A/N: A huge thanks goes to my new beta Eileen. She's stepped in like a true champ while my regular beta has been temporarily unavailable. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through.


( You spend too much time with strangers )

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through. One is desiccated.


( Oh I'd rather walk a winding road... )

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, some of them just pass through. Some of them aren't even conscious. The bump in rating is due to a death that, though in keeping with canon levels of violence, it's different when you read about it.


( I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean )

Though I list a lot of characters, and some of them actually do get dialog, this is all primarily from Caroline's POV, with heavy interaction with Sheila. Hope you enjoy!

A/N: A huge thanks, as always, goes to my wonderful beta velvetwhip. This time more so than others, since she's being forced to read fanfic for a show she has no interest in watching. Though I list Caroline, Emily, and Sheila, this is a heavily Bonnie-centric chapter, and the other three make only brief appearances.
