Best schmoopy ship ever.

And I want to give you all the emoting, because I am consumed by feelings right now. But first of all, I am trying really hard not to keysmash for an hour straight and submit this as a reaction (I feel like I am doing really well, I am quite proud of my self-control). And to be completely honest, I just need to keep this story to myself for a bit. Because this is just such a perfect present and I need to savour it selfishly for a while longer. Does that make sense?
PS--Do with me whatever you want, I am yours.

GOD I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I NEED TO YELL AT YOU ABOUT. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH YOUR EXISTENCE AND JUST.
This is so mine. Nobody can take it from me. Like it's simply MINE. Don't touch it everybody, it's my present. /possessive
IT WAS AS IF ALL OUR DISCUSSIONS WERE PLAYING SIMULTANEOUSLY TO THE FIC AND GOD KELSEY IT WAS INCREDIBLE IT WAS LIKE A SECRET UNDERSTANDING OF FUSED HEADCANON AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.
lol we are so gross how do people even deal with us

True.
I KNOW! I WAS SO WORRIED IT WAS COMING OUT WRONG AND THAT I WASN'T SHOWING ENOUGH BUT I DIDN'T EVEN CARE BECAUSE I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTAND.
lol we are so gross how do people even deal with us
if I were anyone else I'd just ignore us - we are ridiculous.
((BP - I NEEDED this fic and didn't even know. Jer/Care is like a giant warm hug of everything lovely and understanding and comfort. Emotional porn ftw)

Like melting chocolate on her tongue, feeling the sweet hardness become sticky and soft, filling her mouth, filling her senses.
I knew you were going to work with chocolate but I had no idea it would be this perfect. WHAT IS THIS METAPHORE EVEN? Jeremy Gilbert it sweet chocolate and basically sex. I don't even know what to say Kelsey. THAT IS THE SHIP. He would never activey pursue her. He just melts around her, filling her senses until they are so wrapped up in each other that it's simply too late. ASLJSAMLJDMLJFMLSFMLSFJMDJLM ( ... )

DUDE. When you said that thing about Care/Jer being like hot cocoa I ALMOST DIED. BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH CHOCOLATE IN THIS FIC AND I DIDN'T EVEN TELL YOU THAT AND THEN YOU SAID IT AND I DIED.
He just melts around her, filling her senses until they are so wrapped up in each other that it's simply too late.
YES. THIS. SLKDFJ SDLKDJFSADLK!!!!
LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT SHE IS WEARING ONE OF TYLER'S OLD TOPS (and the fact that she still arguing about the perfect description for them? asldjmsdkj)
NECESSARY DETAIL. I'm so glad you loved it as much as I did. Tyler would always be there. Anna will always be there. Something like that doesn't go away.
Side note : I love love LOVE how ex-aware this ship is. Because it's never about rewriting the past or losing yourself in an epic romance. It's just healing and learning to live with yourselfI NEEDED THIS. Especially since they are the only ones really left alive. Completely and utterly alone. You can't lose EVERY PERSON you love and not need healing ( ... )

My quiet, stoic baby. And his emotional princess with all her energy and noise and ugh.
Unnng my feeeeelings!!!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? WHAT IS THIS SHIP THAT HAS COMPLETELY INCEPTED MY MIND!
RIGHT THERE WITH YOU OBVIOUSLY. (Thank God. We are not alone. This ship is so intense it's really overwhelming!)
My Caroline/Elena shipper feelings never really go away.
Of course they don't. They are my number one wrong!ship to be honest.

