hello hello tags ! it's been a long time coming but consider this an interest check for a tvd group based on the following plot:
The town has buried witches beneath its foundations, watched vampires rise from the dead, and convinced itself that every darkness eventually fades. But some evils don't disappear. Some simply wait. For months, whispers have spread through Mystic Falls about a family of vampires older than anything the town has ever faced. A family whose name is spoken only in warnings. A family that even the oldest vampires refuse to challenge. Elijah Mikaelson arrived in Mystic Falls first. Unlike the stories told about his family, Elijah did not come with an army. He did not come seeking bloodshed or destruction. He came with a warning. A warning about his younger brother. The man who cannot be killed. The man who has spent a thousand years destroying anything and anyone that threatens him. The man whose ambition has left entire cities in ruins. Elijah tells Mystic Falls the truth he believes they need to know: Klaus is coming. The vampires who have ruled the shadows will become prey. The witches who have protected their secrets will become targets. The humans who believe Mystic Falls is just another small town will learn they have been living on top of a battlefield for centuries. But Elijah leaves out one crucial detail. Mikael is alive. The vampire who hunted his own children for centuries. The father who turned love into fear and created the monsters the world now knows as the Original vampires. The family believed him dead. They believed he had been defeated. Imprisoned. Forgotten. They were wrong. Mikael has been awake for years. And while his children ran from their past, he prepared for their future. He has spent decades gathering allies; vampires who survived the Mikaelson family's reign of terror, witches who have lost everything because of their magic, hunters who believe the Originals are an abomination that must be erased from existence. Mikael isn't coming to Mystic Falls to kill Klaus. He's coming to erase the entire Mikaelson bloodline. Forever. But Mystic Falls doesn't know the truth. Not yet. All they know is that Elijah Mikaelson has arrived and that his presence changes the balance of power overnight. The Salvatores are forced to question whether an Original vampire can truly be trusted. The Bennett witches discover ancient magic connected to the Mikaelsons that was buried long before Mystic Falls existed. The town's vampires are faced with a terrifying choice: Stand with Elijah and prepare for Klaus... or prepare for war against an entire family of immortals. Because when Klaus finally steps into Mystic Falls, everyone expects him to be the greatest threat. They don't realize Klaus is running from something worse. Something older. Something that made even the Original vampires afraid.
summary: a new take on the arrival of the Mikaelson family and what unfolded from season 2 onward. ocs would be allowed, characters from later seasons could be people that Mikael recruited to help eviscerate his family.
