Summary: Things used to be much simpler before. The good guys were always stalwart and true, the bad guys were easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats (BtVS 2x07, Lie To Me). But now Elena is a vampire, and Bonnie just saved Klaus of all people. There are spells to break and problems to solve, urges to control and decisions to make. But, first of all, there are friendships to fix.
A/N: Written post-3x22, so, obviously, a complete AU right now. Written for

I owe the title to
akzseinga, who gave it to me as a prompt for one of the ficathons. Hey, remember that vamp!Elena story I promised you, like, two years ago? ;)
