Author's notes: Written for the tvdfic_exchange. I adored this prompt as soon as I saw it. I don’t know if it’s exactly what the requester had in mind when she gave the prompt, but I am absolutely willing to write more in this train of fic, because I absolutely adore it. No, seriously. Fun fact: I had all but the last, like, thousand words of a much larger, original idea for this prompt done, like, fucking Saturday, when the idea for this hit me in the head like a meat grinder, and I couldn’t not write it. So -- here you go. Beta’d by the amazing smallearthcat. (Who also liked this idea, so hopefully it goes over well.)
Excerpt:
He had really not expected to see them again in Amsterdam, while he was attempting to make a rather large business deal.
To be fair, it had been nearly ninety years, Elijah had never sent out a blanket “stay out of Amsterdam, you damn kids” warning, and he was fairly certain that none of them knew he did anything other than police the activities of idiotic young vampires. While that would have been a horrific calling, Elijah wasn’t certain the by-day persona of large-scale properties broker was much better. (Though it did keep him adding liquid assets to his brokered assets.)
