“Hey, it’s super interesting. Spells these witches have created can do incredible things,” she reasoned. “It’s like reading recipe books for super awesome meals you’ve never tried,” she said. “That is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s like, I don’t need it, but I really do need it.”

“don’t get me wrong, i definitely respect it and the witches who read it but i still think it’s pretty cool.” he shrugged, looking over towards lydia. “that’s a point i’ve never considered.” he shrugged after a minute and gave a nod. “exactly. so it’s best to fill the craving.” he said.

Scrunching up her face, she shuddered at the thought. “That would be…awful,” she admitted. The idea of being gawked at and talked about was literally one of her nightmares. “Not me,” she said with a shrug, a small smile playing at her lips. “When I’m not studying, I’m either reading,” she said, gesturing to the book in her arms. “Or asleep,” she added with a soft laugh. Evelyn was grateful to have Grayson look out for her. She knew herself she wasn’t the most outgoing person, and the few friends she did have she appreciated them gratefully for being willing to give her a chance. “Fun,” she said, her smile growing. “Although, surely there’s more than that. I mean, everyone has something going on after all,” she teased.

grayson looked at evelyn for a moment, she was always so quiet and reserved, he had always wanted to help with that. he saw so much potential in the young girl that he couldn’t help wanting to be there for her. he smiled towards her. “there’s nothing boring about reading, it’s one of my favorite activities as well.” shrugging, he leaned over on the table, to give her another look. “oh you’re going to use my own words against me, how dare you?” he teased back, shaking his head. “i’ve been just kind of looking for myself, i’ve felt a bit lost lately and i’m trying to find myself again.” he admitted.

“Now that is the correct answer,” Lizzie said with a nod of approval. Ticking something on her to-do-list, she eyed him out of the corner of her eye, before turning fully to face him. “Okay, so I know it totally goes against friend code to talk to you because you, like, totally crushed Hope’s heart into little pieces,” she said. “and even though I do consider you a friend, Hope totally trumps our bromance,” she said firmly. “But, since Hope isn’t here, and I’m fairly certain no one here is going to tell her I was canoodling with the enemy, I have to ask. How are you doing?”

“i know.” grayson chuckled, if he knew lizzie, he knew that complimenting her was always the correct answer. she had always been such a good friend to him but they hadn’t really talked at all since everything happened with hope. not that he could blame her, hope and lizzie had been friends for longer than he had been alive. they were basically sisters when it came down to it. “whatever happened, i never would have wanted to hurt hope like that but i’ve been working to figure out what happened.” he mentioned after a moment, he had never told lizzie that he didn’t do it. he figured nobody would believe him, especially when hope had somehow seen it with her own eyes and that confused him on his own. grayson couldn’t help but chuckle at her comments. “it’s been rough but i’ve mostly just thrown myself into work. how have you been doing, lizzie?”

“Red is always classic… who doesn’t love it?  I’m not sure I’d trust someone who didn’t have at least one red thing to wear.” 

“red has always been a favorite color of mine, so i would have to agree.” grayson chuckled as he looked towards natasha.

dangerousanna​:

“Yeah i was just… thinking about the day that it’s just you. Her dad isn’t immortal anymore, we are all going to start showing our age sooner or later,” she brushed off. “Look, Mikaelson’s are… complicated at best. I think you are better off just… find someone that will love you for you. And it seems like Hope isn’t… well she isn’t the one.”

“i guess i’ll have to start preparing when that day comes.” he didn’t know when that would be but he couldn’t help but wonder how he’s start to deal with it. “i know they’re complicated. hell, hope is extremely complicated but even eight months after we’ve broken up, i’m still in love with her, just as much as i was the entire time we were together. she’s special.” it hurt to be open but it was true, he was so connected to hope that he didn’t know how to move on at this point or if he even wanted to. 

[mrgraysongilbert]

mrsgoldilocks​:

“They can be deadly,” she said and Caroline stupid enough to think there wouldn’t be retaliation. “No, that’s not really my place to yell if Hope wanted to, she would do it. I’m just going to say that you should probably stay away from her, don’t hurt her anymore than you have.” 

