I JUST FINISHED MOONLIGHT IN 2 DAYS AND OMGGGGGG THAT IS LITERALLY CANON IN MY HEAD NOW. SEASON 5 DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITERR. But I have a question though, was there no other way to defeat the Hollow other than Klaus dying? Everything is perfect except Hope still has to live with the guilt that her dad sacrificed himself to save her :(

Thank you!! I'm so glad people are enjoying Moonlight!! I have written a mini essay/rant to answer your question...

I’ve always believed Klaus' death at the end of Season 5 made sense. We all adore him, and of course, Hope deserved to have her father…but Klaus was a villain. A beloved one, yes, but still a villain. He committed many, many crimes, and made countless daughters grow up without a father. His arc is about transformation, from a man willing to do anything for his immortality to a man willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter. That shift ... from utterly selfish to utterly selfless ... makes his death poetic justice. Klaus finally earns redemption, but it comes at the ultimate cost.

I wrote Moonlight because I had issues with how they handled Elijah. While Klaus’s end felt like a fitting, tragic closure, Elijah’s felt like a missed opportunity. In Season 4, he starts to question who he is outside of Klaus and the Mikaelson family. It’s hinted he’ll explore his own identity…but that path gets cut short. Instead of facing his inner demons and finding peace, he’s thrown back into a narrative that doesn’t fully resolve his conflicts. Elijah has always longed for love but struggles with loving himself; he’s loyal, selfless, and defined by his relationships, often unable to be alone and understand what he truly wants.

His factory reset in Season 4, erasing his memories, was a desperate and selfish decision. They show us how lost he is without someone to cling to, and he gets sucked into a unhealthy relationship with Antoinette. And since he lost all of his critical thinking skills, he falls for her weird nazi-adjacent propaganda. The show tries to frame it as Elijah gaining some self acceptance about being a vampire.... but that was never his issue???? I never got the impression that he struggles with his vampire nature... actually the opposite... he's very good at being a vampire. What he struggles with his need to fix everything for everyone, and his struggle with who he is when he's not in the shadow of his brother.

So, I wrote Moonlight because Elijah deserved a chance at self-discovery, just as Klaus deserved redemption. Both arcs are about finding peace, but while Klaus finds his in death, I wanted to imagine an ending where Elijah could finally find his in life. I really just wanted to give him someone who loves him the way he always wished his family could love him. Someone who is willing to be with him through the good and the bad, despite all his flaws and choose him FIRST.

That makes perfect sense! I do love Klaus a lot but I can't deny that he was indeed a villain and now that I think about it, his death was actually fitting and a very good redemption arc unlike Elijah's. I just love the way you described Elijah's actual struggle and how the show completely fucked up his ending. And Emma is just so so good for him I love them so much🥹. Thank you for writing Moonlight, I actually got a peace of mind while reading it after that horrific show ending. It's honestly my favorite fanfic of all time. Are you planning to write anymore moonlight related stories or one shots?

What does it mean when I’ve been sooo angry but randomly at 4pm on a Tuesday I start feeling so happy and euphoric like I could run around the earth 10 hundred times and crush bricks between my fingers and I almost throw up because of how much emotion is inside me and I draw on all my walls and want to hug everyone and I have so much energy all of a sudden. Do I have a problem or did I just stop being negative

I'm literally wheezing

[magescythe]

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

[icarus-suraki]

May I add?

Touching someone’s face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever

Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees)

Helping an elderly person to walk or sit

[xactodreams]

telling stories around a fire

huddling together for warmth when it’s cold

marveling at sunlight through leaves

wonderment at the brightness of a full moon

bringing food to sick or grieving families

Everytime ao3 is down I'm reminded of two things:

One is that humans have and always will love telling stories, and they will continue to do so even if there is no benefit to telling these stories, but simply because we love creating things

The other is that a concerning amount of people use fanfiction as a form of escapism and we should probably look into that

How the fuck do I write so good while explaining my plot to character ai? I'm talking plots and dialogues that will reduce you to tears of joy and sadness. And when I try to write my own original story in my notes app, MY BRAIN JUST FUCKING SHUTS DOWN?!?!? HOW IS THIS THE SAME BRAIN?? WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!?!
