fic: take another breath
Oct. 9th, 2014 05:58 pmtitle: take another breath
fandom: the vampire diaries
characters: Caroline (probably turned out more Caroline centric than intended), Alaric, some Elena and some Caroline/Stefan that can be seen as friendship or more, read as you like.
rating/warnings: PG-13 (For talk of subject matter but nothing you would hear on the show, also warnings for talk of torture/light torture and a slightly darker Caroline as she deals with Ric.)
word count: 2706
summary: Alaric smells like vervain when she’s too close to him. She keeps her distance, stands across the room in his apartment, across from him in the woods as she tries to teach him how to hunt she steps away when he gets too close. Caroline thinks he might notice sometimes, he gets a look in his eyes that seems almost like an apology, but he never says anything out loud. (Post S5, hints of spoilers from S6 and definite spoilers from S3. This is Caroline and Alaric gaining their footing on how to act around each other, trying to get over the last time she saw him alive, and the torture he put her through. Basically the summer they’ll never give us/the Caroline-Alaric screwed up dynamics they’ll never give us either.)
A/N: this is a very different thing than it started out as, but I like it anyways. TVD never gives me Caroline’s trauma shown/dealt with, so I wrote it myself.
