The Vampire Diaries/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for The Vampire Diaries Fan Fics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in The Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

1shot at FF.net
 * Recommended by AnonymousApathy
 * All 3 (so far) of 1shot's Vampire Diaries works - Big Top, The Stars Get Red and Oh The Night, and Life in Plastic - are beautifully written, often bittersweet, and unfailingly profound introspective pieces and character studies which focus on the main cast's relationships (platonic or otherwise) with each other, the world, and the craziness that is their lives.

General Fics
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

An Unexpected Return by Spikey44
 * Recommended by AnonymousApathy
 * Synopsis: Inside the shell of every vampire lurks the ghost of who they used to be. Damon thought his ghost long gone. He was wrong. Now he's not the only one who has to face the consequences. A story of delirium, acceptance, and chasing ghosts. - FF.net summary
 * Pairings: While this is a very plot-heavy ensemble piece, it has some some serious Damon/Elena leanings in the last few chapters.
 * Tags: Original Flavor, heavy violence and gore (but not much moreso than the show itself), zombies.

Shipping Fics
