is your comfort character also a sad pretty boy with trauma and questionable morals or are you normal
“Well, I think there are no villains in this world. There are just misunderstood heroes.”
— Tom Hiddleston
Never forget that Hayley Marshall unsired and got killed an entire pack of hybrids for absolutely no reason.
It’s still insane how that side of tvdu fandom vilifies Tyler for choosing to get revenge on the man that killed his mother and friends instead of staying with Caroline, all because they needed an excuse to make Klaus look like the better choice for Care. Which is insane because he has physically harmed Caroline and almost killed her, yet somehow him doing that isn’t terrible as Tyler growling at Caroline bc she slept with the man who tortured him and again, has killed his mother…
“Tyler slut shamed her”… when all he stated was that she slept with Klaus. Even in show, they have Stefan punching him and acting as if he said something egregious [Them completely forgetting all the times they have Caroline call other female characters sluts or insinuate it, but ofc the writers and fandom have selective memory when it comes to certain characters] when Tyler had the right to be upset over his girlfriend sleeping with the man who destroyed his life.
This is the same side that calls Bonnie a terrible friend because she didn’t immediately warm up to Caroline being a vampire. Even though Caroline had literally killed an innocent person—Even though Bonnie made her a daylight ring not too long after. But this is the TVD fandom we’re talking about, so of course black and poc character’s feelings are not an importance to them. It’s interesting how they are so quick to infantilize and baby white characters, yet the black/poc chars are supposed to easily move on from their trauma, deal with it, and prioritize their white counterparts over themselves.
Caroline : Hehehehe
Caroline : I always knew you were obsessed with me but damm, you went all highschool crush on me
I had completely forgotten this and. seeing him burn his multiple pages full of sketches of Caroline's face as if he's trying to ~exorcise her~ out of his system is SO FREAKING HILARIOUS when we know what we know LMAO.
like. my man. you're going to die still in love with her. she is going to be your last love. this emo moment is pitiful xDD
Okay Kol, Darling I know you are mad but please don't hurt Caroline, please. Also you make your siblings pay, they deserve it
What’s this? A snippet of something I started a long long time ago and never followed through but damn do I wish I had because even I - a super modest hates my work most of the time writer - am impressed? Okay, you twisted my arm.
“It’s incredibly lonely on the other side. While you all went on living your lives with one less brother to worry about, I was stuck behind an invisible barrier watching.” He laughed. “I mean, the least you could have done was entertain me!”
“Tell us how you came back, Kol,” Klaus urged again.
“Nik’s hostile take over of New Orleans lasted all of two minutes. And Rebekah, repeating history, falling right back under Marcel’s spell? What a snooze. But then, Elijah’s love life was even more wretched to watch, wallowing over his lost doppleganger. Did you know she’s human now? Your dear Elena shoved the cure right down her throat. But by all means, continue glorifying my murderer!” He ran his index finger across his lip, and glanced to Klaus with an afterthought. “By the way, congratulations on fatherhood. No doubt you’ll follow right in Mikael’s footsteps.”
“Kol!” Rebekah scolded as he crossed a line.
“Oh come on, darling. Don’t pretend it hasn’t crossed your mind. Nik isn’t nurturing enough to father a child. Besides. What will Caroline think?” He smiled slowly as Klaus’ eyes went cold. “Do you know she shed a tear for you the night you left Mystic Falls?”
“Why are you doing this, Kol? We’ve done nothing wrong!” she cried.
“Exactly. You did nothing! You never gave my passing a second thought. Nik’s the only one who gave a damn. For about a day and a half, until Caroline so politely disposed of my body. Remind me to thank her for her kindness when I see her.”
Klaus stepped forward, glowering. “If you so much as blink in her direction - “
“Always with the threats. You think I’m afraid to die again? On the contrary, the other side wasn’t quite so bad. Lonely. But at least it gave me plenty of time to exact my revenge.”
“You’re going to get back at us for moving on with our lives instead of grieving forever?” Rebekah was appalled.
“What grief? You went on to be girlfriends with my murderer. Elijah continuously keeps her up on a pedestal - ”
“Then take it out on her!”
“Oh, I plan to. But what was that little oath you three made amongst yourselves centuries ago?” He paused, his eyes glinting with bitterness. “Family above all.” He shook his head in disapproval. “Some family. Not once did any of you even consider the idea of bringing me back. I had to be resurrected by a witch I can’t stand and can’t kill!”
“We get it,” Elijah conceded. “You’re angry.”
“I am angry. You have yet to feel my vengeance. Everything you love, everything you’ve all worked so hard for will crash and burn. And I’ll be all too happy to sit back and watch you beg for mercy as you learn how it feels to be alone, with nothing and no one who cares.”
“Enough,” Klaus demanded. “Honestly, Kol. Dramatics aren’t really your style. Just let it go.”
He raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You don’t believe me? Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” He was gone in a whoosh and Rebekah nearly gasped, stepping forward, eyes wide. “Where did he go?”
You ok stef???
KLAUS MIKAELSON AND STEFAN SALVATORE. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES SEASON 2 EPISODE 22
This might be a good explanation for why Klaus so pointlessly sacrificed both Elijah and himself.
I think another thing that plays into it is Klaus's promise to Hayley that he would do ANYTHING to save their daughter, and now that there's a chance for him to fulfill it, he takes it. They could have killed Hollow through so many other ways, but no, this is the one Klaus settled on cause it was his only way out of his own misery and to see through his vow to avenge Hayley.
( Reminds me of how in Castlevania we find out that Dracula's whole destroy the world campaign is just a grandscale suicide act after the killing of his beloved wife.)
But of course it goes without saying that if it actually came to sacrificing himself for Hope he would gladly do it, especially if it's a way to keep both his daughter and the mother of his child safe.
All in all, though, as I have said so many times before to him, Hope and Hayley are a static pair. Both of them or not at all, it's non-negotiable to him. (An example is when he exiles Hayley and binds her in her wolf form, we see mainly Freya or even Elijah care for Hope, and while Klaus is present, he isn't as involved)
What's for sure is that he loves Hope and Hayley the most and to extreme lengths, which are at times overwhelming.
Klaus was stuck in a torturous loop of self loathing and self destruction
He had lost everything he had, was completely estranged from the only people he actually felt safe with, people that made him feel less lonely (his biggest fear)
Hayley's death sent him over the edge and he felt responsible for what happened, he had admitted to staying away from her for the simple fact he felt like he was failing her and hope, and fear he'll only hurt them more and he only realized staying away did more harm than good far too late
Had it been about hope he would've either 1) not have killed Elijah because that was pointless, he left hope an orphan and Elijah was the only perfect person to look after her and Klaus was more than okay with killing him proving he no longer really meant shit to him after his indirect role in killing Hayley (he was ready to die for him every other day in the previous seasons)
And 2) since he gave no fucks about Elijah he could've let him die alone and stay with his daughter who he admitted clearly needed him
Instead he hit two birds with one stone, he gave Elijah what he thought he deserved and he died to simply get out of the responsibility of actually caring for his daughter, he knew he had nothing to offer her especially without Hayley there to help him so he thought the only thing he might give her is his death
Till his very last breath he was running away from facing his fear of turning into Mikael and failing as a father
And Hayley who was the biggest part of parenthood to him was lost so he had ultimately nothing to stay for
You do not need to remind me how precious my cargo is. (Hayley and Hope)
I miss her too, more than you know.
I wish for Hope to grow up to be as strong and beautiful a woman as her mother.
"I was looking for your mother?" "Mom's missing." "I am on my way."
I am going out of my mind here, look at what they have done to Hayley.
My brother is dead to me. He let Hayley die.
Saying I love you without saying I love you:
I do trust you, more than you know.
I'm beginning to think we're a lot alike, you and I.
I've got you, love. I've got you.
I knew you were tough, I knew you were cunning, but I never knew you were a queen.
That's no way to treat a lady.
"You said you saw my father. What did he say to you?" Nothing true.
I want to believe in you.
Klaus it's too dangerous, let me come with you.
Believe it or not, Hayley, I would actually like you to be here.
It's not your fault, Klaus. I know that you fought for us.
I'm talking about Hayley. For some reason she cares about you. Enough to risk her own life. Do right by her.
"You know, when I left last, I thought for sure you'd hate Klaus forever." Oh, I will, but even when you hate him... you still love him.
You're all right, love. You're all right.
Klaus isn't doing it out of the kindness of his heart. He is doing it for you.
We fight for each other.
We keep going, together.
Being kind doesn't make you weak, Klaus.
I've given you a thousand reasons to abandon me, but you haven't...yet. Thank you.
I'm not giving up on you, Klaus.
I don't know what to do. And I really wish that you were here to tell me.
"You said you would protect me." and I will.
You will always have a home here.
I saw how twisted it really is. And maybe I can relate.
What could I possibly say to ease her pain?
You're Hayley, Klaus' wife.
Hayley's off limits.
She is exquisite.
See. There's your queen. Powerful, fearless... and unlike me, merciful. These people need to show you more respect.
