Damon and Elena's reunion is spoiled by Caroline and Stefan's realisation that the cure they all hunted for is now in their lap. All they have to do is cross the border and then be saved. Will Elena want to be human again? Written post season 6 episode 6.

It's been over four years since Michael's death and Lincoln and Sarah are still struggling to leave the past behind them. An old face returns with some devastating news, and they find themselves drawn into the web of the Company once more.

Damon has fought long and hard to make his way back home to the girl he loves. But now that he's made it, it may not be the romantic reunion he had in mind. His girlfriend has forgotten she loved him, his brother and his friends are at war with each other, and he has to deal with the guilt of having left Bonnie behind. Will he find a way to make everything right?

This is how I pictured the series going after the Series 5 mid season break. It was written for my daughter who couldn't wait for it to return! First public attempt at fan fic, feedback greatly appreciated.
