it is what it is

TVD & TO OC Masterlist.

Mikaelson & Co Masterlist 1, 2, 3.

Let's see how many he can get through before he gives up!

Starting off strong with Auðunn, he doesn't hesitate for a second to take Judas out. It's a little troubling how easy it is but also...... you like our evil dad so much.

I think he can force himself to kill Eira, Angela & Salome in quick succession if he's given the chance. Kol might be a little mad at him for it but there are bigger fish to fry. He's starting to get a little teary-eyed here but he's pushing through.

Finn is the brother they say he looks the most like outside of Kol, but he doesn't see it, and it's because he kills him with his eyes glazed over. Freya has to go next and then Elias because it's cruel to separate twins. (He doesn't like Eira and Elijah so they don't count!)

He keeps a mantra of Kol has to make it going in his head, and hopes that eventually there will be enough deaths to save who he really wants to save.

Aaron is probably now actively trying to kill Soren, but it doesn't matter. Soren takes a break to kill Meredith to despair Aaron to the point of not wanting to fight. It doesn't work but it does cause enough of a distraction that he can behead him. He takes a moment to bury him with Freya and Elias and Finn. His heart is growing heavy but his hands, slathered in the blood of his family, are just keeping their brutal pace.

Because he's wasted time, he knows he has to work much faster. He catches Dinah before long and apologizes right before he does it.

When he gets to Absalom, he asks him to do him a favor. Kill Tori, and he can stay with them.

(If Absalom does it, then Soren waits until after he kills the triplets. If Absalom doesn't do it, then he is who dies next, and then Tori).

Iliana has taken the triplets, Henrik, Dalla and Rebekah and tried to flee by now, for sure. Soren lets them, because he now has to focus all of his efforts on killing Delilah. If he were crueler, he'd use Atlas to do it, but he can't do that to him. It takes a great, great effort to kill her and by then he's losing steam. He needs something easy, and he feels awful that Bart is easy. He says something about seeing it coming and Soren bursts into tears and holds him while he kills him. The fire licks up Soren's arms and he keeps biting into the burns to keep himself from healing.

Klaus, Elijah and Lilah are probably teaming up to kill him by now but he's not above using Hope against them. Elijah dies first, and then Lilah throws herself on the pyre to save Klaus, who agrees to die if he swears that he will leave Idalia and Mianna alive to take care of Hope. Soren says he will.

I think he takes the time to explain the situation to Idalia and Mianna, and apologize profusely, and cry in their arms about it and swear, swear, that he will do everything in his power to make sure their souls don't go where Klaus' does.

He's dragging his feet. He's breaking his own bones. He let Lilah and Klaus both bite him on purpose before he killed them.

Dalla goes next, because she is nothing more than practice for the person he knows he might not be able to kill. He doesn't really apologize. He just says it has to be done.

Iliana is fully dedicated to flat out murdering Soren turbo evil style and probably tries to get Mikael to help her. Do I think Soren could beat Iliana and Mikael in a fight? No. Do I think Soren leaves a trail of bodies because they're following him now? Yes. He knows they're after him, so he makes it count.

Henrik is killed with mercy, a painless snap of the neck. Rebekah dies begging him not to. Tamar, Judith & Simeon die in that order. It's really only a matter of who he gets his hands on first for the last two, but he knew Tamar needed to go first.

He really, really, really does not want to kill Jo. He gets to her and he's hallucinating Atlas right next to her and he's crumbling, okay. He's begging her to understand, telling her he'll be better to Atlas, and just let him do this.

Miri/Kol

Miri/Atlas

Kol/Atlas

This was a mean day for us omfggggggg

Unfortunately, Soren is a firm believer in murder-suicide. The problem with Miri and Kol and Soren as a trio is that he is functionally the only real protector they both have. Miri cannot overpower anyone enough to firmly protect Kol and Kol cannot keep his will strong enough to always protect Miri, and killing one means that he will want to follow the one who died, therefore leaving the other on defenseless.

Miri vs Kol.

There are some factors that would go into this. Does Kol have Davina? If he does, then he will kill Miri and follow after her, and leave Kol with Davina and Atlas (who hopefully has Jo). If he doesn't, then it's a little more complicated. Kol wants to live. Clearly, so does Miri. She clawed her way back out of that hole, didn't she? Who is he to say which of them deserves it?

