Rose is under a new alias but will fate bring them closer together or push them farther apart? And what about Dimitri? **ORIGINAL STORY LINE AND CHARACTERS GOES TO RICHELLE MEAD***

*A Vampire Academy AU fanfic* An AU fic that branches away from the main storyline during Shadow Kiss: after the cabin, fight, and cave rescue. Dimitri's body isn't there - so he has been turned. Or has he? When he returns, he and Rose make their relationship public. Lissa plans *everybody's* future. Dimitri and Rose kick a** at Rose's trials, Abe, Janine, Art (not dead in this au), Alberta, Kirova, Victoria, Olena support Rose and Dimitri, and Rose realizes that she now has a wonderful family. Romitri fluff, mainly. Rated T for romance, some innuendo; nothing graphic. COMPLETE PS - I am sorry to say that i won't be writing the planned sequels to Coming Home to You or No One Ever Looks Up. I'm not really in the Vampire Academy fandom anymore, much as I love Vampire Academy, and I have too many demands on my time just now to do them justice. If any of you are interested in writing a sequel / follow-up to either or both of these, PM me. I would be happy to chat about it and/or beta. Please also send me a link when you publish, and I'll link to it here and on the other sites this is crossposted on.
