Not In This Life (A failed D/E O/S)

[loveepiclove]

Stefan and Elena sat in a booth at, The Mystic Grill. She was trying to concentrate on what Stefan was telling her, but was distracted by the sight of Damon and Rose laughing and drinking at the bar.

Damon and Rose seemed to be moving things along nicely now. Lately Elena found herself watching the two of them far more often than she should

You created a really interesting scenario there with Elena being in love with Damon only to think that he'd moved on and was happy. A lot of angst written as only you can but all of the sweetness and tenderness that these two are capable of.

Loved it :-)

ya know, i was reading this... and i actually got this pain in my chest... of total and utter angsty despair. especially with your quote at the top "a failed d/e" ... the story was kind of depressing me. and it sure didn't seem like it was going to have a happy ending, and like the glutton for punishment that i am, i decided to keep reading it... cuz i can't actually STOP reading a good d/e story.... and im so glad i finished, cuz it was truly beautiful... my chest no longer hurts now =)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. The fail in the title comes because someone read it and told me it was bad, and so I never posted it on ff.net. It was really nice to hear you liked it :)

I don't know why you call it failed because I really enjoyed it :-)

As much as I love your AU fics on FF.net, I really prefer canon fics. And this is one very sweet!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

how can I miss this?

I can't believe I miss this and you never told me you posted an o/s here!

Someone said it is bad? In what sense? It is beautifull written. So much angst and tenderness between the two. And I love that you are written in Elena's POV.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. The two people who I approached for opinion told me they thought it was...boring, or something like that. I know what they were trying to say, but I never had the confidence to post on ff.net after that.

It figures that it takes Damon seeming to move on before Elena realises her feelings. I really enjoyed your story and liked that she was made to face her responsibility for her feelings and actions. The only way it would have been better is if she told him she was wrong for telling him it would always be Stefan as she is still a very young, naive 17-year old. The angst and emotion was perfect as was Elena figuring out just what it meant to be on the outside of Damon's affection.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and leave a comment. It's nice to hear you thought the angst and emotion were good :)
