Klaus mikaelson x reader - pride aside
Tumblr media
A/N: this is based on a dream I had last night ngl but like I changed it a bit
Seeing everyone at the ball dancing and laughing was great, but it hurt you a little bit.
Sitting on the stairs, you sighed softly and leant back on your hands as you tilted your head up to look at the sky instead.
“Not one for dancing?” A smooth voice asked.
You looked to your side to see Klaus stood there with some random girl attached to his arm.
“No one to dance with.” You shrugged.
“Come on now, I’m sure there’s a guy who’s just as lonely.”
With that, he smiled and walked away and you clenched your jaw in frustration.
That hurt, deeply. Is that how he saw you? Lonely?
Is that how everyone saw you? Just the lonely person that couldn’t find a date to a stupid ball you’d been waiting to attend since last year?
You only came back so you could help Bonnie practice some new spells, it’s the only reason you came to mystic falls again. You were happy at your families home a few states over.
Getting up, you made your way to the main doors and you slipped out and headed back home to throw on some more comfortable clothes and went straight to bed.
The next day, you were met with knocking on your door, so, with a small sigh of you walked over and unlocked it, letting everyone trickle in.
“When did you get home?” Damon asked, “I was supposed to bring you back.”
“Yeah, I left early.” You smiled.
“Are you okay?” Caroline frowned.
You nodded and smiled a little more, trying to force it as much as possible.
“Yeah, I was just tired was all.”
“She was sad and lonely.” Klaus mused.
You glared at him.
“Leave her alone Niklaus.” Elijah sighed.
“It’s true though, right love? You were lonely because no one wanted to dance with you.”
“Klaus!” Stefan snapped.
They bickered for a few moments and you decided to just ignore them.
“Oh come on! No one was desperate enough to ask her to dance! That’s why she left!” Klaus snapped.
And you snapped.
Raising your hand, you pinned him to the wall.
“(Y/N)!” Jeremy yelled.
You raised your other hand, gesturing for them all to be quiet as you locked eyes with the original hybrid.
“You know what Klaus, I’ve tried! I have tried to be nice, tried to be patient and understanding with you while all of this shit is going down. I have tried to protect you and Elijah as well as everyone else so you can all bring down the stupid ass witch that’s trying to destroy this whole place! But I’ve had enough!”
You swiped your hand to the side and sent in flying into some furniture.
“I have tried time and time again with you! And I’m done! I’m sick and tired of all of this, being ridiculed because unlike everyone else I don’t have anyone by my side to protect me! Because the one person I want to protect me is a pretentious dickhead who only cares about himself!”
You stared at him, and his hands covered his ears as he groaned in pain and no one dared to stop you.
“I’m done with you Klaus Mikaelson, and you know what? You’re going to die alone because you clearly can’t tell when someone loves you! At least I’ll be able to find someone unlike you.” You snarled.
Grabbing your car keys you made a gesture with you hands and a light blue barrier appeared in front of the doorway, blocking them all in.
“I can’t believe I was stupid enough to fall in love with you. I hope you get staked.”
Everyone begged you to let them go and you shook your head.
“It’ll fade in a few hours, don’t follow me.”
With that, you left and sped away from the town with fury burning through your veins and sadness dee0 within your soul.
How you even fell for him was beyond you but you hated it, you wanted to just go back and move on, find someone knew who would actually love you and care for you.
You were going to go home, and forget all about mystic falls.
You were done with that place and the memories it had.
Racing down a background, you mumbled out a spell and watched as a portal appeared in the middle of the road and you drove through it, driving up a dirt driveway.
Parking your car, you got out and walked up to the large house, kneeling in front of your porch you placed a hand on the ground and whispered a spell.
To stop them from being able to track you.
Then you whispered out another, watching as blue borders appeared around the edge of the place.
Any humans who didn’t know about the supernatural would just appear on the other side, and that do know or any supernaturals won’t be able to get in without your explicit permission.
With that, you walked inside.
“Back so soon?” You dad asked.
“I’m done with that place.”
“Is that why you warded the place?” Your mom asked, arms crossed over her chest.
You looked up at her and gave a small shrug.
“I’m taking precautions. I don’t want them to come near or find this place.”
“What happened?” You dad sighed.
You simply shook your head at them and went upstairs, hoping a bath would help erase some of the stress from the day.
For the next week your phone was blowing up with texts and calls, but the only person you would respond to was Bonnie, since you had a promise to keep.
Sitting on the front steps, you had your laptop on your lap as you spoke with her.
“Spells aren’t always about the words bonnie, you can still practice magic without reciting like you know. It’s not about who’s been doing it the longest, it’s about willpower. As long as you’re willing to protect, nature will provide.”
“We need the barrier spell you use, it’s the only way we can trap her.”
You sighed, running a hand through your hair.
“Bonnie.. that’s a spell my family created years ago to trap vampires.”
“Will it work for other witches?”
“It worked on you right?” You smirked slightly.
She laughed and nodded her head.
“I’ll teach it to you, but I’ll need you to come here.”
“And where is here?” She asked.
“Simple, turn around.”
You hung up and stood up, making your way down the steps, you opened a portal and waved her through it.
She was unsure at first but she slowly stepped through in amazement.
“Another spell my family made. But it can only be open for a few seconds.”
“Why?” She asked.
You closed it and turned to her.
“Essentially we’re cutting a hole in time and space, allowing us to move from one place to another. We can open it as often as we want, but we can’t have it open too long otherwise we’ll loose control.”
“Is thag how you got here so fast? Where is here?”
“In the middle of nowhere lovely, everything here is run by magic.” Your mom smiled.
She greeted Bonnie with a hug and handed you the family grimour.
“Teach her everything she needs.”
“Of course mom.”
“We’re heading out on business, but you know what to do.” Your dad smiled.
Nodded, you waved them off and you got to work.
Over the following week you had Bonnie practice trying to break out the barrier you put around her, but she couldn’t even crack it.
“It’s all about having nature on your side, you try.”
Bonnie recited the spell, a barrier appeared around you, and she smiled happily.
You gave a light knock on it and hummed with a small hug.
“Quite sturdy, I think you’ll be able to trap her.”
“I just need to keep practicing, right?”
“Yeah.”
“How do I bring it down?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that.”
Placing your hand on it, it shattered and you beamed and it.
That’s when you felt it, a disturbance at the far end of the one you set up, and you turned in its direction.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“Someone is here.”
“Want me to come?”
“Yes please, I may need your help.”
Opening a portal, you both jogged through and down the hill to the end of the barrier, but as you got closer you could see who it was and all you did was sigh.
“Klaus?” Bonnie asked.
His head shot up.
“Leave this place. I don’t know how you found it but you’re not invited.”
“Not until we talk.” He said.
“We’ve got nothing to talk about.”
“I’ll stay here if I have to, but I’m not leaving until we talk.”
“Bonnie you can head back, remember what I taught you?”
“Yeah. I’ll get dinner ready.”
Smiling thanks, you waited for her to leave before turning back to the hybrid.
You walked over and stood right in front of him, arms crossed over your chest.
“What do you want?”
He stepped back and held out his hand with a small smile on his lips.
“Dance with me?” He asked.
“Excuse me?”
“Dance with me.” He repeated.
“I thought no one was desperate enough to ask.” You snapped.
He flinched back slightly and sighed, letting his hand fall back to his head.
“No one is. But I am.”
“You’re desperate?”
“Yes. In fact, I’m desperate for you love. I want you, actually, rather, I need you. So no one may be desperate enough to ask, but I’m glad they’re not, since I’m desperate and perhaps foolish enough to ask after what I ask and did to you.”
“You’re right, you are foolish. Get away from my house.”
You started to walk away.
“What can I do to prove it?” He called.
