Leaving this here for motivation to write moar Damon/Alaric.



Five things Alaric hates about working with Damon and one he thinks isn't so bad.
1. He wonders when he'll stop tasting bile on the back of his tongue when he hears the sharp, brittle sound of bones breaking. The way their bodies sag lifelessly when Damon snaps their necks.

2. He's like a small child, all ADHD and having to put his hands on everything. Alaric cringes every time Damon picks up one of his old, fragile history texts and Damon just smirks knowingly and thumbs through the pages. He always puts them back exactly where he found them though.

3. He smells like a distillery. Alaric gets tipsy just sitting inside a closed car with him.

4. Vampire or not, he's always eating. A french fry, a chicken leg, a grape tootsie pop. It shouldn't surprise him Damon Salvatore has an oral fixation. Its fucking distracting.

5. There was that one time a vamp got the slip on him, had Alaric pinned beneath him, was sucking him dry. Alaric could feel the tingle of the life being drained out of him and was thinking what a bitch it was going to be this time when Damon pulled the man off of him and decapitated him with a crowbar. It was the look on Damon's face he didn't like, the snarl on his lips and the fury in his eyes that said Mine.

And one thing that isn't so bad:

1. Damon doesn't try to pretend this isn't what it is. The first time they fuck, Damon rolls them over in the middle of it, fangs bared, eyes bloody and bloodshot, and whispers against Rick's throat, "I can kill you in ways you can't imagine."

He appreciates the sentiment. But he doesn't believe it for a second.

5 True Things Elena Will Never Tell Alaric:

1. She thinks about it, being a vampire, letting Stefan turn her. Not Damon. She wouldn't be able to deal with his gloating for the rest of eternity.

2. Damon was bored last week and wrote her essay for her on the Boston tea party while they sat toe to toe, listening to Stefan detox. She turned it in just like that, too exhausted to be bothered re-writing it.

3. Someone wrote his name on the wall in the girls bathroom inside a heart and a couple of days later, someone added the words, "I'd hit it," in the same color Sharpie Elena carries in her purse.

4. That Damon considers him a friend -- he wouldn't understand what that means, or all that it entails.

5. That he's better off without Isobel. She won't say it because she knows that she'd want to bitch slap someone if they said it to her, but its true. He deserves better than to be left in the dark like a stranger, instead of someone's husband.

And 1 Lie She Will:

1. "Damon will never hurt you again."

I loved that Damon/Alaric one.
