How can you drop something like "expanded swbs universe" in the tags of a post so casually like that?
Without me asking for at least one breadcrumb from that universe?
oh so yeah, I've completely expanded the story to "what happens next for like the next 30 years" in my head
there is the whole Klaus x Elena story but then I also gave adult!Lyra a story
this got long, going to put it under a read more:
anyway so I think I've mentioned before that Klaus and Elena come to a crossroads about 2.5 years after the end of SWBS's epilogue? It's in the spring of Elena's last year of college (she finishes her degree in 3 years, so she is 22, Lyra is nearly 3) and at this point Klaus is pressuring her about what next? He either wants to turn her now or have another child-- he doesn't particularly see the point in Elena staying mortal unless they want to expand their family. If she's not interested in another child, that's fine, but he wants her to make the final commitment to him. Elena doesn't like either of those options-- she's still not settled in her mind or her heart about becoming a vampire, but neither does she want to have another child at 22. And she really, really doesn't respond well to the ultimatum between two paths she doesn't want to take. Eventually this all comes to a head, and the argument is catastrophic.
Klaus views this as a rejection, and there are some Ross and Rachel type miscommunications, and he very much so views this as a break up (but Elena doesn't really). (Even though he also simultaneously has this idea/fixation that he is never going to let Elena go, that any pause is inherently temporary--)
Enter Katherine.
The next part is extremely fucked up. Read at your peril.
It's really just bad luck on Katherine's part, but basically she runs into Klaus right after this and while he normally still lean toward revenge killing her for not going through with the sacrifice, he offers her a get out of jail free card-- pretend to be Elena for him, and if she is so convincing he can forget that she's not, then he will let her live.
Obviously Katherine acts her heart out.
And they sleep together with Katherine role playing Elena.
And obviously Elena is going to interrupt this because she does not think they've broken up, she just thinks they've had a bad argument, and she's come to talk it through and try to come to some reasonable understanding of where to go from here-- because she assumes that of course they'll go on.
And this leads to the Very Real, Very Long and Horrible Break Up that goes on and on for years.
I think.
Because I had some very evil thoughts the other day about some alternatives.