CRYING. Because YES. She needs to fight her war alone. It's her fight and she will fight for her right to die (or die for her right to fight? sometimes these things blurr together) and RIGHTFULLY SO. But she doesn't understand. She doesn't understand that THIS IS HIS WAR TOO. He needs to fight so bad. Maybe not next to her. But he needs to be given the space to take action again. And then he does, but it's in such a soft, non-agressive way... Which really is so true to his deflective nature. Gah. WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD TO ME? /FEELINGS
But life in the Gilbert home with Jeremy, shunted aside in the midst of a war, was hot chocolate in the morning and sitcoms in the evening and gardening in the afternoons and long days at work and laundry on the weekends. Life in the Gilbert home with Jeremy was a bit like playing house; only they weren’t playing anymore ( ... )

SOBBING OKAY? I have heaps of Bonnie ~feelings that I try to pretend aren't there (because it gets really overwhelming) and then she crops up and takes over the scene without even trying. /ugh
Shit but what is happening. Like, I'm so in love with this idea of domestic!Jeremy because it's so unlike him (and totally like him) if that makes sense?Yes. Because this is where I felt like Jeremy got a little lost in Caroline's need. But the thing is - they were TOLD to "be home" by Elena - they were told to "stay safe" by Bonnie - and the way he knows how to do that is through domesticity. He grew up in a house of strong women - he knows how to make them comfortable. He fits around Caroline like a glove ( ... )

Seriously though, I want to write this scenario from his perspective now, so that I can explore the EFFORT he would have to put into being so "norm" with/for her (which "her" doesn't really matter, does it?)
aSMLDMLFHMLSHMLHMLWHSD YES YES YES YES YES DYING AT YOUR WORDS OF TRUTH AND ALSO YES PLEASE DO IT I WILL COMBUST
Honestly, the fact that they have a compatible humor has to be one of my favorite thing about that ship!!! LAUGHING IS IMPORTANT OKAY.
I do not even want to spend time understanding people who don't love Jeremy Gilbert. How can you not.
AND I NEED TO MAKE THIS SO CLEAR: HE'S NOT LAUGHING AT HER - HE'S LAUGHING AT THE DINNER ON THE STOVE BEING BURNED AND HOW SHE ( ... )

I CANNOT EVEN WITH THE LEVEL OF PERFECT. THE IMAGERY KELSEY THE IMAGERY. IT'S JUST SO GOOD I AM GETTING PHYSICAL PLEASURE FROM IT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY THAT I THINK THIS SHIP IS MY FAVORITE CAROLINE SHIP. HE ALLOWS HER TO BE CHILDISH WITHOUT BEING PATRONIZING ABOUT IT. BECAUSE THAT'S THE POINT, HE DOESN'T ALLOW HER. HE JUST LET'S HER BE. AND SOMETIMES SHE'S A CHILD. AND HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. NOT ON AN INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, NOT IN A 'OH SHE'S SO CUTE', NOT IN A MIDLY CONDESCENDING BUT TOLERATING FASHION. HE EARNESTLY UNDERSTANDS THAT NEED IN A WAY THAT MAKES HIM COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TO IT. SHE CAN BE LIKE THAT AROUND HIM BECAUSE HE WILL NOT FEED FROM IT. (SOB) Does that even make sense?
But he had reached forward and jerked her forward so that she was sprawled awkwardly across his lap, his lips pressed ( ... )

Yes. This ALL makes sense. It's EXACTLY how I feel (see the capslock of emotions in the above comment)
THE SOUND I MADE. OMFG THE SOUND I MADE. I CANNOT DESCRIBE IT TO YOU OKAY. HIS. HAND. IS. TANGLED. UP. IN. HER. HAIR. I have so many issues with men/hair!touching but JEREMY SHOULD TANGLE HIS HAND IN EVERYBODY'S HAIR PLEASE FOR IT IS THE FUCKING HOTTEST THING THAT EVER WAS. THE END.
ALL. YOUR. FAULT. YOU HAD TO POINT OUT JEREMY/ELENA'S HAIR AND NOW IT IS A LEGIT FETISH AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. WHY.
ONLY YOU WOULD GIVE ME THAT AND I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR IT. CONFESSION TIME : I WAS ALREADY LOUD BY THE TIME THAT THEY KISSED. BUT THIS LINE. KELSEY. I WAS HOWLING. THIS LINE IS WHY THIS STORY IS M I N E
TRUTH: I WROTE THIS FOR YOU.
UNG THIS IS SUCH PORNI was worried this was a little OOC - and then I realized HOW MUCH Jeremy puts his faith in the people he loves: he would SAY THIS ALOUD to the woman he loves ( ... )
