Yeah I was always more of a Stelena shipper, but I thought that Delena had a good build-up in seasons 1 and 3 (wasn't such a big fan in season 2 admittedly), but the writing for them as a couple as been all over the place ever since they introduced the sire bond. For Elena too :(

And thanks for the recs! I'm thinking of giving Winter Soldier a try. I didn't dislike The Avengers exactly, it had some good bits and I remember it getting better towards the end, but yeah overall I wasn't particularly engaged. I convinced my sister and brother-in-law to see it with me after I read all of the gushing on my flist, and they were kind of side-eyeing me afterwards for my choice because none of us were particularly into it :P
