This is just all kinds of wonderful!!! It was just perfect that now, when they're finally at long last crossing that line between them, they are so desperate for the physical contact that they get each other off against the wall of the sorority house. Putting Damon's plans in there as well just added to the perfection. The runaway train analogy was very fitting.
Simply fabulous is how I would describe the bedroom scene. There were so many great details: chasing the lightening in each others eyes, Damon being overwhelmed with his emotions, and Elena admonishing him not to leave. The piece de resistance was being in Damon's head about never being able to leave - ever.
Damon's issues are so deeply seated that he honestly cannot even allow himself to believe in the possibility of Elena loving him. He's so very broken. This scene felt so real and in character for both of them. Of course this would be the topic of their first fight. Oh, and the angst factor is deliciously high as this is a rather serious fight and who knows how they'll get past it.
The living room scene is simply priceless and sublime and perfect!!! Lydia's comments and reactions are exactly what they both needed to resolve their difference of opinion. Elena's "I love you." is filled with win and Damon actually believing her is simply awesome. Wonderful closing for this section with things not-at-all going as Damon planned! :D
And continuing with the wonderful is Damon/Alaric phone call. I loved that Ric immediately knew Damon's real motivation in calling as soon as he said how long he'd be in NC. Their camaraderie was mixed with just a hint of 'parental authority'. It's sweet that Ric feels compelled to give Damon the 'if you hurt my daughter' speech. The conversation also filled a need in Damon to bounce this new reality off his friend.
What a lovely depiction of their honeymoon period. I adored that a simple change in tone on Elena's part can stop him in his tracks. I have no doubt that Elena certainly did here the rest of his sentiment when he declared he loves her.
Their time together in Mystic Falls is lovely. You managed to convey the strength & passion of them but also gave Elena the sense to not want him to stay at Duke with her, so that she could concentrate on her studies. I do love how adorable Damon is and how he simply cannot deny Elena anything and the blow job thing is a perfect attribute with them. I've read and re-read this section several time, because I just love this stage (and I know it never lasts).
Katherine showing up is never a good thing but she certainly adds to the story.
Such a powerful reunion after their 3 week separation and the lovemaking was that much hotter and intense due to the influence of both of their' hidden agendas. Beautiful, subtle foreshadowing when Damon notices her larger breasts and a few extra pounds. It's so touching that Damon wants to make it easier for her when he believes she's going to let him go. That is a true measure of how much he loves her.
You know, by the time you get here, you just want them to "do it, already!" I mean, that's how I felt writing it, and it's how I wanted the reader to feel, and nothing felt more right then it not being particularly romantic at all--it was just desperate and heated, and with their inhibitions down, so honest, which is what everyone wants them to finally be with each other: honest! It made it so much easier for Elena to be honest with words later, and I feel like that's what made Damon able to believe it (or unable to convince himself it wasn't true) because the whole thing was the opposite of planned.
I swear, every time Ric and Damon interacted in this fic, I just wanted to write them forever. They were so much fun, and officially became my 2nd favorite pairing for the show. They are so much fun, and so real, always.
Katherine coming in like a wrecking ball is another of my favorite parts, though. She's so fun to write, and she was so much more important to the story than I gave her credit for at first.
