills Marcel's desire to become a vampire. New Orleans; 1887; In 1887, Klaus undaggered Rebekah, revealing he had left her daggered for 52 years. When she had asked to see Marcel, as she feared Klaus had killed him, Klaus sadistically revealed that he gave Marcel an ultimatum. Either live a long human life with Rebekah and die; or become a vampire, but to stay away from Rebekah. He chose the latter, even walking into the room as a proof, devastating Rebekah. New Orleans; 1914; During the holidays, after catching his brother Kol in the act of stealing a rare paragon diamond (which he confiscated from Kol, together with Marcel), Klaus learned from Rebekah during a Christmas dinner party, that Kol was conspiring with some of the New Orleans witches against him. During the party that was hosted at the compound, Klaus made a speech about loyalty and betrayal, prompting Kol to try and flee from the party. Klaus pursued him and, in front of all of their guests, yet again daggered his brother with Elijah's help. New Orleans; 1918; In 1918, Klaus wanted to convince Marcel not to fight in World War 1. He told him that he needs to stay with him at New Orleans, where the people who care for him are, but Marcel left New Orleans anyway- to fight the Germans. Much later Klaus visited Marcel on the war front in France, to entice him to drink blood of young ladies. At the same time he offered Marcel return to New Orleans. Marcel was starving, but he refused Klaus' offer again because he didn't want to leave his men. New Orleans; 1919; In 1919, Klaus tried to make arrangements with werewolves in the city, so his rule could remain hidden. But their meeting is soon interrupted by the witch Alphonz Bellatunde Delgallo, also known as Papa Tunde, who demands to know how would it benefit for the witches. He demands a tribute as he thinks he is also the king in this city and brings them the head of the mayor who he has killed. Klaus doesn't like it and decides to find out who this enemy is. Klaus befriends him to find out his weaknesses so he could destroy him. With help of the Marcel (who just returned from WW1) he finds out that Papa Tunde channels two twin witches who always accompany him and kills them to get rid of this rival. During this time, Klaus was very critical of Marcel and Rebekah's relationship, and they were determined to remove Klaus from their lives, and unbeknownst to Klaus, used a witch to call Mikael to New Orleans. Six months after this, Klaus and Elijah attend a local club underneath the Opera Theater, and Klaus flirts briefly with Lana, the "Werewolf Queen" and owner, before he and Elijah contemplate the unification of New Orleans. Elijah tells him they worked together to build up the city, but it was originally Niklaus' vision. Sometime later whilst sharing a drink with Elijah, Klaus notices Marcel and Rebekah attempting to convincingly avoid each other, as he stands, Elijah tries to pull him down to refrain him from causing trouble. Instead of condemning the pair, Klaus admits that as they move into the new era, attitudes must change. He toasts to Marcel and Rebekah, that they find joy in each other and that he has killed Rebekah's lovers to protect her from a broken heart if they have to move. However they are now home and he wants her to be happy. After a morning with Lana, she proposes tickets for the Theater that night. Rebekah and Klaus are later seen in a box at the Theater, and Rebekah heads towards the lobby to find Marcel. As Klaus is left alone and the curtain about to lift, Mikael appears behind him, poking his back with the White Oak. Mikael taunts him over the word "father" and that his real father would be just as embarrassed before telling him his plan. After Klaus demands Mikael just kill him, he is proud of his achievements in creating the city, Mikael taunts death will come, however afterwards he will stay in New Orleans.He will stay long enough to make sure everybody who remembers Klaus will be dead, and it would be as if he never even existed. As Klaus mulls this over, the curtains lift and Mikael announces he made some changes, sarcastically baiting he would love them. The audience applause's and laughs, compelled by Mikael as the curtain reveals Lana, impaled with a stake and Marcel is staked to a cross, barely conscious. Klaus tries to save Marcel however he is thwarted by Mikael, and Rebekah intervenes only for Mikael to stab her