“all fires fail”

Prompt (from the lovely earnmysong): Elena Gilbert, Let's love and risk it all...even if it hurts just a little too much

A/N: Title from “The Sequel” by Theodore Roethke. Set immediately post-2.22.

( was the heart's core tractable? all waters waver, and all fires fail )

GUH! Just magnificent!

You capture Damon's complex nature so well. A gorgeous representation of their conflicted relationship. Well done.

Eee, you are a TVD fan, too! ::shameless fangirling everywhere::

Thank you so much! ♥

At first it was my guilty pleasure, but then it was so damn good that I now have no shame at all in admitting how damn much I love it!

I adore Damon and love how deliciously complicated and layered a character he is. *shivers*

I will more than happily read more TVD from you my dear! :D

Ugh, this show. I made so much fun of my roommate for watching it and then she made me actually watch it with her and then I had to eat my words a whole bunch. I've been a Damon!girl from the get-go-- he's just so layered and it's never certain what he's going to do, and I love that. :)

Aww, yay! Be certain that there will be more TVD from me soon, because I CANNOT SEEM TO STOP.

vie_dangerouse June 13 2011, 19:14:42 UTC

FFFFFFF-

I think we should just go ahead and crown you Queen of Damon/Elena Angst. Really. This would be a correct move.

Okay, favourite parts:

“What do you think happened to them?” she whispers. “The people in the painting.”

Damon spares the painting a glance, and then takes Elena by the shoulder. “They died.”

MY HEART JUST DIED, OKAY.

“I think it’s more of a Bonnie and Clyde thing.”

Um, this line fills me with glee for some reason. ~Fantasies I don't talk about, lol.

“Being with you makes me feel more alive, Elena.”

“Huh. Well, being with you makes me feel more dead. I guess it evens out.”

YES. YES. THAT IS A HOME RUN IF EVER THERE WAS ONE.

Lollll. The Queen of Angst moniker has been used before, so I'll be delighted to take the Damon/Elena jewel to add to my crown. ;)

YOU PICKED OUT ALL MY FAVORITE PARTS. It makes me so happy to know that people like my own personal favorite bits, and so ♥ ♥ for that. Also: Bonnie & Clyde. I am obsessed. (note rambling) It all started when a fellow Ruby!girl friend of mine made this Ruby/Crowley BFFs mix that was themed around Bonnie & Clyde (http://mad-teagirl.livejournal.com/3928.html), and then I saw the FILM, and aghhh. There is so much love for that.

YAY ON HOME RUNNING SINCE I WAS NEVER A SPORTY GIRL SO HERE IS MY CHANCE FINALLY.

Haha, Ruby/Crowley, now THERE'S a BFF pairing I didn't think of. *g*

vie_dangerouse June 14 2011, 03:58:57 UTC

I KNOW, BUT NOW THAT YOU THINK OF IT, IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, RIGHT?!?!!

This was great!!!! Really cool!

Love this:
Alaric, maybe, still extinguishing his own fire with accelerant; Caroline, who put out others’ fires while never tending to her own; or perhaps Katherine, the one who’d lit the match to begin with.

vie_dangerouse June 13 2011, 19:22:13 UTC

Ooh, thank you! And you picked out my other favorite line, yayyy! I just got really intrigued by the idea of fire in relation to all the characters. :)
