#where the mikaelsons are legacy vamps

[fandoms--fluff]

Okay this is going to be Legacies. So, I was thinking Hope x Reader. I was thinking where Reader is a normal human and She has been together with Hope 2 years. But the thing is that the Reader doesn’t know that Hope is a Tribid and she didn’t tell the reader. At night, Reader finds Hope going against vampires and she uses her tribrid abilities and saw it all and Reader was shocked. Angst and Fluff :)

The Secret's Out

Flufftober, October 4th

Female reader x Hope Mikaelson

Warnings: mentions of dead people/killing?

A/n: It's more really fluffy! I hope you like it!

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

You're taking your usual late night walk. Now it doesn't sound the safest, but nothing bad has happened. Well, not until up to this point.

You hear screams coming from around the corner and being your curious self, you take a peak. Don't get it wrong, your heart is beating restlessly, but you're going to be wondering for the whole night what's going on.

What you see makes you go frozen. You're standing on the street corner, watching as your girlfriend is fighting five people. But in the next second all five of them go down, lifeless. They have veins running up their faces. The way they all fell, it can't be natural, it's as if some force field struck them and now you notice all their hearts are littered on the ground.

You look back over to your girlfriend who obviously caused that. There's no way she didn't, she's the only other person there, and it certainly wasn't you. Except, her face isn't normal, her eyes are amber and veins are sticking out under her eyes.

"Hope?" You yell out. Stupid thing to do, right? But you only live once, you guess.

Hope turns, hearing her name, and sees you, her girlfriend. Her very human, shouldn't have to know about the supernatural, girlfriend.

Her vampire face immediately retracts and a shocked one replaces it. She vamps over to you. You jump from the speed and how she just appeared like that.

"Y/n? I'm so sorry you had to see that" she said, clearly starting starting panic. "Well, what the hell was that?!" You exclaimed.

Hope grows silent, not knowing the perfect way to tell you.

"Well?" You sigh. She just looks at you with this lost facial expression. "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it right here, do you want to come back to my apartment and talk there. There'll be no prying eyes or ears, I promise" you tell her softly.

"Okay, yeah. Are you sure?" She asks, noting how calm you've become. "Yes, I'm sure, I want to know what all of this is. And while we're walking I'm going to come up with some conclusions to what you are and tell you what I thought after your explanation and you can then tell me how stupid I sound, got it?"

"Got it" she gives you a nervous smile. It's extremely confusing to her for how she's the nervous one here, but she just pushes it aside. She walks next to you as you guys walk over to your apartment a couple blocks away.

When you guys made it in your apartment, she follows you to the couch. You motion for her to sit down beside you and she slightly nods, taking a seat.

"Okay, so I kept this hidden, well the best I could obviously. The school I went to, I don't anymore, but you know how I visit my friends and all that stuff. Well, it's not a normal school, it's a school for the supernatural." She starts. You raise an eyebrow, a corner of your lip poking up, but you want her to finish speaking.

"I'm a part of the supernatural, only I'm the only one of them, there is. There are three species, witches, werewolves, and vampires... I'm all three. I was a miracle child between my father, who was the original hybrid - a vampire and a werewolf, and my mother, who was a werewolf before she turned into a hybrid after she gave birth to me." She gulps before continuing. You give a reassuring smile. "They're both dead now, as you already know. I wanted to tell you the moment I fell in love with you, but I was scared and stressed, and thought you'd be terrified and hate me. I thought you'd..I don't know, but I really, really don't want to break up and I don't want you to think I'm an abomination monster and hate me for ever not telling you. Or just for existing, because people have been calling me that since before I was born. But I never want you to call me that." Hope looks to you with pleading, glossed over eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, calm down" you tell her, and you pull her into a hug. She nuzzles into your shoulder the best she can and closes her eyes.

Everything's fine, y/n's not showing any signs of hate or anything, I'm okay, breathe, Hope, breathe. Hope thinks to herself before slowly pulling out of the hug.

You place your hands on her shoulders. "Okay, so you're telling me that vampires exist. And you are part vampire. Wait! Do you sparkle in the sun like it Twilight?" You joke with faux excitement.

"Okay, haha. Are you alright with this? Because you're taking it freakily very well" Hope places her hands on your shoulders as well.

"Yes, I'm one hundred percent alright with this. I just really need to know one thing" You say, a small scheming smile displayed on yourself. "What is it?" She asks.

"What spell, or whatever that was, that you did to those I'm guessing other vampires did you use? Cause that was awesome now that I think back" You ramble with an excited energetic puppy-like face.

Hope chuckles, "Okay, I think it's bedtime," Hope says, but caves when you make your puppy eyes instead. She now sort of wonders if you're somehow a werewolf with how you have that look mastered.

"Okay, how about this, we go to bed, and then in the morning we'll go for a walk to the falls and you can ask me all the questions you want and you'll also get to burn energy" she kisses your forehead.

"Deal!" You kiss her. You guys go to your room. She changes into the pajamas she always keeps here along with a bunch of her other clothing items. Because she probably spends more time here than the actual dorm room she still has at the Salvatore school.

She gets into bed beside you, and immediately cuddles into your chest. "Thank you for not thinking I'm a freak" She mumbles against your soft skin.

"And thank you for not kicking me for the stupid questions I asked. I love you so much and could never think of you that way" You kiss the top of your wonderful girlfriend's head.

full adopted name: hayley jane elizabeth marshall

species: werewolf-vampire hybrid

age: verse dependent but turned at age 21

birthday: 6th june 1991

zodiac: gemini

gender: trans man (began transition after season 1 of the originals)

pronouns: verse dependent, but usually he/him

sexuality: pansexual

race: white

hair color / style: dark brown / usually shoulder length but sometimes cut short.

eye color: hazel/brown

height: 172cm / 5’8”

skills/traits/personality: do i even need to list this???? here’s hayley’s wiki page

family: hope mikaelson (daughter)

fandom: the vampire diaries / the originals / legacies

faceclaim: pre & during transition - phoebe tonkin / post transition - elliot fletcher

C A N O N D I V E R G E N C I E S :

cw: gender dys.phoria, internalized transp.hobia, repressing gender identity, sui.cidal thoughts, HRT, mentions of s.urgery

around age 8 is when hayle started having thoughts that everyone around him calling him a girl felt wrong, somehow. a defining moment for him was when he was asked to play house and his friends let him be the dad, and the feeling that gave him has stuck with him ever since.

as an early teenager, hayle began exploring his sexuality as well as gender expression, cut his hair short, wore clothes meant for boys, etc. this changed when he triggered his werewolf curse and was thrown away by his adopted family; he felt being trans would put an even bigger target on his back while out on his own trying to get by, so he continued presenting as a girl.

hayle was focused on nothing but survival and trying to find his birth family for so long that he thought he’d left that part of himself behind, even though all the feelings were still there underneath it all. repressing this part of himself was a contributing factor to how ruthless and violent he was in tvd.

getting pregnant gave hayle massive amounts of gender dy.sphoria to the point where he was su.icidal, and the only reason he stayed alive is because sophie deveraux kept him captive after finding out he was pregnant with klaus’ child.

throughout season 1 of the originals, hayle struggles with his gender identity on top of all the other chaos happening in new orleans. rebekah is the only person that hayle tells the truth about himself to, and she keeps it to herself until hayle is ready to tell others.

after hope is born and hayle becomes a hybrid is when he decides he is going to transition to the best of his ability. he finally tells klaus and elijah and jackson, and klaus pays for all his medical expenses and new clothes. hayle cuts his hair and begins HRT, but because he is now a hybrid and heals too quickly, he cannot get top or bottom surgery and will be continuously wearing binders and packers.

being on testosterone makes hayle even more aggressive and violent after turning, but finally being able to be himself is the only thing keeping him going after turning into a vamp and losing his daughter.

he still marries jackson to unite the pack and transfer his hybrid powers to them so they can protect hope.

by the end of season 2 of the originals, hayle is fully transitioned to the best of his ability, but a bit of detransitioning happens when klaus puts the crescent curse on him and he cannot continue his HRT for a few months.

freya attempts to help by doing a spell that cycles the testosterone in his body instead of burning it up. when davina lifts the crescent curse, hayle begins HRT again, and freya makes the hormone spell permanent so that hayle no longer has to rely on injecting hormones in fear of detransitioning.

freya is consistently looking for gender affirming magic to help hayle feel better in his body.

this is a canon divergent version of a canon compliant character. this is NOT a gender bent version of hayley marshall. this is hayley marshall. i am willing to write pre-transition hayle, do not be afraid to ask, but it will have to be set in tvd or seasons 1-2 of the originals.

VERSE: FIRST KILL

This is a catch-all verse for interactions in the First Kill verse/lore.  I tried my best to fit things in as they made sense for Hope without dictating too much what’s going on.  It is super vague in order to open up for plotting with others. As always, I’m flexible to tweaks to adjust and adapt to other muns and muses’ preferences. 

Legacy vampires are an urban myth, as far as most people are concerned.  When they think of vampires, they think of ghoulish monsters of the night who disintegrate into ash and dust when they are staked through the heart. They are misled by popular culture and its adoration of vampire lore. The Mikaelsons lean into this idea of an urban myth more than other Legacy families do, letting the ideas of vampires and wolves and witches flourish in the French Quarter.  It helps with the tourism, and they could hardly deny enjoying the slight bit of fear that is instilled the general populace when their names are brought up. Hiding in plain sight made easier by flooding the streets with a truth so absurd that most humans prefer to treat it as a folly.

Hope’s status as a Legacy is tenuous at best, largely because she was born out of wedlock.  Her parents’ affair created a scandal within the city. While it was a testament to the power that the Mikaelsons already had that they were able to maintain their status after her birth, it was only the revelation of Hayley as a Legacy of the Labonair line that saved their reputations.  After all, Legacy vampires are a matriarchal society, and there is no denying that Hope is her mother’s daughter.

Still, Hope never quite saw her family at the height of their power as a result of the scandal. The Mikaelsons’ status within the Legacy family hierarchy is mid to upper-tier at best, perhaps half a step down from the Davenports or the Sugimotos. They have been trying to rebuild their family’s reputation over the last two decades, with the help of witches (cough cough Freya) and other, non-Legacy sources, and the Mikaelsons are finally ready to debut Hope to the world of Legacies and the expectations that come with it.

NOTES

The Labonair Legacy line was supposedly hunted to extinction in the 1980s, with Hayley Marshall (aka Andrea Labonair) as the sole survivor. Even Hayley didn’t know her heritage, and it’s not until she is pregnant with Hope that she and the Mikaelsons learn the truth. 

Hope’s “unique” status is just that she was born out of wedlock from an affair between a Legacy and a “nobody”. However, being the sole heir to the Labonair line (and a girl to boot) makes her a hot commodity within the Legacy community, even if a lot of them turn up their noses at the Mikaelsons and the fact that she wasn’t born out of an arranged marriage.

As mentioned above, I’m open to tweaking pretty much anything other than the fact that it is Hayley’s line and heritage that grants Hope legitimacy within the highbrow Legacy community. I’m not open to changing that bit because it’s crucial for setting up the family history.

“Putting a blade through the chest of somebody that you love.”

