Hayley and I will return home and take care of my wayward brother. Elijah will remain here with you. THE ORIGINALS 2X10 Gonna Set Your Flag on Fire

[klaus-littlestwolf]

Hi, I was wondering if I can make a request about an Elijah story?

Could yo do one in which reader is with Klaus but Elijah wants her, even one day he masturbates thinking about her and reader catches him but she thinks it's just a misunderstanding but Elijah can't be any more honorable so he says "you know if don't leave the room right now my hand won't be the one that will be on my cock" while touching continues, reader stays still but then leaves and from there you can continue the story, I would like to see some jealousy from both parties. I love your stories btw

Jealousy is Destructive

Elijah had never been a jealous person.

However lately he was having trouble with being around Klaus and his mate. She’s a lovely little werewolf, always happy and cheerful, she never fails to cheer someone up which really is perfect when she’s dating his brother.

But Elijah can’t help but want her.

Y/n was sweet to him, and while he desperately wanted to read into it, she’s sweet to everyone, something that drives Niklaus up the wall quite often since so many men enjoy her. Elijah tried to push his feelings down, knowing how good Y/n is for his little brother, he’s been on his best behavior since the day they met and she makes him smile in a way Elijah hadn’t seen since they were human.

He would spend as much time with his brothers mate as he could, often taking up her days when Klaus was out doing something villainous, recommending new books for her to read and spending time watching movies she insisted he “needs to see”. Klaus didn’t seem to mind those moments, often even thanking him for keeping Y/n happy and entertained while he couldn’t though it made the elder Mikaelson feel wrought with guilt later that night when he found his hand disobeying him and wrapping around his length desperately as he pictured the werewolf girl in the cute little pajama shorts she wears around the house, his eyes wandering when they ride up her ass too far. Honestly he hasn’t had his hand on his cock this much since he was a teenager.

Niklaus and Y/n had been together for almost 6 months when anyone found out about his little crush and sadly it was Y/n.

It was his fault, he had told her she was always welcome in his room whenever she needed something and she did just that when Klaus unexpectedly went out to chase down the Salvatore’s over something.

As she approached his room she could hear him say her name and she assumed he heard her coming so she just walked into the room, gasping loudly as she found him with his hand wrapped around his cock. ‘Oh Shit! I’m So Sorry!’

‘Y/n!’ He exclaimed, grabbing a pillow and covering himself, not that she hadn’t already seen everything.

‘I heard you say my name! I thought you heard me coming, I’m sorry! Why…why did you-‘

‘Don’t ask! Just go! Please?!’ With that, she turned and slammed the door shut behind her, taking off down the hallway back to Klaus’ room.

Later that evening Elijah entered the kitchen to see Klaus and Y/n making dinner together and he froze, waiting for his brothers rage to wash over him, waiting for the dagger that would inevitably find his heart, but it did not happen, in fact Klaus just looked at him sideways.

‘Why are you just standing there?’ He wondered and Y/n looked up, blushing but quickly moving on.

‘We just finished making dinner, do you want some spaghetti, Elijah?’ She offered and he smiled.

‘That sounds wonderful Y/n, thank you.’ She fixed him a plate and he relaxed with the knowledge that they were moving on from it.

The moment of relief was gone quickly however, as Klaus noticed the dark blush on his mates face. ‘What’s going on?’ He questioned and she looked up at him.

‘What do you mean?’ She asked as she handed Elijah his plate of food.

‘I mean you’re blushing and your heart is going a million miles a minute, and Elijah is acting strange even for Elijah.’ He teased but Elijah could sense his underlying seriousness.

‘Nothing is going on Baby, don’t worry about it. Now, we need Parmesan.’ She spoke but the Hybrids eyes hardened.

‘I don’t like being lied to Y/n, you know that very well. What am I supposed to think when you’re hiding something from me?’ Klaus was seconds away from exploding and they could both feel it prompting Elijah to jump in and defend the girl he had so quickly and deeply fallen for.

