thank you for choosing me to be your son. I have no idea what my life would look like if I had stayed with my biological parents, I probably wouldn’t be alive to write this letter. From what I’ve heard you’ve saved me in the right moment and for that, I’ll be eternally grateful. You two are the only parents I’ll ever consider as my own, no matter if we’re not blood related. It never was about the blood, it’s the love you have for me and the things you’ve taught me. I hope you never regretted for choosing me to be your son because I have never wished to have another family. I’m proud to be your son, to have the right you call you both my moms. I don’t have any memory of the biological parents, my firsts memories are with you and it will stay that for as long as I may live. Thank you for the unconditional lover and support, thank you for letting me choose my career and most importantly, for respecting my decision to be a human, for not forcing anything supernatural on me.
I know we have our ups and down, fights and making ups but I love you all. I know we’re probably the strangest group of siblings out there bu I wouldn’t change that for anything. Even though I’m younger than all of you, I just wanted to tell you all that you can always count on me, whatever happens in life. We may not share DNA and blood but i’ve always considered you lot my real siblings and nothing will ever change that. I know I get on your nerves a lot for wanting to follow the rules but it’s just the way I am, deal with it. I hope all of you will find happiness one day and that we’ll have the strangest holidays with the bunch of us getting together in future.
With love,
Beaux.
P.S. It was me who smashed that xbox few years ago, please don’t kill me.
Dear Willow, @wsalvatcre
You’re the best person I know and the one I trust my lilfe with, the person I’m closest to outside my family. I still remember the day we met, I fell off a swing and you’ve come to share your candy because you thought it would make the pain go away. And ever since that day, my love for you has grown. I really don’t know what I’d do without you, you are the best best friend one can have and I’m so glad I get to call you that. I know we’ve recently tapped into another aspect of our bond but you will always first and most important - be my best friend. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you, lengths I wouldn’t go to save you and make sure you’re okay. I hope we’ll always be this close because I’m not sure I could just let you go like that. I need you to keep me sane in all this madness around me.
I’m still lost without you. I’m trying to get my life back in order but I’m stuck in the same place ever since the day you’ve told me what happened with you and Bonnie. It has cut deeper than anything before and we both know everything I went through in my life. I never thought you’d hurt me like this, never thought we’d go on this long without talking. I don’t know what happened the other day when you said you’re coming over to talk, I’ve waited the entire day before I realized you weren’t coming. I guess something happened that was more important than coming to see me and talking things out. It’s okay, that’s your choice. I still love you, it’s the one thing that never changed no matter how much I tried to hate you in the past month but my love for you was always stronger. I guess you’ve made your choice about us so I’ll respect that. If you want to end it official, which I guess would be the next thing, let me know. I may seem pathetic to you now but I really thought we’d talk and be on our way to trying to mend things by now. Don’t worry, I won’t beg or cry, I’ll learn to let you go if that’s what you want.
Sincerely yours,
Elena.
Dear Bentley and Miranda, @sonofasalvatore & @vampmiranda
I’m sorry I’m not the perfect mom you both deserve but I promise I’m doing my best to try and be the best I can. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is, what pure happiness is, what having having a purpose in life is. I may not be as strong as you both are but I’m willing to give my life if it meant saving you without thinking twice about it. The day each of you was born were among the happiest in my life, I wouldn’t let go of you for days just to make sure you’re safe and sound. You’ve both grown into such beautiful people inside out and I’m so proud to call you my children. I’m always gonna be here for you no matter what happens, no matter what you do I’ll love you the same. Forgive me for when I wasn’t what you needed me to be, I’m just a human and I have flaws too but remember that I always tried to act in your best interest. I hope life brings you nothing but joy from now on and if there are bumps on the road, just now you have me for whatever you might need. I dread the day each of you will leave the house to go live with your significant other because then I won’t be able to see you as much but I guess we’ll deal with it as it comes. I love you both with all of my heart.
With love,
Mom.
