Ok, I'll go actually read this now :D

OK SO LOVE IT OBVIOUSLY. Oh the tragedy and comedy of the Salvatore brothers <3 The Lexi/Damon sex took me by surprise but I LOVE how it was written <3

LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL THE DAMON/ELENA(/STEFAN) moments, because Stefan is always there with them, in some way at least.

never, never guilty enough

OH BREAK MY HEART RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING, WILL YA.

05. (every second of every day)

HOW? JUST HOW?

03. That should be the end, except -- Damon Salvatore is a boy who has never learned to let anything mean nothing.

Bless that stupid boy. BLESS YOU.

Damon is running his tongue across his dripping wrist, closing the wound. Licks his lips once, twice. "So, yeah. I'll be going then." His mouth twists into a hungry sneer. "Good luck with that whole control thing."

OH DAMON.

These days, Elena gives him smiles like secrets, eyes telling stories of waiting and yearning and something as adolescent as forbidden love.

OH ELENA.

FEELS.

He'd grab Stefan by the collar, a heavy anchor, and press their foreheads together as they both breathe ( ... )

HOLY FUCK. This thing is AWESOME.

I'm going to vomit emotions for a minute SORRY FOR THE MESS.

Numbered out of order!!!! <33333

Stefan, a lonely thought. The sun glares.
LOVE IT.

Life shouldn’t be that way: an adolescent cry.
“Every second of every day,” Damon is spewing forth, romantic as a deluge.
MADE OF WIN.

The entire Bon Jovi scene, I think I read it three times. SO many great lines from Damon, like bee-eff-fucking-eff and Stefan being absolutely Stefan. I could picture it clearly and feel the tension and longing for each other. SO FREAKING EXCELLENT. Damon forcing Stefan to lose control and then walking away. (The headlines scream: Entire Californian apartment block brutally massacred; the work of a monster.) Ending that part like that was so damn cool. Neat. I'm old, whatever, it rocked.

"Do you always have to bring up Stefan?" (You do this, you do; you sabotage things.)
Love this, plus the quote usage.

Number 7. <3

(These days, Damon keeps his hands to himself.)This whole snippet. Those freaking Salvatores ( ... )

First of all... YOU!!!

Damon is spewing forth, romantic as a deluge.
This boy and his Romanticism! So perfectly captured.

it gushes obscenely over Stefan's tongue, rich and thick, cloying, intoxicating (Damon), and Stefan gulps it gladly.
Shivers. This imagery is lovely. I love it when blood is referred to as "thick" ... Idk why - something about the visceral description of texture (of this thing we take for granted, but is the building block of SO many stories/worlds) always delights me.

(The headlines scream: Entire Californian apartment block brutally massacred; the work of a monster.)
This was such a PERFECT ending to the Bon Jovi fiasco that it all was.

These days, when Stefan looks on the verge of losing control, Elena is there, pressing him against a surface with her new inhuman strength, hands on his face and muttering nonsense calming words
HOW?! (/of course) a story about the Salvatores gives me ALL THE ELENA FEELS! Oh, Elena! <3333

Upstairs, there is the scratching of Stefan's familiar quill. Dear Diary, Damon ( ... )

YOU! Thank you very much, m'dear. I am ecstatic to be giving you feels. ♥

This boy and his Romanticism!

Haha, truth. As serious business as that scene was, I couldn't stop giggling during it because I was half-expecting Damon to literally keel over on the floor from the force!!!! of his emotions!!!!!

LOL, noted. ;)

Awwww. ♥

Because - WHAT?! Stefan would never, ever even THINK something like this. Oh, Damon and your projecting-issues.

LMAO, TOTALLY. There should be a publication of Stefan's Journals, As Written By Damon, tbh.

You so perfectly captured the Absurdist nature of Damon's Romanticism... thing is, he's always so self-mocking. Like he knows that he's ridiculous. It's lovely.

Awwww. ♥

Random bursts of Elena-love are a pretty regular occurrence around here.

Stefan's Journals, As Written By Damon, tbh.

Well. YES.

You are too sweet! ♥ And so much agreement, Damon's self-mockery of his own romanticism is possibly my favourite thing about him. :D

Well I for one love the way you think.

And the fic itself is very Damon like even the structure echoing his thinking. So I enjoyed this and the Lexi sex ...I think it is my headcanon now.

(and Stefan knows like I do that sleeping on his bed was on purpose--completely)

I enjoy the transference because it makes almost more sense this wy than other ways? (and this is my favorite kink I think though hard to do well--you did well)

lol, curse you for enabling me so much. (♥)

You know it.

Worrrrrrrd.

And thanks! Glad to hear I maybe pulled off the transference angle, because that was a tricky one. Oh, and that it's very Damon, the bastard. <<<333

oh, ouch. I liked the Damon/Lexi section especially.

ever_neutral September 27 2012, 03:37:26 UTC
lol, I can't believe how well-received the Damon/Lexi has been! I was certain people would just be "why" at it. Anyway, I'm pleased you liked this, thanks for the comment. ♥