‘It was my fault Niklaus, don’t get upset with her-‘

‘No, don’t defend me Elijah, that’s not your job. I can own up to my own mistakes.’ He snapped his mouth shut, stunned by her snap back at him. ‘Not everything is your business Niklaus, sometimes things happen and they’re awkward so people wish to move in from them without speaking about them. That doesn’t mean anyone is lying to you! You don’t get to be upset every single time you’re not privy to something.’ She was so firm and sure of herself that even Klaus seemed stunned in that moment. ‘When you left earlier I decided to spend the day watching movies with Elijah and I walked into his room without knocking. It was my mistake, I was excited to make him start Batman with me and I just forgot myself.’

‘You are very excitable, we need to work on calming you down.’ Klaus joked, clearly trying to calm her down from her snappy anger.

‘Elijah was in a…compromising position when I walked in. We just decided to move on from it and not speak of it again but of course you have to know everything! Now for the LOVE of God will someone Please get me the Parmesan?!’ They both stared at her for a moment before Elijah turned to the fridge and got out the container of grated Parmesan, handing it to her. ‘Thank you.’

‘Of course. Thank you for dinner.’ With that Elijah removed himself from the kitchen, comforted and feeling lucky that Y/n is such a sweet girl to protect him from his brothers wrath like that.

The next day Klaus slipped out for a few hours and Elijah came downstairs to find Y/n turning on the Batman movie and smiling at him when he sat beside her.

They had gotten 20 minutes in before either of them said anything. ‘Y/n, I just wanted to-‘

‘Don’t. Don’t you dare thank me. I didn’t lie to Nik, I just didn’t tell him one detail of the incident. That’s all, because I knew what he would do to you if he found out you were thinking about me.’

‘I didn’t mean for you to ever-‘

‘I know, you’re too good a person for that, but if it happens again I will not hide it, understand? We are moving on from this, I get it, it’s not a big deal that you thought about me once and I shouldn’t have walked in on you. However. If you ever, and I do mean Ever, make a pass at me, touch me, or insinuate in anyway that you want to be anything more than the best friends that we are I will dagger you myself.’ He stared at her in complete shock, not knowing how to respond. ‘I love your brother with all my heart, and while I don’t want you hurt, I would rather you in a box than Nik thinking we are anything other than we are and that is best friends, I don’t want to lose that. I love having you as my best friend Elijah���never more than that.’

‘Of course. I understand. It was a one time thing, it won’t happen again. I…I don’t want to lose you either and I love how happy you make Niklaus. You make him happy in ways I haven’t seen since he was a child. We will forget yesterday ever happened.’

‘Good. Now, back to Batman.’

Y/n didn’t know how badly Elijah’s heart was breaking as she told him all of this but he would never let it show, he couldn’t.

Neither of them however knew about the Original Hybrid listening to their conversation from the foyer one room over. He wanted to be angry for them keeping this from him but…he couldn’t.

He couldn’t fault Y/n for wanting to preserve her friendship with his brother. She had given up all of her friendships to be with him, the entire Scooby Gang turning on her when she told them that she’s with him.

And most of all he couldn’t fault his brother. Klaus knows first hand how easy it is to fall for Y/n as he had done it himself almost as soon as they met. Elijah is a hopeless romantic, he’ll get over it and find another women to pine over soon enough. Until then however, popping in on their movie nights would have to become a tradition for him he realized, crawling under the blanket with Y/n and watching Batman Begins alongside them for the rest of the evening.

Wildflower

Pairing: Klaus x Camille (referenced, past) x Elijah.

Warning: Contains themes of grief and loss.

Summary: inspired by the song "Wildflower" Set in New Orleans' French Quarter, this story follows Klaus Mikaelson one year after Camille O'Connell's death. Struggling with grief, Klaus is comforted by his brother Elijah.

Klaus stood within the French Quarter, gazing up at an artist painting. The night was enchanting, with streets illuminated by the gentle glow of lanterns and the soft melody of jazz filling the air.

His lips were drawn in a tense line, his blue eyes revealing profound sorrow. Time had shattered his heart; she had been his girl, and he had wanted to show her the world. He had loved her with all of his icy heart, and she had molded him in countless ways. Closing his eyes as the nighttime breeze tousled his hair, a lone tear slipped down his cheek.

