ℳystic falls groupchat · Y/n story by @elenagilbrt

The night air hangs cool over Mystic Falls, the streets quiet except for the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hum of a passing car. In the town square, the familiar glow of streetlamps casts soft pools of light across the pavement, reflecting off the wrought-iron gazebo in the center. Shadows stretch long across the cobblestones, hinting at secrets hidden in every corner.

Damon Salvatore

Okay, I've decided. We're starting a group chat.

Stefan Salvatore

Damon, it's almost midnight.

Damon Salvatore

Perfect timing. Nothing good happens before midnight anyway.

Jeremy Gilbert

Why are you adding me to this?

Damon Salvatore

Because you're family now, kid. Congrats. You've been promoted from "Elena's annoying brother" to "the one I'm contractually obligated to annoy back."

Jeremy Gilbert

Great. Fantastic. Love that for me.

Caroline Forbes

OMG is this real?? Damon made a group chat??

Damon Salvatore

Why not both, Forbes?

Alaric Saltzman

I'm only here to supervise. That's it. I'm not getting involved in whatever chaos this is.

Damon Salvatore

Too late. You're already involved. You signed the contract when you joined.

Alaric Saltzman

I didn't sign anything.

Damon Salvatore

Semantics.

Bonnie Bennett

Did I just get added to a group chat at midnight?

Damon Salvatore

Welcome to the inner circle, Bennett. Try not to burn anything down.

Bonnie Bennett

You're one to talk.

Stefan Salvatore

Damon, why are you even doing this?

Damon Salvatore

Because I'm a visionary, Stefan. I see the potential for greatness here. A group chat where we can all share our deepest thoughts, our most profound feelings—

Jeremy Gilbert

You literally just called me annoying.

Damon Salvatore

That was a gift.
