MJ left Mystic Falls after graduation, and though she kept in contact with people (some more than others), she wasn't going back. Why would she, when she could finally go home? Back to New Orleans with the Mikaelson's. TO S1-2 + TVD S5-6 (OC: MJ Floare-Ruiz): Kol x OC TVD and TO belong to Julie Plec and Crew (plus the writers of the books) MJ and any other OC (and their plots) all belong to me. I put in a lot of work, so please don't steal them xx

Once Upon a Time, MJ Ruiz was the witch who broke the hybrid curse, now...well, she is one. The ancestors are preparing for war, the werewolves are cursed, and the vampires are, once again, rebuilding, and MJ now qualifies as two of those species. Hybrid trumps a vampire - but does it trump Originals? Thank god Kol is there to help her figure it out. TOS3-5 (OC: MJ Floare-Ruiz): Kol x OC

The name of the town should've been her first hint. 'Mystic Falls' It was like she was asking for trouble. TVD S1-4 (OC ~ MJ Ruiz): Kol x OC Some mature content; it will be labelled appropriately :)

Mystic Falls hasn't been the same since Aella Bennett arrived. She's changed the lives of her friends, family, and even the town itself-but the arrival of Katherine Pierce and the Originals is about to bring her toughest challenge yet. With a new power awakening inside her, Aella is forced to trust herself in ways she never has before. She's been a survivor, a fighter, and a protector, but can she face off against the ruthless Katherine and the legendary Originals while keeping her loved ones safe? Follow Aella in Book 2 of The Elemental Difference Series as she fights to protect her town, her boyfriend, and everyone she holds dear. Her strength and wit will be tested like never before as she steps up to face the darkest forces Mystic Falls has ever known.

In the shadows of Mystic Falls, Aella Bennett isn't just another witch. As a half-Bennett, half-elemental, her power is raw and complex, her destiny bound to the vampire-fueled chaos consuming her hometown. Orphaned young and raised by her formidable grandmother, Aella believed she understood her family's legacy and the dangers that came with it. But as she steps deeper into the supernatural world of Mystic Falls, she discovers secrets that push her loyalties and strength to the limit. Thrust into a world where ancient feuds and dark magic threaten her loved ones, Aella finds herself drawn to Stefan Salvatore, balancing love with the risk of her growing powers. As her abilities awaken, Katherine Pierce returns, making Mystic Falls a deadly maze of betrayal and manipulation. Through heartbreak and unexpected betrayal within her own family, Aella learns the limits of her power-and the strength she didn't know she had. But with darkness closing in, for Aella Bennett, death may just be the beginning.
