How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?

In the magic kingdom of Andalasia, Princess Caroline is suddenly banished by the evil Queen Lillian and finds herself in the disenchanted streets of the 21st century, New York City. Shocked by this new environment that doesn't operate on a happily ever after basis, Caroline is now lost in a world in need of enchantment.

But when she begins to fall in love with Klaus, a charmingly, grumpy, and flawed divorce lawyer who has helped her adapt to this new world - even though she is already promised to the perfect Prince Stefan back home - she starts to wonder: Can a hopeless romantic and fairy tale lover like her, survive in the real world where love is not as easy as a single true love's kiss?

“Good luck tomorrow, Forbes.”

The voice comes from behind her and before turning, she lets out a sigh, mentally preparing herself for what talking to Klaus Mikaelson entailed. “I don't need luck. I'm winning that Gold medal, Mikaelson.”

“You seem very sure about it,” he smiles.

“I am,” she affirms with a frown.

“Maybe if you win the competition, I'll let you go on a date with me.

“Let me?” She snorts in disbelief. “Why would I ever agree to go on a date with you?”

“Oh come on, love,” he says softly. “I have seen the way you have been looking at me all week.”

“If I remember correctly, it was you who couldn’t take your eyes off me.”

“So you were looking at me after all,” the smile on his face is wide and his eyes shine cunningly. “But can you blame me for admiring you? You are gorgeous, I've found it hard to take my eyes off you.

Caroline feels her cheeks warm and knows that she is blushing. “Maybe, if you and your team win, I'll let you go on a date with me,” she lets out a shy smile from the corner of her lips.

“I take that as a challenge.”

...

In recent news, we have been informed that professional ice skater Caroline Forbes was spotted with hockey player Klaus Mikealson leaving the Olympic Village together. They looked very close and we wonder if their wins at the Olympics made them get together or if this is another romance that has emerged away from the ice rink.

kc prompt : “If I ever asked you to marry me would you say yes?”

Thanks nonnie, this one turned out a bit fluffy : )

The Luckiest

“If I asked you to marry me would you say yes?” She asked into the darkness, her fingers drawing circles on his bare chest. 

“No.” Was the one word reply that he murmured, his voice thick with sleep. 

They’d returned from Rebekah and Enzo’s engagement party earlier that night quite drunk and stumbled into bed, pawing each other madly. So, it was obvious where this particular conversation was coming from. 

“That was a pretty quick reply,” she growled. “You know Jennifer Hudson proposed to her husband, so too Pink.”

“While I find that absolutely fascinating…” Klaus trailed off sarcastically.

“You’re just being plain sexist,” she huffed, poking his chest accusingly.  

“Caroline, it’s the middle of the bloody night. Can’t all these sexism accusations wait until the morning?”  

“So,” she drawled, sitting up and turning on the bedside lamp. “I know what this is all about.”

“I assume you’re going to tell me then, love,” Klaus groaned, finally peeling one eye open followed by the other. 

“It’s because you don’t want to marry me at all.” 

“Oh, here we go.”

“Well, what other explanation is there?” She squeaked, feeling the tears gathering in her eyes. All she ever wanted was to marry Klaus but now she wasn’t so certain he had the same thoughts.  

“Caroline,” Klaus implored. “How about we talk about this when we’re a little less drunk and a little less naked.” 

“You’re avoiding it.”

“I’m not,” he insisted, moving closer so that he could place his hands on her hips. “Okay, you asked for it, love. I actually have two explanations.”

“Oh really?”

“You asked,” he shot back, fastening a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Number one, the Caroline Forbes I know would want a traditional proposal.”

“And number two?” Caroline asked, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. 

“Bossy much, Forbes” he teased. “And number two, I already had something planned this weekend but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”

“What?” She inhaled sharply. Klaus opened the nearby drawer and presented her with a black, velvet box and taking a knee.

“Caroline Elizabeth Forbes, I am the luckiest man in the world to have met you and don’t want to spend another day apart. Will you marry me?” 

“It’s kind of difficult to concentrate with you naked and kneeling on the floor, Mikaelson.”

