Oh Mattie, in with her in the shower, washing her hair because she cam"t stand water anymore. God that killed like no other. I love how Elena keeps remembering what her parents had said about her friends. And I think the analyisis of Caroline as Grace Kelly is spot on and poinignat. Ignore my awful phone spelling.

I wish we could see more of Grayson with the kids. I have this feeling all of them have ended up in his doctors office at least once.
Once again such a great job writing

I feel like I cannot rest until there is some sort of flashback with Grayson and the kids. It is officially becoming an obsession.

Thank you! I'm mildly obsessed with pre-series fic, so I tend to write a lot of it and try to convert people to my ways.

OMG. You can't resist a ficathon can you? I'm glad you can't!

You did WAY more justice to Bonnie than TVD writers. I love your Bonnie and your Matt. I tend to forget about him, but his life sucks in a mayor way... and then to be dumped :(

Tyler surprised me here! It's too bad we never get to see a side like this to him in TVD.

because Matt had come over earlier, had stood with her beneath the spray as she sobbed, carefully protecting her face from the water as he worked the shampoo through her hair, He would.

all Elena can think about is how her father used to say Caroline reminded him of an old Hollywood movie star, like Grace Kelly. Me too! Accola has a rare classic beauty *not jalous at all

You can't resist a ficathon can you?

I tell myself every time that I'm only going to respond to, like, 3 prompts maximum and then it just runs away from me! Despite how much I write, I usually have a tough time getting started, hence why I love the prompts.

I really need Elena to have some sort of breakdown. I refuse to believe that anyone is that well-adjusted.

Rec away! I'm always happy to be recced!

[brightstarmara]

Please don't stop though! Have you ever thought of prompttables? Like at drabble123? I think you would love that. You wouldn't have any more time to sleep, eat or anything else, but hey...

I don't think Elena is fine. I know the show portrays her as that. But look at the choices she's made untill now! She's dating a dead guy. She was going to let herself be killed in stead of fighting tooth and nail! I don't think having no response other than going for a walk is well adjusted. She's ignoring all her feelings, probably because all of the drama that has been going on. Something tells me that once she realises she's no longer the centre of the universe, things will slow down for her and she'll realise that she's lost everything.

Are you still immobilized with your leg?

[lit_chick08]

Yeah, I started looking around for prompt tables just to get me started. I've had a couple of fics going for awhile that just haven't gotten polished/posted, plus I'm finishing up my big_bang fic, so I'm hopin after that I'll be able to get everything where it needs to be.

No, my leg is finally recovered, but the grant which paid for my job wasn't renewed, so I'm currently job hunting/sitting around with a lot of time on my hands.

THIS IS STUNNING

I WANT TO QUOTE THE ENTIRE THING BACK TO YOU

she hears the edge of hysteria in her voice as she orders Jeremy to buckle up. Matt helps her fasten herself in, and she instantly sags against his body, grateful for the way he holds her against him.

Ugh, I am filled with Matt/Elena feelings and also the desire to hold Elena in my arms and protect her from the world. Also love that you have Tyler avoiding the bridges for her, without needing to be asked or told. He just knows that he needs to.

She can barely stand the sound of water in the shower; it makes her chest tight and her breathing short. The only reason she had been able to shower for the funeral was because Matt had come over earlier, had stood with her beneath the spray as she sobbed, carefully protecting her face from the water as he worked the shampoo through her hair, as he washed away a week's worth of fear and guilt from her skin.MATT/ELENA FEEEEEELINGS EVERYWHERE. Oh, Matt, he would so do that. I love that it draws such a comfortable relationship,

[total_fangirl]

I have all these Matt and Elena feelings which snuck up on me while rewatching Season 1 and I now feel the need to share them with everyone. Poor, sad Matt...

I'm really interested in finding out how Jeremy came to be such a drug user/dealer in the 3 months between when their parents died and when the show started. It was such a fast descent, there has to be a story there.

I'm really glad you liked it.

[bambiscott]

Oh just so great. They way you almost made it as if it were just best friends on a lazy day in the summer but then to make it so poetic with the death and greif such balance. Love it.

Also enjoyed that Tyler started Jere's downfall lol

And forwood bit was fun.