and push her aside. Only when Elijah appears, they decide to run, that it was too late to save Marcel who Mikael was feeding on. As they flee, Klaus feeds Rebekah his blood to heal her as they hear Mikael approach. She is devastated at Marcel's apparent death and reveals it was her fault. Klaus denies this, instead apologizing to her, saying this was his fault, and as the Opera burns to the ground ahead of them with screams rippling from inside, that he thought they found a home. Elijah tells them to leave, that he will hold Mikael off. After hesitation, Klaus grabs Rebekah and the two leave New Orleans. Chicago; 1920; During the 1920's, a few years after the New Orleans incident Klaus and Rebekah were yet again on the run from Mikael. The siblings were in Chicago in 1922 where they met the vampire Stefan Salvatore, whom Rebekah fell in love with. At first Klaus hated Stefan, but he grew to like him once he discovered that Stefan was a Ripper and they became good friends. One night, the speakeasy they were at was attacked, apparently by the police, though it turned out the raid was led by Mikael. Before he left, Klaus compelled Stefan to forget him and Rebekah. Later, when he and Rebekah were about to leave Chicago, Rebekah told Klaus that she was tired of running and wanted to be with Stefan. Klaus then forced her to choose between him and Stefan; she chose Stefan. Afraid of being left alone, he neutralized his sister with a White Oak Ash Dagger, then took her body with him in a car and left Chicago. Rostock, Germany; 1933; In 1933, in Rostock Germany, Klaus and Elijah meet August Müller; they criticize his art. Klaus looks into the werewolf massacres and learn that August was slaughtering "beasts". He eventually kills August, but spares his family, Greta, Antoinette, and Roman Sienna; ultimately shaming them in the process.

Prom
"She isn't going to let me go." A lamenting sigh comes from the young woman. Hugging her legs close and leaning against the window whos ledge she's seated on, Ella glances over to her older brother. "Scarlet says they'll know exactly what kind of girl I am. That I need stay home and repent for taking to Lucifer's temptations."
William doesn't hold back a frustrated groan, going over to the other and placing a hand atop her head. "That mother of ours isn't well. I know you've been having a rough time at school and Scarlet isn't much help either. But I doubt making a friend is worth the fuss she's causing." Sweeping a brief look across his sister's arms, William spots fading blotches of bluish purple. "Did she do that?"
Or was it the bullies?
"My throat was getting dry from reading verses. I stopped for a moment and she got upset. I don't think she's ever gotten this bad." Ella admits. "I think she misses you." Their mother had always been frenzied about keeping "sin" and the "devil" out of their lives. When her brother graduated and chose to attend a college far from home, she seemed to take it personally. Accusations of taking part in witchcraft, wanting to let the devil into her life, and seducing demons began to become part of her daily life when William left.
The blonde shakes his head in disbelief - moving away to rummage through his weekend bag. "Think I got some concealer in here. You told me you got asked to the dance by one of the popular guys, right? What's he like? He isn't trying to mess with you is he?" Williams questions follow one after another. He only wanted to keep his sister safe from any further harm.
"Do you like him?"
Ella looks up confused but lets out a laugh. "No. I just know him because Moira does. If she's friends with him then he must be doing this to be nice. I'm just relieved not everyone at that school sees me as a freaky witch."
"...Come on, you should get ready. I'll make sure mom doesn't find out where you went and I know Moira snuck you out to go dress shopping." he smiles.
The younger Nowell flusters at being discovered but she thanks her brother who heads off to see where their mother is.
She hadn't been nervous earlier but once the sight of the time and realizing she was ready to go, Ella could feel her heart racing. Was her dress fine? Her hair just right and makeup fine? Would the other students mock her for attending the dance with someone so well known?
Just make them shut up for good.
The thought startles her - causing the witch to go still. Maybe she was more anxious than she thought.
