@klarolinepositivity This is a tribute to all my readers of The Big Bad Wolf and my many other fics for reviewer/reblogger appreciation day. 

Dear readers, you are awesome. You are beautiful human beings that I love and adore immensely. I treasure your comments, kudos and support so, so much and I absolutely wish you all the best in your lives, your aspirations and careers. I was only able to feature a few comments and readers in this edit, so here’s my special thanks to those I’ve missed. 

On tumblr, @purplesigebert​ @heatherstyles​ @enniec123 for their continued support, @frogs-are-bitchs for brightening my day with several memes she made for tbbw that were absolutely hilarious, and her continued reviews. @helpless-in-sleep for offering some kind praise as they slowly make their way through this monster, and @certifiedceraunophile for screaming in my ao3 inbox when they read tbbw’s prequel, The Little Wolf. @destellolunar for being one of my first commenters ever, something I am immensely grateful for to this day. @bellemorte180 for continuing to read my massive 15k chapters before I post, and for making the story its first edit way back last year that I certainly screamed over. And thank you @jen27ny​ for leaving a heart-shattering comment that brightened my morning recently, you have no idea how much it meant to me at the time.

On ao3, a big thank you to emi_mikaelson, MissPugLover24, Krstnfrcn0, Ferps and many other loyal readers I’m probably forgetting about who come back and review with each update. Thank you especially to amandamonroe, another loyal reader, who always leaves a comment, even when they go a back and reread, not necessarily when a new chapter comes out. They also once described Esther and Lycaon as “the Viking version of ‘the rich good girl who’s actually awful’ and ‘bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks with a heart of gold’” which is so fucking perfect I can’t. Thank you to whoseoks, Kibo_Ichiro and many others who left giant comments that made me cry a little, and so many more readers whose smaller comments left just as much as an impact.

All of you are A M A Z I N G. Don’t you damn well forget that. 

With my immense gratitude,

(and also slightly broken by your love)

Summary:

They just knew the moment their eyes locked and suddenly the full moon made sense. No longer was Caroline going to have to suffer through a heat with no partner to calm that urge; having refused to take another to her bed since the incident. No longer was she going to have to run wild through the woods, searching for the other half that was to belong to her; only to come up empty. Caroline always knew that one day she would find her mate.

She just never thought it would be Klaus Mikaelson.

Here’s a collection of some of my favourite moments in your various comments, and I’ll also offer you a blank check full of my eternal gratitude - I couldn’t decide on what gift to give you, so you pick, whether that be an edit for one of your fics, outtakes from tbbw or a perhaps a drabble request or something, the choice is yours. So truly, thank you so much ennie, for being such a bright presence in this fandom. You make me laugh, you make me cry, and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without you ✨❤️✨

Before I post the first set of edits for this collection, I want to thank @bellemorte180 and pay tribute to her especially. 

Erica, without you I wouldn’t have found the amazing community that comes with the Klaroline fandom. It was a year ago now, at the end of January, when I first left a comment on The Howling, asking whether you knew any beta readers in the fandom, hoping to find one for my new WIP at the time, The Big Bad Wolf. I approached you because I loved your works so much and admired your presence in this fandom, thinking you could help me. And not only did you offer to look over my first chapters yourself - and continue to do so to this day - but you invited me into the Klaroline discord server, where I met so many people and made so many friends. I really can’t express how much it meant to me, how much it still means to me now - especially back then, when I was going through my first year of university entirely online and alone due to covid, and struggled to meet new people as a result. The friends I made online were a lifeline during that time where I couldn’t meet people in person, and I truly can not express how grateful I am to you for giving me it. Without you, I wouldn’t have met @certifiedceraunophile who dragged me here onto tumblr, and so many others that I adore fiercely.

Just as my place in this fandom began with you, I find it only fitting that I start this new collection with you and with a tribute to The Howling. I realise I never truly expressed how much I love this fic, and need to rectify this immediately.
