This life will be good and beautiful but not without heartbreak. In death comes peace, but pain is the cost of living. Like love, it's how we know we are alive.

“Why the hell call it warming if its gonna snow?” He questions with a look of confusion on his face that fades to seething annoyance. “Maybe you should be, you shouldn’t risk getting sick.” He turns walking backwards to face her as they walk before he stops in front of her, wrapping his arms around her, “I feel like saying no but then you’ll pout and then I’ll cave so I might as well just accept it. Make things easy on us both.”

“I’m not that kind of scientist, but I’m sure google can clear that up for you,” she said with an amused smile. “I don’t think I could even walk if I wore one more layer of clothes on.” Her smile widened when he wrapped his arms around him. “I never pout. If you’d rather we do something else, I’m all ears. You know, when this kid is born, he or she will probably want to come to these things whenever they get the choice.”

Silas turned to Elena and sighed, “Yes, yes. Magic is more of my thing but that won’t stop me from building a snowman or doing anything else.” he tilted his head and looked at her perplexed. Although he didn’t hold his opinion on her very high, he didn’t think she wasn’t capable. “You don’t look too happy.” he noted as he began to build the first part of the snowman. Well, he was rolling snow into a ball and that was more than enough.

“I’m just saying my particular set of skills won’t be of any help to you,” she told him with a shrug. “I don’t think it’s that difficult, though. You just make a small ball of snow and then... work on getting it bigger.” Jeremy and her had built a few once upon a time, but not since their parents had passed away. She barely remembered that time. “I’m happy. Why wouldn’t I be happy? I just... have a lot on my mind.”

symphonictim:

A soft smile formed on Timothy’s lips as he watched the snow fall lightly. He remembered the last time it snowed, he was about ten or so. After leaving practice with the orchestra group, he sat down at a bench and enjoyed the rare phenomenon. It gave him muse to play so he took his violin out of the case, the bow in hand and adjusted the instrument. A soft and peaceful symphony he played, closing his eyes and getting lost in the moment. After realizing he was playing at a public and perhaps a place where someone wanted complete silence, he looked to the other and apologized. “I’m sorry. I hope I wasn’t bothering you.” 

Much like Tim, Elena was staring at the sky in wonder. If there was one thing she hadn’t expected to find in New Orleans it was snow. The weather was painfully cold, but at least it looked pretty. The sound of the violin snapped her back to the reality, only to captivate her once more. He was good and everyone around seemed to think so as they crowed to watch him. Once he lowered his instrument, she shook her head at his concern. “I don’t think anyone’s bothered. You’re incredibly talented.”

the-witchdoctor:

Everyone was celebrating, except for Mila. She was preoccupied with things not as trivial as snow. Inadu was back and she seemed to be out for blood - literally. Even further, she had helped one of the people that Inadu seemed to be after. There was also the not so minor detail of the cult’s dishonesty to her regarding the discovery of her brother’s presence for the past six years. She stopped by one of the many booths at the carnival and helped herself to one of the cups after dropping a ten on the counter. “Please let there be booze in this…” she muttered.

For an event that was meant to be fun, people sure seemed kind of gloomy. Elena understood why, of course, with Inadu’s return, but part of her wondered why they hadn’t just stayed home instead of braving the cold and being forced to deal with oblivious humans. “If there is, you might want to pace yourself,” she said with a kind smile. “Or don’t, but getting drunk at a winter carnival might not be the best idea.”

Damon walked in the snow with his hands deep in his pockets, and his jacket zipped all the way up, coming from Virginia he was no stranger to snow but it felt different now being human. Colder and it wasn’t something he liked all that well, it reminded him of being dead, not undead but straight up dead. He shakes his head, knocking some of the white layer out of his dark hair. “Whatever happened to global warming?”

Elena chuckled, keeping her hands deep into the warmth of her pockets. “Damon, I think this is due to global warming,” she told him. “I feel like I should be wearing another layer. This weather is dreadful. Did you want to visit the carnaval?”

witchysilas:

Silas stuck his tongue out to catch a snowflake. He had seen snow in his visions but he had never actually been in it. Needless to say, he was acting like a five year old man. He was wearing more layers than need be considering Amara was still concerned about his health and wanted him to bundle up. Although he could barely move his arms, he was happy. “So, how do you build a snowman?” 

Elena observed Silas from a safe distance, never sure if or when he would decide he’d had enough of her face and get rid of it permanently. It took her no time at all, however, to notice he didn’t seem to be in very good shape. He looked so unwell, actually, that she felt safe to approach. “I think the kids over there might be more help, honestly. Medicine is more my speed.”

