Summary
Caroline Forbes is focused on keeping things simple—school, friends, routines she understands. Klaus Mikaelson comes back after the summer mostly the same… except for the parts that aren’t. Something about him feels quieter, heavier, like he’s carrying pieces she’s never seen before. She doesn’t know why. She just knows that whatever changed didn’t stay behind when he left.

Summary
"Why are you here, Rebekah?"
"Don't you know?"
Dull pain lanced through Elena's chest because she did know. She'd known the moment Caroline had told her that Klaus had sacrificed himself for his daughter.
"Elijah's dead," Elena said.
/or/
Elena gets a visit from someone who hopes that she will agree to be the Orpheus to Elijah's Eurydice.

Summary
She hadn't thought she would ever see that immortal face ever again. Those sharply angular lines of the face; those depths of honor and humanity and cool practicality in his brown eyes; that hidden, tightly guarded well of love Elena had once thought spoken for and then found herself drinking from so freely; those strong shoulders that had softened at her touch a hundred thousand times.
She hadn't thought she would ever see him again. Not when the last time had ended as he burned into ash in front of Elena's sobbing, screaming, horrified self.
She stared at him. Her heart both breaking and mending at once.

-Fifty years ago, Elena watched her husband die; her attempt to remedy that goes just a bit awry. And very abruptly, she's two hundred years in her own past, seventeen, human, and about to meet Elijah Mikaelson (i.e. her dead husband).

Summary
Elena Gilbert had never really thought about how she would die – although she had already died more times than was socially acceptable – but even if she had thought about it, she never would have imagined it would be like this.
She truly had believed that this was the end, that she could finally live her life according to her own choices, but of course, things are never that simple, not for her.
After everything that had happened, she is given a unique chance to go back in time and correct all the mistakes that have marked her journey. However, when trying to change her fate, Elena discovers that time was never her ally, and that even with the opportunity to start over, nothing will be easy. Now, she must face the consequences of her choices and decide how far she’s willing to go to fix what’s been broken.

Summary
Elena Gilbert isn't a grieving, lovesick, vamp-bait teenager anymore. She's been sacrificed by the Original Hybrid, murdered by an Original Vampire, turned into an undead bloodsucker herself, and somehow managed to come out of all that far, far away from Mystic Falls human, with a ton of student debt, a medical license, and a boss who looks uncannily like Elijah Mikaelson's doppleganger.
That last part is the universe just fucking with her. Again.

Summary
“Oh” Elijah says as his eyes widen slightly, and in an instant flit over her stomach, “it appears congratulations are in order.” Of course he can hear the extra heartbeat coming from her uterus. “May I ask who the father is?” He sounds a little strained and part of her enjoys the way his lips purse and eyes harden at the thought of her with someone else.
“You are.” He opens his mouth to say something but makes no sound. Well, at least she finally caught him off guard.

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.
