Author's Note - I'm going to ask for some help from my readers. I need a flashback idea for a story of human!Damon that involved him riding a horse and shows what it was about him then that made Damon think that Elena would have liked him as a human (for a later chapter).I already reviewed on FF, but here are some ideas for a flashback ( ... )

Ooh, I like some of these ideas, I'll see if something sparks to make a work-able flashback for me.

Thank you. :)

The blood sharing on the show was intense and hot, this is even more...I can picture Damon's face while Elena was sucking...

and no need to tell again how much I love Damon and Jeremy interaction.

Good chapter.

Ah, the blood-sharing, yet again something else that happened on the show that I totally had planned months before season 04 started. If only I could have super-speed written this fic, and gotten it all out there before season 04, I'd seem pretty dang psychic now, LOL!

Thanks for commenting. :)

I haven't gotten an account yet, but still I wanted to let you know that I absolutely adored this chapter.All three parts: Jeremy-Damon, Stefan-Caroline, Elena-Damon. These were really perfectly executed. I like it how much you include from the canon so the characters feel familiar, and still you add your own ideas to them. Greetings again from Germany, keep on. And I hope you're feeling better...

I am feeling better now, actually going to work tonight. Thank you.

Glad you liked the chapter (and thank you for mentioning all three parts, I love the Stefan/Caroline in this scenes).

I like it how much you include from the canon so the characters feel familiar, and still you add your own ideas to them.

Well, if you mean specific plot points and such (like the blood sharing, and the Stefan/Caroline interaction), it is PURELY coincidence that this happened on the show as well. Everything that is similar plot-wise/interaction-wise on the show and in my fic is coincidence. I conceived and plotted the entire fic out three weeks after season 03 ended. All of it (including stuff like Rebekah giving Matt a car, then truck, etc.) was stuff I came up with it. I'd say the show borrowed it from me if I hadn't taken so long to get around writing/posting stuff, LOL! I *have* totally accused some of my beta-readesr of being Julie Plec, though. Hee. I guess I just know the show that well. What you gonna do?

With canon I actually meant the things we learned about the characters during the first three seasons. Your story totally makes sense without the knowledge of Season 4. As you said, you know the story well and that makes your characters three-dimensional and believable.
Maybe Julie is channeling you... LOL. Sometimes I think the writers do take a look at different recaps, if only to see which clues have been picked on... and what might have to be explained later on.

Ah, OK, yeah, I try to make sure I keep it as canon as possible with what we know.

Sometimes I think the writers do take a look at different recaps, if only to see which clues have been picked on... and what might have to be explained later on.

That's probably something they should do, if they don't!

I was wondering how you were going to work the blood sharing in...love it! It looks like Elena is coming around to her feelings for Damon.

arabian January 16 2013, 02:05:02 UTC

I did NOT work the blood sharing "in." Nothing in this fic, absolutely NOTHING is based on anything that has happened in season 04 of the series. Everything in this fic I conceived and plotted out a few weeks after season 03 ended, including the blood sharing. That was always my plan for how Elena would cope with having to drink blood. It is so not my fault, LOL, that so many things that have happened in the show have also happened in my fic. I guess I just know the show that well. What you gonna do?

Yeah, Elena is FINALLY getting there. :) Thanks for commenting.

Just caught up with the story. I got behind during the holidays. Anyways, I'm still really enjoying it. I love Jeremy so much in this fic, and the Caroline/Stefan scenes are way better than what we got on the actual show. I can't wait for Elena to accept her vampire self and admit her love for Damon. :)

arabian January 20 2013, 09:48:09 UTC

Aww, I still love Caroline/Stefan on the show. Even annoying, at least they are being annoying in solidarity!!! (I can't help it, I just love them so much!)

I can't wait for Elena to accept her vampire self and admit her love for Damon. :)

Both things are going to happen, not at the same time, and one before the other. :)