“deadly and impressive.” grayson mused for a moment, he had always admired hope and her abilities. but beyond that, he had always been respectful of all species. “we’ve talked a bit and the two of us are trying to be friends. it has never and will never be my intention to hurt her. that’s the last thing i ever want.”

[mrgraysongilbert]

dangerousanna​:

“If we still have room in our stomach, we can look at that,” she chuckled. “Yes,” she said but it didn’t really met her eyes. After all if she took the cure than her son would be alone. “Well you did… you know break up with someone. Maybe you needed the distraction of just focusing on your work for a bit. That’s not bad.”

“i thought you’d like that idea.” he said. he raised a brow when it seemed that his mom was avoiding his gaze. “are you okay?” he questioned, concerned for her well being. grayson tensed up a little when she mentioned the breakup. “yeah, that’s been hard. maybe i’ve been looking for a distraction without even realizing it.” 

[mrgraysongilbert]

mrsgoldilocks​:

“Yes that is all over good reasons but also the fact that the witches that put the spell up are likely to… well kill people that try and bring the spell down. So it’s more about survival, you don’t know who around here is still in contact with them,” she said. “Well I feel pressured to be the responsible mayor and not yell at you,” she said back. “So i don’t think it’s going well overall.” 

“that’s another good point, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes down to it and i certainly understand that. i wouldn’t want to piss off any witches, beyond the fact i respect them, they can be scary when mad.” he chuckled and looked towards him. “if you feel the need to yell at me, go ahead.” he sighed, hope was somebody he loved with his entire heart and likely always would.

dangerousanna​:

“Not the right kind of sugar,” she chuckled. “But i am happy for different comfort food if you are up for it.” She nodded. “Well you only do have a long time to work out what you want to do. I have spoken to some dragons they live… well a very long time,” she said. “Effort is a two way street, honey. You can’t always be the one to push the relationship forward,” she said. After all that’s how it had felt at the end between them. That she had been the only one in the marriage. 

“we can always go to bittersweet confections after the cheese fries and get something more filled with sugar.” grayson mused. “i’ve heard that, at least i’ll have plenty of time to spend with my family.” at least the ones who were immortal. “i know but i probably haven’t put much effort in lately, so i should at least try to meet him half way.” he shrugged. “though i’d agree that he could make a little more effort as well.” that last comment was more about his past marriage to his mother but he wasn’t going to explicitly say that.

[mrgraysongilbert]

mrsgoldilocks​:

“I know, just seems a little crazy,” she said. “Though someone did question why we tell people to keep the votes to themselves, so completely even adults struggle with the idea.” Caroline nodded. “Right, and you are hoping i can put in a good word with Hope at the same time?”

“i definitely agree with you.” grayson raised a brow. “i don’t get why people are asking, i’m assuming it’s because you don’t want anybody to be influenced by the choices of others that maybe close to them or might try to change their vote.” he shrugged and shook his head. “not at all. i want to help out my community.” grayson paused. “i don’t ever want hope to feel like she’s pressured into anything, i just want her happy and whatever it takes for that to happen.”

“The amount of patience I have for people on this island surprises me.” Rebekah threw herself into a chair at a bar, throwing one leg over the other. “Honestly, the slightest tone or hint of disrespect, I’d have them swallowing their teeth. I suppose we should call walking away character development.” It’s been a long day, dealing with petty women who decided to start fights with their doting husbands over literally nothing in her five star restaurant, throwing plates of food as if it was a middle school food fight. “I need a drink, or two. Hell maybe even several.” @eternalstarter​

grayson wordlessly listened to hope’s aunt talking about how disrespectful people had been and her apparent growth at dealing with the situations. sitting inside the bar, he had been silently listening, waiting for her to finish so that he wasn’t interrupting her. “i can agree on needing a drink or three.” grayson let out a chuckle at he looked in the direction of the blonde.

Lizzie had given herself the day off, and she was in desperate need of it. Whilst she certainly had time to plan the wedding, there was a lot to get done, and considering Lizzie had been planning her dream wedding since she was six, everything had to be perfect. Entering the Purple Mermaid for a much needed break, the blonde clutched her to-do-list to her chest as she sat on the stool at the bar. “Do you know there are almost 500 shades of white?” she said to the person next to her. “White. How am I supposed to pick one?”

