[beautyqueenforbes]

I’m really, really starting to get sick of this whole thing going around that Klaus telling Caroline he intended to be her last love wasn’t that big of a deal because ‘he has probably had tons of romantic moments like that in his thousand-year lifespan’. Let me remind you that it’s basically canon that he never really loved anyone after Tatia died. Did he sleep around? Sure. He probably had a good amount of relationships like the ones he had with Genevieve or the Crescent Wolf girl in the opera flashback, where they rolled around in bed a couple times and he was mildly monogamous. There is strong evidence to support that Caroline was the first woman since Tatia that had a major impact on him on an emotional level, besides, obviously, Rebekah. So don’t tell me that him promising to wait for her, to show her the world and commit to her whenever she was ready to pop up on his doorstep wasn’t a big deal, that it wasn’t an important step in Klaus’ character development. Pre-Caroline, he was depicted as a ruthless monster that had little interest in anybody outside his family, and those he did entertain, he wasn’t full-on concerned for their well-being or safety. I mean, he saved Caroline over his own sister. So don’t tell me that Caroline didn’t open him up, that his words were just another in a long list of romantic acts he committed over the span of several centuries. Because you and I both know that’s not the case.

[galvanizedfriend]

HIII if you don’t mind sharing, what are your fav klaroline fics? New and old, I’m in need of new reads 🙏

I'm probably not the best person to be doing new fic recs. 🥲 I have sadly not been reading that much Klaroline myself these days. When I do read fic, it's for other stuff. So my recs are either old or new-ish. 😂 But hopefully you can find something to your liking that haven't read yet here.

Buckle up because I took my sweet time with this list, nonnie.

. Inertia Overcome by @avari20

The first KC fanfic I remember reading the reason why I finally got pulled into the fandom after years of watching TVD as a reasonable spectator (so rly, if you guys can't stand to see me around anymore after all this time, it's this fic's fault for being so good). Honestly one of this fandom's statement works. If you haven't read it yet, please do.

. Timeless by @marvelouskatie

Same as the above. One of the most iconic KC fics of all time imho. The canon AU to end all canon AU. When I first decided to come out of the shadows and create a tumblr and actually start interacting with folks, this was the first fic that was recced to me. I was very grateful then, and now I'm here to pass this knowledge on.

. Picturesque by @supernutellastuff

Honestly of the sweetest, most heartwarming fics I've ever read! It's a human AU that's a How I Met Your Mother sort of adaptation, and honestly the first time I've ever enjoyed HIMYM. I love a good ensemble fic and this is just it! Supernutella is so talented.

. Quiet Light by @definedareasofuncertainty

This fic was WRITTEN FOR ME because of how much I pestered my friend Luiza about Carolijah and this will forever feel like a trophy to my heart. 🥰 It made me feel ALL THE FEELINGS. I hated Caroline, I loved Caroline, I loved my baby Elijah, I hated him, I also hated Klaus (he's such a fucking asshole omfg), but then the end was just DHAGHDDASAS!! You think you're in for a certain kind of story and it turns out to be so much more. It is, deep down, about the brothers, how selfish they are, how they can hurt each other more than anyone, but how they love one another above anything else, even when they want to kill each other (and fall in love with their brother's girl!!!). It's beautiful, like everything Luiza writes, and it genuinely made me cry.

. long limbs and frozen swim by @definedareasofuncertainty

I saw a discussion the other day about how whoever wrote this fic JUST GOT IT, and I have to say I completely agree with the person who made that comment. Luiza just NAILS Caroline's grief and loneliness after her mother's death, how isolating and gut-wrenching it is. Klaus being the person who finds her, who knows exactly what to say without her ever having to spell it out, the one who can truly see her, is so honest too. This fic is sensitive and absolutely beautiful. Luiza's writing is perfection and this is for sure one of my all-time favorites.

. Whisper to me, Help me remember by @lalainajanes

This story reimagines the plot with the "villains" of TO S3 in a way that proves my point that the premise of that season was good, but execution was absolute crap. All of the potential the De Martels had to be incredible antagonists was completely destroyed at the hands of the show writers - but explored to perfection by Laine's much more capable hands. Klaus is freed after 10 years in captivity to find that Caroline had been working with Tristan this whole time in order to take him down - except something is not quite right about that. While you're at it, please read all of Laine's fics! It's a delight.

. Into the Woods by @jinxedwood

I wept when I read this because it's the post-TO canon fic I didn't even know I needed. Caroline's search for a way to stop her twins' merger ends up leading her to someone who's been watching over her on the Other Side. 😭 I thought I'd always rather live in denial when it came to how TO ended, but this fic made my heart so full! Also, jinxedwood's use of fae mythology here was incredible.