He shouldn't be putting it all behind him, should he? But how could he move on when she had been the one who had most changed him into the person he was now? Life moved fast, and without her by his side, each day grew more difficult.

Turning his gaze away from the painting, Klaus found himself suddenly face to face with Elijah. With a flick of his hand, he brushed away the tear that had dared to fall.

"Niklaus..." Elijah gently whispered, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder, fully aware of the significance of the day.

"It has been a full year now, Elijah, since she slipped through my fingers. Time moves so fast."

Elijah nodded in recognition, gesturing towards a nearby bench. Both brothers took a seat, Klaus with his gaze fixed on the pavement.

"Her image haunts my mind, a constant fever that never breaks."

Elijah moved closer, resting a hand on his brother's shoulder. "In the centuries we have resided in this world, we have experienced losses and grief. It is all part of this eternal existence. It never becomes simpler; all we can strive to do is honor their memories. Niklaus, I vow to you that the pain will eventually lessen."

Listening to his words, Klaus's head slumped onto his brother's shoulder, tears welling in his eyes a vulnerable side that he rarely showed. All Elijah could do in that moment was hold him, allowing them to share this moment, ultimately strengthening their bond even more.

"What if we gathered some wildflowers and laid them upon her tombstone?" Elijah suggested, his hand moving lightly over Klaus's back as he let out intermittent sobs.

Klaus met Elijah's gaze, his eyes heavy with sorrow and puffy from tears, his hair tousled. He wiped away the tears, quiet whimpers replacing his sobs. "Those flowers shall be plucked. I've not set foot there in ages, unable to bear the sight of her name etched upon that tombstone."

Rising from the bench, they both started to stroll towards the location where Elijah recalled they could gather flowers. "This is why I stand by your side, Niklaus. You don't have to face this alone."

Grateful for Elijah's presence, they walked through the untamed blooms. Elijah stooped to pick some white and orange flowers while Klaus observed. Eventually, Klaus also bent down and discovered a unique white flower with hints of blue. In the end, they had assembled a lovely collection of flowers, each boasting a unique array of colors.

Klaus inhaled the scent of the flowers, his eyes briefly closing. "They are beautiful, Niklaus. Camille would have adored them," Elijah said softly. Klaus silently agreed as they both headed towards the Lafayette Cemetery.

Klaus knelt by Camille's tombstone, gently brushing off the leaves that had settled on it. "I miss you, my love," he whispered, his voice filled with longing. Elijah bent down next to his brother, gently offering the flowers to him.

"Always and forever, I will do better, I promise." Klaus gently set the wildflowers near her tombstone, softly pressing a kiss against the name delicately carved in the stone.

"You have not been forgotten," Elijah softly spoke as they stood up, taking one final look at the tombstone before walking away from the cemetery. Klaus struggled once again to control his emotions, especially as he moved further from the cemetery, feeling like he was leaving her behind.

[crimsonlyinglilly]

Klaus also ruined Elijah's chances with Katherine too, making it all about him. Like, yes Elijah was upset with Katherine about Jeremy but he still Asked Klaus for Katherine's freedom and for the chance to be with her, to love her and Klaus still denied him and said he would hunt Katherine down and kill her in front of Elijah.

Also, if you look at the timelines, Elijah is daggered and with Marcel when Klaus and Rebekah make their trip to Mystic Falls to mock Katherine at her deathbed. So even then, Klaus takes that away from Elijah. (Unintentionally this time, but we all know he would have kept it from him if he wasn't daggered as well.)

Klaus genuinely does not respect Elijah as a person, and you can see it in their interactions. Elijah respects him, but it's a one-way street. Elijah was only allowed to pursue Hayley because it was beneficial to Klaus. If it wasn't? Then he'd have put a violent end to it just like he did to all of Elijah's previous relationships. Katherine only escaped a violent death because she was smart, quick-witted, and cunning.

Yes but since the post was about Hayley I kept my thoughts about the mess that was the end of them all.