You scoffed.
“Maybe if you got on your knees and beg mikaelson.”
His pride and ego was too big to let him to that. You were waiting for some sarky comment or an angry remark.
“If that’s what it takes.”
In shock, you turned around.
His eyes locked with yours as he slowly got down on his knees, hands in his lap as he stared at you.
“Here I kneel, my pride aside, for you. So I can tell you that I do in fact love you, but I wasn’t aware you felt the same, I didn’t want you to get hurt, and in the process I hurt you, and I never meant to. I will stay here all night if you wanted me to. If you told me to stay here I would, if you told me to walk to the ends of the earth for you I would.”
You were speechless, you didn’t think he’d actually get on his knees, you didn’t think he was capable of saying anything nice.
Staring at him for a few seconds, you walked a little closer.
“If you want me to beg for you then fine. I am begging you (Y/N), right here and now, to say you love me.”
He stayed on his knees and never moved and inch.
Turning around, you stared walking again.
You heard Klaus sigh, and mumble something about leaving you alone.
“Come on.” You called.
“Excuse me?” He asked.
“Come on.”
You stopped and turned to face him.
He was unsure at first, and he placed his hand on the barrier to show he couldn’t but he stumbled through it, and within a second he was right in front of you, your face between his hands.
“I will love you from now until the end of my life.” He whispered.
Leaning down, he softly kissed you and you quickly responded, arms going around his neck to pull him closer.
Klaus pulled away first, kissing your nose and forehead, before he smiled softly down at you.
“I’m sorry I didn’t dance with you.” He whispered, “and I’m sorry for everything I did and said.”
“I won’t forgive you so easily, but you can start making it up to me.”
“Anything sweetheart.” He smiled.
You nodded and took his hand in yours, opening a portal to take you both back to the house were Bonnie was waiting outside with a small smile on her face when you guys approached.
Klaus looked at you, and he couldn’t help but smile.
He hurt you, yes, but he was going to do anything he could, anything you asked to make it up to you. Even if it meant getting on his knees for the whole world to see and begging for your forgiveness

Feeling Good
Once upon a crisp winter evening, you arrived home, the familiar scent of pine and cinnamon greeting her as she stepped through the door. The house was a symphony of twinkling lights, festive wreaths, and the warmth of a crackling fire. You blinked, momentarily stunned by the transformation that had taken place while you were at work.
“Nik?” You called out, shedding your coat and dropping your bag by the door.
A smile danced upon your lips as you made your way further into the house, your heart swelling at the sight of Klaus bustling in the kitchen, an apron tied around his waist. He turned, a grin spreading across his face at the sight of you.
“Welcome home, love,” Klaus greeted, his eyes alight with joy. “I hope you don't mind the sudden burst of holiday cheer.”
The aroma of a savory dinner lingered in the air, intermingling with the festive scents that enveloped the house. You stood in awe as you observed Klaus, his focused expression softened by the glow of the kitchen lights. He turned, a smile gracing his lips.
You shook your head, unable to contain your delight. “It's amazing, Klaus. Thank you.”
With a gentle wave of his hand, Klaus directed you towards the staircase. “Go on, freshen up. Dinner will be ready shortly.”
In the comfort of a warm shower, you couldn't shake off the overwhelming feeling of gratitude. You emerged feeling renewed and found Klaus had set the table impeccably, adorned with candles and adorned with elegant holiday-themed decorations. The aroma of a delectable meal wafting through the air.
Klaus gestured towards the dining area, “I thought we might have a special evening together.”
You both sat down to dinner, the air filled with easy conversation and shared laughter. You marveled at Klaus's culinary skills, utterly unaware of it and mentally coming to the conclusion that he’d be cooking every meal. You savored each bite as you both talked about your day, well mainly you since he loved listening to your voice.
As your conversation lulled to a comfortable silence, Klaus rose from his seat, extending his hand towards you with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Would you care for a dance, my dear?”
Surprised but utterly delighted, you accepted, rising to your feet as he led you to the center of the living room, amidst the glowing lights. The smooth, soulful notes of Michael Buble's Feeling Good filled the room, wrapping around both of you like a familiar embrace. Klaus proved to be a masterful dancer, effortlessly guiding you through dips and spins and graceful movements, the warmth of his touch sending shivers down your spine. Your shared laughter mingled with the music, as though adding to its melody.
You both laughed and twirled, lost in the enchantment of the moment. Klaus's eyes held a softness that you cherished, a silent language that spoke of affection and devotion. With every step, every dip, he seemed to convey unspoken emotions, your hearts beating in unison to the rhythm of the music. In the embrace of the moment, time seemed to pause. You found herself lost in his arms, the world outside the dance floor fading into the background. The touch of his hand against yours, the warmth of his gaze, all of it felt like a beautiful dream.
As the song wove its way to an end, you found yourselves nestled on the couch, limbs entwined in a comfortable embrace. Retreating to the coziness of your shared space, you snuggled beneath soft blankets. Klaus hummed the fading notes of the song, his voice a soothing melody that lulled you into a peaceful state. His fingers tracing idle patterns on your skin as you drifted into a peaceful slumber. Wrapped in the warmth of his arms, you felt safe and cherished, the lyrical melody of 'Feeling Good' becoming a lullaby guiding you into a restful sleep.
In the tranquil serenity of the night, bathed in the soft glow of Christmas lights, you lay in the embrace of love and the enchanting aura of the holiday season, grateful for the simple yet profound joy of being with someone who made every moment feel like a cherished memory.

What if Hope was a lesbian? Would her dating life be as under Klaus' thumb as Rebekah's was still?
Hope's sexuality wouldn't impact the amount of control Klaus exerted over her dating life. To me, all of the Mikaelsons seemed very accepting of all types of relationships. For Klaus, it was never about worrying over Rebekah specifically with men, but rather worrying about Rebekah abandoning him for love.
People often confuse "possessive" and "protective" with Klaus. He wasn't protective of Rebekah, he was possessive. I like to think he began to realize this with Hope and potentially learned his lesson, although a lot of her life he remains both protective and possessive.
So it really depends on which version of Klaus we are talking about. Klaus by the end of Season 5 knew he was going to die and leave Hope alone. He was relieved to see her dance with Landon because that meant she wouldn't be completely alone. He knew from Cami how important love was at that point.
If he hadn't been on the verge of dying, he would have been much more of a bully to Landon, or any partner Hope decided to pursue (see how he treated Brody or Brady or whatever that man's name was). He would struggle with the idea of his little girl leaving him for love. Hope was introduced into his life as his "redemption" and this person that would give him "unconditional love." She was meant to be the one person that wouldn't leave him. A romantic partner for Hope would threaten everything he had built his idea of redemption on.
Klaus didn't like Hope to see him angry or lose control, he did try to not be Mikael to Hope. But he would go off the rails in the background, likely needing Hayley or Elijah to talk him down before doing something that would harm Hope emotionally.
I know people get mad when I criticize Klaus' parenting, but I do realize how much he loved her. He would try his hardest to put his love over his own fears, but as we see in Season 4/5, he doesn't do this well.
Any version of Klaus before season 4 would likely try to lock Hope up in a tower the moment she started showing romantic interest to anyone.
I also think it would depend on who was still alive at the time Hope started dating. Cami, Elijah, and Hayley would be the best people to even Klaus' temper out and help him deal with Hope's dating. Especially if Cami was there because he wouldn't feel so alone. And yes, I do find it problematic the pressure Klaus puts on his familial relationships to fill in for his lack of romantic partners.
If they were all dead, it would fall on Freya and Rebekah and maybe Kol. But again, if this is Legacies Mikaelsons, they may all disappear and not help. I like to think Rebekah would be very helpful as she has been through it all with Klaus. Freya and Davina would try to make him back off but Klaus doesn't have a good history of listening to them.