My mother is wretched. She will target you in order to thwart me. And I can't very well save Elijah if I'm busy saving you. Can I?
I can't save her if they don't fear me.
What makes Klayley different from other series ships for you?
I am assuming you mean other ships in the orignals by that.
It's the really simple case that's not simple at all. It's the underlying passion between them that just won't go away no matter who they take as a lover. The burning anger, loathing, care, loyalty, and the inexplicably undying connection that keeps them tethered to each other always and forever, come hell or highwater.
Mikael almost killed me and the baby, but i can't help but be more worried about how Klaus suffered all these years, I need to comfort him.
The witches are murdering me and the baby. Forget Elijah , I need Klaus here.
The witches stole baby hope? Not important right now, Hayley's dead, and I need a moment or several to take it all in.
I don't really love Jackson, but Klaus needs me to marry him, so I will.
I have to deal with my newly risen from dead mother and father, but whether Hayley's new husband is treating her right or not is more important.
Hayley tried to run from me, and I am extremely furious, but I can't bear to kill her or physically hurt her.
I will hate Klaus forever, but I can't really hate him at all.
My siblings are in trouble and may need my immediate help, but the road trip with Hayley is the best fun I have had in centuries, and I love it too much to stop now.
I am the strongest and the proudest being on earth. I kneel to no one, especially not to scum like Lucien, but he has Hayley, and I would never let her die. She means too much to me. I have to kneel to save her, no problem, I will do it a thousand times if it's to save her.
I love my Pack a lot, but the Mikaelsons are dying, Klaus is dying, so my pack can go to hell. I will save him and the Mikaelsons even if I die .
I have to let go of my dignity as a wolf and kill, lie, massacre all to save Klaus and Mikaelson family. And I used to have a problem with that, but it's for Klaus, I can't watch him suffer, so i will do it gladly.
Klaus is going around the world, massacring everything in sight and trying to cut contact, but I will never give up on him.
Being in New Orleans near hope will bring forth Apocalyspe that might kill hope, but Hayley's missing, so all else be damned.
I am being killed, and Klaus is being attacked by Elijah. He's hurt, Hope's hurt, so I am going to kill Greta and sacrifice myself for them because Klaus and Hope are my family Elijah be damned.
My daughter is dying and meets me in the afterlife, but the second I hear Klaus's voice, I know all will be alright.
My brother, my companion, my only confidant who I would go insane without is dead to me for good because he killed Hayley, and there's no greater offense than that.
I am in hell. My heart feels empty. Hayley is dead. I can sacrifice Elijah to save hope and kill the hollow, but I vowed to Hayley that I would do anything to save our daughter so I will sacrifice myself. [Also because I can't live without my little wolf]
So yeah, it's you know, soul shattering stuff like this that keeps me hooked to Klayley. Nothing huge. This and all the other essays I wrote should be plenty enough evidence as to why. (Sorry for the late)
And here's the thing anyone who watched the Orignals and isn't blind should be shipping them intensely, too.
Would you ship Klayley if Klaus Mikselson was not played by Joseph Morgan (the same goes for Phoebe) or if Joseph/Phoebe played a different character?
It's hard to imagine other actors playing these roles given the fact that Joseph and Phoebe not only did justice to the characters but also elevated them a step beyond but frankly it has less to do with the actors and more to do with the characters Klaus and Hayley, their unbreakable connection and undying chemistry. As long as the actors do justice to that, I will ship them readily. Because Klayley is bold and Klayley is subtle all at the same time. Bold in their hate, anger, disagreements, even displays of care and loyalty, but subtle in their love. It was too late by the time both parties came to the realization. People say its Love too early, love too late situation but I personally believe it's love too much, so much so to let go of the other kind of situation, except that they can't. I would say it was an addiction, but those go away one way or the other. And as long as the actors bring that to life and portray all the layers of Klayley, I will be very satisfied and very happy. That's not to say Joseph Morgan and Phoebe Tonkin did an absolutely phenomenal job.
If The Originals was a more normal show instead of a show about supernatural beings like vampires, would Hayley and Klaus have a chance to be a couple?
Supernatural status plays no other role in Klayley than just adding on to the parallels between them. After all, love's all about emotion, and Klaus and Hayley evoke every possible emotion out of each other. Love, Hate, Rage, Joy, Care, Envy. It's like a language only they are privy to. A game, a dance, a battle, a romance of solely two souls with none other. So yes, Klaus and Hayley, regardless of the nature of their species, are each other's eternal soulmates. Always have been forever will be. Together or not at all. However, fleeting may be the time they are together, the whirlpool of emotions they elicit will always culminate in absolute love. It's their very own,
" I love every part of you, known and unknown, and I love you in every universe, always and forever. "
Years ago I was a toxic Klaroline fan. I hated Klayley and from their fans, even though I never watched The Originals. But things are not the same now. I started to enjoy seeing the edits with Klaus and Hayley together. I used to be so busy hating them that I didn't realize how much chemistry they had. And now I keep uploading every Klayley photo I see to my gallery as if someone else has taken control of my body. Thanks to your blog, I decided to watch The Originals this time starting from the first season.
No compliment, and I mean none compares to the sheer joy I just experienced reading this. I am very glad to know you found it in yourself to watch the Orignals due to a few of my posts . I have nothing against other Klaus ships, but I do loathe it when they try to downgrade and demean any meaningful connections Klaus has had with anyone else. And no one with a working pair of eyes will miss the sheer love Klaus and Hayley have for each other. I am sure you will enjoy the Orignals. Thank you for saying this, made my day really! Also, I hope you post about your change of mindset and your favorite Klayley scenes moments and quotes. Maybe you will manage to turn the opinions of many others too. [We will get even better Klayley fics then].
In which scenes do you think they should have given Klaus and Hayley a kissing scene?
Let's say we disregard the entirety of season 1, let the whole Elijah thing blow over.
Firstly, in season 2, when Klaus is consoling her after explaining the realities of being a hybrid, in the real moments are vibrant scene or even when he takes her out to kill witches, they could have given us a forehead touch in the for the former and a kiss for the latter part.[Both consumed by bloodlust mostly Hayley as Klaus can control it, she accidentally(definitely intentionally while acting on her true desires) kisses Klaus and he is so enamored he can't help but reciprocate.
I trust you, more than you know scene should have definitely evolved into a kiss. Klaus can't help the jealousy and the feeling of fear that arises at the thought of her marrying Jackson (yes, yes, he is also worried about Hope's existence being revealed, but there's obviously more) and after hearing Hayley's words he wants to convey to her that he does trust her and care for her so yeah a kiss there for sure.
In season 3, Hayley turns back and is fighting Klaus but breaks down after seeing Hope and then hugs her? I think that scene should have also had Klaus hugging them both, maybe to symbolise his apology or other but not a kiss, but at least a hug.
After he saves her from Lucien, we really need a scene where he hugs her, and then she kisses him because she needs to feel that he is real and they are both alright. Klaus kisses her back equally fervently to assure her that she is safe as she is both afraid for Klaus's life and her own so he can feel her fear and relief now that Lucien's dead. That should have definitely been added. (So many missed opportunities for the building up to probably the most compatible and perfect couple you would think they didn't do it just to not brutally destroy the previous Klaus or Hayley ships. Oh shit that's exactly why)
When they are alone in the wood clearing, and he says, "I have given you a thousand reasons to abandon me, but you haven't yet, thank you?" A kiss would have gone really well with that.
Maybe a scene where Hayley shows off her karaoke skills, and Klaus is so amazed he kisses her? That would have been perfect.
When he goes to Marcel to sacrifice himself for Hope, Hayley and his family, a parting kiss
When Klaus, Hayley and Hope unite and Klaus and Hayley see each other's struggles they can't help but kiss because Hayley has missed Klaus's presence, his words, his protection and Klaus has missed his little wolf and littlest wolf dearly, moreover Klaus can't help but marvel at her strength each time for whenever he thinks this might just break my little wolf she perseveres through it and he has been wanting to kiss her since they last parted and as she was one of the few who broke him out the want only doubled.
A lots of kisses during that time cause two people don't go to such lengths for each other if they don't love one another like crazy.
When he has to leave with the hollow's essence, a sorrowful but desperate kiss. Yet again, parting ways and this just might be permanent.
I like to think Hayley gave him individual visits to check on him when Hope was grown enough and was in school and they kissed and everything.
Lastly when Klaus saves her from Greta, the Hollow's defeated and its all good for the rest of them, after Hope's taken back, passionate kissing and make out scene that results into another miracle baby is exactly what we deserved. [This is what I believe would have actually happened if the writers weren't bloody fools and also so I don't wallow in misery at the unfairness of it all for both of them]
do you have any klayley fic recommendations?
Not fic recommendations so much as fic writers actually:
Naturelover1997
Royal_Hybrids_KH
Lolabearwrites
These are the authors whose fics I have primarily read and liked.
And if you haven't read any yet please do as they have lots of stories with variety of plots. (One shots and short stories)
Most if not all of their fics are phenomenal, so check those out, you won't be disappointed.
what are your favorite klayley parallels?