. All I Need by @euvixen

This story is HOT. It taught me things about the werewolf AU universe I was not prepared to learn, but I am a much happier person after reading it. It's a canon mates AU that will leave you 🥵🥵🥵🥵 I speak as though the story was merely about the smut, but it's actually much more than that. A TVD S3 reimagine of sorts that is incredibly satisfying. That's my favorite season of TVD, but this is still even better.

. the birth and death of the day by @little-miss-sunny-daisy

Anyone who's known me for a some time knows how this fic was my entire personality for a while there. I'm obsessed with Kelly's writing, and I have this fic on a freaking pedestal. I first started reading it when it was on a six years hiatus, and I was *so* into it I didn't even bother me that it might never get updated because it was so good I was just happy I'd found it. But then my silly comments inspired Kelly to come back to it, finish it, and it has honestly been my greatest accomplishment as a part of this fandom because this is a masterpiece. It's a TVD/Supernatural crossover where Caroline is a step-sister to the Superbros. It's truly, truly epic, with beautiful writing. This could genuinely be a show. It's amazing, just read it.

. this is a harvest by @highgaarden

This, right here, is the perfect Klaroline-within-canon story. This is the story that put my revolt to rest and gave my spirit some much deserved peace where those two are concerned. This is exactly what canon should've been like. I'm not even joking, this is IT. If you'd asked me what I thought the perfect Klaroline development should be like I probably would've said something very vague because I couldn’t explain it, I’m not that great or creative a writer, but now I can just show you this story and let you bask in the amazingness of a fantastic read that will not only keep you thoroughly entertained, but will also be the answer to all the questions you didn't even know you had.

. Paradise Lost by Borzoi

When i grow up, I want to learn how to write like Borzoi. All of their fics are incredible novella-like reads. It's addictive. And this is probably my favorite (it varies though, sometimes I'm in a Parisian Deal era). What happens after Klaus and Caroline sleep together in 5x11, and how they eventually find their way back to each other. It's just one of those stories that you can't stop reading after you start. It's so rich, so deep, so perfectly IC. One of those fics to end all fics.

. The Stubborn Grace of Being Loved Regardless by @helpless-in-sleep One of the modern day classics, if you will. This fic is such a stunning, vivid and delicate picture of Caroline's mind as she was dealing with the consequences of the abuse she suffered at the hands of Damon. She's still human, but she's probably more IC than we've seen her ever on the show when it comes to this. The bond she forms with Klaus is truly incredible too, and speaks a lot of how the two of them really do have a lot in common (even with Caroline still as a human), but it's really the Caroline study part of the story that touches me. The writing is absolutely beautiful as well.

. it takes a while to settle down by theviolinist

This story is a punch to your stomach, but it is PERFECTION in 8k words. It's hot, it's bittersweet, it's SO in character and, in my head, I kinda like to pretend that this is what happened before Caroline married Stefan. lol

. Wanderlust by @bellemorte180 Anybody who was a part of fandom around the time this story was being published can tell you how much of an EVENT it was. There were discussion groups about the mystery. It was so entertaining. Erica's attention to detail and how she wove the little clues throughout the chapters made this a genuine thriller. I particularly some of the side-characters here. It's honestly another fandom staple I think everyone should read.

--

In terms of newer fics that I can rec you, I have two that are on my TBR. One of them is a WIP that I've been slowly going through, and the other one I know was recently finished.

. make them bow by @stars-and-darkness

This was recced to me by two friends recently and I started reading it a while back and thought it was incredible! I have sadly been awful with keeping up with stuff, but just based on the raving reviews and the five chapters I read, I fully believe it to be just as awesome as it seems to be. The writing was so good, and I was just in love with Klaus' voice in this story. It was so reminescent of early-days TVD Klaus, which is by far my favorite Klaus of all. Sexy and dangerous and so smooth. I loved it! Need to get back to it.

. Wolf Club by @Radioactive79

Listen, if you like kid fics, this is absolutely for you. The whole story is narrated by an eight-year-old OC, the daughter of Ray Sutton, the first werewolf Klaus kills when he's trying to start his mass-production of hybrids. She's a little wolf herself, and a while little thing who was subjected to her fair share of child trauma. Klaus has no idea what to do with her, but ends up taking her with him as continues on his journey, and ends up forging a bond with the little girl. I cannot tell you how delicious this story is. It has Klaroline, yes, but for me the little girl is the absolute star of the company. I usually hate OCs, especially children, in fics, but this one is AMAZING. Seriously. The way this story is written is glorious. I can't recommend it enough.

