some Bonnie & Shane love

with Kat Graham on Canadian thanksgiving

I had no idea they ever took any pics together!

They also took this picture from set.

According to this they spent Canadian Thanksgiving together which is really sweet when you consider the fact that in the early days of TVD the cast did a lot of activities together including Thanksgiving which Kat was never a part of.

I feel like I’ve read all the bonkai and klonnie fics and I need something new. You seem like a good person to ask for fic recommendations please?

Finally a week later, sorry it took so long but hopefully the length of this list makes up for it. Please note when asked for fic recs I take them very seriously and as noted by this long list I will rec you a million and one fics especially without many restrictions on what you’re looking for. Some of these you may or may not have read but I’m putting them here anyways in case you hadn’t.

Tonnie:

  • Stranger Than Fiction by norrific

    Oh my God, you’re caught between a vampire and a wolf. You know who that makes you’ ‘Don’t say it, Caroline.’ ‘Bella Swan.’ ‘I told you not to say it.’ ‘Come on Bonnie, how could I not say it.‘  

While this is a Damon, Bonnie, Tyler love triangle I consider this a Tonnie fic all the way because not much case is made for Bamon at all in this fic. 

  • Bitten by CarlyCo: Bonnie is back from the dead and she just wants to have a normal life. But her quest for a normalcy is derailed when Damon decides to use authentic ‘hillbilly’ moonshine to get over Elena. A moonshine fueled one-night stand with an unexpected partner results in Bonnie biting off more than she can chew. Although, to be fair, Bonnie wasn’t the one doing the biting.

I love this fic and this author and this pairing it’s like a trifecta of greatness for me.

  • Runaway by romeosareveryundependable: 

    Tyler was told Bonnie was dead so why is she partying it up at a New Orleans nightclub? Before Tyler has a chance to investigate, his memories of Bonnie are wiped and the King of the Quarter himself thrusts Tyler into a struggle for the city, a struggle Bonnie is already very much a part of.

Pretty much what we always wanted with Bonnie away from the MFG, in fact they think she’s dead. It also does a great justice Tyler and framing the pain Klaus put him through. Along with Tonnie there’s also some great Klonnie flirting. 

  • Indecent Liasions by charrrmed: The night of the Originals’ ball finds Bonnie taking a walk to clear her head of her problems. She stumbles upon Tyler who is desperately trying to break Klaus’ sire bond, only to suffer a disappointing setback when he learns Bill, who was supposed to mentor him, is dead. Could this be what actually sets him free? What follows is a story about two teenagers, one more lost than the other, coming together and exploring a different use for the banes of their existence, their powers.

A nice sexy alternative to the Mikaelson Ball and why she was missing from it,

  • Rebellion by romeosareveryundependable: 

    Bonnie’s disillusioned after Shane turns out to be just another person looking to take advantage of her, and Tyler’s anger is reaching a boiling point after his mother’s murder. When the two run into each other at a bar, things get physical, and despite (and in spite of) Tyler’s relationship with Caroline, they keep getting physical.

Warning: it is a cheating fic, but has some really hot smut.

  • A Side of Lockwood, A Shot of Bennett by Nicole Lo: 

    But in this reality you are Tyler Lockwood, ultimate player, d bag, man w****. She’s Bonnie, the most beautiful girl in school, the only one you’ve been able to fall in love with … a branch off from the Bamon in “My Last Breath” R/R 

This one is actually a prequel to a different fic but you don’t have to read the other fic for it to make sense, in fact it make more sense if you don’t read it. 

  • Breed by bigwhoopers: 

    Bonnie is forced to have children by a vampire hunter. 

TW: Rape, it’s essentially Bonnie and Tyler get kidnapped by either Augustine or the Armoury, I can’t remember which one they chose they’re essentially the same, and are forced to breed to create a better vampire hunter. They obviously bond over the exact same trauma and the desire to leave with the same stakes. 

One of those cute pre-canon Bonnie stories.   

One of my favorite Tonnie fics, is essentially a really long smut fic but there is a plot. It’s essentially a rewrite of season 4. 

  • Bewitchment by Xenahime92: 

    Who wishes that Tyler and Bonnie were closer? What if the Masquerade happened differently? ‘How did the pull he once felt for her became the only thing that was literally holding him to the ground and making sure he didn’t drown? In all of one night, Bonnie became his air.. and he wouldn’t change it for anything in this world.