That's such a hard question. I love them all since they emphasize the growth of this extremely intimate and unbreakable bind between Klaus and Hayley than once solidified has never wavered. It's like a prophecy that says:
Yes, Klaus Mikaelson the Great Evil is the smartest, scariest, strongest creature on the face of earth with millenia worth of paranoia, trust issues, anger and grief and none can put a name to what atrocity he would commit next but trust him to do everything under the sun and otherwise to keep Hayley safe. Come hell or highwater. Trust him to have this firm belief that his confidant, his best friend, the woman he loves the most would never turn her back on him, nor lose faith in him.
But since you asked, here's a few I absolutely love:
More than you know (It’s practically a love confession when said with I trust you and I miss you)
Hayley consistently believing in Klaus and not giving up on him
Klaus repeatedly emphasising that all the good in hope came from Hayley(merciful unlike me)
Both of them wanting the other dead and yet going to every length imaginable to protect each other
Queen's don't run parallel (It shows how deeply Klaus impacts her)
These are only the first ones that come to mind, I love them all just as well. Thanks for asking, it's a lovely question.
If there was a love triangle between Hayley/Klaus/Caroline in The Vampire Diaries, who do you think Klaus would prefer?
Let's consider this scenario for after he sleeps with her. I am certain Klaus would choose her, it would take time but he would definitely choose her not because she is pregnant with his child but because eerily enough she accepts him and understands him without judgement, is his mirror in fact and it's not just a one sided thing, they both complete each other.
Caroline "Klaus is root of all evil until I need something" Forbes would manage to string him along only so long. If he wasn't so intent on getting back at Tyler and so caught up in the thrill of playing hard to get he wouldn’t look at her twice. Caroline has on multiple occasions betrayed his trust, used his affections for her own gain and demeaned and disrespected him. Let's be real it would take Klaus two months tops, my bet is one really to get bored of Caroline, (when I say bored I mean irritated, annoyed, disappointed at Caroline).
Yes Klaus would initially be furious he lost precious hybrids due to Hayley's schemes but he would come to admire it instead.
Her ambitions to do everything under the sun and otherwise for the sake of mere information on her family(she was born to be a Mikaelson), her exceptional cunning, wit and survival instincts all stemming from roots of abandonment leaving her to face the world alone quite like his very own and her strength and perseverance despite it? It would awe and mesmerize him, I would say he would be falling for her so fast and so hard given their compatibility and chemistry.
Plus Hayley has what it takes to stand on equal grounds with Klaus Mikaelson and she would also get along swimmingly with his family (and if he have any evidence to go off of from The Orignals she would even unite them like never before). Caroline would be nothing short of a frivolous and insignificant distraction in the grand scheme of things between Klaus and Hayley.
hey, there's a story called "FAIRPLAY" in this one-part book of klayley stories. the ending of this story was a disappointment for me. i wanted klaus to regret what he did over time, to miss hayley and fight to win her back. can you please read this story and write a sequel in a different way? https://www.wattpad.com/619262551-klayley-one-shots-short-stories-fairplay
Klaus
She was gone. All traces of Hayley Marshall, his little wolf, were wiped out from New Orleans. He shook his head at the thought. She was no longer his anymore, then why did her absence gnaw at him, a strange emptiness nothing could fill. It was as if she was never there except for the scathing looks the wolves directed at him behind his back which he knew were well deserved on his part, the endless bickerings of his siblings which have worsened over time with none to mediate in between and a dull everpresent ache in his chest further served as a constant reminder which only intensified the more he though of her. You would think with her gone there wouldn’t be much to think about, but bloody hell, every little thing promoted him to think of her. She was nowhere and she was everywhere , it was maddening. Even his room smelt of her. No matter how much perfume of her own Camilie tried to smear against the sheets or fill up the room with her things. The room still smelt of his little wolf so much he could barely breathe. Not just his room but the whole damned compound. It's as if the mansion itself was also holding onto Hayley with everything. He wouldn’t be surprised. Initially, Hayley had hated the Abattior, but over time, it grew on her so much so that she , Rebekah and Kol had gone on a renovation spree with Elijah contributing useful inputs. He? He had merely watched in absolute enjoyment as Hayley conquered the Abattior for her own, interfering only when it was asked of him.
"Klaus?" The soft timbre of Camilie's voice dragged him back to the present; one of their usual dinners Camille arranged at her house to talk about things that bothered him. He understood Camilie's efforts to fill the void Hayley had left behind but that was an impossible task. "Just marveling at human stupidity. " He remarked in regard to a client she was telling him about which for the life of him he couldn’t focus on. Maybe he didn't like such talks after all. You listened to Hayley talk of her day. You even talked about your own with her. His traitorous mind reminded him but that was a different matter. It was nigh impossible not to listen to the Hayley's regal, firm and commanding voice that had a certain lilt to it that allured all who heard it. That and their conversations were so spontaneous from Faction politics to wolf stuff to his own adventures to vampire history, the way he had eliminated his enemies in the past and how he would eliminate them currently, an outing in which she happily tagged along.
Even their dinners were either private or spent with the whole family, mostly the latter given how much Hayley and he himself enjoyed it. He had tried that with Camilie, but the Mikaelsons had always been a tightly knit family, and Hayley was adored by all without exception. So his family was neither subtle nor gentle in their hostility against Camilie. Even Marcel seemed unwilling to have her presence at the family dinner. Rebekah never the one to be fond of sweet Cami as she put it had nearly killed Camillie on learning what had transpired had he not intervened. Even he was feeling the unwelcome looks of his own family, and dining in his room was out of question. He hated food crumbs littering his space. The only exception was Hayley whenever she felt like stuffing her face with ice cream late at night. He had tried to get her to stop but she had given him a look that said either we both stay or I go and she never let ice cream fall and even if it did he could just lick it off her skin. Yes, he was going mad with missing her. His family had given him enough shit as is for it as if he didn't know how badly he had botched things. He remembered how it had started when he was on one of his trips to the Bayou and had overheard a Pack elder talking to Hayley, "You need a true wolf with you, not one who never shifts and would never give you heirs. For the prosperity of the pack, the Labonair line must be continued, so I suggest you find another to mate with just for the sake of heir."
He had waited, and nothing came. Not the vehement denial he was expecting to hear from her, not a single word. Like she was considering that abhorrent prospect. He had left so quickly, and the coming days had worsened his paranoia given her time at the Bayou increased day by day. He had become so miserable that Camilie had said it was etched on his face, so he had taken the blond bartender therapist on her offer to talk. He had drank so much that night till he was absolutely hammered. And he couldn’t quite remember what happened after or how he could have done it, but he slept with Camilie. He was so disgusted that he kept his distance from her but only humored her talks because he knew he needed the therapy sessions lest he somehow took it out on Hayley, and that was unacceptable. He had also kept it a secret for once it was out, his family would murder Camilie, or perhaps Hayley would do it herself. He still hadn't found the wolf acquaintance of hers, but he would soon. He was going to come clean at the end of the ball, but it all boiled over by then, and she chose to oust him and Camilie by funking that bastard Sergio. He had never seen so much red marring his vision. The fucker was a dead man for all his lifetimes had Hayley not gone as far as to kill Camilie to protect him and then she had left, without a word. Fled, away from him. His raw instinct exhorted him to chase her to ends of earth and darg her back but his family had vehemently opposed him and Elijah had talked him down emphasising on Hayley needing time and some space. His second instinct was to hunt down the bastard Sergio, chop him into pieces, and display his head as a decoration on the mantle piece, the only thing stopping him was that he didn't wish to hurt Hayley anymore than he already had though the fact that she felt something for that fucker or any other made him want to burn down the world. But if Hayley needed time, he would give it to her, for they both had eternity at their disposal. And he could always kill the bastards who had dared to look her way later. And anyways his vampires were tailing Hayley every now and then to ensure her safety. Whatever the current state between them, he would never leave his little wolf at the mercy of his enemies. While she was far from defenseless, he needed this peace of mind.
And his sources informed him she would be returning to New Orleans soon and Klaus had never heard sweeter words than these before. Now he would reclaim his little wolf, his Queen even if he had to grovel for all eternity.
What had confused Klaus, however, was the fact that Hayley only slept with the bastard Sergio to get back at him and Camilie. However, what the hell happened to the proposal of the pack elder? After Hayley left, he had barged into the Bayou and coerced her beta Zelina into answering. He had nearly killed the woman for assuming the role of alpha as anyone other than his little wolf as the alpha was a preposterous thought. Since Hayley herself had appointed the woman in her absence, he would let it slide this once. With further coercion she divulged the fact that Hayley had not said anything to the elder at the moment because most of the pack was present to hear his proposal however later on she had almost slaughtered the elder in person for even insinuating such a suggestion. She had spent days after trying to make more developments in the pack system and had written countless rules the next alpha should follow. She had even ensured necessary facilities and amenities that would help the back prosper even in her absence so she wouldn't have to give Klaus up. It had taken every single shred of control to not go looking for Hayley for all this time, but now that she was finally returning, he couldn’t bloody wait.