“Sure staying around the vampire who magically gave birth to two magic siphoning mini witches that aren’t actually hers, a powerful witch, a werewolf, a human who actually was always human and a few ex-vampires, that’s never gonna be weird. Totally capable of being normal.” He nods, feeling nothing but doubt. “There’s a bunch of crap going down in this city, you’re human, you’re a doppelganger, you’re in danger even if something isn’t personally going after you, hell I’m in danger just as much because well I’m not everyone’s cup tea.” He rubs his face wishing now that he hadn’t gotten as drunk as he had the night before. “And in the Damon fashion I ruined it.” He replies with a nod, of course, it was the natural thing for him. “Jesus Elena if I knew…” He would have done a lot more to keep her from that party if was being honest but at least they wouldn’t be fighting. “So this-this is happening?” He gestures with the pregnancy test still in his hand, “Parents and the whole nine yards? I’ll-I’ll clean up my act, we’ll I don’t know buy some books. Right?” He smirks, though also felt a icy block in the pit of his stomach. He steps closer to her, “I know I screwed up, again, I do that and I’m sorry. I’m gonna get my shit together though, for you, for our kid.”

“I meant normal by our standards, Damon. I know that there’s very little normalcy left in our life. Still, keeping the people we know around us is bringing some sense of familiarity. At least it is for me. I’m far away from home, in this city that might just be more dangerous than Mystic Falls and having them around is somewhat comforting. No matter how unusual they are.” Elena said, out of breath by the time she stopped rambling. He wasn’t as sentimental as she was, friends and family might not be enough to keep him sane. “I’m not everyone’s cup of tea either, but that doesn’t mean I want to be a vampire again. This city is crawling with human who are perfectly content with being just that, if they can make it I don’t see why we couldn’t.” Shrugging slightly, she looked down at the test. She was excited at first, but she still had some doubts. Damon wasn’t in the best of shapes and it was admittedly a dangerous world to bring children into. “Are you going to stop drinking so much? Because you know you can’t go on weekend benders when you have a baby, right? I don’t think I can or want to do it without you, regardless.”

“We were almost friends, at one point,” Katherine pointed out with an innocent smile. She leaned against the wall and shrugged. “I mean, come on. Kai of all people put you in one hell of a sleeping curse and yet, you manage to come out of it. How does Elena Gilbert do it?” 

“Oh, please. We were never friends, you don’t have friends.” Elena argued with an annoyed sigh. “Elena Gilbert had the right people around. That’s the difference between you and I. When I die, people actually want me back.”

disorderlydamon:

Dramatic fit Damon perfectly and he knew it, he also knew that he wasn’t likely to ever calm down with the dramatic flare. “No instead we moved to Vampireville USA and I have to worry, constantly. About you, about myself, what am I suppose to do if something happens to either one of us? Huh?” He wasn’t trained to help anyone medically, he could fight sure but he knew his odds against a vampire while human. And he could shoot a gun, crossbow, whatever but he couldn’t always have one with him. “And you pick the most dangerous place to go with your history of parties.” He shakes his head, she was so happy to be human it was like for forgot everything about being supernatural. He frowns looking at the wrapped gift she threw down and snatches up, “Right, god forbid we don’t exchange gifts in public.” He mutters ripping the paper off and holding the test in his hand with a questioning look. “Shit.” Not that she was pregnant but the fact that he had messed up even worse than he even knew. He didn’t just ditch Elena at a party he wasn’t interested in showing up at, he left her and now their baby in danger. “I didn’t know…”

“We moved here because all our friends are here and I thought we could carry on semi-normally if we stuck with them. I didn’t consider the fact that this is apparently a supernatural hotspot,” she admitted with a defeated shrug. “You don’t need to protect me from anything, no one’s after me. Nothing’s going to happen to us, that’s just your paranoia talking.” He wasn’t wrong about the party, Elena did have a terrible track record when it came to theme parties. Something had gone wrong at every single one she attended. “I wanted it to be special,” she told him defensively, upset that she had to explain herself to him on this. It was supposed to be a special moment and now it was ruined. “Of course you didn’t know! I wanted it to be a surprise and you didn’t even bother showing up.”

“What’s that you guys call it nowadays–’roasting’? It’s a joke, take it, move on,” Katherine rolled her eyes and sighed. “So, humor me, catch me up. How’d you wind up going from sleeping beauty to awakened? More importantly: how the hell did you manage to get the cure? I thought that was a one time thing–on me?” 

“Friends joke, friends roast each other. We’re not friends, Katherine.” Elena eyed her suspiciously, knowing she wouldn’t inquire about her personal life like this if she weren’t getting something out of it. “Why do you want to know?”