I think the summary explains it all. Warning it does bash the main trio and Katherine.

  • Joys of Sex by DizniPrinzess: 

    Bonnie and Tyler embark on a sexual journey together. Takes place before the show starts in their Sophomore year.

It’s a smut fic that does a great job of not over-sexualizing Bonnie, it’s literally her journey into having sex and the fun and not so fun parts of it.

  • Flesh by waitingforyouonce: Tyler returns to Mystic Falls intent on getting revenge on Klaus, but a charged encounter with a recently resurrected Bonnie changes his focus and he decides to stay in town for a different reason.

Another smut fic that deals with the aftermath of Klaus banishing Tyler but takes a sexy detour.

  • First of All… by Angelika: 

    When Tyler first gets the words “First of all, bitch…” on his arm as his mark, he is obviously less than pleased. He also never expected that it would be the response to tapping Bonnie (also known as “Hot Girl Who Works at the School LIbrary”) on the shoulder two years later. Unfortunately, Bonnie thinks he’s a spoiled, arrogant, douchebag. She’s right, obviously (not that he’d ever admit it).

An adorable soulmate fic that features a Bonnie and Tyler in college with none of the things that happened in canon so they’re a lot more light-hearted.

Shennett:

  • Rate My Professor by charrrmed: 

    College preparedness includes meeting your professor before the first day of class. A visit to Whitmore leads to Bonnie’s first teacher evaluation, Caroline’s turn as a mentor, and Elena’s first blood high.

A fic that plays on what I really liked about Shennett in the beginning which was that he brought back S1 Bonnie who was bubbly and full of wonder. Also there’s some pretty hot sex and it’s essentially what 4×04 should have been. 

  • Mentor by Albion19: Missing scene set in 4×10. Shane promises to always protect her and Bonnie starts to realise it is more than a mentoring relationship for her.

One of many nice AU’s of season four but with Shennett, the ship I was never quite able to get over. 

  • Where was my fault in loving you? by Ana Graves: 

    Bonnie Bennett didn’t really know what love and hate was until she met Him. He changed everything. Her understanding of the world, her feelings, her passions. He changed her for good. When she is trapped between loyalty, desires, love and hatred – what would she choose? Bonnie & Shane, takes place after 4×10; T for now.

Unfortunately there’s only one short chapter but when it comes to this pair I take what I can get especially if it’s well written.

  • Paradise Circus by MidnightStorm6593: 

    Eventually she gives in just like he knew she would.

It’s not really a Shennett but more of a Bonnie x Silas fic, in Shane’s body.

Again I take what I can get with this pairing.

It’s a great dark alternative to season 4, but it’s a smutty one shot. 

Bamon:

  • All War is Based On Deception by CarlyCo: 

    Bonnie Bennett has been in love with unrepentant playboy Damon Salvatore for as long as she can remember. On the worst day of her life, the young woman learned that she was going to be his wife. At first, it felt like a dream come true. The merger of their powerful families increased their wealth and influence exponentially. There wasn’t a woman or man alive that wasn’t envious. Four years later, their life is plagued by lies, secrets, manipulation, infidelity, and violence. Bonnie has finally realized that fairytales aren’t real and that she needs to grow up fast. Will Damon and Bonnie’s marriage be able to weather the oncoming storm? 

One of my favorite fic ever, it’s just so elaborate and well thoughout It’s Bamon probably in it’s purest form in that Damon doesn’t deserve her and in turn loses her and almost everything. It’s not finished yet, but at some point I assume he does earn her back, but as of right now it’s very Tonnie oriented as far as pairings go, but so much more than pairings are going on in this fic. 

  • Something Real by Gurl6: 

    Even if she was less vapid and more interesting than the other women he was seeing, this thing tonight wasn’t going beyond coffee and hopefully sex. (AU, No Supernatural)

A nice all human Bamon fic that, like most Bamon fics, has him OOC while completely in character because that’s the only way to write him in a palatable way. 

