Elena Gilbert is an intelligent young woman who seems to have it all: good friends, loving parents, caring husband, great new job in her field. Damon Salvatore has his hands full taking care of his clients, his family and his brother with no appreciation from anyone. Neither of them want any complications in their lives, but sometimes life has other ideas. AU/AH

New to Mystic Falls High, Damon Salvatore is both excited and horrified to find he is falling in love with his student, Elena Gilbert. But what happens when they overstep the boundaries, and their friends and enemies discover their illicit secret?

Moving to Forks for her senior year, Bella finds a very different Jacob than her sunny, extroverted best friend of the past 17 summers. Taking the concepts of Twilight and spinning them with a dark realism and emotional depth, this is the tale of the havoc that Phasing wreaks on the Rez's young Pack, where youth evaporates in the fires of duty and even love is cursed.

His eyes though, his eyes were the same. Dark, intense with a touch of maturity and passion that had drawn her in the first time around. "Jake." She whispered. A Jacob/Bella 'what if'.
