Vampire Diaries Fanfiction
The CW's Mystic Falls saga of the Salvatore brothers, Elena Gilbert, and the Original vampire family that spun off into its own empire. Fanfic here is a shipping battleground with a long memory: Damon/Elena and Stefan/Elena partisans, the enormous Klaus/Caroline contingent writing the redemption romance canon teased, and Bonnie Bennett fic that gives the franchise's most mistreated witch the centrality she deserved. Human AUs, doppelganger lore rewrites, and Originals-era family drama keep the archive churning.
