This is a soulmate mark/college AU, where Hope never went to the Salvatore School, and never met the super squad. The rest of Hope's childhood was basically canon, but Klaus is alive and he is a very overprotective dad. It's Hope's 18th birthday and she gets her very special soulmate mark, but that's not the only thing happening on her big day. She starts to have recurring dreams about a strange figure with flaming wings. Hope and the twins are the same age in this story, the twins are a couple months older.

What if Hope went to New Orleans after she saw Landon and Josie kiss? What if she never stayed? It sets 15 years after the Malivore jump. Hope left Mystic Falls with something unexpected that was Landon's. She is a full tribrid now, and she rules New Orleans just like her dad. Things are different from The Originals and Legacies plot. Every Mikaelson is dead, the Hollow killed them. Malivore is destroyed for good after season 1 ended. It is a Handon story!!!
