Summary
Time travel, as it turns out, requires blood. A lot of it, if you're planning on doing it properly. There were probably cleaner ways to escape extinction, but clean exits are for stories that end.
...
Or: Brunhilda Voss has already lived through the apocalypse once. She won't be doing it again.

Summary
"Centuries spent in that endless dark, listening to siblings get daggered and undaggered around him, listening to them slowly forget about him entirely, feeling his organs grow dusty and his skin become caked in a layer of grime. He can still smell the mildew of the coffin, can still feel cobwebs trapped in his hair.
Finn has not experienced much of anything, he realizes. He knows of running, of dying, and not much else.
He does not understand Sophronia's joy—for he had never possessed the hands to hold it."
...
After centuries of isolation, Finn Mikaelson meets Sophronia Melrose.
Or: Being reborn into the Vampire Diaries feels like a death sentence.
...
A SI/OC from the perspectives of those who grow to care for her.

And You Look at Me Like You’re Hypnotized by IcarusOfAThousandDays

Summary
They had met at a gallery—which, in hindsight, should have been a red flag.
Her mother always said never trust an artistic man—or, well, any man ever. Which is probably why Wilhelmina’s mother was on her seventh husband and currently off somewhere in Greece trying to seduce an eighth. Lucky bint.
But Mina hadn’t exactly known what would happen at the time, and she didn’t think it was particularly fair to expect her to recognize what genre of story she was in before the opening credits had even finished rolling.
She had only seen a tall, pretty stranger with eyes like storm clouds and thought: why not?
...
Wilhelmina isn't sure when she got so attached to the strange man claiming to be her soulmate—but she supposes if you can't beat them, sleep with them.
At least, she's pretty sure that's how the saying goes.

Summary
He could climb into her chest, he thinks.
The thought arrives blunt and deranged and truer than anything he has pictured in centuries. He could lean forward and slip between bone and breath, could press his face to the inside of her sternum and let the beat of her heart rock him into something like sleep.
He could reach inward—past salt, past heat, past the tender machinery—and make a home there.
It is not enough to love her—no, that’s too small, too civil. He wants residence. He wants to live in the warm red room where her pulse keeps time. He wants to hang his hunger on the rafters and leave his rage at the door and curl up under the rib like a penitent dog that has finally learned how to stop biting the hand that feeds it.
“That good, huh?” she teases, eyebrows waggling, and he makes a sound that is nearly a laugh, incredulous and soft-edged, disbelief fraying into awe.
...
Instead of stopping at a kiss, Niklaus and Sophronia deciding to celebrate their new closeness in a different way.
...
Takes place in Chapter 16 of "That This Might've Shook the Love From Me."

Do You Wanna Tear My Heart Out? by IcarusOfAThousandDays

Summary
And the strangest thing is—she cannot remember the last time she felt this alive.
It ruins a thousand years of precedent in one breath. Every boy, every man, peeled neatly off her like dead petals. All the almosts she gorged herself on, all the not-good-enoughs she dressed up in crowns—poor little paupers pretending to be a happily ever after.
She had thought she would find it once, that strange alchemy that turns a beast into a prince. For a thousand years she had searched for it and found only the reverse—found the magic that turns a brother into a curse, a lover into a ruin, herself into something blood-smeared and yearnful.
She had watered her fairytale garden with the gore of a thousand men, a thousand loves, all stolen from her by time or cruelty or her own foolish hope. She told herself she loved them. She told herself she lost them—
But when Fronia kisses her like this—breathless and certain and wholly present—they all feel like ghosts.
...
Rebekah and Sophronia go further than a kiss.

Summary
He lifted a hand toward her face, almost unthinkingly, but before he could speak she made a sound—soft and broken—and her breath hitched. The sight of her so close was unbearable—the way her lips trembled, the way her blood steamed faintly in the cooling air.
He bit into the flesh of his palm immediately, teeth slicing cleanly through skin, and blood welled dark and fast.
Her gaze followed the motion, dazed. Her voice came then, light and musical even through pain—“Elijah—” followed by a rush of words he did not know, strung together like prayer or plea.
The sound shivered through him.
...
Sophronia takes a tumble back to 1114 and is determined to save her future partners from their own stupidity.

Summary
There are days he wonders if he too should disappear into the ocean waves.
Days that its pressure and darkness call to him like the sweetest bird song—and he wonders if those depths would be enough to hold the weight of all their sins. And even here, surrounded by porcelain smiles and the scent of sugared tea, Elijah feels that deep cold in his bones, the memory of the water closing over everything they once were—
“Carol,” comes a voice from behind him, low and amused. “Would you like to introduce me to your new friend?”
Elijah’s head turns—
—and the world folds in on itself.
...
Elijah meets his soulmate at the Historical Society Tea Party.
