ELENA GILBERT & BONNIE BENNETT THE VAMPIRE DIARIES | 1.01

[cancerian-woman]

Care to share any Bonnie/Elena headcanons? I just love them both so much and your thoughts are always so good and well constructed <3

That’s so nice aww!

Elena:

She doesn’t have a huge passion for medicine but chose that field to feel closer to her father.

After Jeremy’s death(shoulda been permanent but..)she takes up hunting as a vampire to be more secure in protecting herself. Elena says she doesn’t want to be saved or helped a lot. But is rarely in a position that requires her NOT to be the damsel in distress.

After being in a magical coma for several years I think she’d be single for some time. Re-adjust and learn life.

That being said I could see her going into a journalism route.

Bonnie:

Has a complicated view with the Bennett witches. She loves them as family but they all did abandon her. I think in an opportunity to see them again she’d call them out for their faults. While still praising her own heritage.

I think she’d take a liking to learning more about being a herbalist. Abby did drug her twice using herbs/magic.

Bonnie would enjoy a career where she can be helpful to anyone. Social work/hospitality field some examples.

I don’t think Bonnie would revive Enzo. I don’t say that because I think BE has problems or the throwing them together last minute thing either! I think after what happened reviving Jeremy aka the cheating thing/seeing past gfs/dying herself. She’d more cautious to bring someone back in general.

Bonlena as a couple:

I can see it happening a decade post the finale in a world where both Salvatore’s are dead. They’d have more than enough time to work on themselves first.

Thank you for the ask!

I know I am not the only one who dislikes Bonnie's canon relationships, and I wanted to make a space for us that see her as more than what she was given.

Our girl is just as desirable and deserving of a romance as the rest. It's unfair how she's the only one boxed in due to moral policing.

Rarepair for this event is a ship with less than 150 completed works, with main focus on the Bonnie ship. (Honestly, this is a casual event, so if you’re doing the bigger Bonnie ships, I'm not gonna stop you, but the focus is on the rarepairs - the rarer, the better.)

Crossovers, polyamory, OCs, LGBTQ+ are all welcome.

I’ll be reblogging folks work until the end of August, so if you’re late, no worries, still bring what you have when you can.

Please tag appropriately, even if that means you’re simply stating you’re not going to tag anything. (This is mainly for fic writers.)

Use #bbrarepairbash2024 so others can find your work. Tag me @/hollowed-hallowed and/or @/bbtvducollection, so I can make sure I reblog your creations. If there’s enough interest, I’ll start a collection on AO3.

Drop me a message or ask if you have any questions. I’ll see you all in July!

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES S06E20 - I’d Leave My Happy Home For You

[bonniesjosie]

#married

[talulajones-stories]

"Does she always smell like that?"

Elena's boots muddy in the melting snow, following Stefan, waiting for the back of his head to respond. She tramples behind him in the woods, inhaling the scent of winter birthing into spring, its first breath.

"Who?" he asks, absently.

His focus is distracted, concerned on finding her something suitable to eat, something that won’t send her spiraling into guilt and depression if she happens to take too much or, worse, end its life.

He’d already expressed, with the calm authority of someone who’d been through this before, that avoiding the pitfalls of being a vampire was all about control.

Control, and learning to love the taste of animal blood.

"You know who," Elena snaps, pulling off her knit cap, raking her fingers through her hair. She’s starving, and he’s hiding things, and she won’t move another step until he answers honestly.

Wind whips her face, biting at her cheeks, carrying distant human noises, miles away—static that Stefan said she would eventually pick apart, distinguishing each sound clearly. But for now, it's overwhelming, like trying to tune a radio flooded with stations bleeding through, until they all come together in one crackling voice, telling her...’you need blood’.

He stops and exhales sharply. Then, softly, gravely—

"She is another lesson in control."

His voice dips lower, like he’s revealing something he shouldn’t.

"Being around Bonnie is… hard."

The moment he says her name, she smells her.

The sage she’s always burning. The orange-scented shampoo she’s used since the sixth grade. The cocoa butter she smooths over her skin. And the magic—sharp as struck matches—blending with something new, something she had never smelled on Bonnie before she became a predator.

Her sweat. Her pheromones. The heat of her pulse beneath it all. All human. All Bonnie.

Sunlight glints off the brass on her middle finger, her daylight ring, the simple band enchanted allowing her to walk in the sun, the ring Bonnie made for her and dropped off last night.

