Hope Mikaelson and Josie Forbes have an emotional link. An emotional link that allows them to speak telepathically, sense when the other is in danger, hear each others thoughts, feel each others pain, sadness, anger, happiness, etc. As they get older, feelings start to happen, things start to change and suddenly their link starts to break. To make matters worse, Josie starts to get sick. Which is not a good sign at all.
Hope desperately tries to keep whatever they have left of their emotional connection from breaking fully, while Josie starts to pull away, causing their link to weaken more and Josie starts looking sicker.
Nobody knows what the fuck to do.
When Rafael says he likes his brother's ex (Hope and Landon broke up in this), Josie's jealousy flares, making her realize that she still has a crush on Hope and might even be in love with her. When Lizzie asks how her sister feels about the tribrid, Jo discovers that she feels so many things with her, but without her she feels rather "Hope"less (pun very much intended)... Originally supposed to be a one-shot but once I hit about 5k words I realized that wasn't going to happen so now at 14k it's divided into chapters :)
