Klamille

Klamille is the het ship between Camille O'Connell and Klaus Mikaelson from the The Originals fandom.

Season 1
Upon his arrival in New Orleans, Klaus tried everything he could to earn Marcel's trust so he could take back his former home. Whilst sitting in a bar, he noticed him staring at Camille as she sat at another table studying. When she got up to leave, Klaus brought her over to Marcel and he asked her out. Later, Klaus compels Camille to give Marcel a chance and to report on his whereabouts and who he saw. In Tangled Up In Blue, Camille arrived at Marcel's charity event and there seemed to be some tension between them. Klaus complimented Camille on her looks and she returned his compliment with “You clean up pretty good yourself”, to which he smiled at and replied, “Well don't be fooled, love, I'm the devil in disguise.” Some time later, he compelled her to not remember Marcel lashing out so she would give him another chance (this was done for his own gain since he still needed her). When they shared a moment that she interpreted romantically, feeling embarrassed, she commented, "Wow, I totally misread that." thinking it wasn't something more, but Klaus answered that she read it quite well, but they all had their roles to play. He then compelled her to remember a good time with Marcel and left.

Throughout Season 1, Klaus often compelled and used Camille against Marcel. Though overtime, he began to really care about her. He told her about who he really was and about the supernatural world, but compelled her to only remember when he was around. Klaus compelled her again to help him meet Davina (who Marcel had entrusted Cami to look after) at St' Anne's Church. At the church, Camille told Klaus of her brother Sean's mass-murder suicide and how she'd had a hard time coping since then, experiencing nightmares and insomnia. That night, Klaus came by to her apartment and Camille speculated that maybe it was a vampire who compelled Sean to kill and he didn't actually go insane. Once he realized Klaus was here to take her pain away and forget, she begged him not to compel her but he explained that her need to know what happened was consuming her and would only put her in danger. Despite her pleas, Klaus ultimately compelled her.

In Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, Like he promised, Klaus discovered what happened to Sean and showed up at Rousseau's to tell Cami the truth. He revealed that Sean was hexed by a French quarter witch, Agnes, and that he truly was innocent. Camille, upon finding out that Klaus had killed the witch responsible, slapped him. Klaus didn't retort but instead asked why she had done that, and she yelled that killing the person responsible would not bring her brother back. She vowed that she'd undo his compulsion, and once she did, he'd wish he never laid eyes on her. Klaus disappeared using his super speed after that.

In The River in Reverse, Klaus compelled Camille again, only this time not for Marcel but instead to write his memoirs. She complained about the typewriter and became irritated with how he repeated the same thing over and over again: that everyone he knew was out to get him. She told him that he was repeating a destructive cycle and that he was the architect of his own unhappiness. Klaus responded that he didn't ask her for advice, and she laughed, saying that of all the people he could've chosen to report on his life story, he chose someone with a master's in psychology? She explained that the truth was that he compelled her because he wanted someone to talk to and understand him, but made her forget everything after because he was afraid to trust. When Klaus found the secret code her and her brother Sean had used, he asked her what it was and she sarcastically replied that it was a mystical plot against him. When he almost took it seriously, she calmed him down and said it was "a tattoo design". When he told her to draw on her own time, she angrily answered: "This IS my time! YOU steal it from me!" and left.
