i think that tlt fic writers (myself included) are sleeping on matthias nonius. i think we should be making more use of him! walk w me for a second, okay? this bitch became a name that readers associated with groaning and complaining and "boring" verse - only for him to come out swinging when he actually hit the page, thereby rending us all asunder. he saved the fucking day, against all odds, and he did it while speaking in meter!!! is that not sick as hell? is that not actually fucking hilarious?? this man is so powerful, he's so cool, he's got immense swag, and i think that if you play it right, having nonius fix whatever plot drama you have going oddly makes sense (the way it did in htn). using deus ex nonius in your fics is an option, and i think we could all benefit from it

TVD 9x05 (part 3 of 3) Enjoy! =)
Cut back to the October 31st, 1886, flashback scene –  New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum.
Tumblr media
DOCTOR: (Infuriated) What do you mean the patient is gone?!!
NURSE: I went to get more medication and when I returned, she was gone. Doctor, I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened, she was fully restrained and sedated…
DOCTOR: You, incompetent fool! Do you realize what you just allowed to be released into this world?!! Leave, immediately!
NURSE: Doctor, please, I…
DOCTOR: Are you also incapable of comprehending words? I said, leave! (Nurse leaves, Doctor 2 enters).
DOCTOR 2: Doctor, what on earth is going on?
DOCTOR: We have a serious problem…
Tumblr media
Cut to, present-day, October 31st – Freaky old mansion. Darius and a group of hooded people are in the backyard woods, doing some weird ritualistic ceremony. As the full moon rises, they gather around a Hecate’s wheel symbol and chant.
Tumblr media
youtube
CHANTS:
Nos stare in lumine lunae.
Sanctifica eve est, ille est aditus.
Electus ortu tenebris est virtus.
Et infirmi erunt: et cum exarserit post ortum iluminati.
Tumblr media
Cut to – The Mayor’s House. Edward is in the dining room, having dinner by himself. The black box he had received earlier is placed in front of his plate; the balloon, tied to the chair in front of him. He looks out of himself… staring into nothing.
 ANTHONY: Sir, your guests will be arriving soon; shouldn’t you start getting ready?
EDWARD: (Dazing at nothingness) Yes… probably…
ANTHONY: Sir, if I may say… I know this night brings up memories, but you must allow yourself to let that go. You are a good man; you deserve to be happy, find some peace.
EDWARD: After everything that I have done, do you honestly believe that?
Tumblr media
ANTHONY: With all my heart. I know you, Sir; I have seen your dark and your light.
EDWARD: You have probably seen much more than what you bargained for.
ANTHONY: At my age, Sir, I have seen much worse, trust me.
EDWARD: Got to love your sense of humor. I will never understand why genetics didn’t make you my father.
ANTHONY: Excuse me for saying this, but I think I am the only father figure you have ever known.
EDWARD: That is very true… And, I want you to know, that whatever happens, I will forever be thankful for having you in my life. After my mother, you are the only person that has made my life have any sort of meaning.
ANTHONY: Sir, don’t say that. I’m grateful for your kind words but with or without me, and dare I say, with or without her, your life has meaning. You just need to see beyond those smoking mirrors that cloud your mind, believe in yourself.
EDWARD: Always so observant….
ANTHONY: So much that I’m going to step out of my place and ask, have you told the Sheriff? 
Tumblr media
EDWARD: Oh, will you look at the time! I need to go get ready before my guests arrive. (Takes the black box and leaves, a saddened look on Anthony’s face).
youtube
Cut to - The Salvatore house, the gang is back from trick or treating; they are having a drink before heading out to Klaus’s.
 ALARIC: Well, gang, the time has come… everyone ready to do this?
RADKA: As ready as we will ever be; so, (puts her cup up for a toast) I propose a toast: to friendship, family and love, the most important things in life!
EVERYONE: Cheers! (They toast, hug, share a laugh or two).
CAROLINE: (Chugs a shot) Okay, Alaric and I need to go tuck the girls in; we’ll be back in a sec. (They go upstairs).
 As they start getting ready to leave, Damon takes Bonnie outside.
BONNIE: Damon, what’s going on? Don’t tell me you changed your mind about the costume!
DAMON: No matter how many times I try, I don’t seem to get this right, so I’m just going to say it…
BONNIE: Say what?
DAMON: 73,0408...
BONNIE: (Confused) Damon, that makes no sense, are you honestly drunk right now? 