Could Miri live with herself if she lived in Kol's place?

No, he doesn't think she could. Kol could survive it, but she couldn't. Kol lives.

Miri vs Atlas.

Atlas would try to kill himself before it came down to this, and that would solidify Soren's choice in picking to save him. He will save him, and he will never be with him again. He deserves better than someone who would let one of his most beloveds die, doesn't he?

Kol vs Atlas.

Of the canon guys: She thinks Freya is dead. That leaves her with Finn, Klaus, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik. And honestly? She would pick Henrik. She can't stand the thought of Finn dying and not loving her. She can't. She can make him change his mind, she can. And Klaus is her baby and Rebekah is her heart and Kol is the only witch she knows who has treated her with unburdened kindness.

And Henrik is so young. This will be better for him. The end is not always the worst thing.

It's not necessarily that they aren't codependent, but when Eira exists, Elijah-Eira-Klaus exists exactly like that. She is a border between them and she is unwilling to budge an inch for either of them if they want to tear each other down, so her relationships teeter one way or another depending on which of her brothers you know better.

Elijah and Eira's brand of weirdness doesn't lie in codependency or grand gestures of love, tbh. It lies in Elijah deferring to Eira's judgment when it comes to Klaus and Eira allowing Elijah to control Rebekah the way he does. It lies in Eira stepping in to defend Elijah from anyone who tries to kick him while he's down, and Elijah building Eira up when she feels like a failure. For all intents and purposes, they are a unit just like koren are, but they function outwardly instead of inwardly.

They don't need to be around each other all the time, nor are they always on the same side. Eira was raised knowing she might die before all of her other siblings (Elijah was the stronger twin at birth), so she did her best to nurture them outside of what Mikael and Esther were teaching. Elijah did his best to teach them how to survive inside of those circumstance. What you can be sure of, however, is that they were both aiming for the safety of their siblings. Eira just believed their safety was also paramount to their happiness and Elijah believed it was paramount to them still breathing.

Is he wrong? No. Is she? Probably. Does he begrudge her for this? No.

For all intents and purposes, Soren's extreme concern over his and Kol's safety became a factor after they were turned into vampires because Kol was killed in front of him.

Prior to that, he was just a little obsessed with him. In the semi-normal, adoring, he's-my-other-half, my-world-revolves-around-us type of way. It's not unfounded, either. When they became vampires, Soren's more insane traits got highlighted and he realized as time went on that it might've been okay when they were human and they could mostly do what they wanted, but they were now on the run and danger was evident. And if they were the danger, then their brothers became dangerous to them.

It's less that Kol was never taking care of Soren and more that Soren is traumatized by watching Kol die and he never processes it in a healthy way (why would he? lame!)

But as humans? Kol used to drag him out of trouble when he landed himself there. He would show Soren spells and he was the most patient with Soren's eyesight. There was nothing Kol had that he didn't half with his twin brother, growing up. Food, magic, adventures, battles, praise, sorrow. It was curated between the two of them on a permanent feedback loop. He took care of Soren in a way that, to Soren, translates to the extent Soren would now do for him.

Were they as codependent before? Yeah, but they could be separated for periods of time and not go crazy about it. Kol is actually the more codependent between the two of them when they become vampires. It's parts that he knows Soren is the only one who truly, truly has his best interest at heart (unless Miri exists) and parts that he is also a little afraid that Soren can't handle himself without backup.

Soren never gets in situations on his own that he would need backup, but he likes when Kol feels needed.

It's not to say that Kol doesn't have his own trauma. When he woke up in transition, Soren was still dead for a little bit longer. He didn't feed until Soren woke up, and they shared that blood too. Kol's weakness comes in the form of still wanting approval and love from the others for both of them, when Soren doesn't care that much anymore, so he's more forgiving and Soren is not.

Your Mikaelsons HAVE to have a kid with a canon Mikaelson. Don't worry about which parts work for who, they can do it, 100%. Who are they picking? Do florias pairings as a bonus. (And yes I did copy/paste your ask.)

Aaron — Freya, 100%. Does not cross his mind to consider someone else. (Florias: Dinah. This is cruel of him to do but he wants her as a bride).

Eira — Klaus wants it to be him really bad but she probably actually picks Mikael. Her logic is insane and twisted, but she knows how to raise a child of Mikael. She's never dealt with a niece/nephew. (Florias: Elias but he never gets custody and she does it because she knows he wants it).