[galvanizedfriend]

hi dearest <3 if I don't bother you at least once every week, the world would stop spinning, lol. BTW! I was re-reading TW (as always...oops) and... may I ask for some more dad!Klaus and mama!Caroline moments, please? SORRY IF I SOUND RUDE, but I really love their interaction with Eve, they're just so heartwarming, and now that she can actually speak, it would be a perfect time to increase their scenes together. I'm sorry if I seem arrogant 😭😭

have a wonderful day <3

You never bother me, friend ❤️

And you're not being rude either. I can say there will be more scenes of Klaus, Caroline and Eve in the 3 chapters we have left.

I don't know if you ever had the chance to read the outtakes, but it was basically all Klaroeve moments 😂 With the exception of the first one, I think, which was Klaus teaching Caroline how to feed after she turns. But anyway. I reopened it for a bit in case you wanna check it out, since I don't know when I'll be posting the next chapter.

I also don't know how long it'll be up, because I looked at it for two minutes and already saw so many things I wanna change, omfg 😂 So I make no promises, but for now, it's there.

And antis said that she was terrified of him. I only remember two times when she was afraid of him. What she meant when she said that she was terrified of him, she meant that she was terrified of who she might become with him. She was always the strong, fearless, ageless or whatever it was that Klaus said she was when she was with him. But seriously, if it was anybody that she could trust to protect her, it’s him.

Hybrid Ken will always protect Vampire Barbie and put her first. 😂

[kitanaforbesmikealson-deactivat]

For real. He spoiled the fuck outta her that it actually makes me jealous. 😩

-A diamond bracelet he stole from a princess that actually has REAL diamonds.

-A stunning dress that fit her so perfectly.

-Three million dollars of course.

-A romantic drawing of her.

-Romantic letters.

-A MINIFRIDGE.

-Champagne.

-ANOTHER dress from his creepy collectibles of dresses.

-The rest of eternity.

-Himself.

[kitanaforbesmikealson-deactivat]

Everybody keeps saying that Caroline shouldn’t give into her feelings for Klaus, but I think I’ll have to disagree. Why should Caroline allow her friends and guy she dated in the past to dictate her happiness? She’ll never be happy if she continues to seek approval from them. Always people pleasing and caring wayyy too much about their useless opinions when they’ve done questionable shit themselves. I spoke to a TVD fan(one of my favorite blogs ☺️) the other day on the situation and honestly, she/they brought up some good points.

Caroline spent the majority of her life being neglected by her parents, boyfriends, and even her own friends. She has major abandonment issues because of the trauma she endured when her father left her and when her mother buried herself into work and avoided Caroline. Let’s not forget that her friends neglected her needs and well being. They constantly left her out the loop about everything even the shit that put her in danger. And when she was nearly killed because of something that her friends did, she never got an apology from them. Yeah, there were times when they were there for Caroline(like one time from what I can remember), but not as much.

And it pisses me off when people say that she shouldn’t be with Klaus and that she should have remained loyal to Tyler/wouldn’t be fair to Tyler. Bro, what? Did y’all ever keep this same energy when it came to Caroline’s needs? When Tyler walked out that door for some botched revenge attempt against a man who is literally hard to kill? Did y’all think about how devastated Caroline would have been had he actually succeeded in his plan and ended up dying at the hands of one of Klaus’s siblings? Did y’all think about how worried Caroline was for Tyler’s safety and when she spent the entire summer waiting for him to come back only to receive a pat on the back for a good fuck BEFORE even having a serious conversation with her on where their relationship stands and in the end, Caroline received a “fuck you” to the face when he told her he was leaving. Yes, Tyler had the right to revenge. That’s understandable. It’s just the way that he was acting towards the girl who stood by his side through everything. Everybody that Caroline loves just leaves or either dies. Stefan, Tyler, Matt, her dad, Liz, even Klaus was forced to leave because he had a child with Hayley. 🤮

And as for saying that Caroline was a shitty girlfriend the entire relationship, I really need y’all to stop acting like Tyler was the only one who did something for Caroline when they were in a relationship just because he went and broke the sire bond, she did much for him even before they were in a relationship. SHE spent weeks helping him prepare for his transition and put herself at risk just to help him when she easily could have let him go at it alone. When asked to play the fake break up and distract Klaus so that he could help unsire the hybrids, SHE did so. When Tyler was in the Apple Mountains 😂 breaking his bones, SHE remained loyal to him and waited months for him to come back. How about when she begged Klaus to let him live? Should we mention how she waited for him to come back in season five when he was helping out a wolf pack? Should we also mention how she went against Klaus and nearly got killed for it? And even after she helped him with his transition he still stabbed her in back and sold her out to Jules and Brady.

