KLAUS a n d CAROLINE
Appreciation Thread

"I believe that Klaus went after Caroline only after his mother 'gifted' him with 'forgivness'(I have a feeling he had a VERY good reason for killing his mother 1000 years ago... but I think it's also what broke and molded him into the monster we where introduced to in season 2)... because he wanted that innocent, playfull, loyal, sweet part of himself... (The side of him we saw in the viking flashbacks) It's extremely indearing watching him try to connect with Caroline and in truth re-find the man he once was." - ShadowSouls (Dani)

"I love Klaus and Caroline together because even though they differ from each other, they are still similar in many ways. Neither of them hasn't have a close relationship with their parents, and they both have had to face disappointment and loss in their lives. Deep down they both just wanna feel loved and be accepted for who they are. There are also many things they can learn from each other. Caroline brings out the humanity in Klaus and Klaus wants Caroline to realize that life is worth taking chances. Together they can explore all the great possibilities the world has to offer and help each other grow." - Jadeleine (Janna)

"I am still in awe of how hard and fast I fell for these two. There is just something in their scenes that pulled me in. There is something there, something worth believing in. Maybe it's the undeniable chemistry or the way Klaus lights up around Caroline. Maybe it's the thought of him showing her the world or her learning him to trust, to love. Maybe it's the potential they have. I find them intriguing, exciting, beautiful and simply magical. They have enchanted me, as I know Caroline has enchanted Klaus and Klaus will enchant Caroline. This is just the beginning for them, there is so much more to come. They will continue to capture people, as they have captured me. All I can say is that I feel privileged to call myself their shipper and even more so to share my love for them with all the wonderful people in this thread." - Ankatje (Anka)

"On the surface, Klaus and Caroline are the bad boy and the good girl, but it's so much more than that. Her beauty, strength and light represent the goodness that he hasn't felt since he became immortal. He has carried around with him a darkness since his life was irreversibly altered a thousand years ago. Her light replaces the darkness the closer he gets to her. He's also opening himself up to her, and showing her that he can connect with someone, and be vulnerable with them. He's showing her that he's capable of developing genuine feelings for her. From the very first moment, he's been telling her to imagine the infinite possibilities that are available to her now that she's a vampire. At the same time, he's reminding her that he will wait for her to be ready to let him show her the world, and help her embrace her true nature as a vampire. All she has to do is give him the chance. There's a pull between them, despite his perception of love and her perception of him. Neither one of them chose to become what they did, but what bonds them is their recognition of the pain and struggles they've each endured as a result of their parents' reactions to those changes, with fear and hatred of them. They have the perfect balance of similarities and differences to make them one amazing couple." - rocky845 (Rocky)

"There are so many reasons to ship Klaus and Caroline. But for me it’s a feeling I get when I see them interact with each other. There’s just something special about them. And the chemistry is undeniable. Despite all the bad things Klaus has done and will probably do in the future, he’s never that way around Caroline. He genuinely likes her and is making an effort with her. He’s not manipulating her or compelling her. He wants her to be with him because it’s what she wants. Not because he forced her. He’s willing to wait forever if that’s what it takes. That’s how deeply he feels for her. They haven’t even known each other very long but Klaus knows he want her. And only her. He knows Caroline can be so much more. She deserves so much more. And he can’t wait to show her everything the world has to offer. He can teach her to accept her vampire side and she can bring out the humanity in him. Klaus and Caroline could be amazing together." - *Beautiful Stranger* (Natasja)

"I have loved Klaus and Caroline since their first scene in 3x11. Their chemistry is just undeniable. They way they look at each other, so intense. They don’t even have to use words. After all the bad stuff he has done he can still have such a good heart when it comes to Caroline. He cares so deeply for her. He wants her to be safe and to experience everything the world has to offer. I love that this relationship will take time, the buildup is everything. And Caroline might deny it right now but she is affected by him. Being with Klaus is exactly what Caroline needs. And being with Caroline is exactly what Klaus needs. They will bring out the best in each other." - ~Lost and Found~ (Sandra)

"There are a lot of reasons why I love KC. The chemistry and intensity in their scenes is flawless. The understanding between them is already so deep and we’ve barely scratched the surface. But what really draws me in is what KC can offer each other. Caroline has always felt like second best, has always tried so hard to get a guy’s attention and has always been in Elena’s shadow – “I try so hard and I’m never the one.” But then Klaus came along and Caroline didn’t have to do anything but be herself and he noticed her. He chose her and only her. She is the one for him – “I fancy you. You’re beautiful, you’re strong, you’re full of light.” Klaus could rid Caroline of her insecurities and give her everything her heart desires. He could teach her what it means to have eternal life. Whereas Caroline brings out the spark of humanity that is still within Klaus. She could help him learn to connect with people and overcome his trust issues. And because Caroline doesn’t fall for his charms Klaus has to put real effort in which brings out genuine emotion. The journey between these two has only just begun and I look forward to seeing it play out." - TheOnlyException (Aimee)

