    Summary

    Neil wasn't surprised in the least to find a grown — but short — man laying down in the empty stall, not with the way Katana was dancin' in her own. He was, however, surprised to see the man was naked as the day he was born, and brandishing a hoof pick like a knife out in front of him. Pallid and sweating, he looked like he done fell face-down in a sticker patch and run over by cows. Neil stared at him, unbothered, and the man said raggedly, "Back the hell up. I will hurt you."

    Neil snorted. "Not like that, you won't," he answered. "You mean to cause any trouble?" Neil asked him, eyeing him critically. "Or you just need some hair'a the dog 'fore I call someone to come collect your sorry ass?"

    The man glared up at Neil, but Neil didn't back down. "I could stab you right now," the man threatened, but his tone was sullen, almost chastened. Neil snorted again and the man shifted and winced. "Just give me a minute," he said eventually.

    "Sure," Neil nodded. "You take your time. But touch any of my critters or my kids, and I'll shoot you dead, you hear me?"

    Summary

    They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.

    “What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.

    “...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.

    “I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.

    Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.

    Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.

    Summary

    Alaric smells like vervain when she’s too close to him. She keeps her distance, stands across the room in his apartment, across from him in the woods as she tries to teach him how to hunt. She steps away when he gets too close. Caroline thinks he might notice sometimes, he gets a look in his eyes that seems almost like an apology, but he never says anything out loud.

    (Post S5. This is Caroline and Alaric gaining their footing on how to act around each other, trying to get over the last time she saw him alive, and the torture he put her through. Basically the summer they’ll never give us/the Caroline-Alaric screwed up dynamics they’ll never give us either.)
