Hey, this is two for two days. I've only read a handful of fics in this fandom that I'd pimp out--unlike my experience with Glee, but that's because this show is ACTUALLY GOOD! It's hard to write fic that's better than the show, IMHO.
However, I'm a sucker for Katherine/Damon fics, and this is an origin story that is so brilliantly succinct in 700 words, I wish I had written it.
so darkness i became is from Kat's POV, and it's wonderful.
