Everyone's talking about the Mikaelsons - the mysterious new family that just moved to Mystic Falls. Everyone but Caroline Forbes. That is, until the youngest becomes her newest kindergarten student. The sweet, but shy five-year-old with a penchant for reading immediately steals her heart. His obnoxiously charming and perpetually late older brother? Not so much.

AU. They've spent centuries running from their enemies and their emotions, but it's finally their turn. And even though their relationship might be a bit toxic, the bitter taste of poison is better than an eternity of loneliness. So what happens now? With Elijah running his underground business, Katherine decides to pursue modeling. After all, vanity was always her strong suit.
