Mikaelsons Reborn in Human AU, present day (ish-Takes place around 1970s to 1980s)
The Mikaelsons start off as very cute kids in this.
Later there's some ships/pairings.

Notes:

Hello my dears! This is a very different Reborn/Reincarnation story, so thank you for giving it a shot! AND please! Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
Now to the actual notes about this story:
1) ALL THE MIKAELSON SIBLINGS WILL GET LOVE IN THIS BOOK. By love I actually mean angst, but also a lot of family fluff. ALL the Mikaelsons will get POV chapters (although all chapter will be in Third Person POV).

2) This story is the part of the COLLISION Series
Book 1: Thousand Bittersweet Endings
Book 2: Half Conclusions To Your Sweet Delusions
Book 3: Tender End To A Bitter Story
BOOK 2 is essentially the OPPOSITE of this book. In a Half Conclusions To Your Sweet Delusions MIKAEL from my Human AU universe is the one that gets sent to the CANNON universe of TVD.
BOOK 3 is the conclusion to the series.
3) THE MIKAELSONS WILL MOSTLY BE CUTE KIDS IN THIS BOOK
I'm still debating on who else from Cannon I'll bring into this story. Characters like Cami, Hayley, Davina, Katherine, Jackson, Marcel etc. do appear in my human AU. I might bring them in as kids or teens in this.
Hope will also appear in this book. It'll be fun, bear with me.
4) I obviously do not own TVDU characters, I only own their characterization in my books and the plot for all my stories. If I did own TVD and/or TO Mikael would be more morally gray and a better father. I just like him for some reason, some day I'll write an essay explaining lol
5) VERY IMPORTANT!!!
This book is connected to my human AU series called:
Beautifully Mundane
READING THE HUMAN AU SERIES IS NOT REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND THIS SERIES!!! It might make it easier but it's not a rule.
This series will also be linked to my other series called:
Is Our Story Still A Tragedy?
Which I'm posting on @marvelous_tragedy
Reading this series is also NOT required to understand these books. But it'll give you some extra information about certain things that I won't dive too deep into in this series.
6) There will be many LGBTQI Characters, storylines and themes within this book and this series. I'll also (obviously) have straight characters. But if you have a problem with LGBTQA+ stuff, you should probably not read this one mate.
7) Trigger warning: Abuse, violence, mentions of suicide, drug addiction, human trafficking, child abuse and rape. There will always be warnings. And I will (probably) not depict any of those in graphic ways. But there might be descriptions of some of them, especially violence and abuse. So careful.
8) Now the sad notes!!!
THE UPDATES WILL BE VERY SLOW...

That's it. I hope you enjoy this! AND SERIOUSLY COMMENT WHAT YOU THINK!!

Chapter 1: Mikael, the Good Father

Chapter Text

Some people have happy childhoods. Others aren’t so lucky.

 

Mikael Stoickson was the latter.

 

But it was not a question of ‘luck’. His unhappiness was a matter of Destiny.

 

Mikael, the patriarch of the Mikaelson family, was always destined to be unhappy… In every universe. Without his misery and his rage, his children’s stories would make no sense.

 

Whoever was in charge of Fate had long decided Mikael would be the monster haunting his children’s dreams.

 

Still, no version of Mikael ever accepted his fate without a fight. In every dimension, he gave his blood to keep his children safe, until something or someone made him into a monster…

 

In most universes, Mikael lost, terribly…

 

But in others, through his unrelenting stubbornness and his undying love for his children, Mikael won.

 

This is one of such universes.

 

***

 

Mikael Stoickson. Born in 1958. The son of a drug addict mother, who overdosed when he was 8, and an ex-military turned criminal father, who like to use Mikael as a toy.

 

He started fighting when he was nine. His father didn’t bother to take Mikael to boxing lessons, only to the fights where he could earn some money—in the first years, his own father bet on Mikael losing all fights. After some years, however, young Mikael proved to be a great fighter.

 

Even though his father barely gave his studies any attention, Mikael got to high school, where he met the two loves of his life: Ansel and Esther.

 

Mikael married Esther officially when he was 18, and she was 23. In the same year, he also married Ansel, unofficially and with Esther’s blessing.

 

The children came into their life the following year…

 

Mikael had always dreamed of being a father, but he had never dared to put his wishes into words. From an early age, life had soon taught him dreams were for others, not for him. He lived his entire life under his father’s thumb. Beaten, used and abused… Yet, it never stopped Mikael from seeking a better life, if not for himself, at least for his family...

 

In this universe, his children would be happy.

 

He swore it. Every time he held his children, Mikael promised to make sure they were safe and happy...

 

Fate had no say in it. Mikael won’t let it ruin his children like it ruined him.

 

But only time can tell if he’ll truly succeed...