  • Notorious by Cleo Clipper: 

    At 18, Damon Salvatore was the Golden Boy of Mystic Falls with the world at his fingertips. He had money, a football scholarship to a prestigious school and power people could only dream of. At 19, he’s become one of the most dangerous drug dealers Mystic Falls has ever seen. And Bonnie Bennett can’t help her dangerous attraction to him. All human. R&R please and thank you

This is a great fic that I read in one whole night when I should have been sleeping. 

  • It’s Like a Best Friend But More by roxyhoney: 

    Damon Salvatore could be arrogant, annoying, and sometimes downright intolerable. Damon Salvatore had a soft spot for those he cared about, an amazing heart, and eyes that could reach inside someone’s soul if you stared long enough. Damon Salvatore was my best friend, and I’ve known him since I was born. So, falling for him was out of the question… right? (all human)

It’s a nice AH/AU that basically rewrites the whole MFG. It has a Damon who fights for Bonnie, a Bonnie who has multiple people vying for her attention.

  • Blood and Bourbon (bothby lighteninginmyeyes: 

    What happens when Bonnie Bennett, law student and all around Good Person, finds herself living next to the infamous Damon Salvatore, rock-star/playboy-guitarist, all around Not-So-Good-Person? Collection of loosely connected one-shots. (rom-com drama)

Like most of my Bamon recs it’s AH which makes sense because that’s really the only way I tolerate Damon, that’s very in character to how their relationship/friendshi would have evolved. as noted by “both” there’s the original and the rewrite, both are great. 

  • Seven by bellavida0213: Seven days until his freedom, Damon reflects back on his life with Bonnie Bennett, the mother of his children and what lead him to lose her. He is determine to win her back and lead a straight life. AU All Human. Mentions of recreational drug use

Again me and my AH/AU ass, this is a great kis fic as well as over arcing story ans the kids don’t take over the fic. It’s a great perspective on life in poorer communities and the system. 

  • Enemy by Sunny D Writez: 

    Bonnie and Damon have never been able to stand each other, despite the fact that she’s best friends with his brother. Struggling to break free of their own toxic relationships, they find an escape in each other, while desperately trying to fight any feelings that may go beyond the physical. AU/AH 

An AH enemies to lovers fic, not really for Tyler fans, nut note he’s wildly OOC and there mostly to serve as an opposing party for Bamon to show in contrast. But it’s a really great fic and if you love Stelena is feature a great deal of them as well. 

  • Frigid by SpiralingForever: 

    Bamon AU. The undead walk the earth. No police. No law. Civilization is dwindling. Bonnie begins to discover her magic a little too late. Can she become the person she needed, or jaded just enough to live only for herself? *Warning* Drugs. Non-Con. Graphic Violence.

A zombie apocalypse AU and the only one I’m recing that has Damon as a vampire and Bonnie as a witch. It does have a depressing undertone but it’s a zombie apocalypse so why wouldn’t it. This fic is a great AU and expansion to the lore.  

Stefonnie:

  • A Kiss Before Lying by strictlyficly: 

    They didn’t have their memories. They all envied that, though deep down inside they knew if anyone should be able to have that privilege it should be them. Yet with that being said, that privilege came with difficulties because they no longer had their loyalty. It wasn’t until now that they realized how much they relied on them when they were trouble. How much they leaned on them.

This fic is essentially the epitome of “Bonnie and Stefan deserve better.” 

  • Kindred by waitingforyouonce:

    Stefan doesn’t know what it is about the Bennett women that draw him in, but he has never had a problem walking into the fire.   

This one is kinda a multiship because it has Stefan hooking up with all of the Bennett clan but I’m putting it in Stefonnie because I have so few. 

Bonkai:

  • Precipice by ms-ssnape: 

    The Bennett Coven and the Parker Coven have worked together for centuries to lock evil away in the Prison Worlds but that doesn’t mean Bonnie Bennett and Kai Parker ever have to get along… at least not until a secret is revealed that just might change everything. AU. Rated M for future chapters. (Written for all the people on tumblr who said they were interested.)

  • Picket Fence by IAintPunkRock: 

    Bonnie Bennett is just a typical fresh high school graduate when she came back to Mystic Falls to visit her grandmother. Trying hard to be as normal as she can be, she went to adjust at her seemingly new environment with her two best friends Elena and Caroline. But a college sophomore student named Kai Parker just have to give her a new meaning for the word “normal”.

