@tetheredtoelena vengeance knows no mercyHe had burned their home to the ground and left her. She had forgiven him for everything but it didn’t matter. She didn’t matter. Jeremy Gilbert was who he was. He returned to New Orleans and Klaus Mikaelson. And Madeline returned to Hawaii. It was always a naive thought to think that would be the end of her ties to him. That one day everything he had ever done wouldn’t come back to haunt him. Actions had consequences. Sometimes they just took longer to catch up with you then others might.
Hawaii had been peaceful. There she felt like maybe she could start a new life. She could never walk the beaches without thinking of him, of the day he proposed, and passing by the spot where they got married but they were some of the happiest memories of her life. And whatever pain she felt she could handle as long as she remembered those. It took some talking with her Mom and a little convincing but Madeline finally decided to make the permanent move to Hawaii. She just needed to go back to Mystic Falls first and grab what little things she had that weren’t burnt down in the house fire and say her goodbyes.
She died within three days of being home. They came for her just as she was leaving the Grille after catching up with a couple of friends. And she didn’t have to ask herself why. The answer was all too obvious. Death was supposed to be peaceful. And for a few moments she supposed it was. She got to see her parents and everyone else she had every lost. They were finally together again. Until she was being pulled away and she couldn’t reach them and everything became black. When she woke again it was Mary’s face above her and she was… alive? It was slightly disorienting for a day or two and she argued with her mother but finally Madeline pulled herself together. She knew what she had to do.
The vampire was on the next flight that day to New Orleans and didn’t find it as hard as she expected to find Jeremy. When she laid her eyes on him he was already covered in blood, a scared looking vampire in front of him who looked like he might just die from fear alone. Clearly news traveled fast. Walking up behind the vampire, whose height hid her from Jeremy’s view, she was quick to snap his neck and watch as he dropped to the ground before her gaze returned to the man in front of her. “Hey babe. You miss me?”
He had been christened in their blood, arising anew from the ashes of his crumbled life. Madeline was dead, and there wasn’t a place in hell that could keep a vampire safe from him. Just the right combination of reckless and calculated, Jeremy had made his way through the red stained streets of New Orleans, leaving no room for mercy– no survivors to crawl back to their boss. Klaus would know, of course he would. And while his instincts screamed that there was something terribly wrong about causing all this carnage without seeing retribution, blind vengeance drove him forward, hunting down every last one of his former fellow soldiers.
This one, this one was a nobody– a fresh recruit who had barely cut his canines on an enemy yet. No discrimination. They’d all fall. And he’d toyed with this one, having already ripped out his vocal cords a couple blocks back to, well, send a message. But before he could finish, Jeremy watched as the young half-throated vampire’s head snapped all the way around until the undead being was no longer facing him. He fell in an unceremonious heap, as the youngest Gilbert allowed himself a moment of shock.
The surprise quickly changed into fear, followed by grief-fueled rage. That voice was too convincing– her face, almost unrecognizable. A snarl of denial curled his lips as empty hands furled into fists, robbed of their kill. “So rather than face me and end this, this is what our immortal hybrid king does?” His eyes flicked over the shadows surrounding them, voice raised, looking for the perpetrator. This one he’d enjoy killing second only to the man who gave the order. “Sends a witch to disturb the dead?”
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.