Angela — Elijah. Omfgggggggggg. Give her his baby. (Florias: Absalom! She would make Elijah the stepdad).

Lilah — Finn. He is not interested in it so she can raise it on her own. (Florias: Bart!! Second option would've been Simeon but she would feel bad about it)

Mianna — Klaus (kill her). (Florias: Idalia! Do it to her!)

Soren — Rebekah but for all intents and purposes, he's a deadbeat unless Kol wants that baby. (Florias: MIRI!)

Iliana — If Dahlia counts, her. If not, then Henrik. (Florias: She's probably still picking Henrik, but she wants it to be twins and she wants Tamar to carry one and Dalla to carry the other). <3

The correct answer is my OC, David.

Ways to Say I Love You + As A Goodbye

....

Kol is still raging against Elijah and Klaus and Finn— it takes all three of them to pin him down before he can go after Rebekah.

Rebekah is a sobbing mess herself, strands of dark brown hair slipping through her fingers. Hair that belonged to Soren, that came away with her fingers when she dared to card careful fingers through his hair. An attempt at comfort, the only time she's been able to get near him since he became human.

Now, the fingers in his hair are Miriam's. Eyes that watched over him in childhood, that followed his every move in the beginning of the end of the world, are now devoid of emotion and wet and glassy all at once.

They've been like that since Amara — a doppelganger, one that Finn and Sage had been keeping track of before Damon tried to kill someone, Soren can't remember who, nor can he remember what exactly Damon looks like anymore, not since Atlas tore him limb from limb — cut his neck open and lapped at the blood that spilled out.

Ready to cry, with no tears coming out.

Soren's eyesight has gone since becoming human, a fact advertised because they forced them to adorn glasses. He rebelled against it at every given chance, but now, he misses them.

Miriam's silhouette brings him comfort, but he wants to see her face. His bones are fragile now, breaking easily, and his mouth is dry and his hearing is coming and going, and old scars and breaks are coming back to haunt him at the moment, and Kol is screeching, shouting for help. His knees won't work, his legs have given out. Atlas is in a heap on the floor, neck snapped so brutally by Rebekah for killing Stefan that Soren's last act before he collapsed was to throw her halfway across the room, so help is not coming.

Soren cannot get up and help him. He can't move. He is dying, here in the arms of his wife, while his husband and brother aren't able to get to him. Miriam will be stained with his blood by the time she gets up.

Still.

He is selfish. He is dying, and he is allowed, this one time, to be happy she's chosen him over Kol.

There are eight hundred years worth of things he has to tell her, but while he lays dying, and becomes a bag of broken bones and lost thoughts underneath her, there is only one poingant enough. One that he wants her to keep for herself, and pass on all at once.

GENERATION 1:

Helga — Mikael & Sigurd's sister, born between them. She was raised to take care of her brothers, a function she serves well for the rest of her natural life. In most variations of the story where Helga exists, Angela is her daughter with Mikael, who she willingly gave up to Mikael and Esther. Esther begged her for her help to reignite a spark in Mikael, one that would bring a gentleness Helga herself never knew back, and she got it. (Typically 'dies' when they became vampires, but in some stories, she is the only vampire Mikael turns. Main Love Interest undecided, but she does like pretty much everyone in this generation. I consider Runa to be canon to her story).

Sigurd — Mikael's barely younger brother, around three to four years his junior. He and his brother were thick as thieves and valued each other in life and in fights. He's a little unhealthily attached to him. When Mikael married Esther, it spurned Sigurd and turned him hateful for a bit. Later, though, he marries Adinah (out of spite, turned actual affection) and has two children with her. He almost dies after going on a raid but makes it back home to see his wife and children have disappeared, and Henrik died. In the following months, he's turned alongside his brother's family. (Original Vampire. Still married to Adinah, who he believes has died. Considered a brother to @icarusofathousanddays' Runa as well).

Adinah — The youngest sister of Dahlia and Esther. She used to be the troublesome one of them until they began to fracture, and she reformed to a peacemaker. Adinah refused to speak an opinion on Mikael/Esther, but she seemingly chose sides with Esther after she married Mikael's brothers, Sigurd. Yet, after Sigurd takes too long to return from his journey, she takes her children to find Dahlia, and narrowly misses being turned. (Witch. Dahlia finds out about them being vampires and ties her life to Sigurd's, unwilling to lose her. She also, tragically, ties them together romantically forever).