[sclflxss]

disorderlydamon:

“Who says? I’m not as graceful or have a fraction of the endurance.” He points out with a wave of his arm, Damon meant what he said before he got the cure, he’d take it, risk everything just to live a human life with Elena because he knew that her having a family meant everything to her, that she didn’t feel right as a vampire. He was willing to face the ups and downs, only he hadn’t expected just so many downs. “Oh you don’t have to remind me of that Sweetheart, I walk outside and everything I see reminds me just how easy I am to kill now.” Not to mention just how easy it was for someone to kill her and him not being able to do a darn near close enough job to protect her. He closes his eyes as the bottle cracks into the other in the trash and he knew she was right, this was his choice and it wasn’t fair to put it on her, he hadn’t tried to. “I’m not punishing you, I just didn’t want to go to some stupid dance, I lived the twenties! I don’t need a reminder, not that old yet.” What being human felt like was just the opposite of what being a vampire felt like, he used to feel everything so strongly, now it felt like nothing, emotions just felt hallow, he felt empty. There was no winning, he felt crappy as a vampire but he feels worse now, at least as a vampire he had some control, some power to do something.

“Oh, please, now you’re just reaching. Your dancing skills haven’t been affected.” Elena rolled her eyes, dismissing his worries with a wave of her hand. She understood why he was upset, but it was a little out of her hands. She couldn’t turn him back into a vampire and, selfishly, she didn’t want him to be a vampire. Growing old with an immortal being sounded odd, to say the least. Not to mention it would be even more inconvenient with what she knew now. “Don’t sweetheart me, you ass. You’ve been human for awhile now and no one has even attempted to kill you. It’s not like anyone’s out to get us anymore. I don’t care how many decades you’ve lived through, I was looking forward to spending time with you and having fun for once.” She looked through her bag, looking for the stupid pregnancy test in her bag that was wrapped in cheesy Christmas paper. “I was also going to give you this.”

“Well it’s good to see you anyways.” Caroline shrugged a shoulder as she wrapped her arms around Elena in an embrace. “Don’t even get me started.” She let an annoyed huff out as she shook her head, “The entire kitchen, that I had just decorated and bought new appliances for was burned by the time I got home from an hour appointment. I thought he knew how to cook.” She crossed her arms, done with her little rant. “But how are you, and Damon?”

“Right back at you, Care.” Elena said, squeezing her friend back momentarily before letting go. “Maybe he got distracted by something, which is slightly worrying since he was looking after your kids.” Her tone was light, she wasn’t worried about the kids fate when they were under Alaric’s care. He’d basically raised her and Jeremy after Jenna died. He was a good man and an even better father. “We’re okay. I don’t know, he’s not really enjoying the human life. He’s been drinking a lot and lashing out.”

“To, Elena ( @sclflxss )

We might not be everlasting but at least this rose and our love is even when I’m a huge dick. Merry Christmas.”

Love always,

mattyblce:

Damon was right and Matt would never admit it. There was things here that he wouldn’t be able to change, not that he was looking to change everything. But one thing he wanted to change, was Claire’s future. But the moment he was served with papers, he knew he was fighting a loosing battle at this moment. And he was way too stubborn to ask for help. He wasn’t in the best of moods but decided to take Claire to the park, spend his last day with her on a happy note. Taking a breath, his bad mood diminished the second he saw Claire stand up and start to walk. A smile graced his features as he knelt down, “Come here, Claire.” He held his arms open for her, catching her gaze. A giggle left the little girl as she started to make her way over to him, “Hey,” Wrapping his arms around her once she got to him, Matt placed a kiss to her cheek. “Let’s see if you can do it again.” Stepping back from her, he allowed her some space to walk again.

Elena smiled fondly as she watched Claire take a few wobbly steps, the sight hitting very close to home right now. “You’re so good with her,” she said thoughtfully, sitting back as Matt attempted to coax the little girl into walking again. “I always knew you would make a good father.”

“-No, girls I’ll be home shortly. I’m just finishing up my errands. Don’t let your dad in the kitchen, I just remodeled it from the last time.” Caroline listened as Lizzie and Josie yelled for him to get out of the kitchen, “Okay guys I’ll see you in a bit. I love you.” With a sigh, Caroline hung the phone up and stopped in front of a large building with a ‘for lease’ sign up. Feeling another beside her, she jumped at the sudden company as she took a step to the side, “Were you there the whole time?”

“Yeah, afraid I was,” Elena laughed, moving closer to her friend and giving her a quick hug. “Trying to keep Alaric out of the kitchen, huh? What’d he do, burn down the kitchen while stress cooking?”

queenkatcrina:

Katherine’s eyes narrowed at the girl. Every time they met up, it was the constant bickering, the back and forth snark, the fighting. It was getting old, but, she held a grudge that she just couldn’t let go. “Easy, little Elena. Word on the street says you’re human again and I, can rip your throat out for both Salvatores to see. So let’s try to be civil, shall we? I’ll play nice if you’ll play nice,” She responded, tossing her dark tresses over her shoulder. 

“You’re the one who walked up to me and started insulting me, Katherine. But if you want to play nice, then by all means...” Elena doubt it was even in her nature to be kind and seeing her try might be more amusing than this bickering bit they had going on.
