This was, to put it lightly, terrifying. Stefan is so eerily dark and unrecognizable. Though I did see a hint of emotion at the end there, poor Bonnie is in for a tough ride with him. I am intrigued to see who this new lady is and what's been done to Katherine. Update soon!

You are very right; Bonnie will have a hard time breaking through to him, if she even does at all ;) Dark Stefan is kind of liberating to write, really-- he does what he wants and has no boundaries to tread.

Thanks for commenting!!

Absolutely fantastic. I love how your are not forcing your characters to be OOC in the fic. I mean, there are lots of writers that just don't have the guts to put their characters through the wringer. BravO!

[rebeldesigns]

Thank you so much! I do try to keep them as in character as I can in this AU-verse. I'm glad you find them to be true to themselves :)

I'm a Bamon fan and I love Stefonnie but I don't ship them romantically though I think the would be smokin hot as a pairing. But this story is very enjoyable. Stefan is very chilling in this. So though a Bamon fan, enjoying this very much. Bonnie is my fave character on the show period and Stefan is my fave male. Damon has more work to do.*wink

Thank you for giving this a shot! I'm a fellow Bamon shipper but Stefonnie has always held a special place in my heart. Hopefully I will be able to do both pairings justice in this fic.

I absolutely love LOVE how you write Stefan. Like, he's effing scary in this. I love it! This chapter was amaaaazing & I loved how you included Katherine into the mix. :) So glad I decided to check your journal tonight. You wouldn't believe how happy I was when I saw that you updated! :D

Can't wait for chapter 5! x

Thank you! Stefan is so lovely and dark in the show; but it was clear that he was still "Stefan" and not in full-on ripper!Stefan mode. I just sort of went ahead and removed those barriers so that he's full-tilt crazy, haha. But his road to redemption is going to be fun to write.

And thanks for stopping by and reading!

This was intense!!! But the kind of intense that makes you aching for more. Stefan is so very dark but still...I haven't given up on him. You've done a very good job of walking that line - he's evil but not in a way that makes me loathe to read about him. As well, kudos to you for making this entire story complex and realistic. Bonnie's struggles in this chapter seemed very in character. Too many stories would have had Bonnie being able to overpower him - the realism in this story makes it much more realistic. I can't wait to see what happens next. Thank you for sharing your tale!

[rebeldesigns]

You've got it exactly right-- I tried to strike a balance between Stefan's dark side and his possible redemptive qualities. I'm glad you approve! :) I wrote the interaction between Bonnie and Stefan in this chapter with trepidation; it was just as much an exercise for myself to see if I could stand writing the main character getting manhandled in such a way. But I'm glad it proved realistic, that was what I was going for!

Thank you for reading and reviewing!