“Now whose fault is that exactly, love?” 

“Get your ass up here,” she chuckled, gesturing to him with her finger. 

“So, is that a yes?” 

“That’s a hell yes,” she grinned, pulling him closer and running her hands through those dirty blonde curls, which were slightly knotted from bed. “As long as we don’t tell people this is how we got engaged.”

“You’d prefer to tell people you proposed?” He smirked. “No problem, we wouldn’t want anyone to think I was sexist.”

“Shut up and kiss me finance,” she laughed, pulling him towards her greedily.

"Klaus, you were going to be the one night stand I'd feel bad about for five minutes the next morning but that I'd never think about again. Don't flatter yourself."

"Oh, I beg to differ."

"You would, wouldn't you?"

"You might have still hated me afterward, it's not unheard of. But I'm quite remarkable, love. You'd think about me."

"Not only you're prick and a womaniser, but you're also arrogant. How delightful."

"You call it arrogance, I call it confidence."

"Well, I guess we can both rejoice in the knowledge that I will never have to be disappointed with your..." She pauses, eyes him up and down with deliberate disdain. "Skills. Thank God for the small victories, right?"

The bright smirk on Klaus' face makes her question whether she had just unwittingly paid him a compliment, but then he says, "Like you calling me Klaus. It's progress."

Damn it.

For love and country

The wedding of the century between Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline and Klaus Mikaelson has been described as nothing more than a fairytale.

"Now is the time you should run away," she whispers softly over the noise of the ceremony that's taking place in front of them.

"Why would I do that, love? After all, marrying you will make me king of this country."

"Duke, actually," she tries to hide the smile that is beginning to appear on her lips.

"Duke?" He says, his tone is full of disbelief. "I should have paid more attention to those lessons." Caroline laughs suddenly and all eyes turn to them curiously. "You are right, this is the time I should run away"

"I think it would be quite hard to go back from this. Sadly, you are irreplaceable to me now."

"Am I?" The smile on his face is naughty.

"Marrying a princess isn't nothing, Klaus. It's forever." He can see a hint of the gleam of doubt and nervousness in her eyes. He gently takes her hand and begins to caress it carefully, all her fear is attenuated from feeling his touch.

"It's a good thing that I am willing to spend the rest of my life next to Her Royal Highness then. After all, I am doing this for the country."

Caroline smirks and gives him a questioning look. "Just for the country?"

"Well, I might as well be deeply in love with her," he takes her hand and brings it to his mouth to kiss her, belonging there a second longer than he should. "More than she can imagine."

And so the adventure begins.

Don’t remember me by AddriannaDestiny/AddriannaDestiny

The alpha and his mate by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated M: When a werewolf finds its mate, there’s supposed to be an instant attraction: smoldering eye contact, adrenaline rush, and the insatiable urge to… you know, mate. Unfortunately for Klaus Mikaelson, due to an epic glitch of nature his mate is not a lycan similar to himself but a stunning, strong-willed and utterly stubborn human - Caroline Forbes. Fluffy smut, or smutty fluff. :)

take it but don’t break it by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: When a werewolf finds its mate, there’s supposed to be an instant attraction – smoldering eye contact, adrenaline rush, the insatiable urge to… you know, mate. Which is why a certain alpha male is confused when he kisses Caroline Forbes but instead kissing him back she smashes a beer bottle on his head. Prequel to The Alpha and His Mate.

that i give you not my hand but my heart by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: Sold as wife to Legatus Niklaus Mikaelson in exchange for the command of ten thousand soldiers, Caroline Salvatore resigns herself to a political marriage where her husband sees her merely as another pawn in the game of war. But on her wedding night, she learns a valuable lesson – sometimes one word is all it takes to earn a man’s respect. Klaroline Game of Thrones/Spartacus AU.

a lesson in punctuality by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated M: Klaus is late. Caroline is annoyed. So she teaches him a lesson using a helpful little technique called ‘seduction’. Smutty times ensue at the office - too bad Stefan’s caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Oh for Christ’s sake, Stefan,” Damon groaned. “That does NOT sound like a business call!”

