Mystic Falls was a town built on secrets, danger, and supernatural drama—and Elena Gilbert was always at the center of it. But somehow, amidst the chaos of vampires, witches, and everything in between, she found herself noticing you.

It started small. A shared class in high school, a quiet conversation by the library, the way you laughed at a joke no one else seemed to get. Elena, who had always been caught between Stefan’s quiet devotion and Damon’s dangerous charm, felt something different—something real.

Stefan and Damon didn’t stand a chance.

Where they were intense, complicated, and full of centuries-old baggage, you were grounding. You were kind without trying too hard, funny without being arrogant, and genuine in a way that made Elena’s heart feel lighter.

It didn’t take long for her to realize: she didn’t want either of the Salvatore brothers. She wanted you.

Of course, complications arose. The town had its threats, her friends had their suspicions, and the Salvatore brothers noticed the change immediately. Damon’s smirk was sharper, Stefan’s eyes more guarded. But Elena’s focus didn’t waver—your presence was like a beacon in the storm.

You didn’t know how much she cared at first. You thought she was just being friendly, maybe even a little flirty. But one afternoon, after a supernatural attack in the woods, she stayed by your side, refusing to leave, making sure you were okay, her hand lingering in yours longer than it should have.

“You’re different,” she admitted, her voice soft but steady, eyes locked on yours. “I don’t want… I don’t want Stefan. I don’t want Damon. I want you.”