DAMON: That’s the number of days I’ve been on this earth, give or take. And, out of those, 3650 have been the best ones… because you have been a part of them...
Tumblr media
BONNIE: Damon…
DAMON: It took me multiple lifetimes to realize what the best things in life are truly about… and that was thanks to you, to this unlikely friendship, which is, beyond a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me. Even when I didn’t know it, and, for the life of me, I still can’t believe I was so blind…
BONNIE: Damon, please, don’t…
Tumblr media
DAMON:
Day 1:That Halloween party, when I tried to grab your amulet… I didn’t realize what it meant at the time, psycho mode an all, but it was the first time in my life that I had ever felt an instant connection, an unexplainable draw towards someone… 
Tumblr media
Day 2: When I went looking for you at your school, leaned into you and told you I was only trying to protect you… granted it was not the best approach, I know, but I felt it, the tension, the chemistry...
Tumblr media
Day 3: The 60’s decade dance… (looking into her eyes) God those eyes… I could have danced, and stared at them all night… 
Tumblr media
Day 4: When I finally found you on that creep island… that hug spoke for itself, but swear I had never felt such relief…
Tumblr media
Day 5: There were probably about a million people you would have rather been with… how lucky was I to be the one?
Tumblr media
The 122 days back in 94. I think those were one of the best ones... Just you, me, vampcakes, crossword puzzles, plaid shirts, The Bodyguard, Monopoly, Tetris, Miss. Cuddles, bourbon, Boyz II Men...
Tumblr media
.. and, well, Kai, but...
BONNIE: (In a cold and harsh tone) Damon, stop! (Damon stops cold in his tracks, then Bonnie transitions into a teasing tone) You aren’t really gonna go on for 3645 more days, are you? We’ll be here forever…
Tumblr media
DAMON: However long it takes… 
Tumblr media
(Softly, places his hands on her cheeks and stares deep into her eyes) You are my person, Bon-Bon… You make me laugh, so much that I actually cry! You make me think, own up to my decisions, don’t take my crap, and boy, do I have some crap! When I’m with you, I feel at home... I am home... you are my home, Bon. You are the reason I know what it means to be alive... the reason I know what it means to love...And, well...I just can’t fight this feeling anymore...  (Damon takes out his phone, puts on a song, and holds the phone above his head, in reference to the famous John Cusak scene. Bonnie can’t help but crack up). 
youtube
BONNIE: You’re crazy...
Tumblr media
DAMON: Absolutely bunkers, one flew over cuckoo's nest, for you... I love you, Bonnie Sheila Bennett and all I want to do is to keep loving you, every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year of my life… and afterlife…  (slowly leans in for a kiss… ).
Tumblr media
CAROLINE: (Caroline walks outside, unaware of the situation). Hey guys, the girls are tucked in; we are ready to… (she realizes the moment she has, once again, interrupted) Oh my god!!! I’m so sorry!! Leaving now! (Vamps out).
DAMON: I swear, I could kill Goldie Locks, right about now!!!
BONNIE: (Laughs) Hey...come here (pulls him in for a kiss).
Tumblr media
 Caroline vamps her way back into the living room, pulls Stefan aside.
 CAROLINE: Oh my god, Stefan, you won’t believe what is happening right now! Granted I almost sabotaged the moment, once again, but at last!
STEFAN: Damon and Bonnie?
CAROLINE: You know it!
STEFAN: Well, it was about time…
CAROLINE: Right!?
KATHERINE: (Who has sneaked in on their conversation) Please, I called it from a mile away! But, hey, good for them! I mean, let’s be honest, we all knew the Elena thing was rooted on Damon’s fixation over me… I mean, their relationship was even more toxic than ours! But I must admit, I’m actually happy for him, despite my everlasting loath, it’s somewhat nice to see him make the right choice, for once.  
CAROLINE: Aw, hello, creeper!? Did we ask for your opinion?
KATHERINE: What about bygones?
CAROLINE: One day at a time… (Damon and Bonnie come back inside)
KATHERINE: So, are you two love birds ready to go? (They all look at them with a smirk on their faces).
Cut to – The Mikaelson mansion. Danae comes running through the front door. Klaus, looking pissed, is sitting on the piano bench, playing random keynotes.
 DANAE: Hello dear (kisses him on the cheek), I’m sorry I’m so late; I had one of my migraines and needed to compose myself before heading back. (Looks around) Good, no one is here yet. Love, what’s with the face? I told you I was sorry …
KLAUS: Just get ready, they will be arriving any time now.