  • Tantric Binding: A Bonkai Story by kayer713: 

    When Kai kidnaps Bonnie he uses her subconscious urges to create a little naughty magic. Oneshot

  • Reckless by BadNBoujee: 

    All her life Bonnie Bennett had followed the rules. Practically wrote the handbook on how to breeze through it without ruffling any feathers. She was perfect, or as close as one could be. Well, at least that had been the case. Until she met him.. Short multi-chapt AU fic. OOC. Lonely housewife. Cheating. Light BDSM. ect.

  • Since We Were Kids by crazzedfangirl24:

    Bonnie and Kai have been best friends since they were 5, now at 16 they must resolve their feelings for each other. However, the quiet town of Mystic Falls is now haunted by a psychopath who’s hellbent on killing teenage girls. Will the Mystic Falls gang find out who is behind the killings? This story has no supernatural elements, all the characters are normal humans. 
     

  • Mundane by LiLaAir: Bonnie is living in Portland with her mother. She still has a strong connection to her Mystic Falls life and has created a good way to combine the two worlds. Until she meets Kai Parker, a boy from her school that has quiet a raputation. Bonnie is struggling to keep her life the way she used to handle it. Why does he have such an impact on her? All human and other characters.

  • Phesmathos Liga by imlittleredbird: 

    Kai has a problem. You see, he can’t help but accidentally siphon Bonnie’s magic whenever he’s turned on and they’re having sex. So, Bonnie ties his hands behind his back and rides him. Bonkai. Rated M for many reasons, I warned you.

Klonnie:

  • Twisted by MidnightStorm6593: 

    These little trysts had started not too long ago. She thinks maybe it had only been about a week or so since they’d begun. She’s not really all that sure. It was all one big blur.

A smutty Klaus in Tyler’s body oneshot. 

Multi-ship:

  • Sensual Encounter by BreatheLiveWords: 

    This will be a series of one-shots and mystery-shots (where the pairing is hinted at, but not revealed or is revealed at the end). It will contain different pairings of characters. I have not seen past the second episode of season 4 however. I like to write about parings not seen in the show so there may not be a lot of Stelena/Delena/Beremy. See profile for more info please.

  • Pink Cellophane by Six2VII: 

    Bonnie is feeling a bit lonely during Valentine’s Day Weekend. She has the opportunity to connect with a certain someone, but feels hampered by her educational obligations. Help Bonnie decide how to spend her weekend, and more importantly who to spend it with. A Bonnie Bennett choose your own adventure with fourteen smutty endings (That’s fourteen different ships)

This is a chose your own adventure fic than can end in almost any pairing you wanting it to you just have to pick the right path. 

  • Tangled Like Old String by summerstrom: 

    Bonnie’s a good way past tipsy, so Caroline figures it’s now or never and says, “Can we make this a little racier?

I put this under multi-ship mainly because it’s a foursome smut fic between Bonnie, Jeremy, Tyler, and Caroline, but respectively they’re in their canon pairings.

  • Complexity by waitingforyouonce:  One shots and drabbles that feature Bonnie Bennett in a variety of pairings. Will also include pairings from other tv shows.

No pairing:

  • in absence of by thebitterbeast: Bonnie makes a decision, and nothing is the same. 

Bonnie done helping the MFG.  

Basically nuances of Bonnie’s character Plec and Williamson could never convey (granted they never tried). 

Non-Bonnie fics: (but are really good)

This is one of my favorite fics of all time. It’s a fic about the adults of TVD Pre-canon. My favorite chapters are John Gilbert, Jenna Sommers, and Liz Forbes. It brought on pairings I would have never thought of and a whole new light to John Gilbert having to watch his brother raise his daughter. I consider this fic canon it’s that good.

A great character study and includes thing I now consider as canon.

I read this one mostly for Jenna/Mason but I do like persective it brings on Vicki and her relationship with Jeremy.

This one has a great perspective on Caroline and Andy and the Damon of it all. It’s a great read especially for those who were baffled and annoyed by Caroline’s reaction to Delena in S4. 

  • The Sorcerer and His Shadow self by darthpumpkinspice: 

    Stefan is trapped in the coffin and Silas tells him a story: a story of an ambitious man who loved a woman, and the witch that cursed him forever.

This is my beautiful disaster ship Qetsiyah and Silas and boy is is a beautiful disaster. It has small tweaks to canon but boy do they make all the difference.  

