#kc plot bunny

Hey!!!I'm sorry your edit took a while but I just loved this prompt soooo much, it inspired me and put me to work with all the excitement I was missing for a long time. Thank you so much for the prompt <333 I had so much fun doing this I hope you like it too!

Here are some headcanons for the AU:

Klaus as hades is mythologically the deity under whose regime, gemstones and precious metal mined from the earth fall, soooo Klaus rocks a ton of jewelry in this au: He wears rings and bracelets and obviously his iconic necklaces, But my fixation here is his sexy artist hands + RINGS!!!! Like omg please He'd look so badass and hot I can't even.

Caroline in this au has tattoos!! of her favourite blooms and flowers. Like oof she's gonna look so freaking pretty with all that beautiful splash of colour and nature all over her skin like asdfghjkl *dreamy bisexual sigh*

Klaus rides a bike in this AU because so far unfortunately I have not come across a single Biker!Klaus au which is a goddamn shame if you ask me, so I just thought what if I just give me what me wants.

Klaus gives Caroline the prettiest jewelry allll the time and some times he stores a drop of water from the rivers that flow in his realm in them so that it echoes both the wails and screams of the dead and the eternal spring breeze of Elysium to remind Caroline of home when they're above the surface.

And the Plot Bunny I came up with:

Klaus in this AU does not kidnap Caroline or anything, their meet cute here is um... quite different:

~~

Klaus approaches Caroline with a job offer; He requires a pair of eyes and ears loyal to him amongst the Olympians, he requires a mole, if you will; he believes there is deceit rampant in the courts of Olympus, subterfuge that would attempt to overthrow him from his rightful place as King of the Underworld, so he enlists the Goddess of spring: Caroline to be his little double agent in their conspiracy. He chooses Caroline for plenty of pragmatic reasons: She was an overlooked and constantly underestimated minor goddess with a single-minded nearly unstoppable diligence for every task she uptakes. He once saw, rather felt, the shadowed little goddess quietly nursing this blooming thirst for power in her chest just as potent as her yearning for freedom with the same delicacy and purpose with which she tended to her flowers, and all he could see was how exquisitely Olympus would fall at his feet if he wielded her right; practically a perfect fit for the job if you ask him.

Her being the goddess of light, of spring, of everything that he is denied in his cold sunless Kingdom of eternal winters, only added to why she was the key to his machinations coming to life: no one would suspect even the slightest possibility of a connection between them.

But as they worked together, between all the clandestine meetings standing on opposite sides of the veil guarding the underworld, and the inconspicuous notes clasped in the talons of his ravens flying back and forth, her spring time breeze that she lends to his faultless little Elysium carrying her voice with an echo so sweet, tortured souls turn their heads in hope, he is reminded that even hell has a heart beating away, pumping and pulling it's fire and sulphur through his Kingdom; he is reminded that this heart is caged within his chest, a ferocious little thing thumping away harder than he has ever heard it before only to tell him: The heart wants Caroline just as the realm wants it's Queen.