DANAE: Don’t be mad, I told you I’d be here… and I’m here… better late than never.
KLAUS: I’m just a bit on edge, nothing personal.
DANAE: Don’t be, we have nothing to worry about. With my migraine came a vision, and I can assure you, we are going to be fine, I promise (hugs him). Now, let me go get changed, I’ll be down in a few. (Doorbell rings, Klaus opens the door).
KLAUS: (Looks at Damon, cracks up). Don’t you look lovely!
DAMON: Oh, shut up! (Pushes him aside, walks inside).
KLAUS: Now, you (referring to Bonnie)... I think you just stole my soul…
BONNIE: As if you had one… (pushes him aside, walks inside)
KLAUS: Ouch, Bonnie, that hurt. So, where are the others?
BONNIE: They were right behind us, they should be here soon.
KLAUS: (They settle down in the living room). Can I offer you a drink?
DAMON: Yes, two bourbons, on the rocks.
KLAUS: (Doorbell rings again) Well, you are going to have to fetch it yourself (signals to the bar, then goes to open the front door).
STRANGER: Is Tamara here?
Tumblr media
KLAUS: Sorry, love, wrong house. (Shuts the door, goes back to the living room)
BONNIE: Who was it?
KLAUS: Drunken teen… Anyway, while we wait for the others, I must ask one last time (to Bonnie) are you sure you are ready to do this, love? We can call it quits, come up with another plan…
BONNIE: Oh, I’m ready. (With sarcasm) Question is, are you?
KLAUS: Feisty, I love it (gives her a smirk) …
DAMON: Hey, down boy…
KLAUS: Oh, relax Damon, always so protective of your precious Bon-Bon. (Danae comes down and joins them). Love, you look breathtaking (kisses her on the cheek)…
DANAE: Thank you, dear, this was all five minutes could do for me. (Turns to Bonnie) Hello Bonnie, you are looking ravishing…
BONNIE: Thank you, (to herself) I guess?
DANAE: (Turns to Damon) You, on the order hand…
DAMON: Yep, I know. (Doorbell rings).
BONINE: That must be Caroline and Alaric…
DANAE: I’ll get it (goes to open the door). Caroline, (referring to her costume) I must say, I expected more from you…
CAROLINE: Don’t even get me started… (walks in).
DANAE: Alaric, Radka, love the costumes… where is Sergei?
ALARIC: He stayed at the mansion with Stefan, in case he needs back up.
DANAE: Good call; come on in, everyone is in the living room. (As she is about to shut the door)
KATHERINE: Hey, wait for me (walking clumsy, trying not to stumble on her dress again).
 (Everyone gathers in the living room)
 ALARIC: Tyler, Matt, Lexie and Khuyana should be here soon; in the meantime, should we go through the plan one last time?
KLAUS: I think we have done that more than enough; let’s just enjoy our drinks while we wait.
 Cut to - The Salvatore mansion, Elena and Sam ring the bell; Stefan opens the door.
 ELENA: (Stares at Stefan in disbelief and tear eyed, she was not expecting to be so affected by seeing him) Stefan… (tears dripping down her face) Oh, my god… (hugs him real tight and for quite some time).
STEFAN: (Also tear eyed) Elena… (bit of an awkward moment with Sam just standing there; after a couple of minutes they finally stop hugging).
SAM: So, you are the famous Stefan? Great to finally meet you, I’m Sam (they shake hands).
STEFAN: Nice to meet you too, come on in.
ELENA: (As she walks inside and realizes no one is there) Where is everyone?
STEFAN: Guessing Caroline and Bonnie didn’t put you up to date?
ELENA: About?
STEFAN: Oh god, let me offer you guys a drink first, and I’ll explain. (As he is preparing the drinks).
ELENA: Stefan, what’s going on?
STEFAN: (Nervously) Lemons, we need lemons… lemons, yes, in the kitchen... (rushes out).
SAM: Well, this is really getting awkward…
ELENA: Something is going on... (gets her phone out, calls Caroline, goes to voice message) Caroline Elizabeth Forbes, what the hell is going on! (Calls Bonnie but it also goes to voice message) Bonnie Sheila Bennett, you better tell me what is happening!!! (To Sam) I can’t believe they’d leave me out of the loop like this!
SAM: Maybe they are just looking out for you…
ELENA: I don’t need to be looked for; I can handle myself.
SAM: I know you can, but I think they just wanted to respect your wishes of not being involved with the crazy supernatural things anymore…
ELENA: That’s no excuse… (gets up, walks to the kitchen, where Stefan is desperately trying to reach Caroline on her phone). 