I'm going to use your ask to cover two things if you don't mind, the complicated tangle of co-dependency between of Elijah&Klaus, and why I don't think Elijah and Katherine would have worked at that point in time.

Just a disclaimer these are all my own opinions.

Elijah&Klaus are both as unhealthily attached as each other, and that can be blamed completely on Esther and Mikael, Elijah was born and grew up in the shadow of Freya's loss.

Klaus and the younger siblings were the only ones that didn't look at him and see where she should be. Klaus even as a baby was likely the first person to love him without a weight attached and Esther seemingly pushing looking after the younger one onto him didn't help.

Elijah never learnt to be a person on his own, he learn he could only be worthy of love if he proved himself, if he earned it, and from the start, it was earned by looking after his sibling something he never stopped.

And Klaus went from treasured golden child to failure in Mikael's eyes and just clung to Elijah more, the same way he likely saw Rebekah and Henrik as his to protect Elijah was his, Elijah saw his being unable to protect Klaus from Mikael, even though he he was a child, as failures he need to make up for.

After Henrik's death and becoming vampires Klaus clung tighter to Elijah and Rebekah.

I do disagree Klaus does respect Elijah as a person, if he wasn't a person of his Klaus wouldn't be as paranoid about Elijah leaving him as he is.

Elijah is Klaus' everything; what he looks up to, the one to catch him when he fails, to reinsure him, it's just over the centuries that's grown twisted so much that Klaus can't imagine Elijah not being there for him, can't allow it.

Even when he had the others daggered and in boxes, he left Elijah free. He never seems to leave him dagger for too long because he need Elijah there, he saw Katherine as a threat of losing that, a ghost of the first person to get between them, Tatia, and someone who had already taken something from him(500 years free of his curse) and so he was as spiteful as he could be to her and Elijah about her.

Your right about Hayley though and the fact Rebekah was aware Klaus was allowing Hayley and Elijah to be together to keep control over Elijah was kind of insulting for the one whose so vocal in getting her own freedom with Klaus.

Personality the best choice to show Klaus having grown to respect Elijah's choices with the choices the show had taken was if he had left Elijah alone with amnesia. Elijah was happy and free of Klaus and the weight their parents raised him with but he didn't he dragged Elijah back and refused to let him go until he remembered knowing it was basically killing him after Hayley's death.

But Klaus made no real attempt to stop Elijah's suicide and in the end Elijah never recovered his childhood conditioning and died with Klaus as Klaus always wanted in a way.

---

Elijah and Katherine, are a great pair of characters and a interesting ship but for me it would only work after Katherine has spend time, safe to unlearn the ruthlessness she'd needed to be. As Elijah says she allowed it to turn her into a version of the monster she fled and while he's never going to admit to the toxic abusive relationship he has with Klaus anymore then he would escape it, I think he's wise enough not to step from one into another.

On an unrelated note Elijah's sympathy for Elena, about Jeremy was overdone, since she and her friends had played a part in the death of two of his brothers, the same that he had been looking for, for decades, and been pushed to plot to kill Niklaus to avenged.

I think Elijah asked for her freedom from Klaus, to give them a chance, first for Katherine to recover some of who she was and then for them to build something, but Klaus would never of allowed it because he felt his ties on Elijah slipping away.

Katherine has spend 5 centuries running using everything she has to to survive and Elijah's far to used to letting himself be used, thanks to his childhood and his siblings for even longer than, he believes he can only be loved if he's useful. Even if Katherine didn't want to she would use him, it's second nature to her now and he's far to used to accepting that.

In 'Lost Gods' it works because Katherine's free of the ruthlessness she learnt because she knows she doesn't need it as a god, and Elijah's free of the conditioning he was raised to only view himself of worthy of love if he's useful.

and thank you for the timelines reminder it will be very useful for Grandfather Elijah, the only other of my fics that Katherine is a main part of.(Currently)

Thank you for your question. ♥️

Feel free to DM me you you want to talk more.

Day 18: Stockholm Syndrome

Day 18! I think this one might be the longest thing I've written so far, which is uhh.. yeah. Stockholm Syndrome is an interesting prompt, bc when going with TVD... I think probably the best examples are Klaus and Elijah's relationship. There was a part of me that just wanted to make this a small thing, and just write "Klelijah: Just fucking look at them".

