Because I don’t plan on watching Legacies for a while, (just waiting on a few episodes to binge and see if I like it or not) will probably determine whether or not I keep this version of Josie, my muse for her feels depleted since she’ll now have a canon storyline and being divergent and hc based is hard work
seesgood·:
❝ You’re not gonna screw it up, ❞ She smiled to herself as Josie changed, turning her attention to carefully smoothing out the wrinkles on her daughter’s duvet. She couldn’t deny that she was a little bit nervous about the fact that Josie was dating. Jo had always been the more level headed between the twins. The one that Caroline could always trust to keep Lizzie grounded, and now that Josie was the one going out with boys, she felt something inside of her churn nervously. And no matter how many times Alaric told her it was natural, she still didn’t feel like it could be.❝ Is he picking you up? ❞ She questioned innocently, glancing up at the closed door with a raised eyebrow.
Josie pulled the dress with the skater skirt over her head, the elasticity of the fabric stretching and tightening around her frame. Revealing herself to her mom from the bathroom she moved closer to her mom, pulling the small heels from underneath the bed out. “I hope I don’t, I’m not used to this.” She laughed gently, fingers fastening the straps around her ankles so she wouldn’t trip over and over again while walking. “Yeah, he wanted to be a gentleman and meet you and dad first. I guess so dad can give him the stern look and define my curfew in front of him.”

Charlotte liked Josie and simply tolerated the brunette’s twin sister, Lizzie. The blonde Saltzman wasn’t always that nice to her, especially a couple years ago. It was with Josie that she’d become friends with and confided in. Of course she’d developed a crush over the past year for her friend, but had always kept it to herself. “It’s nothing too serious,” she half-lied, knowing she didn’t want to reveal her feelings yet. “I just missed spending alone time with you.”
Josie shut her grimoire closed and pushed it to the end of the bed, she didn’t need to advertise that she was horrible at magic to Charlotte. Turning to the girl, Josie tucked a loose strand of curly brown hair behind her ear, gently moving closer to her friend. “You have serious look on your face.” She got her keen sense of observation from Caroline. “Then why don’t you more often?”

while the smell of perfume was strong , the smell of blood couldn’t be masked . her eyes scan over the young girl in her arms with such pain . her daughter was hurting , and she felt absolutely powerless . ❛ we can fix your room , josie , your room isn’t what i’m worried about . ❜ she responds gently , pressing her lips to the crown of josie’s head . she pulls back to wipe at the tears that fall down the girl’s face . ❛ how long has it been like this ? how long have you been struggling ? ❜
Josie never wanted to open this side of her up to her mom, Lizzie had felt the twin’s pain, brushed it off but kept an eye out for the brunette. But to let her mom know about the pain of her true nature, the struggle and anguish that lay deep within her, it was worse than the pain from the splinters that were stuck in her body. Her eyes may have looked at Caroline, but they truly looked through her, glassy from tears and unfocused. Her vision blurry as weighted shoulders shrugged. She truly didn’t know when this pain started. “I’ve never liked what I am.” Her voice weak, broken up by the sobs that shook her chest. “I’ll never be as good as Lizzie.” Her head dropped to her knee, not wanting to use the strength to lift her head. “Mom I want to be normal.”

“You want to completely suppress your magic?” he asked in surprise. “This isn’t something you need to be afraid of, Josie. There’s nothing wrong with what you are. But…” Matthias sighed. “If that’s what you really want. . Yes. I could help you find a way to block your siphoning abilities. And unless you’re doing something reckless that could get you or someone else hurt, I don’t see any reason why Caroline needs to know anything.” Oh, he knew he probably should tell Caroline, but–all due respect–she was a vampire, not a witch. This wasn’t something she could really understand.
“I don’t want it. My magic is like a beacon of bad luck, a token of burden everywhere I turn.” She hated that she was a siphon, stuck using her magic for others but never for herself. “I just want to be myself. Without the magic.” She had thought of it for years, transferring her magic to a breakable object and smashing it off the roof of the boarding house like some grand gesture. A big middle finger to the Gemini coven. “I won’t hurt anyone. This might actually keep me alive, Lizzie and I don’t know what could happen when we become of age. We might accidentally merge, it’s possible that the Gemini coven could come for us. Lizzie is the stronger one, removing my magic like my biological mother did, might actually keep us both alive. I just don’t want my mom to know. She’ll try to stop me.”