pink slip by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: Pink slip - a race where the winner gets to keep the loser’s car. Unfortunately for Kol Mikaelson, he lost to Caroline Forbes. Even more unfortunately, the DB9 he lost belongs to his brother Klaus.

you take the gun (or you pull out a bigger one) by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated M: Conference call at eight thirty, deposition at nine, settlement meeting at ten. It’s an ordinary morning for top gun lawyer Klaus Mikaelson – until he spots a bouquet of flowers awaiting delivery to Caroline Forbes with a hand-written card that reads ‘Dinner tomorrow? - Marcel’.

my love is a sonnet of gold and blue by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: “For a groom whose bride just ran away, you don’t even look sad.” Damon comments, passing a flask of whiskey along to his brother. Stefan just smiles as he watches Caroline run out of the cathedral, hand in hand with Klaus.

i’ll carve you a red river by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: Caroline learns of Hayley’s pregnancy – and the consequences are bloody. “Oh, but I like New Orleans,” she says with a smug smile, delighting in the blaze of anger that flares in Klaus’ eyes as Marcel’s arm wraps tight around her waist. “I like being queen.”

my best friend’s sister by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: The sisters of your friends are off-limits. That’s perhaps the most sacred of all Bro Code rules. Unfortunately, it’s also the most broken one.

and if he falls by she.daydreams.in.colour

Rated T: A room number mix-up results to Klaus Mikaelson staring speechlessly at a naked woman in his shower at four thirty in the morning. Unfortunately for him, Damon Salvatore doesn’t take kindly to strangers gawking at his sister Caroline. “Oh God, Damon - I think you broke his jaw.”

only red flames live here now by she.dreams.in.colour

Rated T: A royal elopement brings a thousand Greek warships seeking to conquer the Trojan shores. As the battle of gods and men wage on, a prince of Sparta finds himself wanting to ravage not only the city of Troy but a certain fair-haired maiden as well. Trojan War AU, not strictly compliant to Iliad.

lay all your love on me by she.dreams.in.colour

Rated T: “You know what you should do? Get over that ‘I-have-to-have-feelings-for-the-men-I-sleep-with’ crap. Go to some random bar, flirt with some good looking guy and get laid. Casual, recreational, no strings attached.” Damon said. Caroline should have known better than to listen. AU/AH

The Madness Underneath by Hybridlovelies

Rated M: Caroline is a psych student working as a sober companion in Chicago, hired by Elijah Mikaelson to assist his brother, Klaus, who is fresh out of rehab. For the next six weeks she’ll be with him 24/7 helping him to maintain a sober life. Caroline will soon discover Klaus is no ordinary client. AH/AU, based off of Elementry/Sherlock Holmes.

Wicked Schemes by willowaus

Rated M: Old family secrets lead Caroline on a journey of self-discovery and into the dark underbelly of New Orleans as Klaus works to reclaim his kingdom and rebuild the family he’s slowly destroyed over the centuries. A TVD/The Originals crossover. Caroline/Klaus.

Prowl by withfireandblood

Beauty and the Geek by jomosfamilyjewels

Rated M: AU/AH - Klaus owns a comic book store and Caroline is the pretty little thing that moves into the retail space next door. Light and fluffy, to go with all the doom and gloom that’s been popping up lately! Rated M…because you know me…it’ll get smutty before you know it. *snickers*

Cowboys and Indians by jomosfamilyjewels

Rated M: Klaus and Caroline are childhood friends, but circumstances in Klaus’ young life turn him and his family to a life of crime causing them to become the most feared Outlaws in the West.

Can a single Caroline and Klaus live under the same room without causing any turmoil? Klaroline. Rated ’M’. AH/AU

I Don’t Date Men With Accents by peaceful village

Rated M: Caroline had a great life. She was living in Chicago, had an okay job, the best friends in the world, and an amazing daughter. Being a single Mom wasn’t the easiest job, but she managed. It all changed when Caroline went to England for a wedding, and she came face to face with someone she thought she would never see again. The reason she doesn’t date men with accents.

