Elena Gilbert might be the main character in The Vampire Diaries, but her romances aren’t the most important relationships. Damon and Stefan Salvatore’s brotherly bond is the heart and soul of the show — even if they hate each other a lot of the time.

When the show opens, the brothers are at odds thanks to a century-old feud over both Katherine and vampirism in general. The progress of their relationship isn’t exactly linear — and there’s plenty of violence involved — but their actions and words still make it clear how they really feel.

Stefan Tries To Fix Damon And Elena’s Relationship

It’s hard to imagine this conversation ever happening for the first four seasons. Elena is Stefan’s girlfriend until early season 4, and he doesn’t react well to her ultimately choosing Damon over him. However, his relationship with Damon prevails and by season 5’s “500 Years Of Solitude,” Stefan is giving his brother relationship advice.

Urging Damon to fix whatever’s going on between him and Elena, Stefan insists that she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. It’s one of the rare relaxed conversations between the pair and a sign of how much Stefan loves his brother.

Stefan And Damon Talk After Jeremy’s Death

Jeremy’s death in season 4 may not have been permanent, but it’s still one of the most heartbreaking deaths in The Vampire Diaries. Having seen how much her brother’s death affects Elena, Damon and Stefan share a quiet moment where they count themselves lucky.

It’s not what’s said in this scene that makes it so moving; rather, it’s what’s left unsaid. Damon insists that without her brother, he isn’t enough for Elena’s humanity. Each brother silently notes how they feel to the other. It’s the closest they’ve come to say that they love each other since Damon’s return in season 1. This marks plenty of progress in their repaired relationship.

Their Reunion In 1942

After Damon declares he’ll give Stefan an “eternity of misery” for making him a vampire, the brothers spent very little time together in the 1900s. One of the rare occasions that they do comes in 1942 when Lexi encourages Stefan to make amends.

Despite Damon’s promise, he’s noticeably happy to see Stefan. The pair embrace and spend some time bonding, and Damon decides to go to war to fight by his brother’s side. However, after talking to Lexi, he seemingly abandons Stefan in order to not disrupt his “Ripper-detox” program. Damon was rarely selfless in this century, so it’s a hugely symbolic move for how much he really cares about Stefan’s wellbeing.

Stefan Begs Damon Not To Desiccate Himself

Losing Elena had a huge impact on Damon. Without the love of his life, he struggled to stay on the right path — and numerous people got hurt along the way. And so, in season 7, he decides to desiccate until she wakes up.

This upsets multiple people, but especially Stefan. He begs his brother not to leave, reminding Damon how much he’s fought for him first over the years. Stefan always puts Damon first, which is exactly what makes it so heartbreaking when Damon doesn’t do it for him in this instance.

Stefan Gets Marked For Damon

In season 7, Damon is led to believe that he’s burnt the cursed body of Elena — and he’s not the only one devastated. Stefan is furious with his brother, physically attacking him and holding a more than understandable grudge against Damon.

Despite that, Stefan still rushes to Damon’s aid when he nearly gets himself killed by Rayna. He’s marked by her sword as a result, which dooms him to an eternity on the run. It says a lot that even when one brother has done potentially the worst thing imaginable — supposedly killing the girl they both loved — the other is still willing to go to the ends of the earth to protect him.

Damon Tracks Down Stefan Trapped In A Human Body

Damon and Stefan have a lot to work through in season 7 and at one point, it seems like they might never get the chance. Stefan’s soul is put into a random human body, in which he struggles to survive as he treks through a winter’s night on the phone to Damon.

As he races to reach Stefan on time, Damon finally owns up to everything he should’ve apologized for long ago. He’s let Stefan down multiple times and only wanted to become a better person for Elena. In the final moments, before he collapses, Stefan admits that he doesn’t believe Damon will be there for him — that’s the pattern of their relationship. He’s proven wrong, but it’s a sign of just how deep the damage continues to run in their bond.

Damon Breaks Down Over Stefan’s Death

Although it isn’t the first time Stefan dies in The Vampire Diaries, Damon is devastated when he seemingly dies for good in season 5. After Julian rips out Stefan’s heart, Damon — along with the usual Mystic Falls crew — tries desperately to find a way to save him from the Other Side, which is collapsing.

Damon is the most personally motivated of the bunch. Smashing up the room, he threatens Bonnie to find the solution as he painfully reminds her, “My brother is over there.” It’s the kind of fervor that’s usually reserved for occasions where Elena is in danger, which makes it one of Damon’s most desperate moments.

Damon Returns From The Prison World

Nobody stays dead in Mystic Falls. However, Stefan still believes Damon is truly gone when he’s trapped on the Other Side in season 5. For the first few episodes of season 6, he’s abandoned his friends to live a solo life as a mechanic and work through his pain by provoking strangers into fights.

His grief only gets harder when Elena — the only other person who really understands his loss — erases her memories to get through the pain. Thankfully, he doesn’t suffer alone for long. Damon returns, rendering Stefan speechless before they embrace. Nothing needs to be said in this moment; the heartbreaking relief on Stefan’s face says it all.

Stefan Sacrifices Himself For Damon

Nina Dobrev’s return could easily have made the finale all about Elena. Instead, the focus is firmly on Stefan and Damon. As they try to stop Katherine from destroying Mystic Falls with hellfire, it seems like Damon will die so his brother can enjoy married life with Caroline. He finally tells Stefan that he loves him and insists he’ll now be the big brother that he always should have been.

However, Stefan injects him with the Cure at the last minute and sacrifices himself instead. The Salvatores wouldn’t be the Salvatores without conflict. The fact that their final fight is to decide who gets to die for the other really is the ultimate proof of how much they care.

Damon Finds Peace With Stefan In The Afterlife

The final scene of The Vampire Diaries sees it come full-circle. Damon’s return — and greeting of “Hello, brother” — kicks off the action in season 1. The same thing wraps up the show for good, as Damon and Stefan reunite at the Salvatore Boarding House in the afterlife.

Damon is terrified that this won’t be possible, thanks to all the pain he caused in his life as a vampire. The fact that they both define “finding peace” as finding each other once again makes this the most powerful scene in the entire show.
