Why this must be read:

Jenna fic. Honestly, do I need to say anything more than that this is an entire story just about Jenna? It follows her from a young age until Miranda and Grayson's funeral. A wonderful character piece that fleshes Jenna out into this fascinating, fully-developed character. She fights with her mom and loves her sister (most of the time) and keeps dating assholes and is desperate to escape Mystic Falls with all it's small town pagentry and gossip. Stories like this really make me mourn the tragedy that we didn't get to see more of Jenna when she was on the show.

An Excerpt

When Miranda and Grayson showed up at the house with a baby in tow and announced that they'd adopted a little girl and that her name was Elena, it was a surprise. Especially for their parents.

Practically the minute after they walked into the house, Miranda and Grayson were ushered into their dad's study, the door closed firmly behind them. The closed door didn't do anything to block out the volume of their mother's voice.

Jenna was left alone with the baby, who was sleeping peacefully in her carrier, totally oblivious to the commotion that her existence had caused. Jenna watched her sleep for a minute and then got bored and turned the television back on. Baby or not, she wasn't going to miss Blossom. She'd be totally screwed the next day at school if she did.

Halfway through the episode, Miranda appeared back in the living room and sat down next to her on the couch. "So what do you think?" she asked, nodding her head towards the baby sleeping on the coffee table.

Jenna shrugged, trying for nonchalant. Seeming too interested in anything wasn't cool. "She's pretty cute, I guess."
