This story takes up after Aria finds Ezra's book in the cabin. He was never able to catch up to her. Reeling from all the revelations in her life, Aria makes the decision to leave Rosewood and keep her pregnancy hidden from Ezra. Years later after their daughter makes it her mission to find him.

This is the typical girl next door story, but with Aria and Ezra it might not be so typical. AU/No Alison or A. If you read my other version of this, this is an updated one and the writing is much more solid and developed, and the themes are a little more adult, especially as the story progresses. The storyline is similar, but not quite the same.

To make Elena human again, Stefan sacrifices himself. Upon giving up his life, he doesn't realize that Elena and Damon will do anything they can to bring him back. And when Stefan returns, Elena is heartbroken to learn that he no longer remembers her. Will Stefan and Elena be able to overcome the biggest obstacle they've ever faced? Can they start over completely?
