In a fanfiction scenario, perhaps Elena meets Damon first while on a school trip. Damon is posing as a normal person at the time. They strike up a conversation, and Damon finds himself drawn to her innocence. He then has to make a choice about whether to reveal his true nature to her early on, which could lead to a lot of drama and a different path for their relationship compared to the original story.
One idea could be that when Elena first meets Damon, he saves her from a dangerous supernatural creature in a very unexpected way. This could set a different tone for their relationship from the start, with Elena being more curious and less afraid of Damon initially.
Well, perhaps the plot could involve Damon and Elena having an instant connection. Maybe Damon saves Elena from some sort of danger in this fanfic, which starts their relationship on a very different foot compared to the original story. It could also be that they share a deep conversation right away, revealing parts of their personalities that they usually keep hidden.
One idea could be that Damon is initially terrified of becoming a father but then gradually embraces the role as he sees Elena's excitement. Another could be that they face threats from the supernatural world because of the unborn child, like vampires or witches who want to use the baby's power. Maybe there's a prophecy about their child that causes all kinds of chaos in their lives.
Another plot could be centered around the baby's upbringing in a world full of supernatural beings. Damon and Elena might struggle with how to raise the baby in a way that it can fit into both the human and supernatural worlds. They could face challenges like finding the right school or dealing with other vampires who might not be so accepting of a half - vampire baby. Maybe they would have to move to a new place to keep the baby safe.
One plot idea could be that they finally give in to their feelings during a dangerous situation. Maybe they are trapped in a place together, and the fear and adrenaline make them realize how much they truly care for each other. Another idea is that it's a very slow - burn moment, after many shared secrets and tender moments, they decide to take the next step. It could also be a situation where they are trying to comfort each other after a big loss in their lives, and that leads to their first time.
One idea could be that they face challenges from the vampire and werewolf communities. Since their relationship was already complex in the show, this pregnancy could stir up more trouble. Another plot could be them trying to keep the pregnancy a secret while preparing for the arrival of the baby. They might have to deal with issues like finding a safe place to raise the child in a world full of supernatural threats.
Perhaps the baby girl gets kidnapped by an old enemy of Damon's. This enemy thinks that by taking the baby, they can get revenge on Damon. Elena then teams up with Damon's brother Stefan to rescue their daughter. Along the way, they discover secrets about Damon's past that he has been hiding from Elena, and this discovery could either strengthen or strain their relationship while they are desperate to get their baby girl back.
One idea could be that they travel back to a time when the founding families first made the deal with the vampires. They could try to change the terms to prevent all the future chaos. Another could be traveling to a time when they first met, but with their current knowledge and feelings, and seeing how that alters their relationship from the start.
Perhaps they start a secret relationship and have to hide it from their friends and family. This could lead to a lot of sneaking around and close calls, like when they're almost caught sharing a tender moment. As they keep their relationship a secret, they also learn more about each other's true selves.
In this fanfiction, Elena could start off as a more adventurous character. When she meets Damon, she's not as focused on the normal things in her life like school and friends. Instead, she's eager to explore the unknown with Damon, which would lead to a different kind of relationship. She could be the one dragging Damon into new situations rather than the other way around, and this would shape her character in a unique way.
Well, it could be that they meet in a mysterious forest. Damon might be on one of his brooding walks when he stumbles upon Elena. Maybe she's lost or just enjoying the solitude. Their eyes meet and there's an instant spark of curiosity and something more. They exchange a few words, and Damon's charm starts to work on Elena.
