House of M (stylized/abbreviated HOM) is a spin-off of the Originals TV series picked up at the end of the events of the season one finale by Tyler Gracyne and turned into a series of its own and is directly linked to Something Witchy Comes This Way, from which Rebekah's life before travelling to NOLA is to be chronicled. This series (unlike the original show) will follow Rebekah Mikaelson as she returns to New Orleans to see how her brothers have fared after Niklaus calls her giving her startling news: he has a child. Upon arrival, Rebekah learns that her brothers had been caught up in war between witches and vampires and, more recently, werewolves. Davina Claire, a teenage witch, possesses the powers of herself and three others and they eventually learn that she has used her power to resurrect the Original Hunter, Mikael – their father, forcing Rebekah to intervene in attempts to save her family from his wrath, but things are further complicated as the werewolf mob come to town and the resurrection of their long dead brothers Kol and Finn, returned to their witchcraftic nature accompanied by Sage, and not pleased with the way Niklaus and Elijah have treated them for the last thousand years, they bring an ominous message from the leader of all New Orleans Witches. |
Production[]
This fanon series was started after Tyler Gracyne decided to start writing a fanfiction based on the Originals just as he had with Witchy Comes This Way#Episodes Something Witchy Comes This Way. But he struggled on where to begin the story as there was a lot he planned to do differently from the Originals TV show. For a year, he dragged out the planning, pondering everything from a title, and to how he’d pull off removing Rebekah from the Originals until finally, he figured it out: Rebekah would be a main character on the first season of Witchy Comes This Way#Episodes SWCTW, refusing to go to New Orleans no matter what Elijah called to update her on due to her relationship with Matt, thereby cutting off her part of the Originals storyline out until she finds out that not does Klaus have a child, but she has been born through a call with Elijah around the time of ‘‘From A Cradle To A Grave’’ at the finale of SWCTW. But these plans were still dragged out after Tyler Gracyne pondered a new, suitable title. Something Wampitch This Way Comes was good as it would less ensure the survival of the Originals because the title meant "Werewolves-Vampires-Witches". The show starts after Rebekah Mikaelson gets a call from New Orleans in the finale of Witchy Comes This Way#Episodes Something Witchy Comes This Way (in which she was a main character) from her brothers, Tyler Gracyne decided to make an almost completely new storyline of what conspired in New Orleans in the meantime. In this reality (which is fazed due to Elena, Silas, Amara, Katherine and Stefan’s interference with the Crystals of Bezel) many things that happened in the TV show are changed and explained to the reader when most of them are explained to Rebekah in the premier. A summery of the plot of season one has been written (see Plot of Unwritten Timeline). |
Differences between this universe and the original[]
Unlike the original: Davina begins hiding out with Marcel, but is able to go to school due to being hidden under a cloaking spell from the eyes of any witch placed on her by Lenore, thus allowing her to have a normal life with Tim, her slow-developing boyfriend, Josh (her new best male friend) and Tina (her best female friend), who are both human for a majority of the time before Rebekah’s coming, thus giving Davina better morale than her original counterpart (the three of them end up dead, Tim irreversibly so, but Tina and Josh are turned into vampires by Klaus, who had abducted the three of them in hopes of forcing Davina to join him, when she defied him, he killed them and left Tim to die as a reminder to Davina of how expendable her relationships with humans are and that he controls her life). This has the effect of rendering Davina’s powers uncontrollable, making her accidentally break the veil that kept her hidden from witches, thereby she was found by a group of witches whom she accidentally killed in her fear of death. Klaus often compels Camille and uses her connection to Davina to propel his mission to defeat Marcel. He later has Esther buried in New Orleans and consecrated by a priest to imbue Sophie with the status of an elder, albeit temporary, to complete the Harvest.
Kieran O'Connell dies the same way with the exception that the witch who hexes him is Monique Deveraux in retaliation for his action to stand against the witches for hexing his nephew. After she nearly killed Marcel and a newly vampiric Josh and Tina (who survive and join Marcel’s army but do not participate in the ‘‘From A Cradle To A Grave’’ finale fight against the Originals) she realized how out-of-control she was and gave herself up to Sophie Deveraux and was sacrificed with hope that she’ll return. Bastianna and Geneviève are not resurrected by Celeste Dubois and she keeps the power for herself before she is killed by her ancestors, who are convinced by Sophie and Klaus to complete the Harvest and resurrect all the Harvest Witches instead, but Celeste’s spirit possesses Hayley, and uses her in her scheme against Elijah until an unknown force eventually pulls Celeste from Hayley’s body leaving her fate unknown (to be addressed in House of M), but after she disappears, all four Harvest Girls come back at once and are happily reunited. Sophie is not killed, but hexed by three Harvest Witches, Monique Deveraux Cassie St. Lucia and Abigail Saint Germaine (whom they call Abby), who put her in a permanent coma as punishment for helping vampires and defying the goal of their ancestors. Geneviève is resurrected by the Ancestors to guide the Harvest Girls and protect them from the Mikaelsons, who believe controlling the Harvest Witches will help them control all witches (the Harvest Ritual of this storyline is passed on to one of the Nine Covens every cycle of a 100 year period, they take turns rather than it being native to the French Quarter Coven and therefore, they are not only the center of the Quarter Witches, but of all Nine Covens and when the Harvest was postponed, it negatively affected the other Covens). Geneviève is later instructed to kill Klaus and Hayley’s baby with the Harvest Girls, Davina is present and is not keen but is threatened by her ancestors to do as told, but not before realizing that the Ancestors themselves are scared of something in Purgatory (the Ancestral Plane). Camille’s twin brother, Sean O’Connell does not die in this reality, but ends up in a mental institution after being hexed by Agnes until Davina (channelling the Harvest) heals him of his insanity with magic the same day the other three Harvest Girls and Geneviève plan to execute the baby, Davina insures she is cloaked and busy and steals their hair while they sleep to execute the spell. Klaus’s child gives Hayley the ability to do magic while she’s pregnant, which she often uses when standing against strong foes. Geneviève survives (only because of a protection spell Davina had cast on all Harvest Witches and their mentor) but is shunned and cannot perform magic that involves ancestors and other ancestral witches and Klaus lets her live under this curse of disunity, but only after telling her to leave New Orleans forever and swearing to kill her if she ever defied him again. Diego lives and has a casual sexual relationship with Josh after he turns. Mikael is resurrected by Davina with the power of all the Harvest Witches and Hayley’s baby (whose birth created a living Nexus Vorti). Vincent Griffith is a fallen witch veteran who was murdered by his own wife and is resurrected the night Geneviève fails to kill the baby as a way of replacing her as an elder and mentor to the girls, he is also possessed by the spirit of Finn Mikaelson, the Mikaelsons's eldest brother. Esther Mikaelson remains dead, but is consecrated and is controlling the Ancestors from beyond the grave. Hayley fell in love with Jackson on sight and is not doubtful on whether or not she should be with him due to what is known as an "Alpha-bond", but she is in love Elijah, too. After the child is born, Hayley gives her the primary name of Hope, and Zoe as her second name, but also makes her Andréa, christening her Princess Hope Zoë Andréa Mikaelson-Labonair of the Crescent Werewolves and New Orleans, which also establishes a certain peace with the werewolves. This is a summary of the events leading up to the beginning of House of M, for a detailed plot, see more in the plot section. |

Celeste Dubois takes the Harvest Magic. After Celeste’s “death”, her power is released, resurrecting Monique Deveraux and Abigail Saint Germaine (along with Davina and Cassie St. Lucia. see Dissimilarities). Niklaus has Esther buried in New Orleans and consecrated by a priest to imbue Sophie with the status of an elder, albeit temporary.

Dissimilarities[]
Unlike the original: Davina is hiding out with Marcel, but is able to go to school due to being hidden under a cloaking spell from the eyes of any witch placed on her by Lenore, thus allowing her to have a normal life with Tim, her slow-developing boyfriend, Josh (her new best male friend) and Tina (her best female friend), who are both human for a majority of the time before Rebekah’s coming, thus giving Davina better morale than her original counterpart (the three of them end up dead, Tim irreversibly so, but Tina and Josh are turned into vampires by Klaus, who had abducted the three of them in hopes of forcing Davina to join him, when she defied him, he killed them and left Tim to die as a reminder to Davina of how expendable her relationships with humans are that he controls her life). When Davina’s powers grow uncontrollable, she’d accidently broken the Veil that kept her hidden from witches, thereby she was found by a group of witches whom she killed accidently and was then captured by two of her aunts and three of her uncles. They keep her protected from everyone for a time, managing to do so with a great deal of power which is part of the perks of Davina being the only Harvest Witch alive: her family members are still able to do the same level of magic and all but two of her uncles and one of her aunts are in support of her decisions to abandon magic if it means she may not return to life and it is also revealed she has two siblings that were shipped off to boarding school right before the Harvest begun. When Davina’s power begins to unravel the city, it is learned that the Claire Family want her to destroy the city along with every vampire in it once it falls to her fire-based enhanced powers. Niklaus finds her with the help of Marcel and Sophie, who is now able to practise since Davina was captured and kept away from Marcel. At the Claire Mansion where her family are “protecting” her, Elijah and Klaus attack, subduing every one of the witches. Once arriving in Davina’s chamber, she unleashes the power’s she’s been holding back for a while and pushes Klaus to the brink of death after banishing Elijah’s soul to limbo and throwing Marcel in a pool she turns to boiling blood with enhanced molecular control. Drunk on power, she nearly killed Tina and Josh (who survive and join Marcel’s army but do not participate in the From a Cradle to a Grave finale fight against the Originals). Realizing her flaw, Davina decides she is out of control and undoes the debris and voluntarily gives herself up to Sophie and was sacrificed just as her elementals begun to overrun the crescent city. Bastianna and Geneviève are not resurrected by Celeste and she keeps the power for herself before she is killed by her ancestors, who are convinced by Sophie and Klaus to complete the Harvest and resurrect all the Harvest Witches, but Celeste’s spirit possesses Hayley, and uses her until an unknown force eventually pulls Celeste from Hayley’s body leaving her fate unknown, but after she disappears, all four Harvest Girls come back at once and are happy to be reunited. Sophie is not killed, but hexed by Monique and Abigail (whom they call Abby), who put her in a permanent coma that allows her spirit to astral project as punishment for helping vampires and defying the goal of their ancestors. Geneviève is resurrected by the Ancestors to guide the Harvest Girls and protect them from the Mikaelsons, she is also a part of the Claire Family and Davina’s several years great aunt and joins and usually agrees with Davina’s aunts and uncles. She is later instructed to kill Klaus and Hayley’s baby with the Harvest Girls, but fails and is shunned by her ancestors. Camille’s twin brother, Sean O’Connell does not die, but ends up in a mental institution until Davina, Cassie and Abigail heal him of his insanity in the finale. Klaus’s child gives Hayley the ability to do magic while she’s pregnant. Geneviève survives but is shunned and cannot perform magic that involves ancestors. Diego lives and has casual sexual relations with Josh. Mikael is resurrected by Davina with the power of the Harvest.