Camillie
Camilie had noticed how distracted he was and tried to glue his attention to her but Klaus ended the dinner quickly and left. She had slipped in a potion she had received as a favor from the witches to get Klaus to sleep with her but no matter what she did , he always looked set on Hayley alone. She knew she would have to atone for what she did to her friends for the rest of her life and she would.She wanted someone like Klaus for herself but it would never be and she had made peace with that.
Klaus
He couldn’t stand the room in Abattior given how much it suffocated him and with his wayward thoughts sleep seemed unlikely so he settled for staring at the countless paintings of his little wolf filling his art studio for it was the only way he could placate the need to not go find her.
Hayley
The air of New Orleans made her too nostalgic. She wasn’t sure how she managed to stay away for so long. She knew Klaus's vampires were tailing her, and while she loathed it initially, she couldn’t help but like the gesture of him watching over her. After her anger had calmed down the violent need to go see, Klaus overtook her. She missed him so much. Were she not busy with observing and visiting other wolf packs and exterminating any threats to the Crescents, she would have gone mad. Bekah had called her to tell her Nik messed up once cause he was too drunk and that the bitch Cami must have slipped him something and she should return, Hayley had told her that even before that Klaus had become retracted, closed off. He stopped his surprise visits to Bayou or stopped being home altogether. Their spontaneous conversations became few and far in between in the days that followed, and she loathed it so much. The fact that he slept with Cami was the last nail in the coffin. Sergio, being the loyal friend that he is, had stuck with her all this time. It was after all his idea to take a trip back cause he couldn’t bear to see her unravel like that. "You need closure,Hayley. " And here she was. "Don’t zone out now. There's a procession here to welcome you," whispered Sergio from behind her. She snapped her attention back to present, and indeed, most of her pack and the entirety of the Mikaelson family save for Klaus were here to greet her. The first family she ever truly had. Tears welled up, but she stifled them like she stifled the pang of pain at Klaus's absence. She vamped to them and hugged Bekah first, who almost crushed her into a hug, not intent on letting go. Di(Davina), Freya, and Keelin joined in immediately after. Separating from the ladies she offered Elijah, Kol , Marcel, and Vincent a huge grin, they all reciprocated before greeting Zelina and the rest of the pack. "You have to come to the Abattior, Hayley, no questions asked. We will kick Nik out for a few days if need be." She laughed at the suggestion. She chanced a glance at Sergio, who was obviously staying pit far enough to not interfere but near enough to hear everything. "Hotel," He mouthed. Hayley nodded, partly sorry that she was making Sergio stay in a hotel alone but it would be far more unfair to make him stay with her and God knows what Klaus would do to him this time if he even shows up , Cami's probably keeping him busy. She shook that thought away. She wouldn't let it dampen her mood. What Klaus had done was on his head alone. The rest of the Mikaelsons are still her family. She was sure they saw Sergio and especially pleased to see no hostility towards him. With a final glance at Sergio, she left with the Mikaelsons.
Gods she had missed the Abattior, it had been her home for so long. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Klaus standing at the gate. "Welcome back, Hayley. There's much to talk about but a family dinner first? I will excuse myself." Hayley was stunned beyond words. Did Klaus just agree to leave the compound just so she could spend time with people who were his family first? Before she could speak, he vamped out. "Niklaus doesn't stay here much. He misses you far too much to be able to live here without you." Elijah offered. She wasn't sure what to say. "Cami's then?" "Of course not. The mansion just outside city bounds. Nik doesn't sleep with her, I told you it was a one-time thing, but she is still his therapist. I told you she slipped him something. " "Bekah, let's just eat." The spread was definitely Mikaelson style. There was everything in abundance, but she was sure she spotted all her favorites. "Nik directed the menu." This astonished her far more. The evening was perfect. She enjoyed it to her heart's content, and yet she missed Klaus madly. Damn it. Bekah had told her there was a surprise for her in her room. She was both anxious and excited, but she had not expected that. The few legal complications she had while expanding the Bayou had stopped her from implementing a few of her ideas. It was the paperwork for that all done, settled, and funded. Attached to it was a letter and an elegant platinum chain with the pendant of Mikaelson seal and an M embossed on it. Apprehensive, she opened the letter,
"Dear Hayley,
Wherever you go whatever you choose, I want you to know that you will always and forever have a family and a home here. Whether or not I am included matters little, if you wish to live here little wolf, you only need to say the word and I will make myself scarce. This was your home, Hayley, and you were happy here. I will never forgive myself for what led you to lose it, but I made you a promise, little wolf. If I need to kneel and beg and grovel for it, I will, but please give me a chance. A single chance. I once came to this city to conquer it, to make it my Empire, but it's far too empty without my Queen. Even if you choose to not give me a chance, know you will be just in your actions but I still beg you, stay here, with a family that loves you and the one that you love, with a pack that needs you. Of course, your companion Sergio is also welcome to stay if you desire, no harm will befall his life, you have my word. You told me you didn't wish to see me ever again and I am sorry to have shown you my face little wolf but I simply couldn't leave without having a glimpse of you. I love you, Hayley, I always have, my Queen and my little wolf.
Yours and yours alone , always and forever,
Klaus ."
Her legs failed her as she dropped to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably." Klaus " was the only thing she could manage to say. So she sobbed his name because it's the only person she wants, needs, and loves so much.
"I made a grave mistake, little wolf, one that you can hold me accountable for all eternity. But it took me a thousand years to find you, so even if it takes me another thousand to earn your forgiveness, I will do whatever it takes." Her head snapped up at that gentle voice. "Klaus..." He was kneeling beside her in a flash. "Tears don't become you, little wolf. I am sorry for causing you such pain." "No Klaus, please don't go... We will find a way, and we will make it work." He kissed her forehead softly with such love, Hayley couldn't breathe. "Thank you, little wolf." "Zelina told me what happened Klaus, it's not going to be easy to move past this stuff, but I love you, Klaus, and we have an eternity together. "My thoughts exactly, little wolf."
It took a while, a lot less groveling and far more honest effort at openness and communication. But it worked, they were happy, just a little bit if Fairplay and yet it could have cost them all their happiness but fairness to each other brought them back. For two people who saved each other from their darkest times, there would be no such thing as an end. Together and in love, Always and Forever.
Please let me know if you like it. I myself didn't like that ending at so thanks for giving me a chance to rewrite it.
do you think hayley is in love with klaus? and if she is in love with klaus, why did she have an affair with elijah and not give klaus a chance?
Ah this is an easy question. The entirety of Klaus and Hayley's relationship is governed by two factors, circumstances and timing. Try and put yourself in Hayley's shoes. She sleeps with Klaus ends up pregnant and doesn't know it until the witches kidnap her. Now the only person she wants to see is Klaus but he doesn't show up, instead Elijah does. Hayley is obviously freaked out by the whole ordeal and Elijah comforts her. Now when Klaus does show up all he does is throw accusations at her of sleeping with another man and says to her face to kill her and the baby. Even when he accepts the baby he only gives a damn about the child not Hayley. Upto that point only Elijah has shown genuine concern towards Hayley herself and not the baby so obviously she starts to like him. I'm season 1 there are definitely sweet moments between Klaus and Hayley but Klaus always alternates between hot and cold. He is kind one time and absolutely hostile the next so she naturally finds comfort in Elijah and starts a relationship with him. Why cause Klaus doesn't give a damn about her, only the baby and he is off with Genevive and Cami in s1. Now Hayley truly realizes she loves him when he is ready to sacrifice himself for hope but the problem is by the time they both realize it that is in season 3 they are already in too deep with Cami and Elijah and Jackson. Then Cami and Jackson die and they both bond over that but Klaus pushes her in Elijah's direction in season 3 just like he pushed her to Jackson in season 2 for the sake of having a pack to rule over. The writers themselves screwed everything by not properly setting the pace for Klayley and instead chose other ships.
So to answer your question yes Hayley absolutely loves Klaus given how many times she prioritizes him over everyone else wants him safe and whatnot. When Hayley wasn’t ready for a relationship with Klaus and actually wanted Klaus to be kind, to give him a chance, he was not. When he was kind later, and she tried to give him a chance he shut the door in her face and considered her to have no feelings for him (I thought i was out of the running ages ago he says to her while she writes the letter in season 1) and hence pushed her to other men while trying to strategically tie her to him. Because to Klaus Hope and Hayley are package deal, amd that's non-negotiable. He wouldn’t take one while giving up the other. He doesn't give a fuck about anything else. His thought process goes like this: I can't have her she likes someone else but I will die before I let her go so better she be with my brother and they both stay. Two birds in one stone.
Hayley's is like this: Klaus is the father of my daughter and I want him in her life, that’s non negotiable but he doesn't love me like that and Elijah does and I have already reciprocated to Elijah so I will stay with him.(she only married Jackson to fulfil Klaus's demands and that also gave her control over the pack. Again two birds in one stone. She can have Klaus and the pack like that)
Yeah, it's hell when you think of it but the fact that they will go to such lengths to be with each other(in each other's life) should be evidence enough of love.
