i can't believe the reception this fic has gotten, honestly, what with the gifsets and the graphics. i think i've died and gone to fic-writer heaven. also, prepare for the most pretentious name-dropping word vomit literally-everyone-is-in-this-shit fic you have ever read in your life.
things made for me by amazing people that i probably don't deserve at all!

TITLE: ALL THOSE FRIENDLY PEOPLE

WORD COUNT: 24k~
CH/PA: caroline, rebekah, elijah, klaus, stefan, katherine, finn, kol; caroline/klaus, caroline/rebekah, caroline/stefan, stefan/rebekah, kol/rebekah, klaus/rebekah, klaus/elijah, THE ORIGINALS BASICALLY

SUMMARY THING:

At any rate, keeping the nightly shows going, since you can’t have one with two of their stars incapacitated, can you?

Rebekah sneaks out of a press conference with Caroline one day, leaving Finn furious, Elijah amused, Stefan bored, and Klaus with all the questions. They hound, they squabble for their turn, they gnash at scraps, they turn their noses up at his weary, pre-approved answers.
They ask about Caroline.
Christ, he needs a drink.
