Being gifted a Red Notice by the InterPol after stealing a piece of rock worth more than 300 million dollars wasn’t exactly the anniversary gift they hoped for, until they decided it was.
OR
In which Klaus and Caroline commit, what is now widely being referred to as The Crime of the Century, by pulling off the most stunningly complicated heist in criminal history in a bid to lift the priceless Moonstone, an invaluable artifact from the Early Norse civilization that is now in the possession of the two most prolific thieves of the 21st century.
When the trail of clues they deliberately left behind, in hopes of future entertainment from the InterPol is discovered on the eve of their fifth wedding anniversary, they are both, needless to say, notably irked at the prospect of starting their game of cat and mouse ahead of schedule.
Weathering numerous grumbling comments and just as many strongly worded complaints from his grumpy wife and not to mention many many placating kisses later, Klaus convinces his partner in crime and in marriage that this minor change in schedule is but a slight inconvenience that can be resolved with a single jet ride to their private island off the coast of the Caribbean— Their own little piece of paradise where they will not only spend their days and nights celebrating the anniversary of their union, undisturbed and undetected, but also have plenty of time to decide precisely how revenge must be exacted for this audacious little disruption from their friends at the InterPol.
Caroline, even before she fastens her seat belt on their jet, already has a very specific painting in mind. It’s perfect for their next Mark. She’ll be sure to let Enzo know that they will be heading to Russia next, as soon as their celebrations in the Caribbean are over.
After all, there’s a painting at the Hermitage with the name Mr. and Mrs. Forbes on it.
Shout-out to all multilingual fanfic writers who put a lot of effort in writing in their second or third language.
Shout-out to all multilingual fanfic readers who leave a comment in a language that is not their first. These are my all time favourites. Never apologize for lacking the grammar to leave a perfect comment. The effort you make to read and then write something just to let me know how my story made you feel is the most heart-warming feeling a writer can get.
This is so important. I am so profoundly touched when I find comments in another language. I always rush on over to google translate to see what you wrote (not very accurate, but it gives me the idea) and always try to respond with a thank you in the language used. So thank you so much.
The multilingual fanfic writers are another breed altogether, and I have no idea how you manage to write so beautifully, as I myself am absolute shit with languages, never did pick it up well in school. YOU ARE ALL SO TALENTED AND AMAZING LIKE HOW???
@klarolinepositivity I also want to take some time to thank @enniec123 especially, for being such a cheerleader of my works. Ennie, in this fandom it is the greatest compliment to receive one of your magnificent comments, commentating your reactions as you read. And not only have you graced me with such a comment once, but continue to do so, again and again, not just on every update of The Big Bad Wolf, but on my other fics as well. You are such a treasured member of this community, and I just wanted to take some time to directly thank you.
Here’s a collection of some of my favourite moments in your various comments, and I’ll also offer you a blank check full of my eternal gratitude - I couldn’t decide on what gift to give you, so you pick, whether that be an edit for one of your fics, outtakes from tbbw or a perhaps a drabble request or something, the choice is yours. So truly, thank you so much ennie, for being such a bright presence in this fandom. You make me laugh, you make me cry, and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without you ✨❤️✨
Klaroline Fic Rec 2020 (Day 1 - Canon-ish) : She Deserves Better by CrazyGirl92
@klaroline-events
Summary: Everyone Caroline has ever known is gone, her life has not gone the way she expected at all. What happens when she is attacked on the full moon? What happens if she finds herself back into her past. What will she do with this unexpected chance? How did it happen? Will she make the same choices? Were those even the right ones? Will Caroline wake up and realize just how much better she deserved. And just what will happen when she does?
Warnings: Smut
Status: Incomplete (30/?)
Why you should read it:
Time travel fics are some of my all-time favourites, this one is no exception. This recently popped up on my radar as it’s a relatively new story and wayyyy too underrated in my opinion.
The premise of the story centres around Caroline travelling back to the past (2010; i.e. TVD 3x11) but uses the knowledge that she has in the future to change the course of history. That, of course, means that there’s no H*pe, which is a bonus.
And whilst it’s incomplete, I do think it has huge potential!
And finally, before I dig up too many fan fictions for fanfiction day of @klarolinepositivity, I must bring up the brilliance that is this masterpiece. This is the single best time travel fic I have ever read. Single, best! It is incredible!
