So I noticed that one of my Bonnie/Damon (Bamon is a ridiculous ship name, I'm sorry to be so frank) fics (Us and Them, I think) was added to a C2 and I hadn't noticed before. So I wrote out a tiny little interpretation of their relationship, the theories I have about it transferred to a story of some sort. I haven't read the new books, I refuse to actually since it seems like everything I loved about the original series is being bastardized for the sake of more money, so this fic isn't influenced by those at all. But enough about that. The reason I ship Bonnie/Damon is because Bonnie is an amazing character who learns to be strong, and along that journey there is Damon who actually believes in her. Notice that? Damon actually takes the time to believe in and trust Bonnie, even when the rest of her friends don't.
Enjoy!
It was Damon who helped her with claiming her inheritance as a witch. She refused to take his money to get to Europe early on, but she gladly took the books and scrolls he sent to her in specially packed boxes. It was Damon who offered to help her translate some of the more ancient texts.
It was Damon who trusted her to know her limits while at the same time helping her to extend those limits. It was Damon who was not freaked out by the necessity of blood in some of her rituals, and it was Damon who understood that not all of that blood was hers to be ritualizing with. It was Damon who didn't judge her for her nature and her magic.
It was Damon who bought her to Europe for a year, to live in the various houses he owned around the continent, and it was Damon who bought her a car—a beautiful, thrumming machine—and taught her how to drive it. It was Damon who grinned wide and fierce when she cornered perfectly on his favorite switchback outside of Florence. It was Damon who laughed like a madman whenever she nearly wrecked it, promising with that laughter to save her and to buy her a new car if she ever did wreck it.
It was Damon who held her to keep her awake and calm on the nights when the film between worlds was thinnest during various parts of the year. It was Damon who checked on her from time to time during those days, his voice groggy on the cellphone as he tried to stay awake after sunrise. It was Damon who would shake her out of it the few times she was possessed by someone against her will.
It was Damon who let her live her life without telling her what to do with it. It was Damon who believed in her and trusted her, and when she was twenty three and Matt called up out of the blue to ask her out, it was Damon who answered the phone. He was just wiping his lower lip clean, his thumb stained crimson. It was Damon who put Bonnie into an early grave, and it was Damon who brought her out of it too a few days after her "funeral." It was Damon who taught her how to hunt, and it was Damon who chucked her chin up and smiled as he promised to always be there for her.