@eternalstarter

the hybrid was in desperate need of a drink, it had been a long day and he thought that a drink might take the edge off. upon walking inside, he noticed that lizzie was at the bar and he hadn’t really spoken with her much since everything had happened, at least not as much as he used to. he took a seat next to the blonde and ordered a scotch on the rocks. “i don’t know but you’ve always pulled off anything you’ve put on, so i think you’re safe. maybe focus more on cut or style and then worry about the color.”

livvyxpoo​:

sure she could’ve chosen to pick up one of the spots as a mechanic at the shop, but it had been easier to just stick with the receptionist job. it had been much less stressful for her to handle. after what had happened she had been lucky to even get a job again since bartending just hadn’t been her thing anymore. as she sat by some bench she scrolled through her phone and just sighed. sometimes it was nice to be able to relax. @eternalstarter​

grayson had been out and about for around an hour at this point, it was getting later and he figured it was about time for him to get home but it was a nice day and he didn’t want to waste it inside. he had come across a bench but noticed that somebody else was sitting there. cautiously he approached the bench. “mind if i have a seat?” not wanting to occupy the seat if she wasn’t interested in company.

harry salvatore –– open starter ( @eternalstarter​ )

“you’re staring.” harry stated softly as he picked up his whiskey, taking a sip before turning his head towards the person who’s eyes he’d felt burning holes into him. “did you want me to buy you a drink or is it something else?”

“i got lost in my own thoughts, i promise, i’m not staring.” grayson chuckled, giving his head a shake as he sat down next to the psychic. “i mean, i’m not going to say no to a drink if you’re offering.” 

[mrgraysongilbert]

lydiaxmikaelson​: 

“No, not this one,” Lydia said, shaking her head. “Not as far as I know, anyway,” she added. “I think I’ve read all the Mikaelson grimoires cover to cover a hundred times over,” she laughed. “It seems weird to be too, admittedly. I mean, I know I don’t need it, but that so doesn’t prevent my mouth from watering when I think of a double cheeseburger. Oh, and there’s the total plus of not gaining any weight from it.”

“that seems a little excessive but i don’t think i can be one to speak about it when i’m not even a witch to begin with.” he chuckled. gray leaned against the counter and rested his elbow ontop of it. “just because you don’t need it doesn’t mean it’s still not delicious.” he laughed. “i guess that would be a benefit.”

[mrgraysongilbert]

evelynxavery​:

“No, that would not be fun,” Evelyn agreed, blowing a stray hair away from her face. “Me? Oh, nothing really,” she said with a shrug. “Nothing ever really happens with me,” she added. Despite the fact that Evie was what she was, and being the daughter of an original vampire, she was still very much a regular, boring person. In fact, she didn’t think there was anything significant about herself besides the fact that she could grow a tail and do magic. Special, maybe, but she didn’t really view herself as such. “Uh, how about you?”

“though, even in this town, i’m sure it’d give a good story or two for the people around.” he shrugged, with the slightest smirk. “oh you sure? i mean, everybody has something going on.” grayson replied, looking towards one of the many students of cove college. he had interacted with her a few times outside of the college and he certainly wanted to look out for her, she seemed fragile and he didn’t want anybody to take advantage of that. “nothing too exciting, just work mostly.”

dangerousanna​:

“Not sure that milkshakes and fries are sugar. But yes, i will agree to them because they are stunning,” she said. “As long as when you are there, you are giving 100%. Then you are not letting them down,” she promised. Anna nodded. “He deserves to have you guys in his life,” she said even if there wasn’t a place for her in his life. 

“milkshakes totally have sugar but you’re right about the fries. sounds great, mom.” he smiled. “i’ve got to learn to give a little less of myself, so that i don’t end up burning out like you said. because it is always my intention to give a hundred percent.” grayson nodded. “i love dad and i love hanging out with him, i just need to make more of an effort.” he admitted.
