THEY FOUND THEM AGAIN. this time, there were more, they were ruthless. but they didn’t expect the new-found advantage team hope had: a new vampire. and his hunter of the five past definitely gave them an edge. the pair tore through the pack with only one thing on their mind. don’t let them get upstairs. don’t let them get to hope. and rebekah was so completely focused on the baby that she didn’t notice the one that came up behind her. her status as an original kept her immune from normal wooden stakes for the most part.
but he wasn’t.
her ears, tuned in not only to hope, but to every little breath, every little sound he made caught the groan that slipped past her lips. she turns so fast, and seeing him with a wooden stake sticking out of the centre of his chest made everything else going on around them blur and silent. her true face emerged, fangs longer, sharper than those of a normal vampire, veins stretching all the way down her cheeks. one sweep of her arms beheads three of them at once. and she does not stop until they’re nothing then a pile of bodies at her feet.
and then she turns to him, on the floor, and the situation is too familiar.
she falls to her knees, pulling his torso into her lap. ‘ you’re still alive, ’ she says, amazement coating her tone as her brows furrow together. rebekah smooths back his hair with a weak smile. and then, a realization. ‘ you were trying to save me. ’ her heart cries out for him as she feels her eyes wet with tears. ‘ you know this wouldn’t have killed me, right? ’ now, she turns her eyes to the stake that sticks out from his chest, and she notices. it’s off. just slightly, but slightly enough that the wood didn’t puncture his heart.
‘ i can’t pull it out. ’ she’s too scared. if even a sliver of the wood splinters off and pierces his heart… well, she won’t even think about that. she doesn’t want to even imagine a world that jeremy gilbert isn’t a part of. ‘ but, as your body heals, it’ll force it out on its own. ’ it may be safer, it may not. if she pulls it out, if his body pushes it out — they both come with the risks. rebekah steadies her breath, trying to seem confident in her decision. ‘ if you drink my blood you’ll heal faster, ’ she says, offering him her wrist to feed from. and then, shakily she says, ‘ please. ’ tears overspill her eyes. ‘ the faster you heal, the faster we can get out of here. ’

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.
