lynzie914 with Bonnie/Damon angsty curtain fic in the not!timeline in early s6 (also, hi kids! ficathon!)title: at the door
summary: silly girl, what made you think the boy who doesn't care about anything would care about you?
**
coffee, pancakes, crossword, smirk.
coffee, pancakes, crossword, smirk.
welcome to the new normal.
she hates him, god she does. she hates every hug, every smile, every ache of home and sparkling moment of solidarity.
she hates the pancakes, the most though.
"pass the syrup, asshole."
tight smile, sparkly eyes, "my pleasure, princess."
one shove, syrup all over the table. The newspaper gets sticky.
**
stir-fry, orange juice, grimoire, smirk.
the days don't get any shorter.
he cooks for her and hardly eats a bite - doesn't bite anything. she tries not to stretch when her shoulders cramp, hair falling away from her throat and exposing her vulnerabilities. tries is maybe an exageration.
sometimes her yawns catch her off guard.
she doesn't talk about falling asleep in his lap. he doesn't, either.
**
shower, towel, bare-chest, smirk.
bastard.
**
chanting, stabbing, punching, grimace.
she thinks she might miss this.
she's horrified, actually.
**
coffee, pancakes, crossword, smirk.
square one, again.
she finds him crying over elena's journal, holds his hand.
it's at least ten minutes before he shoves her away.
**
stir-fry, orange juice, grimoire, smirk.
she finds one of jeremy's sweaters, throws up in the bathroom.
she finds her nose bleeding, after an hour of desperately whispered latin. he stays on the other side of the house.
**
shower, towel, bare-chest, smirk.
she throws his pants at him. he turns, bends and pulls them up.
bastard.
**
chanting, stabbing, punching, grimace.
they curl up on the couch and they don't talk. not a word. just sit and snuggle and pretend.
neither cry.

Date: 2015-01-03 12:11 am (UTC)this fic pretty much summed up what I hope happened/will happen in canon.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-03 12:16 am (UTC)every awful, tension-filled moment in that house at the start was absolutely killing me.
i want all of the self-taught domesticity, please and thank you
(i just wished i trusted the writers to give it to me unbutchered and with a side of ohmygodtheykilledbonnie! again. yawn)
so thank you thank you, i'm glad you're on board with me and this whole mess
no subject
Date: 2015-01-03 11:55 pm (UTC)ALSO, did you notice that, as of the most recent episode, she is so lonely that she has started talking to the sun? NOT TO MENTION setting the tree on fire, even though fire + magical environment = historically not a great idea.
Gosh, I think about this show too much sometimes.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-04 12:01 am (UTC)and they instantly fall into, as you say, self-taught domesticity.
He needs to bring her back so they can accidentally kiss, is what.
no subject
Date: 2015-01-05 08:27 pm (UTC)honestly, i am so fucking done with the writers at this point. they have so very much to work with, character-wise, actor-wise, FANBASE-wise, and yet here we fucking are, yelling at the sky.
i'll live in hope for that kiss, thoughno subject
Date: 2015-01-07 12:57 am (UTC)Also, she needs to come back so she can kill Kai.

Date: 2015-01-03 05:45 am (UTC)I love how it progresses and oh, the last part, its just a gut punch. Such a gut punch, because they were there and they were together and they hated each other and they didn't hate each other and things smoothed over and they didn't and then suddenly he wasn't there at all.
And I just--my insides hurt.
I love the little things too, like what they were eating and doing. And how she tries not bare her neck and how her nose bleeds and he stays on the other side of the house and how the things of the people they love make them cry. And she hold his hand and he lets her until he doesn't. And he's still cooking for her every day and every night.
And its all just so perfectly done. I love it!

Date: 2015-01-03 03:47 pm (UTC)i have SOSOSO many feelings about ridiculous domesticity with these two because they're so strong, they're so big, they're both just tiny little things that need to be smothered in blankets and hugs it is awful.
i'm so glad you liked it!!
*squishhhh*

Date: 2015-01-03 09:51 pm (UTC)I really love the rhythm you created. :)

Date: 2015-01-03 10:30 pm (UTC)i have very serious feelings about this whole domesticity thing. it's becoming a problem.
*squish*

Date: 2015-01-05 03:08 am (UTC)(I officially had to quit the show and I need everyone to make sure that I stick to it because it is too hard to watch...)And this is exactly what I was thinking during the entire Bonnie-Damon-pancakes debacle.
Bless you, basically.

Date: 2015-01-05 09:12 pm (UTC)(I officially had to quit the show and I need everyone to make sure that I stick to it because it is too hard to watch...)honestly this whole show is a mess and i've never stuck with anything that makes me so upset for so long before (even dw i took like a two year break from because it was hurting my sanity). this show is the worst and i want to punch the writers in their stupid faces and oh god there IS SO MUCH HERE, yet we're stuck with this endless martyrdom and unhappiness and general atrocities.