[bellarkeselection]

Hey could you do a min series about Ken from legacies x soon to be goddess reader ( the reader is Poseidon and Rebekah Mikealson) miracle pregnacy and is like a vampire heretic

Unique Affair

Guard your heart mother told me from a young age of ten. A miracle she also claimed me to be at the same time. Tonight I just wanted to play princess for a night instead of hiding my abilities. New Orleans is filled with parties every night and I haven't been to a single one. Simply because my mother doesn't wish for my father to learn about me. My father apparently is a God, someone who allowed her to have a child. Which isn't possible for a vampire...until me that is. Opening my bedroom window I vamped outside and down into the busy streets. Dancing around in the crowd I slip in a wet puddle from the rain this morning screaming but I don't hit the ground. "Careful there, my lady. I'd hate to see you injured." A deep voice spoke in my ear.

Lifting my head up I see a strong man holding me wearing armor like he was a knight or something. Thankfully everyone here tonight is dressed in clothes from royalty so he doesn't look as out of place. He released his grip on my arms helping me stand on my own two feet again. Tilting my head up since he's taller than me I see that he has blonde hair and green eyes. "Do you happen to be Lady Y/n Mikaelson?" He asked with a calm voice that makes me blush a little. Twirling some hair between my fingers I moved my other hand down my blue dress correcting him. "It's just Y/n...now who are you and why are you looking for me?" I asked creating a ball of water from my hand having been gifted the power of my father and the vampire powers of my mother. "My name is Ken and I am the King of God's. I was sent by your father to strick a proposal." He spoke pulling out something from his armor shocking me. "He wishes you and I to marry Y/n."

Hearing those words I gasped seeing flashes of me and Ken together that haven't happened yet considering we just met right now. "You know I cam walk, Ken." I giggle when he carried me to the bed just smiled. He sits down on the bed playing with my hair kissing my forehead. "I told you I would treat you like royalty like you dreamed. So I think sweaping a lady off her feet isn't too much to ask." Wrapping my arms around his neck I climbed into his lap smiling at his words. "I can't play princess forever, Ken. I may not age but I have to act my age, especially since I don't mind kissing you." He leans forward kissing me slowly where I move one hand into his hair until he broke it. "As long as you're with me, Y/n. You can play royalty forever...but as my Queen."

"That hasn't even happened - why did I kiss you. Why do I want to kiss you now?" I smack a hand to my forehead becoming a stuttering mess instead of having a snarky comment back. Ken takes my right hand in his lifting his other hand up shoving me a golden wedding ring. "That feeling you have my dear is because we are destined to be together. You're father had planned us to wed but your mother took you away from me. Erased your desires for me with her mind power." He slipped the ring on my hand and I admired it with a thought. Ken groaned suddenly when someone stabbed him in the back with an object to weaken him. He fell to his knees where I gasped sharply. "Mother.." She pulled the blade out glaring down to him. "I thought I told you last time to stay away from my daughter. Tell my ex she doesn't intend to marry you ever!"

Let me know if I should do a part 2 and what should happen

Comments really appreciated 😊

[xkandor]

i truly hate how Legacies doesn't acknowledge Hope's werewolf bloodline and the fact that she comes from a line of royalty in regards to the wolves

she's a Labonair by birth and yet, it's never discussed at all

we always hear about the Mikaelsons and the original vamps and how Hope is Klaus's daughter but the lack of references to the Crescents is irritating coz yes, she is the Klaus's heir but, however, she is also Hayley's heir, the next rightful Alpha of the Crescents, something not even mentioned to the point that i wonder if Hope even knows she is technically the next Alpha

and dont get me wrong, i love Klaus, always have always will but the general lack of Hayley nods and mentions and Hope's wolf side is infuriating

we get so much of the witch side and we've been getting a lot of the vamp that i would like to see that gorgeous wolf form of hers, maybe even a talk about the Labonairs and the Crescents and hell even the birth mark thats suppose to be on her shoulder

anyway all of this to say, Hope is also a wolf and wolf royalty at that and that it should be acknowledged more

They do Hayley so dirty on this show and it really annoys me. Don't get me wrong Klaus is my little meow meow. But Hayley spent 15 years raising that girl and to brush her off the way they do is so frustrating. Also I agree Hope is literally werewolf royalty why don't we ever talk about it or acknowledge it?? I watched Legacies before I had seen any other TVDU show. Hope Mikaelson for the first 3 seasons to me, was a boring character who's story severely revolved around Landon, to the point where she lacked any sort of characteristics for herself. I watched The Originals to better understand her as a character, The Originals made me love and appreciate Hope's character more than Legacies had in its 3 seasons. (Season 4 I'm living my best life, Hope's gotten so much development). But you have a character who's a powerful New Orleans witch, the daughter of an original vampire/the world's first hybrid, who's mom is literal Werewolf royalty. WEREWOLF ROYALTY. Like there's definitely stuff to explore with that so I hope we get that in season 5 if they get picked up again.

[initial reactions] Legacies 4x13 - Was This the Monster You Saw?

- OH JED. I'm glad we finally got his backstory but also, oH JED. But also that first kiss. I'm glad they were able to set this up properly.

TVDU is basically littered with the dead bodies of abusive dads. And Jed's no different.

For all the ways Alaric is not a great dad he isn't anywhere close to Mikael. Or Katherine's, to Tyler's and Jed's fathers.

He and Klaus actually are good dads, just not the best nor the greatest. Seriously, who knew Klaus would be a good dad? Even though he fucked up Marcel, admittedly growing up he wasn't that terrible to Marcel that he grew-up as well adjusted as he did. It's only when Marcel became a vamp that Klaus's insecurities started coming to play and started to treat him as less of a son and more of a 'friend and brother'.

I have no feelings about Alaric at this point except that think the Limbo arc is a dud. Someone free Landon from there, free him, and let him lead a happy and Human life.

- "You also need an accountability partner."

Hope doesn't mention at all that she just lost her supposed unbreakable accountability partner because she was being a stubborn stupid head.

Also anytime Hope mentions Lizzie and Pretends That it Meant Nothing. LOL.

You're back at school because you're lonely and terrified your Humanity is coming back.

Now your Humanity is trying to kick loose.

ETA: Imagine tho if/when Alaric learns that Lizzie was sire bound to Hope. Knowing what he knows about sire bonds. I want to see Alaric’s expression.

Another middle ground for Hope getting her Humanity back is that it's a culmination of her family and her own damned self clawing back to returning to who she is.

Also, for Doylist reasons, I'm thinking that the reason Hope doesn't want to be anywhere near New Orleans is that she's unconsciously afraid that NOLA is filled with emotional triggers for her.

Plus, NOLA is home to some tough factions around. They might not be as powerful as a Tribrid but as a united community, they've consistently held an Original at bay. It might not be a long time but it's enough time.

Vincent will also not let Hope enter New Orleans without a good old fashion: "You're a punk."

I love Vincent a lot and Hope loves him too, and Hope knows Vincent does not fuck around.

- Oh, Lizzie, NO. The brand will bite you in the ass at the most inopportune moment! They're doing a good job with the balance of Aurora. I can feel sympathetic to her cause but also as The Originals fan, I know Lizzie's not wrong about Tristan. But also, I don't trust Aurora as far as I can throw her.

She has her own agendas and those agendas get people killed.

- Once again this episode proves that the real leader of this Squad now that the golden Trio (Hope, Josie, and Lizzie) are not around nor suited for command is Cleo Sowande.

And she didn't need her inspiration powers to defeat the clown.

- I'm gonna say it: because of constantly watching 4x10 -- I love JEN | Vulcan. Jen is the one who legit wants to be left alone but also funny if Jen's actually the Klaus Mikaelson of her family aka the one who coffins her family for one reason or another.

(Also, isn't there a thing where Vulcan | Haphaestus and Aphrodite are married?)

EDited to ADD: BEE TEE DUBS, look at this expression:

This is Pure Klaus Mikaelson Trademarked Bastard Grin. The Full on Klaus Mikaelson Mischief and Mayhem Package distilled into this expression by one Hope Mikaelson's.

Hope sure is Klaus Mikaelson's daughter!

- Also, LOL Egypt. They're really leaning into the hilarity of Greece, 2000 years ago.

Overall this is a set-up episode, just moving pieces to where it needs to go.

CW Renew Batwoman and Legacies, please.

Edit: BTW Aurora still very much thinks Lizzie is in love with Hope and possibly thought Hope and Lizzie are in a relationship, because of the sire bond.

Love and Monopoly

 Love and Monopoly

Milton Greasley x Reader, 

Fandom: TVDU/Legacies 

Dialogue Prompts: “Try focusing more on your life and less on mine!” and "You make me feel like I'm not good enough."

Fun Take on Angsty Prompts

Warning: Cursing, Drinking, Kissing, Necking, Mentions of food, brief mentions of blood (bunny blood for vamps), Monopoly

A/N: Someone please open my messages and give me a crash course on how to write a makeout scene I can’t do it, OMFH ಥ‿ಥ

Word Count: 2760

You and Milton Greasley had been dating for 5 years. 

You met during your shared time together at Salvatore Boarding School. You were a witch who helped MG calm down whenever he went into a ripper mode. You had used spells to lower his bloodlust. You even made the bunny blood that the school had fed vampires taste as close to human blood as you could without triggering a negative response. 

 After you all graduated, The Super Squad all rented a house in Mystic Falls, and you were all roommates. The house had 5 bedrooms, one for you and MG, one for Lizzie, one for Josie, one for Hope, and one for Kaleb. However, since Josie and Hope began dating, they had moved into the tribrid's room, so now the empty space was more of a game room. There were board games and consoles in the closet, a pool table, and a regular round glass table surrounded by armchairs where you all could sit and play games. 

Tonight was your bi-weekly game night, and you all had decided to play monopoly. Though it was a unanimous decision, you knew it could take days to finish. You were all very competitive, and none of you would go down without a fight. This is why, to finish faster, you decided to have a team game of monopoly.

On the day of, everyone had started going shopping for the concessions for the event. Trays of assorted cookies, hors-doeuvres, sandwich platters, as well as multiple different fruit juices were bought and set on a foldable table in the game room. 

As you were setting and arranging everything on the table, your wonderful boyfriend came around to help you. 

"Don't worry, love, I got it," you chuckled. "I am much capable of setting a party table on my own."

"C'mon, you make me feel like I'm not good enough to do simple things, babe," he laughed with you, though his words triggered something in your brain.

"Oh yeah?" you quipped. "These are some pictures from the last time you set the table for dinner…"

In the photo, the table linen was frowned up, the forks were out of place, some placements didn't even have certain utensils. The plates were pushed to the center, chairs closer to the edge than the food was.

"Oh..." he giggled lifelessly.

"Now you see why you don't use super speed to set up something like that?"

"I mean, I don't think it's the super speed, darling. I was simply being blinded by your beauty that day."

 Your laugh thundered in the room. "Go away MG, I'm not letting you win today!"

"Aw dammit! Alright, love, I'll let you get back to your project," he stated before he walked out of the room.

--Meanwhile--

"Jo?"

"Yeah, Hope?"

The Saltzman twin had been brushing her hair in the mirror, getting ready for the game night later.

"You look gorgeous, so stop taking out every strand of your hair with this damn brush," Hope stated before yanking the brush out of the younger girls' hand. 

Josie embraced Hope in a warm hug. "Thanks, Hope."

~-~-~

"Alright, everyone. Welcome to 'The Super Squad Bi-Weekly Game Night.' I'm your host, Y/N L/N, and you're watching Disney Channel." All of the friends burst out laughing. "Tough crowd, I see I see. Well, let's move on with the game, shall we?"

"First up introducing, He's the founder, he's the mediator, He is… MILTON GREASLEY!!"

They all clapped and cheered for MG before you moved on.