And I will also add in The Domino Effect also by CrazyGirl92 because it is also one of the single greatest Klaroline fic’s I have ever read.
@klarolinepositivity this is a short fic made by the wonderful @sunshineandfangs a few years ago now, but I stumbled upon her stuff in the early days of reading Klaroline and devoured everything she had. Ghost is absolutely amazing, and she continued it with Help me, please! later in her klaroween collection. It’s short, it’s spooky, and filled with good ole revenge - a few of my favourite things. It has to be one of my favourite two-shots, no doubt.
Everything I’ve read of hers is really good, and even though a few of her multichaps remain incomplete, she has some beautiful collections that you should go and read right this second. Truly an amazing author.
Finally got around to posting a few things on AO3. I’ll probably add my drabbles there as well at some point. But I think for now, I’ve added all the longer one-shots!
Scry Me Runes of Fire
Drown Me in Ash, Burn Me in Salt
No Rest for the Wicked
Jar of Hearts
Flashing Lights
(at @cbk1000 who has poked me once or twice about putting things on AO3.)
She figured there were two explanations. Either Caroline was dead, or she was seriously high.
Caroline had never really thought about heaven (or if she was really qualified for admittance) but why wouldn’t it be filled with nude men with spectacular abs? And if she was high, well, then she didn’t have to feel weird about ogling the imaginary guy’s package, did she?
I was honored to be nominated for four (4!!!!) KC awards, which is such a nice welcome to a fandom.
Mikaelson Family Values - nominated for Best Human AU One-Shot
“Hi, Mrs. Mikaelson,” Elena greeted them, “and this must be your family.” She stepped off the porch and reached forward to shake the woman’s hand.
Which had the biggest rock that Elena had ever seen outside of a museum. The engagement ring was the setting for a solitaire, emerald cut diamond that was almost comically large. She would have been inclined to think it costume jewelry, but the gold band didn’t have any further embellishments and the wedding band was also plain. The style was elegant and simple; it just happened to be enormous.
“Call me Caroline, please,” the woman gushed, looking over her should and smiling almost impossibly wider. “This is Klaus, my husband,” the man nodded gravely at Elena, “and this little guy,” she said of the child, who was dressed like he’d walked out of a Charles Dickens novel, “is Edgar, our son.”
The child pulled his fist from his mouth and waved it, a thread of saliva still clinging to his lips. Elena forced her smile to stay on even as she leaned out of range. “Pleasure,” she intoned simply, wondering how large of a down payment they’d be able to cover.
The Stubborn Grace of Being Loved Regardless - nominated for Best Angst One-Shot
Caroline can’t believe she was stupid enough to knowingly give a vampire an open invitation into somewhere she’d just started to feel safe in again. Not just any vampire, but an Original vampire. Or the Original Hybrid, whatever strokes Klaus’s ego better.
That’s all she’d been to him, clearly. Just to prove to himself that he could get what he wanted without needed to use compulsion. A challenge, to engage the high school girl with her vervain plant and scars to the point where she’d feel comfortable letting him inside.
Literally, that is.
Only she hadn’t just let him in literally. Caroline had felt remarkable with him, standing outside of the Mikaelson mansion and feeding a horse sugar cubes. He kissed her, and she felt whole.
She’s just a girl. Just a stupid girl who thought she was special, who was insecure enough to want someone who wanted her, and it’s funny how these kinds of things start as one-offs and turn into cycles. She looks into the mirror and sees bags under her eyes from the lack of sleep, and she thinks to herself that no one could ever fool themselves into believing she was strong, beautiful, or full of life. Just another lie that she’d been all too eager to buy into.
Game On - nominated for Best Comedy One-Shot
“I,” Caroline reiterates, “am a delight.”
She’s been the picture of perfection. Dainty, lighthearted banter accompanying curiosity about his interests, plus she’d made a show out of letting him fight her for the right to pay the check. The fact that Klaus did equally well in his role stings, but it also made the experience even better.
Klaus leans onto the wall next to her doorframe. “It was a good date,” he admits, and Caroline is triumphant for a short moment before his words sink in.
“Good?” The word is laced with disdain, because is he kidding? She stomached mint ice cream that the place didn’t even have the decency to add chocolate chips into. “And what,” she asks at last with narrowed eyes, “kept it from being great?”