It would really come down to Hope having strong enough feelings to tell him to back off herself. And Hope would definitely do this. Hope has a strong personality that she got from literally everyone in her family. But she has the added bonus of not being afraid of Klaus and not having to fear him hurting her. I don't think it would take Klaus doing much for her to stand up to him. Since Klaus never wants Hope to see him as anything but her hero, he would begrudgingly listen to her. Although he would definitely be sulking in the background and throwing menacing looks to her partner until he learned to like them enough.

hi can you do headcanons on dating klaus mikaelson tvd x fem reader
Tumblr media
Klaus is the kind of man to give you flowers, from roses to tulips he makes sure you're fully stocked on the newest bouquets.
You need a new pair of shoes? Already on your door step. Your phone's cracked? He's already browsing through shops.
Trust me, when I say Klaus spoils you take it literally.
Klaus is most definitely the clingy one out of you two, he always has a hand resting on your lower back or your hands are intertwined with each other.
When you first meet his siblings, Elijah is slightly skeptical of you but soon finds you great company and every Sunday you and him will discuss different books while classical music plays in the background.
Rebekah also took her time to get to know you, but once you were past that stage you got really close.
Often after Klaus has finished a painting, he'll go off in a search for you and find you getting ready to go out with Rebekah.
"Sister, what is this? I thought I told you to go find Marcel."
"Don't be jealous, Klaus. We all know your lover likes me more."
His siblings most definitely try and find you to resolve an argument or to convince you to pick their side.
"Klaus, you do realise they're having an argument on who you've daggered the most?"
"...It's Rebekah."
Cuddles are an important factor in the relationship.
Klaus will usually lay his head on your breasts or he'll have you snuggled into his neck.
Once, Rebekah snapped a picture of Klaus cuddling you during Christmas. You and Rebekah had to force yourselves not to laugh aloud but now there's a sacred photo of a peacefully sleeping Klaus on Rebekah's phone that she plans to use in their next argument...
This man is so fucking protective as if his life depends on it 😭
There was this one guy, let's call him Mike, he attempted to ask for your number at a dance while Klaus was getting you a drink. By the time Klaus had come back and saw Mike, be was no longer in a conversation with you as he was being dragged out of the building.
And then there was a time when a woman couldn't keep her eyes off of your breasts and she ended up with snapped neck.
"You didn't have to be so harsh, Klaus..."
"Nonsense, love. There's no such thing as harsh."
You and Klaus are constantly going on holidays, Klaus wants you to see the world and its beauty.
Once in Germany, you had asked him to buy you some shampoo and he ended up bringing back seven bottles explaining that he didn't know which one you wanted so he bought one of each.
Also in Tokyo, you had forgotten your favourite pair of heels so this man, like the king he is, went out and bought four new pairs.
Whenever you come home from a night out with friends, he's always there to hold back your hair and pass you aspirin.
This man takes full care of you 🫶
He's most definitely the type of person to say he loves horrors the most, but secretly loves watching sappy romance films.
10 things I hate about you, Titanic, The Notebook, Mamma Mia, Ps I love you, he's seen them all.
The amount of stories he has from different centuries is fascinating, you both lay in bed or on a sofa and share random experiences.
He'll tell you about Chicago in the 1920s, and that one time he had sex with Marie Antoinette in 1785...
Let's just say he's had his fair share of wild adventures throughout the years.
All in all, dating Klaus Mikaelson is fucking amazing.

Hi, it's me again!
Do you know if there's a playlist somewhere of what music the Coffee Gang would listen to?
I feel like maybe a few artists were mentioned in the comics from what I've read so far, but I wonder if you had an inkling/headcanon/any idea what the characters would enjoy.
... Now that I'm thinking about it, the weird temporality of comics might make this an issue...
Oh this is a super fun question which I have no ready-made answer for. (If anyone reading this does have a playlist made or opinions on the subject, share 'em in the notes!)
Going by the comics timeline, I'd start with late 60s/early 70s rock and disco hits. MJ seems the most tuned into new music by way of youth culture and dance venues. Stuff by the Beatles, Beach Boys, Monkees, the Foundations, the whole top 40s list. (ASM #45/130)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Emphasis on female solo acts, maybe: MJ pulls an Aretha Franklin album from Peter & Harry's shelf, and I bet she likes Nancy Sinatra. Wherever she goes, the first thing she does is often to turn on some tunes. For the most part, she's the group tastemaker.
As for Peter, I'm guessing this ask was prompted by ASM 136:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's a running joke that being Spidey keeps him a decade behind [current date] pop culturally. Ella Fitzgerald's career dates back to the 30s; I like to think that most of Peter's music taste + collection is inherited from Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Though humorously cynical nerd Pete might've had time to latch onto Tom Lehrer pre spider-bite, the way some modern high schoolers have a Weird Al phase.
The Osborn-Parker record collection is probably mostly Harry's, covering similar cultural territory to MJ's tastes. Maybe there's a never-opened Wagner opera in there courtesy of Norman. The girl on the cover of Hip Hug-Her always reminds me of Gwen, but I have no idea where her music taste might go. Movie soundtracks, maybe?
Tumblr media
ASM 151 has notes on JJJ's music collection, of all people: Guy Lombardo, good lord. (And Mantovani is an orchestra conductor.)
Flash is a bit mysterious because his background took a while to fill in. In the far future of ASM 574, he listens to Tom Waits on Peter's recommendation. I was kind of nursing the headcanon that his dad kept Johnny Cash around the house and referred it to the only music for real men left in the world but rarely played any of it, until Flash got around to listening on his own and to his surprise really emotionally connected with it and reclaimed it into his own music taste...
In any case, there's a bit of music still left once Gwen leaves the scene. Kung Fu Fighting is PeterMJ's song, for one.
Tumblr media
One of the last big nights out of the classic era is to the disco in SSM 24! This delightfully camp villainous music group is unfortunately not available on any music platforms, but KC and the Sunshine Band, the Bee Gees, the Jacksons and the Trammps certainly are.
Tumblr media
And finally, based on this random panel whose issue I've forgotten, I like to think MJ got everyone into new wave at some point. The B-52s, Talking Heads and the Waitresses have reminded me of her. I also think her modeling connections would introduce her to the NYC weird art scene of that era, like Klaus Nomi, Grace Jones, and Laurie Anderson. By that time it would mostly be the Watson-Parker music taste, though.
Well, that's a whole lot of links to individual songs and not a coherent playlist at all, but I wanted to cover as many different bands/eras/ideas as I could work in. I'm sure I missed some though.

Hello, everyone! Sorry, I've been swamped with work and life lately, so I've been a bit absent. So if I haven't been "liking" your content or getting your art requests done, it's just because I haven't been here! I'll catch up soon.
Here is the latest chapter from my fic; it only took me five months to get it done! 🙈
Featuring @picapicamagpie's OC, Cadence, and @thecraftedmacaque's OCs, Lilac and Connor, as background characters. ☺️
***
Summary:
Odalys accidentally blows an opportunity to impress Klaus Kickenklober. In the meantime, Mortimer realizes that he has feelings for her. 
Teasers:
“I’m not worried about it,” the arrogant bird answered, “especially because your half of the class will be doing the monkey dance. The monkey dance is easy; all you do is bare your teeth, throw your fists in the air, and jump around.”
Odalys was indignant. “Whatever, Hector, the monkey dance isn’t ‘easy.’ The bird dance is just a bunch of outstretched arms and finger fluttering.”
“I could do the monkey dance with my eyes closed,” the bird said haughtily. 
“And I could out-bird you any day!” the monkey retorted.
