Summary
Arben Bukoshi was thirty-seven when he died in Prishtina, having spent most of his ordinary life dreaming about leaving for somewhere he could finally live freely.
Then he wakes up as **Aiden Gilbert—Elena Gilbert's twin brother**.
Aiden is an impossibility: a male Petrova doppelgänger, a Traveler, and, unbeknownst even to himself, a siphoner whose foreign soul unconsciously feeds on his own supernatural magic. Everyone, including Grams, simply thinks he's an average witch.
He also remembers *The Vampire Diaries*.
Mostly.
Aiden knows the major characters and disasters waiting for Mystic Falls, but he's no superfan, his memories are imperfect, and every change makes canon less reliable. Everyone else eventually decides his impossible knowledge must mean he's a seer.
Aiden is perfectly happy to let them believe that.
By fourteen, he's already made one enormous change: freeing Enzo from Augustine and hiding him at the Gilbert lake house.
Then Stefan Salvatore arrives in Mystic Falls.
Canon has begun.
Unfortunately, Aiden got there first.
