g’day
SO I HAVEN’T SEEN THE NEW EP BUT APPARENTLY MY FOUR YEAR HC ABOUT HOPE’S MIDDLE NAME IS RIGHT SUCK IT INTERNET
oh no hope sweetie no
your father doesn’t believe you’re broken
he believes he is and that is the unfair tragedy you’ve been dealt
you are not your father, you are not doomed
i’m having so many feelings about hope and her connection to death it’s ridiculous
Reblog if your icon
would die for their loved ones
war is a slippery slope.
what would you do? becomes what will you do? becomes my god, what have you done?
you meant so well.
she is everything that he had ever imagined and more. such beauty, confidence, and strength. reaching a hand up from it’s place at his side, nik brushed his thumb across hope’s cheek. ❛ i bet that i missed you more, love. ❜ his words were merely a breathless whisper before arms wrapped around her and pulled her against him. love radiated from every inch of his being as klaus held his daughter tight. this was the moment he had been waiting for. ❛ my little girl is all grown up, now an absolutely stunning young woman. ❜ lips pressed to the top of her head as nostrils inhaled the smell he had missed so much. ❛ but i did wish that you’d stop growing and stay my little girl. ❜
HOW LONG CAN A MOMENT LAST ? she longs for this one to last an eternity , cocooned within the safety of her father’s arms . never before has she felt so safe . “ agree to disagree . ” her cheek still prickles from his touch , the wolf which resides in her bones howling , rejoicing having found a long lost member of her pack : of her family . her cheek rests upon his chest , his heart beating against her ear . “ i have a feeling i could be a thousand years old and i’d still be your little girl . ”
jackson had thought his hunger had been content, and then she had mentioned hamburgers and his stomach growled. letting a small huff leave his muzzle, as if telling hope that he’d be right back, the wolf moved behind a thick tree. bones snapped, thick fur receded and within a few moments, he was a man again. leaning down, jack picked up his previously discarded t-shirt and jeans and got dressed. there was no point in shoes, his feet were used to sticks and rocks. moving out from behind the tree, he smiled, ❛ you spoil me, kid. ❜
“ OH YOU LOVE IT ! ” she makes quick work of the preparations in his absence , putting together a modest placement for each of them with what little her step - father’s bayou cabin has to offer , she would be surprised if he owned more than two plates , two knives and two forks . it was little compared to what she knew , having been lavished in her youth with all that her family could give her , but there were times she preferred this : a simple meal in the wilderness with a loved one , with nought but each other and the cicadas . “ besides it’s no fun cooking for vampires : all they want is blood . ”
nothing had prepared nik for this moment ; seeing his daughter after being away for so long. it was if that emptiness he had felt in his chest was suddenly full. hi dad. her words were so simple, and yet they caused his vision to blur with tears. ❛ how is it you’ve become more beautiful than i’ve ever imagined ? ❜ there’s a smile on nik’s face as he carefully moved closer, needing to touch her, assure himself that it is truly his little girl. ❛ oh i have missed you, my sweet girl. ❜
SHE KNOWS HIS FACE , has thought about him in every spare moment , compared his features against her own ( everyone tells her that she resembles her mother ) but it is oh so different now that he is before her , flesh and blood and a beating heart . a smile blooms across her lips , young witch rising on trembling legs to stand before her father after a decade apart . for a moment he becomes obscured , blurring before her , and she panics for she believes that he is indeed disappearing before her : melting away as she wakes from a torturous dream . but then is laughing at herself for it is only the tears in her own eyes that made him so unclear . “ i’ve missed you too ... you look exactly how i remember you . ”
the sound of familiar footsteps reach cautious ears, followed by the scent of hot food. he wasn’t surprised. hope always came with something ; her way of taking care of him. not that he complained. paws moved slowly away from the water, patiently waiting until the girl pushed through the tree line that encased the swamp.
THESE WOODS ARE HER HOME , more so than any four walls and a roof could ever be . she could navigate them blindfolded if she wished and effortlessly so , for the trees were her bones and the water her blood , and within them resided her heart , currently a wolf . she lifts the plate held between her hands , smiling whilst restraining the urge to whistle for him . “ i come bearing hamburgers ! ”
COME AND GONE AGAIN , pushed and pulled from her as if by the tide . something has always barred her from him , from all of them , with only momentary yet blissful respites . she can sense him when he nears though she dares not look , can feel his gaze upon her as if it were a physical caress . hope moves slowly , carefully rebinding the grimoire in her hands with practiced movements , hesitant to lift her head lest he disappear in a cloud of smoke , but when she looks he is indeed standing before her as flesh and bone as she . “ hi dad . ”
TWICEHARD / ♡’d !
❛ you know …. ❜ moonlit tone: soft / gentle , an ardent glow residing in the swell of his chest. ❛ firstborn to firstborn? i understand just how TERRIFYING this power inside of us can be. ❜ he’s decided to take a seat next to his cousin , hands clasped together. ❛ you’re not alone , hope. ❜
SHE IS A FIRSTBORN INDEED , the blood which fills her veins is magical , but the heart which beats it is a wolf’s . family always comes first , a lesson she never needed to be taught but one she has always known : a wolf will always need a pack . “ i know . ” fingers intertwine with his , soft mouth curving into a smile as thick - lashed eyes blink back welling tears . “ and neither are you . ”
me on the one hand: i desperately want a spin-off for hope because a canon older faceclaim, canon specifics about her and her abilities and her family me on the other hand: all my work on her for the past three years is gonna go right out the door