“There’s no need to get defensive, Odalys,” Hector began, admiring himself in the mirror as he spoke. “Birds are naturally elegant and gifted dancers. They don’t have to try hard like monkeys do.” 
***
Mortimer thought of how many times he saw Klaus roast a dancer in front of the class for the tiniest mistakes, and here was Odalys, fully accepting someone exactly the way she was. He felt a surge of jealousy pulse through him and was angered to think that a girl like Odalys would love a pretentious snob like Klaus. 
“He’s nothing like her,” Mortimer seethed to himself.
***
Meanwhile, Breck was in the back of the class actively avoiding eye contact with everyone. He was in the middle of a revenge fantasy against Odalys when he suddenly had the uncanny feeling that someone was watching him from behind. He turned around to see Klaus Kickenklober standing near the studio door. He was staring at Breck’s skimpy outfit with a look of utter confusion and disdain.  Breck now lamented his choice to stay in the back of the class, as he was likely the first person Klaus saw.

Flufftober 2023
Tumblr media
Day 3: Sharing a blanket [x Steven]
Why had Steven agreed to this? Why did Klaus suggest this? He should know about Steven's embarrassing crush on you by now. K.K.'s snide comments weren't only her opinion, but very well known by Steven. He half expected her to insist on Steven making this mission the one he finally gets a date.
A little surprising of a sentiment, if it weren't for how much softer Steven acted around you. How K.K. kept saying even a person with one eye could see it. And the only one who didn't was the person whom the affections were directed at out of respect and lack of an overinflated ego.
In all honesty, it was one of a long list of reasons Steven liked you in the first place. But acting like a couple in public wasn't the most productive thing!
Steven would greatly prefer to ask you out on a nice, soft, and romantic evening. Dinner, drinks, and dancing were his standard, but here he was jumping head-first into the shallow end of the pool. At least, that's what it felt like.
You were completely oblivious however, this was just another mission. Catch another criminal and go home. Nothing to it. Sure, you had feelings for Steven and this wasn't helping your nerves either. But you also didn't think acting like a couple for the sake of work was the best time to confess.
Maybe after this, considering the fact you two had to travel and share a honeymoon suite at a hotel. But certainly not before returning to Hellsalem's Lot. That would just be too much.
Regardless, you set your things off to one side, well away from where Steven was keeping his stuff. This specific room was uniquely set up to give the two of you plenty of space and privacy to conduct your mission and research. Which was more than necessary given it was one of the few cases of an external agency using the US's laws to bypass Alterworld treaty regulations and create a 'cure' to being a Beyondian.
The distribution of such a chemical would cause too much chaos. And you were more here as a cover story than actual assistance. Steven would be doing 98% of the leg work. Even as he set up three different laptops on a single large table, you didn't know what to help with due to how hyper-specific the sequence for booting up the programs were.
Some things were just beyond you and your forgetful nature.
But that didn't stop you from doing other useful things around the suite. Starting the coffee maker and prepping to cook something for supper being your focal point for the time being.
The sound of the coffee maker brewing had Steven swiveling in seconds. He hadn't even registered you slipping past him into the kitchen area. Though he did deeply appreciate your attempts at being helpful. That fact that you were brewing coffee alone had an array of complex emotions plaguing Steven.
On the one hand, you were being super sweet, thoughtful, caring, and just overall a phenomenal partner in every sense. On the other, you didn't have anything else to do and knew Steven would eventually need coffee and something to eat. You jumping the gun so to speak and doing this before being asked was much more likely an attempt to keep the peace and make yourself useful.
As much as Steven wanted to admire you for the positive side of your actions, he knew that if you didn't do this he'd be able to say you weren't doing your job. Sure, he would never dream of forcing you to do more than your fair share, but in this situation... this was considered your fair share. He was the one doing the actual mission, you were the one providing the cover story and background tasks.
It felt wildly imbalanced, but there wasn't anything Steven could do about it. Unless he wanted to teach you coding and tracing.
He wouldn't say no...
"Hey Steven, are you at a point you can let it run?"
"Hm?" Steven barely turned to your voice, "Not quite [Name], five more minutes."
"Alright, I'll put a plate in the microwave for you then." You portioned out a hearty serving or two onto a plate, "This way I can clean up."
Steven tore his eyes away for a quick second, just long enough to see what you made and the plate being put up for him. Even as he kept typing, Steven couldn't help melting a little. Acting like his partner to this degree behind closed doors...
He had to shake himself back to reality. This wasn't you acting like you were his. This was just you being polite and efficient. Steven really needed an actual vacation, he was going absolutely crazy over his wistful perceptions.
Or maybe he needed to ask you out...
You settled onto the couch. It might be a little late, but one movie before bed wouldn't kill you. Especially not with Steven still typing away, being a light sleeper had serious drawbacks. Turning the TV down enough to not disturb Steven, you just sat there under a blanket.
Sadly, the room had to be kept cold for the computers. It wasn't too bad until now because you had been moving around and cooking. Now that you were stationary, sedentary, the chill was getting to you. And you saw exactly why Steven wore three-piece suits all the time.
"What are you watching?"
You nearly jumped out of your skin, and almost hit Steven. He was too big to be this stealthy.
"Just an old movie from my childhood." You had to stop to breathe, why did it seem like Steven was a little too close? "I wasn't sure I could sleep with the keys clicking, light sleeper."
Steven straightened up a little, "Ah, I'm sorry. I won't need to do as much typing until morning though. If that's any help. You probably should at least try to get some sleep."
"Uh, yeah. I guess I can do this sometime tomorrow anyway." You moved to put away your DVD, "Thanks for the warning."
Watching as you moved, Steven lamented saying anything. He probably could have just asked to join you...
"On... on second thought [Name]," You paused just shy of putting the disk in its case, "Maybe we could watch it together? I mean, if you want to that is. I don't have to monitor the programs for a little while and I doubt reading will be as much of a break as I thought it would be... given that I've been reading the computer screens for hours now."
Looking between the case in your hands and the slightly awkward Steven you didn't know what to do. You've never seen him act this way before. Usually Steven was so direct and convicted that even a professional argument machine like Zapp couldn't fight back. But you'd be lying to yourself to even remotely hint that you didn't desperately want to spend time with Steven. Just a couple hours would be enough...
Just enough to fuel your teenage crush.
"Sure." You back tracked, "Though I don't know if you'd like this all that much."
"One way to find out for sure." Steven smiled a little sheepishly, "Just let me grab my coffee."
Nodding as you booted the TV back up, you couldn't help the overly giddy feeling rising in your chest. Shadowed by the extreme pressure of whether Steven would actually like the movie. It was one of your favorites after all. If he didn't like it, then what? You could never bring yourself to get rid of it, or ignore it sitting on the shelf, or just not watch it just because Steven didn't like it.
Meanwhile, Steven was nervous for a similar reason. This was one of your favorite movies. He couldn't very well lie about his opinions, and he didn't want something like that possibly hurting his chances with you. Surely you were a reasonable adult and wouldn't make such a big choice over an opinion of a movie... right?
Either way, the two of you sat on the small couch. You hadn't realized how small it was until you had to share it with Steven. Pressed up against each other, hip to hip, and painfully aware of the other's presence... and the chilly air.
Steeling his nerves, Steven tried his best to not be hesitant about tossing the covers across both your shoulders. Yes, the curtains were drawn, it had been one of the first things you'd done when entering the suite. But Steven still had this feeling of someone watching. Not even in a 'being spied on' sense, more in a 'the universe can't possibly line up more perfectly for you, idiot' type of way.
It was now or never...
Unable to take the startled, doe-eyed look you flashed at him, "Uh, it's just a little chilly in here. I didn't want to hog the covers."
"Oh, yeah..." You sounded so unsure and small and Steven's heart couldn't handle it, "Fair enough."
