They once called her the Mad Dog of the South - the spoiled, short-tempered daughter of Duke Mortane. Feared by nobles, hated by the people, and foolishly obsessed with the Crown Prince who never loved her. Betrayed by her uncle. Framed by a false saint. Abandoned by the man she destroyed herself for. She died cursing her own foolishness... until the gods granted her one final mercy- to return to the past, one year before her ruin. This time, she'll play their game with her eyes open. She'll protect what's hers, crush those who deceived her, and rise from the ashes of her former self. Because this time... the villainess doesn't seek redemption-she rewrites her story.

I'm back. The life I built, the connections I cherished, the happiness I tasted-they're all gone. Once again, I'm back to square one, forced to face this world alone, to breathe, to survive in its cold, unwelcoming embrace. I wish I could return... to somehow be transported back to that world. But when you realize it was nothing more than a cruel trick of your mind, how can you even claim the year you lived was real? All that remains are the haunted memories of that sweet dream, making me confused all over again. Still, I chose to sleep within those memories, the ones that felt more real to me than this so-called reality. To survive, I decided to begin there. To mend my broken life, not all at once, but gently. First, by choosing to live, even when every part of me wanted to give up. Then, slowly, learning to face each wound, each shadow of trauma, daring to confront what once shattered me. Piece by piece, I would rebuild myself, stronger this time. And maybe, just maybe, that choice lead me somewhere unexpected. To the quiet start of my love story-again-with the same person. _ Can be read as a standalone spinoff, but best enjoyed after Book 1.

Someday series: Book 1 of 3 Clarissa Saltzman, the niece of Alaric Saltzman and Isobel Flemming, believed that the stories her aunt told her were nothing but stories. She didn't know about the monsters that lurked in the dark and she definitely didn't know her uncle knew exactly why her Aunt Isobel went missing. And that was why they decided to move to Mystic Falls. But it all made sense when the truth came to light. The stories were real. Vampires, Witches, and Werewolves. But there was another secret. She was destined to fall in love with one of the five originals, Kol Mikaelson. She didn't want it, she knows enough to believe that kind of love wasn't for her. Until he showed up and took her breath away. Kol Mikealson was the black sheep of the family, the wild card, the psychotic manic. And he wasn't looking for love, but the universe makes different plans. He shouldn't have fallen for a girl as clichéd as it sounded that was destined to be his soulmate, and yet here he was enchanted by her. Now they don't want the other to leave. But while the universe pushes them together, there's another force pushing them apart, or rather people forcing them apart.

To error is to human, no one is perfect so there will be grammar mistakes.] ⚠️Warning⚠️ This is a mature book as TVD doesn't really shy away from violence, killing, blood, or addiction. So there is gore, killing, and alcohol/ drug use, violence, strong foul language, intimate scenes (smut/ sort of), toxic relationships, etc. There will be a warning beforehand in the chapters but in case it's not there this is a warning.

🌼Damon Salvatore Fanfiction He was certain he knew love. He had been burned by it twice already. He thought his heart will never be mended, until she came along. She was everything he thought he'd never like. Innocent, pure, sweet, small, and so very human. But she will take him by surprise. She will take them all by surprise.. ...

When her mother announced they were moving once again, this time to a small town in Virginia, Emma assumed it was just one more search for a fresh start in a perfect place. But Mystic Falls was far from perfect, and her assumption far from correct. But by the time she realizes it, it will be too late. Without really looking for them, Emma will stumble upon all of the secrets hidden within the town as well as within her own family. And of course, once you're roped into the world which hides beyond the shadow of night within the small town, it is hard to get out of it. So it's good that Emma doesn't want to. Something keeps pulling her in, or better said... Someone. ----- [Kol Mikaelson / OC] [Book I in The Life Trilogy] [The Vampire Diaries: Season 3 - 4] [Completed: March 10th, 2022]

• A TVD & ORIGINALS AU DIVERGENCE FANFIC • Finding out that I'm the older brother to both of the female characters I adored watching through a TV screen was a true wake up call. After dying, might I add. To make it better those two almost always got the shit end of the stick, while everyone else got their own version of a happy ending. One, destined to suffer, saving everyone else's back side. The other sister had death waiting in the parking lot. News Flash: Death been there, done that. Suffering? Don't make me laugh. My entire existence was designed to suffer. So, why not show my sisters that they can conquer all that and more? I won't let them be blind little lambs waiting for slaughter. I'll show them how to pull the wool over our fur and fangs. 🏷️ All TVD characters, dialogue, and show adaptations belong to L.J. Smith, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, and Warner Bros.

She was having fun until it lasted. She tried to understand but she couldn't, she wouldn't...She gave up. But in a way of giving up, she was in denial about her life, about living, about feeling. All it took was a moment, a second and her life took a 180 degrees turn to the land of the truth... Or the land of a supposed to be fiction. "This could be Something amazing Like lightning inside us The moment that we see What dreams are made of What dreams are made of This is what dreams are made of" I don't own the originals, the vampire diaries.

"You always have to do what you do well, even a madness." - by Honoré de Balzac. That was Bonnie DuBois's motto. Whatever she had to do, or was even told to do, she had to do it well. Though she always found there could be an extension, a change to the novelist's quote. "You always have to do what you do well, the way you want, even if it turns out to be madness." - by the cooperation of Honoré de Balzac and Bonnie DuBois. __________ To Bonnie, who now lived in the 2022 year, it sounded fitting, when in a lost world, a world where she found herself being too bored, unable to do what she wanted without being judged left and right. When she suddenly woke up one day, in a foreign body, she couldn't help but think back to the night before, to the stranger she let inside her home, despite her parents teaching her countless times to never open the door to a stranger. Not only did she go past their teachings but, generously offered him her guest bedroom to stay in for the night. The world thought she was crazy. But the world couldn't help but be drawn to that craziness, and fall deeply and madly in love with Bonnie DuBois. Because the world knew, all the best people are crazy.
