Pairing: Stefan Salvatore/Caroline Forbes
Rating: General audiences
Summary: Set during Season 2; Caroline is enrolled in Home Economics to hold on to her humanity, Stefan is enrolled in Home Economics to keep an eye on Caroline, and both of them are in way over their heads.
Author’s Note: I started writing this fic in like 2014 and weirdly got some inspiration back for it, though it’s probably going to be wildly different than I originally planned, seeing as I can’t remember what I originally planned.
Inspired by a post that I’ve since lost and can’t link, this episode of Batman Beyond, and these tags by threadsandspiderwebs.
Canon relationships are still canon in this fic, but the focus is on Stefan/Caroline.
It was the week after her transition and the exact day of the add/drop deadline that Stefan transferred into her home economics class.
Naturally, she was suspicious.
The class wasn’t exactly filled with aspiring Martha Stewarts, minus the prison time. It mostly consisted of kids who wanted the easy A but didn’t have the talent required for art or the enthusiasm for possible limb amputation necessary for shop, with the addition of a small group of stoners who were clearly only invested in the culinary aspect of the curriculum.
Caroline had signed up for the class last semester when having more to do in the increasing amount of time her mother spent holed up in the Sheriff’s office had seemed like a good idea, before her induction into the supernatural world had necessitated the acquisition of an entirely different set of survival skills. She had stayed enrolled in the class thinking it might help keep her connected with her humanity at best and bore her to re-death at the worst.
Stefan didn’t fit in any of those categories. Still, she might have shrugged off his unexpected appearance if he hadn’t also popped up in her sections of AP European History and Honors Chemistry.