"Next up, She's the brain, she's the brawn. She is the tribrid, and she's got it going on, Hope Mikaelson!!"

Whoops and cheers echoed throughout the room. 

You continued through all of your friends.

"The realistic, the cynic, the man with raps for days… Kaleb Hawkins!!"

"The sweet, the kind, but she can fuck up your mind, Josie Salvatore!!" 

"She's sarcastic, totally bombastic, Lizzie Saltzman everybody!!"

"And ME! Could you tell I was trying to sound like those game show hosts everybody? No? Well, I was. Anyways young ones-" You wore a giant grin to emphasize the corniness of what you were saying before continuing.

"Alright, I'm dropping the act. It's too hard, jeez!" They all laughed at your antics. "I hope you guys are laughing with me and not at me."

You explained the rules for the game of teams.

“Here’s the way it goes, each player has the same amount of money they would have in a regular game of monopoly. However, every team only has one token, teams must make agreements on all purchases, trades, and decisions. Teams must take turns rolling the dice, and one team member must always be present at the board.” 

“Alright.”

“Sounds easy”

“Let’s play!”

You stared at them dumbfounded. “I memorized and recited all that without stumbling on my words, and all I get is ‘sounds easy’?”

MG stood to comfort you. 

“It’s alright, love,” he said, rubbing your shoulders lightly before pulling away. You scoffed.

“Alright then, let’s play. In this hat, I have slips of paper with all of your names, but first, in this bucket are sticks with numbers that will determine the order of selection. Step forward.”

They all stepped forward and grasped the popsicle sticks prior to stepping away from the bucket. 

"Who has number 1?"

"Oh, I do!" Lizzie stepped forward and drew a slip of paper from the hat.

"Kaleb"

She and Kaleb sat back down at the table. 

"Number 2?" 

Hope stepped forward. 

"MG"

They also went to go sit down beside Lizzie and Kaleb.

"That leaves me and you, Jo," you stated happily. Jo and yourself had one of the best team duos. In school, you two would be partnered up for projects often. With that experience of communication, you were sure to win. 

You joined the rest of your friends at the table. Lizzie and Kaleb named their team, Team Siphon Vamp. Hope and MG had been Team 3 in 2, and you and Josie were the 'Twitches from two different misuses.' 

"Alright, before the token selection, I must announce the prize of the game.

"The winners of the game will receive a dish duty pass for the rest of the week." Cheers louder than before erupted in the room.

"Lettuce commence!" The silence in the room was lethally quiet, and you could quite literally hear crickets. "Get it? Because lettuce sounds like let us?"

"It's ok, babe, let's just play," MG said before pulling you down. You grumped before deciding with Josie on the Penguin. Hope and MG had picked the dog, and Lizzie and Kaleb had chosen the dinosaur. 

You, acting as the banker, dished out the money to all the players, and you commenced the game. 

Lizzie and Kaleb went first. Lizzie rolled the dice, rolled 7, and landed on a chance card, which told her to advance to the nearest railroad, and they bought it. Hope and MG went next.

MG rolled a 5 and landed directly on Team Siphon Vamp's freshly purchased railroad, M100 out of their pocket already.

"Ooooh… MG…. Honey, you're losing money faster than you did when that PS5 came out, babe."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, ok! I'm still gonna kick your ass!"

You were taunting him. "You sure about that, love?"

"Yep!"

"You didn't even try to "kick my ass" last night, darling," you smirked.

Oohs erupted from your friends, and it was evident you knocked his ego down a peg.

At last, it was your team's turn. You and Josie each took one die in your hands and rolled it. You had landed a 6 and a 4, which landed you a visit to jail.

"Look who's losing now! You're literally in jail, babe," Hope teased Josie. 

"Oh, whatever. Focus more on your lives-"

"-And less on ours!" your duo quipped. 

Lizzie protested to this. "Hey hey hey!! That is my twin! Only I get to finish her sentences!"

You all laughed at this but continued your game.

Almost 15 rounds later, and everyone had a fair standing in the game. 

Team Siphon Vamp had had 2 monopolies, on the railroads and on the pink properties. 

Hope and MG had 3 already, the dark blue properties, the brown, and utilities. They also had 2 greens cards, the other being in the hands of you and Josie, as well as 1 red card that was being aimed for by you and Josie, who had the other 2 properties. 

You guys also had monopolies on the yellow and orange properties. If you got the red card of Kentucky Avenue, you would be unstoppable. 

 "Baby," you called out. 

"Yes, love?"

"I'll give you the other green for the red," you and Josie smiled.

"That's not fair babe, you'll own the corner," he protested.

"But the green is worth more. Please?" you pleaded, giving him puppy dog eyes.

Before he could utter another word, Josie spoke. 

"We'll give you M100, and your first landing on any one of our properties will be free of rent."

Hope spoke up. "Sounds good to me!"

"Hell no! You're gonna have to do something way better than that before you fool this genius."

You whined.

"Fine, I'll give you one of my signatures back walks," you leveraged, knowing full well he couldn't resist. "C'mon, baby, I know how much your back has been hurting."

He agreed reluctantly. "Fine, but it better be worth it!"

Team Twitches cheered. 

"Wait, what about us! We'll be demolished, you selfish weirdos." This was true. Lizzie and Kaleb were low on cash, they had rushed too fast to place houses, and now they were paying the price.

"Tough luck!" Hope and Josie chorused.

 Soon, it had been as you all thought.  Kaleb and Lizzie were in debt to Hope and MG. They had landed on Boardwalk Avenue, and it had 3 hotels on it, so they owed them M6000, M6000 they did not have.

Soon, they ended up relinquishing all their properties back to the bank for auction to pay off Hope and MG, gave them the rest of their money, and had to leave the game.

 With 2 full monopolies from Lizzie and Kaleb, along with the last green property they needed, they had successfully turned the game around. Now it was Josie and you who were losing. 

You all decided at this point to split the teams. Each team dividing both the cash and the monopolies equally, and two more pieces were added to the board, on the same spots as their former teammates, and you resumed.

Josie was soon knocked out due to MG within 5 rounds, and Hope was quick to crumble under your might, two turn-loops after that. They joined Lizzie and Kaleb at the pool table. They were now drinking beers since they no longer needed to be sober.

Soon it was just you and MG left in the game. 

MG leaned forward closer to you while you were deciding what to do with your turn.

"You know what you could do, darling?" He whispered provocatively in your ear. "Give in."

You pushed him away. You were not going to lose to MG and his self-righteous ego that night. 

"Shut up."

"Give in, baby. I know you want to."

"Shut up, Milton."

"Hey, Hey, Hey!" He yelled. "No need to get hostile!"

You decided you hadn't wanted to place any more houses, well, you couldn't at the moment. You rolled the dice but were in for a bitter-sweet realization.

You had been ready to pay an M100 luxury tax fee before you realized you landed on Boardwalk, one of the monopolies Hope had let MG keep in the split. MG had only since put 2 more hotels on it, and the price was now M10,000

"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"

Soon, your friends rushed over to where you two sat and began cackling, all except Josie, who was still hoping her former teammate would avenge her.

"Babe.."

You began selling your hotels and houses back to the bank, but it still wasn't enough. You sold your properties and gave the rest of your money to MG, but you still owed a few hundred Monopoly dollars. 

"Fuck!"

 He kissed your cheek, much to your dismay, and happily accepted his victory. 

~-~-~

It had been almost 2 weeks, and you were still giving MG the silent treatment. He had been gloating about his win for the entire night, and you were livid.

You knew he didn't deserve it, but you didn't think you deserved to lose either. 

You were staring at the ceiling. You had just woken up, and MG wasn't beside you. 

You had hated those moments. No matter how mad you were at MG,  you hated when you woke up, and he wasn't beside you. 

After all, you guys had been through so much, and you were always worried that he would die abruptly and leave you. Even after the threat was over, you still felt this way.

After a few minutes, MG had come into the room, Kaleb at his side. Kaleb looked bored, and his face said all you needed to know... he didn't want to be there. 

He was carrying a pot of pink hydrangeas in one hand and a pot of coffee in the other. He placed both on the nightstand beside you, disappearing for a short while, before coming back with a giant fruit bouquet in his hands. He set it on the nightstand as well before exiting the room and closing the door.

MG had carried a platter of all your favorite foods. Eggs, just the way you liked them, pancakes, hash browns, and your favorite flavor of yogurt. He had also gone ahead and made a smoothie bowl with your favorite fruits. Berries and banana chips littered the surface of it. 

He placed the platter on the portable desk you had in your room for breakfast and bed and set it down, just above your lap. He then went to the mini-fridge in your room and got all the ingredients he needed to make your coffee just the way you liked it as well as a glass to pour it in.

"I'm sorry for bragging," he apologized. "I know how much you like to win, and it was very insensitive of me." He looked like he wanted to laugh at how ridiculous the reason he was apologizing for was. You turned your eyes away from him and the delicious breakfast he made.

"But baby, I miss you."

He walked over to you. "Please talk to me!"

He started trailing kisses on your forehead, down to your neck, resisting the urge to sink his teeth inside, something you had taught him. He knew exactly how to make you forgive him, and he was using every technique he had learned over the years.

"Please?" He whined, and you could see his pouty eyes without looking. 

He sucked on your collarbone for a while and left a dark mark. Then he moved to the sensitive spot under your ear. 

You moaned slightly, but he could hear it, even without his vampire hearing. 

He pulled away, causing you to frown and whine. 

"MG…" you complained. "That's not fair."

"So you're talking to me now?"

You looked away, you had slipped up, but you told yourself that would be the last time.

You simply ignored him and started to eat your breakfast.

He walked back towards you and began nibbling on your ear.  You threw your head back in pleasure. 

"Look at me, darling." 

He reached his nimble fingers out to your face and trapped your chin between his thumb and forefinger.

"I said I'm sorry, and I really, really miss my girlfriend. I made you a nice breakfast, and I've let you pick the movie every night since monopoly. What more do you want?"

You moved the tray of food to the side of you and stared at him indignantly. 

"I wanted my boyfriend to not be an egotistical asshole. I thought I was dating MG the vampire, not Jed the werewolf."

"I'm sorry... What can I do to make it up to you, love?"

"Let me out of that back walk favor?"

He scrunched up his face in horror. "That was part of our deal."

"Technically, you're not even supposed to be able to make outside game deals in monopoly, so you could let me out if you wanted to."

"Fine." 

"Yay! Those hurt. They're so energy draining."

"Can I kiss you?"

"Yes, you can," you smiled.

READ HERE ON AO3 or under the read more

Chapter 1: The hero thing's not just for the broody, you know?

Professor Saltzman’s office is dimly lit by the lamp on his mahogany desk, wind rustling loudly against the open window that slams against one of the bookshelves incessantly behind Lizzie. Josie, frustrated, silently closes her hand and slams it shut, half startling her twin, who sits perched atop of her dad’s desk, picking grapes out of a yellow bowl. 

“Are you sure you’re okay? It's not every day you’re transported into an alternate timeline by a mud pit monster”. Josie paces, hands crossed over her chest now, worried wrinkles creasing between her eyebrows. 

Lizzie looks behind her, towards the window frame, holding a grape to her mouth.

“I’m fine”. Lizzie says, exhaling, turning, and continuing with a grape halfway in her mouth. “Starving. Out of all the things I could assume dimension traveling does to you –– you know, aside from the crippling motion sickness that you feel when you come through a hell portal –– I would’ve never thought hunger was one of them. Do you think this is what vamps feel when they’re first turned?”

Josie stops, her frown more prominent. “I’m pretty sure the answer’s no”. 

