A whole different version of Season 4, without sire bonds or dead brothers. A meditation on the nature of love, free will and morality in an imperfect world, through: suspense, romance, steam, angst, and friendship. Tons of Delena as well as Stefan/Caroline/Klaus, Jeremy and Ric, too. Lemons!

Damon and Elena have just gotten back together after Damon's time in the Prison World. Alone in the boarding house, Elena devises a way for them to become re-acquainted with one another on a more intimate basis. Her idea is strip pool, leading to more interesting fun and games. Rated M for bad language and lots of Delena smuttiness, with a little bit of an added kink in there.

"A special kind of human, a Singer, is born to one out of every three vampires, and any vampire who is bestowed with one has a sealed fate." Damon had heard the story for years, had seen the power of the Singer's call first hand. He never wanted any part of it, until the day his own singer is born. But Elena is so much more. *trigger warning*

The night Damon Salvatore met Elena Gilbert changed the course of their destinies forever. But just as the future made itself known, the past caught up with them to destroy it all. Together on the run, Damon finds himself falling for this girl. Hard. But, Damon Salvatore doesn't love and he won't let her change that. No matter how much his soul...his body begs him to give in.

The Gilbert's and the Salvatore's are two families in a small town who hate each other, one family good working on the right side of the law, the other bad and playing on the wrong. The hatred slips down the generations, including the youngest ones, Damon, Stefan, Elena and Jeremy. But it has been said that there is a fine line between love and hate. DE. AU AH
