Four years isn't a long time, not to anyone who lives an ordinary life with no loss. Not to anyone who lives in Mystic Falls. It's just another set number of silly traditions, happy holiday's and town events, replaying over and over and over again. For Hope, four years has felt like a lifetime. She's barely eighteen and yet, she feels like half of her life has already been lived. And truly, she just wants to forget it ever happened in the first place.
or
Hope Mikaelson is back in Mystic Falls four years after the loss of her dad. Now an orphan, she's living with Alaric Saltzman and her ex-stepsisters, Lizzie and Josie. Life in Mystic Falls is going to take more adjusting than she ever prepared for, her world seems like it's completely flipped upside down, and people she knew aren't who they used to be. Now attending Mystic Falls High School for senior year, she doesn't have a clue where she belongs.
But maybe she'll have one hell of a time figuring it out.

High School AU
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!!!
