Fun meta asks meme - 3, 4, 19 :)
3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)
I'm sure I have other ideas lost in my fic folder for other stories, but the only thing that springs to mind is the scenes at the end of TOS3 when Klaus says goodbye to his family because he's going to "sacrifice" himself for God knows how long so that they can all have a chance and the beginning of S4, when he gets rescued and has to resettle at home and stuff. I remember while I was watching that about a year ago I came up with the WHOLE THING on how write all that and some other scenes to include and stuff and I thought OH!!!! but I really cannot be assed to rewrite TO s3 just to get there. lol
4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)
This is slightly more than a sentence or a paragraph. lol But:
"He is dreadfully reminded of why he spent such a long time loathing the prospect of ever developing foolish human feelings for another being. Why the people that have passed through his bed over the centuries have been nothing more than fleeting indulgences - too many and too insignificant to leave a dent in his unflappable armor. Life was infinitely easier before. At times, so quiet he could hear the rattling of his own solitude inside of him. But Klaus Mikaelson was afraid of nothing. He thrived amid chaos and destruction. Never wavered. Never hesitated. Anyone who dared to cross him was mercilessly crushed; anyone who would stand in his way got trampled over. Klaus was feared. Revered. A legend.
And then in had to come Caroline Forbes, with her smile like sunbeam, and her hair the color of wheat, and those eyes that are the exact shade of the cerulean blue he strived so hard to achieve with his paints and never quite did, the color of the infinite sky in Klaus' dreams. Caroline with the laughter that lights him up like firework. Caroline who dominates his every thought, his every breath and every heartbeat. Who held the pendulum of his insanity in her hands and became his place of calm, a beacon of peace in the never-ending turmoil of his soul.
Caroline, who gave him something to lose, therefore showing Klaus to a whole new depth of pain and fear like he'd never known before. A thousand years hiding under the shroud of eternity, using it as a shield against all manner of mundane afflictions, for a small-town beauty queen to make a face at him and cause the earth to buck under his feet.
Klaus suddenly missed the point of his own existence, only to find it hadn't been lost, but merely misplaced. It is now in her, the only thing that insists on eluding his control. There's irony in there somewhere, he's certain of it. Not that he finds it amusing, especially not in the mood he is in."
19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)
Oh, tons. Every time I'm writing or reading something I notice like a billion things I keep repeating. My writing if made entirely of repetitions, I think. lol I definitely have too many ways of describing a smile. Also I keep talking about "Caroline's light". It's lame lol
Thank you so much for your asks! ❤