"Are you comfortable?" Steven didn't know how to go about being casual when his heart was behaving like a frantic rabbit, "We could always adjust a bit. Maybe you could sit in my lap?"
You paused, thinking it over, "O-Only if you'd like to! I don't want to force you, I'm just offering."
"I... I uh," You cleared your throat, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable either Steven. This is fine."
"I don't mind, you being in my lap that is."
You reconsidered, really trying to think of why it seemed that Steven wanted you in his lap.
"But only if you want to. I'm fine with this if you are."
"Steven?" He turned to you, hoping against hope that he wasn't visibly blushing, "Do you want me in your lap? Ho-"
"Yes."
It was your turn to hope you weren't blushing too hard. Steven didn't even let you finish what you were saying before blurting an answer. But you did have your answer... and several questions about how a simple, innocent mission had you sitting in your crush's lap watching one of your favorite movies. Even more questions popped up as Steven relaxed. Propping his head on your shoulder, wrapping his arms around you to draw the blanket closed over your laps. It felt like one of your dreams, just more grounded in reality.
This was just far too comfortable for Steven to not attempt to be extra cozy with you. Would make the ruse more believable... and confessing easier. Because Steven was determined to finally tell you how he felt.
Just not tonight...

WRITING BIPOC’S INTO PERIOD PIECES
It was certainly a struggle as a black writer to write someone like me into not only fandom that I like but one where the lack of representation for not just black people, but people from other cultural backgrounds pretty much don’t exist.
So I’ll break down this little rant by talking about two of my books, from separate fandoms.
Here we go…
A DARK TWISTED FANTASY
I know many people have watched the vampire diaries and immediately jump to write about how Bonnie was treated badly by the writers and was made into the “token” and “magical negro” of the show, which is why I had to think long and hard about how I wanted to write my main oc and how I wanted her to be perceived. It’s hard as a POC in general searching through books on wattpad, tumblr, ao3 and so on to find something that’s for me, so I just decided to write a tvd fic, but not just a tvd fic, but with klaus mikaelson as the love interest.
Listen, I love Klaus as a character, but his flaws are never-ending. Not only is the man abusive (physically and mentally), narcissistic, controlling and spiteful but he also tends to throw around the fact he saved Marcel from slavery constantly throughout the originals.
Which of course I didn’t fully realise until I started publishing my story (ADTF). Don’t get me wrong I love writing my oc alongside him but that isn’t a flaw I could just ignore, especially considering the era she’s born in.
For those who don’t know, Adrienne Lumiére is a grey witch (dark witch by some definitions) who was recently made queen of the witch faction in NOLA because of the sudden death of her mother. Oh… did I forget to mention she’s a dark-skin, eighteen year old who’s being courted by Klaus Mikaelson in 1917?
You see the problem I had when was writing?
Well, since I didn’t want to write a canon tvd book where the same thing happens, Klaroline, Esther returns, Klaus wants his hybrids… bla bla bla, I settled with a period piece set when the Mikaelsons were ruling over NOLA before Mikael came along and burn down their accomplishments to the ground. I wanted to give a new take and I did, but trying to balance a somewhat “healthy relationship” between Adrienne and Klaus during this time and how he is when it comes to race was challenging.
Reading the book, you might see him being “colour blind”, believing that because she’s a powerful being, it eradicates most of the struggles she had to face due to her race… classic Klaus right? I mean it’s only right to portray him in such a way because that’s how he is. He might acknowledge her race and strongly hate anyone who is prejudiced towards her but it doesn’t mean he fully understands nor could he ever.
And no, him adopting Marcel doesn’t mean he single-handedly erased racism, him “saving” Marcel in my opinion had little to do with his race and more to do with Marcel’s actions leading up to Klaus noticing him. You know… marcel rightfully throwing an object at his slave owner (defending himself) making Klaus see “himself” in Marcel.
Therefore I write klaus, how I view him to be most of the time as “colourblind.”
Now onto, “how writing Adrienne sometimes can be challenging.”
It is challenging because even though I would love to write her into a space where her struggles as a black woman ( a young one at that) wouldn’t exist, it would be a lie. I also feel like mentioning even it a little is triggering but if I chose to ignore it wouldn’t be doing the book justice. Of course, I try not to over indulge because it’s a fictional character, being written into a fictional world, but I still want to keep my character realistic, so I incorporate how black woman styled their hair back then, how they would dance, the professions they might have (even embellishing a little) and the family dynamics.
Her physical relationship with Klaus is shown a lot —but behind closed doors and that’s for a reason. You see interracial relations were illegal and despite Klaus’ ignorance most of the time, he knows that and wouldn’t risk Adrienne’s safety (because of his fear of his lover dying, leaving him, or being killed because of him… and so on leaving him lonely and even more destructive) so they keep their touches in public to a minimum, but in private, you know how they are.
I know some parts of Adrienne's story might be very unrealistic, but I am leaning into her supernatural status a little just so she can live a little lavish… come on, Adrienne deserves the world and honestly, I’m glad I chose the 1910s to write her into, of course, nothing was okay, or even right back then, but it’s fiction, it’s escapism and I want people to have fun when reading about her and how her family contribute to NOLA back then.
I love Adrienne and even though writing to her with Klaus can be very exhausting, it’s quite fun sometimes.
(And yes I will finish the story before anyone asks, but don’t ask when I’ll be updating)
Tumblr media
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
Eden Dawkins is my other original character set in the 1900s, but this time in Birmingham as a twenty-year-old brown skin nurse currently dating Tommy Shelby before he goes of to war.
For some reason I found this story to be easier, it might have had something to do with the lack of supernatural elements but still, I did a lot of research not only for black people back in 1914 but also the English/Irish and Romani traveller culture during this time also. (beliefs, family values, etc.)
considering that Tommy (who's played by cillian murphy) is constantly looked down on by his enemies and plenty of others because of his background I had to think about how my girl Eden would be seen. although we do see reoccurring characters like Jeremiah (played by Benjamin Zephaniah) and Isaiah Jesus who are a black father and son that were heavily involved with the Peaky Blinders, do experience racism but luckily it wasn't their entire character portrayal, although I did wish they were fleshed out more.
so when I started writing about Eden, who is in a relationship with not only a small-town gangster, I needed to access her views on violence and if she was okay with it. crime was notorious, especially in small heath, no one was rich and the working class were the majority. in the show of peaky blinders, theft, loitering and drug dealing were common. the entire show is based around criminal activity and how the Shelbys used it to their advantage to get themselves to the top.
since my story is set in 1914, the Shelbys, I believe were starting up the betting shop and did already have some sort of reputation for being people not to be messed with, I wanted Eden to already be aware of them. I decided that she would be the same age as John and even be friends with him during school. since she is the god-sibling to Isaiah (and he's besties with Finn) I wanted her and the little 5-year-olds to be close, so that's another tie she has to the Shelbys, meaning Tommy can’t miss her.
he didn't and if you've read the prologue it's known that he's been obsessing over her for a while.
back to Eden... she's a nurse, it was common to be back then and was also an easier profession to get in than it is now. it was also common for many people who were getting treated in hospitals to turn away help from black/brown nurses and doctors due to their prejudice, this is a fact that I mention in my book, in a sly and occasionally jokey way. Eden's mother Celestine is a matron; a title belonging to a nurse of higher status and more experience. Celestine had been a nurse for 20 years.