But nope, I've written a whole thing for it! I had an idea for this AU, but then, I had another one that would arguably be worse, but ultimately it doesn't apply to this particular fic

So yeah, this is a new AU called Runaway Treasures.

This is ABO, Klaus is an Alpha, Elijah's a Beta, and the doppelgängers were all Betas bc I had to decide on what I wanted to do with those.

The relationship present is Klelijah, in a romantic sense, bc i wanted to try it lol

Content warnings: Abuse, and all the usual shit that comes with Klelijah

Hope you enjoy!

Elijah had spent a lot of time working his way towards being acknowledged and respected. It was hard, he could admit, his gender as an Omega working against him, but it did work, eventually. All of the supernatural community knew of him, at least, as the Honourable Original. And whilst he wouldn’t call himself that, Elijah couldn’t deny that the title had come in handy at times.

Like now, with one of his underlings leading him towards a guest. Trefor, he believed this one was called, but then Elijah’s breath was taken away by the girl he’d brought Elijah to. She looked exactly like Tatia, and for a split second, Elijah thought back to his friend.

The Beta woman had been a good friend, and Elijah deeply regretted what had happened to her. It shocked him for a moment, seeing her face here, in this century, before Elijah’s brain kicked back online, and he remembered about her doppelgängers.

Women descended from his friend, who looked exactly like her, even down to their dynamic. The scent was different, Elijah noted idly, but everything else seemed exactly the same. Her voice was different too, he noticed as this women before him, Katerina, as Trefor introduced them, spoke.

Human, too, Elijah was pleased to realise. His mate would be happy about that, at least. And what a coincidence, that this doppelgänger had shown up at this celebration, of all times. Officially, it was a birthday party for his mate. Unofficially, it was a celebration of their anniversary, although Elijah had requested something a little more… Low-key, for this year. Clearly, Niklaus had ignored that.

It wasn’t the first time his lover had ignored Elijah’s requests, so Elijah elected not to let it bother him, although it didn’t stop him from wishing Niklaus a happy birthday when the Alpha finally showed up. The warning glance he got told Elijah he’d be wishing he hadn’t said that, later, but Elijah let that pass him by, as well.

There was a slim chance that Niklaus might forget, after all, when he saw Elijah’s gift.

Delight bloomed over Niklaus’ face when Elijah introduced Katerina, enough that he barely spared his mate a glance at the full name. And he abandoned Elijah, as well, choosing to walk off with the doppelgänger instead.

To charm her, no doubt. He’d need her to be entirely trusting of them, when the time came for the ritual. Elijah pretended that it didn’t bother him, the way that his mate had so cleanly blown him off. On their anniversary, as well!

He pretended that he didn’t see the pitying glances from a few of the vampires around him, although he did note their faces for later. He wasn’t some harmless Omega, who could only rely on his Alpha to do things. It was as though they didn’t remember that Elijah was older than Niklaus, even if he’d been stupid enough to mate with the vampire.

He didn’t see his mate the rest of the night, nor did he see the doppelgänger girl, either. After the party, Elijah took himself to his room, shared with Niklaus, and waited for his mate to return.

Niklaus did not return to bed that night.

Nor the next.

An ugly feeling started churning in Elijah’s stomach, but he pushed it down. Niklaus had not strayed from him, for all the centuries they had been mated, and Elijah didn’t believe he would start now. No matter that they had had plans to mate with Tatia, before, and this girl he was spending all his time with looked just like her.

Elijah had to cling to his belief, to his hope, that nothing had happened between them. He needed to. Else he would lose his composure, his famed self-control, and the mansion they were staying in would be bathed in blood as he lost himself in his emotions.

The third night, Niklaus returned to their bed. He was drunk, and smelled of the doppelgänger. Stunk of her, really. Not in the way that would mean that they’d slept together, thankfully, but just in the sense that he’d spent so much time with her.