"I hope this isn't too much for you, Liam." her words stumble out during the walk to the school. Ella had insisted the other didn't make a grand show when it came to taking her to prom. Now they were strolling together through the neighborhood. Liam however had been rather silent throughout the trip. "Is everything okay?" Maybe he was having second thoughts.
Liam responds as if he was caught off guard, a hand going to the back of his neck. "Y-Yeah. I just...you look nice." he mutters, keeping his eyes to the ground. "The dress too!" a rushed addition to his compliment is given.
Ella's face softens, a gentle smile taking place. "You look nice too." It seemed like the right thing to say after his kind words. Maybe her mother was all wrong about things. Not everyone she would meet was going to be cruel...
"There you two are!" Heather is first to greet them - her hands clasping Ella's close. "I told Jen you weren't gonna let her little subordinates get to you. Thought for a second Liam got lost on his way to your house." she looks over to the other, giving him a stern look. "He didn't do anything did he?"
"I was the perfect gentleman!" Liam counters, earning laughter from the two girls. "I'm getting some punch." he grumbles, breaking off from them and into the bustling crowd of prom attendees.
Heather leads Ella to an empty table away from the dancefloor, near the stage decorated for the main event of the night.
The reveal of this years Senior Prom Royalty.
"I made sure nobody would give you trouble tonight. I haven't even seen Jen or her boyfriend either after talking to her. Maybe she got bored and left." Heather sounds hopeful. It would take away some concern for the evening if that were true. "Didn't think your mom was gonna let you out, Ella. I was ready to drag Liam to your place so we could sneak you out." she grins.
Ella returns a small smile, fidgeting with the corsage on her wrist. "Will surprised us with an early visit. He wanted to make sure I could go with you guys." Being able to attend felt like the first step in concluding her unpleasant senior year on a good note.
"Testing, testing!" The sound of a stage mic being adjusted by an MC has the lively chatter in the gymnasium quiet down. "Nice to have you all here tonight! Dancing, mingling, and of course waiting for the results of our most coveted titles this years prom!"
The crowd answers with rallied cheers and impatient encouragement. Eyes watch with anticipation as a single envelope is brought over to the MC. "Let's see here~ Your King and Queen for tonight's Senior Prom are-"
"LIAM MASTERS AND ELLA NOWELL!"
The announcement surprises the woman, looking up and around as a spotlight brings attention to her and Liam - who makes his way to the stage while signaling her to follow after.
"Go on up, Nowell!" Heather gives her a light nudge.
She was voted Prom Queen?
Her footsteps towards the stage feel light, her heart beating just like before when she was getting ready.
Ella wished her mother could see - see that her fear mongering was for nothing. Everyone was smiling and clapping! They were cheering for her...
A bouquet of black dahlias is handed over to her while she and Liam stand center stage, all eyes on them as a crown is put on her head.
"Give it up for our Prom King and Queen, folks!"
Ella holds her flowers close, giving Liam and the crowd a bright smile. The crowd is so loud with their excitement that she barely hears the sound of rope snapping...
A puddle of thick wetness drapes over her, splashing to the ground and staining anything it lands on. Her cheery expression falters into one of shock - gaze staring out into the audience that reacts with a gasp. The bouquet in her grasp tumbles to the ground, stained in red paint.
At least that's what Ella thought it was until she begins to try wiping it off her arms and dress.
It was blood.
She can feel it dripping into her hair, staining her skin, and the smell of rust sticking to her.
They're all staring - some crying out for her date who's stumbled to the floor of the stage after a knock to the skull from the now empty bucket that had been leveraged above them.
Others are falling into gossip and among them she spots the one likely behind it all.
"LOOK AT THE FREAK COVERED IN BLOOD!" Jen calls out, urging other students to point, laugh, and echo insults her way.
Chaperones attempt to calm down the crowd but they're only ignored as frenzy takes over.
Ella had been wrong.
The laughter is all she can hear as she stands there like their personal fool to mock.
That's when the witch understands. . .
They were never going to change. . .
