The city doesn't feel real to her. Technicolour lamplights and legged fish, quilts and cakes, and queen-sized couches. The desert heat hovering heavy, her body still burning in that big empty house.

Summary
She’d been free. Freed from a conscience she couldn’t afford to give up again. Free from the grief she’d never actually wanted to abandon, not until the choice was taken from her. But also free from the two brothers that had been taking choices away from her from the moment they’d come to town.
And she didn’t want to give that freedom up. She wouldn’t. Not ever again.
/or/
When Elena feels her humanity returning she finds herself focusing on having finally been free from the Salvatore brothers, and doesn't abandon her justified anger. Unfortunately, she also realizes that her sire bond to Damon isn't fully broken and goes to Rebekah for help, help that involves a little trip to New Orleans.
On the way, Elena will have to deal with her newly returned humanity as well as some long-awaited truths about Caroline's old relationship with the older Salvatore.
There are some things that even the most compassionate person could never forgive.

Summary
Her hair lacked the curls he knew Katerina preferred, and though the leather jacket and the heels looked her style, the flowery red summer dress wasn't quite. But that by itself meant very little. There was no way to predict what kind of role she was busy playing at the moment.
But then her face rose to throw her gaze around the street and even with the distance the recognition hit. Elena.
/or/
An alternate take on Elijah's meeting with Elena in American Gothic.