“I’m heading to Spain,” Elijah announced, wondering if Niklaus would care. “I heard Kol and Rebekah are there at the moment, and I wish to join them,”

It seemed that if Elijah had left in the days prior, Niklaus wouldn’t have even noticed, too caught up in his new toy. And he wasn’t lying, their siblings were in Spain, and Elijah did miss them, but privately, he could admit to himself that the reason he was leaving was because he felt slighted by Niklaus’ actions.

“What?” Niklaus’ head shot up. “No!”

“And why not?”

“I forbid it! You’re not going to Spain, Elijah, and that’s final!”

Elijah pressed his lips together, but didn’t continue the argument. There was no changing Niklaus’ mind, and he didn’t feel like trying his mate’s patience at this time. Vampires they may be, Niklaus was still rather vicious, and Elijah disliked covering up the injuries that he caused, even if it was just for a day.

Just leave, Rebekah had told him once, helping him patch himself back up after another temper tantrum from their brother. I know he’s your mate, but he hurts you, ‘Lijah. Just come with me.

He’d refused her, then. And Elijah knew if she asked again now, he’d refuse her again. He knew why Niklaus lashed out, and he could take it. They were mates, they promised to stand by each other. Elijah didn’t want to leave him alone in the world, like Rebekah had suggested. It’d only be worse when they got back, anyways, and Elijah couldn’t stay away from Niklaus for long, no matter what he did.

Sometimes, Elijah found himself wishing that Niklaus would punch him, rather than just use his words. When he was hurt, Niklaus apologised, and was the sweetest Alpha Elijah could ever ask for, until he next grew mad. But sometimes, with the smaller things, Niklaus refused to acknowledge that they were his fault, and he didn’t seem to realise that his hurtful words deserved an apology as well.

Once, he’d mentioned this to Rebekah. She’d nearly gone to try and take their brother’s head off, despite their immortality. It had only been Elijah pulling her back that had made her stop, and even then, she’d been cold towards Niklaus for the rest of the week.

The next few weeks proceeded pretty normally, for Elijah. They’d had the party on the full moon, which wasn’t intentional but did help with Niklaus’ plans, at least. Still, he had his new toy, but Niklaus didn’t want to spend too much time with the doppelgänger, Katerina, so he sent out Elijah to do the work of bonding with her for him.

But this distraction was a boon for Elijah, truly. Niklaus couldn’t focus as much on Elijah as he used to, too busy tracking down the moonstone for his ritual. And, Elijah admitted to himself, Rebekah had also sent another letter for Niklaus only, which Elijah knew more than likely contained threats of what she’d do if Elijah was injured again when she returned to them.

“Why do you love him?” Katerina asked breathlessly one afternoon, after she and Elijah had played a game of tag throughout the gardens.

“He’s my mate,” Elijah pointed out. “Why shouldn’t I love him,”

They were both collapsed on the grass now, their smiles fading away in their talk. Immersed in it, Elijah failed to feel the tug of his mating bond, nor smell the Alpha coming closer. Klaus stopped, just out of sight, and observed them silently.

“No!” Katerina giggled. “I mean, why did you mate with him? I’ve never seen you do anything like courting, but you’re supposed to be married!”

“I love him,” Elijah chose his words carefully, still unaware of his mate’s eyes staring at him. “I’ve known him for what feels like my whole life. He makes me feel complete, and I couldn’t imagine a world without him, or one where I’m not by his side,”

Klaus stepped forward then, rustling the bushes he was walking by to pretend as though he hadn’t been eavesdropping. The two in front of him jumped apart, Elijah getting up quickly as well, looking for all the world as though they’d been having an affair, and not just talking.

Or, well, Klaus hoped it was just talking. If Elijah was trying to leave him, for his doppelgänger… His vision tinted red at the thought, but he managed to table it. Not long now until sunset, and with it, the full moon he needed for his ritual.

He raked his eyes across Elijah’s body in appreciation, before he led Katerina away by the hand - Klaus did love his mate, and he definitely loved looking at him. Besides, who knew what the ritual tonight would do to him? It was best to drink his fill now, even if it was just with looks, and then deal with whatever happened later.

