Current thought, trying to pull me away from writing-
Finn and Elijah Salvatore and Damon and Stefan Mikaelson.
Klaus still gets to be weird about Elijah and Stefan.
Sage still gets relationships with Finn and Damon.
Damon gets left in the coffin because he is actively risking them since he took Esther's betrayal in turning him Badly(What do you MEAN mother sided with his bastard father over him? Killed and changed him without telling him anything? And after years of being her right hand and keeping the truth about Freya?)
Stefan who had been extremely attached to Damon then shifts his full attention to his next closest brother, giving Klaus an enabler and Stefan the distraction from his belief he failed Damon because if help Klaus then he's not a failure, it was just Damon.
Ripper issues become events to go behind the red door.
Finn and Elijah's relationship is still as complicated as canon but at least they're somewhat commutating. Finn was far more involved in raising Elijah as projecting him from their father, leading him to be possessive and Elijah to be 'clingy'. He doesn't fall for Katherine, but is suspicious of her closeness to his brother leading her to compelling him anyway for fun.
Elijah did fall for her but his feelings for her vanish when he learns she used Finn.
Finn does resent Elijah for tricking him into transitioning and is well aware of his little brother's need for his attention so he uses a cold shoulders to punish him afterwards.
Which worked until Elijah turned his humanity off.
Elijah's a ripper who is barely holding onto the wagon while Finn's perfected 'no harm' vampirism much to Elijah envy.
