MY OTP IS PERFECT- a Forwood master post

Soooo many Forwood feelings after that last episode, guys. Can we all agree that Tyler Lockwood is the best boyfriend ever for risking his life to make Caroline's prom dreams come true? I mean look at how they both just relax into each other for the moment before they're forced apart again, how they're trying to cover up their sadness about it in the end.

Why the heck do i ship this tragic star-crossed couple so hard? It's borderline masochistic, rooting for TC- they've spent more time apart than together even when they're technically a couple. So let me try to explain- I've collected a bunch of fics and meta here in a coherent post instead of scattered in my memories and all over my tumblr.