Eden's been a nurse for at least a year and since she tends to operate with needles, I made sure her defences are knives instead of guns. IT'S FANFICTION GUYS. I know it isn't accurate but she's dating a gangster, lives on a chaotic street and is surrounded by normalised crime, she needs to defend herself somehow and you'll soon understand why she doesn't use guns.
when writing a black character I sometimes forget that it is okay for them to be the opposite of the "strong" stereotype that many portray us to be. Eden is a very emotional person, she's in touch with her feelings and knows she can also let them run her to the ground.
taking this into account, you might ask, "How does Eden react to Tommy's actions?"
to summarise how she would, if it's affecting her or the people she loves or anyone innocent, she has a problem and lashes at him, however, if it doesn't affect her at all, she'd let it slide.
you'll see more of that in a short story.
the black girl experience is also included just like I did with Adrienne.
also, Tommy and Klaus... I see that they do share similar traits, even when it comes to their families, but I won't go into that too much, however, I do want to say that the main difference between Tommy and Klaus and how they react to the race of their partner is I feel like Tommy would be and is more aware of it.
Tommy knows Eden's black and doesn't ignore it or act colourblind, but you know he's very forward-thinking as well as dangerously ambitious, but fortunately, that side of him doesn't kick in until after the war.
…well we can only hope.
a/n:
does this make sense? I really can’t tell.

A/N: IM REALLY JUST MAKING THESE BC IM BORED BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING ANYTHING SO THIS WILL SUCK BUT HOPEFUL IT TURNS OUT GOOD 😅 trust the process ig 😕✌️(BTW I HAVE BARELY WATCHED TUA, I SAW JUST A COUPLE EPISODES OF SEASON 2, IDK HOW THE ACADEMY LOOKS LIKE SO IM SORRY IF I MADE ANY MISTAKES)
(btw the italic words mean y/n`s thoughts)
[ also, five is the same age as y/n, they're both 21-24 I can't rlly pick an age ]
Y/n's pov:
I'm currently walking towards the Umbrella Academy to hang out with my friends, Klaus invited me to come over bc he was bored and we were gonna have a party there, yk foods, music, and dances etc. I've been friends with them for a few years. We're all super close. Me and five get along well, surprisingly, we're like best, best friends, I sorta have a tiny crush on him ig... OKAY I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON HIM. 😻
3rd person pov:
(Time skip bc I don't wanna write all this)
Y/n walks up to the academy and knocks on the door, the door flung right open as Klaus put his weight on the handle with a drink in his hand. "Hey Klaus!" y/n says "hey y/n, come in" Klaus says as he stands to the side then closes the door after they walk in.
The smell of fresh food and drinks coming from the kitchen and music playing in the background. Allison and Luther dancing in the living room, Diego talking to vanya while playing with his knife, and five... idk where five is he's probably in his room or something.
Klaus stumbles to the kitchen "we have so much stuff in here y/n! Come here". Y/n follows Klaus to the kitchen and the smell getting even stronger made me wanna fall down on my knees..
(AN: FOOD THO 😻😻 HMU 😘😘 OKAY SORRY)
I walk to the counter and look at all the food and drinks lay down there, tacos, lasagna, chicken, steak, chips, sauce, cheesecake, brownies, cookies, you name it.
(IDK WHAT FOOD TO PUT??? I BARELY GO TO PARTIES, ONLY FILIPINO ONES BUT LIKE YK???)
"Woww..." Y/n asked, Klaus nods "mhm, I'm gonna dance now, wanna come?" "Sure!"
Y/n's pov:
"what happened?" all of them asked.
After drinking and have a fun time I got up from the couch to go to the kitchen when I saw five blink away somewhere as I stood up. I grabbed some food and got thirsty, and there was this cup with wine in it sitting next to me so I just drank it, not caring who's it was. While I was drinking it five blinked near me while Klaus also walked towards us. "isn't that fives glass? OMG YOU'RE DRINKING FIVES GLASS Y/N" Klaus yelled then started laughing while five just stared.
I put down the glass as I spit out the water, almost choking on the drink bc I was shocked, I mean... I'm drinking from my best friend's glass.. AKA MY CRUSH??!?!?!? HELLO??? "what?.." The others came in here curious abt what all the noise is from.
OH IM FUCKED.. 😭😭
"They kissed?!"
"Y/N HAD AN INDIRECT KISS WITH FIVE!!!" Klaus yelled out. INDIRECT KISS????? I BASICALLY KINDA KISSED FIVE?? OMG I THINK IM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK..
"what"
"what's an indirect kiss?"
"Y/n and five kissed?!"
....
...
..
.
Five and I basically just watched this whole scene unravel. "umm..." I tried to think what to say.. BUT HOW TF WOULD I KNOW WHAT TO SAY IF I JUST INDIRECTLY KISSED MY CRUSH ???
Five and I just looked at each other and he walked up to me and grabbed my hand and teleported to his room. wow.. his hands are SO SOFT- IS IT HAPPENING??? FIVE IS GONNA KISS ME??? I MEAN... SAY LESS-
I was knocked out of my thoughts as five said something "well that was something..." I nodded not knowing what to say. OH GOD IM BLUSHING I BET HE CAN SEE THIS IM GONNA SHIT MYSELF SO BAD RN 😭😭 He walked up to me and and tilted my chin towards him since I was looking away. "umm.. sorry five I didn't mean to drink out of your glass.." I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly.
I MEAN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN I JUST HAD AN INDIRECT KISS WITH MY BEST FRIEND THEN WE'RE IN HIS ROOM LIKE THIS??
Getting lost into his green eyes I suddenly felt a pair of lips on mine. NOW MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN RN 😨 I kissed back knowing we weren't going to pull away anytime soon. He grabbed me by the waist and I put my arms around his neck. HIS LIPS ARE SOFT TOO THIS MAN IS TOO PERFECT WTF
The kiss lasting for a long while, we pull away and I look into his eyes as he smirked. "umm-" Klaus and the others kicked the door open right as I was about to say something. We both immediately pulled away from each other and stood awkwardly.
"OMG THEYRE KISSINGGG"
NOT AGAIN 😭
"Y/N???"
"FIVE??"
"OH MY GODDDD THERE THEY ARE"
"wow"
"Oh my god guys shut up" five said rolled his eyes and shoved them out of the room with a sigh. Turning back to me, "I'm sorry, they're annoying" "no no it's fine! I mean, it was kinda embarrassing but-" five pulled me into a passionate kiss.
A/N: OMF I HOPE THIS IS GOOD??? I HAD AN IMAGINE LIKE THIS IN CLASS BUT DIDNT FINISH IT SO I JUST WENT ALONG THE WAY HERE I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT 😘😘

Lucien wasn’t sure why they were all whining so much. He, for one, was having an excellent night. A quickie in the bathroom and a room full of secrets was good for his undead soul and he felt more like dancing than crying. Sure, he still needed to deal with Cas’ bite and that conversation with Klaus wasn’t one he was looking forward to in the slightest. He needed a moment of levity before he let himself focus on that particular tragedy, so he found himself at the bar, foot tapping to the music that played lightly in the background. “You know, not usually a fan of American traditions, but this one is growing on me.”

Imagine: Slow Dancing with Klaus Mikaelson
Tumblr media
Requested by: @waywardimagines on Instagram
"Maybe I shall meet him Sunday..." Ella Fitzergerald's song plays in the background, but you hardly pay attention to them. Instead, all of your attention is drawn on Caroline, who's dancing with the one person in the world you know you're supposed to hate because of all of the hurt he's caused those closest to you: Klaus. For some reason, you've always felt almost drawn to him. Maybe it's for the same goodness deep down that you think your friend Elena might have seen at some point. Then again, she has always tried to see the good in everyone... even you, when you rose from the tomb with a blood lust at the Founder's Day Festival a whle back. She was able to convince you with the help of her friends to get you to turn your emotions back on.
