    Summary

    Chicago, 1920.
    In a smoky jazz bar Klaus Mikaelson met Stefan Salvatore. Their chemistry was instant. The only complication? Stefan was casually seeing Klaus’s sister, Rebekah. But that didn’t stop what bloomed between them in shadowed hallways and stolen nights. For once, Klaus let himself feel something real. Then Mikael came. In an effort to protect Stefan, Klaus erased every memory of him, of Rebekah, of what they shared, hoping to spare him from the violence that followed.

    Present Day, New Orleans.
    A century later, Klaus has rebuilt his life. He’s a father now, living with his daughter Hope and co-parenting with Hayley. But he’s never forgotten Stefan. So, when Rebekah finds out Stefan Salvatore is back in town, looking to start over, working nights in a quiet bar, Klaus’s carefully controlled world starts to unravel.

    *OR* what really happened between Stefan and Klaus in Chicago back then, and imagining what it would’ve been like to have Stefan on The Originals as Klaus’s love interest instead of Cami, kind of taking place around season 3 of The Originals. Klaus is SOFT and WHIPPED for Stefan in this.
