Asher doesn’t blame Joshua for how he feels. They had become so much more than when they first met. That had been meaningless, was supposed to stay meaningless. But then attachments grew and Asher thought of Joshua as more. He even had promised to come back home to him. But the other left and… And there was something there now. A wall between them that felt impossible to climb. Asher wanted to though, it made things worth it when he saw that small smile. He felt to blame sometimes. That it was somehow his fault with what happened to his lover. He knew that any recoil he had from him for a while was his fault. Joshua was never meant to see him out of control.
“You didn’t have to,” he replied. His hand comes up and cups his face, thumb gently running over the other’s cheek. Asher still felt like he fucked up with the rescue. He should have stayed in control and not killed a ton of people. But he had and Joshua had seen his crimson eyes and look that was different from every vampire around the world. “I know… That’s partically my doing.” He stepped close to the other finally, still scared he would have a lash out. Or worse, Asher would suddenly lose control. He paused at his question, then shook his head. “No. There is no value, aside from their blood supply. But I might be able to swing that in my favor.”
His eyes shut firmly with the gesture, a bit more obvious than he’d like it to be. He knows the guilt Asher carries for it all, and yet he cannot find it in himself to ease that burden. At the very least, though, he refuses to add to it. He’s convinced that his silence saves the vampire. “A reaction was drawn out of you– you can hardly be blamed for reacting the way they had to have known you would.”
The physical distance cut between them, Joshua reaches up a hand to wrap his fingers around his lover’s touch. He doesn’t pull the male’s hand away, per se, but the weight of his own grip unconsciously creates a slight separation between their flesh. “It’s not safe anymore,” his gaze finally returns to the other’s face. “You know that, I know. – I think you need to get out, Ash. You and Julia…” A lump forms in his throat as he forces out her name. Above anything, he regrets that any of this torturous life has marred her innocence. “They will retaliate– maybe not today; maybe not for weeks. But they won’t let that loss of life go unanswered. And if she ends up in the crossfire–?”
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.
this blog has existed on tumblr since early 2011, with the original url being gilbert-jeremy. i've also used the urls jeremysgone (post-4x14), jeremysback (post-4x23), and dontyouxdare (post s5 finale).
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.