Aeryn — The mother of Mikael's first child, the infamous Aaron. She was captured before the sisterhood trio, although her time overlaps with theirs. She gave birth a short year before Mikael chose to marry Esther, and raised him alongside the DEA trio. When Mikael decided to take Esther and split away to settle his own family down, Aeryn sent Aaron with him, hoping he would have a better chance of survival. She remained with the group until it was just her and Dahlia left, and traveled (plus fell in love) with her until Dahlia left and came back with her son. It triggered a breakdown for her and she was never quite the same. (Dahlia is her main love interest. She was included in Dahlia's century spell, but she functionally gave up her magic to funnel it into Aaron's brand of immortality. Witch, technically).

Eivor — Aeryn's older brother. He was gone when she was taken and has spent most of his adult life searching to get her back. He does eventually manage to come in contact with Dahlia, who uses him as a base for her daughter. After that, she erases his memory and discards him into the world. (Vampire. He ends up being Kol's first sire one day and remembers everything after).

Lorna — Ansel's second wife. I usually give him another fridged dead wife who came before her, who he married very young and then remarried Lorna. She's the mother of Augustus, Nathaniel and Amelia, who are Klaus' half siblings. She is almost killed by Mikael, and barely saved by Ayanna. Mikael kidnaps her when he takes Ayanna following Esther's death, and uses her as a punching bag for the most part. In stories that center on her, Mikael has also taken Tatia's child and given her to Lorna to raise, so she gets another baby. She and Ayanna raise them until Ayanna dies and then Mikael rips them away. (What she ends up being depends on how far in the story I like to let her life. Sometimes she's human, and ends up a vampire turned by Sage. Sometimes she's a wolf and dies fighting Mikael. Unfortunately, her main love interests are Ansel, Mikael and Ayanna, none of whom ever have a good time about it.)

GENERATION 2: Don't talk about how many there are. In order of age. Keep notice of the differences in parentage because they do NOT all have the same parents!

Aaron — The eldest son of Mikael and Aeryn. Following the birth of Freya and Finn, and Dahlia coming for Freya, Esther attempted to offer Aaron in Freya's place. Seeing as how he was eight at the time, to Freya's five and Finn's four, he remembers it clearly. Realizing she wouldn't be able to keep him quiet the same way she did Finn, Esther instead bartered with him that he go to protect Freya until Mikael came for them, effectively sending two of her children off. Dahlia used Aaron solely as a balm to keep Aeryn & Freya both 'sane', leading the two down a codependent path, but one more manageable for Dahlia and Aeryn. When it came time for their immortality, however, she deemed him no longer necessary. It is Freya who panics and teleports him away when it's time for Dahlia to kill him. It is Aeryn who graces him with a fool's immorality. (Warlock. Main Love Interest is Meredith Fell).

Brynhilda — The daughter of Dahlia and Aeryn (Eivor is used as the other part, but she's functionally their daughter). Dahlia carried her to curate her magic well as she was supposed to be the firstborn of the next generation. Her existence tipped Dahlia off to Freya. Things went well, after that. Truly. She was born shortly after Finn, so she was four when Dahlia brought home Freya and Aaron. (Witch. Stripped of her immortality when Dahlia died. Main Love Interest is Jackson Kenner).

Augustus — Ansel and Lorna's son. It's rare I let him, Nathan and Amelia live all at the same time but they technically all exist in each other's stories. August was killed by Mikael during his rampage, and remained dead for a thousand years. Esther resurrected him when she was tapped into the Bennett bloodline, planning to use him as the original to kill her children (#poetic) but it didn't go well. He has to figure things out and fast, before Klaus and those other sons of Mikael go crazy. (Main Love Interest is Hayley Marshall. Werewolf).

Eira — My obligatory twin sister of Elijah. She exists as a shield between Klaus and Elijah, and often times, their relationship is 50% less enmeshed with her nurturing Klaus and holding Elijah to his word. Unfortunately, this means Klaus is a little obsessed with her, and she's pretending not to notice while using it to micromanage the family. Esther daughters, rise up! She has very specifically never sired a vampire. (Original Vampire. Main Love Interest is Enzo St. John).

