Klaus Mikaelson and Caroline Forbes. On paper, they shouldn’t work, don’t have anything in common on the surface. THEY were the enemies to lovers standard. Not to mention good girl x bad boy, he fell first and fell harder, forbidden lovers, werewolf x vampire, and im fully convinced fated mates. Literally so perfect. Stefan was an obstacle, they never would have lasted tbh. Caroline always felt more like a Mikaelson than anything. Klaus and Caroline were both abandoned by their parents. They feel like outsiders. Perfectionists. Consuming desire to be loved. They are open books to each other. Rebekah and Silas clocked them early. I’ll even be generous and say Stefan realized pretty quickly. Damon might’ve been an ass but he could read people. I still can’t believe that Caroline and Elijah never shared a single scene. Like ???? Bc Kol is Kol he read Klaus to filth after just seeing Caroline walk in. Regardless, everyone could see it because on a deeply fundamental level, they were the same. Klaus encouraged Caroline to not only embrace vampirism, but to see the world differently. Caroline in turn saw through his villainous mask to the man. A thousand years to find each other just to lose each other. It’s beautifully tragic. Their almost was deeper than some long term relationships. They found each other’s broken pieces and put them back together. Saw the truth in each other. There was no one else who saw them as clearly as they saw each other. They would’ve made myths jealous.