Dear Jeremy,
Thank you for being the best brother in the world. I know we’ve had our fights and screams back in the day but you mean the world to me. Thank you for not throwing me away after we found out that we’re not siblings because in my heart, nothing changed. You’ll always be my little brother without whom I’d be lost for the better part of my teenage years. I’m sorry for the times I hurt you, I tried to protect you from the things I didn’t realize you were ready to face. I’m happy you’ve found happiness, watching you build your life with a wife and kids has been amazing, I’m so proud of who you are today. Whatever you need, just know I’ll always be there for you to try and help. Or kill your buzz if you go back to old habits. Joke, okay? I know you’re better than that and that you’ve learned your lesson long time ago.
words on a paper can mean so much more than when you whisper them into the world

Letter 1 (Hayley), Letter 2 (Twins), Letter 3 (Klaus)
Hayley,
From the first day I met you, I have felt something and then everything for you. It was this unmistakable feeling for an old heart that did not believe in love anymore. You always speak so highly of me, and what I have done but yet you don’t speak the same of yourself. So this is a love letter, a thank you letter, and a hope for our future letter.
So my cresent queen, my beautiful wife, my girl. I will start with the first part of this letter. The love letter. This ties into what you have done for this family. For what you have done for me. In a thousand years my dear, I have seen and done possibly everything. I know you will probably be scoffing at that, and thinking of my long list of lovers. But there is a long list that you have done, all of things that none of them in the past were ever able to do. For starters, you have kept me captivated since the moment I met a scared little wolf, who admittedly didn’t know what she was getting into. But its more than that, you have given me a home, something I always thought of as a place, a city, a town not a feeling. That feeling when you are wrapped up in my arms, your head upon my chest and your fingers laced with mine. That is home, home is listening to your heartbeat as you sleep. Home is the early morning hues that dance off of your golden skin, this home is with you. Wherever you are, that is home and alternatively another reason upon my long list. Our home the home I have found in you is peace. My sister always asked me if I had the chance to be free where I would be, I thought the coast of France would be that place. But no, with you is that freedom, and one place in the entire world I’d rather be.
Family, something you have been searching for, and the thing I never knew I needed until the day you said I do, and family took on a new meaning. This is the second reason in this long list of reasons of why I love you. You refuse to have this conversation, and I know my next words may be hard but I want you to listen regardless so please for me Hayley... continue to read on. Family isn’t just who is here, it is the things that we have lost as well. This doubt you have as a mother, this undeserving feeling you hold, I understand it. I know I can’t erase the pain, and that the two children we are having don’t replace the one we lost. The one I never knew about because I failed you as a husband. But Hayley, I will never look at you any differently because of it, you are still the moon in my night, the smile on a rainy day, and the warmth that a fire used to only provide me. You have built this family, and carried it’s weight on your shoulders. The strides you have made as a mother and wife, are appreciated. Just because we lost one doesn’t take away, nor add to the other seven we currently have. I can’t begin to understand your sense of loss. But I can make a promise to you, I promise you that anytime you feel weak, I will be there to stand by you and help you shoulder the weight of the world, through every scary moment may I be your shelter, and every time you are feeling a little blue, let me be your warmth to bring you back to the light. You are this family Hayley, you are the cornerstone, the very foundation that we built upon, and while there may be cracks. I know one thing about you, another reasons as well. You are strong my love, the strongest woman I could possibly know. The way you get up and carry yourself despite it all every day is admirable and then so. So this is the thank you, thank you for holding us together even when you wish to break. Thank you for bringing eight little loves into this world that we have seen flourish, and the two that are on the way. Thank you for the thousands of meals you have cooked, the hundreds of scrapes and bruises on our children that you have tended too. Thank you for all the late nights, and the early mornings despite your exhaustion that you took one more moment to look after our children. Thank you most importantly, for loving me. For showing this time old original that I am deserving of love, a love as great as yours, and that is something I wish to hold onto forever. Just like I intend to hold you.
And to the last thing, hope. We have gone through the pain, we have built been broken and rebuilt many times, as we will many times in the future. So my hope is that our love burns as brightly in another thousand years as it does today. My hope is that we see our children grow, and I can take you one day to explore the world to take the time for ourselves like we deserve. I hope that you always come to me when you are in distress and continue to find me a safe haven, and I will continue to make sure my arms are that haven for you. This I promise you Hayley. I promise you, a life of love, of care, of all the things you missed out on growing up. I promise you a husband who may lose his way, but will always find the guiding light back home to you. I promise through every tear, every smile, or gorgeous laughter, that I will be there to share it with you. Most of all, I promise to love you forever and always. To keep you as my girl.
I love you, for this lifetime and the next, and an eternity more.