When do you think Klaus first realized he was in love with Hayley?
That's a tough question, really cause I think there were several moments through all seasons where you can tell that he was clearly and irrevicably in love with her but then they both go back to hostility so it's impossible to maintain consistency of it but only when we look at the words. The action, each and everyone is the greatest proof that he loved her since the first season.
He had initial attraction towards her when they had a one night stand. But they deepen their bonding, especially when he finds out she's like him, a cast away who learned to fight . And the intimacy blooms until Elijah Mikaelson yours truly, ruins everything and makes Klaus reserved and cold again but by the nothing true scene Klaus's feelings have definitely deepened to what we call love and it's most clearly visible after the witches kill Hayley and kidnap Hope but Klaus stays there holding Hayley's lifeless body with the most pained expression anyone can ever have instead of chasing after the witches. (So yeah he loves her for sure by then)
In season 2, we see his love less openly and frequently as the number of obstacles have multiplied in the form of previously Elijah, now Jackson. But it's visible when he threatens to deposit Jackson's head on a pike if he betrays Hayley, also when he has the most resigned and defeated look possible on his face during Jackson and Hayley's wedding and lastly when he curses her pack into wolf forms instead of slaughtering them even though in Klaus's eyes taking Hope away is like the highest of crimes simply because no matter how much he loathes the action, he can't bear to see Hayley dead.
Season 3 though? Klaus might as well be yelling I LOVE YOU HAYLEY every five minutes. Verbally humiliates him, physically hits him, Klaus's can't even hit back. Sees Hayley hug hope after so long and is literally oozing guilt, like hello since when does Klaus feel guilty for punishing someone. Apologizes to her, saying he was wrong, tell her he trusts her for the second time(HAS NEVER SAID IT EVEN ONCE TO ANY OTHER CHARACTER) , literally thanks her for not abandoning him even though he gave her a thousand reasons and now the chefs kiss KNEELS FOR HER, to save her , and we are talking about the most proud being in entire tvdu.
Counts on her to save his family and him and raise Hope and fully relinquishes his life, the lives of his siblings to her when they are all on the verge of death.
I could talk about this for ages but here's the gist, Klaus began to love her when she stood up against Mikael for him, his father who made Hayley hear every horrible profanity he could attach to Klaus and yet she looks him in the eye and says Mikael said nothing true with so much sincerety that Klaus is at a loss of words. And he spends the next episodes and season trying to stifle the feeling but by season 3 it was basically a public declaration. Sorry for not giving you one specific moment cause they all kind of contribute invaluably. (Thanks a ton for asking this question, one of the best ones)
The Klayley Fandom doesn't dwell enough on the fact that Klaus, a man who puts his family above all, considered Elijah well and truly dead to him only after his actions lead to Hayley's death. Like,they have been at odds multiple times, but that's where Klaus draws the line. Elijah, who has been the only constant in Klaus's millenia long lifetime, his brother, his greatest confidant, and the one person Klaus would seemingly never give up on and Klaus throws all that time's worth of connection between them out of the door the second he realizes Elijah's actions have led to Hayley's death is the most definingly obvious sign of his love for Hayley and that it transcends every other similar emotion he has ever felt. (Exception being Hope for both Klaus and Hayley) This simply isn't discussed enough because seriously, the vehemence with which Klaus tells Marcel, ENOUGH, HE LET HAYLEY DIE!!!
That speaks volumes of how he truly felt . He literally chose her over Elijah and people think characters like Camilie or Caroline could ever hope to compete.
I don't know if you're taking story requests, but I hope you won't turn down my suggestion to write a one-part humanfanfic. Subject: Hayley Marshall is the only daughter of a poor family. When she was only 13 years old, her parents were killed because of a debt they couldn't pay, leaving her completely alone. But the situation will soon change. King Mikael's servants found the young girl sleeping on a bench outside and immediately brought her to King Mikael. This allowed Hayley to receive the necessary training and become the first female bodyguard in King Mikael's palace. From the age of 13 until he was 18, she was Lord Klaus' bodyguard. Hayley had managed to maintain her professionalism over the years, but her feelings confused her. Could it be that she has romantic feelings for Klaus, who is feared by everyone, trapped by rules, and who must soon marry a lady he does not love for the good of his people?
While I am busy with studies, I would never turn down such a kind request. Though I'm not sure it could be wrapped up in one part. But we will see.
Part 1
Hayley
He was late, Prince Klaus was late. Again. There were two rumors circulating to explain this. Either he does it purposefully to spite his father, or he really engages in a sex spree at night, leaving him exhausted in the morning. And if Hayley knew anything about him at all, she would bet it was the former. Her contract for being a bodyguard was almost at its end. With whatever money she had saved over the years; she could use that to leave for someplace else, be free, and see the world for herself. Why, then, did the thought of leaving elicit a pang of pain at every instance she thought of it. But now was not the time to be daydreaming of yet unachievable destinations.
With a long suffering sigh, she threw open the door to the prince's room. This would usually be an assured invitation for certain death but being privy to his personal life for so long a time of being his bodyguard had earned her some privileges and Klaus had no business telling her when to walk in his chambers if he counted on her to do the protecting.....
The thought vanished as soon as it spurred by the sight she just walked in on. Klaus, half-naked, clad in a towel,his hair partially drenched. Yes, she had seen this sight before, yes she should have been used to it but was she? She will be damned if she said yes. There was something alluring about him, even when countless people deemed him the personification of darkness. "After all, one must never mistake the allure of darkness. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it." It was something Klaus used to spout from all those philosophy texts he read just to criticise the writers on their limited understanding of human emotions.
"What's the matter little wolf? It's nothing you haven't seen before." A lopsided smile with those stunning blue eyes sparkling in mischief motivated Hayley to look away, her face heating in embarrassment for spacing out while staring at him and also due to the sight of his....
What in the devil's name was wrong with her?She was his bodyguard, not one of the flirtatious maids in the castle that swooned at the sight of him despite fearing him. Not one to lose, she quipped back equally as fast: " Not new but definitely soon to be extinct if you choose to while around and make us late for the fifth time this week to the King's daily briefings."
The sparkle in his eyes snuffed out at the mention of the King. A colder tone overtook his next response, "Yes, yes the ever important briefings from my father which are but his ruse to bare my inability to rule to the lot of his ministers and rub it in my face every other chance he gets. While I would love nothing more than to meet a swift end and be rid of these by all means let us hurry."
"Why are you yelling at me? Listen here Klaus, it's one thing to be furious at your father and entirely another to take it out on me. It's my job to do what King Mikael asks of me and I will not be made to deal with your temper tantrums." What an infuriating bastard Klaus was but she understood. With how much Mikael controlled his life, these little ways were his only means of rebellion, something his father couldn't punish him for since the meetings were public.
Klaus
He didn't like taking his anger out on Hayley, but usually it was too late by the time he was done with it. It's infuriating how she keeps drawing the line between them, keeping up that flimsy facade of professionalism. Despite all the years they have spent together, she so readily dismisses it as her job. He could still remember the first time they met:
"Boy, this is Hayley. She will be your bodyguard. No questions asked, boy. Learn a thing or two about fighting from the girl Niklaus. It just might elevate you to that of a soldier's level of expertise in fighting. " He had decided he would loathe the girl. No servant of his father was an ally of his. And a woman, no a girl, would protect him. It enraged him beyond any sense that he Klaus Mikaelson, the only heir of the warrior Dynasty, was being looked down upon by not only his father but not he had added some girl to the list. "You, I don't care what your name is, I do not require your services. You and I shall spar, and when I emerge victorious, you shall relay this to my father and have your services offered elsewhere."
He hadn't looked at her properly before but she certainly had a unique appearance. Brunette hair and eyes like nothing Klaus had ever seen. Hazel green. There was a spark of fury and resolve when he declared his challenge, and to his astonishment, the girl had the audacity to roll her eyes. "If, Prince, if. " And no one had ever made his title sound so much like an insult before. If he wanted to prove his father wring before, now he wanted the girl humiliated. How dare she assume such a tone with him.
So spar they did. And Klaus had never in his entire life proven so wrong. She fought with so much ferocity that it reminded him of a wolf cub he had taken in when he found it injured and had raised it into a wolf only for his father to butcher it. There was no clear winner, but Klaus might as well admit he had lost, given how exhausted he looked compared to her. "Ugh, were you in military training, too? Why the hell do you need a bodyguard if you fight this well? The king is nuts." He shut her mouth by slamming his hand over it. Did she have a death wish, and did she just call his father nuts? "Don't say that in open little wolf." She had taken such offense to that nickname, but he had an inch or two over her in height and was definitely more built. He would find out in passing years that the vpw he had made of loathing her would turn out to be impossible to uphold. Even then, and especially now. So as they both headed towards his father's court, he muttered in a voice only Hayley could hear, "Sorry, little wolf. Bad morning. I will make it up to you later." And for all her claims of hating that nickname, he could swear he saw her smile.