I was also nominated for Best AU Supernatural Author! You can see the other nominated works and vote over at the 2021 KC Awards.
Thanks for the support, everyone! The greatest thing for me about joining this fandom is getting to know and bounce ideas off of some truly talented people.
Reblogging for @klarolinepositivity Recently discovered @helpless-in-sleep writing and it was so great to uncover a whole treasure trove of amazing stories such as the ones above. Love the humorous and fun ones, and the poignant and emotional ones too.
The season is in full swing, a parade of pomp and circumstance that has me questioning the point of it all. Such rules that must be followed. Decorum that must be upheld. How little contact between members of the opposite sex so scrutinized. Couples may not share more than one dance without the news of an engagement on the horizon. Then sharing the supper set at that, imagine the scandal if such things were to occur.
It makes me question how the season is nothing more than a marriage market and yet couples have no real opportunity to know one another before heading down the aisle. How is a gentleman supposed to get to know the lady when she is constantly chaperoned by another? How is a lady meant to know if she truly desired a suitor when she had no real option of refusal?
The season is nothing more than a burning heat of misery. Rules must be followed and obeyed to avoid being scorned. Yet a lady's actions could be pristine and perfect, with no blemish but if a sister or acquaintance stepped out of line, she could forever be ruined. It is little to no wonder why society is filled with nothing but empty misery masquerading at the height of fashion.
Show me real desire and I would forever choose to be an outcast among the beautiful.
Loving this story! It’s terribly romantic, and the Klaus POV is really unique and interesting, especially in a period piece, and amazingly well done. Blown away by the depth of Klaus’s feelings and the growth of their connection in the latest update. The gentle and heartfelt courtship was very moving in the strength of their feelings for each other, and in keeping with the times and genre, the meaning behind each small touch, fantastic dialogue, a removed glove, was all amazing well done and captivatingly romantic. Love the use of the side characters and their development, with all their emotions also coming through very strongly with Kol’s mischief and vulnerability, Elijah out of control and raging, Bonnie’s strength and concern, but especially loving Klaus totally head over heels in love and all the thoughts running through his mind in the outstanding POV. I like how Caroline’s feelings are shown through Klaus’s observations, but not ALL her feelings and secrets so she’s a bit of a mystery too that we’re getting to know as Klaus does, and I like how Klaus is aware that he is being vulnerable by trusting her and it is a risk, but that he just doesn’t care because he just wants his life to be with her.
Reblogging for @klarolinepositivity @bellemorte180 writes many fabulous things in many genres, and they’re all awesome and totally captivating. I love the unleashed imagination and all the creativity, and heart. Obviously loved the above and other favorites are Caroline in Wonderful, O’Holy Night and Veil of Prophecy.

The first part of Alien!Klaus (aka: Shoot the Stars) has been posted to AO3! It’s long af, so thanks to @childoftimeandmagic and for being the absolute best and reading it over before I posted.
You can check out a sneak peek below the cut, and then read the full thing at the link!
Reblogging for @klarolinepositivity week. Of course we all love Alien!Klaus, A LOT. Like a really lot. But everything @lynyrdwrites writes is totally amazing and has such a whimsical and fantastic comedy element and creativity that it’s always the best adventure.
Thank you. In regards to @klarolinepositivity, I want you to know that today honestly is the most important. Yes, us content makers are a big part of this community but we would be nothing without you because you are what keeps this fandom alive. It is you that keeps us writing, creating and bringing content to this fandom. It is your positive encouragement and kind words that make creating in this fandom (or any fandom) worthwhile because without you, there would be no point in creating at all.
Yes, we may create because it is something we enjoy but we post because we want others to enjoy what we make. We also want to hear your thoughts and feelings our creations evoked. Whether it be happiness or sadness, we want to hear your positive feedback because it will keep us going. It will keep us creating.
I know that sometimes it may seem daunting to reach out to a writer or a graphic maker, fearful that they will be annoyed or that you’re wasting their time but trust me, you’re not. Even if we do not respond to every comment, we see them.
You are the reason why we create.
Because without you, there would be no fandom for anyone to find solace in.
You’re what keeps it alive.
Now, I want to thank some very special people who have given me the nudge to keep on writing.