Coven by LoveOblivious

Rated M: A series of smutty one-shots depicting the five times (to date) that Klaus and Caroline were close to being caught in oh-so compromising positions.

Once in A Blue Moon by TalkingToTulips

Rated T: Welcome to New York’s Upper East side, where the children of wealthy investment bankers and politicians run free. Backstabbing, treachery and all forms of debauchery are fair game.

AU Klaroline, Kalijah, Kennett.

Just Another Fairytale

Chapter Eleven: On Bended Knee

The sound of gentle knocking on the final day of the tourney had Caroline’s lips turning upward. When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Klaus’s bright smiling face and his blue eyes coming to life. He held out his hand for her, and Caroline slipped her finger between his happily, allowing herself to be pulled into the chamber; leaving her companions behind. Klaus would escort her to the tourney and have her take the seat beside him in the royal box. At first she knew that it was a message and one that had her stomach tied into knots.

The message that the Prince had claimed Caroline as his own and that the rest of the Kingdom should treat her as such.

Klaus had been dropping hints all week about the future and where he would see them ending up. He had not come right out and asked her to marry him but Caroline felt as though it was on the horizon; a very close horizon. It was not that she didn’t want to marry him, she did, but she questioned whether or not she would make a good princess, and one day queen.

Fic: The Wolf II

Summary: The Guerreras’ threat still looms over the Mikaelson house as Caroline tries to adapt to life as a vampire, away from her daughter. But an unexpected family reunion makes everything worse, taking away the little peace Klaus, Caroline and Elijah managed to find after the war that nearly broke them.[It’s The Originals Season 2, but Caroline was a witch, had Klaus’ baby and now she’s a vampire. Klaroline, obviously.]

S02E25 The Day I Tried To Live ✨

Voices travel out of the house, all the way to Klaus’ ears, before he’s even crossed the driveway in front of the Salvatore Boarding House.

“Why would we give a letter to Jo?” he hears Elena say in that shrill, demanding tone of hers that took him so close to snatching out her tongue on more than one occasion.

Klaus is long past his hard feelings towards Mystic Falls’ band of misfits and mongrels, life having reminded him how those scheming teenagers were really never more than cockroaches under his boots, but he still finds himself annoyed. It’s almost inevitable. In the scale of doppelgangers, he’d say Elena definitely reigns as the most insufferable of them all. He’d take Katerina trying to one-up him any day over the abnegated martyr. At least she was clever.

“I haven’t been able to find her using a locator spell, and, you know, good on her, because under normal circumstances I’d be super jazzed to gouge out her belly button,” responds an unfamiliar male voice.

Klaus stops. The gouging out belly buttons part has him suddenly interested. He prowls closer to the house, walking towards the back door, where the voices seem to be coming from, now paying close attention.

“Why would we help you, Kai?” Damon speaks this time, that detestable little wanker. Just hearing his voice makes Klaus want to snap his neck to shut him up.

Kai. He remembers that name from one of Caroline’s messages. Someone who was causing some kind of trouble in Mystic Falls, if he’s not mistaken. Her messages got rather vague and waspish after a while, once his resounding silence had taken a toll on her.

“Well, in case you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m a sociopath. I know. Shocker,” Kai replies. Klaus arches his eyebrows approvingly. “I like being a sociopath. I’m not burdened by things like guilt or love. So, then this merge happened with my brother Luke, and I won, which was great, because I absorbed his ability to do magic, but now I can’t stop thinking about how Luke died… How Liv’s life is now ruined.” The man’s voice visibly thickens with emotion. “For some horrible reason, I can’t shake how badly I feel about it.”

A remorseful sociopath. How quaint.

Just Another Fairytale

Chapter Ten: Memories of the Past

“Hurry up Elena! I don’t want to miss anything! And we need to get good seats!” Caroline cried behind her, racing down the corridor, passing guards and other maidens. Her sapphire-blue dress swaying at her feet as she ran. The clear crystal buttons that ran down the front of her bodice gleamed in the sunlight and the necklace Klaus had gifted her resting on her bosom. The dress was more elegant than what would typically be worn during the day but this was no typical day.

