Loved the one-shot its so sad, I really hope he doesn't go through with this cause I don't like the way they are throwing them apart, in the beginning it made sense cause she was afraid to get hurt and Stefan was her safe choice and Damon has the power to break her, which is what were seeing considering she wants to be complied to forget him. I think your theory is right that they have forgotten who they are considering the name of the episodes but I think Damon is still a vampire but who knows and hopefully in the next episode we get some answers. Your an amazing writer and this little storys are amazing to see from you :). Hope you have a good week and talk to you soon :).

I absolutely LOVED IT!
This was so tragically heart-breaking and beautiful at the same time.
For Elena to be in so much pain that she needs to be compelled for her to even be able to function as a person without the assistance of drugs because the loss of Damon (and Bonnie) is too much pain for her...i just can't!

Lovely well written one shot, even though it was super sad.

So I read this after reading Morvamp's story and it was great reading two possible directions that the show can take in the next episode. I am seriously very confused as to what will happen and cant seem to predict it at all :p

Coming to your fic, I loved the moment you chose. I have always said that the only reason why Elena chose Stefan in season 3 was out of her loyalty towards him. I loved how Elena says to Ric I break two hearts that night, it was so heartbreaking :'(

This was such a great one-shot, I'm really happy that you wrote it and shared it with us!

I never got an alert from FF that you had posted this. I think you did a very nice job with this but personally I'm disappointed that Elena would take such drastic measures. Sure she can get rid of his memory but the feelings will still be there. (per Jeremy 1x22) It's only been 4 months, not 40 months, not 4 years, not 4 decades, only 4 months yet she wants to erase Damon. That's sad to me.
Stalin used to have his real and perceived enemies killed and then erased from existence. He literally had them removed from photographs etc. as if they never existed. That's what this feels like to me. I know some people will love the storyline. We'll see. I guess if she's the one vampire in existence who can break a compulsion, then it would be okay in the long run. It would be a nice change to see Elena to do the heavy lifting for once.
Thanks Kate. Hope you feel inspiration again as the season progresses. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Carol

Well, this was painful, but of course so DE and we all know us DE fans have a bit of a problem (we like the pain lol) Also, I don't know if I am the best person to talk about what happen or what will happen since I haven't been watching TVD since episode 16 season 5 so I have no idea really how Damon and Bonie managed to get themselves "killed" and obviously I haven't been watching season 6 either. I am still debating whatever or not I want to watch it...

On the other hand, just the thought and what I have heard about what happened has given me inspiration and now I am about to start writing my own little story about Elena losing Damon and what she will do, though my story will not contain any deatails on how it happen or the first episode of season 6 (that's gonna be hard)

Anyways, to close up this very long review, you did a great job and I am really happy to have you back and writing, hope to read more fro you soon.

I love this! And I love how different it is from mine even more. It's funny how we both took the opposite direction with our one-shots. They should be read as a pair. ;)

But yes, loved the moment you picked for Elena to realize she fell in love with Damon. It makes so much sense and brought back so many feelings from that episode. It was so tragic and they've overcome so much as a couple. They deserve their happiness. Hopefully it comes to them soon.

Plus, You got both characters down perfectly. Elena's emotional was so raw and heartbreaking.

Great job, Kate. Hope the season brings more inspiration to you!

It's just me;) It's good to read your side of DE again. I've thought since the finale that they were stuck somewhere with no idea who they are or where they are from. I mean something is clearly up considering Damon is cooking fucking pancakes for Bonnie... The Damon I know would never do that, at least not for anyone but Elena. I'm looking forward to the time where Caroline & friends save Mystic Falls and everyone gets to come back and get this shit straightened out.

oh man why

Loved this! As alway!

Yeah, I think they are alive as well ... But with no memory - but there is something left - because Damon made a vampire on a pancake. So he knows he is a vampire - or something makes him think about vampires. Just a thought.

This was perfect! It seriously made me cry though! BUT BEAUTIFUL.

So many feels. I watched the episode about an hour ago. There is so much that can happen. I actually think Ric will compel her. I have a feeling Damon doesn't remember either. I'm not sure what is happening with Damon and Bonnie though. Not sure if they are still supernatural or human ... Absolutely now idea. Perhaps they will both not remember (even if the memories can be given back to Elena and Damon may somehow also remember) and they meet all over again and fall in love again...Maybe they will both become human too? If Damon now is then Elena may later too? She now hates being vampire without him. Thanks for this post. Hope to read more from you again from the TVD world.