  • the conquered by labrynthsend: 

    Century after century, I watched versions of Stefan and Elena find each other like magnets, always the same story – conquering all, falling in love. You didn’t think your brother was Silas’ first shadow?

More of my beautiful disaster. I honestly wish there was more fics with them or that I could write one but I’ve got so many other fics to finish. 

  • Double or Nothing by waitingforyouonce: 

    With Stefan trapped in a watery grave and Bonnie no longer on the earthly plane, Silas’ two biggest obstacles are no longer a problem. Everything has gone according plan, but now Silas has to figure out away to a way to bring back the woman he loves. What will happen when it comes out that Stefan & Bonnie haven’t actually been taken care of. Stefan/Bonnie, Silas/Qetsiyah

This is my beautiful disaster in it’s best for, without Amara. It’s also a great Stefonnie fic. 

My Fics:

  • My Discarded MenI’d like to tell a little story, that’s been told time and time again, about the foolish men who chase me…Bonnie gives up her “judgy” ways and becomes someone far from her usual self, except didn’t tell anyone. Watch her deceive those closest to her.

Literally my first fic in the fandom, first smut fic, and first Bonnie fic. I haven’t reread it in a while so it’s probably not that great but I do at some point plan to go back to this and finish my original concept. Also warning,it has cheating which I’m realizing is a theme with me, lol. 

  • Life (Sh*t) Happens

    Bonnie’s at Whitmore University when her life complicates. Her affair with her college professor ends when her friendship with her best friend is on the rocks all the while having to deal with her annoying never shuts up neighbor who’s cable ran out.

Current fic I’m working on hopefully I can get an update out soon.

  • Outlaws

    In the 30s Kai Parker has been exiled from the Gemini coven and is living a life of crime traveling across America leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. He ends up in Mystic Falls during one of his travels and meets Bonnie Bennett, a witch who’s had a lot of misfortune. They have a connection that takes them on a journey neither expected.

My Bonkai Bonie & Clyde AU that I need to get back to soon as well. 

  • The Witch and The Werewolf: The full moon was a charged time for both werewolf and witches alike. For witches it was a time to seek the truth and for werewolves it was the time when their true selves would be revealed.Neither Bonnie nor Tyler saw the connection until the blood moon they crossed paths

This was essentially smut to help sate my Tonnie Craving. 

  • Wet Dreams

    Looking back on it, Bonnie can say losing her virginity at 14 wasn’t the best idea.

Another self indulgent Tonnie fic to sate my craving. 

Shennett opt meme

bonkai-coven:

  • Which one sexts like a straight white boy? Both. They purposefully try to sext like straight white boys as a joke but it lowkey still turns them on.
  • Which one cried during a fucking disney movie? Bonnie. She’s a squishy little jelly bean and disney movies make her feel all the emotions.
  • Who put a goddamned fork in the microwave? Atticus. Forks, spoons, aluminium foil, you name it. He’s always putting stupid stuff in the microwave and then acts surprised when it starts making explosive sounds and Bonnie’s like “Nice job, Professor.”
  • Who does the silly hands-over-the-eyes “Guess who” thing? Bonnie.
  • Who puts their cold hands/feet on their partner? Atticus, but Bonnie doesn’t mind. She takes his cold hands in hers and rubs them until he warms up.
  • Who had that embarassing Reality TV marathon? Atticus. He loves watching The Voice. Bonnie teases him about it and he’s always like “I watch it ironically. I don’t actually like it.” But she knows that’s not true because he gets really bummed out when his favourite contestant is eliminated and he sulks around for the rest of the day.
  • Who laughs more during sex? Bonnie. She gets all giggly when she remembers that they’re basically living out the naughty professor fantasy.
  • WHO IS THE LITTLE SPOON? Bonnie. She likes to do a lot of butt wiggling and feels smug when Atticus gets all hot and bothered.

captainimfangirling:

Before you shipped Bonkai, who did you ship Bonnie with? Beremy for me. Maybe Konnie but I needed more scenes between them.

So I wasn’t all that attached to any ship on TVD before Bonkai due to being a really casual viewer of the show, but if there’s one ship that jumps out at me as something went hard for in terms of Bonnie it would be Shennett, or what I like calling Bane because that’s a cooler name.

