Look, she isn't supposed to be the hero of this story. She's supposed to be the supporting player, the one who makes sure no one gets killed while Damon and Elena do the heavy lifting; she isn't supposed to have to face the monster wearing her best friend's face.
Elena doesn't get it; Caroline isn't sure if it's because Damon didn't explain it or didn't explain it right but Elena doesn't understand how not killing people takes actual work. Killing is what's natural; not killing is the unnatural state of being.
Stefan taught her that.
But now she's standing in a darkened hallway with a blood-smeared mouth Stefan standing in front of her, and Caroline knows this is it; either she says something which lets her glimpse the Stefan she loves or she lets him go with the creature who ruins everything.
"No matter how good it feels to give yourself over to it, you fight it," she blurts out, remembering the words he said to her months earlier when her own face was coated with blood, when her world was imploding. Caroline sees the

Haven't seen season 3 yet but have been relatively spoiled. Even if I hadn't this fic is just amazing. My fave line was the one about Stefan saying her name like a prayer and a thousand other things she's too young to understand. PROPS!!

Oooh, harsh, but I loved it. Stefan, Elena, and Damon all sorta hover in a place of willful ignorance. They pretend not to see the parts of each other they don't like. Elena knows there more the Stefan's history, but he and Damon don't tell her and she never does ask. But CAROLINE is a monster too know, so she knows the work. And I loved the 'Stefan taught her that' because girl remembers those lessons well.
and she doesn't care how much human blood Stefan has in him right now; she is more desperate and she'll do whatever it takes to keep him here.
MONSOON ON MY FACE. Oh, babies.
He is her Lexi, and right now he needs Lexi, and Caroline doesn't know how to be Lexi because she's still only seventeen and vampirism didn't give her wisdom; it gave her a gnawing hunger in her gut that

I just want Caroline to acknowledge Stefan is her friends and be part of their retrieval efforts. I know the show is busy alternately torturing her and cockblocking her, but can we please have some continuity? He organized a slumber party after her trauma and she doesn't even look concerned?!

Oh, oh. WAY TO BREAK MY HEART INTO A MILLION PIECES AND SEW IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN ALL AT ONCE. I just don't understand how you do it. That was such a short fic, but there was so much there. Your Caroline and Stefan were perfect, and their interactions just rendered me nearly speechless. ♥
