10 Days of Bonnie Bennett getting the love she deserves!
Each day has a word, a rarepair, and an ao3 tag. These are just for inspiration - all optional, not a requirement. Use whatever you wish to create for our favorite Bennett witch!
Rarepair for this event is a ship with less than 150 completed works, with main focus on the Bonnie ship. (Honestly, this is a casual event, so if you’re doing the bigger Bonnie ships, I'm not gonna stop you, but the focus is on the rarepairs - the rarer, the better.)
Crossovers, polyamory, OCs, LGBTQ+ are all welcome.
I’ll be reblogging folks work until the end of August, so if you’re late, no worries, still bring what you have when you can.
Please tag appropriately, even if that means you’re simply stating you’re not going to tag anything. (This is mainly for fic writers.)
Use #bbrarepairbash2024 so others can find your work. Tag me @/hollowed-hallowed and/or @/bbtvducollection, so I can make sure I reblog your creations. If there’s enough interest, I’ll start a collection on AO3.
Drop me a message or ask if you have any questions. I’ll see you all in July!
I did say Bonnie deserved hoes. That went for everyone. It is the least the plot could do is uplift Bonnie’s desirability given everyone needs her magic.
No one ever gives a good argument why a noncanon Bonnie ship shouldn’t have happened. “She’s too good for them” “That pairing is so toxic”. “Platonic for a reason…” For example: Kol killed Davina and she married him. No one says anything about Kolvina. But if Bonnie is too good what does that say about your fave for being paired with said toxic man…
Bonnie pushes the door open, her one track mind causing her manners to slip. Too bad she didn't knock.
"Stefan, we need to..." She trails off as she rounds the corner. Two sets of eyes stare back at her. From Stefan's bed. Where they are naked. Very naked. She stops in her tracks, mouth agape as she takes it all in.
Klaus is the first to speak. He shifts in the bed slightly, looking pleased with himself. "So nice of you to join us, little witch."
"I..."
Stefan and Klaus?
Stefan sits up, reaching for the sheets to cover all the necessary parts. He has the good sense to look sheepish. "Bonnie, I forget about our meeting."
"To be fair, I am very distracting," Klaus drawls.
Stefan shoots him a glare. "Just...just give me a few minutes." Before she can even say anything, he zips out of the bed in a blink. She turns her head instinctively to see where he went and Klaus chuckles from the bed.
"You know, ten minutes earlier and you would have gotten quite a show," he tells her and she can't help but look at him, lounging like a king in Stefan's bed.
(Oh God, she is picturing it)
Bonnie's face must give her away because Klaus continues to push. "My ripper doesn't hold back," he taunts. "I don't either. You could find out?"
Her eyes widen. "What?"
Clearly he enjoys having her cornered. "You could find out. First hand." He pats the bed. "Come on, love, it will be more than worth it."
Bonnie has it mind to set him on fire for this. The words are on the tip of her tongue when Stefan reappears (with pants thankfully). He is slipping into a shirt. "Don't let him get under your skin," Stefan cautions.
"I am not trying to get under her skin, I am trying to taste it," Klaus corrects.
Stefan tilts his head and sighs
Bonnie still hasn't managed to find her voice.
"She's thinking about it," Klaus calls out (and he is not wrong).
Stefan steps into her view. "Ignore him." There is a long pause followed by a meaningful look. "Unless you don't want to."
the later seasons of tvd would’ve been so much better had bonnie and caroline switched love interests and storylines.
it would’ve made more sense for stefonnie to get together, bonnie have kids (whether they be the gemini twins or not), stefan take the cure from elena, and open as supernatural school.
it also would’ve made more sense for caroline to fall for enzo (a vampire that actually enjoyed vampirism and fit her moral standards) and did the whole annoyance to lovers trope.
bonnie showed interest in having kids and was far more equipped to teach the next generation of supernaturals. additionally stefonnie had a much better set up post season 4 and kat and paul had amazing chemistry.
caroline never showed interest in children in any way shape or form and enjoyed every aspect of vampirism. it would’ve been more fitting for her to be with someone that fit the immortal lifestyle she set out to live, which enzo could’ve done (i honestly would’ve loved single!caroline but if i couldn’t have that or forwood, carenzo would’ve been my next choice for her).
Every day, my heart aches for all the Stefan/Bonnie scenes we missed out on. They abandoned their developing friendship so fast for no reason.
Did Stefan kill Enzo? Yes, but he wanted to comfort her. He didn't want her to grieve alone. He was supposed to spend the rest of his life making it up to Bonnie and then he died.
They spend 8 seasons being parallels to each other. They might as well do something with that Paul/Kat chemistry.
Bonnie deserved to have gotten everything and more.
I'm glad for the pro Bonnie Bennett fans that put so much effort into their work. I love reading ya'lls, metas, theories, stories, and what ifs. Your edits, celebrations, planned events, and watching your edits!
I love our interactions and discussions. A lot of talented people with great ideas. Your passion is noted and welcomed.
Try not to be discouraged by the negativity or antis. To navigate through fandom is already hard by itself.