Lizzie shrugs, swinging her legs and hopping off Alaric’s desk, leaving the bowl behind.

“Well, I’m fine”.

“Do you want to talk about what happened? We tried everything to find a way to get you back. Alyssa Chang helped. She felt bad about… Everything, but I don’t think there’s a book about dimension hopping anywhere in this school, so we had to wing it. Unsuccessfully”. 

Lizzie rolls the sleeves of the sweater she’s wearing, an apologetic smile on her lips, whether it's about Alyssa Chang and her attempt to mend things between them or not thanking Josie for trying to save her despite the odds set against them when she had the chance, she doesn’t know. Or maybe it's not about Josie and Alyssa at all…

“It was weird. Different. Everything was. Mystic Falls looked exactly the same except the Salvatore School didn’t exist ––”

“Dad mentioned you said that”. Josie interjects.

“–– And for a while I thought about setting out to find our doppelgängers, or us or whatever, but then I thought about all those movies where the time traveling hunk finds himself in a different timeline and it all goes to hell, and I got a little freaked out so I wandered around town for a while, went to the Mystic Grill and... Saw dad.” 

Josie doesn't have to look at Lizzie to know exactly what her tone means. “Oh?”

Lizzie’s face falls. “Yeah. He was drinking. A lot. I didn’t stay long enough to talk though. How do you explain to him that you’re his daughter in a timeline where fairytale monsters try to kill us like, bi-weekly? So I decided to come here instead”. 

“And that’s when you found out our school didn’t exist?” 

“Another one did. Hope’s”. Lizzie deadpans.

That finally makes Josie quit her pacing, making Lizzie feel less on edge, not having to watch her walk back and forth in the small space of their dad’s office anymore. It's been making her anxious, twiddling with the bowl of grapes that she absentmindedly pulled to the corner of the desk while she was talking. She pushes it away from the edge, waiting for Josie to recover, to give her that look that urges her to continue. 

“The Mikaelson School. That’s how I got back. She helped me make a portal back home, but we spent weeks researching magic that helps you travel through time and space. It felt like I was stuck in an episode of Star Journey ––”

“Trek”. 

“–– But she was different. I mean, she was still Hope but cockier, meaner…” Hotter. Lizzie catches herself, reaching again, for the bowl of grapes just to find something to do with her hands. “Her parents were alive”. 

Somewhere out there, in a world parallel to their own but not quite right, Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall were still alive. Somewhere out there, in a timeline not too far from this one, Hope had grown up with the care and love that she lost when she was barely fifteen years old. Grief changes people, forges them into unimaginable things; for this Hope, her Hope, it was all about atonement, weighed by the guilt of her family legacy and the isolation of being the only one of her kind. In that world, Hope didn’t carry the weight of the world on her shoulders, didn’t feel the need to isolate herself from her peers or the fear of losing the people she loved every waking day of her life. In many ways, meeting Hope in a different reality had helped Lizzie put things in perspective, and perhaps even understand her in ways she hadn’t before. Understand them, their connection, the palpable animosity that had turned into a reluctant friendship and now something far more tangible. 

The rest, well, she doesn’t tell Josie. Not about waking up after three weeks away from her real home, tucked under the covers of Hope’s bed with their clothes discarded around the dormitory, with a light sheen of sweat on her forehead and her hair sticking to her cheekbones. There were some things better left unsaid. 

“Are you planning on telling her?” Josie asks, breaking Lizzie from her trance. “She might want to know. Maybe”.

She wouldn’t know where to start. She wouldn’t know how to soften the blow. She wouldn’t even know if Hope would take any of it kindly, knowing there was a world where she could have been happy, where no one she loved had to die to save her. Let alone a world where she ends up tangled in her bedspread, sweaty and naked ––

“Lizzie?” 

“Oh, sorry. Yeah. I think I should talk to her”. Finally, she leaves the bowl of grapes alone, picking one last one before stepping forward. “Do you know where she is?” 

“Last I knew she was with MG, they were looking for the monster.” 

“It's been weeks! I thought you guys would’ve killed it by now”. Indignantly, Lizzie crosses her arms.

Josie grimaces. “Lizzie, it's only been two days”. 

Lizzie sets towards the door. 

“Lizzie, wait!” Josie pulls her by the back of her sweater. Lizzie stumbles, but catches her balance. “It's not safe. You could be sucked back in through a portal”. 

“I’m not going to leave Hope and MG fighting that thing alone. At least I know how to make my way back this time”. 

And she shrugs her off, disappearing out the door before Josie has the chance to stop her.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A piercing, painful hiss echoes through the trees, scattered around the back of The Salvatore School. Hope clutches a sharp, lethal looking knife in her hand as she flies through the linen of maple wood, crashing through the branches and huffing loudly as she rolls through the mud covered ground, leaving tracks in her path and skidding to a stop near a pair of white boots. She groans, rolling over and finding, not the starry night sky and the leaves rustling above her, but Lizzie Saltzman, looking straight ahead at the snake-like monster screeching in the distance. 

There’s no time for pleasantries though, as Hope pushes herself up on her elbows. “Lizzie, watch out!” 

And Lizzie ducks, instinctively; a log flies past her head and crashes against the tree behind her, taking Hope’s hand to help her back on her feet and using it as an opportunity to siphon enough magic to be useful in a fight. When she looks ahead, wiping her dirty hands on her sweats, she spots MG through the branches, face down on the mud and seemingly unconscious. 

“Is MG okay?!” Lizzie shrieks, right as the giant snake creature uses its tail to send another branch flying past their heads. They duck for cover behind a tree and Hope peeks around to get a good look ahead.

“He’s fine. The monster caught us by surprise and snapped his neck. I’ve been keeping it distracted, waiting for him to wake up”. 

“Yeah, he’s doing great, Hope! Way to go!” 

Hope ignores her. The wind picks up pace, looking like a storm is approaching, taking the leaves from the muddy ground with it as clouds line up in the sky and obscure the moonlight. It’s waning; the full moon is only a few days away ––

“Where’d it go?” 

Suddenly, it's eerily quiet; Hope’s shoes make crunching sounds against the leaves below, stepping out from behind the tree with her knife pointed forward. Behind her, Lizzie follows, turning around and walking backwards until she collides with Hope’s back. It doesn’t seem to startle Hope, who momentarily reaches behind her to touch Lizzie’s wrist. 

“This is freaking me out”. 

“Be quiet”. Hope hisses.

And Lizzie presses her lips together; she’s sure Hope can hear her rapidly accelerating heartbeat. The last time her heart raced anywhere near Hope Mikaelson they were in various states of undress, and Hope had grinned triumphantly as she cornered Lizzie against ––

“Uh, Hope? Hope!” Lizzie reaches behind her. Hope must have sensed her tension, because she turns around just in time to see it too. The snake-like creature slithers out through a hazy looking hole, baring its teeth and launching itself through the air. Lizzie puts her hands up, but she’s roughly pushed out of the way as Hope takes a guarded stance on the ground and chants a spell under her breath. 

“Ictus!” It sends the monster flying backwards, into the portal it came out of. Lizzie groans as she scrambles off the ground and the portal closes with a resounding hush. Hope rushes to Lizzie’s side, examining her body for injuries, but she comes out of the collision relatively unscathed, save for a bruise she knows she’ll be feeling well into next week on her left shoulder blade. 

“Are you okay?” Hope sounds genuinely concerned; she knows that worried look in her eyes, she’d seen it, not only on the other side of the portal, but here too. Except this time it’s not Landon that Hope is cradling, it's her, and she’s searching for any signs of distress just like she would’ve in another lifetime. 

Lizzie swallows, nodding. “I’m fine”. 

“You need to go”. 

“Like hell I am!” She protests, pushing Hope away from her. “I’m not letting you fight this thing alone”.

Hope is startled by the whiplashing display of softness and animosity, but she doesn’t have time to question Lizzie’s sudden change of demeanor, because below her, the monster conjures another portal, and his hook-like claws extend to yank Hope’s feet from underneath her, sending her crashing against the ground and tossing the knife at Lizzie’s feet. 

“Hope!” Lizzie launches herself forward, catching Hope’s hand as she’s dragged back a few feet behind her. The monster is strong, strong enough to drag both of them down into a hell dimension, but Lizzie acts quickly –– “Immobilus!” And anchors herself to the ground as Hope attempts to pull herself up and away from the monster’s claw. Lizzie grits her teeth as Hope struggles to get back up –– she yanks and the monster pulls harder. Hope digs her fingers into the dirt and turns to kick the monster’s claw away from her. It hisses, raising it’s razor sharp hook and sinking it down on her arm. 

Lizzie can hear Hope’s breath hitch, the pain making Hope let go of her arm as she’s dragged a few inches down the ground again. She pulls herself up on her hands and knees, crawling towards Hope in an attempt to reach her, but when her fingers slip right through Hope’s when she tries to launch herself forward again, she watches Hope’s foot almost touch the edge of the portal. So Lizzie chants, and the creature shrieks so violently it lets go of Hope’s forearm. When Hope turns, the monster’s claw is bent in two –– Lizzie had broken whatever bone was underneath it as a last minute effort to save her. 

The adrenaline between them is palpable. Hope pushes herself up on her feet in such a graceful way it distracts Lizzie long enough to stay on the ground until Hope holds out her hand. She takes it, pulling herself up and wiping the leaves away from her sweat pants. 

“Thanks for the save”. Hope huffs, making sure Lizzie’s found her footing before letting go of her hand. Lizzie closes it, disappointed by its absence. 

“The hero thing’s not just for the broody, you know?”

Hope laughs, Lizzie grins. The wind picks up pace again, making Hope turn ahead, where another portal appears between the trees. Hope quickly picks up the knife from the ground, ready to strike again, but when the creature fully emerges from the portal, it does nothing but stand there, looking at them with its wings outstretched. 

“Ew! What kind of Harry Potter crap is that?” Lizzie makes a face, already taking a few steps back behind Hope. 

“A snake. We think”. 

“How do we kill it?” 

“I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure beheading is lethal for all supernatural monsters”. Hope grips the knife harder. The creature hisses, rattling its tongue in Hope’s direction before slithering back through the portal and disappearing into nothingness. 

The wind finally settles and the clouds clear, slowly but surely, making the stars visible in the sky again. Whatever sense of impending doom had made its way through Hope’s body, it's gone now. Lizzie however, frantically looks around, expecting the snake to attack any second. Hope looks at her, at her shaking fingertips, the frantic turning, the way she looks for MG from the corner of her eye, but only lets Lizzie freak out for a few seconds, before she reaches for her wrist. 

Lizzie’s breath hitches. She looks down at Hope’s hand clutching her wrist and urging her to stop. She swallows, looks at her for reassurance. 

“I think it’s gone”. Hope says. “The wind stopped blowing”. 

Lizzie nods. 

Behind them, the leaves blow. They turn at the same time, only to hear MG groaning as he comes to, slowly getting to his feet. He rubs the back of his neck, looks around for the creature, until he spots Hope and Lizzie in the distance. 

“Heeey, guys. Hey. Did we kill it?” 

Hope and Lizzie roll their eyes in unison. They’re standing too close for comfort, enough that Lizzie feels the crevices between her boots wetting, she looks down, blood tinting her white Doc Martens and the leaves below them. When she turns to examine Hope, she notices the gash on her arm, so she reaches for it, frowning. 

“Does it hurt?” 

It’s soft Lizzie once again, Hope notices. With worry in her eyes and a gentleness to her voice she’s a little unfamiliar with. Hope swallows. “A little”. 

