She thinks she loves most those lazy days of summer when her skin is warm and she can pretend she’s growing older as the scorching dates melt into each other on her calendar. Just a little bit, just eighteen, because it’s such an important age. She wants to be eighteen.
Tyler laughs at her for being very seventeen in wanting to grow up, because that’s what seventeen-year-olds do, and she throws things at him and Stefan looks at them from the couch he’s sitting on and makes his older brother face and going back to his book. But then she’ll slip an ice-cube down the back of his shirt and run before he can catch her. He always catches her in the end because she always lets him, and her skin is warm and his lips are warm, the summer sun heating up her dead blood, and she loves those long days of summer.
Tuesdays, Stefan wears his ‘hey it’s Tuesday’ look and Tyler loves her even though she is a mess till the afternoon because she pretends she can paint in the mornings and splashes more color on herself than the canvas. They don’t laugh at

And they fight some mornings, and Stefan leaves and Tyler takes the most dangerous route to the nearest liquor store. She wears her shortest red dress and goes out and gets drunk and allows the first boy she sees to grope her, because sometimes she is still that girl, and sometimes she still wants to be that girl. They always end back together though, always end up at the same place and stare out at the water. They don’t talk because they always talk too much, and sometimes they just don’t.
If you ask her, she’ll mostly remember those months, when each day is a Sunday and they don’t get out of bed. When every touch is slow, languid, building, till she’s incoherent with need and arousal and want, and they look at her with dark eyes, each word a sin, each gesture grace. She loves those days the best.
Or maybe she loves those days the best when she compels her way into the classes of the local college. When she meticulously turns to page forty-five and wears reading glasses and thinks of project titles and lives the life that could be.

Oh, God. This just isn't fair. I mean, I want to cry, okay.
Because my baby Caroline is perfect and so are her boys and she wants so much more sometimes and sometimes she is just fine with what she has and adsfsdkjgsldk I can't.
hates it when they laugh and make her miss a dialogue and loves it when they laugh and make her miss a dialogue.
CREYING, WHY ARE THEY SO PERFECT. This has given me so many feels for these three.
Re: and the bible didn't mention us | stefan/caroline/tyler | 2/2youcallitwinterJune 15 2012, 21:18:17 UTC
Look, I even have an icon for them :D
LOL, I'd never even thought of this ship till crickets left a prompt over at the comment ficathon (because she's a gross enabler like that) and I tried my hand at it. They're kind of addicting, these three. I don't know why, but I can see them really working together and being completely at ease, for some reason!
and she wants so much more sometimes and sometimes she is just fine with what she has and adsfsdkjgsldk I can't.
THAT IS THE FIC IN A LINE AND THE BEST DESCRIPTION EVER. <3
Re: and the bible didn't mention us | stefan/caroline/tyler | 2/2pariswindspeedJune 16 2012, 18:50:16 UTC
You have an icon for them and I am insanely jealous. (:
I've always been very invested in Caroline/Stefan, but then Tyler showed up and I was all THIS IS BEAUTIFUL YOU THREE ARE PERFECT. Thus began my eternal shipping of these three. (Which, I must say, came from reading your other S/C/T fic. So, I was inadvertedly influenced by your influence. WHOA.)
If I ever tried to write fic for them, it would be a mess. I'll just stick to writing D/C because they are my guilty pleasure. I'll just simply sit here and encourage you to continue writing Caroline flawlessly with Stefan and Tyler! :D
Re: and the bible didn't mention us | stefan/caroline/tyler | 2/2cricketsJune 14 2012, 02:46:38 UTC
How are you real? Just tell me. I need to know.
This is bloody perfection. I loved every second of it but I don't even really know how to respond to it. Instead I'm going to quote my favorite parts and say "GUH" afterwards?
Sound good?
Tyler calms him down,and somewhere along the way, Tyler was the one who became that guy. He’s Stefan when Stefan is not Stefan...
GUH x infinity.
Stefan writes in his journal every night, and Tyler sits and draws them both in different lights while she watches the television and hates it when they laugh and make her miss a dialogue and loves it when they laugh and make her miss a dialogue.
What is it about that last turn of phrase that just makes my heart do backflips? I don't know but it's awesome!
Stefan mentions the word 'love' then, and tries to catch her gaze, but she always looks away because she can read him now and if he's lying, she does not want to know. Not just now. Someday she will look back. Just not today.BROKEN HEART. I have it

OH this is too much gorgeous for me in one take, and I do not even like Tyler that much, expect of course here, because everything here was perfect.
Five days a month she thinks of writing a book, about the beautiful girls with the same face and the lost boy with the brilliant blue eyes at the other end of the world because that’s poetry. Or maybe three days a month, she thinks of a book which isn’t poetry about that blonde girl with the boys who love her when it’s cold outside and sometimes don’t play monopoly when she wants to, but other times let her be the banker, even though she cheats each time and wins each time. She thinks love a lot more than she will admit to. Even though she is older and should know better.
Re: and the bible didn't mention us | stefan/caroline/tyler | 2/2youcallitwinterJune 15 2012, 21:20:49 UTC
I love Tyler, but he's barely gotten any screen-time for me to be truly ~invested. BUT STEFAN/CAROLINE IS SO MUCH MY 'GUH' SHIP. I can really see these three being awkward and dysfunctional and yet insanely comfortable for some reason!
Re: and the bible didn't mention us | stefan/caroline/tyler | 1/2vergoldungJune 22 2012, 22:49:30 UTC
Oh God this fic is so beautiful. The prose just stuns me. I am stunned.
But I'm also crying in a corner because Caroline must have wanted kids since she owned her first doll and now she never will *UGLY SOBBING* I had never even thought about that before. But now you have put this in my head and I am fucking destroyed. Tyler never tells her he loves her, but he stays with her when she looks at children in the park in the summertime and there is this ache that never gets filled, and he holds her hand just when she wants it held, and that is its own brand of love. Arghh so, so painful.
I wish I wasn't such a tired mess right now, because I really want to worship every single line of this. But I'm too braindead to give appropriate (and articulate!) feedback, so just know that this is GORGEOUS. And that I loved it. Even if you broke my heart at some points. It was mended a lot of times too :)
(And who even cares about pain when the prose is that pretty?)
