AU, plotty ensemble fic with slow burn Damon/Elena. On the night that Elena meets Damon, her cell phone dies before she can call home for a ride. Their conversation is never interrupted by her parents' arrival, Elena and her parents are never in a car that goes off Wickery Bridge, and Stefan never has to save Elena from drowning. Enjoy and review! (And then go read Part II.)

It started at the frat party, Damon taught her how to revel. From there on in she dove head first into the new vampire world and into him. A new world opened, bringing to blows new and old enemies, and a certain vampire mother. Can Elena and Damon learn to use their bond before it consumes them? (M for Smut, no sire bond, starts at "The Five")

This is how I pictured the series going after the Series 5 mid season break. It was written for my daughter who couldn't wait for it to return! First public attempt at fan fic, feedback greatly appreciated.