Charlotte saw through the mean girl routine of both Lizzie and Josie, but it was easier to form a friendship with the brunette. She was definitely nicer and they could both relate to being one half of a twin relationship. It made it easy for her to just slip into the other’s room and sit next to her on the bed. She laughed a little as she nodded her head. “Yea, it’s me. I figured just coming in would be okay.”
Josie wasn’t as mean and manipulative as her twin could be, which made it easier for other students to get close to the brunette Saltzman. Especially other twins and in particular, Charlotte. She understood the twin troubles, feeling less than perfect when compared to their opposite. “Yeah, it’s fine, Charlotte. What’s up? You don’t typically come in here without something on your mind.”

❝ Oh god he’s a nerd, ❞ She smiled, pushing away the lingering grief that she figured she’d always feel about Stefan and instead focusing on what was right here, in front of her. Mainly, a daughter who was excited about a date with a cute boy.❝ Oh I won’t just bite him if he hurts you, ❞ She was part-Salvatore, after all. And though she kept her vampire side in check and tried as best as she could to lead by example for the kids at the school, she did know a few tricks from her brother-in-law about how to properly torture someone.❝ But he won’t. Because you are just as powerful as your sister and therefore perfectly capable of hurting him yourself. ❞ It was just that if anything was left of him after Josie was done with him, well, the boy would have hell to pay.
“Yeah mom, he really is. Just like me.” Josie loved her fantasy books, her comic books, anything that made her feel as human as she could, not a siphon freak. “I know that mom, you will use compulsion, your fangs and strength. You’re strong mom, I’m glad I have you to look up to.” She spoke gently, picking up her dress that lay on the bed before moving to the bathroom to quickly change as the time for the date started approaching. Quickly undressing and fixing the dress to her body, she walked back into the bedroom with the dress snug to her frame. “Knowing me mom, I’ll screw up and Lizzie would come in to save the day and magic his ass away, but let’s not think about that. I want him to be one of the good ones.” Josie could be scary if she wanted to, but she usually left it to Lizzie.

//MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS - HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING THAT RIGHT WORD!!!!!
I’ve reblogged it before, and I’ll reblog it again
seesgood·:
Hearing Stefan’s voice was always a punch to the gut. Years down the road, and it still felt like she might crumble from the pain of it all. If it hadn’t been for the girls, she wasn’t sure how she would be able to cope with it. Caroline smiled softly at Josie’s description of the man. It was obvious that she adored him. And really the only thing that she could hope was that it didn’t end in heartbreak.❝ He sounds amazing. ❞ She murmured. Hand reaching out to brush Josie’s hair over her shoulder, smiling softly down at her daughter.❝ I think it goes without saying, but if he breaks your heart… ❞ She trailed off, the corner of her mouth quirking into a somewhat teasing smile.❝ I’ll be the least of his worries. He’ll have to go through Lizzie first and we all know that would be a disaster. ❞
Her face dropped when she could see the sadness take over her mother, it was a fresh wound even a decade after. Stefan was someone Josie could barely remember, but for her mother, she remembered it all. Their first kiss, their engagement, their wedding. His death and goodbye messages. Josie was excited to go on a date with a guy that was already beginning to mean to much to her, because he was exactly what she envisioned her step-father to have been, he was so much like Alaric as well. “He also loves dad’s classes which is a bonus. Least he doesn’t hate daddy as a teacher.” Trying to bring some light back into the room, her mother beat her to the punch. “You have my permission to bite him, just as I gave Lizzie permission to hit him if he hurts me. He knows what kind of family I’m from. He’d be pretty stupid to not know.”

"Can we try to convince mom to not open the school up in a couple weeks? I’m going to miss just you and me time.” Summer was the best time for the twins, they got along, played around, on the occasion Caroline let them siphon her, they practised magic, even if Lizzie was always better, Josie was advancing from last year. “I don’t want everyone to show back up.”

Josie tended to keep to herself most days, not wanted to make friends because she knew that so many people could easily get hurt. The siphon wanted to try and protect her heart, but Charlotte had begun to truly become a friend to Josie. Sitting in her room reading a book she didn't even realise when someone came in and sat on the bed with her till she felt the mattress sink. “Hey, hey, hey... oh, it’s you.”
Anyone want a starter from my canon divergent Josie Saltzman?