They hadn’t wanted Bonnie near her yet.

"Now’s not a good time," Stefan had said when Bonnie showed up at their doorstep. "She hasn’t learned how to handle the craving."

 "She’s a newbie," Damon had added, and Elena had imagined him leaning lazily against the doorframe. "And newbies can be… unpredictable."

“I want to give it to her.” Bonnie had insisted.

Elena heard her push past them at the door, and by god, as soon as she did, it was as if the earth tilted, like when she was little and would spin around in the yard with her eyes closed, only to suddenly stop and open them and find the world still spinning without her. 

She heard her hurried footsteps on the stairs. And in that dizzying and, excruciating moment, the last of her human instinct told her to lock the door—to keep Bonnie, of all people, out.

And she did.

Forcing herself to stay on the other side, while Bonnie’s heart rang closer to her with each step.  

“Elena?”

Bonnie was worried.

It had been three days since they pulled her from the falls. Three days of living with the only two people who could teach her what she was now—her boyfriend and his brother.

Everyone had come to see her. Caroline. Tyler. Even Jeremy. Stefan had stayed in the room during that visit, and afterward, he explained why—because the bloodlust could overtake even the closest bonds.

But she never felt even a twinge with Caroline or Tyler. And with her brother, it was there—a presence, a faint pull—but nothing she couldn't observe, nothing she couldn't control. Stefan had been teaching her to recognize it.

But this? This was nothing like that.

Was it because Bonnie was human? Because she wasn’t family?

Or was it because she was a witch.

Elena pressed her nose to the crack in the door, wanting to see her. To remind herself she was more than whatever this was, while also fighting the disorienting need to consume her.

She told her to slide the ring other the door.

Elena fiddles with her ring. “You all feel this way? Even Caroline?” Her voice breaks, “Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

Her handsome boyfriend rubs at his square jaw, eyes dropping as if searching for the right words. “It’s not exactly something humans can understand. We didn’t want to alarm Bonnie, and we didn’t want you to be—”

“Confused?” she cuts him off.

Because that’s what she feels—turned inside out, upside down, the wrong color entirely. This unsettling desire, this hunger for blood. For Bonnie’s blood. And now, she thinks of all the times Bonnie walked into a room, of the restraint it must have taken for Stefan and Damon to sit there, mastering urges that had always been part of their nature.

Now, it makes sense. Why Caroline always had an excuse. Why she could never stay for their sleepovers.

Stefan gives her a weak smile. “Scared for your friend.”

And if she had known, really known, that this is what they felt when Bonnie was around, she would have been fucking terrified.

But now, it was their secret. And it was hers too—the responsibility of not eating Bonnie.

Bonnie, who didn’t know.

They keep walking. She follows him in silence, matching his pace, until suddenly he stops short. She nearly crashes into him.

He catches her by the arm, pulling her to his side. “See? Look there,” he whispers, his warm breath at her neck.

It’s just breath, just a whisper—but her body reacts like it’s more. Every nerve lights up, skin prickling, the sensation sinking deep, pooling between her thighs. She wants to lean into it, but their relationship has been awkward since she died and came back.

There’s a swoosh—a rush of air, the shift of space itself—Stefan moving.

He has the vamp speed down. She’s still slow.

She follows just in time to see him snatch the deer mid-flight—one moment it’s leaping, the next, he’s on it.

By the time she reaches him, he’s holding the poor thing down. It thrashes, whimpers, legs kicking against the snow.

“Do it, Elena.”

And she does.

Her teeth sink in, and the deer’s blood gushes into her mouth—hot, thin, alive. And it’s... it’s nothing like how she imagined her first time.

Silas needs to fuck off to somewhere else. I need to make Amara & Qetsiyah the origin of the Bennett-Petrova doomed love cycle.

[cancerian-woman]

it’s interesting how Abby and Isobel never met but both abandoned their daughters for something “easier/enjoyable” than being with them.

[chenfordswopez]

Carolena were frenemies in s1-4, NOT best friends. They mostly tolerated each other for Bonnie (who is Elena and Caroline's best friend).

Bonlena & Baroline were best friends, and Bonnie was glue keeping Elena and Caroline together. Did Carolena have some touchy feely moments alone? Yes, but that’s the friend in frenemies talking.

I will never forgive the writers for sidelining both those dynamics in the later seasons, and putting Carolena on the spotlight while pushing Bonnie aside like she doesn’t exist.
