Lydia Rosette Gilbert. The youngest of the Gilbert siblings. A family known for staying strong and staying together, despite the many tragedies they suffered. That bond never applied to Lydia. She was always second to Elena and Jeremy. Always forgotten by her parents, her friends, and the whole of Mystic Falls. Lydia always knew that something about her was different. She could sense it. But no one ever listened to her when she would voice her concerns. Her siblings have done their best to protect their younger sister after they lost their parents and guardians, but their attempts to shelter her from the cruelties of the world have only isolated her from everyone she loved. They worked hard to keep their lives, filled with vampires and witches, away from her. But all of their work will be undone when she meets Kol Mikaelson and every lie that was told to Lydia is soon uncovered. She just never imagined how deep the lies would go, and how far they would push her into a new family, the Mikaelsons. Republished and edited from my former account.

Being twins with Caroline, she'd become thrust into the world of the supernatural, having to learn how to defend her human self while at the same time, not falling for one who's killed so many innocents.

Alexandra Forbes has grown up surrounded by the supernatural chaos of Mystic Falls. With a vampire for a sister and danger lurking in every shadow, she knows that world well-but she's never truly been part of it. She's just the human on the sidelines, trying to hold onto a normal teenage life in a town that never stays normal for long. Still reeling from her breakup with Jeremy Gilbert, Alex starts to change. Heartbreak pushes her toward reckless choices, late nights, and a wilder version of herself she doesn't quite recognize-but can't seem to stop becoming. Then the Mikaelsons arrive. And with them comes Kol. Charming, dangerous, and impossible to ignore, he pulls Alex into a world she was never meant to belong to-and into a love that could either save her... or destroy her completely. _________________________________________ 1 in #carolineforbes 10/6/24 2 in #elijah 10/7/24 1 in #rebekahmikaelson 10/12/24 3 in #kolmikaelson 10/12/24 3 in #the originals 10/14/24 4 in #fanficromance 10/14/24 2 in #elijahmikaelson 10/20/24