The gymnasium doors slam shut.
Windows close with a thud.
Stage lights shatter. . .and the audience panics.
Her hand raises, levitating tables nearby to send them flying into the crowd. Others are slammed into the ceiling before being dropped with ease. Many scramble for the entrance and exits - futile attempts to get out. Scream and cries fill the room as stage curtains are set ablaze.
"Stop this! Let us out!"
A snap of bones is heard and the pleading voice has gone quiet.
The fire begins to branch out to the rest of the room and Ella is calm as she descends down the stairs of the stage, strolling through the gymnasium to taken in her work.
She drowns out the sobbing and yelling of what’s left of the faculty and students. They don’t attempt to get in her way.
Taking in only the sound of flames moving rapidly, stages pieces crashing to the ground and her own soft humming while taking gentle care to remove the corsage that had been given to her.
No longer would she be their plaything.
The main entrance doors open with ease as she approaches, shutting them swiftly behind her once she's out of the building.
Outside the night breeze is cool and the gymnasium is enveloped by the fire and terror that’s sealed inside.
All of it on display just for her to savor as she watches from afar with satisfaction and the sounds of sirens are heard in the distance.
Prom hadn't been so terrible after all.

Hyacinth - What would a symbolic rebirth look like for your muse?
Ivy - Does your muse find themselves overly dependent on something, regardless of whether they actually are or not?
Dahlia - How does your muse handle themselves at formal events?
Oh dear... Pietro... feels an unfortunate need to push against authority, whether good or bad. It could be abusive authority like Hydra or well-meaning authority like Steve’s, he’s still gonna push against it. So... at a formal event, he’d feel the need to... hmm, how to put this... see how informal he can get before someone says something to him? XD He’ll tell jokes, get loud, try to stir things up... all because formal events are supposed to be elegant and sophisticated and proper and Pietro can’t stand it. He’s gotta break out of the mold, heh. Even with what he wears... You’re never getting him to wear a tie and good luck even getting him in a suit at all. Maybe if you make a deal with him and offer him something he wants in return, he might do it. XD
Delphinium - What are your muse’s go-to activities in their downtime?
Listening to music, drumming, running for fun, hiking, weight-training (he actually finds this fun, so it isn’t work to him), and of course spending time with his beloved sister. Or his significant other in verses where he has one. And eating, haha, but he has to eat a lot to maintain his powerhouse body’s needs, so maybe that’s not downtime. I would say he likes games too. You could easily get him to play board games or even rpg-style card games if you can get him to pay attention long enough to learn the rules.
Edelweiss - Is there anything that your muse will refuse to give up on virtually no matter what?
Protecting Wanda and anyone else he loves. He won’t ever give up, no matter how dire the situation is, even if all hope is lost, until his dying breath, he’ll keep trying. That and standing up for the “little guy,” the poor, the less fortunate, the sick, and the elderly.
Forget-me-not - Who is someone in your muse’s life that they will never forget and why?
His paternal grandfather (or at least the man he thought was his paternal grandfather... he was Django’s father, but Django isn’t Pietro’s biological father... but oops he never knew, so... yeah XD). He was a Holocaust survivor, a very wise man, and a very kind man. Despite all that he’d been through and all that he’d seen, he managed to keep his humanity and his empathy. He spent a lot of time with Pietro until he passed away of old age when the twins were four. Even though he was very little, Pietro remembers the stories he’d tell about the types of men who perpetrated the Holocaust, and then the good men who fought against it and to end it. The twins were never kept from such truths, even despite their graphic nature, because it was an important part of their heritage. Pietro really absorbed a lot of what his grandfather told him, and modeled the man he wanted to be when he grew up on those “good men” his grandfather spoke about.
Geranium - How would your muse fare in upper class or “proper” society?
