   Summary

   Falling back in time, Hope Mikaelson and Elizabeth Saltzman face one very crucial question. How does one make money? No, seriously. Hope was used to having more money than literal gods, and the only time money mattered for Lizzie, someone had made a Leprechaun.

   There was also the whole, "What the hell do we want to do and change?" Problem, and the fact that if they do anything, the chances of either of them being born are slim to none, but that was inarguably less important. Because again, two rich girls used to have wardrobes vaster than some people's rooms.

   Sure, there was the fact that Hope couldn't stop seeing the one murder from her time without humanity that haunted her, and Lizzie couldn't stop flashing back into being in a mental asylum, and the fact that her twin bond was now truly gone.

   Luckily, there were two things on their side. Power and love. (If only Hope stopped murdering everything that moved or looked at Lizzie wrong, and their families weren't so broken, everything truly could be perfect.)
