It was inevitable. That she would wind up there, New Orleans, in the thick of war. Mikaelsons against the world, against their mother, their father too, brother to brother. It was inevitable she would be drawn back into the strife, because she was the catalyst all those centuries ago, and she's a catalyst now. Elena is Tatia. Tatia is Nik's. Always. Forever. [Sequel to "Tremble"]

It's not easy being an orphan. It's not easy forgiving God for his creations, for his cruelty, when an angel ruins everything you have. Especially when that same angel comes back six years too late and has no idea how to make amends. [Coda to 10x09 "The Things We Left Behind"] Castiel/Claire, Mentions of Meg.

Allison knows about death. She knows more about death than anything else. But it never ends there. With death. With the bodies of your friends & family cold in the ground. With the blood of the boy you love drenching your hands. It never ends there. And if it doesn't end, it can only get worse... Right? So she isn't optimistic about this new universe. These familiar strangers.

Teenaged street kid turned card counting MIT prodigy Felicity runs into bad boy billionaire Oliver Queen in an underground gambling house while he's making money he doesn't need off an illegal fight ring. But that is only the beginning. And it's all Selina's fault. Because Felicity really isn't a sneaky thief. She's just a good friend. A really good friend.

Sara pays an unexpected visit to the foundry after leaving town. Unexpected in more ways than one, because she's up to something, and Oliver really doesn't like it. "Stop," he growls, low and tight and harsh in warning. She tips up her chin, steps closer, saying stubbornly, "I would. But I'm Felicity. And Felicity doesn't stop." Oliver/Sara, but mostly Oliver/Felicity by proxy.

Klaus has been betrayed, bedridden in agony, a mystic blade cut through his chest, burning with fever and delirium. Katherine has Elena's body and Elena is lost in the dark wood, ejected from herself, set adrift. But a spirit behind the scenes leads her to New Orleans. To the Original hybrid. It's like some sick twisted joke, her mortal enemy, the only one who could save her soul.