@delightfullysunny: You read, reblog and review almost everything I write. I find that when I post, I am excited to see what you think. I cannot wait to read the review you leave me, giving me that urge to keep on writing. Some days are bad days but it's kind words like yours that mean the most. When my motivation is low or I have doubt in my writing skills, I go back to some of the things you’ve said and it reminds me of why I love to write. Your words have been noticed and appreciated, so thank you.
@1jemmagirl22: Jemma, you sweetheart. I see those reblogs. I see those reviews. I do. You are beyond kind and wonderful. Your reviews on A03 are always so positive and sweet. As a writer yourself, you know how intimidating it can be to post something, anxiously waiting for feedback so to see you reviewing and promoting me, is something that I not only admire but am thankful for. Your thoughtfulness and standing support is not only appreciated but utterly tear jerking (in the best way).
@enniec123: Everyone knows you and we all love you. You are our constant cheerleader. Bringing smiles to us all and cheering us on from the sidelines. You are always there to bring a smile to our face and squeal about the things you love. Hearing you rave over and over about something you’ve read or a graphic you loved is intoxicating. You breathe life into this fandom with the simple fact that you do not hold back your encouragement. There has been more than once that I thought of you, how something I would write (JAF) would make you smile and it kept me coming back to it.
@diaz-eddie and @recyclingss: I’m putting the two of you together because I have one very specific memory that means the world to me and it's because of the two of you. There was a night that we were in the old server and you were raving about Ballad of the Sea. That series is very near and dear to me and to hear both of you talk about how much you loved it, means the world to me. Both of you show appreciation for the writers you love and still do, that memory will always stay with me specifically. It was honestly that conversation that had me going on to writing the prequel and the sequel…and will have me writing the final part this year. Without that encouragement, Ballad of the Sea would have been a standalone one-shot. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being probably two of the biggest cheerleaders in the fandom.
@carolineforbae: Girl, you’ve been with me since day one. Back when you got first dibs on Demonology to your comment bombs, you are someone to be cherish. I know we have not talked as often as we used to, because of real life being the way it is, but I always think of you and remember how you kept me going during my early days in the fandom. It was your constant friendship and encouragement that made me
@destellolunar: I remember having this really shitty day. Like just a super bad day and I was talking with you. It was around the time I was working on developing Echoes of Sorrow and you made me that graphic, the one I still use today, simply to make my day better. That graphic made me cry, because it made my day so much better. I know that I’ve praised you twice already this week but it just shows that you’re too amazing for this fandom. Seriously, creating content, co-running the library? You really are bringing this fandom together in the best way possible. Keep being that amazing and wonderful person you are. You deserve all the good things in life.
@klavscaroline: Three words. Wanderlust betting pool. We did not know each other when you came to me with the idea for that betting pool and I will be forever thankful that you did. I was still so new to the fandom and to hear that my fic had captivated you to the point of wanting to create something that would engage the readers more than I ever could have. While Wanderlust will always be my baby, it was you who made it an event. It was you who brought so many people into this fandom and if it wasn’t for that collaboration, I honestly do not know if I would have kept writing.
And to everyone who leaves a review, whether it be for me or someone else,
@labime I did adore this recent fic exchange fic about Klaroline meeting through time travel and growing up together while living parallel lives in their own times, but just unable to let go of the other and always drawn back. I loved how they are totally themselves and know each other completely, with all their good qualities and faults, making the fated and secret meetings and relationship possible in the first place, how they cling to it and can’t let the other go even though they are separated by a thousand years. I loved how they are so IC as themselves through all the stages of their lives, and it was awesome to see how that played out between them as they go through the experiences of their own timelines. It was striking how much they both crave the feeling of how they are wanted and accepted completely by the other, and to be chosen above everyone else. Which is something they know they can only get from the other. The appearance in the background of modern Klaus as we know him and the scenes with the Caroline we know totally blew me away and were outstanding. The writing was all beautiful and melodic. Anyway, totally loved the fic.

Organization for Transformative Works
This project was a long time coming, and an even longer time going, but it’s finally done! Many, many thanks to you for reading and sticking with me over the years, and I hope you enjoyed the story. I welcome any and all questions I may have left unanswered, and please let me know what you think!
