Ophelia ( @traumapyre ) ▌ sent 🎁 for a starter.
Sitting beside Ophelia on the couch in the living room of the boarding house, Stefan offers her one of the dampened cloths he's retrieved from the kitchen to clean the stains of crimson from her skin. "I understand how it feels, the way the bloodlust pulls you under until, in that moment, there's nothing else left of you." Never before has he known anyone else to experience it as intensely as he does; perhaps it's the part of him that felt his own desires so profoundly as a human amplified as a vampire until it leads to his own ruination. "The mountain of things I still regret is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget."
