for the prompt: Caroline/Bonnie/Elena – playing with magicWhen they were younger, maybe, they would stay up late like it was a novelty – like they weren’t made of moonlight and starlight and tiny bright things that only shine in the dark and have no place in the sun – and tell each other secrets they thought were secrets. Elena always knew what Bonnie was going to say before she said it and Bonnie always knew what Elena was thinking even if she said nothing at all and Caroline always knew what was worrying them but never said anything and Elena always knew what Caroline was feeling insecure about that at that moment and Bonnie always knew what Elena didn’t want to talk about and they all just knew all the things that the other didn’t want to say out loud. When they were younger, maybe, they would stay up late like it was a novelty – like they weren’t creatures that needed to hide away from the light and could only exist in the dark.