This was the beginning of the tourney.

It had been a week since the night in the woods and Caroline found herself sneaking as many kisses and moments alone with Klaus as she could. On more than one occasion, Bonnie would stumble upon them just before someone else would discover them and a time or two that either Lucian or Enzo caught them. Caroline could not help how her skin turned red each time they were caught, especially by Klaus’s two best friends who she knew teased him mercilessly when she was not in his presence.

Klaus was respectful, never pushing her beyond the boundaries of what was deemed socially acceptable. It was never anything untoward, just stolen kisses in dark corners and touches whenever they had a moment. Klaus seeked her out as often as his princely duties would allow. With the tourney approaching rapidly, much of Klaus’s time was sought out but Caroline, and Matthew, found themselves invited to dine with Klaus and his father no less than three times that week. Excitement bubbled in Caroline’s stomach, knowing that at the end of the upcoming week, she may find Klaus down on one knee. It was something he had hinted continuously throughout the week and she could not help the fear and excitement consume her thoughts.

25 Days of Klaroline + Mikaelson Siblings (photo not mine obviously, credit to Julie Plec). This is a totally crazy and crack like take on the 12 Days of Christmas theme with some family goodness (and lots of bickering).

We Are Family

“I did not sign up for this, Nik,” Rebekah managed to bite out through gritted teeth. “You know how much I hate cows.”

“And here I thought you’d feel a special kinship with your kind, Rebekah.” Kol appeared from the balcony of the compound, surprisingly relaxed given their enormous task.

“Shut it Kol before I come up there and do it for you! What the hell happened to all your bloody minions? They should be doing the dirty work, big brother.”

“Caroline and I set down some ground rules and agreed that our presents this year needed to be assistance free, and uncompelled.”

“You mean Caroline set down the ground rules? Because that sure as hell doesn’t sound like you, Niklaus,” Elijah confirmed. “Last time I checked this plan isn't asistance free.“ 

"Ah, semantics. I’m sure she meant my minions, there’s no way in hell she’d ever expect you to help me in the first place with…”

“Hard labour?" Elijah muttered. "Geese are vicious. I have feathers down my shirt and rips in my best suit trousers from those pests.”

“You realise you don’t have to wear a suit all the time, right? Especially when wrangling wayward animals.”

“I know fashion is a foreign concept for you Kol but putting that fact aside, I don’t recall asking your opinion.”

“I don’t know it’s not so bad, Elijah.”

“That’s because you were auditioning all those maids-a-milking,” Rebekah drawled. “You realise they only liked you because they needed the job, right?”

“Niklaus, why do I have to put up with this immaturity?”

“Says the biggest 1000 year-old child in the room. If anyone is putting up with anything it’s me.”

“I think we all are,” Elijah offered, his normally even tone strained. Klaus figured his resolve must have been weakened by the run-in with his feathered friends. "I just hope Caroline truly appreciates this circus you’re planning for Christmas, Niklaus.“ 

"It’s not a circus,” he bristled, defensively. When Klaus had awoken from such a vivid dream, he knew exactly what to get Caroline. She loved unique gestures and Christmas and he knew this would be one of his best plans yet.

Trying to garner his family’s assistance was another challenge but after much bickering, physical altercations and blackmail they’d come to an agreement, albeit reluctantly. 

“I need a status report,” he instructed, changing the subject. “Elijah. Drummers and Lords?”

“Booked.”

“Did you ever think we could have possibly modernised this little show of Christmas affection?” Klaus chose not to entertain his inane suggestions.  

“If Kol had his way we’d have strippers stripping,” Rebekah teased, poking her tongue out at her brother.  

“Rings, Rebekah?”

“I picked them up from the jeweller yesterday, got myself a few other pieces on your tab for my trouble.” Of course she did. It was always about Rebekah after all.

“What else, am I forgetting?” He said, more to himself than the others.