Reblogging for @klarolinepositivity week because @honestgrins always writes the most endearing and happy things and is super talented, such as this fantastic you’ve got mail retelling. Also enjoy when you take a walk on the dark side and go a little angstier like with Burned as well!
@klarolinepositivity is such a lovely idea and gives me the opportunity to thank pretty much everyone who reblogs/reads my work. i get kinda shy about messaging people directly (idk why i’m not even that shy) but it always means the world to know people enjoy what you write!
the biggest of thank you’s to @recyclingss and @diaz-eddie - cannot explain how helpful they’ve both been, whether they know it or not, in boosting my confidence. i often feel kinda bad for how often i have to dip out of the klaroline fandom but they’ve both always made me feel so welcome and supported my writing. i appreciate it so so so much & they’re always the two people I’m most excited to see reactions from! (and both also give great fic recommendations) ❤❤❤
its also really cool to hear that other writers who’s work i admire have enjoyed my writing and I really appreciate that. any time I see that @kiaraalexisklay or @galvanizedfriend liked what I wrote i get a massive confidence boost haha so thank you.
the people who are very vocal about what fics they love are inspiring me to do the same cause its always lovely to hear that people liked your writing, so i promise to do that more in future <3
and to anyone (literally anyone) who leaves a comment on here or ao3 - THANK YOU. those comments that go through and quote bits that made them laugh/cry/squeal make my whole entire week & i adore them.
i’m feeling all mushy and grateful for how kind this fandom has been to me so yeah thank you you’re all the greatest <3!!!!
Bonus: R_Joseph: “OMG PUPPY KLAUS ASDFGHJKL IM DEAD”
@klarolinepositivity This is a tribute to all my readers of The Big Bad Wolf and my many other fics for reviewer/reblogger appreciation day.
Dear readers, you are awesome. You are beautiful human beings that I love and adore immensely. I treasure your comments, kudos and support so, so much and I absolutely wish you all the best in your lives, your aspirations and careers. I was only able to feature a few comments and readers in this edit, so here’s my special thanks to those I’ve missed.
On tumblr, @purplesigebert @heatherstyles @enniec123 for their continued support, @frogs-are-bitchs for brightening my day with several memes she made for tbbw that were absolutely hilarious, and her continued reviews. @helpless-in-sleep for offering some kind praise as they slowly make their way through this monster, and @certifiedceraunophile for screaming in my ao3 inbox when they read tbbw’s prequel, The Little Wolf. @destellolunar for being one of my first commenters ever, something I am immensely grateful for to this day. @bellemorte180 for continuing to read my massive 15k chapters before I post, and for making the story its first edit way back last year that I certainly screamed over. And thank you @jen27ny for leaving a heart-shattering comment that brightened my morning recently, you have no idea how much it meant to me at the time.
On ao3, a big thank you to emi_mikaelson, MissPugLover24, Krstnfrcn0, Ferps and many other loyal readers I’m probably forgetting about who come back and review with each update. Thank you especially to amandamonroe, another loyal reader, who always leaves a comment, even when they go a back and reread, not necessarily when a new chapter comes out. They also once described Esther and Lycaon as “the Viking version of ‘the rich good girl who’s actually awful’ and ‘bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a heart of gold’” which is so fucking perfect I can’t. Thank you to whoseoks, Kibo_Ichiro and many others who left giant comments that made me cry a little, and so many more readers whose smaller comments left just as much as an impact.
All of you are A M A Z I N G. Don’t you damn well forget that.
When @klarolinepositivity week was announced, I had plans. To which I changed and scrapped last minute because it didn't feel good enough. So, I intended to bomb as many people as possible with love. However, this week hit and it was a less than stellar one. I didn't have much time to reblog as many people as I wanted for the first two days and had intended to make more graphics to highlight fan fiction writers that I love and adore.
I had picked out several fics/authors to highlight but I only managed to make three. So below is a fic rec list for the other authors I picked and hopefully if I am feeling up to it, I can work on those graphics.
Are you even real? by @helpfulfairy
Waking up on the forest floor was not a new turn of events for Klaus.
He lay there, eyes closed, feeling the sunlight dance across his skin, the breeze blowing through his hair. He sighed, he hadn’t felt this relaxed ever, and it was a delightful feeling.
In his relaxation, his mind is drifting when he sees a woman.