“There are tricks around it. Magic stored in objects, for example, like a ring or an amulet. Think of it like a sort of. . daylight ring, but for siphons. It’s something to keep you safe.” It would be easy to make one for her–Lizzie too, for that matter, though she didn’t seem to have much of a problem siphoning from others–he just wasn’t sure if Josie would accept it.
“Maybe there could be a way to harness my power into something and squash it.” She wanted it gone, she would be a teacher like her daddy, not magical if she could help it. Magic was something Josie was ready to get rid of. “I need some kind of safety amulet or something. Could you help me? But are you able to keep something like this a secret from my mom?” Teachers helping students personal agendas was unheard of.
“You know my dad can’t find out right? He owns a crossbow.”
alwaysxwin·:
The mention of Jo, of their sibling relationship growing up, admittedly stung. Leaning perhaps a bit closer, the siphon restrained every urge to strike her. “Don’t talk about things you don’t understand. This whole place?” A hand motions toward the Salvatore Boarding House. “– Didn’t exist when I was a kid. My whole Coven thought I was some kind of abomination. You have no idea what that’s like.” When her eyes closed, Kai huffed in agitation and stood, rolling his eyes. “I don’t need your control. I need your sway with Caroline.”
She’d never been more scared in her entire life, here she was, cowering to her Uncle who hated the coven and all they stood for. He was a real abomination, but not because of his way of magic, but by his actions and the way he manipulated everyone. But her mom, someone she looked up to, one of her best friends. She wouldn’t abuse that just so Kai didn’t kill her. “I won’t do anything to my mom, just kill me now. It’s not worth it.” She was shaking, Josie couldn’t move from her spot on the ground, nearly laying on the ground due to his hover. “Maybe if you weren’t so mean, your family would have loved you.”

“Ah, I bet he spouts things like those who don’t learn from history are bound to repeat it and things like that.” She could appreciate that line of thinking. She probably should have embraced it a long time ago but instead she had made the same mistakes a few times. Oh well, she’d like to think she was getting better at it now.
Her heart clenched at the thought of Hope in pain. Her own pain was fresh but it could never be the same as what Hope felt. “That’s why I am here. I don’t…I don’t want to her to be alone right now. She’s lost a lot for a young girl. I don’t know how much help I will be but I had to try.” She hoped that Hope wouldn’t turn her away. She found herself needing that connection too. Some part of the man she loved was still here — and she felt an obligation to make sure Hope was safe and happy.
“He does.” Josie laughed at the thought of her father standing in front of a classroom, saying things along the lines of history repeating itself. She knew he would always be the history teacher that taught her mom and aunts when they were in high school, which was a strange thought at the same time. “He may teach at a magic school but he truly cannot get rid of his history teacher past.” Nodding softly, Josie could see that Cami was close to Hope in some way, that she ached for the young orphan in pain. She lost both parents, and an Uncle in such a short span of time that no one deserved to go through that much pain and hurt. “She is lost, Cami. She needs people who care about her, my mom is trying her best, but Hope doesn’t really know her. She must know you though, I’m sure she’ll be happy to see someone from home.”

It was funny how news of Mystic Falls had reached her in Alaska. It was often in bits and pieces — sometimes things that she wanted to know (Ric was alive, Ric was a father), sometimes things that she had no interest in (the historical society was going to go all out this year). She never got the full story, most likely because it was passed onto her from someone who didn’t understand the true history of the town.
She had never heard the full story of just how Ric became a father. However, she was able to put a few pieces together from Josie’s confession. Her eyes widened slightly. Their mother had died and somehow Caroline had stepped in. “I’m sorry. About your mother,” she said quietly. “I can’t pretend to know what that is like but I am sorry.” She hoped it sounded as sincere as she felt.
She nodded her head. “Actually I wouldn’t mind a drink.” As she moved further into the house, she glanced around. “So is it like a boarding school now? Students stay here during the school year?”
Josie turned around to move into the kitchen, moving past the mountains of bookshelves that were pressed against the walls, volumes of novels and historical references that her Uncle Damon and step-father had gathered over their long immortal life and now it was being filled with textbooks and grimoires. Rounding the corner to the large expansive kitchen, Josie pulled out the juice, soft drink and water, placing them in a row with a glass in front. Quickly she added scotch to the line up and allowed Meredith to chose what she wanted. “Pick your poison.” With a smile she pushed herself up, sitting on a counter top to continue their conversation. “It’s okay, I never knew my mom. She died pregnant with my sister and I. Long story short, we are part of a witch coven that was at the wedding, and they placed our life essence into the closest home, and it ended up being Caroline. Even as a vampire she carried us and the witches helped her give birth to us. I’m named after my mom, Josette, and my sister is named after Caroline’s mom, who died just before my own mom did.
