This is for my lovelywonderfulbeautiful frend Willow Eldon, so Merry Christmas Willowbee, I hope you like it!

pairing: stefan/elena.


So maybe he's always thought himself

-s o u l l e s s-

.

but then, in a fleeting moment of time,

he realised;

{he's not as soulless as he once imagined}

& she's elena gilbert

all brightsmiles

and sparklingshinning eyes

& ohsocompletely out of your league

or that's what you thought

.

& then he's damon fucking salvatore

with the panty dropping smile

and the dangerous badboyvibes

and the goodgirls alwaysalwaysalways go for the badboys.

.

&finally, you're stefan goodboy salvatore

With your charming eyes

And dashing goodlooks

-but you're a goodboy

{(and maybe that's what got her in the first place})

.

-so she falls hardhardhard

for the goodgoodboy

and for once, living forever, doesn't seem so terrible

.

but then

katherine pierce

(whose tragically lovely and horrible)

comes home

in a flurry of hatred and love

&deathdeathdeath

.

-miss katherine

tears through mystic falls

like she's a werewolf

and hunts down elena because she wants

YOU

(it's always been you)

.

And poorpoor damon

whose so angryandsad

goes after the one person

who'll make everythingbetter

.

& FUCKFUCKFUCK

it's like 1864

all over again

and your brother is falling soveryhard

for your girlfriend

and everything is so fucked up again

.

then you're trapped

[caged in], {locked away}, (stuckstuckstuck)

with beautifullytragiclybroken

katherine pierce

and everything

~every single thing~

you've worked so hard to get

is fluttering away in the harshwinds

.

-so you should probably be

RAGING ANGRY MAD

that the love of your life

just sold her soul

to the devil

but you are FREE

and you can always find a way to help her

tomorrow

.

and you're happy

because damon

is happy

(for now)

because he's got his rose, and you've got your elena

(for now)

and things are just a little brighter

.

because tonight

it's just you and it's just her

against everything

&everyone

.

&you thank katherine pierce

for beingso selfish

and hateful

and for loving you

cause you have a happyeverafter

right here, right now

and you'll find a way

(YOU WILL)

to save elena

.

-it may take a few more vampires

&a bit more of damon

to fix all the cracks and holes of her life

but you'll get the life you've always wanted.

you will.
