Maddeningly Unhelpful

Klonnie Alternative History: Bonnie’s sacrifice 

The pair eye one another, flames licking at their heels.  She tells herself to keep her gaze on him (only him) even though she has a strong urge to look over her shoulder to where her friends cower, clutching one another.

“It is a simple equation, love.”  His voice is soft against the harshness of their surroundings.  It wraps around her, lulls her in a way and for a moment she wonders if he has some witch in him.  “Your life for your friends.”

Bonnie hears Elena’s weakened cry against the idea but she pays it no mind.  She doesn’t need to think about it.  She has known what she is going to do from the moment she stepped into the circle.  Her magic wavers, wanting to lash out at him but knowing that it is not part of the deal.  There is no hot retort on her lips, no last minute negotiations. 

She merely nods her head.

Klaus’ smile is something to behold.  He lets out a breath and for the first time she realizes he thought she would say no (he does not yet fully understand the depths of her love for her Elena and Caroline).  She had some power over him and she let it slip through her fingers.  She watches as he moves towards her, her feet rooting themselves into the ground so she doesn’t let her fear take hold properly.  

She expects a swift end but instead he reaches forward to place a hand on her cheek, his thumb making small circles against her skin.  She stands there for a moment before her confusion becomes evident.  Her eyes question him.

“You think I was going to kill you?  You?  No, no, you’re much more valuable than that,” Klaus assures her with a small laugh.  “But our deal still stands — your life for theirs.”

It seems as though our numbers are dwindling and since I don’t really have the time I once had to create a beautiful graphic, here I am stepping out on faith with just my words to get the creative juices going. For those of you still out there with an interest and a need, I invite you to participate in Lazy Klonnie Week. Post those long forgotten WIPs, drabbles, head cannons, pics, ideas, anything Klonnie related. To keep with a theme, please see the below schedule.

master & apprentice parallels

gothic klonnie day two: red

“I could just make you…” he says languidly, voice low and insulting (but muffled) in her ears.  “…you are hardly in a position to fight back.”

That is true enough.  She can’t fight back.

gothic klonnie day three: green

From the very first moment he tastes her magic (painful as it is), he decides that he, and only he, will be the one to have her.  

Klaus is no fool.  He simply cannot pluck Bonnie Bennett from her life and force her into his.  She will never truly belong to him that way. 

gothic klonnie day four: purple 

During the day, they stay on their separate sides of the battlefield, eyeing one another with a healthy dose of wariness.  

But at night, oh at night…

They cross into no man’s land, a place where they can forget that hate should be the only emotion they feel. They twist together instinctually, hands and mouths fighting for control.  In the end, no one really knows who wins.

it’s that time of the year again! Halloween is almost upon us which means it’s almost time for Gothic Klonnie 2020 (29 oct - 1 nov) (this being a truly cursed year, which should give it an extra flavor, lol). if you want to celebrate with @irresistible-revolution and me and keep this small tradition alive, you are invited to post edits, gifsets, fanfics, playlists, or whatever you like in the #klonnie tag, but also under #gothic klonnie 2020.
