Human AU - A reckless moment of passion seven years ago with Damon Salvatore left Elena with a broken heart. Now he's back in town, opening his own tattoo shop uncomfortably close to her lingerie store. Will Damon be able to convince her that he's changed and worth taking another chance on, or do some scars simply run too deep? DELENA, much sexiness and profanity. :)

My own version of what happened after the season 2 finale. Damon and Elena grow closer as they struggle to rescue Stefan from Klaus as well as unravel why freak accidents keep endangering Elena. Will Elena find the courage to follow her heart, or will she be too afraid to risk everything for a once in a lifetime love? As always, much sexiness and profanity. Delena