See above, the “formal events” question, heh. Pretty much all of that but then you include stuffy, rich, entitled people? Oh boy. Pietro doesn’t have a very positive view of the rich for a number of reasons, so not only would he feel a need to kindof... jar their comfort world with his boisterous and often uncouth self, but he would also want to make very clear that he was not intimidated by them, nor did he think they were better than him. He’d want to disabuse them of the notion that he’s some vagabond that doesn’t matter. Fitting in would not be a goal of his. XD
Gorse - How does your muse feel about each season?
Pietro likes warmth, so Spring and Summer are great, Fall and Winter suck. Spring and Summer are great because everything is green and pleasant and warm and it’s great weather to go out running in. In Fall, the falling leaves are problematic. If it rains and they stick to the ground, he can’t stop on them. He skids right off the street, haha. Winter is even worse. The cold causes him to need even more food to keep up with the calories it takes for his body to properly keep its muscles warm. And ice is the bane of his existence. He’s skidded on his ass more times than he can count. XD
Hollyhock - What are your muse’s limits, if any, when it comes to chasing after their ambitions?
He won’t step on other people to get there. He won’t hurt others, either physically or just morally speaking. And I would say he also wouldn’t take things or accept offers that are tainted. He wouldn’t accept ill-gotten money, a shady job, or anything that seems to come for free... because nothing is free. That’s part of why he finds it so hard to fit in with the Avengers at first, because he’s just handed this nice job, all expenses paid, access to great medical care (even if he’s scared of it, heh), and food anytime he wants it, and he just wonder what the catch is. So he’s very conscious of what he’s being given or what he’s earning, who’s offering it, and where it’s coming from as far as sources and people. He prefers to get things on his own merits or through his own actions, and he doesn’t want to beholden to anyone who might cause him or Wanda harm. And really, as long as he and Wanda are taken care of, that’s all he wants. “Climbing the ladder” isn’t really what he’s after, just providing for himself and those he cares about.
Honeysuckle - What does your muse think about marriage?
Marriage is a serious deal for Pietro, but it’s kindof the ultimate goal for a serious, long-term relationship for him. He hopes to marry someday, and would prefer to marry before having kids if possible, more because he wants to make sure that there is enough in place legally and monetarily between him and the mother to properly provide for children. Pietro grew up super poor, and he saw how it affected everyone. From his and Wanda’s point of view, it was scary sometimes going without food or not knowing when the next meal would come. But then he also saw his parents stressing out over being able to provide for them. So he came out of that not wanting to jump into having kids without preparing properly beforehand. Marriage is one of the steps involved with that preparation in his mind.
Hyacinth - What would a symbolic rebirth look like for your muse?
I mean... to me, Pietro becoming an Avenger is a kindof symbolic rebirth for him. It’s him moving away from the grudges and false information he’d held onto from childhood and accepting that he might have been wrong, or that things weren’t as black and white as he thought. It’s also a move from being at the bottom with regard to the poor and oppressed of society, to suddenly being privileged and using that privilege to help people like how he used to be. And since my Pietro turn 18 two weeks after Ultron, it’s also a move from childhood to adulthood. So on many levels, becoming an Avenger is a new start and a type of rebirth for him.
Ivy - Does your muse find themselves overly dependent on something, regardless of whether they actually are or not?
I answered this already and said Wanda, or Wanda’s reassurance/approval/etc. So I’ll pick something else he’s dependent on for this one. Being dependent on Wanda is something that is mostly in his head. It’s partly a choice and partly born of trauma. But Pietro is also dependent on food, and that dependence is very real. He really can’t go very long without food before experiencing adverse physical and mental side effects. It scares him a little bit when those side effects start to kick in, and so he’s somewhat always obsessed with eating. Always needing food, being raised poor when food wasn’t always available, and being experimented on when food was used as a weapon for behavior modification is a frightening combination for him. It makes him scared to not have food, and when it isn’t there, he’s afraid it’ll be too long before he can get it again. This results in some amount of overeating on his part, but his metabolism generally takes care of it pretty well.
