Title: A Normal Life: Chapter 15
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Verse: A Normal Life
Relationships: Stefan Salvatore / Elena Gilbert, hinted Bonnie Bennett / Damon Salvatore, hinted Alaric Saltzman / Jenna Sommers
Summary: Career Night raises a lot more questions than it answers, not just for Damon but also for Bonnie and Alaric.
Notes: This chapter was a lot harder to write than I anticipated, but it also got a lot of the plot points that I'd been desperately trying to incorporate earlier! I'm just glad I got to throw them in, before things got worse. ♥

( His speech was one panic-induced blur. )

Title: Presents
Fandom: Vampire Diaries
Universe: AU (A Normal Life)
Relationship: Stefan Salvatore / Elena Gilbert
Summary: After the mayhem that had occurred the day before, Stefan hadn't expected much for his 17th birthday. His girlfriend Elena proves him very, very wrong.
Notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEIGH DARLING!!! I hope your sweet 17th is a fabulous one. ♥ I couldn't ask for a better baby sis.

( Some people welcomed their seventeenth birthdays with cake at midnight or birthday presents from their loved ones. )

Title: Don't Drink the Milk
Fandom: Vampire Diaries
Universe: A Normal Life
Relationships: Damon Salvatore + Mason Lockwood (platonic); Jenna Sommers/Alaric Saltzman
Summary: Mason finally decides to play tabletop RP with Damon - except, the game Mason chose is a bit unusual by Damon's standards.
Notes: This one-shot doesn't match up with the main story. Frankly, I'm not sure it's even 100% canonical, considering it's roughly S2 (Richard Lockwood is out of the picture; Sheena moved back to town with Mason and Jules; Alaric and Jenna are dating, etc), but I wanted to develop Damon's close circle of friends, since they're wildly different from Stefan's close circle.

( Damon hosted tabletop games on Thursday evenings. )

Title: Unnecessary Attention
Fandoms: The Vampire Diaries + Brooklyn Nine Nine crossover
Universe: Fusion
Summary: Rebekah has one simple rule: don't attract unnecessary attention. Of course, in less than a week, Elena breaks it (spectacularly) in Brooklyn.
Notes: A graduation present for my little sis Mads. Congratulations, m'dear! ♥ I am so proud of you!!

( Bex only had one rule: don't attract unnecessary attention. )

Title: Doppelganger Theory
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Verse: alternate
Rating: PG-13 (for the usual CW stuff: language, violence, references to sexual content)
Relationship: Elena Gilbert / Tom Avery; Jenna Sommers / Alaric Saltzman
Summary: There’s this theory that every few hundred years, two people consistently seek each other out, because only they can ease the other’s heartaches. Elena doesn’t believe in the supernatural, but even she knows she can’t fight her destiny.
Notes: Sometimes I hate that this canon is all I can write for lately, but I was so mad that they ignored this potential in TVD (Elena and Tom were technically soulmates and they never knew of the other's existence?? What kind of wasted plot is that?) so I wanted to set things right in fic.

( She's fifteen the first time they meet. )

Title: Normal Influence
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer & The Vampire Diaries crossover
Universe: Far Better Place
Relationships: Dawn Summers/Connor, implied Jeremy/Bonnie, implied Damon/Elena
Summary: Jeremy heads to Italy to train some Slayers, only to realize that in this new, crazy world, he's the normal one.

( Senior year couldn't have passed any slower. )

Title: A Normal Life: Chapter Three
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Relationships: Stelena, platonic Defan, platonic Damon/Jenna, platonic Stefan/Tyler, platonic Deremy,
Summary: Stefan's visions are scarily accurate, Damon fights off a vampire, and the world continues to get crazier and crazier by the day.
Notes: This is an earlier draft of the chapter posted on FF.net, and it might not be as polished. I'm leaving it online for posterity, mainly.

( more underneath the cut )

Title: A Normal Life
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries (role reversal AU)
Universe: ANL ("a normal life")
Relationships: Stefan Salvatore / Elena Gilbert, platonic Stefan Salvatore + Damon Salvatore
Summary: Damon wanted a more exciting life than grad school and caring for a kid brother. He got his wish, but not in the way he had exactly expected it.
Notes: This is unbeta-ed! I've been meaning to write something for this fandom for a long time, and I figured this would be the best way to get my feet wet in the fandom. ♥ I hope you guys like it!

( Life should've been more exciting than this. )

Title: Stupidly Perfect
Fandom: Vampire Diaries + Teen Wolf [crossover AU]
Relationship: Bonnie Bennett / Scott McCall; implied Bonnie Bennett / Jeremy Gilbert
Characters: TVD - Bonnie Bennett, Stefan Salvatore; Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes, Damon Salvatore, Jeremy Gilbert, Sheila Bennett (mention only). Teen Wolf - Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin; their parents, Allison Argent, and the Deatons are mention only.
Summary: When Bonnie decided to help a lost high school student, she certainly didn't expect him to a) be a werewolf, b) get her mixed up in two vampire killings, and c) be the most perfect guy she's ever met - AND she's including her boyfriend, Jeremy Gilbert, in that ranking.
Notes: Timeline's super fuzzy here! I intended it to take place midS5 for Bonnie, but anywhere between Season 3A and 3B for Scott (or heck, even down the road if it needs to).

( Lost tourists were one of the best parts of Bonnie's daily walk across campus. )