Or the P&P au that we all deserved
Jessie, I hope you are doing well. I want you to know that I very much enjoy your writing and pure existence. You are the sweetest person who deserves the BEST things in life. This fic is a vampire Pride and Prejudice that consumes my soul. It is a beautiful work of art for being only two chapters in and I cannot wait to see where you take it.
Not All Guns and Roses by @recklessnesspersonified
A marriage of convenience among two rivals and friends with benefits. Will it end in roses or would it go up in flames. Mafia Au with arranged marriage. A little angst with a happy ending.
When I say this fic is perfection, I mean literal perfection. Mafia rivals and a badass Caroline is honestly beyond wonderful. This fic deserves all the love and so do you. I wavered between this fic and Forbidden because I love myself some Viking Klaus but I landed on this one because of you wrote Caroline. She is the perfect mafia Caroline that I want to see in my fics- ruthless. I'm completely honest when I say that I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Into Eternity by @morningstargirl666
One day, she shows up at his door, and despite her better judgement, Caroline Forbes starts a relationship with Klaus Mikaelson.
It’s not as easy as she thinks. But then she never asked for easy.
She asked for Klaus.
And she wouldn’t change a single thing.
First off, you made me cry today. Second, you really are a treasure. This is one of my favorite fics and you captured the "what could of been" so wonderfully. I know you have your big project in The Big Bad Wolf but I am curious as to what else you will grace this fandom with.
Stranger Things (Have Happened) by @princess-of-the-worlds
Detective Will Kinney is determined to expose Klaus Mikaelson as a mob boss by kidnapping his wife Caroline. Kinney just did not see this surprise coming.
It has been WEEKS since I've read this fic and it STILL has me chuckling. Like SERIOUSLY. Klaus getting that call about his wife being kidnapped and he is like "good luck with that" and hangs up is just hilarious.
I love a self-sufficient Caroline.
This fic has made me deep dive and binge a few of your Klaroline fics (also, scrolling past all the Torchwood has me curious) and while I LOVE them all, this one will always be my favorite. Please, keep writing for us.
The Witch Queen @galvanizedfriend
Caroline always knew she was different. She was keyed into her own otherness very early on. Strange things happened around the Forbes women. Her mother never really had to spell it out to her, give it a name. Caroline could always sort of feel it, and then at some point the feeling blossomed into comprehension, and comprehension hardened into fact. And with that came an altogether different kind of certainty: this was not a secret she'd be able to keep forever. One day, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, everyone would find out. And when they did, they would come for her.
Okay, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to highlight this or The Sound of Settling because I love them both (top two fav fics you've written) but chose this because I think more people need to know about it. You are a fantastic writer and such a sweet person. I really enjoy chatting with you and while I know you're busy at the moment with work and may not even see this, just know that I appreciate everything you do for the fandom.
The Raven Hunter by @lynyrdwrites
There is a killer hunting frat boys on campus. The Raven Hunter is a terrible name... not that Caroline has a reason to care or anything.
Sigh, so originally I was going to highlight the fic you wrote me (which I absolutely adore and have read more times than I should admit) but I came back to this one. This is a comfort fic of mine. It is one that I come to when I need something familiar and happy to come home to and the idea of serial killer Caroline is just up my alley.
I've read so many of your fics that I cannot get over them. Please please please keep blessing us with your writing.
Hallowed Ground by @kirythestitchwitch
Caroline's trip to Ireland was not going the way it was supposed to. She was expecting stories and myths, and instead finds that some legends are a lot more real than she could have imagined. And hot. Really hot.
I had NO IDEA what fic I was picking for you. Why? Because I love them all. I picked this one because I cannot get the idea of Caroline killing Damon in a church out of my mind. Perfection I tell you.
Now, I must praise your writing in general. Honestly, Kiry you are a gift. You're talented and a beautiful person inside and out and this fandom is SO lucky to have you.
burn your kingdom down @definedareasofuncertainty
When Caroline Forbes, the Wardeness of the North, decides to start a war against the King of the Seven Kingdoms, she finds an unlikely ally in the rightful heir to the throne.
