I trust the writers to take Damon/Elena slowly too :) Something about this show screams they know what they're doing. Also, Stefan/Katherine=Angel/Darla! Oh ship I ship :)
The Damon/Elena stuff I've written is... kinda unhealthy and dark and twisty. Which I don't think is up your alley but damon_elena has plenty of fic posted so you should explore. Also, check out girljustdied, a friend of mine who writes less fluffy Damon/Elena as well. Hmm, what else.
The Spike/Buffy parallel for Damon/Elena is tempting but I don't completely buy it because they aren't the same shows ;) Also, I'm enjoying Damon/Elena way too much and at least there aren't three earlier seasons with a different premise of how a vampire's soul works or doesn't being undermined. We've talked about this :) I think I also like how Elena's not dealing with just internal or just external stuff, which I thought S6 of Buffy dealt with too much internal and not enough external to balance it out.
The Bonnie hate makes me really sad but I've decided to ignore it for now. Apparently she's just awful in the books and I think people might be transferring that to the show right now. There's also apparently a Bonnie/Damon ship which they're quite defensive over. I got an ~education in this today by accident, but I think it's more reflex than anything. With a chance to shine, I hope the hate dies down.
Also Alaric is still love. I'm not spoiling you for S2 but I heard EPIC things about him. Js. :)
In other news, congrats on applying for the job and I caught up on SH! Oh my god. I need it to be so much longer than four episodes now. Or three. Whatever ridiculous restrictions BBC has put on it.
