Summary
When Charlie looked at Lysa and Connor, she didn’t see people she wanted respect and validation from. Not entirely. With them there was a desire for companionship. To let go and make connections.
So, what did she see when she looked at him ? A warning? Or maybe a reminder that this thing she so desperately wanted to be a part of could vanish as fast as Vikram could make his first irreversible mistake.

Summary
they’d go for walks in the park, explore the mall, take trips to the ice cream truck. Sometimes they’d stay up late trying to put together some impossible puzzle, while Chimney told Mara funny stories about her moms she had to swear not to share. Those were the best parts. Seeing that girl smile, and knowing they were doing all they could for their friends. The worst part was understanding that there was nothing neither she nor Chimney could do to fully relieve the stone that pulled at Mara’s heart each time she said goodnight.

Maddie worries Mara isn't fully settling in.

Summary
There wasn't much to do in a small town like Mystic Falls. Go to school on the weekdays, get drunk in the ravine on the weekends, and hope you weren't the main topic of gossip with the locals. Seventeen year old Elena Gilbert thought she was doomed to live a simple, mundane life. What she wasn't expecting was to be thrust into the world of the supernatural, or that they were much closer than she thought.
A modern reimagining of The Vampire Diaries.

Summary
All show. All surface. All deception. Tyranny tried to spin even faster, and found the limit of the fleshy body, stumbling hoof over hoof with arms swinging wide and she was going to end up with bruises wasn’t she, and—
Wicander caught her. Her eyes were closed, but she knew it was him. That was the nature of a contract. Of him. Her momentum sent them both stumbling, but he’d nabbed her quite firmly around the waist while her hands found his shoulders and they traveled few staggering steps before they’d found balance.

Summary
Wicander is the one tasked with teaching Tyranny about the Candescent Creed and therefore the only one who is forced to listen to her. His polite smile is the only one that wavers into something darker when she speaks; it belies something beyond the rest of his family’s disinterested distaste for her nature. Something that she has been clawing at for weeks and making sporadic headway in freeing, which is so annoying that she throws her hands up and sneaks out and away, catches a party invitation on the wind, and goes to get piss drunk amongst the finest relics that Dol-Makjar has to offer just to hear someone yell.
