Author's Notes

Title: Coping

Summary: When we last saw them, they had defeated evil once again. But now they must face the strongest adversary. Only this time it's not a matter of good or evil. It's just a matter of life… or death.

This is a serious story with no supernatural evil. The only supernatural thing about it is that there are vampires (Stefan, Damon) and a druid (Bonnie).

We are tying up the loose ends at the end of Vampire Diaries IV.

Feedback is a _ MUST _. Read and reply. We need motivation!
