Closed Starter : Stefan & Caroline ( @drvcxrys )

"Caroline?!" Stefan called out, spotting the back of the blonde's head. He was very confused. He had woken up here and thought maybe he was on the Other Side but knew that's not how it worked. He moved forward to her, slower than he was used to and stopped in front of her, "What's happening? You're not... Is this the Other Side?" he asked, looking around.

"I'm not sure why you're looking at me like something's wrong. . . Nothing's wrong," Stefan said stiffly, knowing he wasn't being convincing. "Look, I don't know what you heard from Elena, but I'm-- I'm completely fine. Sure, finding out the truth about Damon being my vampire ancestor instead of my big brother threw me for a loop, but I'm fine. I'm coping. I'm not gonna run off and start using drugs. . .again." Stefan ran his fingers through the hair at the back of his head (the only part that wasn't carefully styled) and grimaced at Caroline. "I'm not doing a very good job." It wasn't a question, because he already knew the answer.

"it can't be that bad.. right?" a shudder, then a wrinkle of her nose, as she looks down at the vile looking 'hang over cure' that had been placed in front of her, courtesy of the other.

There was something so deliciously intoxicating about a vampire on the hunt, even more so for the ripper. Flipping the switch isn't something he'd ever personally done, more like a creeping loss of humanity as the centuries rolled on and life tore chunks out of him like his real father's pack had ripped it from Henrik. Bloodied wounds that would never heal, passed on to all those around him. Usually he didn't approve either, considered it an easy way out. But he rather like @ripper-royalty like this, had an inkling that this was the vampire at his peak.

❛ That's it, ❜ Klaus murmured, breath tickling Stefan's ear as he bent closer to where his friend was hunched over the neck of the pretty woman he'd chosen for the night. She'd gotten very dressed up for last night in the land of the living. His hand was clasped on Stefan's shoulder, tilted towards his collarbone; with a twitch of finger, he could feel the bob of the vampire's throat as he drowned himself in the woman's veins. Klaus' own hunger had spiked so slightly, coaxing him to take some for himself, but he was more content to watch the feast. The heat was stronger in his lower region than his throat. ❛ Drink her all up, Stefan, let her fill you until your hunger is satisfied, until there's there's not a drop to be spared. You deserve it all. ❜ His voice had dropped to a whisper as his lips found themselves on the curve of his ear.

@salvatoraes ♡’d for a starter (still accepting) !

her arms were aching with the weight of the bags that she'd dragged with her for what felt like miles (the reality was that it wasn't anywhere near that far), huffing slightly to herself as she walked. it was true, the home stretch to your destination was far the most painful part of it all. knocking also wasn't part of mabel's repertoire at the best of times, but right now waiting for a response to a knock was only going to have these bags feeling heavier by the second, and she didn't have time for it. "what?" she asked as she pushed the door right open. "women who knock never make history."

from what davina could recall, it’s been quite a day. her body was exhausted and all she wanted to do was sleep. that is until she heard the doorbell ring around the small home. with a small wince as she sat up, she made her way towards the front door and opened it up. revealing the male that was once behind it. “oh, hey.” she greeted with a slight surprise tone to her voice. “what are you doing here?” // @salvatoraes​

Closed Starter : Stefan & Enzo ( @wvsteria )

Stefan grimaced when he nearly ran into the vampire. He'd been trying to stay out of his hair, not wanting to cause the other man any unnecessary hastle and himself any further guilt - though he believed he deserved that. He sighed, "Sorry, I'm not trying to cause any trouble."

like this for a starter with my au, human version of Stefan Salvatore (short version: he's a doppelganger of the 1864 Stefan, who did become a vampire, but died years prior to when the show starts)

OPEN STARTER : 1864 - STEFAN SALVATORE.

ragged breathing echoed throughout the old boarding house. heavy footsteps sounded throughout the wooden floorboards as he moved. pearl white canines stained with crimson red, as this one trickled down his chin to stain his ironed, and once pristine, white button-up shirt. stefan's eyes wandered — searching for anything, anyone that moved and dared to cross his murderous path. stefan was no longer the innocent, rejected, abandoned boy they had left behind. no. he was no longer the boy that hid away from giuseppe when this one got one drop too many of his favourite alcoholic beverages. he was no longer the boy that cried himself to sleep wondering why his mother had left him with two careless, cold men with whomst he was to learn to live with. he was no longer the family's good-for-nothing, disgrace of a child.

