Why this must be read:

This is not a ship I would ever seek out, nor one that I'd ever really considered in all seriousness, but this story is brilliant enough to make me think that this might a massive oversight on my part. I read it because I was so starved for Bonnie-fic that I would read anything and this story delivers. It's almost eerie the way Bonnie & Stefan seem to be pulled together, years after Elena has moved on to her human life. It connects them as two supernatural beings, two people who can't move on or escape the darkness of the world around them. Beautiful, almost lyrical writing.

An Excerpt:

Bonnie thinks good evil, black white, but knows it doesn't work like that. Wishes it really could be that simple. That clean. This is you and this is me and I am right and you are wrong and that is that.

Stefan knows the feeling.
