The First Cut Is The Deepest (Matt/Elena) - Part 1lit_chick08April 12 2011, 01:17:42 UTC
The first time Elena thought she might like Matt Donovan as something more than a friend, they were eleven. They were on a field trip to Monticello and Miranda - in her typically absentminded fashion - had given her Jeremy's lunch by mistake. Elena had opened her lunch box to find a ham sandwich and an orange, two of her most hated food stuffs in the world. She had been picking at the Cheeze-Its when Matt sat down next to her and, without saying a word, handed her his turkey sandwich and banana.
The first time Elena knew she liked Matt Donovan as more than a friend, they were thirteen. It was the first year her parents let her go to the Mystic Falls Country Club to watch the 4th of July fireworks without a parent present, and Elena spent an inordinate amount of time picking out her outfit of jean shorts and a red tank top. Once the sun set and the fireworks began, the temperature dropped and Elena shivered, hugging herself to keep the chill away, wishing she had listened to her mother about taking a sweater. And then Matt

The first time Elena knew she was going to break up with Matt Donovan, her parents had been dead for three weeks. Matt came over to visit; her broken ribs didn't allow for much mobility and the idea of going outside wasn't appealing to her anyway. As Jenna burnt dinner and Jeremy blasted System of a Down, Elena sat on her bed and looked at the boy who loved her so much he had slept in her hospital room the night she was brought in and realized it wasn't all-encompassing love she was feeling. There was no desperation or passion with Matt; it was all predictable comfort and the last thing Elena wanted anymore was predictable comfort

In my head canon, if there were no vampires, Elena and Matt would still end up together, complete with Elena teaching and Matt managing the grill and there would be a house with an actual picket fence and a golden retriever puppy and adorable babies and only happy things would happen to them...

I don't know how I missed this prompt in the first place. The second I saw it, I immediately knew I could make unleash my Matt/Elena head canon upon you.
I always imagine Matt and Elena just being very normal, happy kids before her parents died, and I don't think there's enough happy!normal!Elena in fandom or nearly enough Matt in general. I'm glad you liked it. And don't worry, you have nothing to regret :)

I feel like Matt deserves a happy ending. After all, in canon, it is physically impossible for something good to happen to him.

Oh gosh, I completely agree, poor boy's life is just so constantly tragic, I just want to hug him.
