I'm sorry this isn't a new chapter just yet. I do have more to post soon and my story is far from done. But there definitely is more angst coming and more our heroes have to face before its all better. It will be so worth it I promise you. I have lots of great ideas for the coming chapters.
But with the finale on last night I have not been able to stop thinking of it and I have a question for you.
There were lots that was done so beautifully. Stefan dying was the perfect ending as heartbreaking as that was. Seeing him begging Damon to let him do it and the power of that scene was incredible. I screamed when I heard Damon say "But you are still human." And I just knew he was going to compel him. I knew that Stefan met Elena in the school later from previews so my heart was in my throat that Damon was truly the death at the end. But I refused to believe it could end so terribly.
So seeing that Stefan was on vervain and that he gave Damon the cure I was so excited and longing so deeply for the Delena reunion. Elena's scenes saying goodbye to Stefan were so achingly sad. I cried then already seeing him saying goodbye to her. But knowing Damon was alive and they would have their reunion I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for that moment. Stefan finally getting to be with his best friend after everything was the perfect ending for him too.
But he wasn't there when she woke up, which to me was the first wrong thing. But he was saying goodbye to his brother and had a beautiful moment with Caroline so I understood that. Those two have bonded with their pain of losing both Liz and now Stefan.
But I don't know about you but I was left with feeling so blah about Delena's reunion. That was hardly a kiss. I expected like breathy moans and spinning her around and saying I can't believe you are here. I'm waited so long to be in your arms. I don't know just... more. It felt so anticlimactic after how powerful the episode was.
Seeing all the people, ghosts watching everyone was so sweet, Jo and Tyler and Grams helping. Jer back to help run the school was so cool. Klaus' letter and the hint of hope there was so exciting. Bon being brave and taking on the world and doing what she and Enzo dreamed to do. But I was so sad that they did not any kind of happy ending and that felt wrong too.
Damon and Elena got their happy ending but we didn't get to see any of it and that sucked. I would have loved to see them get married, know if they had kids, what Damon did as a human. Watched pieces of their lives even in short pieces as they grew older. It felt so rushed and so forced.
So since last night I have had the massive urge to write a better ending. Just a one shot and probably pretty long but more depth and what we as the fans wanted to see. So I am asking you my readers what you think of me doing that and what you would like to have seen or how you felt the ending went for you. Were you happy with it? What could have been done better and how would have liked to see it done?
I will for sure finish my series here yet but I just feel I want to write an ending more the way it should have gone, especially for Delena. What do you think? Could you let me know what you would have liked to see? If you have ideas you want me to add please let me know asap. I have lots of ideas myself and can't say I'll incorporate everything people suggest but I just felt the ending needed more. Much more closure for all of us that have loved these amazing people for 8 years or more.
I can't believe its over and that in itself is sad. The show had everything. Romance, intrigue, action, thrills, terror, bad guys you loves to hate and bad guys you grew to love. The long delicious slow burn of the main couple, heart aches and pain and joys and family and brotherhood. And now sadly it can only live on in fan fiction so we as readers and authors can still dream of, read or write these characters how we want to. If you read this author's note till the end thank you. And please send you any requests by review on what you would love to have seen be different in the ending. Love and hugs.