"Klaus and Caroline captured my heart instantly. I’ve never been more bewildered by a couple and still find a number of reasons to love them. Caroline is sarcastic, the opposite to desperate, strong, determined, and challenging. It’s the challenge that Klaus feels allured to. He felt the embrace of her from the very first moment. The beauty inside of her, twinkling eyes, soft smile, and sweet laugh. Klaus sacrificed one spot of humanity in order to save Caroline’s life. When he looks at her, he dreams of a pure Angel at heart. Caroline was ready to say goodbye to her life, when Klaus heard this he appeared at her door immediately, ready to offer her a second chance to live. He’s never harmed or forced her into making any decisions. Klaus showers her with glamorous gifts, paints her beautiful pictures. He always manages to keep her safe in life. He wants their connection to feel real, not forced or under compulsion. He looked at the shattered girl, wanting to give her everything in life. Deep down Caroline feels connected to Klaus. Their journey is only just beginning. She understands him like nobody else ever could. It terrifies her. She doesn't want to make herself feel him and yet still finds herself attracted to his charm." - Moonlight_Shine (Katie)

"Caroline and Klaus. The story of an egotistical Original hybrid and the sweet baby vamp. On the morning of her 18th birthday Caroline finds herself wishing for another life. What she doesn’t know is that her wish is about to come true. That same night, Klaus offers her his blood, a chance at a new life and most importantly, something Caroline never had before: a choice. But he doesn’t stop there. He pursues her, he compliments her in an honest and bashful manner, he shares his secret passion with her and the always impulsive hybrid even tries his best to handle her with the delicacy she deserves. Caroline, for her part, challenges him, pinpoints the root of all of his errors and in the end, helps him connect with her. Klaus knows that one day Caroline will crave for more, but he’s willing to wait centuries for her to let him enrich her life. He soothes her fears with a whisper and gives her strenght to continue living. Klaus and Caroline. The story of a tormented man and the girl that finds safety in his arms." - chuletasparaexamenes (Mimi)

"Nik and Caro. She unintentionally and unexpectedly crept into his life with a soft broken smile, unaware of the beauty existing in the world outside of that little town in Virginia that almost holds a candle to her own. She wasn’t like the thousands of girls he’s met during the thousands of years he’s lived. She held something none of them ever dared to possess: genuine beauty. She was full of light. Not flashing lights that made it impossible to fully spot her flaws but like a string of colorful lights hanging on a wall with each light representing a different characteristic. Caroline Forbes didn’t ask to be the light that guided the big bad Klaus back to his humanity. However, one is helpless against fate and after high school, she won't be able to fight it anymore. The world is waiting for her. Klaus is waiting for her." - AllForBeLieving (Shai)

"Sworn Enemies’, Klaus and Caroline have these i n t e n s e u n d e r c u r r e n t s that seem to shine through whenever they’re together. Whether she’s putting him down for being the bad guy, or he’s trying to show her everything she can have if she just lets herself, you can defiantly feel that they have a c o n n e c t i o n that runs deeper than any form of human emotion. They’re so similar, but being on opposite sides of an on-going fight of survival were there are no winners, Caroline refuses to let herself go there with him. He’ll wait for her forever, but I doubt it’ll take her that long to figure out they belong together." - Josie2288 (Josie)

"For me, Klaus and Caroline were love at first sight. I had never grown so attached to a couple so fast. All it took was that one scene, in which Klaus saves her life for me to know that I wanted them to eventually be together. Klaus was the Big Bad Original and Caroline the optimistic baby vamp we had all grown to love. The potential and chemistry between the two is undeniable. They took off like wildfire, but the Klaroline shippers know that this is just the beginning. It is a slow burn. I can honestly say I’m looking forward to every minute of their romance." - Heart&Soul (Natalie)

Joseph: I think there's still some room for a little Klaroline action. I'm a fan of it.
Candice: Everyone is so excited about Klaroline.
Joseph: One thing he’s learned over a thousand years is a bit of patience. If at first you don’t succeed, you’ve got to try, try and try again. There’s no way he’s going to give up on her. She’s the first person to catch his eye in centuries. He really is fascinated by this girl. And he really genuinely believes that he can show her a world that she deserves to have that is her right as a vampire. He wants her to embrace the creature that she has become. He believes he is the person who can help her do that. I think he’s not going to give up. He may have to wait a year or 10 years or a hundred years. But if he’s focused on that, he’ll find a way to get it. He’s not used to taking no for an answer, that’s for sure.
Candice: That's what I loved about Klaus and Caroline's first interaction, which he saved her from the wolf-bite was to open her eyes to opportunity. 'Cause Caroline is a small-town girl, I mean, she probably would've just stayed in Mystic Falls, and been sitting around with other housewives, and talking about how she won Miss Mystic Falls back in the day. This is the first time that someone's looking at her, saying, 'There's this whole world out there — you can travel, you can experience music and nice things, and see art and culture,' and just has created a very romanticized life. So I think there's definitely a possibility for a romantic relationship to happen between those two.
Joseph: His feelings about Caroline are genuine. There isn't a motive there where [viewers will] find he’s been manipulating her all along for something that he wants. I wouldn’t say in love at this point but I’d say he’s infatuated with this blonde young vampire girl who doesn’t understand her true potential and her true power of being what she is. She really has no idea how truly beautiful she is to him.
Candice: I really love the dynamic between Caroline and Klaus. It's very odd. It doesn't make sense at all, but yet it makes perfect sense, so it works so well. It was one of those, 'This is either gonna really work, or this is gonna be really awkward,' and yeah, there's an odd chemistry between those characters. And the kind of comedy of, you know, he's just so worldly, and she's a little bit more girly and very modern, so yeah, it's very funny.
