Oh, wonderful. This is so gorgeous and sorrowful, you make my heart hurt. Stefan's whole thing about trying to figure out what he's doing wrong so he can be better is put across so well, and is so sad, especially him thinking those thoughts while Katherine's literally stopping him from making his own choices, forcing him to do the wrong thing, and he's blaming himself even though it's all her, and Katherine wants the truth but is saddened by it. So brilliant.

I adored the Damon bit, Stefan obsessing over journals, and of course Damon comes to fix him. And the contrasts between Damon's sparse room, and Stefan's cluttered room, but of course Damon wouldn't change Stefan's world, he'll just force Stefan into his own world. Having Caroline acknowledge the pedestal she puts Stefan on was so perfect, because Stefan expects himself to live up to others expectations, and so he knows he was always going to let himself down when it came to Caroline.

The whole Elena section was a lovely ending, especially the weaving of Stefan and Elena and Damon.

And on the note of that fic you mentioned: Yay for more Bonnie character development in fic. There should always be more Bonnie in fic.

Hahah thank you!

Like, someday I just need to write Katherine POV on Stefan. Because, you're totally right. Stefan's mindset right here is profoundly sad. He feels guilt for not being able to comfort him (AND HE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE HE'S TOO WEAK TO RAISE HIS ARM BECAUSE SHE'S DRAINED HIS BLOOD) but, man, Katherine, right here? This is why Stefan broke her as much as she broke him. Damon was much easier to love, I think, than Stefan. Stefan got under his skin in a way that no one else ever has, not even Elijah, and I really want to explore that. It's just hard to in tight Stefan pov because he's nowhere near ready to emotionally see that (and frankly, I don't think he ever has to.)

Damon wouldn't change Stefan's world, he'll just force Stefan into his own world.
Yes, basically. Damon love Stefan, even his pack rat obsessiveness. So he won't actually do anything to harm that part of him (at least not in their current relationship) but he's more than willing to literally drag Stefan away from it and make Stefan follow his rules in his room.

Having Caroline acknowledge the pedestal she puts Stefan on was so perfect, because Stefan expects himself to live up to others expectations, and so he knows he was always going to let himself down when it came to Caroline.
I HAVE A LOT OF NEEDS FOR CAROLINE AND STEFAN IN SEASON FOUR. PRAYER CIRCLE WITH ME.

The Elena ending was the one that took forever to do so I'm glad you like it!

Yeah, Bonnie became a big part of the D/s story. Like, usually, it's Damon who plays the third wheel as it were in my Stefan/Elena stories. But this time Bonnie did. I mean, Damon's there, but his role is much smaller than Damon's tbh.

Ooh, you should so do that Katherine POV fic. Yeah, I agree, I think Stefan saw a part of her that she could barely see, let alone anyone else, and it was real up until the moment it wasn't at all real, and that had to hurt. Also when she comes back in season 2 and keeps force-hugging Stefan, there's something so lonely about that.

I will never have enough of the Salvatores and their messed up ways. And Damon regularly tidying Stefan's room is my new head-canon.

Caroline and Stefan stuff will happen in season four, it says so on the predictions chart I made ;D (It also says Bonnie will go proper darkside, and Stefan will help save her). I really hope there's a lot of Caroline Stefan scenes in season four, it was one of the things I really missed in season 3.
