Takes place post ep 2x13. Hosie fic of the direction Legacies should've taken but since we have to do the work for them, I've created this. Enjoy! #hosie #angst #jealoushope #gay

Hope Mikaelson is infamous around Mystic Falls. Everyone knows who she is, who her father was, who her family are. No one knows her abilities, but she doesn't have to use magic to rack up a dirty reputation. Nobody knows who Josie Saltzman is, but everyone knows her sister. She's sick of hiding in the shadows of her family, sick of her relationships ending in pieces and she is sick of being ashamed about her magical abilities, tired of wishing she was born a normal girl. These two broken souls need mending, but will they manage to put each other back together, or will they tear each other apart?

Soul marks are one of those rare things that barely never happens in the supernatural world anymore. They appear when the soulmates are 16, and it takes the form of their soulmate's name in their handwriting. Hope finds the beautiful letters of Josie's name tattooed on her skin the morning of her 16th birthday and she kinda freaks out. Or; the soulmate au that was requested on tumblr.

A Hosie-centric continuation of season 2. With Hope still trapped in Josie's subconscious, the young siphon is experiencing intense transcendental dreams and rather ineffable encounters with Hope's wolf. What does it mean? And what will it lead to once they return to the physical realm? Slow-burn. Slightly torturous. Eventually all hidden things must come to light.
