The contrast between their worlds also adds to the appeal. The Vampire Diaries' world is more about ancient vampires, magic, and a lot of backstabbing among the supernatural beings. Twilight's world, on the other hand, is more focused on the love triangle between a human, a vampire, and a werewolf. Combining these two gives a lot of room for creative and unique storylines. It can be a story of Damon getting involved in the Twilight - style love triangle, or Bella being exposed to the more dangerous and complex vampire society of The Vampire Diaries.
One reason is the novelty of bringing together two characters from different but equally popular franchises. It's like creating a new universe where the rules of both 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'Twilight' can be bent and blended. For example, the idea of Damon's charm and Bella's innocence interacting is quite captivating.
Finally, it gives fans a chance to explore different versions of the characters. In fanfiction, the writers can take Bella out of her comfort zone in Forks and into Damon's world of Mystic Falls. Or they can show Damon in a different light as he tries to understand Bella's more simplistic view of the vampire - human relationship. This allows for a deeper exploration of their personalities and how they would react in new situations.
It's also interesting because it combines two very different fictional universes. The Twilight world with its own set of rules about vampires and werewolves, and The Vampire Diaries world which has its own vampire lore. When these two worlds collide in fanfiction, it creates a whole new set of possibilities for stories. For example, how would Damon react to the Cullens? And how would Bella fit into the Mystic Falls drama? All these questions make the fanfiction very appealing.
The main appeal is the chance to see new relationships. With an original character, we can explore different kinds of connections with Damon that might not be possible with the existing characters from the show. For example, an OC could have a completely different backstory and personality, leading to unique interactions.
Well, fanfiction about Damon Salvatore and Bella Swan can be really interesting. It often combines the dark and brooding nature of Damon from 'The Vampire Diaries' with Bella's somewhat reserved yet determined character from 'Twilight'. Some fanfictions might focus on their first encounter, perhaps in a setting that's a blend of the two fictional universes. It could be a story where Damon is intrigued by Bella's unique scent, not in the same way as Edward, but in a more Damon - like way, full of mystery and a bit of danger.
One common theme is the clash of different vampire lore. Bella is from a world where vampires are more like 'gentle' predators in a way, while Damon is from a more 'edgy' and dangerous vampire world. So, exploring how these two concepts mix is a big theme.
Another storyline could be a love triangle between Damon, Bella, and Edward. Bella is drawn to Damon's wild and unpredictable side, which makes Edward jealous. This could lead to a series of intense confrontations between the two male characters, with Bella caught in the middle, having to decide between the brooding, traditional vampire she loves in Edward and the more dangerous and exciting Damon.
Caroline Forbes could be a great addition. In 'The Vampire Diaries', Caroline is a strong and sassy vampire. In a fanfiction with Damon, Bella, and her, she could be a source of both conflict and support. She might be jealous of Bella's relationship with Damon at first, but then end up being an ally, especially if there's a common enemy.
There's also 'Bella and Damon: A New Alliance'. In this fanfic, Bella's tenacity and Damon's charm combine as they face a common enemy that threatens both their worlds. The author does a great job of weaving the two different universes together, and it has some really exciting action scenes.
The main appeal is the intense relationship between them. Fans love to explore different aspects of their love that weren't fully shown in the original books or movies. It allows for more creativity.
One factor is the world of Mystic Falls itself. It's a setting full of mystery, danger, and supernatural elements. When combined with a relationship between Damon and the reader, it creates countless possibilities for stories. The fanfiction allows readers to be part of that world, interact with the other characters, and experience the drama firsthand. Also, the idea of having a romantic relationship with a character like Damon, who is both dangerous and charming, is very appealing.
One great fanfiction I know is 'The Unlikely Bond'. It really delves into how Bella Swan and Damon Salvatore could form a unique connection in a world where their two different story universes collide. The author does an amazing job of portraying their characters and how they interact with each other.
