Damon Salvatore/Stefan Salvatore is the incestuous pairing of brother Stefan Salvatore and Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries fandom.

Canon

In the show and the books, the two brother are often rivals but share a close familial bond due to their shared experiences and genuine affection for one another.

Fandom

I cant help but ship Defan. It’s scenes like those where i forget about this whole stupid Stelena vs Delena thing because it’s Stefan and Damon. [...] It’s scenes like “It won’t be because he loves me, it’ll be because he loves you.” and “Maybe I just need my little brother” that will always get me to route for those two.

The brothers have a canon history of vying for the affections of a woman, first Katherine Pierce and later Elena Gilbert. Some Defan shippers believe that their relationship as brothers often suffers due to their romantic interests, and other believe their bond is more lasting than their other romantic attachments.

That been said, threesome fics can pair Damon and Stefan with one of their canon love interests, usually either Elena or Katherine.
