You're writing for TVD and (be still my heart) for my girl Katerina?!?!???
OMG! You and Katherine! How did I not know this?!!

So far, this is the closest I've come to writing Katherine for TVD. However, I have written her, I ADORED writing her, and the fruits of it are here, including waltzmatildah's spectacular companion fic.

I've missed sharing characters / a fandom with you!!! Excited over our mutual Katherine!ove!

Thank you <3

Holy shit, so this just made me cry. I'm actually here with tears streaming down my cheeks. I have never thought much of Mason Lockwood but in a matter of 700 words, you have turned me into such a fan.

Softly, “I could teach you to surf, if you wanted.”

He wishes he’d died surfing, free, himself,

And all the waves he ever surfed, and those he never got the chance to, swallow him

These three lines are such perfection and no one writes like you do. No one. In just three separate sentences, you have my heart breaking for him. How did you take a character with hardly any development at all and turn him into this amazing three-dimensional character that I just want to know more of? Thank you so much for writing this. I am adding it to my memories :)

Confession: me either, until I rewatched his episodes post-Chicago Fire obsession. When I (first) rewatched 2.06, I was . . . how were you not devastated by this the first time around?!!!

It's so great that I could convey to you what I was feeling.

Thank you so much!! I love that you read this, and I love that you love it so much <3

This is excellent! EXCELLENT! There is so little Mason fic in the world, and this is just gorgeous. The surfing analogy is just the best, as are the hints at his suspicion. Of course he was suspicious, he hid the moonstone in a vervain well. But that doesn't mean he didn't love her. So great. Thanks for sharing!

So I discovered! I was a little shocked, actually, not to say disappointed.

I am in no fit state to properly comment on this right now. I fear, if I tried, all you'd get is Damon!Rage!!!!!!

I will be back to do this properly once I've slept!

Okay. I'M BACK!

Where to start, where to start??!

So, while on the show, I really loved the character of Mason. I loved his relationship with Katherine and his connection with Tyler. But, I will admit that I was never overly invested in him. I've always been about Damon/Katherine [and I still am, I think... even though I don't actually watch the show anymore. It's probably the one storyline that could bring me back!]. BUT NOW, BUT NOWWWW I just want alllll the Katherine/Mason things in my life.

I BLAME KELLY SEVERIDE! And me for prompting them and you for filling it so incredibly with Could I Be Anything...

So, basically, this is the actual saddest thing.

And all the waves he ever surfed, and those he never got the chance to, swallow him - I love you too - into blue darkness falling. That, right there, is the saddest/best last line of a fic I have read in AGES. GAH ( ... )

I used to love Damon being an unapologetic asshole [and being written like one deliberately

Well, me too. And, first time around with 2.06, I was going through a brief but intense Damon phase, and I think I rationalized Mason's death as Damon "doing what he had to do" (IDEK - don't ask me to explain coherently, because I have no idea wtf I was thinking!!).

So, when I re-watched (and, yes, dammit, it is Kelly Severide's fault . . . and YOURS actually ;) ), I was confounded a) the sociopathic brutality; b) how incredibly sad Mason's death was and c) what the hell was wrong me the first time around that I didn't really see that.

And, honestly, I felt I owed Mason an apology - and this was it!

So, basically, this is the actual saddest thing.
Thank you. That was my reaction to the scene - I'm glad it came through here.

BUT NOW THIS JUST MAKES ME WANT TO SHOVE A VERVAINE SOAKED WOODEN STAKE THROUGH HIS EYEBALL.

AND TWIST IT.

MANY TIMES.

OH, YES! Well said. Totally in support of Damon!Rage.

I just want alllll the Katherine/Mason ( ... )

Oh wow. This is angsty and hurt filled and wonderful.

I love that you worked "Baby, I'd only rip your heart out" in there from Damon's mouth. BRAVO!

Everything's painful and nothing hurts.

I loved it!

Oh, I would love to take the credit - but Damon actually said this, verbatim, in the episode. The last thing he said before he . . . ripped Mason's heart out. Thank you for your appreciation, though <3

I discovered Mason!love via Kelly Severide, and I had to write fic for him - especially for this scene, which is so incredibly sad!

I love that you loved it. Thank you!

Hahaha, clearly Damon is reading your fic and changing his previous script on purpose. He saw my new rule!

This scene is the saddest. I am now hating on Damon in new and interesting ways (new for me, because usually I love Damon).

You are welcome - I am just glad that someone is writing alllll the fic!

Damon is reading your fic.
Well, then, let's hope he's taken waltzmatildah's suggestion about the vervain soaked stake and applied it on himself out of remorse. I mean, he'll heal, after all. Although, since he wouldn't even apologize properly, even when asked nicely over a glass of whisky. . . maybe not!

I usually like him too, which is what blinded me to this scene the first time around, I believe. So I'll hold that against him too ;)
