OK THIS IS GORGEOUS, and I was in love with it from the first line already, Damon kisses her like he means it. ALL THE FEELS, Rebekah is my girl and she is gorgeous here, with all her doubts and insecurities and ignoring them and surpassing them, just BEAUTIFUL. Just, the way she accepts whatever he is willing to give, so tragically beautiful, makes me want to hug her and scream at her that she should get everything she wants and not just settle for Missed you in my bed. but then she goes and messes with him as well and IT IS ALL SO PRETTY <333333

THANK YOU for filling this <33333

This is it exactly. I just want to squeeze her, I love her so much. And the idea that she's the tagalong, the second choice for everyone and JUST UGH. She makes me feel things. Some of the same things that Damon makes me feel sometimes, hence this. (And that desire to write this exact same story/relationship from his POV - because honestly.)

And this. I love that Rebekah's mean. It makes those vulnerable moments hurt that much more.

I'm so pleased that you liked this. Thank YOU for your comments. ♥

I understand your desire to write damon/rebekah from damon's pov too, and I'm sure that would be VERY interesting to read as well :) I mean, why does he do it? does he like her at all?

and YES, the Rebekah spending ETERNITY as the second choice, just, guh. IT CAUSES ME FEELS.

Whether they like each other or not (though I think they do, a little, grudgingly and against their better judgement), they get each other - and THAT is what I like so much. With Damon everyone would rather have Stefan, and when it comes to Rebekah it doesn't matter who they want except that it's not her and GUH.

I'd also really like to see what would happen if Damon and Rebekah were playing on the same team. Can you imagine the damage they could do if they put their minds to it? (Really though, this speaks to my wishes for the new season, and that would open a gigantic can of word vomit worms.)

Feel free to ignore my gushing.

I really enjoyed this, the big reveal at the start (Damon doesn't mean it, she's aware of it) and the rest of the story exploring all the layers of not-enough in their arrangement. I particularly loved how many levels of substitution there are, enough that she had to clear up a comment for him in the last scene. Ugh, these two. ♥

all the layers of not-enough in their arrangement

I love this phrase so much I cannot even express it in words.

But you hit it exactly: They are each substituting one another for someone else, and it's like the elephant in the room until that last bit.

Thank you for reading, my darling!

I'm excited to read your other stories as well! I've been watching the show since it started and everything, but for some reason I've only read fics on the AO3. Your lj is such an unexpected treat. :D

[nicalyse]

Your lj is such an unexpected treat.

No no, you have it all wrong. YOUR COMMENT is the unexpected treat, you sweet thing.

I have an AO3 account but have been dragging my heels on getting things archived there (as a backup, really). It's just a lot of work. :P

And if I hadn't already decided that you were wonderful (note: I have), you have icon perfection. ♥

This was fucking awesome. The end. Dead now.

Your comment made me laugh. Thank you. ♥

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely LOVED this story!!

[nicalyse]

Thank you so much!

Oh, I love this, especially that last part where Rebekah has to cut him deeper than he cuts her. Their relationship is so volatile here, but it's fitting, because I really can't imagine them as being anything serious--fuckbuddies who kind of have a hateful sort of 'relationship'.

Great job; thank you for sharing!

I know what you mean. There's always going to be something mean about their relationship. Weirdly, that's kind of what I like about it? That they would never, ever be the kind of pairing that you could write fluff about?

I'm so happy that you liked the story, and thank you for commenting!
