A03 updates on The Mikaelsons! Now this is also fully updated on both sites so starting next chapter, it's completely new content on all platforms.

Well, I am suuuuuper early for Historical Week of Klaroline Fanfic Week (7/6-7/12/26) @klarolinefanficweek! But, the post did say we could post sneak peeks! I mean, I think I'll be well and done with this plotline by the time July rolls around but I can always gather together all these chapters into a bulk post again then.

Current historical subplot: Oh crap, Kol Mikaelson gave her a necklace for Christmas that sent Caroline back to the palace of Versailles during the reign of France's the Sun King. And of course the first person she bumps into is Klaus... followed shortly by the rest of the Mikaelsons...

Preview:

“You are fortunate,” Rebekah said, pulling open a carved armoire, “that I am in Madame de Maintenon’s service. Here at court I am known as Mademoiselle Beaumont, maid of honor in the household of Madame de Maintenon," Rebekah explained with casual pride. "Françoise d'Aubigné runs this palace more shrewdly than half the ministers; her piety rules the kings' conscience and, through him, all of France. To serve under her leaves me close enough to the Sun King's ear to hear every secret worth hearing — and to be mistaken for virtuous while I drink it all in. And, to therefore possess gowns suitable for a miracle that fell from the heavens. Or from wherever you claim to have come. Rumors of your strange arrival amid Christmas Mass did spread."

“Not quite the heavens,” Caroline said under her breath. “More like the holiday season gone wrong.”

Rebekah’s laugh was a low chime. “Delightful. Every guest at court insists on being the first of their kind; why should you be different? Now, tell me what sort of trouble my brother has brought home.”

Caroline hesitated. “It’s complicated.”

“Complicated is my mother’s milk,” Rebekah said, looping a robe about herself and tying it with absent grace. “Start.”

So Caroline did, at least a version she judged survivable.  She told of an impossible future, a necklace from their brother Kol, of waking in the courtyards of Versailles — and of Klaus, that she loved him in a different century and he loved her in return. She left out the part about her relationships with the rest of the family. By the time she finished, Rebekah was half‑seated on a cushioned bench, head tilted, watching as if listening to an elaborate fiction.

“So,” Rebekah summarized, “you are wine from my brother’s future vintages, and apparently quite sure he did not invent you.”

Caroline shrugged helplessly. “It’s true. Well, except I’m aware that both of you had a hand in creating succubi.”

“How tiresome that truth and madness often share the same tailor.”

Her tone was bemused, yet not entirely dismissive. The faintest echo of something thoughtful lingered behind the sarcasm. "A succubus from tomorrow. Even at Versailles we have not staged that play yet."

Klaroline Fic Rec 2020 (Day 2 - All-Human) : Don’t Remember Me by AddriannaDestiny @klaroline-events

Summary: They were nothing but two strangers living together now. Power, money and everything that came with it changed him and she couldn't recognize the man she once loved in him anymore until one tragic night changed everything. Fate delivered them a second chance, she just didn't know if it would be enough.

Warnings: Unrequited CAROLIJAHHHHHH. Also, YOU WILL CRY. It’s very angsty and fluffy at the same time

Status: Complete (17/17)

Why you should read it:

I was debating whether to recommend this story under the ‘All-Human’ category or the ‘Angst’ category because this falls under both. But anyway, I’ve been raving on and on about this story multiple times on this blog before but I’ve never made a proper recommendation/review for it, so here goes!

If you’re a fan of unrequited Carolijah, you’ll certainly enjoy this one. Sorry if it’s a little bit of a spoiler, but it’s the thing that really stuck to me about this story. 

The plot of the story surrounds a married Klaus and Caroline, who are going through a very, very rough patch. Klaus has become a completely different person after finding fame and success, and they’ve both been distancing away from each other. Caroline has almost had enough when they get into a car accident and Klaus loses his memory. He wakes up with a second chance in life and this time, he’s going to make things right. 

Summary: When Caroline wakes up shackled, powerless and very far away from Mystic Falls, she knows she's in serious trouble. But when a woman named Sophie Deveraux reveals the reason why she's been kidnapped and taken to New Orleans, she realizes things are far worse than she could've ever imagined.[It's The Originals Season 1, but Caroline is a witch and she's pregnant with Klaus' child. That's it.]

S01E03: Tangled Up in Blue

"The plan to rescue Elijah," Caroline says. "You know, your good brother who's now in possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back."

The second she mentions Elijah's name, a shadow crosses Klaus' eyes. That light mood he had seemed to be in dissipates like smoke. Even her brother's posture changes, from laid back to uncomfortable. Rebekah isn't sure if it's the fact Klaus doesn't appreciate being called out on his bullshit or if he's simply jealous. Maybe both.

"It was in the front, if we're being specific," he quips. "You're very eager to get my brother back, aren't you, sweetheart? It seems you and Elijah became very close, very fast."

Her brother directs a sharp, dark smile at Caroline, who responds by placing both her hands on her hips, as though bracing herself for argument. Here we go, Rebekah thinks.

"You mean while he was trying to save my life while you ran around the city acting like you didn't care?"

When a muscle twitches on her brother' jaw, Rebekah knows it's time to cut in.

"Oh, enough with this! I think I prefer it when you two weren't talking," she snaps. It hasn't even been 48 hours since those two buffoons apparently decided to be on speaking terms again and all they seem to do with their truce is get up to speed with the bickering. It's driving her crazy. "Just get a room and get this over with. Or — actually, on second thought, maybe not. Last time you two got a room, this happened," she nods towards Caroline's oven. "We have more important issues to discuss right now."

Shoutout to @itsnotacrimetoloveyou for her patience and kind comments and for helping me make this story better! 

I kinda ship Carolijah, but more of a Klarolijah type deal. Though... yeah, I wouldn’t say no to fic. I wouldn’t want to see it in the show, because we’ve had more than enough women “shared” between brothers, thank you very much. However, I would devour fic, especially Klarolijah fic.

Do you get the sense I’m hinting to all my writer friends?

elijah: or until they split up amicably

klaus: ...

My favoritist crack threesome of all times (or at least in this particular show ‘verse) may be sharing a fucking screen.

klarolijah!!!

Elijah/Caroline/Klaus.