Nathaniel — Not his real name, but don't focus on that. The younger brother of August, older brother of Klaus and Amelia (& Lilah/Mianna/Idalia when they exist), and second son of Ansel and Lorna. He is the sibling who lives, usually, and he exists very heavily in Lilah's story. He's the first non-original hybrid to be created, through a series of accidents, and he is forced to go on the run so Mikael doesn't realize he's not dead. First ever sired vampire in his main stories and first living hybrid who isn't a Mikaelson (but close enough!). Lilah compelled him to never disclose his status so she's forcing some psychological issues on him. (Main Love Interest is Rowena Claire, of my own fame. Hybrid).

Angela — A sister born to Mikael and his own sister, two years Elijah's junior. Mikael and Esther 'adopted' her after Mikael "found her" screaming in the village, but all three of her parents know what actually happened. She was born having visions, only truly triggered and big enough to realize after she was turned. She dedicates herself to living her life freely, prioritizing Elijah and Kol over all, and having an aching wound where she wants her father back in her life, but doesn't want Klaus dead. She usually always has a daughter in the stories she's in. (Original Vampire, for a time. Main Love Interest is Stefan Salvatore, but no doppelganger is safe).

Delilah (tagged as Lilah on this blog) — Esther and Ansel's daughter, born a year before Klaus. The daughter is adored while the son is loathed. It does nothing to pull them apart. For every hit that lands on Klaus is another notch pulling Delilah away from Mikael. It doesn't make him kinder, nor does it make Klaus softer. It only hardens her into a sword-wielding warrior who stubbornly trains Klaus every day until they can beat their siblings, and one day, their father. Only. . . she goes too far and steals the life of someone before any of her brothers die, leading Mikael to realize Esther's infidelity before they turn. On a dime, the roles have reversed. The daughter is loathed, discarded, and the son is adored. And still, it is a brother's death that drives them into becoming originals. Or in Delilah's case, a hybrid. And now she has to cope with Elijah's death and keep Klaus from going out of his mind, watching her younger siblings grow further away in an effort to keep them safe. (Original Hybrid. Main Love Interest is Damon Salvatore).

Mianna — Exists with @icarusofathousanddays' Idalia, as the triplet sisters of Klaus. Her life is a nightmare, and her greatest ally is someone who is being put through the horrors with her. Klaus and Elijah refuse to stop being weird about her and her triplet, and it means they are never allowed to thrive on their own. It also means that they keep attracting Klelijah's brides to fall in love with them, too. She mercy kills Katherine, which triggers her wolf gene, too late into the game. (Original Hybrid. Main Love Interest is Idalia).

Talisa — The daughter of Sigurd and Adinah, born maybe nine months after Klaus. She's raised alongside her cousins until her mother takes her and her brother to Dahlia, and misses Henrik's death, funeral and the original tag-along dinner. She misses her father dearly, and starts doing human sacrifices to try to find him. Dahlia doesn't really mind, but Adinah does. She and Magnus aren't allowed to be real immortals, because Dahlia is still mad they come from Sigurd. Instead, Talisa is tied to a constellation and her immortality functions that way. It works out well when she finds another immortal, locked away, and takes her for herself. (Witch. Main Love Interest is undecided).

Amelia — Also not her real name. Don't worry about her, okay? She's the youngest child of Ansel and Lorna, and one of the younger siblings of all of Ansel's kids, bastard or otherwise. She is neck and neck with Koren age wise. Where one brother dies and she believes another one does as well, Amelia is sent tumbling through the future on her own two feet when Mikael attempts to kill her, an unstable loop that sends her somewhere else every time she has a run in with someone who shares her blood, be it Klaus or Nathan. She is sent bouncing around through time until Klaus breaks his curse and breaks hers too. (Main Love Interest is Malachai Parker).

Soren — Kol's younger twin brother. Slightly more reasonable, until it comes until the safety of himself and his brother (And Miri). He and Kol are planning to run away with Rebekah and Henrik (and everyone younger than them, essentially) shortly before Henrik dies. Then everything goes to hell. Frick and Frack are known historians, liars and maniacs about each other and a variety of other things. Kol gets daggered less, but he goes down hard each time, now, with someone fighting on his side. Is it enough to stand against Silas? (Original Vampire. Main Love Interest is Atlas Sloan).