“We should patch you up”. Lizzie lets go; for a second she almost takes Hope’s hand, but decides against it. Instead, she tucks them inside the pockets of her sweat pants as they both turn to the direction of the school. 

“Guys?” In the distance, MG calls out. “Wait up. I think I need an aspirin”. 

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

“MG looked happy to see you”. 

Sitting at the edge of Hope’s bed, Lizzie smiles, carefully wrapping a bandage around Hope’s forearm, where the monster had dug its claws and left a sizable gash on her skin. Rationally, she knows Hope will heal, but finds no reason not to aid the healing process and make Hope’s pain more manageable. Besides, it's an excuse to sit close to her, even if she’s not particularly interested in the direction this conversation was going. She’s more interested in knowing how Hope felt about her return, rather than anyone else’s. 

“I was gone a while”. Lizzie offers, concentrating on the bandage. Hope lets her have her way with her arm, lifting and lowering at her own discrepancy. “Though, Jo told me it was only for a couple of days. It was weeks there”. 

“Really?” Hope asks curiously. 

“Like three weeks, a little more”. She doesn’t give Hope a chance to ask any more questions, continuing. “What was that thing anyway? The monster. Does it have a name?”

Hope looks at Lizzie’s hands as she finishes wrapping the bandage around her. “Wade called it a Dimensional Warper, I guess from one of his games. Dungeons and monsters ––” 

“–– Dragons”. 

“Yeah, that. Anyway, he said that Dimensional Warpers create portals to other timelines and dimensions, and can move freely between them. It warped you to another reality when we were tracking it down, we were closing in on it, or you were. With that tracking spell.”

“Do we know why it's here?” 

Hope shakes her head. A beat. “Probably me”. 

Lizzie says nothing, grimacing and, taping Hope’s bandage together carefully, rattled by the idea that something so gruesome was capable of completely disappearing anyone from their world. But what had been three and a half weeks for Lizzie, had only been two days for Hope. She can’t help but wonder how much time it would’ve taken them to find her –– would they have tortured the monster, would they have found a spell that could warp her back to this reality, would they have never gotten to her at all? What about Hope? What if Lizzie hadn’t run to the woods just in time to help?

“We tried my aunt Freya’s grimoire”. Hope breaks the silence, probably sensing Lizzie’s sudden uneasiness. “We tried everything. Alyssa Chang and your sister read so many books I think they paper-burned their fingerprints off. I’m just glad you’re back, and that you’re okay”. 

“Yeah. Me too”. Lizzie says, plainly, looking at Hope’s arms, the tank top, the twig stuck to her hair that she reaches for and takes between her fingertips. “I had help”. 

“From who?” Its genuine curiosity. Hope’s eyelids flutter, as Lizzie continues to pick the leaves from her hair, distracted suddenly. 

“A very powerful witch”. 

Lizzie offers nothing further, and Hope senses that whatever happened on the other side, Lizzie was not ready to share yet. If she knows anything about Lizzie Saltzman though, is that she will, eventually, when she feels like sharing, even if unprompted. It makes Hope smile for a second, but it drops, when she wonders if Lizzie had actually gone through something horrible somewhere none of her friends or her family could help her. 

She turns to ask, to make sure she’s okay. Their eyes meet; Lizzie lowers Hope’s arm and closes the first aid kit. It’s electric, like a jolt, deja vu, but maybe it's just Lizzie’s wishful thinking. This Hope could never possibly have an interest in her, could she?

Hope clears her throat.

“You should probably get some rest and I should find Kaleb and the rest of the vampires. Make sure we have someone on the lookout, in case the snake decides to make a comeback while we’re sleeping”. Not that Hope is planning on sleeping with an impending threat still lurking around school grounds. “Thanks, for the help and for patching me up”. 

“You’re welcome”. 

They look at each other again, stand up at the same time. There’s little to no space between them and Lizzie takes a sudden step back, losing her footing. Hope grasps her by the arm before she tumbles. “Sorry”. Hope says. 

“Don’t be. Thanks”. 

And Hope lets go, taking the first aid kit from the bed before Lizzie gets a chance to. “I’ll just put this away”. Lizzie nods. 

After Hope puts the first aid kit back in her closet and turns around, Lizzie’s already gone.

new masterlist | prompt list | color prompts

Mate? Y/N was Jed’s mate? How in the actual hell was that even possible? 

“No, no there’s no way. Mr. S, there’s no way Y/N is my mate. Vampire-Siphoners, or whatever the hell she is-” 

Alaric interrupted him, “A heretic,” He corrected.

Jed huffed, “Fine, whatever a heretic, cannot be a werewolf’s mate.” He stood up roughly, “I’m sorry Mr. Saltzman, but I think you’re wrong.” With that the boy quickly walked out of the headmaster’s office and went to find his alpha.

Of course Raphael was hanging with Landon, who was with Hope, who just so happened to be with MG, Kaleb, and Y/N. Great, that’s fantastic.

They were all looking at their textbooks, writing down and highlighting important things. Jed was hoping that deep down Y/N wouldn’t look up at him and thankfully she didn’t, she was too focused on the content in her textbook.

“Raphael,” Jed said a bit harshly, catching everyone’s attention but Y/N’s, “I need to talk with you,” He looked at Hope before saying, “And you too.” The two teens looked at each other before getting up and following Jed to a far corner where he was sure the other vampires couldn’t hear their conversation.

“What is Jed? We were kind busy,” Hope said crossing her arms.

Raphael sighed, “What is it man?” 

Jed took in a deep breathe before spitting out, “Y/N is my mate.” But instead of it coming out like a normal sentence, it came out as one long, jumbled sentence. The look on the two teens faces told him he had to repeat himself and so he did, this time slower.

“So, Y/N- she’s your mate? What- what does that even mean?” Raphael was confused, which didn’t surprise Jed one bit.

“It means that Y/N is who Jed is meant to be with, like a soulmate but in a supernatural kind of way.” She chuckled a bit, “I find it very ironic that she’s your mate considering how much you hate on vampires and witches, she just so happens to be both.” 

Jed growled lowly, “It’s not funny, Hope. This is serious. What am I supposed to do? She just got here, if I tell her now she’ll probably freak out and leave the school entirely.” 

“Then don’t tell her,” Raphael said, earning a disapproving look from Hope, “Not yet at least. Why don’t you get to know her, talk to her, become her friend first. See if she feels the connection like you do and then if she does you tell her.” 

Hope shrugged, “Sounds like a good plan. She’s new, she feels left out which is why we’ve hung around her, we want her to know that the vampires and witches are on her side. Maybe you should do the same, show the other werewolves that she’s not as bad as everyone thinks she is.” 

Jed nodded, thanking them and then walking away. His eyes lingered on his mate for a moment, his heart thudding so hard in his chest that he was sure the vampires nearby could hear him. He had to figure out how he would talk to her without fumbling over his words, which was going to be harder than he thought. He had to wait until Y/N was by herself, and then he would ask her. Maybe when lunch was about to start? That way she could eat lunch with the wolves and see that not everyone thought she was a monster.

When the time came he waited and waited until she was walking down the stairs and that’s when he asked her, “Hey! Y/N!” He basically all but shouted, which caught the attention of some other people. Jed stepped in front of Y/N who seemed a bit confused that he was talking to her at all. He cleared his throat and then asked, “Do you want to sit with my pack at lunch? You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but I- uh- I just thought it’d be nice since you’re new and all.” God he sounded so stupid, but he was hoping it would work.

“Uh, yeah I guess..” Y/N seemed a bit nervous about the whole thing, especially since the wolves had been giving her dirty looks since the moment she arrived.

Jed grinned, “Great!” He hadn’t meant to sound so excited but for some reason he couldn’t help it, “Uhm, this way.” He said as he lead the way. Y/N followed behind him, trying to not pay attention to all the stares she was getting as she did so. She knew what everyone around her was probably thinking, but it was in her best interest to try and push that aside. 

When they reached the werewolves lunch table it was like everyone in the room stopped to watch was happening. Y/N tensed up as she looked around and examined everyone’s faces. They seemed.. disgusted, to say the least. 

“I- uhm are you sure it’s okay for me to sit here, I can just go- I don’t want to start any trouble.” Y/N became unsure of her current situation and began to think that this was going to be some horrible joke that everyone was playing on her. 

As she started to back up and move to exit the dining hall, Jed quickly reached out and softly grabbed her hand, making her head snap back in his direction. “It’s okay, you can sit with us. Plus I’m sure you’d like to meet some more of our student body.” Jed smiled as he tried to remain as calm as possible. Y/N nodded and pulled out the chair next to him and sat down. Her y/e/c eyes casted down quickly to avoid the harsh stares she was getting from some of the people around her.

“What’s the blood sucker doing here?” Someone said as they approached the table.Y/N looked up, which she instantly regretted. It was a girl, who was just absolutely breathtaking. Y/N felt herself sink back into her chain and fiddle with her daylight ring.

“Her name is Y/N and she’ll be sitting with us today, so she can meet more students.” Jed said in her defence.

Why was he doing this? Why did even care? 

The girl scoffed and sat down with some other students, unfortunately they all sat down across from  Y/N and Jed.

“So, where are you from, Y/N?” The girl who had just previously called her ‘blood sucker’ asked, no doubt wanting to know so she could say some harsh words.

“Philadelphia.” She answered shortly as she sat up a bit. 

The girl nodded and crossed her arms as she leaned back, “And how are the Philly cheesesteaks there? Are they as good as people claim, or would even know since all you drink is blood?” Some of the other wolves chuckled at her, but Y/N just narrowed her eyes. If she wanted to play that game, she’ll play it.

“They’re good, I wouldn’t know about the blood though, too much cholesterol up there.” Y/N responded.

Y/N could see the girl visibly grind her teeth at her response. “How’d you die?” Straight to the good stuff.

“Hunters. They killed my whole coven.” The table went silent and the girl swallowed thickly. “Little did they know what they were bringing to the table.”

“I’m so sorry,” Jed said softly, placing his hand on top of hers that was now resting on the table. Y/N looked down and then back up to him, but Jed was already looking at the students in front of them. “Why would you ask her something like that? She didn’t ask you how you triggered your transformation.” That seemed to hit a spot.

“Shut it, Jed.” The girl’s focus went back to Y/N. “I wanna see how powerful this chick really is.”

Y/N shook her head and scoffed and pushed herself away from the table. “If that’s all you people wanted to see you can just go fuck yourselves.” She pushed in her chair and started to walk away but as she was she used her vamp speed and senses to turn around and stop a knife that the girl had thrown at her. Everyone watched as Y/N’s eyes went from their natural color to a bright, mesmerizing golden color. Gasps were heard from around the room, as this was unheard of.

WIthout hesitation the vampires and witches were at Y/N’s side, protecting their new friend. Meanwhile the werewolves watched in astonishment at the sight, and the girl who threw the knife stubbled back. With a small movement of her hand, Y/N placed the knife back on the table without moving an inch from where she stood. 

“It was nice to meet you.” She turned on her heel and exited the dining hall, even though Hope and Jed were calling her name. Hope walked over to the wolves and glared at the girl.

“What the hell was that? Are you trying to make her hate you guys?” She looked at Jed, “I thought you were going to get them to like her, not try to kill her on her fist day.” 

Jed frowned, “That wasn’t my intention at all, I swear.” He looked over at the girl who all but cowered away from his rough glance.