STEFAN: (Leaving a voice message) Care, I think you forgot one tiny little detail in your master plan... Elena! (Hangs up).
ELENA: Stefan, tell me what is going on?
STEFAN: Fine; let’s go back to the living room, I’ll tell you everything I know.
ELENA: (As Stefan is walking out) Wait, what about the lemons?
 Cut to – The Mayor’s house. Edward is greeting his guests as they arrive.
Tumblr media
EDWARD: Welcome everyone... (To a mysterious looking lady, wearing some very peculiar gloves) Madame (kisses her hand), always a pleasure.
MADAME: Thank you, my dear (winks at him; walks inside).
EDWARD: (Greets her companion) Mr. Northcott (shakes his hand), happy you made it. Please, come in…. (points to the lounge are) indulge.
 Cut back to the Mikaelson mansion.
 KLAUS: I think it’s safe to say that Donovan is a no show; why am I not surprised.
KHUYANA: (Rolls her eyes at him) I’m sorry you guys, he promised he would be here.
ALARIC: Well, we can’t wait anymore, it’s almost midnight, we need to take our places.
BONNIE: We really do.  (To Danae) Let’s go. (As they are about to head upstairs…)
DAMON: Wait… (pulls Bonnie towards him, kisses her, and whispers in her ear) I love you, don’t you ever forget that. Please, be safe.
BONNIE: (Whispers back) I will… we got this… we are Batman and Robin, we kick ass! (Damon smirks) Oh, and just in case it wasn’t clear before, I love you too (kisses him).
Tumblr media
 KLAUS: (Snarky) Oh, lovely... 
Tumblr media
Cut back to – Creepy old mansion, in what looks to be an underground bunker lab. Darius is outside a heavily sealed and guarded door, with some weird-ass Scientestis that are injecting him with something; Matt, walks in.
 DARIUS: Sheriff (with sarcasm), glad to know you can figure out coordinates. You actually made it...
Tumblr media
MATT: I didn’t have much of a choice.
Tumblr media
DARIUS: Oh, come on, you know better than anyone that there is always a choice… (Matt hands him the key that had been sent to him before). Oh no, there is a reason why you are here; you are the only one that can access it.
MATT: And why is that?
DARIUS: I only know the how not the why… (hands him the chess piece that had been sent to him before by Edward. Matt turns the chess piece around; a code and the letter “L” are engraved on the bottom).
MATT: (Knowing Edward had been sent that same chess piece just a few hours ago) Wait… how?
DARIUS: Oh Sheriff, you truly underestimate my intelligence; you do know I am a certified genius, right? Edward might have more pull, you know how “the elite” are, but I am much smarter than he is. You really should have better instincts when choosing your alliances… (Darius looks at the clock). One minute till midnight…Time to play (winks).
 The clock strikes midnight… the witching hour has begun.
youtube
Bonnie shuts her eyes and releases her psychic block. Danae is holding her hand, chanting. Suddenly, an overwhelming energy blast emanates from Bonnie… 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, a total blackout, absolute silence. An uncanny feeling of calmness, not fitting with the expected scenario. Seems like the moment, and everyone in it has been suspended in time. After a few minutes, Bonnie opens her eyes, she looks around. The place seems familiar, but something is off… Why is she alone? Why can’t she remember where she is, or why she is even there? The darkness, the smell of ashes, the silence, the debris… something horrible must have happened here… but what? And why was she there? Bonnie gets up slowly, the place in utter devastation. She walks, for miles and miles amongst ruins and debris… no movement, no sound, no light, no life…  
Tumblr media
Why did this place feel so familiar to her? As she continues to walk, trying to remember anything that can help her figure out why she is there, and how she can get out, she stumbles upon another familiar sighting… an old mansion, which strangely, still stands intact. Maybe not the wisest decision, but she had to check it out, it was as if something was pulling her in. She opens the door, walks inside… 
Tumblr media
How could this be possible? Where did all these people come from? That music, she has heard it before… How could this place have survived? She takes a glimpse of herself in a nearby mirror… How? She looks ravishing, no doubt, but when did she change into that that attire? 
Tumblr media
A man approaches her, she knows him, so much in fact, that she is pretty sure she is in love with him. The man grabs her hand, kisses it with delicate caress…
DARIUS: My love, I’ve been expecting you…
BONNIE: I know… (winks, then pulls him in for a passionate kiss).
