It might not be what we originally had talked about,

BUT

It's amazing and so well done. I love the exploration of Elena's mind and thought process. How she sees what it all is and just moves forward, even if there are things she wants to say. Weaving everyone else in is so great too.

And then the end!!

Yay, congratulations. This is wonderful. I love all the little details about day-to-day living, or inability thereof in the earlier sections. It gives great texture to the story. Elena, Damon and Alaric are, of course, perfect. And what an ending.

Great stuff and dark too. I can't imagine what the aftermath might have been like.

Meredith is no fun at all, way too focused and composed for Elena's taste, tragically effective when she should know there's nothing she can do. Elena is dead, and she wants someone to acknowledge it. She feels like this should be a profound moment: there should be trumpets, or drums, or people wailing in the background; something significant and adequately melodramatic. Instead she smells some sickeningly sweet detergent, and loses her entire respect for death.
Yeeeessssssssss so good it huuuuurts. All the bitter pettiness and melodrama cravings, I love it I love it. And then she loses respect for death omfg somebody hold me pls.

But Meredith is already looking for the number on her own cell, and Elena is hit with sudden disappointment that no one even ran any tests; she's in the hospital, clearly undead, a medical mystery - surely there should be tests? There were a lot of tests the first time she went off that bridge, and maybe it was even Meredith who ran them, Elena isn't sure (she wasn't supposed to care about things like that ( ... )
