AN: This drabble collection has officially broke 300 reviews! Yay! Thank you all so much, you're amazing :)

Both this drabbles are in one universe and the first one was written for day 2 of klaroline AU Week: Butterfly effect.

After the death of her mother, Caroline, along with Bonnie, decided to leave Mystic Fails and headed to NOLA. No unicorn or otherwise magical babies whatsoever, Kol is well, alive and delightful, as usual.

The angelic tones of her laughter reverberate against Klaus' skin and he cannot do anything else but revel in them. These tiny drops of heaven that her vocal chords drop on his long-cursed soul are everything he has longed for in the last few months.

Everything he has wished for.

Death of Caroline's mother rested like a dark shadow on her daughter's shoulder. When she arrived in NOLA, with the Bennet witch in tow, it had been an entirely different Caroline than the one Klaus had remembered from the woods.

Emotionless. Indifferent. Quiet.

She hadn't really turned it off but to Klaus, she might as well have.

But he hadn't lived a thousand years on this Earth for nothing.

He could be a patient man for things he deemed worth it (and by then, he couldn't imagine a world where she wouldn't be). And still, with the way she was then, the hybrid could always see the real Caroline peeking through this stony exterior she wrapped herself with.

Bruised, but not broken.

Never broken.

Like bricks from the wall, together, they teared away the barrier that separated her from the world. From Klaus. Months and months it took but she survived. She persevered.

Still, for so long, she wouldn't really laugh.

Up until now, when this evening, Bonnie has shown her witchy extraordinaire ways and cursed Kol into a form of kitten for the night.

Klaus had a number of issues with the situation, for mainly security reasons, but decided to forgive the witch, since Kol had been a particular pest this evening.

Not to mention, it was bloody hilarious.

And it made her laugh.

So much in fact, that Caroline is still chuckling as they stroll to the Mikaelson mansion from the bar, after leaving Kol with Enzo (another pest) and Rebekah guarding him (but also taking numerous pictures).

"Did you see his face, Klaus? And how he tried to escape Cami from giving him a belly rub? I can't...I can't..." her head falls back and Klaus basks in the light of her joy, painting her face with little wrinkles, she giggles so hard.

Truth be told, he might be a tad bitter it hasn't been him to bring her to these tears of delight, which he now helps swipe from under her striking eyes. It's a selfish thought and it cannot be helped, for he wants to be the one to give her all the world.

But now, it does not matter, since she is his world and she is shining so brightly again.

And then it's like she infects him with this euphoria and it swells within him and right about now, he cannot hold it in much longer.

Her tears of joy linger on his fingertips when he cups her cheeks and kisses her, hungry, thirsty, languid.

Caroline sighs into his mouth and their breaths melt together as Klaus tastes the divine flavour of her laughter from her lips.

The French Quarter falls silent around them and then there's only his whisper on her skin.

I love you.

She gulps and her eyes lock with his, stormy ones. She looks and looks and looks til finally, those perfect lips of her curve in a small delicious smile. A quiet little laugh escapes her mouth.

And this laugh speaks, I love you, too.


kc + "6 things you said under the stars and in the grass & 16 things you said with no space between us"

Around 100 years into the future.

They were lying on the grass behind their Tuscan villa, their bodies intertwined and hot after the last round of hot hybrid vampire sex. The midnight picnic was the final mark of their 75th anniversary celebration, all planned by Klaus as a surprise.

The moment of silence stretched between them as their ragged breaths mingled together. The dark starry sky was their blanket and the warm summer air caressed their sweaty bodies.

It was peaceful.

It felt like belonging.

Caroline lied sprawled over Klaus, her thigh pushed between his, breasts pressed against his chest and her face buried in the crook of his neck. The hybrid's arms keeping her in a close embrace, his deft fingers dancing on the soft skin of her back as she snuggled to him.

Breathing in their mixed scent and savouring the taste of one another on their tongues.

Not even an inch between them.

"A lifetime ago, I'd never thought it could be like this," she whispered in his ear, as if worried not to spoil the peace with her words.

"Caroline." His voice purred like the sweetest melody, reverberating in the silence. "I had dreamt of this. That you would come to me. The life after life after life…of this." He tugged the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, his gaze intense and loving at the same time.

Leaning into his touch, she closed her eyes, their years spent together flashing in her mind.

Travelling. Fighting. Making love.

How strange, that she'd had to die to truly live again. And that she had never felt more free than once she'd given in to him.

"It's a good thing that I'm a vampire and I can't die of happiness," she teased, nibbling at his jaw.

Klaus chuckled softly and then flipped them over, his chiseled frame looming over her. "It's a good thing indeed. Happy anniversary, my love," he murmured as he slowly slipped inside her again.

"Happy anniversary, Nik," Caroline managed to gasp before talking became the last thing on her mind.

It was a good thing that they couldn't die of pleasure either.
