Since I first discovered Fan Fiction, I have been in search of a worth-while vampire on vampire crossover. Kinky. *smirks* I started out with True Blood/Twilight, and everything that I found was pretty predictable - Sookie was
always paired with Eric. So, I gave up on that avenue and started to search out Vampire Diaries/Twilight fan fics. That's when I found
Twilight of My Redemption.
I need to clarify that when I refer to The Vampire Diaries, I'm talking about the TV series on the CW and not the books. After the success of Twilight, I was expecting several knock-offs. At first glance The Vampire Diaries didn't seem like any more than that. However, being the female that I am, I couldn't help but notice the ever-yummy Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley *fans self* cast as the vampire brothers. I thought to myself, "this is definitely worth watching...for the plot line...yeah...the plot line". I turned out to be pleasantly surprised.
Let me try to sum up The Vampire Diaries as briefly as possible. The Vampire Diaries is set in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Stefan Salvatore is the new kid in school that is drawn to an Elena Gilbert. As it turns out, Elena is a dead-ringer for Stephan's old flame Katherine Pierce. The kicker is that Katherine lived in Mystic Falls in 1864. She was the vampire who changed Stefan and his older brother Damon. Katherine relished the attention she received from the Salvatore brothers. More than that she enjoyed putting them at odds with one another as they fought for her affection. This interesting love triangle is repeated in present-day, but instead with Elena cast as the lead female.
Elena is in love with Stefan but still cares for the ruthless and dangerous Damon. Once Damon realizes that Katherine really is a ruthless bitch, he finds himself also harboring feelings for Elena. Elena seems to see past Damon's hardened exterior to find the good buried deep inside of him. Unfortunately for all the lovebirds, Elena is Katherine's doppelganger. And as everyone knows, in order to kill one, you must kill the other. And lets just say that Katherine isn't very well liked by...well...anyone. Elena has entrusted Elijah, one of the "original" vampires, to protect her friends and family at the expense of her own life. Throw in some werewolves and witches and you have yourself the story line for The Vampire Diaries.
Twilight of My Redemption picks up during
New Moon at Bella's infamous birthday party and quickly jumps to Edward's botched goodbye in the woods. As Bella lays broken on the forest floor, a pair of immortal eyes look on. A plan is hatched in her devilish mind.