Now more than ever though, you wish that you'd never made the vow to yourself to turn them off again. Love and heartbreak are two of the main reasons that you did it before you entered the tomb in the first place, because the people you trusted most were the ones who put you in there to begin with. However, these new feelings for someone who looks just as broken with a family just as broken as yours was aren't completely undesirable. Love is not something you ever thought you would find again, yet here you are.
Watching the vampire that has brought so much pain to so many causing a different kind of pain for you right now. This kind of pain is emotional, and you can't simply heal from it with a bag of O negative blood. You could listen in on their conversation with your heightened sense of hearing, but you know not much good can come of that. Klaus loves who he loves, and in your mind, who are you to stand in the way of that? With a pained expression on your face, you look away and around at the various couples joined in on the slow dance on the floor and lock eyes with Tyler, who you figure must be feeling the same way.
Fortunately for him, he's smart and close enough to Caroline to know that she will never feel for Klaus the way that she does for him. Unfortunately for you, Klaus has never given you that privilege.
"And so, all else above..." You look away from Tyler and back over to Klaus and Caroline, who you're suprised to see is staring at you. In that same moment, she pulls away from Klaus and you see her give you a small smile and sympathetic look. To hide your disdain of the situation, you turn around and are just about to leave when you feel a strong hand grab yours. It gently pulls you around to spin 180 degrees until you come face to face with Klaus who's actually smiling without a mischievous undertone for you what might think is the first time you've ever seen.
"Hello, love." He says. "May I have this dance?" Without waiting for your reply, he grabs you by the waist and leads you back onto the middle of the dance floor in almost a waltz before slowing back down to the speed of the song.
"...what are you doing?" You ask, looking at your right hand in his left and shaking your head slightly.
"I'm dancing with you." He retorts, letting his usual sarcastic charm take over.
"Yes, but why? You clearly looked like you were enjoying yourself with Caroline." You mutter, still looking at your hand in Klaus'.
Rather gently for Klaus' standards, he lets go of your waist with his right hand to put a finger on your chin to make you look at him. "I wasn't. Just exchanging pleasantries, love.."
"Stop calling me that." You blush and look away again, still swaying with him to the music.
"From which I'll never roam..." The lyrics continue.
"Now why should I do that?" He says. You don't say anything, and he puts your hand back on your waist. "Ah." He chuckles as he puts the pieces together. "I simply just wished to say goodbye, is all."
"Goodbye?" You finally speak up.
"Yes, I'm leaving town tomorrow." You look at him again, and he chuckles again softly. "I wanted to wish her the best of luck with her small town boy and small town life... and tell her that as much as I wished I could take her with me, that invitation is not hers to receive." You frown in confusion and pulls you a little closer so you're forced to rest your face on his chest as the next slow song starts up. "I told her there was someone else I'd much rather show what the world has to offer."
"...oh? Who?"
"Must I say it?" He chides quietly. "Of course, it's you." You gasp and you feel his chest shake a little with silent laughter. "You really didn't know? Seems like your beauty might outmatch your wits, it seems."
"Hey, now!" You protest which only makes him laugh outloud as you sway slowly.
"I do mean it though, Y/N... I want you and I to see the world together. When you're ready." He pulls away so you can look into each other's eyes so you can understand just how serious he is. Opening your mouth to speak, you find that words are failing you. Just as slowly as your swaying, he pulls you back into him and you close your eyes in contentment. "You don't need to answer right away. For now... we can just dance."
So you do.

Klaus Goldstein Ch1 (11~15)
Tumblr media
ooh… finally the dance time came
Remb asked Liz who she would like as her partner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shall we dance?
for your information, there's no refuse option you said that she could always ask if she had any trouble! don't tell me you're trying to retract what you said
He asked her why she chose him, and she responded that it was because everyone knew he was the best dancer around here.
Tumblr media
so he's good at dancing? like a dance machine? okay! my next drawing theme is Klaus doing Just Dance or Pump It Up
Tumblr media
and another pointing out again sure Klaus, let's get you to bed…
As the music started, the two clasped hands and took the first steps after politely bowing to each other.
Tumblr media
Al taught her… then really, she was able to ask him since he's her practice opponent, wouldn't it have been better to ask him? his moves will be familiar, after all
but! this is Klaus' route so she's supposed to choose him as her partner
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think so too aren't you busy with with Ministry work
Tumblr media
why do you talk like that she cared about you and is this what she got back oi,,,
Tumblr media
umm no just do your work Ministry work is more important than dance classes which anyone with a certain level of skill can teach…
uh, whatever. anyway, it seems like there is something between the two
Tumblr media Tumblr media
whut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
something splendiferous just happened
Tumblr media
erm isn't he being too sincere?! oi calm down go easy on her she's a newbie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
erm,,,,,,, I think he's out of his mind just because seeing a newbie
btw I already felt this during Zeus' route but CG quality has improved, especially in terms of coloring and shadowing I like this new art style!
Tumblr media
spare her ! ! this guy is insane
well but now I get it, he's highly skilled in dancing is dancing one of the virtues of a member of a prestigious family or what…
Tumblr media
yeah yeah I already knew you had no heart for newbies Al over there taught her at her level, moreover he treated her very kindly even though she was a newbie though,,,,,,
A moment later, she spotted Zeus pushing his way toward her through the crowd.
Tumblr media
oh.. he can dance? I can't believe he's willing to do such a classy and authoritative act but I think she needs a break because she was beaten the shit out of Klaus?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he hasn't changed at all! I've always thought it's good that things don't change but… you said you would change little by little in your happy ending! I trusted you! what is this he hasn't grown at all!
Tumblr media
and they started scratching each other again now it just feels like background music
Tumblr media
and here comes other potential opponents guess a situation is being created where she has to dance with everyone except Hiro oi Hiro you won't dance right? I trust you?
Tumblr media
seems like he doesn't give a shit in any of this right now though that face that of an office worker tired of overtime and bullshit
Tumblr media
huh totally unexpected
and she mentioned Lucious, huh
She recalled what happened with Luci and made up her mind that one day she would find a way to get him out of the labyrinth.
weelll meaningful results might come out during his own route, and this "making a plan to escape the labyrinth" will continue throughout S6 to S7 then, apart from that plan, there must be an incident that runs through S6… the one who manipulate Minotaur? or maybe it has something to do with what Remb wants to ask for this time?
Anyway, the viewpoint moved to Luci.
Tumblr media
don't worry! you'll escape there someday! …maybe.
Then suddenly, a dark figure in the distance caught his attention.
Tumblr media
it's that that… of the killer doll vibe that came out after Zeus failed to summon in his route come to think of it, it ran away while Liz was interrogating whether it was the real Taffy… but how did it get into the labyrinth huh
-Ch1 End-

Okay it's been bugging me like crazy that something is ...off about the new TUA season and rewatching S1,2 made me realize that the music is lacking heavily this season!!!! Think of the most iconic scenes in both seasons- they have a lot of character and music !! The iconic dance scene in season 1, the scene with Five and the board members. Including much more... I mean Istanbul Not Constantinople was like THE song the fandom wouldn't shut up about (in a good way).... anyways I think the editing in part has a lot to do with it and the budget.. the Kugelblitz alone was probably a big part of the budget this season so maybe that's why less music was used ( or they opted for covers which aren't inherently bad). Anyways I just really needed to share this with someone becuz I finally put my finger on why S3 felt a little boring and out of place. I hope S4 can capture the same uniqueness of S1,2 and effective use of music!
I think maybe it’s even the editing? The music felt way more in the background this season except for maybe the Klaus training scene? Usually the music is Very much in the foreground. A strange choice to change that this season…

Things go from tense in the room to downright explosive...