Hayley
By the time we greeted the King, all the Council members had settled themselves. There were more so than usual. What the hell was going on? She excused herself to her reserved position near Klaus's seat when King Mikael's booming voice thundered the words that somehow shattered her heart. "Niklaus, I have decided that you shall marry the Princess of Mystic Falls, Princess Caroline. Nuptials will take place two weeks from now."
That's all for part 1. Send me a query for part 2 as a reminder, and let me know if you actually like this.

"Enough, he let Hayley die."
Scenes: (You said underrated hence these don't include all of my favorites but I love these just as much) Also these aren't in any specific order.
1)The scene in the wood clearing where he apologies to hayley and thanks her for not abandoning him.
2)When he is consoling her after she becomes a hybrid and finds it hard to cope.
3)Hayley and Klaus talking about when he was trapped and Klaus let's her know how it scares him to be locked up in a place.
4)The mothertrucker hat scene and the bar scene with Hollis when they are on the run.
5)When they attack Lucien Castle's company and the conversation before that.
6)The episode in season 4 when hope frees marcel has a scene when the compound is attacked, Klaus senses it and warns hayley but it's too late and her neck is snapped and then Klaus in anger kills everyone there.
7)The phone call between Klaus and Hayley in season 5.
8)The naming of Hope scene.
9)When klaus cried reading Hayley's letters to him.
10)The conversations between Hayley and Klaus in 4x07 and also the part in it where she asks klaus to stay inside where it's safe.
what do you think about the klayley relationship in the vampire diaries? if hayley hadn't gotten pregnant after the one-night stand but met klaus again, would anything have happened between them? other than the sex scene, what was your favorite klayley scene in the vampire diaries?
I like to think it was all about timing(they met again at the perfect timing). Though after watching the show , I was sure Klaus and Hayley were soulmates but more so kindred spirits who could understand and accept each other the best. We saw Klaus showing compassion for Hayley in TVD too so it isn't far fetched to think something could happen between them if they met after that. (Klaus's violent outburst in orignals was fueled due to Elijah's and witches nagging). And I am a writer(not just Klayley but on a general level), and what I envision could happen, I make it happen.
My favorite Klayley scenes in tvd have to be these:
1.When he saves her from the vampire attacking her and also when he tells Damon she is off-limits
2. When he calls her little wolf for the first time
3. Their first meeting(you can see the sparks since then)
Thank you for your queries. I loved answering them
I watched 2x14 of the Originals tonight and when Klaus told all the assembled werewolves at Hayley's wedding that Hope was still alive after killing his own father just for finding out the very same thing a mere handful of episodes ago, it made me think of this moment in this Studio C sketch -- "she knew, so naturally, she had to be taken care of! Of course, I didn't realize I'd be revealing that secret myself just a few hours later, but at the time it seemed very important to keep her quiet." Like. I guess I get his reasoning and can sort of see why it changed. But for a guy who killed the biological father he'd been so curious about just a few days ago to keep his secret, he sure did just announce that same dang secret to a roomful of strangers. If I was his biodad hanging out on the Other Side (or wait I think maybe that's gone by now? But if it was still there) I'd be trying my darndest to slap that idiot upside the head for that.
every time i look at hope i see the child of mine that i never got to raise. that's how i feel about her. that's how much i want to protect her.
when it comes to who ppl date in the vampire diaries the bar is in hell. elena w damon after he killed jeremy and did not know he would survive + admitted to it. caroline and klaus after he killed jenna, carol and STABBED HER IN THE STOMACH AND BIT HER???? tyler being with anyone in general after what happened w vicky 😐. i choose to believe bonnie just has standards and good morals for herself and that's why her relationships are few and far between.
hi can you do headcanons about joseph morgan having a crush on you?
(not my gif credit to the owner)
How Joseph would react to having a crush on you :
At first he would start to deny it and saying "you're just a friend"
He then would start realising you are not just a friend because Gillies pointed it out that he was staring a lot
He would always try to strike up a conversation with you to find out how to impress you
But what he didn't know is that y/n had a crush on him
In interviews with the cast he would always try sitting next to her and whisper in her ear
Months go by and he finally has the courage to ask you on a date
Let's be real he'll be a complete gentleman and bring you flowers, pull out your chair, pay for dinner, open your doors and ask if he can kiss you
You try to keep your relationship a secret from the public but the cast already knew and Claire accidentally outs the relationship in a interview
Some fans are happy about it because Joseph is happy and smiling more
Others are hateful but you both don't care
Example of what he post
JosephMorgan - she's mine
Example what you post
yourusername - happy boy
You get married after 2 years of dating

Masterlist / Serie Masterlist
You started walking towards your house with disappointment on your shoulders. Your tired of every meeting with Stefan ending up like this. He always took a job, was always busy with Elena. Even if you didn't want to see truth, deep down you knew. You were hurting more and more each day. Because he's loves still Elena. You get it your key in your pocket and walked to Caroline's house.
You've been living with them for several years. The sheriff agreed because she didn't want you to stay with your abusive family any longer.. You and Caroline have grown closer since then. You distanced yourself from Elena during your time with her and decided she wasn't such a great friend after all.. Yet you didn't turn your back on her when she asked you for help.
When you entered the garden, you saw the box in front of the door. It was a large rectangle of navy blue and tied with a beautiful white ribbon. You bent down and picked it up. It had your name handwritten on it. You pursed your lips. While holding the box with one hand, you opened the door with the other and entered. "Hey, Care!"
"I'm here, babe!" When you heard her voice from the hall, you closed the door with your foot. You took off your boots and put on your slippers instead. You left the key on the key ring and walked over to her with the box in hand.
"Did you see who left this?” The large box in her hand immediately caught the blonde's attention. She quickly got up from the sofa she was sitting on and came towards you.
"No, but I have a guess. " she said gruffly. She took the box from his hand and placed it on the table. You both had the his name in mind and didn't like he equally.. Caroline's reason was that he had hooked Tyler and confused him. Yours was different. When you first saw him, you didn't know who he was. He looked good as hell, and all you could think about was to go talk to him—until you saw Elijah by his side. He also tried to talk to you two days after that, but you snapped him. He had tried to kill your friends, had made Stefan his slave, and killed Jenna. You didn't really sympathize with him.
At least that's what you told yourself
"Will you open?" Caroline nudged you impatiently. You nodded and took a deep breath, taking the envelope in your hand. Trying not to tear it, you opened it through the cut and took the note inside. Caroline poked her head over your shoulder and looked at the paper.
Dear Y/N,
We would love to see you and your friend Caroline at the Mikaelson Ball. For new beginnings and the continuation of traditions.
You turned the back of the paper. There was a handwriting that you did not recognize, but when you saw the name at the bottom, you knew who it belonged to. "Save me a dance, fondly. -Klaus."
"Really?"You rolled your eyes and threw the paper on the table. It would be foolish of him to really expect you to do this. You weren't even planning to go to that ball, but he wanted a dance from you.Still, you couldn't help your curiosity. Your hand went to the box to get the rabbit out of the hat. "I hope it's a very bad dress." You laughed at Caroline and opened the box. Well... that was a beautiful dress.
You've never seen anything more like this. It was dark blue. There were silver embroideries on the corset part. The tulle straps on her shoulders looked very nice. You noticed that Caroline was also keeping quiet."So I guess it's not such a bad dress, huh?" You turned your head to him. She grabbed the dress by shoulders and lifted it into the air. She turned his head towards you and raised her eyebrows."Are you joking me?"
She slowly placed the dress in the box and placed her hands on your shoulders. “This dress is amazing. See those seams? Handmade. I'm starting to think he's starting to really like you. Because if I had a dress like this, I wouldn't gift it to anyone." You tried hard not to roll your eyes.
"Well, you can wear it. I'm not coming to the prom." You closed the lid of the box and turned, leaving it on the table, but Caroline sped ahead with vampire speed.. "What about the Elena's plan? You know you need to stall Klaus.” Yeah, of course there was that topic. Yes, you hated Klaus but you really didn't feel comfortable playing tricks on him.
Tell them this over and over, but they all come back to you with the same words. 'This is for our friend.'
"Look around, when was the last time Elena did something for us?" Caroline's lips opened to answer, but closed back just as quickly. You guessed. "I thought so, too." You left her there, walked past her, and went to your room. You closed the door behind you. You lay on your back on the bed. You pressed your lips together and tried to ignore the pain in your heart. Ever since you met Klaus, that pain hasn't gone away. You pressed your hand there. You closed your eyes and took a few deep breaths. You could go and have a calming tea or go to the hospital, but staying was very difficult. You couldn't answer when the doorbell rang.
"Y/N?" Caroline opened the door and slowly walked in. She had come to your sooner than your thought. You didn't get up but you turned your head towards her. "I'm sorry." You nodded and started to sit on the bed with support from the bed. She sat next to you on the bed and slumped cross-legged. "I know you don't want to come, but can't you at least come because he wants to see you?" you knew who she meant. "Never mind Elena."
