Ack! You wrote this so fast. And it's so good! The perfect coda to the episode.

“We'll figure out who you are.” BEST LINE!
Wow. Seriously, that was...something else. FANTASTIC, GREAT, AMAZING! Take your pick because this fic is all of them.
I really loved the way you made Elena stop him from leaving, I was begging for her to do it in the show. I understand she has to process everything, but I would NEVER let him walk away after such an epic kiss :P
Great ending too, very believable in their shyness, but the fact that she still wants him around, with no regrets, is the most important thing.

*flails*

I should have gone to bed, but no, I had to come read this because AO3 told me it was up.

Excuse me while I swoon:
“I would do anything for you,” Damon confesses as if Elena has not known this for months, has not found herself losing sleep over it. “I've never loved anyone the way I love you.”

++

“I never imagined it would be like this,” Elena says after a moment.

Damon is quiet for an indeterminably long time before venturing, “I know that, if Klaus had never forced Stefan - “

“No,” she interrupts, “I mean...I just always figured it would happen in your room or my room or....Some place not public.”

“Oh.”

And then the LOLs, because it is Damon, of all people:
“Am I the drunk uncle?”

I will never get tired of them. (or you writing them, for that matter.) D&E 4VR!