Hope scoffed and shook her head as she crossed her arms, “Yeah, well nice going with that. If I were you I’d tell your pack that they owe her an apology for embarrassing her like that in front of the whole school.” She shook her head as she walked back over to Landon, Lizzie, and Josie. Raphael stood with his adopted brother and just shook his head in disappointment.

Jed sighed and grabbed his things and left the room. He wanted to apologize to Y/N for the way his pack treated her, wanted to make it up to her in some way but he didn’t know how he was going to do that.

Walking down the hallway to Y/N’s room he was about to knock on the door when he stopped and saw what looked like constellations coming from her room, but that wasn’t the only thing. He could hear her crying. Stepping closer he looked through the crack in her door and saw that her whole room looked like it was in space. It was pitch black but their were stars covering every inch of her room. He looked around and saw her laying on her bed. Hands spread open as they shot the beams of darkness stars, and that’s when he realized she was doing that. 

When he stopped focusing on the fact that she was doing something so amazing he himself almost started crying at the sound of his mate crying. Sure he didn’t know her that well but he could feel their bond slowly growing stronger and he wanted nothing more than just to comfort her and tell her it’s all going to be okay. 

The cherry on top of it all though, was when she said into the open air, “I wish I wasn’t me.”

Okay, as of episode 10 of s1 of Legacies, my favorite character is Lizzie.

I mean I like most of the other characters. Especially Hope (who is extremely cool and badass and also possessing both a good heart and a darkness that's rather familiar, she's a Mikaelson alright) and Josie (who's just as much of a mess as her sister except in different ways and I enjoy her slight pyromania).

Also Kaleb (there's a lot of ego, and some iffy morality but there's layers there, I want to see more of his 'doesn't want to be the bad guy but is afraid that being a vampire makes him evil' thing and his genuine 'vamps stick together' loyalty)

But to me, Lizzie is the most INTERESTING so far. I think it's all those issues she has.

And damn did she shine in the wishverse episode (I knew she was clearly influenced by Cordelia Chase, but I really didn't expect her to go full Cordy and try to wish the main hero out of her own town only to end up creating a dystopian hellscape).

Also I kinda have this growing urge to shake some sense into Alaric. Like, I get the pull to take Hope under his wing, and I know he does love his daughters, but he really does need to pay some attention to how he keeps turning to Hope to the EXCLUSION of his daughters.

(but I wouldn't go so far as to say he's a BAD father, at least not yet, he just needs someone to give him a slap to the noggin)

But back to Lizzie and her wish palooza (side note: learn from the Scoobies, kids, NO USING THE 'W' WORD).

I enjoyed her trope awareness. Lizzie very quickly recognized a genie (not that it was exactly hard what with her looking like she was pulled straight out of Aladdin), and figured out that she maybe had to give the realities a chance before abandoning them.

And her figuring out that loophole? Was BRILLIANT. I was honestly just as proud of her as she was of herself when she came up with it.

And honestly I'm relieved that at least one of the innocent "monsters" got out of it without getting killed. It really was bad luck for the genie, like getting snagged one year before she could earn her freedom? That's messed up.

And the acting, as Lizzie was unraveling because Josie was dead and apparently she had killed her? And later, just before it was all put to right and she realized that she would lose her forewarning? Hit me straight in the chest.

Or that moment where the genie said that she chose Lizzie because she was broken and Lizzie responded with 'That just means you can't break me any more.'? That was so good.

Anyway. I really love Lizzie.

Some things I want from Legacies S3

This is going to be all over the place and pretty long. This’ll start with the general storyline things, then get down into smaller character arcs and whatnot. I’ll try to keep it somewhat organized and grouped by character but I make no promises. Also if you wanna talk about any of these feel free to dm! I’m incredibly bored in quarantine and would love to chat

- An introduction of a greater storyline past Malivore and moving away from the monster of the week thing. I know Legacies is supposed to be something different from TVD and TO, and the monster of the week concept is an interesting way to explore the universe past what we already knew, but with the premise as it exists and has been carried out now, it’s hard to develop the characters and relationships. If the characters are fighting new things every week, that makes it hard to give characters like MG and Kaleb their own stories. With a villain to anchor the season as the Big Bad, we can get characters that haven’t been given much of their own storyline a way to get more screentime as they go try and find someone or something with answers.

- GIVE HOPE HER OWN STORYLINE PAST BEING THE HERO/MARTYR AND BEING IN LOVE WITH LANDON. Hope is supposed to be the main character but this doesn’t feel like her story. As awesome as it is seeing Hope be a badass and fight monsters, I want more development from her as a person.

- Kind of ties back into the last one, but let Hope have more Dark moments like the Death Spell incident. Moments that show that while she isn’t just another Klaus, she still shares some of his tendencies towards violence and lashing out. This could work really well if they decide to keep Landon out of the picture for a few episodes.

- Let Hope and Landon break up amicably (assuming Landon isn’t really dead which let’s be real he probably isn’t) so that, again, they can grow as people. Then, if you want, they can get back together. Or just stay broken up and be friends

-  A resolution to the Necromancer - he’s a fun character and while I think he’d be fun to have around for a bit, I don’t think he’s an anchoring villain for a season. Plus to me I kinda figured that they were gonna wrap up his storyline in the last 3 episodes that they didn’t get to film before the production shutdown so chances are we’re getting this anyway.

- Either bring back Ethan, Maya and Mac more prominently, or don’t bring them back at all. Don’t get me wrong, I like the town normies storyline when it comes up, but it doesn’t come up much. Apparently, they were supposed to be in the last 3 episodes more but who knows. With the show already feeling kinda crowded (because again, the format of the show now doesn’t really allow for a ton of characters since they aren’t significantly developing, especially when these characters are in a setting completely removed from the main action of the show’s narrative), either have the normies for more than just getting caught in a magical crossfire, or put them to the side and focus on who you have at the school.

- The TVDU has progressed past the need for Alaric. That’s all I’ll say.

- The show being a little more self aware at the ridiculousness of it all. Like yeah, it’s not completely without that, but the last thing we need is the show devolving into a Riverdale, where the first season was aware of the ridiculous nature of itself, and then it started to take itself way too seriously.

- MORE LGBTQ+ REP. The show has done fairly well thus far compared to other CW shows but there’s still so much than can be done. The show doesn’t need to have show-stopping coming out storylines or anything - it’s actually the opposite. We get the casual drop of Josie having dated Penelope in the first episode of the show which was great. So let’s have more simple stuff like that. More mentions at crushes and other past romances - for all characters - that just allow for other sexualities to be normalized and not some earth shattering thing. 

- This ties into the last one but I felt like it deserved its own bullet, but also what is V NEEDED is rep of trans, genderfluid and non-binary characters. Again, it doesn’t have to be a huge storyline, but it’d be nice to have some recurring characters who are not cis. The show is meant to be set in a near future, so I think it’d be nice to show a normalized view on differing gender expression and sexuality as sort of a hope that such a future will exist.

- Hope loving beignets, eating/wanting to eat them all the time, and getting powdered sugar all over her dark clothes from them. Chances are, if you’re from/have been to NOLA, you’ve tried beignets and loved them because they’re amazing. SO LET HOPE HAVE HER BEIGNETS DAMN IT.

- More Wolf Hope moments. Let her turn more and just run because it let’s her feel more connected to Hayley :’( also the Crescent birth mark if that was ever a thing for Hope... I can’t remember, I’ve seen different things about it, lmk (politely) if that was ever a thing that Hope had

- Hope painting and sketching. It’s one of the few connections she still has with Klaus, SO LET HER EXPRESS HERSELF DAMN IT. (Yes, any time I say SO in all caps I need to end the sentence with DAMN IT, it’s a Thing now)

- MIKAELSON FAMILY MENTIONS AND APPEARANCES. Granted this one is different because there are real life schedules and whatnot that need to align, but even just more mentions of Mikaelson family members and others like Vincent would be nice. Yeah we’ve had some in the past, but it would still be nice to get some more. Also at least a mention of Rebekah and Kol checking in on Hope (assuming the writers aren’t going to pull something dumb like ‘oh the memory spell doesn’t work long distance like that so they still don’t remember her’)

- Hope also talking more about Hayley, Elijah, and Klaus. Again, feeling connected to her mom every time she’s a wolf. Always and forever, like Elijah always said. Telling stories about her father that put him in a better light than just being “The Great Evil” of storybooks.

- Hope being open with her friends about her past and how TERRIBLE it was a lot of the time like, y’know, people trying to kill her before she was even BORN.

- I’ve said this before in a separate post (which I’ll link at some point so expect an edit to this post) but I’d love for something to happen and for Hope to leave the school and go to NOLA and stay with Freya, Keelin and Nik because she’s tired of having to be the savior and still not saving everyone. (Also in that post it says Alaric comes and gets her and brings her back to the Salvatore School but we’ve progressed past the need for him in the TVDU so instead it’ll be the twins)

- Hizzie moments because whether you like them as romantically or just as friends, they are a DUO and we deserve more iconic sarcasm as well as genuine moments of friendship and caring

- Lizzie being the absolute Queen of Comedy

- But more importantly, Lizzie being more open about her issues and taking steps to have better mental health.

- Lizzie and MG having more open conversations and letting a relationship develop naturally - yes there has been a lot of development since season 1 but I feel like they both have a bit of growth to go before they should enter a relationship, if that’s something that happens

- Lizzie being happily single for a bit and not going for a guy that’s going to try and turn her into a vamp and keep her in a prison world 

- MG and Kaleb getting proper storylines or at least more play than just being the Local Vampires who help depending on the situation. They deserve WAY more than that

- ALSO MG and Kaleb backstories. How did they die and how did they get vampire blood in their system to keep them from dying permanently?

- Josie dealing with what happened pre and post Dark Josie and facing that she has always had some darkness in her. Yeah the dark magic definitely didn’t help, but she was willing to perform a spell that she didn’t know on a human over a football game and ended up breaking his arm. Not to mention, she was setting Penelope on fire as early as the first episode. It seems like we’re getting this since Josie locked away her magic in the last episode, but still, I don’t want this to just be a one episode reflection and then move on like she didn’t cause a lot of harm.

- More Hosie crumbs

- More Jade. OK admittedly this is probably really due to the fact that Giorgia Whigham is a Big Crush for me, but also the show really did start integrating her in a bit more with the black and white episode, which makes me think they’re keeping her around at least for a little bit. And I think she and Josie dating at least for a little while would be good for both of them. Jade was a ripper for 10 years in the prison world, and Josie was just consumed by dark magic and is now coming back from that. I think they’re a good (probably short-term) pairing that will help each other grow, but eventually break up because they just aren’t it for each other. And I saw this elsewhere on here, but someone pointed out that Jade could do what Penelope tried to do, but in a healthier way. Yes, Penelope was trying to put Josie first and show her her power and importance, but there’s a way to do that without gaslighting her sister and being manipulative. Sorry, I did not mean for this one to be so long.

- More Specialty episodes. The black and white episode was really fun in my opinion, and the show doesn’t have to be like that all the time, but stuff like that keeps the show interesting, as long as it makes sense within the context of the episode and storyline.

- Josie wearing the necklace Hope gave her

- I haven’t mentioned Rafael much and that’s because, despite being a main character, he hasn’t really done much besides run away with Landon, and feel guilty about having a crush on Hope. He’s personally not a favorite character of mine, but I think if he got more of a storyline - likely revolving around the fact that he was dead and being used as a pawn, as well as the fact that he possibly (but probably didn’t) kill Landon - it’d help give more to like about him.

