To save the Mikaelsons, Hope travels back in time. She must find Mikael, before he became a Beast, and persuade him to help bring back her family. But Hope is not supposed to alter any events. Even if it means watching as the Hollow tortured and turned Mikael into a Beast, just to watch the world burn... Yet, Hope cannot help but wonder: What would the Mikaelson Family be like, if Mikael was a kind and loving father? If the Hollow had never hurt and cursed Mikael, would he be had been able to be the father he wanted to his children, the father the Mikaelsons deserved? And with all the secrets Hope uncovered... Will Hope Mikaelson stick to her original plan and ignore her morals for the sake of her family's future? Or will Hope change history, even if it threatens her own existence? ----------- Hope/fem!oc Mikael/Ansel Mikael/Esther Esther/Mikael/Ansel (poly) Qetsiyah/Amara Amara/Silas TO finale.
