This is nothing but a delight, my dear. Your Damon is hysterical, the plot is (necessarily) ludicrous in the best of ways, and I deeply anticipate the eventual boning.
He shook the thought away with a slight grimace; he wasn’t the lead female in a romantic comedy - why did he always imagine a voice-over following him around?
because he is the lead female in a romantic comedy tho.
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD when Katherine appeared, BUT OF COURSE. It could be no other way.
To be continued (apparently)
I CANNOT WAIT

I love that we don't know how genuine Elena is re: her innocent persona because we only ever see her through Damon's filter. Is she aware of the effect she has? does she play with that? does she consciously use it as a defense mecanism/soft power? I love that I don't know how much is manipulation, how much is honesty and how much is Damon's bias.
He believed, fully and utterly, that his approach had a delicacy, a refinement, a romanticism that the world was otherwise missing. He gave the world a sneak peek at a distant past, he ( ... )

I am SO GLAD you stayed!!!! (I have never before written/enjoyed an all-humanAU)
There is something about illusions and performance (as well as unreliable depiction from the narrator) that really worked for me, especially considering that this is a story told through the male gaze.
THIS. Best compliment. Ever. Thank you. I'm so thrilled that this is working! And I didn't mean for this to come from the male ~gaze, but it is too perfect and it allows Elena more flexibility, actually. So often we think of the male ~gaze being so static and confining... but in this case (and for the doppleganger we can play with this) the male ~gaze is so easily manipulated and distracted. Or is it?
I just hope you like what's coming next *g*
I died a little. This is perf

I don't even know what to say. This comment is perfect. You are perfect. I am blushing scarlet.