Are you telling me that Caroline should spend the rest of her IMMORTAL life remaining loyal to a guy she dated in high school? The fuck? 🙄 Tyler lost any right to Caroline’s loyalty the minute they broke up. She was no longer his caretaker, his girlfriend. She’s not his mother, sister, cousin even his friend. She’s not responsible for him. Tyler is his own person and he has his own trauma that he has to confront. Not her. Their entire relationship was her taking care of him and always waiting around for him. Like, what the fuck? Y’all don’t keep the same energy when Elena who is Tyler’s friend started dating Damon and when Bonnie(who is also Tyler’s friend) became friends with Damon, also known as the jackass who murdered his Uncle Mason. Huh? Where’s the outrage for that?

Why should Caroline remain loyal to him when she owes him no loyalty, that’s not fair to Caroline herself. Why should she keep denying herself happiness because of some shit that Klaus chose to do? That’s on him. Nobody gave a damn about how Caroline felt about the Damon situation. How she felt about Damon becoming besties with her mother. How she felt about Damon becoming her brother in law which makes no sense. Why in hell would Caroline want to be related to her rapist? Damon doesn’t give a fuck about Caroline’s well being, he only cared about Liz. And the fact that Damon was the one to speak at Liz’s funeral makes me sick.

Caroline needs to be selfish and put herself above others. Like in this Drabble I read like two weeks ago.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Whoever wrote this understood the assignment. Plain and simple. This is how you bring justice back to Caroline as a person, but also as a character. She finally accepted that she is a vampire. And that she could no longer live in Mystic Falls, be in a relationship with Stefan after the many times Stefan proved to Caroline that he would never do right by her. I’ve been looking for a Klaroline fic where Klaus gives Caroline a reality check. She said to him that she’s “building a life for herself.” But in season six, she dropped out of college, and continued to remain in Mystic Falls to be the friend groups support when it was obvious that nobody was even paying any attention to her. Or giving her props for sticking around to be everyone emotional support.

Elena was too busy compelling away her feelings for Damon, Stefan was too busy being a dick(yes, I understand that he was grieving), ignoring her calls, and wouldn’t even pick up the phone to say that he was alright. I understand that she wanted to be there for her friends and to mourn Bonnie properly and to spend as much time with Liz, but there should have been a time where Caroline should have prioritized herself and her own needs.

Starting with her marrying Stefan. I’m honestly surprised she even accepted his proposal considering the way he treated her when they were in a relationship. Stefan made her a second choice to his brother and his ex multiples times, and even when they became husband and wife, he still could not put her happiness above Damon’s and Elena’s. And now, Stefan is dead and she has to pay the price for his stupidity.

I’m not trying to downplay Caroline’s grief, but at some point… we all have to agree that Caroline marrying Stefan was a huge mistake on her part. The failure of their relationship isn’t entirely Stefan’s fault even though it ended because of him. Caroline is not entirely guiltless.

Caroline had all the necessary means to leave the relationship, but chooses not to despite how Stefan treated her and never prioritized her needs the others around him. And after all the progress she made as a character(the writers fault), she has never left this mentality of choosing the ideal man (meaning Stefan because of the type of boyfriend that he was to Elena) just because he’s the safest option. Not because he treats her right(he doesn’t). Basically, she settled for Stefan. Let’s not forget that she believes that Stefan is the good guy when he’s clearly not. He’s a ripper and Caroline barely even acknowledges that. She never brings it up. She never holds it against him, and the fact that Stefan has murdered an entire village, possibly children. That’s not how you love someone. You love someone despite their flaws. Honestly, I just believe that they were each other safe choices. Stefan was with Caroline because she reinforces this idea of who Stefan believes he is(basically they’re both delusional), and Caroline settled for Stefan because she felt like he would fit best in her “human life.” To be honest with you, I never believed that they had any real feelings for each other. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sorry not sorry.

I kid you not. I was scrolling through the Klaroline fics on ao3 and I saw a Steroline fic that said that Caroline wasn’t enough for Klaus, and that Caroline was enough for Stefan. And the thing was named “second best.”

I never cringed so hard in my entire life. Cause, like… we both know that’s not true. I’m not even going to get into that argument because that’s just… no.

Back to what I was originally saying, Caroline should have prioritized her own needs above everyone else’s and got the fuck out of that town. She spent so much time, putting so much effort into these friendships and receiving nothing in return. Not even a thank you. And as for her being with Klaus, yeah. It’s not fair that she should be told by the fandom to continuously downplay her feelings for Klaus for the people around her when they’ve never done the same for her. And if Caroline dares to do anything selfish, then she’s called a raging backstabber. She needed to grow some balls for once and stop putting her worth on people who don’t deserve it. And as for Caroline being a hypocrite, thats a good thing, it means that she actually changed and was starting to see things differently. I was hoping that Caroline would come to the conclusion that she is not limited to one town. She is a vampire and cannot stay in Mystic Falls forever. Her mother is human is eventually going to pass. I can only imagine what her life would have been like had she allowed herself to be happy with Klaus. I mean… was Klaus wrong though?
