Hello and welcome to the ideas that flutter in my mind only for the couple known as 'Elejah'!

I call this the 'cutting room floor scraps' as these ideas can have good potential or they don't have good potential.

After reading and flipping through so many stories like this one-from DZ2's Den of Delights (all about Harry Potter), to Midnight172013R's Original Drabbles and its sequel, I decided to just post these ideas and some little challenges/ideas with guidelines into something like this!

If you want me to make one of these into a good story or if you want to adopt one, please PM me!

I'm only going to post only 4 at the moment and one of them is already a story!

Hope you enjoy reading these!

Aria

Title: Nature and Fate

Summary: What if Elena was around a thousand years ago, Elijah's wife and the mother of Kol? What if she was killed by Fin only for Ayana to cast a spell on her to return when both Fate and Nature decided that she should return?

Notes for story: I have Kol as Elijah's son instead of as his brother while Elijah will have a twin named Daniel who is the canon version of Elijah (only in TVD seasons 3 & 4 and all of TO), instead of having the doppelgangers appear every five hundred years they appear every two hundred years (Elena and Tatia weren't the only doppelgangers in the 10th century-there was a third one), The Mystic Falls Gang don't really get along with the newest doppelganger Bianca Gilbert and there was NO HAYLIJAH-KALIJAH-STELENA-DELENA and none of them were with Bianca and also, there will be two good quotes from Once Upon a Time thrown in one in this chapter

Bashings of: Esther, Fin, Caroline-well most of The Mystic Falls Gang-and many more

Pairings: Look on my profile for the list!

DISCLAIMER: if I owned these two series, I wouldn't be doing this and both Elena and Elijah would have been together since season 2 episode 11 but seeing as I'm writing this, I don't own anything except this idea and any characters that you're unfamiliar with

Please please be kind-this is my first ever TVD story that's a crossover of sorts with The Originals

Prologue: The saddest fate

He stood inside the hut that his brother Elijah lived in with his wife and three children. The youngest were twins Azalea and Liliya who were adored by the entire family and there were talks that he heard from Niklaus about both Elijah and Elena planning on having one more child in their family.

He knew that if he killed them that Dahlia's threat will not come after them again.

His mother had taken a great risk at tampering with Kol's magic. She couldn't get to the girls though and their magic could, at any time, call out to Dahlia. Esther couldn't have that and gave her favored son a mission.

Make the girls and their mother-who Esther despised-disappear for good.

Fin steadied his left hand that held a hunting knife and stabbed Elena in her abdomen, knowing that she will bleed out and as he stepped over her fallen body he found the girls-at four years old-drawing in the dirt outside of the hut when he kept chanting in Latin.

The words made no sense to the girls but they fell asleep and the ground covered them, causing them to disappear.

Now, he had to go home and tell mother what he had done.

What he had done for her.

This was the fastest that he had run but he kept pushing himself when he felt ice fill his heart. He wanted to be wrong and that she and the girls were safe.

Dread filled him as he raced into his hut.

Elijah Mikaelson fell to his knees and held his wife-his dead wife-in his arms, tears falling from his eyes before two of his brothers made their presence known but he didn't turn to look at them.

"Elijah…"his twin brother Daniel whispered. "I am so sorry…'Lena is dead but there is no sign of Azalea and Liliya…" he trailed off. Elijah turned his dark eyes onto him while his younger brother Niklaus nodded, his eyes downcast as he saw the despair bubbling in his favorite brothers usually warm eyes.

From where Elijah was, he could see his eldest son Kol look horrified at the condition of his mother as well as himself, his clothes covered in his soulmate's blood-his one true love's blood.

His Elena.

His light in life.

Gone. Taken away from him and only God knows what happened to his daughters.

"Papa…" Kol's voice was laced with heartache and he couldn't blame him. "Are the girls with grandmother or even Miss Ayana?"

Elijah wanted to say yes to him, to hope that he was being honest when Ayana herself appeared, looking tired and distressed.

"Azalea and Liliya are no longer in this time period," she herself had to blink away the tears forming in her eyes and her voice was caught in her throat. Clearing it, she continued. "I can, however, make sure that a descendant of mine will watch and protect them until you yourself find them."

Elijah could only nod and asked in a choked voice, "Can you bring her back to me?"

She shook her head in the negative. It was impossible to bring back the dead without paying a price. The saying she remembered her mother and grandmother still resonated deep inside her-all magic comes with a price. She knew of one way and that was something she read in one of her family's grimoires-if numerous self inflicted deaths were to occur and they overwhelmed the Anchor to the Other Side, it could work.

She blinked and remembered another spell and an idea came to her mind.

Walking over to the distraught man still soaked in his love's blood, she knelt down beside him and placed her right hand over Elena Mikaelson's knife wound. Closing her eyes she began to chant something in Latin, her voice softer now, and the air around them turned frosty cold. The four male Mikaelsons near her felt the magic from not only Elena and Ayana swirl around but the magic from nature all around them bleed into that swirled magic and be pushed back inside the corpse. The second she was done, a small smile graced her lips.

"She will return to you when nature and Fate find another soul who will be killed and then you both will be reunited with your daughters again." As soon as the words left her mouth, she got up and walked over to her own hut that had talismans hanging.

There was one problem though.

It was four years after this that Esther used the darkest of magics to protect her children and only grandson. It was with this magic that she made all of them-after her sweet and innocent Henrik's death-into what's now known as the Original Vampires in which every vampire will be descended from.

There was the whole 'Esther affair' that came out to play in Niklaus becoming a Hybrid and Esther making sure that he couldn't break the curse itself.

During their time, Elijah did not become involved with anyone, wanting nothing more than the two girls and wife he lost.

He spent most time in protecting his only son from whatever or even whomever will hurt him.

They did not know that in one thousand years from their first transformation that the curse will be undone and that those who were lost will come back.

It will be, when both nature and Fate were in agreement.
