Fandom: The Vampire Diaries Relationships: Bonnie Bennett/Damon Salvatore, Caroline Forbes/Tyler Lockwood, Elena Gilbert/Stefan Salvatore -------------------------------------------------- It's been six years since Bonnie Bennett left Mystic Falls behind, but one urgent phone call from Elena sends her right back into the world she'd tried so desperately to leave behind. When she discovers half her friends missing, her only true ally remains Damon Salvatore, who has changed in a paranormal way she could never have imagined.
You need to read only 1-2 paragraphs and you know that the author of the fanfic has great writing skills. The story was carefully crafted - it is clear that the author must have put a lot of thoughts into plotting the whole story that is over 250 pages - it is moving in proper pace and the changing dynamics of the relationship is very believable, it has a lot of twists and candies, the heroes are faithful to their TV series counterparts, and I loved how the author portrayed Damon and then his relationship with Bonnies.
I adored how much the author focused on Damons humanity, internal struggles, his process of becoming a better man for the woman who he is in love. There are a lot of stories that put in front the bestiality or the demon in Damon, but in this story his shortcomings are put in light of mistake of a human. I loved how the author showed that his bad moves/decisions are carried in name of love, and that he is able to change after being confronted with his mistakes. That he is a man in the first place, a man who is evolving.
I was crazy about the parts when Bamon relationship was blooming and I was left with wanting more. -.- I must confess that the smut parts were also exceptionally written - they had different feeling in comparison to (usually fictional) smut in other stories that I have read.
On the other hand I wouldnt mind if certain parts of the story moved in quicker pace and I also expected a little bit more exciting final battle.
