Wow... powerful fic. I could actually see this happening on the show. It would just be like Elena to give in and still be in denial.

Thank you! :) I'm glad you liked it!

I'm reviewing...the situation... fallinangelz21 October 16 2012, 13:35:55 UTC

When I first read this fic it totally broke my heart because it pains me when Elena is callous with Damon’s feelings. She’s kind of the queen of being callous with Damon’s feelings, though, and there’s something to be said for the fact that he lets her, so it’s not completely her fault. Anyway…

Before I get to the nitty-gritty of this review I have to say that I like that there’s no dialogue in this. I like the stream of consciousness. The whole thing flows really well. I’m not the biggest fan of parentheses writing - I’m more of a hyphen/dash girl, case in point - but you use it really consistently in this to express the thoughts that Elena tries not to think and for that I can get behind it.

She starts sleeping with Damon toward the end of autumn. Everyone must know, but so far, shockingly, no one’s asked her about the obvious shift in their dynamic.Everyone knows that Damon and Elena are inevitable. Everyone. They may not like it, but the only one living in denial about it is Elena - and to a lesser extent Damon because I think ( ... )

For the most part, she calls the shots, deciding both what they do and when it ends, because that’s the only way she can handle what they’re doing, what she’s allowed to happen here.

It amuses me that Elena would think that she’s calling the shots. Damon would let her call the shots because he’d know that she needs to. He’s a big ball of feels a lot of the time, but he knows Elena - knows and embraces the parts that Elena sometimes can’t embrace herself - so he’d know that she’d need time.

He may not like it, but he’d know.

P.S. I love how I’m saying all of this as if I know your fic better than you do. Jesus, I’m a bitch.

Some nights, he shows up with an attitude, or drunk, or both, and she's pretty sure he's been fighting with Stefan (but she never asks, nope).

Dude, I wouldn’t either.

Elena suspects some nights that might just be the part he likes the most, the part he craves - the silent aftermath, those long, lingering moments when they've parted but can't let go of each other.This is my other favorite part because imo, ( ... )
