I mostly lean towards M/F and F/F, and all my OCs are bi. My muselist hasn't been updated in over a year, but it's mostly accurate! If you have any questions, hit me up on plurk or discord. Wheee.

Freya

[stefanged]

one, two, and/or three

[deathlessness]

[When Freya goes hard, she goes hard. She's well aware of that. But that also means she can do things like bury herself in a hole of books, grimmoires and spells and not come out for a while. Which is why Hayley eventually drags her out of it (well, more like drugs her tea first) hands her over to Stefan, and gives one order.

"Take her away. Far away. And don't come back until she's had something close to fun."

She is a Mikaelson, so Hayley is aware it's a high goal to achieve, but by the time Freya awakes, she's in the passenger seat of Stefan's car, and she peers out the window, confused for a moment, before glancing back to the driver.]

Have I been kidnapped?

[stefanged]

Nnnot exactly.

[ Stefan laughs, giving her a cheeky smile before he reaches over for his phone and turns down the radio. Hayley's orders had been orders, and Stefan didn't think twice about following up on them.

Freya had told him that he could trust her, and now, he wanted to repay the favor. Take her on a long, meandering road trip down to the sea and experience the beach for all it was worth. Maybe practice some water magic, if she got too into the magical community in their little seaside haven...

But fun under the sun was the name of their game, and Stefan was more than keen on achieving it. He slides his sunglasses up, handing over his phone - and in turn, his playlist. ]

Think of it more like... oh, I don't know, an extended vacation with your favorite student.

[deathlessness]

[She raises an eyebrow at that, because usually there's the caveat of one person having to agree to it to go on a vacation, but it doesn't take her long to connect the dots in between.]

Hayley?

[stefanged]

Who else?

[ Well, Stefan wouldn't have put a lavish vacation for an older sister past Klaus or Rebekah. But they hadn't given him the command, and from his limited magical experience, Stefan knows how exhilarating a room full of grimoires and spells could feel.

All the more reason to pull her out, he supposes. ]

We won't be that long. Just until you've experienced this mystical, magical thing called "fun."

[deathlessness]

Ah, the elusive "fun."

[She shakes her head a bit as she shifts so that she's sitting more comfortably in her seat. She's not angry about it, she knows that Hayley is just looking out for her. But she would have preferred to have not been drugged, and the wooziness is still wearing off.]

I've never been very good at that.

[stefanged]

All the more reason you're coming with me. [ He grins, glancing over at her briefly before he focuses his attention back on the road, ] I'd like to think I've learned a thing or two about that over the years.

[ Even if his time was always briefly interrupted by Damon or some other supernatural causing chaos, he did venture out of the house and visit Woodstock, and Burning Man that one time, and even the grunge scene in Seattle back in the 90's. A weekend beach vacation wasn't too different from the norm, even if it included more surf and sand than he usually got. ]

[deathlessness]

Then I look forward to learning from your expertise.

[Freya is always good at deferring to an expert when she needs to. And there's still so much of the world that she hasn't seen. Maybe a break from it all will give her what she needs to start fresh.]

[stefanged]

[ So the student has surpassed the master, or something to that extent? ]

And I look forward to teaching you.

[ Stefan's smile only grows wider as he steers the car off the highway and towards signs for a small seaside town. Even from the side of the road, the crystalline seas are visible - and the reflection of the sun's rays makes the air seem far warmer than it usually is, this time of year. Add white sandy beaches, as far as the horizon can see, and rows of freshly-painted beach houses - oh, and a pier that seems to stretch on as far as the sky itself, and he might as well have driven them into Paradise. ]

But first, we should probably settle in and check the area out.

[ By which he means: the beach house he may have rented out for them. Open, airy floor plan; a porch that seems to stretch onto the sandy beaches themselves; and even a fully-stocked fridge. Stefan parks the car and climbs out, rushing to grab the luggage.

The old, vampire-y Stefan wouldn't have hesitated to grab them all in one swoop. He still has that sense of pride, but since he lacks his strength? He might've settled for placing anti-gravity spells on all their luggage. If they seem to float in his hands, that was 110% on purpose. ]

[deathlessness]

[While Freya appreciates the gesture, she doesn't think he has to carry all of that on his own.]

Do you need a hand?

[She's a big girl, she can carry her own luggage.]

[stefanged]

I'm good. [ He means it too, waving a couple of fingers and letting those suitcases fly right inside - ] Maybe you could help me with dinner later?

Or um... [ Those suitcases don't actually seem to be flying to their room... ] directing the luggage to where it needs to go....

[deathlessness]

[She laughs a bit as the suitcases go on their wily, whirlwind adventure but a quick wave of her hand, the suitcases disappear from view and reappear in the portion of the living room that she can see through one of the windows. It's possible that they bump into a few things as they do, but there's no major harm done.]

There. That's better.

[stefanged]

[ Stefan raises his eyebrows at her skill, almost wanting to let out a low, slow whistle. ]

Damn. [ He shakes his head fondly, half-wondering just where he'd went wrong, and half-wondering how she makes this magic thing look so effortless. ] You're going to have to show me that trick again sometime.

[deathlessness]

Don't worry, you'll get it eventually.

[She wanders her way to his side, tucking her arm in his to pull him close.]

It takes practice, as all things worth doing do.

[stefanged]

I know. [ Yet he can't help feeling slightly frustrated, even as he allows himself to be pulled in. ] Just like Rome wasn't built in a day...

[deathlessness]

Exactly.

[She offers him a small smile in return.]

You'll get it. But it's a skill, just like cooking. I'm sure you weren't whipping out gourmet meals on your first try.

[stefanged]

Well, no... [ she's got him there, and Stefan can't quite help the laugh that escapes his lips. ] Though I'm sure everyone'd like to think otherwise.

So do you wanna settle in first, or uh, do you need a little help?

[ and not in the supernatural, "let him float her luggage into the room" sense. ]

[deathlessness]

[She raises her eyebrows a bit at that "need a little help" remark, but the expression is decidedly flirty.]

What kind of assistance are you offering to provide?
