Really, really enjoyed the Caroline/Klaus. I like how it seems to span so much time. Possibly because I am fascinated by the idea that perhaps, in an eon, she'll decide she's made him wait long enough. Maybe he'll have gotten better, maybe she'll have gotten worse but ether way it would be so so interesting to see what triumphs and tragedies enough time can swallow.

Exactly. I cannot understand fandom when it says things like 'X would NEVER do that.' If there's something your fictional character would NEVER do, then they're probably not good characters to begin with. I think there always should be scope for a character doing pretty much anything given the right set of circumstances. Thank you!
Mhm. Also, there's enough of a sense of history here to honor all the things that would have to happen to reconcile these two people in any sort of fashion, for any sort of relationship or romance. I don't quite understand fandom crying foul on the evolution of the stock Klaus/Chuck Bass/Jaime Lannister/Tony Stark (insert other rather monstrous male who sometimes grows within a narrative and sometimes does not last long enough to do so) and his relationships but will willingly swallow Hermione and Ginny becoming lovers and then maybe inviting Harry to join in or the Winchester brothers fucking each other and beg for more. So these dudes woke up gay and incestuous one day but Klaus can't one day be less of an asshole? Kay. I say this as one of the few (I think) fan fiction writers who is actually gay.
Anyway. Beside the point. Which is: again, I liked your story :) Enough that I may try one fo my own.
Also, the ~outrage is a little hard to understand because I don't think the show's ever said that Klaus is a better ~person anyway? I mean, he's done some pretty terrible things to everyone WHILE saying that he's in love with Caroline, so it's not as if he's completely changed or the show is romanticizing it. But Caroline, after having killed 12 witches, and with experiences to come, can also not be the same person she always was, and instead of a static narrative, there should be growth according to whatever happens. (I'm thinking S6 Willow as against S1 Willow. Who could've predicted that? And yet, personally, I felt it was organic.)
(Also, idk, I'm thinking centuries of living probably changes your concept of morality etc. I feel like more than immoral, all the Originals should be amoral.)

HAHAHAHA. I've never quite thought of it like that, but yesAnd yay for more fic, you should definitely do it! (Also my BrOTP is Kol/Caroline
( ... )
dude i remember reading this (you could be my original sin) forever and one years ago on your lj but suddenly i came across a graphic/fic rec post of it on tumblr and i got really excited thinking maybe you had a tumblr so i tried your url there for lucks but then but then but then... ~
you can pretty much guess the outcome because i'm here telling you all this, right? anyway - read the whole story all over again and still feel as lost now as i did then. not lost in the omg can't find my mom maybe she's by the onions again shit i hate supermarkets kind of way, but of the trippy existential-anguish type, which happens mostly after i read your things.
i just saw the first three seasons of tvd in a totally different light, flashing all psychedelic in my head, and i feel, goddamn, i feel way too much right now.
I REMEMBER WRITING IT FOREVER AND ONE YEARS AGO, haha. If I wasn't an obsessively obsessive person, I may have tried tumblr, but since I actually want to complete law school, alas. Life, it much sucketh.
you have much of a way with words and are much flattering and if i ever met you at a supermarket, i would totally help you find your mom okay. in the meanwhile, we can existentially angst together. <3
i have never rewatched a single episode of tvd, which means some of it is years and years ago for me and i'm so hazy on most of canon, but i'm willing to be empathically destroyed along with you!! ----> I wrote that before realizing that you possibly did not literally mean that you rewatched the first three seasons of tvd again. Do you really want to waste your hatred on someone that dumb? REALLY?