I was torn between this fic and like a wedding dress needs dirt but my love for Game of Thrones won. This fic is STEAMING with passion, lust, and everyting I want in my fanfiction. Honestly, this is beautiful. The writing, as is everything you write, is spectacular. The yearing between them that they honestly did not want to admit to is just...perfect. Temporary ally my ass. While I suck at leaving my comments (I NEED to be better) I have to admit that you are honestly a fantastic writer and I have read almost all of your fics, and have loved everyone of them.
Acrimonious Accompaniment @supremeuppityone
This is a historical Regency human AU. It’s the day after Klaus and Caroline’s arranged marriage — and it’s just as uncomfortable as it is unconsummated. Or, how 2 stubborn people + misunderstandings = sexytimes.
Almost like everyone on this list, I pondered what fic I wanted to highlight. In the end, I went to my love of historical fics and chose the one you wrote for me. This is just beautiful with the PINING and miscommunication between Klaus and Caroline. You're writing has a light and humorous feel that brings me happiness to come back to when I need a pick-me-up.
This goes without saying but keep writing and bringing us all joy. (Also, your graphics are A+)
teeth in the grass by @little-miss-sunny-daisy
"Doors opening and shutting, footsteps in the hallway with no one around, things disappearing and reappearing around the house. That kind of thing.”
or: Caroline Forbes inherits her great-grandmother's house.
a southern gothic AU
Don't mind me. Just me sitting on pins and needles, waiting for this fic to grace my screen again. I yearn for this Kelly, but alas, you know this. As a pocket friend, I must say that not only do I enjoy your writing, but am so happy for you in every aspect of what is going on in your life. While I cannot wait for more of this fic (and from you in general) my eagerness to find out what haunts Caroline's home can wait.
A Union of Changes by @withyouandthemoon
To end a ten-year war between her coven and the vampires, Caroline had to marry the Original Hybrid Klaus in order to seal a deal of truce. With wedding preparations on the surface and wicked shenanigans brewing underneath, it was a life-changing time for the small-town witch. On top of it all, she had to deal with the unbidden charms of her top enemy, as well as her own unexpected attraction towards him. When dangerous schemes involving arrows and spells followed the wedding bells, what would become of the newlyweds?
GIRL, this WORLD BUILDING is god-tear. Like really, you built an entire fucking Harry Potter-esc type work and delivered some of the best smut I've ever read. Like holy shit. My never ending screaming over this will not end because I just want MORE. I will take this with greedy hands and run HAPPILY into the gates of hell. Please note that ALL of that is a compliment.
Cafune by @destellolunar
The hunter's curse has taken over. The hallucinations become more and more prominent as Klaus wonders if the girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes is real or if he has already completely lost his mind.
Or, Klaus finally finds his soulmate after centuries.
Oh Sabrina, I know that I praised you yesterday for your graphic making abilities but I would be missing a massive opportunity to show case this beauty. You have a gift for words and I whole heartily mean that. If you ever feel the need to have someone cheer you up, come knock on my door because you are so talented in more ways than one that I will be more than happy to sing your praises, over and over.
All I Need by @euvixen
In which I vaguely follow TVD canon and write the soulmate/werewolf mating AU which absolutely no one asked for.
OR
The one in which Klaus finds his soulmate, gets bitten, hides his mating mark from her and waits for the day she'll let him give her one back. Fluffy, mildly angsty slow burn with possible super hot hybrid smut in later chapters.
Maddie, I do not know what is better, the sex or the lead up to the sex. Because HOLY SHIT this fic is hot. I did almost pick Could I Choose You but changed my mind and went with the first fic of course I've ever read. Honestly, you might be the best smut writer in the fandom and I love you for it. I still can't get over that you run Klarolinelookalikes.
Okay- so thats the end of my fic rec. I could have went on and on and on and on because there are so many people in this fandom that are beautiful and wonderful but I had to stop somewhere. When making this list, I had intended to grace all of you with beautiful graphics for your fics- but as you can see, that was ambitious and time was not on my side. Just know that I love all these fics and writers whole heartedly and I thank you ALL for being in this fandom.
Kait has such a beautiful vision of how edits and moodboards should tell a story and I’m so in love with her vision. She is making amazing art and I’m always in awe of how she can tell a whole story with just a few images and how she can sum up a personality of a character in images as well. It’s hard to choose a favourite edit because they’re all so beautiful and the storytelling always so so good, but this one holds a special place in my heart ❤️