I know that’s kinda a weird answer since he’s kinda a small blimp of character, and one that used her at that, but that was my jam back in the day. No other ship really jumped out at me until them and I remember really wanting her to go out with the college professor.

I was not happy that they just placed her back with Jeremy and not even because the whole cheating thing, but because the show always insinuated that he was her only option which is something I picked up on when I didn’t look that deep into the show. I think that was the first time I was really disappointed that they didn’t go the route that I wanted. Like I said a very casual viewer, so I didn’t really think of the show past when I watched it let alone to think about alternate storylines to the show.

Because i dont really feel like writing out the reasons I liked the ship this link pretty is where I explain everything about it: https://scorpio-karma.tumblr.com/post/171328657394/albion19-scorpio-karma-bonwhynot

But yeah, I was never all that into Beremy, pretty meh on Luca, and definitely didn’t go for Jaime (although I was excited to see Arnaz again and hoped he’d be on longer). Shane to me was the first viable potential love interest for Bonnie for me that I still think about today–it’s why he’s her first LI interest in my story.

What do you think of Bonnie x Prof. Shane? I know a lot of people were sqwicked out by it, especially since he turns out to be another guy using her, but had they gone the romantic route in s4 do you think it’d have been good? I always thought it’d be a great pairing for her, but not a lasting one. Like she would learn a lot from it which is why I wanted it to happen but weirdly so it could end. I thought it could serve in her development especially since he was written in for her.

leianaberrie:

If
you remove the fact that he was another guy using her, and just left him being
Sheila’s former protégé and he was just a human whose only agenda was his
interest/fascination in the supernatural – yes, that would have been a good ‘growth’
relationship for Bonnie. Thinking about it as I type, this ship has a lot going
for it. For one, as you said, he was one of the few characters written for
Bonnie – although you can argue that he was more specifically written as a
pathway for Bonnie to get her magic in order to service Elena (the Cure) and
he had a pre-existing relationship with Sheila which would have been a great
pathway for Bonnie to explore her history. If you want to go meta, there’s an
analogy there about contemporary POCs needing to access their own history via
White men. It would have been interesting to see the show use Bonnie and Shane’s
relationship to navigate/explore that. Much like it would have been interesting
to use the tomb vampires to navigate/explore property theft/exploitation/rewriting
history and Bonnie’s Bennett history with Mystic Falls to explore how white
people erase the contributions of pocs, specifically black people in history.
Even the usually squicky older!Professor/student hang-ups are averted since
Shane wasn’t her teacher or in a position of authority over her. Furthermore, if
you take out the unnecessarily humiliating dead-wife-and-son reveal, you can
even argue that Bonnie was using Shane, not the other way around since she
wanted access to forbidden magic and he was the means to do that.  

I
won’t have wanted it as endgame for sure. He’s not pretty enough (lol) and he’s
not powerful enough. Bonnie would have eventually outgrown him, and moved on to
something bigger and more bad-ass.

It
kind of goes to show that the storylines they start Bonnie off with aren’t
necessarily bad. It’s the way they choose to execute them that sucks. Like when
you think about it, what value did Shane’s dead-wife-and-son add to the
storyline? Nothing. He might as well have been motivated by mundane curiosity/
fascination with magic. There was absolutely no need for him to have been
written that way but to shit on Bonnie.

I think the dead wife and kid was supposed to add to the cult mentality Shane had towards Silas, but they’re not used consistently enough for it to have that effect. He has one conversation with his dead wife and that convinces him to be a murderer??? And even more so without that one conversation we really wouldn’t have known otherwise that he was grieving these people.

For me what I really liked about Shane is how separate he was from the whole MFG. Like you noted the development she could have had, but even better it was development that the MFG couldn’t invade in on–in fact they shouldn’t have had. When his plots start coinciding with Damon and Elena it’s very unnatural. I always complain about the fact that in 4×04 neither Elena or Damon should have been there, they had absolutely no reason to be at Whitmore other than to invade Bonnie’s development which is a consistent problem. I liked the possibility of her going off and doing her own thing but we know that was never going to happen and if did she’d just be off screen for a handful of episodes (which she was). 

Bonnie’s Alternate Wardrobe: Season 4

The Eclectic Year

I can’t believe you wrote a book!