“ wait, please, no!— ” and then, all that echoed were blood curdling, spine chilling screams. the agony, the horror, the fear were palpable. the terror stefan salvatore spread was unimaginable. how? how could such a sweet boy tear them apart limb for limb? before the loss of control, before the pain, there was sorrow. there was a never-ending 'why me' that never obtained an answer. there was a boy who was wronged, abandoned by those he needed most, abused in all the ways one could be. the young salvatore's emotions ran at the very surface of his being after his transition into a creature of the night — one he had not asked for, but could not complain about given the power it provided him. stefan gained the power to turn his life around, to make a name, a reputation for himself away from the salvatore family name. away from giuseppe, away from damon.

katherine had provided a way out for a boy that had been caged all his life. she unleashed his deepest and darkest thoughts, made them a reality. his reality. the next sound echoing throughout the house is the sound of something heavy dropping to the wooden floorboards. his sleeve drags along his mouth, attempting to wipe away the remnants of his father's blood from his lips. his mind was clear, empty, blank. stefan did not have the capacity to understand what he had done in that moment, nor did he want to. what he knew was that, now, there was a chance for freedom. whatever that word meant.

instead of fleeing the scene, stefan reaches for his wrist and drags him across the floor from the office to the living room, in front of the fireplace. his gaze is fixated on him for a few moments, before he back steps his way to the couch, and sits there. it takes hours for stefan's gaze to return to its beautiful emerald colour, but they never leave giuseppe's deceased figure. their blood still sits on his chin, now dry. that was payback, for all that he had to endure, for the pain of the belt he still felt against his skin, the agony of the daily blame for the loss of lillian, the sleepless nights wondering where he had gone wrong, what he had done wrong. it ended then, or so, stefan thought.

“ stefan? ” the call of his name has his ears twitching, but he does not move to respond to the caller nor their call. if he looks away, will he get up from the ground and charge at him? was he actually gone? stefan did not buy it — how could he when even the end of the bottle, day in day out, did not take him down?

❛ We had good times in the 20s, didn't we, @rippeah ? ❜  The crooked grin widens, blue eyes locked upon the vampire's, eyebrow quirking high, inspiring the memories to mind. ❛ Such were the days when we feasted all night long. Got our pleasure in full. Come now, Stefan, you cannot tell me it didn't ... satisfy you. ❜

[mysticfallsresidents]

STEFAN KNEW COMING BACK TO MYSTIC FALLS WAS A RISKY DECISION BUT IT WAS SOMETHING HE FELT HE NEEDED TO DO. it was scary because of the founding families that seemed to have a sneaking suspicion that vampires resided back in their peaceful, quiet town but stefan was determined to put a stop to that so he could live his life without worry of vampires ( or mainly his big brother ) ruining his one chance to begin anew. he enrolled as a student at the local college and mainly only did it to blend into society. mostly, he wanted a way in to sniff out any vampires he's never seen or met before. to his surprise, and a pleasant one at that, he did run into one he had previously known and luckily she was a good friend of his he hasn't seen in years, @preppyvcmp. a grin stretched on the vampire's face from eat to ear as he wrapped his arms around the petite woman. “ greta, i can't believe you're here, it's good to see you. what are you doing here ? last i heard you were traveling europe ” he pointed out, looking down at her with bright eyes, happy to see an old friend in such a bleak town.

“Excuse me, I think you dropped this.” Stefan said, picking up her journal.
