This verse holds true to the origin stories laid out in the novels and falls into the show storyline (with some exceptions/alterations) before departing post season four (though it does ignore most of the canon of season four) and picking up five years later.This verse will include some of the elements/plots of the first series of novels. Also please note that this is an active and large verse and therefore if characters fall inactive for more then a week without giving a hiatus notice the character will be reopened. We understand that people get busy but just let us know you need a hiatus.

It's now five years post season four and everyone is returning to Mystic Falls, some starting their lives post college, others like Madeline and Caroline returning for the summer from Gotham University, and others from various places. As things have finally appeared to settle in their lives trouble seems to be brewing on the horizon as strange things begin to happen in town, animals acting up and people acting strange. However what no one knows is that there are two kitsune's at play, Misao and Shinichi whom seek to wreak havoc and destroy the town. 

Quick Reference:

Tatia’s daughter was Elizabeth Morrow, whom would later die and become a Guardian, her becoming the mother of Elena, Maggie, Jeremy, and Elena after her defection from the Celestial Court. Thus making Katherine and Elena part of Tatia’s bloodline and not doppelgangers. (Elena was not adopted in this verse.)

The Salvatore's are about 500 and from Florence, Italy like in the novels, and Katherine was turned into a vampire by Klaus whom influenced her greatly over the years.

Elena was never sired to Damon and she never turned off her humanity. Caroline and Elena's friendship, in the past, was much closer to that of the books, Caroline's story arc following her story as laid out in the books until she was humiliated at the Founder's Event, after this event, her storyline falls into line with the show a bit more post her dating Matt, her eventually becoming closer with Elena and the others. Caroline was never turned into a vampire, rather she was bitten by Tyler during a full moon and eventually turned into a hybrid by Klaus.

The story of the Originals has replaced the unknown origins of the Old Ones in the novels and thus Klaus is a bit more twisted then in the show. However, Katherine was never in danger by Klaus as her bloodline was no revealed until Klaus went after Elena. So in this respect the storyline again diverges. 

The Dark Dimension/City of Darkness is the 'Other Side' and the Guardian's exist. Silas was a kitsune and the kitsune race is still in existence. 

Katherine was killed by Elena (season 4), Elena dying in the process. Elena was resurrected and Katherine was resurrected by  the Guardians during Elena's first year of college. They are now on fairly good terms with each other and have accepted that they are half-sisters.

Maggie Gilbert exists, Jeremy and Kol never died. And unlike in the books, Klaus is still alive. 

Elena and Katherine's blood is toxic to all Old Ones/Originals, given that they have both died which had triggered their Guardian halves. 

After season four, everyone graduated high school. Caroline Forbes and Madeline Salvatore (Zach's daughter) traveled Europe for three years before moving to Gotham City (so the world of DC Comics is incorporated to the canon in this verse) and starting college at Gotham University (part of their Gotham's Calling verse which takes place two years before this verse and parallels it to a degree, see link here for that verse's info), while the others attended university at Delcrest. 

For the last few years Damon and Katherine have been road tripping, though as they have returned Katherine is experiencing a pull toward Klaus.

The Originals had moved to New Orleans for the last five years however they, or at least some of them, have returned to Mystic Falls. There are no Klaus' babies as of this time as Hayley does not exist.

Meredith and Alaric (Alaric follows the book origins) married six months ago and Meredith has an internship at her father's law offices.

Bonnie is studying Art and living with Zander.
