I'm so sorry but I was doing some research for a completely unrelated story and came across this and it instantly made me think about Elijah Mikaelson doing this. It just felt so.. wrong. Just.. Elijah Mikaelson, the classiest motherfucker I've ever seen, full stop, rolling up his sleeves in such an incredibly obnoxious and pretentious way. Ick! And this is coming from someone who has a thing for classy men rolling up their sleeves to get down and dirty in some way or another, cooking, smexy time, or (completely fictionally) a little hands-on correction (torture, murder, generally being a BAMF vampire menace.).

Thank God, this doesn't seem to be the norm. Could you imagine?

Nix Letha & Leif "Leo" Letha

Nix

Nix was the villages story teller, had been since they were old enough to, they'd joined the village when they was a little older, their mother getting them away from their mother when their father found out about their magic and seemed to went to kill them. Their mother got sick on the boat, she only survived until they got to Ayana, a friend who told her of the location. Like she was waiting to make sure Nix was safe.

As they grew up they learned to translate usual witchs magic with their own style of magic. But mostly, she found herself being distracted by one of the others in the village. And despite Ayana's comments, it took them time before they went to approach him, in the end though it was Elijah who approached Her.

It was perfect and it barely took time before they were married and starting a family together.

Leif

Leif was five when his father left, but even now with the chances to meet him again, he did NOT intend to see him again.

He grew up with the knowledge he couldn't use most of his magic because of his Grandmothers deal, he couldn't risk having a family because of the same deal. Which was a deal breaker for many women he had been with, though none of the men.

Starling hated her name.

It was some... reference to her grandmothers habits.

She was a little too aware that she was Dahlia's version of Revenge.

She was also far too aware of missing years. Going from barely six to sixteen immediately. She didn't feel like an adult, her mind still ran shakily trying to catch up, not really wanting to be... This. It was all hard enough as a child. Now Dahlia wanted her to Know Everything, wanted her to be ready to continue the family line. But all that had changed was her outside.

She didn't want to be... This.

Her life fell apart. Freya dragged her from a lake once and she Cried. Not because of the shock or pain of almost drowning. But because for a moment before Freya got her out, she felt peaceful. But she didn't tell Freya that, she just clung to her aunt and tried to press closer wishing she could just disappear.

.

When Freya found a love, when she was pregnant, she almost left her behind, and Starling is almost ashamed that she used that distraction as a chance to run.

The first thing she'd learned to make, her own little thing, was a compass, made magic and connected to her blood, and she followed it, she found her mothers line. It probably wasn't her best decision, but she mimicked a spell she'd seen Dahlia use, and the woman smiled and took her in.

She found the small cave, covered in paintings, she found her families names carved into it, and she made herself a place to sleep, to Stay until she could .. try and fix this. she'd find a way to stay with the family she was becoming attached to, even if she only got a year every few generations.

Until the 20th century and she found other witches who could help her the lady also helped her update her compass. She made a smaller one, she wore it around her neck for when she finally woke with no more sleeping spell. It was only a few years before her aunt and Auntie would wake, but she hoped this meant she wasn't connected anymore.

Starling relaxed as she found the Lockwoods, the name her mothers line had taken, again they had become more obviously... rich? Eccentric? She didn't really think too much about that, but she was happy to slip into the family, it seemed the spell from that first meeting had been a little different then she'd meant to, no body ever questioned her being there it was just "she's family" or other vague excuse, it had been the same with every generation.

With this Richard and Carol just seemed to place her into the 'child' role, and Tyler, their son, was only fifteen. So somehow she became a big sister, and she decided that was fine, she liked Tyler, he was fun, and he came with Friends!

[CW - Incest]

Emmeline always preferred Emmi.

Emmeline was only ever used by her parents. Mainly Pabbi, Dad was okay using Emmi or Em, but she didn't see him as much. Or Hayley, Mom, who she really only talked to over the phone, it was the same with Hope.

She grew up with Pabbi, in France, then they finally went home, and she lost her dad and Pabbi all at once.

She had Hayley, they saved her, she had Hope, thats who they died for.

But this isn't what she wanted, she really wanted Pabbi. She wanted Elijah, her Father, or even her dad. She really really wished she could have them back.

Although, she had Hope. And Hope seemed to cling to the same thing. She'd had her older sister, and she got incredibly used to Hope clinging to her, her claws gripping into her sides. She started to get used to leaning into it, and Hope started biting into her shoulder or her throat like she was desperate to be closer, to hold Tighter. Maybe Emmi should have been more annoyed about it then she was, maybe she should dissuade her, but instead she tilted her head to one side as soon as Hope leaned against her, even moved towards her and leant into her to all but cling back and Hope always enjoyed that, she got closer, hand moving through her hair, lips brushing her temple when Emmeline would initiate, and it felt all the sweeter for it.
