Book!Elena is so fucking messy I love her
damon x elena fanfic (The Blizzard) - TVD BOOKS
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66551104
**This oneshot is based on the Vampire Diaries novels written originally by LJ Smith, and NOT the tv show. It is set during Shadow Souls (book 6) and is a slight canon divergence following Elena's public flagellation. Just a cutesy hurt/comfort oneshot**
desc:
“Turn your back towards me,” Elena commanded, brushing off his last comment like a piece of lint on her clothes, “And take this flask of Black Magic wine. It’s probably the closest thing to vampire anesthetic that exists.”
After the revelation that Damon had channelled all of the pain from her public discipline into his own body, Elena is more torn than ever over her relationship with Stefan. And with her 'beloved' trapped on the other side of the Dark Dimension, she's acutely aware of her most recent saviour suffering from her own punishment... sitting downstairs, so tantalisingly close at hand.
I thought Damon was in love with Bonnie. The books are going all over the place and I cann't follow it anymore
Stefan deserves so much more than Elena
The Dark Dimension being some weird Orientalist idea of "backwards" societies where the women veil and they don't use plates/forks and characters are named Lakshmi is really racist and uncomfortable. Like... Great that they're so against slavery and Damon is freeing all the slaves that he can. But also shows that the author thinks of slavery as a barbaric thing that happens in "exotic backward" countries. Rather than in our own US history.
L.J. Smith said sure Vampires can heal supernatural wounds by feeding victims their blood. But to heal regular wounds they have to use their mouths to direct Power into the wound and cleanse and heal it.
This is how we get both Damon cradling Bonnie and gently feed her from his wrist, AND Damon kneeling in front of Elena, licking her wounded cheek, her pulling his head to her collar bone.
