Why This Must Be Read | Show Damon/Elena do NOT work for me, but in fic, and in the hands of a select few TVD writers, there is no better combination. This is a relatively short one-shot that doesn't glamorise what they are, it's raw and real and perfect. Elena remembers when a real romance was something out of a storybook - no, the idea didn’t seem ironic then. It seemed like the sort of thing you wait a lifetime for - a small town, a sad girl, the soulful eyes of a stranger.

Why This Must Be Read | This is an AU where Damon was the brother Elena met first. And jane_wanderlust is a genius. The end. But nothing quite happens, and nothing quite changes; but she guesses that’s how it goes now. That’s what it’s like when her world’s been split open, and she’s left with empty fists.
