There are several minor canon changes from the show that are necessary to understand for the story to make sense.

Meet the characters:

Elena Gilbert is the narcissistic, entitled and immensely beautiful A+ student that loses her parents in a car crash.

Caroline Forbes is the neurotic and slightly socially awkward control freak hiding her insecurities behind a mean girl mask.

Bonnie Bennett is the rather judgemental hippie who comes to realize she has special powers.

Stefan Salvatore is permanently transformed by his actions in chapter one. There are obvious similarities in personality but operatively he is no longer the same person.

Annabelle Zhu is the ancient vampire girl trapped in a young teenager's body, an old aquaintance of Katherine Pierce and the Salvatore brothers, a head-strong and intrusive girl on a mission to free her mother.

Elena and Bonnie are best friends. Caroline isn't particularly close with either of the girls and has a low-intensity rivalry with Elena.

Matt and Elena broke up some months prior to the accident which claimed Elena's parents' lives and Matt and Caroline hooked up shortly thereafter in a rebound-type relationship which ended amiably after a couple of months, nevertheless enraging Elena, meaning that Caroline had broken the "girl code".

Thus, Damon and Caroline postdates Matt and Caroline. Zach and Stefan never managed to lock up Damon which means he has been torturing and sexually abusing his "girlfriend" without interruption from the moment they met up until the events of "162 candles".

Since Zach and Stefan never managed to lock up Damon, the events resulting in Zach's death never happened.

The reason that the role of Anna is dramatically expanded in this story is most urgently that with Damon meeting the True Death, there is no longer anyone else invested in opening the tomb in Mystic Falls. Further explanations would greatly spoil the general storyline.

This is a very complicated project for me. It draws on a lot of theories and meta analyses I have created or am partial to for the show and I am trying to remain consistent, but mistakes are bound to happen and later fine-tuning of previous chapters will almost certainly be necessary. Constructive comments aren't just welcome, they are vital.

Please be adviced that there will be a lot of sexual material in this fiction ranging from innocent jokes to downright explicit porn. I will not allow it to completely subjugate the story but this is simply how I write things and I like to advance concepts and plots through sexual metaphor.

And finally...

Important Note:

This is not now nor will it ever become a triangle love story.

Keeping that in mind will greatly facilitate interpretation.

Enjoy!
