"Klaus, Lucien bit me,“ Cami told him as she stepped into his office.

"Oh no, wait I have a cure for that, because I found it like 200 years ago and always wondered what it was for, drink it,” Klaus said with a smile.

“Thanks.”

—

Around 6 years later.

Klaus had spent Hope’s entire childhood with her and the family had always sticked together but now the Hollow was there.

“Ah don’t worry too much,” Freya said with a shrug, “I have this ancient spell book from Dahlia and I can just cast a spell to kill it. But I need Bonnie Bennett to help me because she is cool.”

Klaus and Elijah go to Mystic Falls.

“Bonnie can you help us?,” Klaus asked

“Sure thing,” Bonnie said with a smile. Bonnie and her husband Enzo who is very alive as an undead vampire who didn’t get killed, go to New Orleans together to help the Mikaelson family.

Freya and Bonnie kill the Hollow in five minutes.

“Oh that’s so great,” Elijah said

“Yea I am so happy,” Hayley responded.

“Let’s get married,” Elijah offered.

“Heck yea, Hope will be the flower girl,” Hayley said.

“Do I have to call Uncle Elijah dad now and dad Uncle Klaus?,” Hope asked innocently.

Everyone laughs happily because their life is perfect and they are so happy and because no one erased their memories or died. Klaus and Cami are still together and marry too. Oh and Rebekah is also there.

If the majority of people were taking issue with the way the ship's story is told (there are, admittedly, a lot of flashbacks if I remember correctly, and he does die in the end so there's that), I'd get it. But Enzo himself is also not well-liked as a love interest even though he is not much (if at all) different from more popular choices such as Klaus or Damon.

He has a British accent (like Klaus)

He is a toxic, white male vampire (like Klaus and Damon)

The actor is objectively attractive (like Joseph and Ian)

He has harmed Bonnie and her loved ones on several occasions (like Klaus and Damon)

He has had multiple love interests before he fell in love with Bonnie (like Klaus and Damon)

He is supposedly a better man because of Bonnie (like many fans claim would be/is the case with Klaus and Damon)

Bonnie Bennett always wins my heart.

1. Bonnie x Kol

This is my number one. Always. The potential is actually insane. I love the vibe he would bring into Bonnie’s life. Kol is chaotic in a way that just fits with her, and I feel like he would be completely gone for her the second they really meet her.

And the thing is, it wouldn’t even feel forced. He would want to be there. He would want to follow her lead, to learn her, to stay close to her. Bonnie wouldn’t even have to try that hard, it would just happen naturally.

Also, the witch and witch dynamic?? That’s one of my favorite parts. Them teaching each other different kinds of magic, showing each other things that were hidden or never passed down, getting into older, deeper magic together. I love that for them.

Kol is chaotic, unpredictable, and a little unhinged, and I love that energy for Bonnie. That is exactly the kind of dynamic I like for her. They will always be my favorite rare pair.

2. Bonnie x Kai (Bonkai)

This one has such a strong place in my heart. I love it. I love writing it, reading it, everything. The darkness, the tension, the villain energy

Kai would burn the world down for her, and I love that level of intensity. And Bonnie being someone who could stand in front of that and not fold?

I also love the idea of her showing him small, real things about the world that he never got to experience properly. There’s something there that could have been explored so much more.

And I’m still annoyed we didn’t get more of this dynamic, because there was real potential there.

3. Bonnie x Enzo (Bonenzo)

I really appreciate Bonnie and Enzo, and a big part of why I love them now is because they actually helped me learn how to write Bonnie in softer romantic dynamics. It gave me a reference point for how to write someone who consistently shows up for her, someone who chooses her and stays. When I was writing Bonnie, I needed an example of that kind of steady romantic energy, and they gave me that foundation. From there, I could branch out and build things from my own imagination, but they helped me understand how to shape that side of her relationships.

I also like the idea that Bonnie and Enzo had someone they could save each other with. There’s something about that mutual impact that sticks with me.

That being said, I’m aware of the context around the writing and the way their pairing came together. I didn’t like them at first at all. It felt forced to me, and it didn’t really make sense when it was introduced. Even now, it still feels a bit random in terms of how it was built.

But I can’t ignore that they had chemistry, and I do get why people were drawn to them. I don’t rank them super high emotionally, but I do give credit where it’s due because they genuinely helped shape how I write Bonnie in romantic dynamics now.

4. Bonnie x Damon

This doesn’t even need much explanation. They can do everything.

I’ve actually been getting into them more recently, like recently really getting into them, writing them, figuring out their dynamic and how I want to portray them. That’s part of why they’re sitting at four right now, because I’m still kind of building my connection to them. I can’t put them at the top yet when I’m just now diving into them like this.

Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, messy situationship, almost something that turns into everything… they can fit into so many different dynamics and still feel natural. That’s what makes them so fun to explore.

But I do love them. I’ve been writing them a lot, making sure everything feels right, really getting into how they interact, and I love their dynamic. Their friendship alone already gives so much to work with, and then when you start layering different tropes on top of that?? There’s so much range.

5. Bonnie x Klaus (Klonnie)

I cannot believe I almost forgot them!!!

The power dynamic here is everything. It is power meeting power in a way that feels impossible to ignore. Bonnie is powerful in her own right, Klaus is powerful in his own way, and neither of them would ever feel lesser than the other. That balance is what makes it so interesting.

I can genuinely see them ruling the world together, or it going the opposite direction where one of them tries to “domesticate” the other in some strange, intense way but even then, it would never feel weak or soft in a simple way. It would still feel sharp, controlled, and full of tension. Either direction works because of how strong they both are.

They also feel like two of the most intense, dangerous, and attractive characters in the entire Vampire Diaries universe, and putting them together just amplifies that. Their chemistry on screen was already strong enough that it could not be ignored, even with limited interaction.

That’s why I love them so much. It feels like something that could have been massive if it had ever been fully explore

6. Bonnie x Caroline x Elena (Poly / Bonlena / Bonline)

I cannot talk about Bonnie without mentioning them.

I love the idea of them in a relationship together. I’ve read Bonnie and Elena before and it’s so good, and adding Caroline just makes it even more interesting. I would honestly read so much of this if there was more of it.

7. Bonnie x Jeremy (Beremy)