Iliana — The sister born between Rebekah and Henrik. Iliana was born sick, nearly dying, and in her desperation, Esther drew on dark magic to keep her alive. If you let her explain it, she pulled on the power of the blood moon, imbuing her daughter with enough magic to survive. If you let Iliana explain it, she used blood sacrifices. Either way, she lives. In one version of her story, Henrik dies, and she becomes the most feared of her siblings. In another, he lives, and she gets locked away with heretics. In both, she keeps her magic, connected to her very soul. In every version, she is unable to sire vampires. (Original Witch-Vampire Hybrid. Main Love Interests are Elena Gilbert, Nora Hildegard and Mary Louise).

Henrik — Not an oc but he kinda is. Always a dutiful little brother. There are various aus for him in my head, but the main ones fall into three categories. ONE, he dies and Klaus' ritual is used to resurrect him. TWO, and the one I play in the most; after the collapse of the other side, he's resurrected & sent traveling through time with a companion (Bonnie). THREE, he lives and becomes a menace, usually in Lilah's story or any story where Iliana gets locked away. (Main Love Interest is Bonnie, and Flora's Agnes).

Magnus — The son of Adinah and Sigurd. His story is the same as Talisa's, up until the point of her doing blood sacrifices. He doesn't do all of that. He and Henrik have a deep bond and he feels it when he dies, so he goes into shock and basically goes mute until it's their turn to bathe in immortality. He instead kills himself, rather than living without his father and his cousin, but he is not allowed. Dahlia resurrects him with a grand massacre. Magnus becomes a different shade of immortality, more akin to Rayna Cruz'. For each life given to resurrect him, he has another lifespan to go through if he dies. (Main Love Interests are Liv and Luke Parker).

Astoria — Baby Mikaelson Sister. She was five when Henrik died, far too young to be turned, leaving her to be 'raised' by Finn and Sage until Kol, training her to use her magic, accidentally kills her after attempting to defend them both against enemies. Believed to be an original by most of the world, but known to be a runner by her family. (Main Love Interest is Jeremy Gilbert).

SPOUSES — Characters I've created who end up together or otherwise married to my, or the canon, Mikaelsons.

Atticus Rolfe — He has a published story but I want to rework it so shh. Originally named Tobias, Atticus was raised with a brother and sister semi-peacefully until he met Rebekah and Kol Mikaelson. Rebekah lured him to Kol, who with Klaus' permission, turned him into a test subject. Kol was interested in the differences in their blood, and Atticus was one of his last test subjects before they had to flee and burn down his work. He died in the fire and came out a vampire, but has no clue which sireline he hails from. He spends the next thousand years avoiding Mikaelsons, helping Sage train her devotees, having hate-team ups with Lucien and adopting kids on and off. (Vampire. Main Love Interest is Elijah Mikaelson).

Melissa Romero — one of my Klaus brides, the main one, who gets to kiss Vivi too. She started in Angela's story and quickly became a Klaus bride in all of them. She hails from New York, with a load of half siblings on her father's side and her mother's, and is best friends with Angela or Rowena, depending on the story, sometimes both. She is the first person to volunteer to be a hybrid to Klaus, intending to have her siblings follow suit, and sticks by him. Even when she really should leave. For better or for worse, whether it's just them or it's Vivi and a couple of others, too, their vow is the truest thing they've ever said to another person. Is that really saying much? (Werewolf turned hybrid. Main Love Interest is Klaus Mikaelson).

Atlas Sloan — Once married to a woman he can't remember, Atlas Sloan now identifies as the functional third to Kol and Soren's dynamic. Kol's best friend, and Soren's greatest love, he is privy to something that others would run away from and relishes in it. He runs when he's told to, comes back when called, and never falters in his devotion to his guys. In his human life, he was happily married and fell to his death, having been slipped vampire blood twenty three hours before. He lost his memories in the fall and as far as he's concerned, Soren is his oldest and longest love. He'll do what it takes to keep them safe, but it's getting harder to ignore the fact Soren's going to one day throw his life away for one of theirs. A hopeless romantic, who keeps gaining suitors and admirers who would probably throw the world away for him, but he likes the one with the twin brother attached. (Vampire. Main Love Interest is Soren Mikaelson and all of Flora's Atlas kissers, especially Jo).
