And a pigeon flew down from the heavens and said:

Then made the Ten Commandments for DE shippers across the land:

1. Thou shall worship Damon/Elena at all times.
Even when eating - you eat that rice like Damon/Elena touched it with their beauty.
2. Thou shall be free to be naked on the thread.
If time calls for it don't resist, let yourself be free.
3. Thou shall have at least fifty seven shrines in your house
At least twenty nine should be of Damon/Elena. The rest should be of Ian Somerhalder's ass.
4. Thou shall stalk Ian Somerhalder and take naked pictures of him.
5. Thou should be prepared to go to jail for stalking.
6. Thou shall drink milk at all times.
7. Every Friday thou shall ride on a cow and shout "DAMON AND ELENA FOREVAHHHH BIIIIITCHES" to passers by.
8. Thou shall take a shot every time Damon/Elena are Damon/Elena-ish.
Yes bitches we be drunk all the time.
9. Thou shall move out and live in Milkland in a house made out of a cheese wheel.
10. Thou shall worship the pigeon for he is our savior.

We could talk for hours if we had to enumerate all the reasons why Damon & Elena are the most amazing pairing ever.
So I will just say that I love them so much because they have the best chemistry I have ever seen on screen in my life.
I also love that they didn't come easy, that Elena have known him first for his bad sides and decided to forgive him and now she's discovering the good part of him too.
I love that they don't have to lie to each other, they can show themself to the other as they really are.
And I know this is the basis of any good relationship. They have the best build-up and it is very important in a couple, especially with them.
They don't rush anything.
They're real.
~ Pauline

They have an undeniable chemistry and a undeniable je ne sais quoi.
There’s something there that neither of them can really put their
finger on.
Nina Dobrev

There are so many reasons why I love Damon and Elena that it's impossible to list them all.
Firstly, there's the amazing and undeniable chemistry Ian and Nina have that makes their scenes so natural and full of sexual tension.
Then there's the fact that they're only truly themselves when they're around each other.
She brings out his humanity and kindness and makes him want to be someone better simply by believing in him, something no one else had ever done before.
And in turn, he helps her let loose and brings out that fun, fiery and passionate side of her like no one else does.
They reveal the best in each other and understand one another without even needing words.
They have the chemistry, the connection, the build up, and that's why Damon and Elena are the real OTP of the series.~ Rita

He reached a place, because of his feelings for Elena, thinking that,
for the very first time in his life that he has a home. And he’s setting
up roots. And he found himself protecting what he held dear at the
end of last season.
Kevin Williamson

When I read the books, I always was a DE shipper inside.
But I didn't think that I would be such a big shipper until the show started.
No one can deny the spark that they both have, because even if they aren't in a relationship, they still have something.
Elena understands Damon; she can see that there's more to him that meets the eye.
And Damon, in return, gets Elena more than she can imagine.
My favorite character is Damon and to see how much humanity comes out of him because of Elena, it warms my heart.
They understand each other and the development of their relationship is what makes it even stronger every time.
I believe that more exciting things will come with these two soon enough because there's so much chemistry, sexual tension and understanding...
which will grow into something more.
~ Moni8

Damon and Elena are everybody's guilty pleasure.
I think what its so enticing about these two its that they are the true definition of 'Forbidden'.
Elena seems to be Damon's forbidden fruit and he can't help but get it at any costs, he isn't afraid to push people's way to get what he wants,
and this passion he has its what will bring him to fall in love without ever realizing it.
Its not the typical sweet, cheesy love, its raw, cruel and fierce its what makes them this passionate.
Elena is drawn to Damon, but she's afraid of this feeling, this connection between the two, that's why she doesn't get any closer,
she knows with Damon everything is dangerous, so she takes the easy highway, cause she's afraid of the feelings that come out once with Damon,
this fierce passion she gets while with him is a different feeling, and she doesn't know whether to fear it or embrace it.
Damon, on the other hand isn't a suicidal lover, he won't die if he doesn't get Elena finally by his side,
he would just keep fighting for her, harder and harder, this is way Damon and Elena will never be easy, its the kind of love that kills, and yeah...
I'll quote Spike 'they'll fight and they'll shag, and they'll hate each other till it makes them both quiver, cause love isn't brains, its blood'.
~ Claudia

Damon and Elena are known as Twin Flames, which means:
"Twin flames, also called twin souls, are literally the other half of our soul."
We all have only one twin, the other half that completes you in every way possible.
I found these words to be very powerful and true when it comes to Damon and Elena.
These two balance each other out, bringing out feelings within themselves that they have chose to keep locked away.
Apart, Elena can be serious and have the ability to take too much upon herself.
Damon on the other hand can be fun, yet dark, and evil, suppressing his human half.
Together, they balance each other out, Elena making Damon more human and Damon making Elena let go and just be herself.
Damon and Elena are two halves of a whole and that has been proven many times over the course of the show as well as the books, and for that,
it is why my attraction is so strong, a pull and a force that can only get stronger. ~ Ashley (toxicgurl169)

