Damon Salvatore; Better Man. O/S post 3x21

[loveepiclove]

The weeks leading up to the finale are always distracting for me. I can never seem to keep my mind off what kind of cliffhanger I'll be left with for my favorite couple . This was just some soul soothing for myself, as I try to forget all the potential things I'm dreading in the finale. I don't believe anything in this O/S will actually occur, but

So...reading this made me feel like something was lodged in my throat. How do you do it!? Part of me really hopes this happens in the show, that Elena will choose Stefan now but in the end, it will be Damon that she really needs. This o/s was beautifully written and it made my day, particularly the last line. Elena may not realize that she wants Damon at the moment, but at the end of the day I think she needs him more than she ever needed Stefan. Whether it was needing someone to push the hate onto, or needing someone to take charge and make all the hard decisions, Damon rose to every occasion and always helped her out, even in S1 when he was supposedly in love with Katherine, he still compelled Jeremy for her.

anyways, can't wait to read more from you! :)

You know I started reading this about four times and everytime I lost it after two paragraphs, couldn´t see through tears. And this is the third time I clicked on the "leave comment" button before I composed myself enough to finish. Logically I have no idea why, because this has its happy ending and you don´t drag the angsty/sad part for too long. And it´s not decades until she sees Damon again and never even loses contact (or better possibility to reach him) with him. I guess the fear of the finale got the best of me and I´m finally going crazy. Anyway, I just had to get back and finish and I know I´ll be thinking of this OS for days, it´s heartbreaking but so beautiful. Liked your description her slowly remembering Damon´s compulsion, it was very natural. PERFECTION! Thank you!!

Wow. That was really lovely, Michelle. I mean it was really melancholy and sad and I absolutely do not want to see things play out that way, but it was beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love your writing. :)

Thank you.

"I absolutely do not want to see things play out that way."

I'm worried it'll be worse than this. *Hugs self*.

Thanks for reading, and for your comment <3

Oh I am too. But I don't want to see her get vamped so soon. I know I might be in the minority, but I want her to remain human at least another season, if not two. I will be so disappointed if that happens in 3.22 (or in 4.1) But hey, since when have the writers ever cared what *I* want, right? LOL
I could go on about what I think would make sense to see, but I suspect the comment forum of your story is not the right place to do this! :) Hope to chat with you again soon, Michelle.

*fingers and toes crossed that I won't be ticked off at TVD all summer*

Thanks again for sharing this with us!

LOL. Yes, we could probably have a comment-a-thon on this topic.

I will say briefly, however, that I absolutely do *not* want Elena to turn *yet*. I think it's on the cards though.

That was beautiful! I really don't want Damon to leave but I could see him doing it in order to save Elena from making a decision. Great turning point, with Elena remembering Damon's compulsion! Amy x

Thanks, Amy.

"I really don't want Damon to leave..."

I feel the same way. After the last episode though, I'm worried.

Thanks for reading, and for your comment <3