“I had a little trouble with the partridge,” Kol admitted. “Do you know how difficult it is to find one of those already in a pear tree?”

“And I thought I was the blonde one,” Rebekah scoffed.

“But day one is tomorrow,” Klaus hissed, feeling like his best laid plans were unravelling thanks to his inept siblings who couldn’t remember the lyrics to a well known English Christmas carol.

“No, that’s day two,” he insisted. “A partridge and a pear tree.”

“No day two is calling birds,” Rebekah answered knowingly even though it was in fact four.

“Are you sure it’s not swans? I found these splashing around in my bath,” Katherine growled, as they majestically waddled in behind her. “And I have no intention of cleaning it up." 

"What are they doing here already?” Klaus was pacing now, unsure of how to proceed he was that mad. “It’s not day seven yet.”

“But I got seven geese,” Elijah murmured.

“You did what?”  

“It was a traumatic experience Niklaus but I’m fairly certain there were seven snapping at my nether regions.”

“Sounds like Katherine, the house guest that will never leave,” Kol joked.

“Sleep with one eye open is all I’m going to say Mikaelson,” she meowed. “I might have a little, white oak surprise watiing.”

“Enough!” Klaus shouted, his patience well and truly worn out. “All I asked was for you to do one thing and you can’t even stop bickering long enough to do it.”

“Any reason there are some guys in tights leaping around the yard?” Klaus stilled, why did she have to come home at that exact moment?

“Who cares?” Kol rebuffed. “Look, we have swans, darling.” If this was his attempt at deflection, Klaus was worried.

“Any connection to the hens in the kitchen sink?” She asked curiously, her blue eyes regarding Klaus curiously.

“I was prepping them for Christmas dinner,” Rebekah offered weakly.

“What is going on here?” Klaus knew by the hands on hips stance, the game was up. “There’s only so much poultry I can handle in the same space.”

“Hear, hear,” Katherine agreed, giving the swans a dirty look.       

“I was planning on surprising you for Christmas,” he murmured. “Surprise.”

“What exactly did you do besides robbing Noah’s ark of all its animal life?”

“It wasn’t me,” he blurted out. “It was them. I mean I don’t know how difficult it is to take on a very simple task.”

“Simple task?” Elijah shot back.  

“Last time I checked the rules state that we can’t have any assistance, Klaus. What part of that don’t you understand?”

“I did a bit.”

“Oh, which part?” Rebekah insisted, now her hands were firmly on hip. “Did you organise the cows, the rings, the turtle doves?”

“The maids, the dancers, the pipers…”

“Fine, alright,” he growled. "But silly me for thinking any of you could pull this off,“ he scoffed. "I promise I was doing all this for you, love.”

“Don’t you love me, you rule breaker,” she huffed.

Knowing Caroline intimately he couldn’t miss the slight tugging at the corners of her mouth. One look around the room told Klaus she wasn’t the only one. Before too long they errupted in fits of laughter, even Katherine who didn’t have a sense of humour most of the time.

“You set me up!”

“I can’t believe you don’t think we know the lyrics,” Elijah scoffed, his offence obvious. 

“That’s what you get for flauting the rules, Klaus,” she smirked. She looked pretty hot right now but Klaus was supposed to be mad not attempting to jump his girlfriend.

“So, I know what your motives were,” Klaus said pointedly to his girlfriend. She was a stickler for the rules, that’s for sure. "But what about the rest of you?“ He accused, wagging his finger in their direction.

"Are you kidding? Messing with you is my favourite past time,” Kol chuckled. “Actually it’s something we all have in common.” Even his girlfriend by the looks of it. Sudden'y he realised she fit in perfectly fine.

“Yeah, who says we don’t agree on anything?”

“We had a talk,” Caroline began. “I was suspicious about your unlawful activity and your siblings wanted to play with you, as usual.”

“Me too,” Katherine offered. Klaus cocked his left eyebrow in his brother’s girlfriend’s direction. “What can I say? I’m still pissed about that whole 500 year vendetta.”

“So, we made a deal.”