“I really don’t think I can go to Care . I feel sick.” As soon as you finished your sentence, she put her hand on your forehead. You frowned. You said, “Witches don't get physically sick.”. She pulled her hand away and looked at you. "But my heart aches. It's like having a seizure."
"When was the last time you had a seizure?" she asked. Normally she would be there at moments like this, but sometimes you tried to hide it from her.
"I don't know, " you nodded your head. She reached out and hugged you. you put your arms around her.
"I love you, okay? I can stay here tonight if you want."
"No, no. If you're going, I'll go too." she laughed and stepped back. "I'm going to wear that dress and come with you, but just because I don't want to be home alone." Caroline nodded and took your hand. You two started laughing after a few seconds of silence. "I love you too. You're my best friend, Caroline."
"Okay, we have to start getting ready!" Caroline quickly got out of bed and left the room. You were feeling a little better, the pain in your heart was starting to go away. You did breathing exercises until Caroline came into the room with the box in her hand.. "I have a blue dress, we can match and I'm sure Stefan will fall in love with you all over again when he sees you in this dress." Even if you don't think like her, you shook your head so that she wouldn't be discouraged.. You got out of bed and opened the box and held the dress over you. It fit her size perfectly.
"Come on, I'm sure there are better boys at the ball than Tyler.” Caroline grimaced. You knew she really loved Tyler, but being Klaus' half-blood had changed him a lot. Besides, he hadn't been around for a long time. He had bitten Caroline, on Klaus' orders, and left you dependent on him. You knew Klaus already knew about this, but you ended up you go to him and asked him to help. Even though you did this to save Caroline, the others sent you to her because you 'grabbed klaus'.
You were caught off guard when Caroline threw the pillow she had taken from your bed on your head, and the pillow hit you and fell to the floor. You rolled your eyes as she left laughing. With a quick flick of your wrist, you closed the door and began to take off your clothes. You really didn't think Klaus liked you enough to send you a dress like this. You always thought that his interest was to get you to his side, but that's starting to feel more and more real.You straightened your shoulders after putting on the dress. It looked beautiful on your and was even more comfortable than you thought. You walked to your closet and looked for shoes to match the dress.
You took them out thinking your white heels were appropriate. You sat down at the vanity to get your hair styled into the style you wanted. There was a little excitement in you. It was a really good opportunity to work things out with Stefan. If he doesn't get caught up in Elena's plan. You felt like you really loved him, even though your brain was telling you to break up with him.
When Caroline came into your room, the two of you started experimenting with different hairstyles. You continued your fun until two hours before the prom. When you finally got your hair in the style you wanted, you started on your make-up.. "Do you think I should break up with Stefan?" you asked, not taking your eyes off the mirror as you put on your lipstick.
"Why would you even think of such a thing?" she was dusting her face with powder. As she waved the brush at you, your nose itched from the dust. She laughed and went on with her work. You slapped her on the shoulder.
"I don't know." You admitted. You didn't know how long you had been dealing with this thought.
"It's just… He's very busy with Elena. You know. Everyone's so busy with Elena." Caroline realized what you meant. You both love Elena -most of the time, at least. But gradually you realize that you are being pushed into the background.
"At least we're each other's first choice." she said. You smiled and nodded. "If you no longer know what to do with his love, I will support you." You continued to apply your makeup. You commented on what Caroline said while she was telling you something. You left the house a little while before the prom. You grabbed a thin jacket and slid into Caroline's arm. Mikaelson Mansion wasn't very far so you walked the way there.
"You should talk to Klaus." You turned your head to blonde. "If you don't like him, he really shouldn't try so hard.."
"He killed Jenna. He's enemy."
"He's Elena's enemy. Not your." You remained silent and bit your lips. You truly loved Jenna and grieved her death. Even that was enough to make Klaus your enemy, but... You couldn't look at him like your previous enemies..
As you entered, the servant at the door took your jacket from ypur shoulder. Caroline slipped out of your arm. "I'm going to Bonnie's."
"Are you going to leave me alone?" when you turned your head to the left and she pointed to Klaus, who was staring at you as the woman across from him laughed. You briefly made eye contact as he looked at Klaus with him. Smiled at you.
"It looks like he won't leave you alone." You called after her as she left, but she didn't stop. You rolled your eyes and started walking towards the crowd. You didn't stop until Klaus showed up..
"Good evening."
"I need a drink." You took a deep breath and walked past him. The smell of him cologne seemed to get stronger with every step you took away from him... You kept walking without turning around. Drinking was an excuse, you wouldn't even drink it. You thought Klaus knew this, but he still didn't come after you. You searched for Stefan in the crowd, but he was nowhere to be seen. Elijah caught your attention as you struggled to get somewhere by the wall.. During him talk, you saw Esther come down the stairs. All the Mikaelsons were there. The eldest is Finn and the youngest is Kol. Remembered the note Klaus sent you when Elijah talked about dancing. You wore the dress because you had nothing else to wear, but you didn't intend to dance with him. You saw Stefan. You walked to go to him. You were hoping he would ask you to dance. When you followed where him eyes were looking, you saw Damon and Elena. You pressed your lips together and wanted to turn back but he had already seen you. "I didn't know you were coming."
"Caroline insisted." you said. "You?" You asked as if you didn't know the details from Caroline.
"Ester invited Elena to speak." You laughed in one syllable. Here it was again Elena. Stefan opened his mouth to say something, but just then Klaus came up to you..
"I asked you to book me a dance." Klaus even looked at you with a smile on his face.
Then he turned his gaze to Stefan. "I hope you don't mind if I steal your girlfriend from you for a few minutes." You were tired now. You knew you couldn't take this relationship any longer. Before Stefan could say anything, you grabbed Klaus's outstretched hand and turned to him. "I'm sure he'll doesn't mind. Just like he doesn't mind thinking about his ex while he has a girlfriend.." You left Stefan behind as Klaus raised his eyebrows and pulled you towards the dance floor. You didn't really like doing this to him, but you didn't want to be caught off guard by what he did to you.
You looked at the others as the music started playing. You had no idea about the waltz but everyone seemed to know what they were doing. You decided to imitate what they did. Klaus turned his head towards you as you started walking and turned across. When you looked at him, he didn't say anything, he's just made you look away. He took your hand. You put your hand on his shoulder. The tension was at its peak as you did the classical dance moves around a circle.. "glad you came."
"Well, I just came for the food."
"I heard about Caroline father." You frowned when you changed the subject. Really? You're pissed that he's reacting like it wasn't him who killed him. Bill was a shitty dad but still Caroline loved him. "Don't, everybody knows you did it." You saw Klaus' brows furrow. He's acting, he's a good actor. He's just acting."I assure you my love, I didn't kill him. I wouldn't hide it if I did."
You knew Klaus well enough to know that he was someone who wouldn't shy away from what he did. You remained silent and continued to keep up with him. "Very well, we can talk about that later. You look too beautiful in that dress."
"I didn't really have time to shop."
"I wonder what's the excuse for wearing the bracelet I gave you?" yeah, There was also a bracelet in the box. You could see in every way that it was very valuable and you wore it too. You didn't know why. You couldn't answer him. "No? Okay, you're a really good dancer.."
"Well, when Caroline wanted to be the queen of Mystic Falls, I helped her with the dance." You shook your head, pleased with the change of subject. You swallowed as you thought of what Caroline had said and turned to him. "Don't do such things."
"How?" Klaus pulled you closer with his hand on your waist. Your faces are even closer. He was smart enough to understand what you meant, but he wanted to hear the words from you..
“As if you like me. Or like you care about me. Don't act like that when you want to kill my friends." You slid your hand on his shoulder to his arm. "Just don't do that. Please." He leaned towards your ear. "But I really like you, love." He turned you around.
Kol pulled you in as you waited to meet him face to face again.. "partner exchange, darling." you turned your head and looked at Klaus. He was with Caroline, and they beside with... Stefan and Elena. You took a deep breath and turned your head to the youngest Mikaelson.
"Wasn't there really another girl left?" You tried hard not to roll your eyes. You couldn't help feeling like the Mikaelsons were stuck on you.
"No, I chose you just to understand why my brother was so impressed with you." This time you couldn't help but roll your eyes. "A hopeless romantic isn't it?"
"Yeah," You couldn't help but laugh at the smile on him face. He didn't look dangerous, but you knew he was. "Are all Mikaelsons as clingy as he is?"
"No, actually, I've never had a girlfriend before. It might be because I spent more than half of my years with a dagger." you laughed. You knew Klaus's daggers. The arm leaned towards your ear. "Besides, he's really jealous. He can't believe I'm the one making you laugh right now." As the arm moved away you turned your head and saw Klaus looking at you.. The song was almost over when you turned back to Kol.