- Caroline having a better reason for being away from the school than just researching the Merge. Like, her daughters have been fighting monsters, Josie almost died at the end of season 1, they were trapped in a prison world, Josie succumbed to Dark Magic, THEY LITERALLY HAD A MERGE EVENT and she’s still gone??? That’s not the Caroline we know. If she’s going to be gone (because like I said before, it all depends on Candice’s availability and willingness to come back), at least come up with something different than researching something her daughters have already done by this point.

- Since Landon’s not dead, let him unlock his full Phoenix powers. It’d be cool.

- Let’s have one season where Landon doesn’t run away like we don’t all know that he’s gonna be back within like 2 episodes if that

- More Dorian. I actually really like his character, he’s kind of a breath of fresh air sometimes so I’d like more scenes with him when possible

- A conclusion to Malivore and intro of a new villain. I kinda covered this earlier, but at this point, unless Malivore is going to become a tangible entity to fight instead of some black goo, it’s not a very interesting story thread to keep around for the next however many seasons Legacies goes on for.

Whew.

Ok, that’s all I can think of, but feel free to reblog and add more if there’s other stuff you’d like to see!

First line game

Tagged by @rhyslahey !! Thank you for the tag, I genuinely love these things 🧡

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories! See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors! (I don't know if it's last 20 posted or last 20 WIPs so we're gonna compromise and do last 10 posted and last 7 WIPs I've been working on!)

Posted, starting with most recent:

1) It's just "for now" (The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker/Crash Watkins, 3.3k)

Tracy doesn't know what to do with herself.

2) my knight in a shining jeep (Teen Wolf, Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski, 48.4k)

Having the news of his dad coming for dinner sprung on him just a couple of hours before the actual dinner is not something that Scott enjoys that much.

3) You're staring again (Teen Wolf, Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski, 4.8k)

The bleachers are near empty, as they usually are during practices, save for the few people who actually come out to watch during their free periods or just decide to skip for the hell of it to support their winning team.

4) Something More (Teen Wolf, Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski, 4.3k (so far))

Usually, Melissa wouldn’t stoop to this level. 

5) 'Cause we always have each other (Julie and the Phantoms, Alex Mercer/Luke Patterson/Reggie Peters, 4.6k (so far))

“He looks miserable,” Alex mutters.

6) Have adventures, make memories... sneak out to dances? (Legacies, Landon Kirby/Lizzie Saltzman | Hope Mikaelson/Kaleb Hawkins | MG & Josie Saltzman, 25.8k)

The Salvatore Boarding School is perfect in Lizzie’s eyes.

7) I just wanna be somebody to you (Lucifer, Mazikeen/Lucifer Morningstar, 2.9k)

“He’s only been honest with me!”

8) It's (not) just polyester (Boy Meets World, Shawn Hunter/Cory Matthews, 6.2k)

"Thanks again for letting me stay here, Cor," Shawn says, hopping the last few stairs.

9) I'm scared to show just how I feel (Boy Meets World, Shawn Hunter/Cory Matthews, 4.4k)

Shawn is definitely panicking.

10) It's You And Me (Legacies, Landon Kirby & Rafael Waithe, 5.5k)

Landon hisses as his hand slips against the rough bark of the tree he's currently trying to climb.

I think this really gives away how quickly my interest in a show can change if I latch onto something else, but this is way more fandoms than I was expecting, it doesn't usually have this much variety 😭 my favourite line from these ones is probably from I just wanna be somebody to you because I usually try to avoid opening with dialogue because I read too many "writing tips" posts that said it wasn't a good opener, but I actually like opening with dialogue more now because it gets you right into the story!

And now WIPs, in order of most recently updated with some vague placeholder titles and curewnt wordcount:

1) Prayer for the Stupid & Human (The Vampire Diaries, Damon Salvatore/Luke Parker, 2.2k)

Damon vamps in front of Luke, stopping him in his tracks.

2) Clash of the European Boyfriends (The Vampire Diaries, Damon Salvatore/Enzo St. John | Stefan Salvatore/Klaus Mikaelson, 3k)

After one-hundred-and-seventy-seven years, Damon has decided that Stefan has finally lost his mind.

3) Soldier Buddies (The Vampire Diaries/The Originals, Damon Salvatore/Enzo St. John + possibly Marcel Gerard??, 7k)

Going back to war certainly wasn't in any of Damon's plans for the next few centuries.

4) Hunter Bros (Legacies/The Vampire Diaries, Hope Mikaelson & Jeremy Gilbert, 1.9k)

Hope stares at the house in front of her.

5) Prison World Trio (The Vampire Diaries, Damon Salvatore/Bonnie Bennett/Enzo St. John, 6.3k)

The wind is whistling around them as the other side collapses. 

6) Dancing with wolves (Teen Wolf, Derek Hale & Cora Hale | Cora Hale/Lydia Martin, 1.9k)

Why is it that staring at the clock makes time seem to go slower?

7) Guardian Enzo (The Vampire Diaries, Enzo St. John & Elena Gilbert | Damon Salvatore/Enzo St. John, 4.9k)

The people of Mystic Falls are fairly more cautious than Enzo would have expected.

By the looks of it, I tend to try and introduce whose point of view it's going to be in the very first line, and I try and just jump straight into it rather than build up, which is something I actually used to do way too much to the point where I felt like I was disinterested by the that I actually got to the part of the story that I wanted to write in the first place! So, this feels like progress of some sort! And my favourite WIP opening line is Clash of the European Boyfriends just because it's very in character and funny to me.

Tagging @pad-foots @alltid-og-for-evig and anyone who wants to do it!!

The Originals 30 Day Challenge, Done in 1 day.

I love all of these 30 day challenge pics/posts/quests but I never have the patience to do it over 30 whole days, so instead I do them in one sitting, one go. 

MY TVD 30 DAY CHALLENGE HERE

Feel free to comment your own opinions about The Vampire Diaries spin-off The Originals, whether it’s your favorite show within the TVDverse like myself or whether you just love it as much as I also love the other two shows TVD and Legacies, Legacies will have its own 30 day challenge soon enough too...

Feel free to answer these too, copy, paste it, like I have and do it for yourself...

1 - If you follow this post, or read any of my TO fanfiction it will come as no surprise to anyone that I’m in love with and very obssesed with Klaus Mikaelson, he will always be my king.

2 - Rebekah Mikaelson, she’s so badass yet has this softness that makes her so compelling at the same time, I worship this queen and often wonder what this show would have looked like if she remained a main star for all of its five season run.

3 - Making me choose between the love of my life Klaus, and the icon that is Rebekah is hard...so hard but I have to go with Rebekah on the grounds that when he hurts Rebekah in any way I’m always mad like no, not my Rebekah, whereas when its the other way around I’m normally like yeah he deserved that from her...Rebekah is the fictional bestfriend of my life and Klaus is the husband, and friends always come before men - side not this very answer will later be used on record when I find myself in an asylum one day lol

4 - I’d have to go with either Marcellus or Inadu, although Marcel is beyond irritating to me throughout most of his run I can’t argue his reasons for being annoying are somewhat justifiable especially after Davina’s death in season 3 :( so I’d say I hated Inadu the most, purely because the character in itself was so wasted, so stale, and a dud to be honest...I was hoping for more with the hollow arc but I’ll get to that later on no doubt.

5 - Season 1 Episode 16, Farewell to Storyville, Season 1 in general was one of the strongest debut seasons for any shows I’ve ever watched, if not the strongest! I loved Rebekah and Klaus’ bond most out of the siblings and although Klaus spends most of the episode trying to kill her and it involves Rebekah leaving as a main character...this has got to be the juiciest exploration of their relationship - also side note young Elijah should have left young Rebekah kill Mikael, just saying...

6 - I could put the entirety of Season 5 in here, minus all the epicness of all the Klaroline scenes and Hayley’s badass death...but to pick one episode out it would have to be the finale “When the saints go marching in” because it just felt like they had spent that season killing off characters who were least likely to appear in Legacies (which pissed me off), also I wanted Klaroline to be endgame and Julie Plec’s response to not doing that because of Steroline, a ship that always felt like Caroline was second place and that queen should be always be 1st. 

I did not like that Klaus and Elijah died, which reminded me visually of that Avengers scene, which made no sense as we have seen originals die before and not once did it go down like that!

And even if I could forgive them for that I was rather pissed we saw no after life, even a Elijah and Hayley dance in the afterlife would have been appreciated...

I’m also always a little bittersweet when folk from the pilot don’t show up in the last episode, would have loved to seen more of Davina in general over seasons 4 and 5.  (Rant over)

7 - Try not to pick a Klaroline scene...never mind, when Caroline first appears, pinning Klaus up against the wall and saying something along the lines of try picking on someone your own size, or the swoony moment in Mystic Falls where she tells him he was never the villain in his story, or again the swoony moment when their road tripping and trying to find Hope... but non Klaroline scenes which were epic, Davina going up against Klaus with the harvest power inside of her, Lucien going upgraded original and taking them all on, Dahlia’s entire arc, the finales of 1,2, 3, and 4 and last but definitely not least kid Hope’s entire arc, what a magnificent actress Summer Fontana is, a star in the making *

8 - “ We are the strongest creatures in the world, and yet we're damaged beyond repair. We lived without hope, but we will never die. We are the definition of cursed, always and forever.” said by Rebekah Mikaelson, all of the Mikaelson’s had epic quotes, this show, and it’s predecessor TVD have so many amazing quotes <3

9 - Klaus handing baby Hope over to Rebekah, trusting her above all others, and any scenes where Klaus, Hayley, Rebekah, Elijah and Kol have with baby Hope as well as kid hope - broody moments lol

10 - Josh’s death, I had feared his death every goddamn season especially knowing Julie Plec wanted him killed in the very first season :( however after being made a regular in the finale season I had hopes for him making it out alive and perhaps showing up in Legacies in a more prominent role as a teacher for the vamp kids or something...but no that woman just had to finish off her hit...nothing breaks me more than his death! Although, reuniting with Aiden in the afterlife gives me small comfort, Aiden’s was another’s death that was so sad!

11 - Kid Hope putting people in their place like Marcel, and even Davina (who I worship), I just loved this little badass kid going about like a little queen from the get go...Danielle Rose Russell had and still has very big shoes to fill IMO

12 - Freya and Elijah condemning Davina to the ancestors, or Elijah who was supposed to love Marcel like a son ripping out Marcel’s heart. A lot of season 4 Elijah annoyed me tbh, 50% of Hayley scenes ticked me off too and Marcel was a solid 90% throughout the entire run.

13 - Hmmm....Klaus meeting his real father then killing him in order to protect Hope as he just could not risk trusting his father :( that broke me, other shocking moments when Gia died, Hayley’s first and second death...

14 - Friendship as in friends but not family? friendship within family would be Rebekah and Klaus always, friendship outside of family bonds I would definitely say either Davina and Josh or Rebekah and Hayley.

15 - Klaroline, although I put myself out here considering they only kissed once in this show...I never shipped Haylijah but never hated it, I despised Camille and the Klamille ship and always will, I enjoyed Elijah and Gia but doubt it run its course well I think, I always thought Rebekah deserved more than Marcel and still do...so I’m going with Kolvina, even though Kol killed Davina, thanks to those damn ancestors, their romance was super sweet, I loved how Kol loved her and their marriage, though briefly seen, was everything! We should have got a flashback of their wedding god damn it! But I’ll settle for them being two of the few who got happy endings...and could appear in Legacies ;) fingers crossed!

16 - I loved Marcel singing How You Like Me Now, I wish Charles Michael Davis had a few more musical numbers within this show, he’s a really talented actor, singer, director...

