    Summary

    Everyone in Mystic Falls is busy saving Elena Gilbert.

    No one notices the little sister she leaves behind.

    Except Caroline.

    Taking care of Riley Gilbert begins small. After school visits. Trips to the park. Milkshakes at the Grill. But the more time Caroline spends with her, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. Riley has been surviving in the spaces everyone else forgot.

    When the Mikaelsons take an interest in the quiet child with strangely familiar eyes, Caroline finds herself pulled into a very different kind of conflict.

    One that has nothing to do with doppelgängers.

    And everything to do with protecting the family she chose.

    Summary

    Marina doesn’t remember when this all started. They don’t talk about it. If she were to hazard a guess, it was sometime between the year their training sessions becoming semi-regular and four months ago, when Mox scrubbed the lingering grapple-sweat out of his face, snaked his wet paw over Marina’s heaving clavicle, and asked her to do him a favor he already knew she’d accept – all about a seven minutes before the motherfucker bulldog choked her unconscious despite her tapping out, or maybe because of it.

    ***

    on Marina and her peers.

    Summary

    It is after she has killed that poor man, and Bonnie stares at her in horror, and Elena has thrown herself in front of her to stop Damon from staking her that Caroline realises everything has changed. She sobs in that tiny toilet and lets Stefan calm her, but she knows this can’t last. Damon has been making his life miserable too and he hasn’t done anything to stop it. How can he possibly help her if he’s not strong enough to go against his brother?

    Caroline flees after the carnival, and ends up in New Orleans.
