Name: The Salvatore Brother.

Summary: Being an older sibling is hard. But when you have to deal with two younger brothers. One that makes the youngest life's hell, not to mention the youngest has a habit of becoming a famous 'Ripper.' It regularly crosses the line to annoying.

Timeline:

Right at the end of 163 Candles. Elena tried to make Stefan see sense when he was blind with anger. And Stefan was just about to stake Damon. So Lexi came to MF but did not die, as I want her alive. What happened was Lexi came but Damon created another Vampire. That was the Vampire he used and killed; Lexi is safe but has already left. Don't worry though she will be returning, either in episodes/chapters or flashbacks. And Stefan is angry at Damon for wasting someone's life.

And Alec – eldest Salvatore –is best friends with Lexi and Sage, more than Damon and Stefan is with them. And they hang out a lot; it usual ends with some really silly adventures. So at some points I may mention things that he has done with them.

But I am planning on doing a Side-Story called, 'Alec's Adventures.' It will be dedicated to what he gets up to when he is not with Damon and Stefan or checking up on them. I have one idea that involves a bar, a few drunk Vampires, Mario, Poker, Rome, and The Originals along with Mikael and a frying pan.

Yep… I wonder what could have happened there, it also joins into the explanation of what was going on behind the scenes with Mikael back in Chicago 1922.

But feel free to give me ideas by PM. It can be as silly or impossible as you want. But it has to be something Alec could do either on his own or with Sage and Lexi. Or he could be joined by another Vampire friend of his, even the Mystic Falls gang could join in. I am thinking of doing one with Alec and Elijah… the only thing is I don't know what they could be doing.

I do not own anything about The Vampire Diaries. If I did Kol would still be alive, and it would take more than snapping his neck to kill him.

And He's Back

Alec Alexander Salvatore sighed in annoyance as he watched his younger brothers. He didn't know what Damon had done this time but like always it got a reaction out of Stefan. A reaction that consisted of a wooden stake, a couple of death threats and a few pieces of broken furniture.

He remembered the days when he could leave them and know that they would get along. Now he could not leave them for a few days whenever they ran into each other, without them getting into fights. Of course those days were long gone, just like his mother and father.

He watched as Stefan pulled something out of his jean pockets. It was a wooden stake, he didn't move as he observed. "You missed," Damon croaked surprised at the sudden wooden stake near his heart.

Alec decided to make himself known at when Stefan left the room. He was amused at how Damon jerked his head up to look at him, as he recognised his voice. How could he have not recognised it? He wondered. Like Stefan, Damon had spent many years in his childhood, following him around. Watching him, listening to him and even trying to act like him.

He had also been there through some of their hardest points in the Vampire life. Ripper Stefan, he had observed, hiding some of the deaths to ease Stefan's guilt and helping Lexi when she did some De-Ripper-ing. With Damon, he had asked Sage a favour, but he had always been around. Even when they couldn't see him, he had watched.

But that was in the past, he had to look at the present. The present that was in front of him, in other words his younger brothers trying to kill each other. "Damon," he said as he walked up to him, "what have you done now?"

Alec raised his eyebrow at him as he knelt down beside him. Damon took his cue to explain, once the wooden stake had been removed. "The Founding Council happens to be a bunch of Vampire Hunters," Alec didn't show any surprise at this. He had come to Mystic Falls a few times over the decades and had gotten the reputation of the favourite Vampire Uncle.

This had allowed him easy access to things even his brother knew not of, one of them being the Founding Councils real motives. Of course maybe it was simply because he had not threatened, killed or even harmed on of his younger half-brothers children. He did not know but he was betting more towards the latter then the former.

It made him wonder if his brothers could have had the same trust that he had had with them. He didn't think so. Pushing away the fact Stefan was a Ripper; he was the second favourite Uncle. But it was understandable why Damon was the least favourite, if you ignore his obsession with getting Katherine back and the fact he had killed a few of his descendants; you were left with an Alcoholic self-destructive Vampire.

"They were looking for people who had appeared around the time the 'Animal' attacks started. Stefan and I, where the only ones to make our debut around then." Alec had to admit Damon did have a point.

"So you made a Vampire," Alec clarified, "and then framed said new Vampire to save both you and Stefan's skins?" When Damon nodded his head, he sighed. "I will go down to Stefan," he said as he helped Damon up.

After making sure Damon was in his room, Alec walked down the hallways he hadn't walked down for 3 years. It looked exactly like he had remembered, but then again, he had had (he reminded himself, Damon had killed Zack.) only one descendent around the house. Zack having never tried to have children because of the fear he had lived under his whole life.

He had to admit he missed the children that had grown up in these walls. Males and females, he had played with them. Giving them birthday presents, looking after them when they were ill, he had become their elder brother that protected them like he was with Stefan and Damon.

He silently flinched as he remembered that it was because of them, Zach had not wanted any children. After all he had lived his whole life; keeping the family secret a secret, he hadn't wanted the same life for his own.

He turned into the parlour; it noticed a few more items in the room, making it more 70's-ish. He walked over to Stefan who was reclining in one of the seats; Stefan did not look up at the Eldest Salvatore having already heard him from his voice when he was taking to Damon.

Walking over the cabinets on the far side of the room, he reached under his shirt and grasped the key, he hanged around his neck. Pushing the key into the slot he turned it around, a winced at the sound it made against the quite parlour. In the Cabinet was a selection of decanters, each filled with a different colour of liquid. Had it been anyone else they would have never known which one was which, but Alec who had been the one to place them, knew where each one was. Reaching for one of the decanters he poured himself a drink, inside one of the glass' he had gotten from the selection on the table.

Alec turned to Stefan. "Although you are going to hate me for admitting this, he does have a point. He gave them a Vampire when they were looking for a Vampire." He held his hand up when Stefan was about to interrupt. "I would have done the same, Stefan. We can't choose who lives or dies but we can't choose how we want to live as well as how we protect others who are close to us."

Stefan nodded his head in understanding, "I am not asking for you to agree. Only for you to understand," he paused before adding as an afterthought. "Which I think you did, you did not kill Damon, eve then you had the chance to."

He shrugged before he took a sip of the red liquid in his glass. "Happy Birthday, little brother." He smiled as he reached into his pocket, "I was wondering what to get you, and then I saw this and thought of you." Pulling out a rapped present, "it's your Birthday Present, after all Lexi and I can't be the only presents."

Standing up he patted Stefan on the back as he walked towards the door. Stopping he turned around, is gaze serious. "It seems that'll have to hang around Mystic Falls," he smiled sardonically, "after all can't have my younger siblings trying to kill each other." He then turned and walked out of the room.

So what do you think of Alec?

I just realized as I was writing him, that he's kind of too calm. He just sees Stefan staking Damon and unlike Cali – my other TVD Salvatore Sibling from another story – who would probably freak out and kill someone or try to ignore it. He just carries on like in didn't happen and talks to them normally…

And I already know what his major storyline is going to be. It's kind of easy to guess, but it's not going to go as easily as you would expect. He's going to become the big brother figure to many of the MF gang, even Rebekah and Bonnie.

I have this image in my head – it's probably going to happen as some point – of Alec sitting in the bathroom, having a bath until one of the Mystic Falls gang come through the door asking for his help. Which annoys him, as he rather likes baths but he never has enough time to have one before one of them, phones, barges in or something.