Katerina escaped, was what happened later. Elijah hadn’t known, of course. He’d prepared the potion he’d gotten from the witches, ready to get Katerina to drink it. She was nice, and he enjoyed spending time with her. He didn’t particularly feel like letting his friend die, even though he’d had to let it happen to Tatia centuries before.

It wasn’t because he was in love with her, like Niklaus had accused him of a few times. Just because Elijah was spending more time with her than Niklaus was (time that Niklaus had told him to spend with her!), it didn’t mean that Elijah was wanting to stop being mates with him.

And it wasn’t like Elijah had known that Katerina would escape, either. He’d learned of it after Niklaus had, when his mate had held him to the wall, by his throat.

“What have you done?” His Alpha roared as he enter their side room, where Elijah was writing peacefully in his journal.

Internally, Elijah flinched at the sudden noise, and the obvious anger from his mate, but he was thankful that his body didn’t react. It wouldn’t do for him to provide Niklaus with any more reasons to be angry.

“I don’t understand,” He closed his book, placing it to one side.

It seemed as though he wouldn’t be getting to finish his writing today, not with how angry Niklaus was already. He spoke softly, as though not to disturb the silence he’d surrounded himself with, like Niklaus hadn’t already done that with his explosive entrance.

“Katerina is gone,” Niklaus nearly growled at him, coming to a stop in front of Elijah. “She has fled,”

In one fluid motion, Elijah rose from his chair, coming face-to-face with his brother. “No,” He couldn’t believe it, Katerina had seemed so happy. They’d spent the afternoon together, whilst Niklaus was off finishing his preparations for the ritual tonight, and she hadn’t given him any reason to think she wanted to run.

“What did you tell her,” Klaus snarled into his face, causing a little fear to coil into Elijah’s stomach.

This was his mate, his love, and he’d never hurt him bad, not on purpose. Fear wasn’t something he should be feeling, not when it was just the two of them. And besides, Elijah knew that he was just angry because his doppelgänger had gotten away, that they’d have to postpone the ritual once again. Niklaus was just getting tired of waiting to unlock his wolf again, Elijah reassured himself. And he was just making sure the person he took it out on could actually take it.

“I-I told her nothing,” Elijah protested. It was true, he hadn’t mentioned anything about the ritual, nothing that could’ve made her want to run.

But this wasn’t good enough for his brother. One second, they were standing eye to eye, staring into the other’s, the next, Elijah was slamming into the wall previously behind Niklaus, his mate’s hand pressing down on his throat.

Niklaus’ anger slipped through their bond, as well, making Elijah angry, and as the veins under his eyes threatened to writhe free, he watched his mate’s burst into life. Instinctively, Elijah brought his hands up to the Alpha’s, scrabbling at them, trying to release him from his throat.

The rational thought in Elijah’s head was fading, just his instincts kicking in. And his instincts were telling him, he was in danger here, and he needed the air that was being denied to him.

“DO NOT LIE TO ME!” Niklaus yelled into Elijah’s face, small droplets of spittle landing onto his mate.

He was too far gone in his anger, Elijah could feel it. He tilted his head to the side, exposing his neck, hoping that Niklaus would take the hint and bite. It only worked half the time, but when it did, it calmed Niklaus down like nothing else.

“You are my Omega,” Niklaus hissed. “And she is my doppelgänger. I should never have left you alone with her,”

His grip grew tighter around Elijah’s neck. “Niklaus,” The Omega begged, his voice gurgling from the tight grip. “Please,”

Thankfully, that worked. Niklaus released his grip, enough that Elijah could suck some air into his lungs. Even if he didn’t technically need air, as a vampire, it was calming, and he preferred being able to breathe than not.

“I-” Elijah tested out his voice. It was barely there, and for a moment, Elijah thought he saw a hint of remorse in Niklaus’ eyes.

It was okay, though. Elijah knew that Niklaus hadn’t meant to be so harsh, he was just upset. Clearly, he thought that Elijah had strayed from him, towards Katerina, and that maybe her running away was from him revealing details of the ritual to her. No matter what he said, Elijah could tell that Niklaus wasn’t going to accept the truth, so he didn’t try to explain it any further.