A tick began in Nic’s jaw as he looked at the way Klaus was holding Mel.  He had heard what had been said and it was all he could do to restrain himself from taking the man out.  Mel was now saying something, he couldn’t hear what, her voice was low but the look on her face wasn’t happy.  He looked over to his grandfather and he saw the same look of displeasure painted across Ambrose’s face.  “Catch Mel,” was all he said before he started to move forward.
Ambrose saw Nic start to move, then heard what he said.  It took a second for it to register what his grandson’s intention was; but once it had, he was firmly behind him.  While he held Nic partially responsible for the situation they all found themselves in, that didn’t mean he didn’t support him and wanted to protect his granddaughter just as much.  It also didn’t mean that he liked Klaus in the slightest.  For the rest of this expedition, he would be on site and overseeing everything.  It was clear to him that someone who knew what they were doing was required.
Klaus had barely registered the movement off to the side before his jaw exploded in pain, pinpricks of light danced in front of his eyes as he released his hold on Mel and staggered back a couple feet.  Before his head had a chance to clear, he felt hands grab both of his arms and he was quite roughly dragged to the door.  He could hear Ambrose’s voice in the background talking to Mel in a soothing tone.  That meant that the blow had come from Nic or Alexander.  He wasn’t sure which one he should look forward to kicking their ass, or maybe it was both.
As soon as Klaus had let go of Mel, she stumbled backwards in shock and because she had been pushing hard against his chest to try to get free of his hold, so when it was suddenly gone she was in motion.  Strong hands grabbed her from behind and she was gently supported.  Her head turned quickly to meet the kind eyes of her grandfather, who swept her up in his arms to put her back into the bed.  “You, young lady are going to end up hurting yourself more than you already have been.  No more getting out of this bed till the doctor tells you that you can.  Do not make me breakout the restraints, I did bring them with me.”  He grinned and winked down at her, which elicited an amused smile and laugh.  He had been teasing….mostly.  No matter what those knuckleheads that were heading down the hall had in mind, he would ensure that his granddaughter was well taken care of.  She and Nic were the jewels of the family; he would protect either of them at all costs.  That included having to do cleanup on an international disappearance of one of his grandson’s men.
“I promise, no more getting up.”  Mel smiled up at him, then a movement to his side caught her attention.  She looked over to see the kind smile of her mother.   A soft hand took Mel’s in hers.  “I’m glad to see you mama; you look as beautiful as always.”  Mel smiled, but the wheels in her mind were turning quickly.  When had her grandfather and mother shown up?  How long exactly had she been out?  Now that she had time to think more on everything that had just happened, anxiety began to creep in.  She could feel a tremble start in her hands and watched the color drain from Marie and Ambrose’s faces.  Her grandfather’s hand smoothed over her hair and down onto her cheek.  “Sleep princess, rest.  Nic and I will fill you in when you are better.”  Mel’s eyes closed but she wasn’t sure how much sleep she’d get.  A calming feeling began to emanate from her mother, and soon Mel had drifted off.
Meanwhile down the hall, the door to the waiting room where the team and Nic had gone was now locked.  Cam and Dez leaned against the door; arms crossed and pissed looks on their faces.  They had no real dogs in this fight, but they would back Nic till the end.  One thing that they knew was that Nic’s cousin was the only thing he really cared about.  When she had been taken hostage in Peru, he had left a trail of blood getting out of the operation that they were in to be able to be part of the rescue team.  Then when she’d been shot, it was all they could do to keep him on the damn plane and not going after the shooter and ripping him to shreds with his bare hands.  There were few in the room that had that kind of dedication to anyone.  
Once they had gotten into the room, Klaus discovered it had been Nic that hit him and Alexander that had dragged him down the hall.  Now the two men faced Klaus with pissed off expressions, arms crossed and feet spread wide.  Gabriel sat in one of the chairs, fingers steepled and looking up at him with a look that spoke of barely restrained violence that was itching to come out.  Cade was leaning up against a wall, in much the same position as Nic and Alexander.  Donovan and Case were sitting on the backs of chairs that were up against the wall,feet in the seat of it as if they were ready to be in motion at any second.  Only Erik stood by him, but the look on his brother’s face said that even Erik was none the too happy with Klaus.
“Proud of yourself asshole?  What did you think you’d accomplish deciding to pull that stunt NOW, after what just went down?”  Nic’s voice held a growl to it that was nie on feral.  If Klaus didn’t know better he’d swear that the man had grown taller and more broad shouldered since they’d been in the room down the hall.  Maybe being furious beyond all reason did that to someone, made them seem larger than they were.  Klaus wasn’t sure, but he knew that he really didn’t want to tangle with Nic in the state he was in.  Not that he ever really wanted to be on the receiving end of Nic’s fury.   He, along with many others, had seen that over the years and he was one of the most brutal men any of them knew.
“I thought…” Klaus started.
“You thought?  You THOUGHT?  No the fuck you didn’t!  If we had all left, grandfather and I could have gone back in there and gotten her calmed down.  But no, you just had to go and amp up the stress she’s under.  Were you really thinking of anyone other than yourself Klaus?  I mean, I know you’re damn good at that, but fuck I thought you had more sense than this.” Nic’s finger was pointed at Klaus, but he didn’t move forward.  Several of the men around him tensed.
“Now wait Nic…” Erik started to defend his brother.
“Fuck off Erick.  Suck his dick later; this is between him and I.”  Nic growled at Erik.
“No, fuck you Nic.  You think you’re the only one in there that gave a damn what was going on?  Seriously, FUCK.YOU!”  Erik turned and advanced on Nic.  There was no way this wasn’t going to turn into a brawl if something wasn’t done, there was no doubt of that in the mind of anyone in the room. Instantly Donovan and Gabriel were on their feet and moving towards the two men who had come till they were in each other’s faces.  They weren’t the two that anyone had expected to go at it, but none truly wanted violence.
“Maybe you should put that brother of yours on a leash Erik.  He obviously isn’t house trained yet and not able to be let around sane people.  I mean, we all knew Klaus could be one narcissistic motherfucker, but this took the cake.”  Nic spit out.
“Look who’s talking asshole.  I think I’m looking at one of the most egotistical men on the planet, so that takes a lot of balls to say about someone else.  You forget how many bullets you’ve put in someone just because they fucking pissed you off.  Bet each one of them had someone that cared about them too.” Erik sneered at Nic.  “I think Mel was handling herself back there pretty damn well till you decided to handle it for her.  I didn’t realize she was a princess in need of your saving.”
Erik had hit low and hard with his comments.  Yes, Nic had killed a lot of people…a lot.  He never denied that, but only Mel knew how the ghosts of what he had done haunted him on a daily and nightly basis.  How many nights he had gone without sleep because he was unable to silence them.  How often he had turned to booze and sometimes herbal remedies from her brothers to silence them so he could have some tranquility.  Only when he was with his family did Nic feel he could finally relax.  Now to have what he had done thrown in his face sent his blood to a full rolling boil with anger.  His hands came up to grab Erik’s neck as he pushed him back, strangling him.
The sounds of chairs scraping the floor and grunts of men struggling filled the air and everyone tried to separate the two men.  The grip that Nic had on Erik was solid and it seemed when a few fingers were loosened, the others tightened.   Erik’s face had turned bright red and his lips were starting to turn purple, the fight for consciousness was about to be lost.  Suddenly a deep voice boomed in the room and brought everyone to a halt. “What the fuck do you idiots think you are doing in here?  This is a goddamned hospital not a wrestling ring.  If I have to kick every damn one of you out of the building I will, and that includes you too Nic.  I’ve had enough of the bullshit for one day.  Go to your corners or go back to the hotel, but I will not have this.  Anyone wants to argue will find themselves in a hospital bed with a bullet in his foot. AM.I.CLEAR?”  All heads nodded as they felt the weight of Ambrose’s eyes boring into them.
