Summary: Set in S1 "Fool Me Once" and S2 "The Return," "The Sun Also Rises," and "As I Lay Dying" with some 1864 flashbacks. Just a Datherine songfic.
*1864*
I woke up before the sun
Chased your ghost across the yard
Through the fog and tumbling dark 'til you were gone
Virginia
I can hardly breathe
I've forgotten how to sleep
And your face still haunts my dreams when I'm alone
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
It was a dismal night, as Damon chased after her through the woods.
"Where are we going?" he questioned her.
"Everywhere!" she said back.
Finally, he caught up to her and she stood against a tree.
"Why must you run from me?"
"Because I know that you will chase."
"Then let me chase you forever," he said.
She made a cut by her collarbone. "I won't feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it."
"I choose you, Katherine," he said, before feeding from the cut.
*Fool Me Once*
Yes
I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
The things I gave away
They're not coming back for me
Should've learned from my mistakes but I never do
As I lay here all alone I hang up before I call
And admit to all my faults to pass the time
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
He stood in the tomb, looking around at the vampires, not seeing Katherine anywhere.
"She's not here," he realized. "She's not here!" he yelled, throwing the blood bag against the rock wall.
*1864*
Yes
I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
There's a place we used to go
Today I went alone
If there's a message in this song
Well I don't know
It was a beautiful day, as he lay in bed, her on top of him. She changed her face to vampiric. When she did, he touched her face where the veins were, not afraid that she would hurt him, believing that she would never hurt him.
*The Sun Also Rises*
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
Yes
I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
"So, what? 145 years and no last goodbye?" Katherine questioned him after finding out that he'd been bitten by a werewolf.
"For you? You don't get a goodbye," he replied.
*As I Lay Dying*
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure
So now I'm walking on a tightrope wire
Too far off the ground
I'm imagining the words you said when last I saw your mouth
She rested a hand on the side of his face after having him drink the cure, hoping it wasn't too late. She acted like she didn't care, but she did care. She cared more than he would ever know.
He looked at her.
"You came."
"Of course, I came. I owed you one."
He silently watched, as she left.
*The Return*
Yes
I'm walking on a tightrope wire
So afraid to fall
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure
And I'd tell you that I miss you but I'm sure it doesn't matter at all
It was a dismal night at the Salvatore boarding house, as they made out in the living room, her against the wall, going at vampire speed, as they did so.
