Here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed - a Damon/Elena meta

[upupa_epops]

This is yet another spontanous TVD meta. Because I have feelings about the last episode, and I have FEELINGS about what I currently see all around the internet. So, you know, it's either writing a meta, or spontanously growing a set of fangs and eating random people. This meta is a pitchfork in the hand of an angry God

You are adorable.

Hmm, interesting question. We'd have to assume that compelling Jeremy is a breaking point for Elena. In this case, I could imagine Elena living a double life, all Jekyll-and-Hyde, keeping up a facade during the day and acting out in shadows. They would still be friends and behave like friends, and Elena would be all responsible and adult, but from time to time things would get out of control with Damon, Elena's equivalent of Damon's random kills in s2. And, strangely, I think he would go for it, and maybe even make it his own way to act out? Something like friends with benefits, only it would be more about painful levels of honesty than just sex. Sex would only be a result. What do you say?

No binary oppositions will survive in this show ;).

Granted, there will be a bigger breaking point. I just made an assumption for the sake of an argument.

Yeah, it's the talking that's really dangerous. It can expose things. And Damon would go for it. He is weak, that one.

Heh, who does that remind you of? Without the being friends part, though, obvs. But yeah, S6 Spuffy is really the only way I see D/E working...

[upupa_epops]

It is similar, but then lately I started paying attention to all the things that were different? Granted, it's hard not to think about s6 Spuffy, but I've already seen one of those, so I started fishing for differences with Damon/Elena :). I'm actually plotting to write a comparison post about how D/E is NOT like Spuffy, but it will probaby happen after finals, or something.

[eowyn_315]

This is true. And generally I don't do the comparison thing, but S6 Spuffy is, like, my go-to paradigm for fucked up couples having super-hot sex. :)

DO IT. DO IT.

I thought you'd approve :p.

Frankly, I still find many similarities there, and I think many of them are consciously written (it's a play with the genre), but the more I write Damon/Elena the more I get drawn to differences. It might be that I understand Elena in ways I could never understand Buffy. Or, you know... I love Spuffy, but I already have one of those!