~ Elijah
To my tiniest Tribrids
At the time of writing this, you are currently making your mothers stomach expand as you both grow within her womb. You two were quite the surprise to your mother and I, we hadn’t expected another child really nor twins. You two are truly quite special, the first set of twins ever in the Mikaelson family line that I know of, and well your dear old dad knows back many years.
For you two, I give you guys a promise, my little prince and princess. A promise that you will learn that I will never break. I will always be there for you two, no matter what trouble you find yourselves in, I will always love you two unconditionally no matter what trouble you two get into. I will protect you two, and and make sure no harm comes to you or this family. You two don’t know what you are walking into, but you have plenty of siblings that will guide you, and well your mother and I will be there every step of the way. You two may not be able to explore this world, and will come to find Mystic Falls as home but one day you two will see things, and experience things that you have only so far dreamed of.
I love you, I will love you every time the moon rises, my little crescents.
- Your father.
Niklaus
I made a promise to you once, do you remember brother? Family above all. It is something that has wavered over the years yes, but one thing that hasn’t faded is our devotion to the other. We’ve had our chance to start over, to have a new Hope. We mucked that up over the years brother and I know you want to be the noble one and put your feelings for my wife to the side, but I feel as your older brother to remind you of all that we have built. This town, despite being here by two siren bitches. We have built upon grounds that we once became monsters in. Maybe as much as this is my omission of forgiveness it is also my way of serving as a reminder to keep me in check as much as I will continue to keep you in check.
But back to the matter, what we have built. The bond of family gives us an immeasurable power. I implore you to remember the power we do have Niklaus. I know you have stated you will be noble and stand aside for the sake of your family and my own. As much as I wish to dagger you some days, I remember that we have grown loving the same women at times. Although you have grown divergent in your taste with growing a thing for blondes. Something I am glad for, aside from your minor indisgressions with my wife (something that I do still wish to dagger you for some days). Regardless, the point I am trying to make that no matter whom or what we do. You are my brother always Niklaus. Family above all.
There are no words in any language on this Earth to convey how much I regret your death. You were the brightest light in all of Moscow and it is because of me that your light was snuffed out prematurely. If I’m glad of anything, I am glad that you never had to see the monster your older sister had to become. You deserved so much better than me. All of Russia should have known and respected your name, and bowed in awe when you passed. I will always regret that this never came to pass.
You did not deserve to die so young, and if I could trade my life for yours, I would do it in an instant. If anyone deserved to live a thousand lifetimes, it was always you, not me, and I will spend the rest of my life carrying that burden.
There is nothing I can do or say that will bring you back, or that can redeem myself. If there were, I would have already done it, and you would be standing here instead of me. I loved you more than words could say, and there is nothing I can ever do to atone for my sins.
Missing you dearly,
Your sister,
Countess Natalya Dimitryevna Dunayevska,
Natalie

To my oldest friend ~
@originclhybrid
Niklaus,
You came into my life at a time when I was lost. After I left my home in Moscow, I spent nearly a century wandering Eastern and Central Europe, without a place to call home, or a single person to call my friend. If I believed in fate, I would say that is what brought us both to Budapest that faithful night nearly four hundred years ago, and I have never looked back.
When I met you so long ago I was wandering, with no sense of direction, ashamed of what I was. It was because of you that I began to embrace who I am, what I am, and for the first time in 100 years, I began to feel like I was living.
I know we haven’t kept in the most consistent contact throughout the past few hundred years, but we’re always able to pick back up as if no time at all has passed. I am overjoyed seeing you settled down with your lovely wife and sweet children, something I never could have foreseen. You have been given another chance to build a life you’d never had the opportunity to, and seeing you as a father almost gives me hope for myself.
To another four centuries,
Forever your friend,
Countess Natalya Dimitryevna Dunayevska,
Natalya Duke

To my first love~
Dear Iliya,
How unfortunate that things ended the way they did. You and I were set to live our happily ever after. Those few years you and I spent together were the closest I believe I am capable of coming to happiness.
There are days when I wish I had told you what had happened to me, why I left without saying goodbye. Some days I wish I had turned you, and that you were spending this eternity with me. Most days, I feel fortunate that you never saw what I became.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and of Andrey, and I believe I shall miss you until the end of my days.
My dear, dear Iliya, you deserved so much better than me.
