Fic: Dead Man's Bells (Stefan, Klaus; for TVD_holidays)

This fic is also available on AO3: Dead Man's Bells

Title: Dead Man’s Bells
Recipient: ombriawinter
Rating:PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Stefan, Klaus
Warnings: Some description of violence/gore.
Summary: Stefan doesn’t like the way that Klaus acts as though they’re friends.
Author's Notes: Set during “The Birthday” (3.01) but implying spoilers learned from “The End of the Affair” (3.03). “Dead Man’s Bells” is another name for Digitalis purpurea, a plant that is toxic from root to petal and that was used to make digitalis (a medicine used to regulate the pulse before safer methods were found, as the difference between the amount that helps and the amount that is toxic is very narrow). Depending on the heart in question and how large a dose is given, digitalis can either slow the heartbeat or it can speed it.

( Stefan hates the way that Klaus smiles sometimes. )

Fic: Teenage Dreams (Matt/Elena; for tvd_holidays)

Something that was really fun about doing tvd_holidays is that I got to write two such completely different stories - a pre-series fluff piece about Elena & her friends and also a blood-soaked bit of horror/character piece for Stefan and Klaus. Variety is awesome.

( Matt's truck would be up at the corner, far enough away that her parents wouldn't hear the engine. )
