This week's edition is from the follow up to my amnesia Elijah fic. The series will tentatively be called screen violence. In keeping with tradition, the violence will largely be emotional.
Set loosely after the end of TO, Caroline has asked Klaus for help with saving Josie and Lizzie from the Merge.
The phone only rang for a moment before Kol came on the screen. Klaus moved so that he could fit Caroline in frame as well.
“Nik, what—oh, hello, darling.”
“Hi, Kol.” She waved and then broke off awkwardly.
“Now, Caroline, if Nik and ‘Lijah are not enough to satisfy you, I’m afraid you’ll have to look elsewhere because I am quite spoken for—“
“Kol.”
Caroline laughed. A decade ago she might have been embarrassed by Kol’s innuendo, but she was well past 30 now and had several of those years raising teenagers. Her girls might only be twelve, but the school covered all grades. She nearly made a comment about Hayley being the one he needed to watch out for before remembering.
“Your virtue is safe. I would never throw an orgy on campus. Ric’s barely holding it together with Elijah in his business as it is.”
Kol laughed, startled but delighted.
“Well, aren’t you grown up. What can I do for you, Mistress Caroline?”
There was no spin of innuendo in his voice that time, so she went with it.
“Klaus said you had researched the Gemini Coven and might be able to tell me about the Merge. My girls—“
“Are Gemini twins, yes. Has the coven been bothering you again? I thought they were rather hunted to extinction.”
Is it easier when you don't have to count to ten?
When you don't have to pretend?
I want to know that feeling
Is it easier when you don't have to start again?
When you don't want to make amends?
I want to know that feeling
It's been 4 years since Screen Violence was released! An era and album I'll remember for a lifetime! I can't believe it's been that long, feels like yesterday!
"Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down!
We will never escape this town!
I wasn't scared when he caught me, look what it taught me!
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound!
I will never escape these doubts!
I wasn't dead when they found me, watch as they pull me down!"

"How Not to Drown" - CHVRCHES feat. Robert Smith of The Cure
The Just Look My Way MV heavily inspired this one, though not sure if I should add a TW for this because of it but I don't see much of an issue with it since it has no swearing in it. Don't tell Twitter that otherwise they'll have a fit. Anyway go listen to Screen Violence by CHVRCHES it's a really good album.
if y'all were so thirsty for a horror pop album with dark twisty lyrics about the psychic toll of being a public figure/woman/celebrity why didn't u say so??? Screen Violence by CHVRCHES (2021)
