A Handful of Dust ~ TVD ~ {Stefan x OC x Damon}

In the small town of Mystic Falls, witty loner Emery Gilbert has modest plans: mend her family's sanity post-parental tragedy, survive high school, and then escape this so-called "charming" abyss.

Unfortunately, life has other plans. Thanks to her twin sister, Emery is dragged into a world of dangerous secrets and supernatural chaos she never signed up for. Her stubborn loyalty has her determined to protect the people she loves at any cost, but between her snarky mouth, impulse control issues, and knack for making things worse, she might just be in over her head.

And now that overly complicated, dangerously charming vampires have taken an interest in her? Well... avoiding trouble was never really Emery's strong suit.

Or maybe-just maybe-this world was always bound to catch up to her.

A/N: This fanfic explores the life of an original character in The Vampire Diaries universe. Official pairing is still up in the air (your input can sway me, though!), but it will likely be a slow burn so I'll see where Emery takes it.