We’ll see him have an evolution of feelings for her.
Julie Plec

Why do I love Damon and Elena?
There are many reasons why I love them.
The probably most important reason would be the chemistry between these two.
This undeniable chemistry that is real and intense.
Nina and Ian also have a special chemistry and they transfer it to Damon and Elena on the show, which lead to incredible moments between them.
Another reason why I love them is that Damon behaves differently towards Elena.
Damon shows her his humanity.
He doesn't show this to other people.
I just love those meaningful looks between them, Elena's lip staring and the faith they have in each other.
Even if Damon kills more people, Elena will see the true Damon.
She will soon see that she loves him.
Their feelings for each other will grow slowly and at some point they will explode.
They belong together.
~ Natalie (bluestar_Nater)

Damon and Elena are a very intoxicating couple: they can leave you breathless just by one look.
That type of fiery passion stems from the roots of Ian/Nina's chemistry.
Not only is it passionate and intense but it's such a natural chemistry that it makes their relationship so believable.
When the show started we saw Damon as this bad-ass guy who didn't really care for anything but himself but over time
we have come to see that deep down inside he still has some humanity left.
Elena is the reason for this: it started off as Damon just remembering his feelings for Katherine; so we knew he was capable of love.
But over time he started to see her for who she was completely: Just Elena.
And that was enough for him.
He looked past her appearance saw something inside of her which made him want to protect and fight and care for the people who mean something to him.
And through this change in Damon, Elena found a friend and a savior.
We are so lucky to have such an amazing build-up because they're not rushing into anything:
they're taking their time, savoring every moment, every touch, every look.
It's only the beginning but I believe their story will be one of the greats.
~ Laura

Damon and Elena are pure fire.
That's what makes me think about them.
They have this connection and this sexual tension that sooner or later will explode! I really enjoy their build-up.
It's slow but in a really good way.
Little by little Elena learned to know and understand Damon and she ended-up caring about him.
On the other side, Damon learned to trust Elena and love her.
After more than a century he decided to trust her.
She's the only one that ever try to understand him and that show him love.
I think they complete each other and can be themself together.
There's something so strong and undeniable between them.
You can feel it every time they're around each other.
Ian and Nina are doing an amazing job with them and they've so much chemistry.
It's like WOW!
They are always able to touch me in every their scene.
~ Silvia (Peyton89)

I’m always entertained by the possibility. Elena and Damon have
fun together. It’s fun to watch them together because they do
have a rapport in the way they play.
Nina Dobrev

I believe it is impossible to not love DE if one loves the characters of Damon and Elena both as they bring out what is best in each other and make the other one grow.
All great love stories, of the kind that are the most memorable, are of couples who need to work at it to finally end up together.
They face many obstacles, from third parties intervening to their own making -their fears, stubbornness, self-worth issues-…
But after all the struggle, both inner and outer, they finally grow, both as characters and a couple to reach a
point where it is time to open themselves to one another completely and claim the other as their true eternal mate.
And that is the moment everyone has been waiting for.
That is the moment the whole story has been building for.
Every obstacle in their way was there to bring them a step closer to one another, to add more meaning to their story, to make it even more memorable, more striking.
And DE is made of that kind of greatness.
Theirs is the story that already managed to strike something special in a lot of people.
Theirs is the relationship that gets lots of build-up and intrigues and moves everyone one way or another and has them talking.
They are THE couple of the show that everyone responds to.
DE is the couple who has a story that needs and deserves to be told and TVD is telling that story.
~ Schumiac

Damon and Elena have amazing potential.
Their chemistry is absolutely undeniable.
Immediately when they met they had an understanding of each other and their friendship has grown.
Elena is the only person to bring out Damon's humanity, which you can see by how much he cares for her and fiercely protects her.
Elena is drawn to Damon and she is realizing how much she needs him in her life.
Their connection has grown strong and will only get stronger over time. They have had a fantastic buildup and their story can only get better as their feelings develop further.
~ Amanda (Empty_Handed)

Think about it, it’s romantic comedy 101 – they have to hate each
other first, and that will eventually turn itself inside out. But
whether or not it’s this season or next season, we’ll have to wait
and see.
Kevin Williamson

Elena brings out the good in Damon and in many ways Damon brings
out the good in Elena. I think sometimes the people who do that to you,
you often have the most complicated relationships with.
Ian Somerhalder

Damon&Elena are EPIC.
I love them because they understand each other on a level that no one else does.
Elena brings out Damon's humanity but it hasn't been an easy road.
It's a complicated love that blossomed from a rare friendship.
They both protect and save each other and are each others equals.
I love that their banter in the books is the same on-screen, funny, playful, and adorably cute!
Not only do they have the best conversations but in scenes where there are no words, it's just as powerful because their eyes speak for them.
Elena is both Damon's weakness and strength.
They both depend on each other more than they let on.
He shows her how to have fun while she remains the only person in his life who can genuinely make him smile.
His pain is her pain and her pain is his pain.
DE do not like it when the other is hurt and are there to support and help each other back up all the time, without question.
They just get each other.
They are one.
I love DE so much but even more because of Nian - they have INTENSE chemistry!
