So... I did a thing.
Here’s the overview: Katherine, Caroline, and Kol all meet on the other side. Thanks to Elena.
Kol comes in clutch with an old Fae ‘friend’ of his who rescues the lot before the veil crumbles into the void for good. The only stipulation is that Kol can only be revived by via reincarnation aka in newly revived human Katherine’s womb.... so 1) Katherine is Kol’s biological mom which I think I can do so much with.
2) because the Fae are crafty and the other side is sucked up, no one can revive them. They’ve been untouched and safe from the past, unaffected by magic (with no shortage of trying from Klaus and Bonnie), and believed wholesomely dead for good. For like 25 years.
3) Kol is a full warlock with a huge legacy that will come up. 3.5) He also has little to no memory of his past life and suffers migraines when memories of that time do surge ahead. Ignorance is bliss until it isn’t
4) Caroline is uber protective of the boy she raised. Katherine, too. Caroline is the fun but fierce vampire aunt. Katherine is the worrisome mortal mother who entrusts her son to Caroline and Caroline only. The three are hella bonded. (Cameo with Liz who totally deserved grandmother of the year award!)
5) Enter chaos when they are discovered alive and well by friends and foes of the past. Shit.
