THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
first of all, i do not own any rights to the vampire diaries, the originals or legacies. all rights reserved to julie plec (i think, or warner bros? i don't know the technicalities, but you know what i mean.)
i only own the rights to gaia salvatore and her story only.
PLOTTING
this story will "begin" sometime during late season two, early season three. however, the first act will instead be separate from the original vampire diaries storyline as it will be gaia pre–vampirism. you're welcome to skip this act, but it is important to understand gaia's character and choices that will be made throughout the story.
UPLOADING
i am a university student! so an "uploading schedule" is pretty much non-existent and will be entirely based on my motivation, inspiration and overall writing. i tend to read over a chapter once than post it and later revise to edit, so that's likely what i'll do with this sorry, too. each chapter will be marked if it's been edited or not. anyways, i have high hopes for this story, but i also have two other uncompleted stories on my account, so we'll see. no promises, i'm sorry!
LOWERCASE
yeah, so i know this is some people's pet-peeve, but i literally write these on my phone (which is obviously in lowercase mode, i'm nineteen, i can't help it) and also, i cannot—for some reason—write fanfiction properly. i literally can't do it, i lose all motivation the second i start pausing to use the uppercase button; so this story is lowercase intended until the chapter is updated, in which i will fix all that. (once again, i'm so sorry but this is the best i can do.) also while we're talking writing style—i barley know grammar, like genuinely. i'm trying my best, i promise. also, if some grammar is confusing or just plain out wrong, please comment nicely and don't yell at me or be unnecessarily rude. i'm not a professional writer as much as i wish i was. i'm also fragile. thank you!
TRIGGER WARNINGS
sexual assault, non–consent/rape, death, violence, gore, depression/mental health issues, child abuse, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, sexism, internalized homophobia, homophobia, toxic relationships, sexual content
within this story there will be mentions of all of the above, if this discomforts you, please do not read. however, i will be marking everything above with highlighted TW's before mentioned. there will be no detailed writings of such interactions (sa), but it will be mentioned and described vaguely. please be aware if you choose to read and proceed cautiously.
also, there will be light consensual smut in this story, which will also be marked with a warning if you wish to skip ahead too.
SENSITIVE CONTENT
as previously stated, this story has many sensitive topics. not at all am i attempting to romanticize or normalize any of them. instead, i'd like to use this story to do the opposite and bring awareness, even if it may be through fiction. listed below you'll find a link (which you can use by highlighting, tapping the arrow farthest to the right, selecting "look up" and either copying and pasting from there or tapping if the available link appears) to a website with helplines catering to country and situation. please, if you find yourself in any similar situations mentioned in this story use the link. never feel sorry for needing help. stay safe and feel free to reach out privately if you find anything concerning or inappropriate (with reason) within the story that should not be publicized.
