I just wanted to hug Stefan throughout the text. He's hurt but calm in that typical Stefan way, and of course he's not mad, he loves them both. Seriosuly, I love this, it's so in character.

Oh, hugs for Stefan, yay! I'm glad it made him sympathetic--that's definitely the way I wanted you to feel. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Lovely.

(And I love that your reward to yourself rewards us as well.)

[badboy_fangirl]

:D

It's not often Stefan starts talking to me, so I figured I better run with it!

Lady, I am having the most craptacular day at work and reading this beauty of a story just made my day 10x's better. And the title, (standing in the desert) wishing for rain...Perfection!

Finally, Stefan sees what has been there all along :)

[badboy_fangirl]

Oh, you're welcome! I'm glad it lifted your spirits even for a little bit!!

And, yes, it's time for Stefan to face the truth: D + E = 4VR! :D

Great fic. I think Stefan has a desire to have courage as Damon to make the bad decisions and I loved the way you wrote him. I wish this would happen on the show, Damon and Elena getting busted.

[badboy_fangirl]

Thank you. I'd like to see more of that too--Stefan self-aware and seeing the real reasons why Damon does the things he does. It would go a long way towards making me like Stefan again.

Yay for working on your original story (and Yay for us that we get to enjoy your treat as well ;)

This piece of yours goes a long way in making me like Stefan better. Once again, everything you wrote feels right and believable to me. I love the thought that Stefan just wants to be like his big brother (monstrosities and all). I also loved that Stefan says the words out loud to Elena as she (and Damon both) need to hear them.

[badboy_fangirl]

It helped me like Stefan better too. I sure hope we get to see something like this from him eventually. And Damon and Elena, too! :D
