Hayley has never really known what it’s like to have a family. She was kicked out of her adopted family’s home when she was thirteen when she discovered what she was. After that bounced around from place to place never really knowing what she was or where she belonged. Meeting Tyler was the first time she had a real friend, and a group that she could call a pack. And she had destroyed all of that in order to gain answers about her family.
That had been months ago, now here she was pregnant with the child of an Original. A fact that shouldn’t be possible. Yet here she was. In the home and safety of the Mikaelson home and under somebody’s protective watch at all times. Jeremy seemed to be the newest one tasked with her protection when Elijah, Rebekah, or Klaus wasn’t around to do so. An interesting choice but she wasn’t going to argue with her newfound family.
“You know you don’t have to watch over me. I won’t tell if you want to go off and do something else.” It would give Hayley some of her own freedom to do what she wanted without somebody breathing down her neck. Picking up an apple she sits down on the couch and takes a bite out of it as she kicks up her feet. “Could you turn on the fan? It’s a little hot in here.”
It didn’t exactly surprise him that Hayley would try to persuade him away from his post. If Jeremy were in her shoes, he’d have at least a half dozen escape attempts under his belt. Truthfully, she was being rather polite about the whole thing, given everything that had happened. From where he stood, it was impossible to tell if the Mikaelsons’ concern was actually for the she-wolf– or just for the being she carried inside her.
He watches her settle down on the couch, and muses to himself whether this will be as boring as the kind of desk job his dad had wanted for him– or if she’s about to make it interesting. With a sigh, he uncrosses his arms and steps away from the door frame he’d been lounging in. A single finger flicks the ceiling fan to life.
“I’d say I’m sticking around because I don’t want Klaus to rip my heart out, but these days I hear Elijah would probably beat him to the punch.” There’s a sputter of a scoff as he rounds the room, eyes looking over each window before he finally perches himself on the arm of a nearby armchair. “Listen, I’m not here to micromanage you; we’re on the same team. I’m just–…” Jeremy pauses, his lips twisting as he looks for the right words. “–making sure you’re both okay. There’s plenty of people in this city who would be happy to see something happen to that baby.”
this is an independent tvd roleplay account, with verses to accommodate both the book and the tv show series. my jeremy is canon divergent after season 2. in general, most of my verses are set specifically after 3x11 when jeremy is compelled by damon to leave mystic falls. this is the easiest place for crossovers to occur as well. i have seen through season five, but don't expect to see a lot of s4-8 on this blog. if you do, guaranteed it's not canon compliant.
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.
MUN: hi! my name is stacey (she/her). i'm 26 years old, and my otp is jeremy x allison argent (teen wolf). you can catch me at my personal blog here or my personal twitter here!
ICONS: starting of march 2019, any srm icons i will be using for replies have been made by my roleplay mum rachie. all mooney icons are made by the lovely evie. don't steal 'em!
biography
Jeremy is the adoptive brother and biological cousin of Elena Gilbert. Depending on his timeline, Jeremy is either a medium (prior to the collapse of the Other Side) or a member of the Brotherhood of the Five (a hunter). His best friends are Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and Bonnie Bennett.
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.