17 - Joseph Morgan hands down, loved him from his first scene in TVD and loved his other work in Hex and Brave New World, to name a few...

18 - Claire Holt, she’s just wonderful as Rebekah and the actress herself, she seems like such a genuine sweetheart in real life and you can really see her love for the character of Rebekah too, I also liked her other work in A Violent Separation, 47 Meters Down and no I’ve never seen H20...yet

19 - The Originals hands down, although so far TVD is in second place, with Legacies in third place but with Legacies still going I have high hopes for that climbing...all are fabulous shows in their own rights <3

20 - Okay I wouldn’t be me if I did not answer this future episode question without a link to a fanfic season 6 of mines... Origins of Magic and my alternative season 5 Bad Blood

21 - Off the top of my head? Davina and Kol teaching at Salvatore Boarding School, giving Hope some family connections that she severely lacks in Legacies and how awesome would they be as teachers? I’d also like to see a cousin whether it be Freya and Keelin’s son Nik or Rebekah and Marcel adopt a child (creature) that also ends up in Legacies. Side note - may put this in my possible fanfic ideas board...

22 - I don’t think I could claim to be most like any one individual, I’d say I was definitely a little dorky like Josh but nowhere near as adorable, I have a lot of hurt inside of me like Davina and protect my friends as much as I can, I’ve definitely got a bit of paranoia like Klaus from being screwed over many times like him and also like them it was mostly by family members, I’m definitely as curious and of a quiz like nature as Camille, love a little too easy like Rebekah and get my hear broken too often like her too, can be a little bit twistedly playful like Kol although I’ve not killed half as many people ; I’d love to one day be as elegant as Elijah, or as brave as Hayley and who would not want to be a Tribrid like Hope?

23 - How is this any different to 4? Although I’ll just answer Inadu purely because of the waste of potential and how not one single time did I give a damn about her, although I despised that vampire bitch who killed Hayley!!!

24 - I definitely relate to Klaus, Rebekah, Josh and Davina the most which is why they are my favorites no doubt.

25 - Klaus Mikaelson, any day, any time, anywhere, unless of course him and Caroline make it work I love their love more than I love my love for Klaus so I’d be happy just watching them being happy as a stalker lurking in the bushes within the back garden of their marital home - side not another statement that could be put on record for my eventful visit to the asylum..

26 - The family bonds, I love how it’s not all about romances like it is in TVD and so far Legacies, but still has romances at the same time. I love the complicated bonds between Klaus and his siblings Rebekah, Elijah, and Kol (in that order) and I love the little homemade family of Marcel with Davina and Josh (also in that order) and Marcel’s complicated father/son relationship with Klaus.

I also love how we watch Hope from being in Hayley’s womb, to a baby, toddler, child and then teenager and the powers she shows even from as young as being a baby and stopping the car she was in with Cami (even if that did save Cami’s life for a little longer) sorry not sorry we all got to hate on somebody and I did compliment her in 22 sort of lol

27 - The fact that its finale season served more like a prequel to Legacies than a fitting ending to a show I had been invested in since before it even began airing, as most fans were, we have loved these characters since their inception in TVD and it did kind of feel like Julie kind of started the finale season with a hit list in mind killing off anyone she’d think would not cameo in Legacies at some stage which I guess is why there is so much ill will from TO fans for Legacies, which I did feel for a while.

I mean I still blame Hope for Klaus and Hayley’s deaths, also Elijah for Hayley’s death and Marcel for Josh’s but I do not blame the characters have as much as I blame Plec.

28 - Season 5 lol, Season 4 although at the time I did not want it to be its end, would have served as a better ending for TO and they could have still made Legacies work without any ill will of making TO’s finale season pitch Legacies.

29 - The Hollow turning out to be Henrik, or the original witch, or anything other than what is was, also the werewolf origins should’ve have been a bit more epic like the vampires origins were.

30 - I do love Joseph Morgan and Daniel Gillies in interviews, Daniel Gillies is one of the funniest actors behind the scenes and has great bromances with Joseph, Paul Wesley and many others within the TVD verse. I also love Claire Holt’s and Phoebe Tonkin’s friendship and how that’s been a thing since they starred in H20 together (which I want to watch purely because of those two)

Hello this is part 1 of my first Legacies Hosie fic!! it's very slowburn

The entire school was in chaos, had been since Alyssa trapped the Saltzmans in the prison world, but now with the full moon approaching Hope could finally save them. She’d been inconsolable all month, refusing to leave her spellbooks searching religiously for a way to save them. And she found just in time. It would take an insane amount of power, but power was always one of Hope’s specialties, plus she had an entire school full of witches backing her, together they could do it.

They had ten minutes till the full moon crested, the wolves were downstairs locked in the transition spaces ready to turn, the witches were outside preparing for the spell and the vampires were running around the school doing god knows what making an insane amount of noise. Hope felt like she was the only adult in the school these days. 

That was about to change however because Mayor Donavan and Sheriff Mac walk through the front doors with Ethan and Maya not far behind. She didn’t have time for this, the mayor wasn’t her biggest fan and she couldn’t deal with him right now, she had a spell to do and Saltzmans to save.

“Where’s Alaric, we need to speak to him.” the mayor’s eyes never met Hope’s once while he spoke to her. So she looked past him to Sherif Mac who was scanning the entire school, Maya clung to her brother like she was holding him up, and Ethan looked terrified. 

“Sorry he’s not here right now and we’re all kinda busy so it might be best if you left.” Hope tried to keep her words polite but the mayor had to be insane bringing townies here on a full moon, the screams would start any minute now and they definitely didn’t need to hear that. How could she explain to them that Dr. Saltzman and his daughters are trapped in a prison world with the twins insane relative and right now that was her priority not whatever politics they came to talk about. 

The mayor seemed to realize that Hope was his best option right now,” look Ethan here triggered his werewolf gene this month and we need your help.”  

“What?” Hope tried her best not to scream. If she was capable of getting a migraine she would have one right now. 

Before she had the chance to say anything else Raphael and a man Hope had never seen before burst through the doors nearly taking out Ethan a group of vampires that happened to be walking past. His eyes landed on Hope and light up,” Hey long time no see Mikaelson. We were kinda worried we weren’t going to make it before the crest of the moon, but it looks like we’re just in time.” 

“Raph I am so glad to see you,” Hope grabbed his arm and pulled,” This is Ethan a baby wolf, I need you to take him to the cellar with you and talk him through it.” with that she turned to Ethan, trying her best to be caring she placed a hand on his arm and lowered her voice,” Ethan I wish I could be there to help you with this but I can’t so all I can say is that this is gonna hurt like hell but don’t fight it that will only make it worse.” his eyes went wide and he paled slightly. Hope didn’t have time to wonder what exactly happened when he triggered his curse but she made a note to ask him about it later. 

Raphael was already leading Ethan down the hall when Maya interjected,” Wait I want to go with him, he shouldn’t be alone.” 

Mayor Donavan spoke up before Hope could,” Absolutely not!” he screamed positioning himself between the two siblings. She knew that the two were close but the look in Maya’s eyes when he did that was one that a Mikaelson could relate with.

 Sheriff Mac was oddly quiet through the whole thing maybe she’s still in shock about the whole supernatural community, so Hope had to handle this herself,    ” He won’t be alone Maya, there are dozens of wolves down there all of whom have been through exactly what Ethan is going through right now. He’ll be ok.” 

Hope wished she could do something to ease the worries the family was going through but MG appeared behind her using his vamp speed to enter the room unnoticed. 

“Witches are ready with the spell Hope,” he announced before he read the room and as soon as he did he eyes went wide and he was gone again hopefully headed toward the woods where the witches were waiting with the spell.

“What spell?” the Mayor growled. It was no shock to anyone that he hated supernaturals and to him, Hope was the worst of the worst if he found out Dr. Saltzman wasn’t here who knew what would happen to the school. It was Hope’s place to protect it and all its students. That’s why she turned away from him and walked out the front door to the woods with her head held high. She knew he would follow her but at least she was getting him away from the school, the witches in the woods could defend themselves.

The moon was high overhead as they made their way swiftly through the woods. She was doing her best to block out the Mayor’s voice behind her throwing accusations, but it was even harder to ignore Maya’s eyes on her as moved. Hope was used to people not trusting her it came with her name, but what she hated was being the center of attention. It’s been happening more and more now that she’s taken over the role of school hero but that didn’t mean she was getting used to it.

 They entered the clearing and everyone fell quiet. Twenty-five witches stood in a circle of salt and flame. Kaleb, MG and, Landon stood to the side with Alyssa Chang who was tied to a tree, Hope had taken extra care to make sure she couldn’t do magic and interrupt the spell. All eyes were on them and she could practically feel the mayor shrink beneath them. 

They stopped moving as Hope continued forward. The circle parted for her and Hope linked hands with them. She started the spell, muttering under her breath and the others followed suit. She’d given them the incantation two days ago to memorize while they waited for the full moon. The magic flowed between them, she forgot what it was like to have a coven sometimes, not that she was ever truly accepted with the french quarter witches but she’d done her fair share of magic with her family and she hated to admit how much she missed it. This school was a family always had been even if Hope tried to avoid it, this is what families did, they fought for each other and there was nothing that would stop her from getting the Saltzmans back.

There was a flash of light. Just like when they disappeared from the cry pile in the twin’s room a month ago. Hope squinted against it but still could see nothing. And then they were there, the twins were holding each other up while Dr. Saltzman stood in front of them with his crossbow aimed at a fourth figure. 

Hope wanted to cry with relief, seeing her friends alive and safe, but she couldn’t just yet. They’d gotten one more Gemini witch then they’d bargained. Hope knew the stories, he murdered his family tried to kill the twins before they were born. Hope didn’t know what his master plan was but she was sure he had one and Hope was going to stop him before he had the chance to put it in action.

questions i have for legacies:

first an foremost why you gotta do caroline dirty like that?

do the twins know the very complex and extended history of caroline and alaric? like... the whole ‘hey he was forced to go psycho vamp killer and killed my dad AND tortured / nearly killed me but then like 7 years later we were engaged’ thing or????? who’s gonna tell them??? what’s THAT conversation going to be like??

do lizzie / josie / alaric / caroline (letmelive) live at the school / old boarding house or do they have a separate house that they live in? 

speaking of that there’s no way that the boarding house ( as it stood in tvd, from what i’ve seen on legacies they’ve definitely expanded it but HOW MUCH ) is big enough to sustain THAT many students including classrooms, living quarters, grounds 

since when the fuck is there an old mill and why wasn’t it ever mentioned in tvd why couldn’t they have used like the old lockwood property or something idk why this bugs me so much it just  d o e s 

where are the parents of the kids at the school, do their parents know what they are? are they cool with it? do they go home for breaks like in harry potter? or are they all orphans and outcasts that were tossed out for being supernatural creatures??? just how many stray kids has caroline adopted i need to know.

do people know about stefan????? 

why would anyone think that feeding the vampires a steady died of ONLY animal blood would be enough to sustain them when caroline elizabeth forbes who is supposed to be co-running this school knows FIRST HAND that living only on animal blood makes it easier for you to become a ripper?!?!! 

where were all these creatures / powerful beings on the tvd / to universe??? wouldn’t someone --- say the mikaelsons who had been around for thousands of years --- KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE THIS POWERFUL?! 

generally just wHERE ARE THESE KIDS’ PARENTS?! 

like i just need to know it would make my life so much easier to  k n o w
