The idea for this post was spurred by
arabian's request for 'happy stuffies' (I just love that phrase <3). I thought I would share some of my current favourite Damon & Elena videos.
First, a little background on what I do and don't like in videos.
Likes
- Music that suits my idea of Damon & Elena
- picture changes in time with the music
- a little writing as long as it's not overpowering
Dislikes
- Any appearance of Katherine
- Quickly flashing pictures across the screen
- Lots of visual effects
That about covers it, I think. I'll put a little blurb before each video to help you decide if you want to watch it. Please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.
Echo - Damon/Elena by sweetiepie1019
http://youtu.be/sqXaqud4QbA This is a clean, sweet, and nicely edited video. I just love this song.

elena/damon ;; at the beginning with you by TwiOth288
http://youtu.be/_a1Yf7f5wR0 I felt this song spoke to me of this pairing. There is a bit of text onscreen but not too much.

Damon & Elena - Meant To Be by naphie88
http://youtu.be/qoACS56Agwo This one was retweeted by Julie Plec and she replied to the girl who made it. It is a slower paced video. The sentiments and voice overs were what got me.

Damon & Elena - Holding on and Letting go by Anne0791
http://youtu.be/f0vHqBByX5A This is a lovely little video after that wonderful episode (3x10). It captures the sweetness that is Damon & Elena and so many of their moments. I've watched it again and again and again and will forever associate this song with them (along with thousands of fangirls, I'm sure).

Damon + Elena | Timeless Love by ShatteredXDesires
http://youtu.be/GzsQv4fy3jQ This one encapsulates so much of what I love about DE. It has the most writing in it, but it's unobtrusive and the scenes and voice-overs fit perfectly with the theme of the whole video. The music blends in perfectly resulting in an excellent and wonderful video, IMHO.
