fic: if these wings could fly

title: if these wings could fly
fandom: the vampire diaries
characters: caroline-centric, but really caroline/stefan at the same time. (also mentions of caroline/tyler, caroline/klaus, and very canon caroline/damon if that makes sense. pretty much everyone is in here at some point.)
rating: pg-13 (talk of canonical violence, past abuse and torture, some of it relived. also canon death and lots of angst. because when don't I write angst?)
disclaimer: I own nothing. Seriously it’s kind of sad.
word count: 4492
summary: The hallucinations start early. They always do. (She’s been here before, remember?) She sees them in the corners of the room; her father, mother, Tyler, Alaric, Klaus…Caroline searches out for Stefan, but she doesn’t see him. It doesn’t seem fair. (AU after 5x21, but still with the possibility of the same ending as the finale. They’d just get their differently.)
a/n: Written for the prompt he was pointing at the moon but I was looking at his hand. He was dead anyway, a ghost. I’m surprised I saw his hand at all. but fluffyfrolicker at ishi-chan’s promp-athon. It became a thing. Somehow whenever I write things for her they become things. (Also I'm half awake, so I'll be re-checking possible typos tomorrow.)

( The group plans retribution against the Travelers. The group plans a way to reclaim their home. Caroline nods along. She plans retribution against one Traveler alone. )
