Some of you have heard this already but Kai's back. We don't fully know why yet, but somehow, when they broke the Gemini Curse, he and Jo were unmerged somehow.

The bad news is that they're still connected, so anything that happens to Kai happens to Jo.

The good news, is they're still connected so Kai is invested in keeping Jo alive, for now. Knowing him, he's probably going to find a way around it eventually but for right now, he's stuck.

[He doesn't trust this turning over a brand new leaf bullshit.]

I don't know what Jo is going to do yet, but I promised I would keep people updated, so. This is the update I have.

More. Freaking. Linking. Do we know if Kai did this, if this is his contingency plan? Very 200-whatever. Very Katherine Pierce.

I know I came from a place of anger, but, Kai inside the spell's mind palace didn't feel... pushy. Or, like he always did. He didn't even asked for forgiveness. He helped, threw me the key and let us out without him.

Not saying I trust him any farther I can fling him with magic.

If he and Jo are still linked, we do have to consider that MAYBE Jo's psyche is still linked to him, too.

Doesn't make him less dangerous but it might make things less precarious. Until, like Stefan said, he trips in either direction.

Just keep him away from Elena and Bonnie.

[personal profile] woodenbullets 2025-12-01 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I second Jer.

[personal profile] recrudesce 2025-12-01 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Can we get a little more information on the linking. Like, his pain is hers?
unforgivably: (here for planning with muscle)

DONE

[personal profile] unforgivably 2025-12-01 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Which brings me back to, could Kai have done the linking. Played nice in the mind palace. Playing nice now. Knows it's more complicated now?

As much as I don't want to believe Kai is innocent in any of this, they did just break the curse that was the reason why they were one person in the first place. So it could just be a side effect of that.

@ tyler

I head dived him, and she got pulled in as well. Then I wrenched his arm almost out of it's socket and she felt the pain. This may change over time, but for right now it seems pretty one to one.

I know this is unfair because Ric and Jo live here, but do you think that they can keep him out for like ... a week, just until I head back to Kansas?

[She would just like a Kai-free holiday, please and thank you.]

actually this is done

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2025-12-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Are we sure this isn't part of the other thing? Or are we just assuming that since no one else came with a leash of some kind?

So, just like Katherine and her witch-friend, Lucy. And we can't rule out the coincidences.

But, yes. They did break their generational cycle. Weird to think the cosmic balance would undo the murder murge.

[personal profile] moralitypolice 2025-12-01 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Kai feels like the only leash. Everyone else is hopping on planes, ended up miles away. Kai ended up waking up literally next to Jo.

It does feel separate. It also feels like a part of it.

I hate both.

[personal profile] recrudesce 2025-12-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds one to one to me.

Seconding Elena. I don't need Jo and Ric at Christmas if that comes with Kai on a leash.
woodenbullets: (you're)

[personal profile] woodenbullets 2025-12-01 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Promise I'll contribute more, but seriously, seconding Jer here, too.
unforgivably: (where on the bear were you touched)

DONE.

[personal profile] unforgivably 2025-12-01 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Look, as long as Elena doesn't drop into the great sleep all over again, Bonnie stays alive and Ric keeps a tight leash on Kai AND Jo, we are going to have a holiday. We will mingle. We will be merry.

Also, this is me thirding keeping Kai away. Not while are kids or there.

I don't think Jo wants this to be our problem any more than we do. She'll do what she can to keep him away. We just need to be careful if he does show up.

[Because just because Jo tells him to do something doesn't mean Kai will listen. Or at least as far as Stefan is aware.]

As much as I would love to punch him in his face.

Punching him would punch Jo.

[personal profile] moralitypolice 2025-12-01 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody is punching Kai.

Stefan's right. Kai is Jo's problem. He will always be her problem. If I washed my hands of it, than so are we.

Okay. So we're just going to have Christmas and hope for no unexpected party crashers. Standard Mystic Falls holiday.

We'll make it work. It's just Christmas - we've managed through worse.

We can all hope.
