Why this must be read: Whenever I'm talking to someone who doesn't think Elena is a layered character or a complex protagonist, I send them directly to this fic.ever_neutral's Elena is bleaker than most, but she carries a steely resolve and determination. The story is sharp and cutting and so true to the darkness inherent in the show. I love the self-awareness Elena has, so aware that her face is not her own, that the adoration she receives from the Salvatores has more to do with that face than it does with her.
Excerpt
1. She was, of course, the apple of her parents' eye.
But don't take that too seriously. It's not like she never:
messed around,
broke rules,
ditched chores,
bitched out her brother,
mouthed off--
--or made out with strange boys at Caroline's drunken behest.
(Elena Gilbert has always been perfectly ordinary; this is the necessary punchline to this grand cosmic joke.)