It’s funny how a lot of TVD Stans all of a sudden lose the ability to envision anything outside of canon when it comes to Bonnie and her only. All these fantasies, hypotheticals and what if’s can be thrown around for other characters but God for bid it’s Bonnie. Now it’s either Bonnie Stan’s are doing too much, we’re trying to make her the main character and give her too much attention/spotlight or we’re being delusional giving her storylines that make her ooc even tho the entire show was hella inconsistent in how characters were written.
It’s not our fault y’all choose to only see her for what was given in the show and nothing more. Take that close minded energy elsewhere.
I am over here contemplating returning to the tvdu just to give us all the Bonnie Bennett content we are all hungry for !!!! How is it going into 2024 and you have dumb people in this fandom still giving Bonnie and Kat so much shit. Let me block some people so my Bonnie-related tags don't look so gross!!!
Just thinking that season 4 and 5 would've been great if a stefonnie relationship were ever to start especially the beginning season 5.
They're both "dead" and the people they know and trust don't even think it's strange they haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Caroline especially cause she should have known something is wrong if Bonnie didn't answer her calls for so long.
Ugh there's so many ways they could've gotten together with the buildup that could've been easily written in. But no we had to go through Doppelganger and Traveler bullshit as well as Anchor Bonnie. Which sucked because why would Qetsiyah want her descendant to suffer.
It’s always hilarious when hearing antis going all “they barely interact “, “they hate each other”, “they’re just friends”, etc. when it comes to people shipping a non canon ship when it like…we know. Like there’s something called imagination in this world. You should maybe try it sometime lol.
Prompt: Ripper Stefan takes a liking to Bonnie and gets jealous whenever Damon is with her.
She might have noticed his hot back first but after that Bonnie really hadn't paid attention to Stefan in that way. After all, it becomes pretty clear that he has eyes for Elena and her friend deserves a bit of happiness after everything she has gone through. She and Stefan exist on the outskirts of one another, friends but not really, and they both seem okay with that.
Until a switch flips.
Literally.
Bonnie is stretching her legs to get ready to run the track circle when his shadow slides over her skin. She can already feel the death wafting off of him and braces herself before she looks up to find him smiling at her with a mouth full of teeth. It is unsettling how much he looks like himself, but not.
"Hey, Bonnie," he says and there is something so smooth about his voice that she knits the features of her face together in confusion. "Going for a run?"
"Uh," Bonnie begins, glancing down at the obvious signs that she is. "Yes."
"We'll run together," Stefan announces with an air of finality that she finds herself falling into step with him. He is a machine, capable of moving swiftly yet he ensures that she controls the pace. The moment she speeds up, so does he. "Not trying to get away from me, are you Bonnie?"
"And what if I am?" she shoots back, momentarily forgetting that his new (old) favorite pastime is ripping people into pieces.
"That would hurt my feelings," he tells her, his mouth falling into a mockery of a frown. It doesn't last long --- the next moment he is showing his teeth again.
That does it.
Bonnie pulls to a stop and his quick reflexes allow him to do the same. For a moment they stare one another down and then she asks the obvious question. "What do you want, Stefan?"
He waits a beat and then his eyes travel downward, tracing along her curves. An arm crosses over the other and by the time their eyes meet again, he is smug.
"Oh," she says, the only word she can think of as she tries to process this new turn of events. It sinks in, coming to rest in the pit of her stomach.
Oh.
From that moment on, Stefan doesn't give her much peace. He shows up on her porch, lazily pushing himself back and forth on the swing as she steps out with her backpack tucked against her body. "I'll walk you."
He leans against the fence at cheerleading practice, his gaze following her every move. It is unnerving, not just for her but for everyone else. In fact, he seems to be scaring off any potential competition. He is the only one there, clapping loudly every time she lands a toe touch.
She has a feeling he watches her sleep, although she can't prove that one yet.
She can't take it much longer.
She does something she would normally be loathed to do. She goes to Damon. The moment he opens the door, she is pushing her way past. "We have to do something about your brother."
"Well, hello to you too, Bon Bon," he drawls as he closes the door and follows her into the depths of the boarding house.
She ignores any attempt to bait her, instead getting down to business. "He is hurting people. He is causing so much damage. He is..."
"Sniffing after the town witch," Damon finishes.
Bonnie presses her lips together, annoyed that Damon has gotten to the bottom of her true intentions that quickly. This is not about the innocent people, this is about her. This is about her peace of mind. She doesn't want to be the object of Stefan's twisted form of affection.
She huffs. "He is supposed to love Elena. He is not supposed to even notice me..."
Damon raises both his eyebrows and shifts closer to her. "Really? He is supposed to just ignore a beautiful, powerful creature? I mean, he's stupid but he's not completely clueless."
Bonnie puts a hand up to stop Damon. He walks right into it and as a result she is standing there with her fingers splayed on his chest when Stefan saunters in. He stands there for a moment, watching his brother and his witch. Then he frowns.
Someone is dying tonight because of this moment.
"Hands off, brother," Stefan says evenly.
"She's touching me," Damon points out.
Bonnie jerks her hand away. She can feel the testosterone flowing. "Uh, let's get it clear. I don't want anything to do with either of you," she says, pushing each word out slowly in hopes that it sinks home for at least one of the brothers.