"he's really pretty but I love my friends, he's trying to kill them. It's not a very good combination." Kol laughed as the music ended. After seeing couples slowly pull back and bow, you mimicked them. "I hope to meet again soon, darling." You smiled as Kol placed a kiss on her hand over her gloves. Indeed, if he weren't the enemy, you could even say it was a pleasure to talk to him.. You nodded and left the dance hall. You went out into the backyard as the mansion was starting to get crowded.
You were watching the garden from the door when you saw horses ahead. You went outside, not caring that it was a little cold. You walked towards them. You ran your hand through someone's mane. As the horse bent down and ate the grass on the ground, you felt someone else's presence next to you. "We finally alone, ha?"
"I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you invited me here." You spoke quickly without turning your head towards him. The smell of him cologne had taken over you again.
"I'm fancy you, that's hard yo believe?" You turned your head towards him. Without answering him, you took a step towards the horse and patted its back. You could feel him watching you, smiling. Yet you didn't look at him. "even if you don't believe, i could be a better boyfriend than him."
You laughed and turned your head towards him. "Really?" approached you. he ran him fingers over your bare shoulder. As you looked into his eyes, you resisted with all your being to stay away from his lips.
"Yeah, inside everyone's dancing and he's not with you. I never would have left you alone." you swallowed. You took a few steps back so you wouldn't be fooled by his words. You saw Klaus grin. Smart hybrid. You moved closer to the horse so that you wouldn't be under his effect "Do you like horses?"
"Yeah, i like." You couldn't look at him. You thanked the dress for keeping your knees from shaking. You hated that.
"You know? Horses are the opposite of people, they're the loyal," you began to listen to him with interest. "My father hunted me for a thousand years and the closest he ever came way the day he killed my favorite horse he... he severed its neck with a sword as a warning."
"Sorry." You turned to him not knowing what to do. You wanted to show that you were really sorry by putting your hand on his shoulder.. "Have you ever tried talking to him?"
"I was afraid of making things more complicated. Like you." You felt yourself short of breath. You understood her doing research on you, but it bothered you that he said it like that.. "Don't talk about them!" He understood what you meant when you spoke harshly, referring to your family.
"You don't know anything, Niklaus Mikaelson. And I advise you not to talk about things you don't know.." You turned around and started walking quickly inside. You were really starting to like talking to him. until him bring the matter to your family.You and your mother have never been on good terms. She tried to make you her own but you never wanted to give in to her compulsions..It was easier when use you when you were younger, but things changed as you got older. Your father said nothing to defend you. And it didn't help that he came up to you after all the fights and said you were right. That's why you completely isolate yourself from them. And when it turns out you're a witch... She hit you as hard as he could. He called you 'infidel' and kept saying things about you needing treatment. When Sheriff Forbes showed up at her door with bruises on your body, she was like a real mother to you. Maybe that was the biggest reason you got close with Caroline.Yet your 'family' still lived in town, and it was an undeniable fact that you sometimes came across it, even if you tried to stay as far away from them as possible. You were thankful they didn't tell anyone you were a witch because they saw it as a family embarrassment. You didn't realize he was following you until Klaus grabbed your arm.
"I'm sorry," he said, and you saw sincerity in his eyes. Although you didn't want to let go, you felt the anger slowly subside. "I won't say anything about this again. I just want you to come with me. I will show you something." You took a deep breath and turned your head.
"Okay, but just because I don't want to face any Salvatore." he smiled and extended his arm to you. You held on to him and started walking with him. When you entered, you climbed the stairs and entered an old room.
"So what did you want to show me?" You dragged the hair that fell on your face behind your ear as you looked around the room full of paintings.
"One of my passions." He dragged you in front of a big painting.There was a river flowing through the mountains and the clouds from the sky were reflected in the river.
"Oh impressive take it the artist at the Louvre aren't on vervain." he laughed and bowed his head. Her smile was beautiful.
"Well yeah." You extended your arm towards him. You showed me the bracelet full of diamonds on the glove.
"What about these where'd you steal this from?"
"Well that's a long story." You nodded and looked at the other pictures as he shrugged. You turned to him when you picked up a pencil drawing of a woman's face in fine detail.
"Wait, did you draw this?"
"Yeah, um. Actually one of my landscrapes is hanging at the Armitage not that anyone would like this. Have you been?" You lowered your head and put the picture back in, then looked at it again.
"I've never really been anywhere." You hadn't even ventured beyond the confines of this town.
"I'll take you," you exhaled loudly. "Wherever you want." You turned your head to him again. You really wanted to see how hard he'd try tonight to convince you. "Rome,” you raised your eyebrows slightly. “Paris,” you frowned slightly. “Tokyo.” You couldn't help laughing at his amused face.
"Wow" You both laughed. Indeed, spending time with him was perhaps not as bad as you thought, and you both forgot about the unpleasant conversation you just had.. "must be really nice to just snap your fingers and get whatever you want."
He pressed his lips together and turned to you with a smile. "Except one thing." he said. You raised your eyebrows as a question. He understood the message. "You." You turned your head and exhaled loudly. he grabbed your waist and pulled you close. He leaned towards your lips. "I could do the shit that he never did, up all night." You felt as if your knees weren't carrying you as him fingers ran up and down your bare shoulder.
"Thinkig I'm gonna steal you from him."
"Klaus," Your eyes drifted to his lips as your breath trembled. When you looked into his eyes again, you saw that his blue eyes were shining. "I have to go." You forcibly separated yourself from him. "I'm sure Caroline is bored. I have to go to her."
Klaus raised his eyebrows and pressed his lips together. You saw a sly smile on his face as because he almost broke your wall. "Well, ladies first. I'm insist." you almost felt like you were going to pass out as you walked out the door. You almost kissed him. You have never felt him cologne so intensely. After you left the room, you quickly left her side and found Caroline. She was with Bonnie. You said goodbye to Bonnie and left the prom after you spent some time trying to persuade her to go.
"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Caroline asked as she walked by, taking your arm.
"Morning." You dismissed her, but you still felt Klaus' scent close to you.

Am I the only one that was peeved that Finn was killed because I did find him pretty interesting. Like, his younger siblings are all fine being evil masterminds and stuff, but not him. It doesn't mean he's better, but he does have standards. He had potential, even more so with the fact that he had a relationship with Sage of all people. The same woman who taught Damon to use people as play things and not just food. It makes you wonder.
You'd think that Damon would see Sage as some kind of teacher figure, or that Sage was his Lexi in a way. I'm not saying Damon would have loyalty to her, but be more reluctant when it comes to killing Finn because it means going against Sage.
It could also address the fact that Damon was once like Finn, in a way. I don't remember a lot because it's been years, so bear with me. If I remember correctly, it's Damon that didn't want to turn and was fine with dying, pretty much loathing his own existence, but Stefan forced him to drink blood. Damon's only reason for turning was to be with Katherine, and Katherine not only preferred Stefan, but got Damon on some kind of wild goose chase.
Fast forward to Augustine, and turning off his emotions, leading to the Damon we have today. Granted, the writers probably didn't come up with Augustine during the 3rd season, but it's a thought.
Sure, Damon has had enjoyable banter with a lot of the Mikaelsons, but Finn could've been the one that actually posed a threat to Damon. Emotionally and psychologically. Elijah is the calm and composed one, but Finn is all no nonsense and full of rage. Finn cannot be reasoned with, but does have sense. He isn't the fear mongering Klaus, the reserved Elijah, the invading and reshaping Rebekah, or the chaotic Kol, but Finn is a force of his own. No matter how obvious he seems, he's a mystery.
If they couldn't make Finn interesting on his own, then they could've given him something to work with by giving him a history with another character.
What could've made it better is that Finn isn't like the others. If anyone says something out of pocket or offensive, he doesn't act violently, nor does he threaten them. It could show just how mature he actually is. I didn't fully watch the Originals, so maybe his already existing character contradicts this.
Back to my Damon ramble, Finn could've been something new for him. Unpredictable. He doesn't operate on self-importance like his siblings (and other vampires), but self loathing. You never really know what's going to trigger him, and you don't know if he's going to be an enemy or ally. Finn could've been a catalyst to Damon questioning his own morals and stuff. He keeps giving himself to people who don't appreciate it, and it was seen right in Dangerous Liasons. Damon goes out of his way to protect and fight for people who don't see that, which sort of puts him on the Bonnie boat. What I mean is that Damon almost became like his abusers. Using people, or letting himself be used. Usually the latter. Why does Damon do this to people? Why does Damon do this for people? Why is Damon willing to die for these people? That kind of thing.
Finn doesn't let himself be used (unless it's his mother), nor does he use people. He finds no purpose in it. Damon would be going against a man that would find no enjoyment in 'teaching him a lesson'. Damon wouldn't be sure what to do against a man that barely reacts to his jabs.
Also, Finn seemed to be the only one that didn't care that Kol got his arse handed to him, just curious. The other Mikaelsons looked mildly offended at the blatant disrespect, yet Finn wasn't the least bit bothered.
It just makes me wonder what kind of person he is, and what could've been. Why he fell in love with Sage, a person that taught Damon to be disregarding of human life. I've got many questions.
