He wished he could say something to him. Something that was light hearted or funny to make the growing tension lessen. But Asher didn’t have anything and it was getting harder for him to try. He didn’t know what to do at this rate. It was getting harder for him and he knew it. Ever since that first talk of honesty he didn’t know what else to say. He felt like things were easier when they could ignore what he was, before Joshua saw just how frightening he could be. And with the new Fireflies leaders breathing down his neck, pressuring him, he was having a harder time now saying things he should.
He looked up finally, meeting the other’s eyes. “I never mind when it comes to you.” He goes back to cleaning the gun, feeling frustrated with the dirty cloth. Setting it down he snapped his fingers and a new clean cloth appeared in his hand. Lately he had been practicing magic, having lost touch with it before the end of the world. He chuckled just a bit at his comment. “It helps me concentrate sometimes. With the new Fireflies leaders constantly down my back right now and now some outside people… Helps just a bit to try and sort thoughts. Pretty sure I’ve cleaned the same guns many times.” Reassembling the gun he moved over next to him he set the handgun on the rack. “That and it lets me sort out my thoughts to drive me mad later.”
Tension seized his shoulders at the mention of the Fireflies. The organization he once believed in more than anything had turned its back on him– at least as far as Joshua was concerned, anyways, they had. He’d barely survived making it back from that mission; if it hadn’t been for Allie, cutting half his arm off wouldn’t have mattered. To return home only to have your leaders seize him and lock him up like some lab rat, poking and prodding with needles- all but dissecting him- it did not do a whole lot to inspire confidence. Joshua hadn’t returned to their employment since, citing it as needing time to recover properly (all the while continuing his secret project through those he trusted). He was not naive enough to think that Asher wasn’t intervening on his behalf, but to hear just how insistent they’re being…. well, it was cause for concern.
“I didn’t realize the Fireflies were giving you a hard time…” he uttered cautiously, trying to control the damned beat of his heart, well aware of it betraying his anxiety to the vampire. He didn’t use to be like this, but now he was having a hard time catching his breath. “I thought your new handler and I had come to an understanding about how you operate.” He tilted his head to the side, trying to play it casual as he cracked the vertebra in his neck absently. “I can reach out to him…… pull some strings….” A shallow breath, which he tried to minimize as much as possible. “There’s not reason things should change just because I’m not their liaison anymore.”
two important plot items: i will never write the infidelity stuff of s3. and i won't write jeremy killing kol. these are personal choices.

due to the nature of jeremy's story, you may find triggering themes featured here, including self-harm, mental health issues, drugs, alcohol, addiction, violence, abuse, murder, suicide, and death. this blog will NOT write ANYTHING related to rape/sexual assault. please tag your nsfw so tumblr savior can do it's job!
on the subject of tagging, please tag anything related to jeremy's death in 4x14 as stacey don't look. Same goes for audio posts of 'Come Home' by OneRepublic aka the soundtrack to Jeremy's first death. Thanks!
SHIPPING: i am equal-opportunity as far as shipping goes, but roleplay is about so much more than romance and smut. i am an absolute sucker for a good, honest, platonic friendship. relationships are all fine and good, but it's the friendships that weave in and out that make them really special. i will never force a ship on you, and i ask that you return the same courtesy. the only ship i will flat out refuse is romantic damon x jeremy.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: are my lifeblood. please have a simple bio accessible on your blog for me to read!
PSA: IF I CAN'T READ YOUR BLOG, I WON'T FOLLOW YOU. it is not my job to make YOUR blog legible.
STARTERS: if you want to tag me in a random starter, go ahead! just remember that don't know the plots of seasons 6-8!
MEMES: send 'em. i don't care if we're mutuals or not. i do not believe in reblog karma and honestly don't care if you 'use' me as a 'meme resource.'
CONTACT ME: i will always reply to anything in my tag- as opposed to my inbox. i'm not the best at replying to messages or meme requests for that matter. i don't have a discord or skype and don't really plan on getting either.
WARNING: my muse is fickle, and i won't always reply to things in the order i receive them. i will not put up with being guiltripped to roleplay- whether it's passive aggressive posts or sending 'poke' messages to remind me to reply. i will literally just unfollow you and be done with it. i created jeremy to be my safe space away from a toxic rp environment, and i won't allow anyone to compromise that.
while this is a JEREMY GILBERT blog, there are three versions of him you may find on here, depending on the universe you interact with him. see the FCs here.

Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident. His sister, Elena, was also in the car that night, but managed to survive thanks to Stefan Salvatore, who rescued her before she could drown. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs, but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend, Vicki Donovan, who had supposedly died of an overdose. Following the murder of his second girlfriend Anna, Jeremy purposely overdosed on pills after drinking vampire blood in the hope of becoming a vampire so he could turn off his humanity. However, his attempt to become a vampire failed, and the blood healed the damage the pills caused to his system.
Jeremy was shot by Sheriff Forbes after Damon dodged the bullet, and was revived by Bonnie, who at the time was channeling the power of over a hundred massacred witches at the witch burial ground. However, the spell that caused him to be revived also gave him the power to see ghosts, causing him to be haunted by the ghosts of his dead girlfriends Vicki and Anna.
After experiencing multiple traumatic events as a result of the supernatural drama in his town, including being compelled by Klaus to stand in front of a speeding car, Elena feared for his safety and arranged for Damon to compel him to live with extended family in Denver.
