Mystic Falls crackles with supernatural unrest. you, a vampire by reluctant circumstance, moves through the turmoil of the Salvatore feud with wary steps. Then the Originals arrive, and the very air changes. Elijah Mikaelson, the honorable second-born, steps forward, his centuries of disciplined restraint dissolving into open, unguarded adoration as his eyes find you. While you maintains a careful front of polite unawareness to sidestep the peril and scandal of his lineage, Elijah watches with tender amusement, utterly enthralled by the angelic being who thinks manners can be a shield.
