    Summary

    Louis had exactly three rules for himself. Sacred precepts that had kept him alive longer than most vampires in living memory:
     

    1. Never stay in one place for too long.

    2. Never turn anyone.

    3. Never fall in love.

     

    Little did he know that he was about to meet the man that would cause him to break all three.

    --

    As indicated, this is a pre-canon AU which explores the origins of Louis and how he came to be the mayor of a small town named Oakhurst, two hundred years before the events of the SMP take place. It preserves Owen's idyllic memory of the man -- and all of the events that lead up to his eventual demise -- while re-contextualizing the character and his motivations. If you prefer your Louis to be a perfect saint, this one is not for you.

    Mature tag is for mentions of past trauma/abuse (veiled). Eventual boys kissing in here somewhere (not explicit).

    Summary

    “I would like to advise you travel with Owen.”

    “I can’t do that.” Legundo’s reply was instantaneous.

    The barrier has come down, and the people of Oakhurst are free. Legundo was told nothing more.
    But he will never be free. Not so long as he carries the sins of his past—as well as a certain vampire he’s obliged to have accompany him.

    Summary

    Owen chose death over becoming human. Darkness swept over him, and when he next opens his eyes, he expects to see Louis. What he wasn’t expecting was filthy dirt, and the wretched cold of Oakhurst's townspeople all over again. But he’s got a second chance now. He can make better choices this time.

    But he won’t. He’ll make it worse.

    He's going to speedrun every single one of his worst life choices as quickly as possible. Starting with turning Doctor Legundo.

    Summary

    He couldn’t help his unintelligence, any more than she could help her father. And he was kind. She should try to remember that.

    Summary

    Owen has made a lot of decisions in his 200 and so years of existence. There's one he considers his most clearly damning.

    Legundo has made his own decisions in a much shorter period. He's not sure it's that simple.
