This story was so beautiful. So heartbreaking and perfect. I haven't been reading a lot of fanfics since TVD ended but I'm really glad that I read this one.

This story is AMAZING. I loved every minute of it. Thank you for all the work you put into it!

Damn great job envoking emotion here! This was a really important chapter to just see exactly how these characters have been affected by each other’s absence!

This was such a wonderful story, I'm so sad it's finished - but - so glad for the happy ending.

This was really a beautiful story! Thank you

excellent beginning

Oh dear this story was beautiful and realistic. I loved it a lot but I was really mad at Elena for being ridiculously stubborn that she faced so much but then again she realised in her own way. I started reading this story pissed at Damon and then in the middle it shifted to Elena as how she reacted and handled many situations. This made me cry and smile as it was adorable yet harsh and one of my favourite Delena Story. Thanks for sharing your work.

This story is beyond amazing, just like all your other stories. I love it. It made me laugh, it made my cry, it tugged on my heartstrings, and it was simply beautiful to see Elena and Damon grow together.

Incredible chapter! The letters show her so much and it's too bad he didn't mail them but I understand why. Glad she is finding out what he was thinking, feeling and going through and that its filling missing pieces in her life. Love that she decided she had to go tell him right then. Love it! Anxious to see what happens now. Thanks for writing! Karen

Great chapter! Happy that things between them are getting easier and happen automatically. Glad Jeremy, Caroline and the rest of her family accepted him so easily. What a huge step with the letters and definitely a great step forward. Thanks for writing! Karen

Great chapter. Very sad memories of what happened. Glad he had been there for her even if she couldn't talk about it all. Glad they were able to talk now and without extra medicine. Love where things were going and glad they are getting so much closer. Suppose it is better if they wait but hoping it's not too long. Glad they both know how the other feels now. Thanks for writing! Karen

Great chapter. Love that he's enjoying running again. Cool how Izzy greeted him. Nice that he's Invited to the birthday party, hope he goes. My favorite movie! Love the spaghetti and movie night. Sad the memories that brought but glad they are talking about it. Hoping in the present he stays and he doesn't make them move too too slow. Thanks for writing! Karen

Great chapter! In the past so glad Damon tried to be patient and tell her his side and understand hers. Glad to know what they were both thinking in the present day. Glad Elena went to find her phone and Damon spoke up. Love that they are getting closer and shared more kisses. Cute how they went to sleep. Thanks for writing! Karen

Great chapter! Glad to know more details of their Christmas past and their discovery and that he'd wanted it all, sad that something happened at some point later though. Love their present day Christmas Eve visit to the tree and snow ball fun! Glad he worded that so she'd stay a while. Love how he ended up going back to his room without realizing it. Love his reaction to her tattoo. So happy he's trying to move forward and love the kiss. Hoping they can talk more now and they can keep each other happy and not let either try to run away from the future they both want. Thanks for writing! Anxious to read more. Karen

Love it! Love the fall at the store, the moments they shared, the dog tags and how he felt something. Love all the past and present with the dog tags! Love the flashback for their Christmas together. Liked Alaric's suggestion about a tree and his teasing when Elena came. Izzy is so cute. Love that Damon was thinking about their past and glad he decided he didn't want to be without her this Christmas. Sad about Alaric's mother, hoping she's ok. Thanks for writing! Anxious to read more. Karen
