On viewing the pairing, I started to feel ashamed for wanting to read something that wasn't Stelena (or Stefonnie), but I was so curious to see how'd you write Stefan/Katherine that I went ahead. Then I saw that it was only from Katherine's point of view, so I was more relaxed. Lol. Like you said, I can't see Stefan turning to her unless something horrible happens and then he has a lobotomie.

I thought you captured Katherine beautifully. Girl is selfish, and it's very apparent that Stefan totally shook her with his love confession. It's very intriguing 'cause ya know it's not going to woobiefy her *Glares at Damon.* Awesome work!

That Sara Bareilles song is amazing. I saw it as your melody status and looked it up (because I like her song Gravity). I thought it sounded so familiar while I was listening to it. Google told me it was in Memory Lane, and I remembered which scene it was in. I can't stop listening to it!

LOL, it was a challenge to write them actually because I do like SE but there's something so compelling about all the relationships on this show and I would give my left foot to have the time to write them. It was confusing to me that people think that these two could actually get back together and be in a relationship that is semi-sane just because we know Kat's insane, and sometimes it's too much, there's just too much to sweep under the carpet. But I love the perverse possibilities so maybe a dark AU or you know, Stefan loses his mind, lol. I'm weird like that

This was beautifully written; you captured Katherine's disdain for weakness and her drive for self preservation so well here, this is definately one of the best Katherine depictions I've read, really great stuff :)

Thank you very much, she was so much fun to think about and try to get inside of. That's such a kind compliment, I'm sure there are many talented folks who've written her, so I'm glad you liked my interpretation.

I love her. God, just want to sit and think about her all day.

Cheers for stopping by :)

[ladygawain]

Thank you very much :)

I saw that you had a Katherine fic on your 2010 fic list and so CLICKED ON IT SO FAST YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.

Love this! There's something almost admirable in the way that Katherine unashamedly puts herself first. I love to think about the potential that's there with Stefan because while I absolutely believe that Katherine wants to *possess* him (and while she might very well see that herself as being love), real love is about putting someone else's needs above your own. And I'm not sure Katherine is capable of that.

You captured her so nicely in this, obviously you must write some more Katherine fic in the future. XD

Aw, thank you, bb!

Katherine is the spirit animal I WISH I had because she is so awesome, I want her to never change from the way you've described her and I think you're right - I doubt she's capable of that kind of love.

Thank you so much - she's so scary, I hope the muse strikes again, because I really want fic about her before the Salvatores and after when she was 'watching Stefan'.

Eta: i need a Katherine icon. How do I not have one already? Weird.
