Love this! What a great way to start my morning. My favorite part was the way old and new traditions weaved through this section. The ending kind of made me dread reading more -- you just know this happy period isn't going to last, if only because the Mystic Falls gang will probably show up at some point. The naked!Klaus part surprised me, but in a good way. It felt like just enough build up. Other good moments: Caroline not knowing how to react to the wine glasses of blood (because really, who would?) and all Klaus' friends. They're a nice touch and realistic. I like the thought that he hasn't always been evil--just as, say, Stefan hasn't always been crazy, lol. It makes sense considering his long history. The glimpses into Klaus' human history are great too. They make him seem more human and approachable. Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much! And sorry that this reply is so late. My life has been insane of late.

This chapter was all about Caroline coming to terms with who and what she is, so I wanted some reflection about what her life used to be and what it is now, and how both have their positives and negatives. And no worries -- I have no intention for any of the gang to show up any time soon.

Yeah, well, honesty when you're naked! And water is rejuvenating! Glad the cliches in that chapter weren't so awful.