I will find her, Elijah projected into his mate’s mind. He knew it frustrated all of his siblings, that he could do more mental tricks than them, but he needed to use it now, since his voice was now gone. You have my word.

Although his anger, at the situation, at his mate for throwing him around, at Katerina for not just staying put so Niklaus could have access to his wolf again - it was a lot harder to hide it, when he was communicating mentally.

“And you have my word,” Niklaus leaned even closer, so their lips were barely touching. If Elijah licked his lips, his tongue would brush Niklaus’ as well. “That if you do not…

“You will be dead.”

Elijah: *looking towards the trees*

Finn: Something interesting brother?

Elijah: *coughing* Oh, nothing, I'm just...bird watching.

Rebekah, popping up between Finn and Kol, who's also joined his siblings: Really? Must be one heck of a bird to have your attention.

Elijah: *nervous laughter*

Klaus, skipping gaily towards them: Lijah! Brother, look! *holds up a cat* isn't she cute?

Rebekah shares a knowing look with Finn and Kol: Ah, I see now. Yes, definitely a "bird." A very pretty one in fact.

Finn: Exquisite taste. You've picked a fine specimen to watch.

Kol: *nodding*

Elijah: *flustered* Shut. Up. And you and your cat shut up as well Niklaus!

Klaus and the cat: *both confused*

Klaus: What? What did we do!?

The cat: Meow!? (I literally said nothing, this is discrimination man!?)

Send me a ship and I’ll tell you...

Who asks the other on dates: Dates is a bit formal, but Elijah will arrange enrichment activities they can do together

Who is the bigger cuddler: Klaus, it's not often for either, but Elijah is always there for him if he needs it. Klaus is the one crawling into Elijah's bed when everything is too much and he can't sleep. Elijah will hold him and be kind enough not to mention it the next day.

Who initiates holding hands more often: Elijah, it's not sweet though, it's to pull him back down to earth when things are getting out of control. It doesn't always work.

Who remembers anniversaries: There aren't really any, but they are both good with birthdays

Who is more possessive: Klaus, not a question

Who gets more jealous: Klaus, easily, refusing to share anything

Who is more protective: Elijah, not physically but emotionally.

Who is more likely to cheat: Klaus, impulse control issues, but also feels like it doesn't really count

Who initiates sexy times the most: Klaus

Who dislikes PDA the most: Elijah

Who kills the spider: Elijah, since they were wee lads

Who asks the the other to marry them: neither

Who buys the other flowers or gifts: They were both actually sweet this way, Klaus' love language is gifts and Elijah knows that so he tries to reciprocate

Who would bring up possibly having kids: Neither, but they might end up with one or two accidentally, like Marcel

Who is more nervous to meet the parents: lmfao

Who sleeps on the couch when the other is angry: they keep to their own rooms/spaces most of the time

Who tries to make up first after arguments: Elijah, it's Klaus Management 101

Who tells the other they love them more often: Klaus, but it's pretty close

Yes, I’ve done the work analyzing this relationship’s problematic traits and I’ve come to the educated conclusion that I still want them to fuck

Weird question: but if Katherine had just left Mystic Falls after the whole cure thing and never fought Elena, and had remained a vampire, do you think Katerina would have eventually emerged after Klaus's death to the Hollow, especially if Elijah didn't kill himself with Klaus and eventually came looking for her? Or would Elijah being alive keep her Katherine facade alive?

Interesting, it's possible, a few years of Katherine learning to just live, not survive, with Nadia could have helped.

And if Klaus and his siblings had done something about Elijah, knowing how he'd feel after getting his memories back instead of leaving him to dwell of it all.

Elijah falls hard and after so many loses and his own self blaming tendencies he would need time to grieve, especially as he would also be blaming himself for Niklaus death.

Elijah and Katherine finding each other could be a way for them both to heal.

Elijah, at an award show: Well, first of all, I’d like to thank Niklaus, the love of my life, for telling me Rebekah was going to win so don’t bother to prepare a speech.
