can it be next fall now?

I don't actually know where to put my thoughts on the finale. Based on the promo, I was preparing myself for this lackluster Damon-centric episode where he tries to force himself on Elena, again. [Remember the season opener?] But no, what we got was something very different, and something more bang, pop, wow! Instead of a laid back wind-down from the previous two episodes. And by "wow," I mean "ow," because, dude? That hurt.

( spoilers for season 2 finale )

WARNING: I do not go easy on Damon under the next cut:
( speculation for season 3, where I talk about kevin williamson - elena - and damon's possible redemption )

she offers her neck best. teeth tear her open, and she bites her own lip, sucking, drinking so she doesn’t say she loves him, she loves him, sheloveshim.

crumbling beauty (only gets worse); katherine
by holycitygirl; prompt - there's nothing wrong with her a hundred dollars won't fix
Humanity to her is the lingering touch of a bad dream, the vague recollection of a disconcerting race of the heart, a twisting pain in the gut. It is disappointment, and lack of control, and overwhelming weakness.

here where i was left alone; elena
by holycitygirl; prompt - there's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
She doesn't laugh because it isn't funny, but she does lean into the hand he places on her cheek.

our bridges don't burn to the ground; stefan
by holycitygirl; prompt - all the rooms, they smell like diesel, and you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept there
Klaus is quite disappointed. "Really, kiddies? Is this the best you can do?"

And this one, which is not my prompt, but which I loveee!

Elena watches the Mayor press the flesh, campaigning even as the others mourn, and she hates him so acutely, she feels her fists clenching, nails digging into her palms.

I need to read more of what's been written. I need to write (at all)!
