The Jill Gilbert Saga is a trilogy of The Vampire Diaries fanfics by Riana Salvatore. They revolve around the original canon of the books, where Jeremy is female, although the same age and named Jill. The stories are mostly kept the same. It consists of Let It Rain, The High Road, and Disaster
This series contains examples of
- Aborted Arc: Elena was supposed to gain Jeremy's ghost seeing tendencies in Disaster but it was dropped by the time the story began.
- Ascended Extra: Rebekah was never an extra per se, but in "Disaster" she is given a much larger role and even appears earlier.
- Beta Couple: Damon and Elena throughout the series with numerous other hookups.
- Big Bad: The council in Let It Rain, Klaus in The High Road, and The Balcoin circle in Disaster
- Crossover: Disaster features Diana Meade as one of the main characters and evil features The Balcoin Circle as the Big Bad
- Disc-One Final Boss: Disaster features The Order, a vampire mafia run Matt's dad, but they pale in comparison to the Big Bad
- Face–Heel Turn: Jill makes one at the end of The High Road, as does Elijah
- Fix Fic: The second half of Disaster serves to fix the disastrous second half of Season 3, by eliminating Esther and Alaric's alternate personality.
- Gender Flip: The whole point of the series, although it's more a Gender Re-Flip, since Jeremy was female to begin with.
