Disclaimers: Vampire Diaries belong to L. J. Smith and the CW. The title 'On the Origin of Species' belongs to Charles Darwin. And Darwin Havens now belongs to this community; feel free to use him, if you want to. You don't even have to ask me. After all, I didn't ask CW, Julie Plec or Lisa Jane either.

AN: Welcome to a Universe where Finn is actually fun! Where Kol Mikaelson may or may not have died of Alcohol Poisoning and Klaus best friend is a small, furry creature that doesn't bark.

The story follows the events of the second half of season 2, starting somewhere right at the end of Episode 2x12 'The Descent.' Some of the events have been moved around and some changed to make them fit into my schemes. And as of chapter 12, the story no longer follows the events of season 2, but takes off in its own direction. It mainly centers around my OC; Darwin, and Damon, Alaric, and Elijah. And after chapter 12 Klaus/Caroline.

Contains lots of character bonding over booze, books, and Darwin's home-made, organic brownies that may or may not contain a speciel ingredient. The pairings remain as they were during season 2, meaning Stefan/Elena, Jenna/Alaric, Damon/Andie, and Elijah/His Morality. And Klaroline in later chapters, because why not?

Btw, I take my writing very seriously. I seek to always keep it entertaining, surprising and my facts as accurate as possible. I do research the things I write about. I would like to know what you think, but there is no pressure. Review if you feel like it.

Warnings: Clumsy English that gets a lot better along the way, drugs, drama and lots of bad/crazy humour. Rated T for excessive violence and some words. (But there won't be much profanity, as I am too old for that sh*t.)