“I don’t think I like the sounds of this.” Klaus hated being left out just as much as he hated secrets.

“In exchange for the prank, we get the compound all to ourselves after the holidays.”

“We can only take so much noise within these paper thin walls and you are worse than rabbits," Kol groaned.

"Now, that’s a visual I didn’t need, Kol,” Rebekah cursed. Then it struck him, his girlfriend was brilliant. He knew it before but now it was truly confirmed. Maybe she would fit in with their manipualtive family after all. This had been her plan all along to get them out of the house. It was genuis.  

The way Klaus saw it, being far away from his siblings was a definite bonus after the drama they’d no doubt inflict over the holidays. 

“I can’t believe it,” he muttered, pretending to be angry. “And if you want to keep your livers I suggest you disperse so I can have a word with my girlfriend here. Oh and while you’re at it you might want to check there’s no other wildlife present in the compound.”

“I’ll swap you,” Elijah offered to Katherine. “Geese for the swans.”

“If anyone finds a maid around the place, feel free to send her to my bedroom,” Kol chuckled.

“Charming, Kol,” she drawled. “Well, I don’t know about anyone else but I’m definitely keeping the rings.”

“You sneaky thing,” he grinned, pulling her into his arms once they were out of vampire earshot. “You planned this

"No, that was you with all that rule breaking,” she deflected. “I was just working with what I had.”

“I just wanted it to be special,” he implored, running his hands through her golden locks.

“The thought was there, no matter how huge. The reason I came up with those rules wasn’t to be annoying. I don’t need grand gestures, Klaus. You could have drawn me a picture and that would have been more than enough.”

“I draw you pictures all the time though.”

“And I love everyone of them,” she smiled. "But just for future gift-giving reference, I have a huge bird phobia.“

"Noted,” he murmured, grazing his nose against hers. “Then I’m not sure you should be out in the open with all these birds on the loose, probably best we take this to the bedroom until all wildlife has been captured. Don’t you think, love?”

“Knowing your siblings that might take a while so I fully support that plan,” she grinned wickedly, leaning in to capture his mouth with hers before pulling him upstairs. Maybe if they were lucky the siblings would make themselves scarce sooner.

idk if you're taking any prompts at the moment but maybe "hope and the twins find out klaus is in love with caroline and decide to set them up" also, your work is amazing!! thank you so much for your time!!

Parent Trap

Caroline tried the doorknob again. Everything felt right, yet the latch wouldn't move - even when she applied her vampire strength. "They wouldn't," she said, more to herself than the other occupant in the room. "Why would they..."

"What is it, love?"

Biting her lip, she did her best not to glare at him. Part of being friends meant not blaming him without some sort of evidence to support an accusation. "I think someone magically locked us in here, and I have a feeling it's the work of our daughters. But I have no idea what they hope to accomplish."

With a consternated furrow of his brow, Klaus moved to try the handle himself; she allowed herself a glare now that he didn't seem to believe her. "I wouldn't just make that up," she snapped.

He sighed, resigned to her irritation. "Of course not, I only wanted to make sure the spell wasn't applied only to you."

"Like I said," she replied, her voice sharp, "I think they locked us in here. Any ideas as to why?"

His tongue slipped across his bottom lip, and she could just see him biting the tip in thought. "It's-" But he hesitated, uncertainty an odd weight on his frame as he avoided her eyes. "It's possible I lost a sketchbook recently, and Hope is notoriously light-fingered when it comes to my studio. Normally, she sticks to art supplies, but I suppose she might have taken a liking to my work."

Rolling her eyes, Caroline barely restrained the urge to wave her hand impatiently. "And?" When he didn't answer, though, she seriously considered throwing something at him. "What might she have seen that led to this?"

He finally did meet her intent gaze with one of his own, and she knew exactly what he wasn't going to admit. Dropping her head into her hands, a weak laugh escaped her lips. "I can't tell if you just undermined my lecture on trusting others with intimate photos or proved its point."

Not at all that concerned as of yet, Klaus suddenly looked livid. "Your what?"
