His thoughts from interview:

Elijah is all about keeping the family together, but you can only be stabbed in the back, or in their case, in the heart, so many times. What have you enjoyed about the sibling dynamic between Elijah and Klaus?

Elijah is clearly sick. He’s clearly demented in that he pledges allegiance to this man, because there doesn’t seem to be any apparent reason why he would give himself to his brother. Klaus has demonstrated nothing in the show that constitutes that kind of devotion. I’ve made a decision, because I’ve sort of been forced to, that Elijah is sick. He feels in some way that he betrayed his brother for not rescuing him all those centuries ago from his fate. I think he’ll never be able to forgive himself for that. That act of non-forgiveness mutated into this self-loathing. It’s pathological. Elijah’s ill to want to keep returning to someone who clearly has no interest in his happiness or well-being.

Can Elijah be pushed too far though?
One would hope so. Otherwise, we’re creating a character that has enormous potential to be great and we’re just squandering it on nothing. Every time it seems like Elijah has said, “I’ve had enough. This is the end,” the following week it ends. He’s forgotten. That’s his illness. He has this amnesia week-to-week about all these betrayals. I think they are going to take it to a place where he finally reaches enough. He just has to reach a place of critical mass. Something has to break with this much abuse. Elijah has to reconcile himself with the fact that life has continued and it wasn’t necessarily his fault that these terrible things happened to his brother.

pretty art.
For me the most important relationship on the show will forever be Klaus/Elijah

En un pays de légende.

can't agree for myself personally... its important but I don't think its #1 for me... I don't even know if I have a #1.

I do know that I don't buy this devotion or anything all the time. Considering everything that's happened

To me the most important relationship in the show is between Klaus/Elijah/Rebekah

the relationship is important but I guess for me I don't know if I've had a relationship I've considered more important than another...

ones I ship or don't? Hell yes... but more important? I don't know.

It certainly is towards the top for me

I just find it really impressive that after 1000 years they are still together.
They went through a lot of crap, hurt each other a lot and still are together.
Relationship between other Mikaelson siblings are all ruined: Finn tried to kill everyone, no one gave a damn he spent 900 years in a coffin. Kol tried to kill Bekah, even Elijah didn't care he got killed, Bekah got over his death in 5 minutes. Bekah said that Klaus hated Kol.
Rebekah spent a lot of time in a coffin and yet Elijah didn't care enough to put his foot down and demand Klaus release her.
Elijah is the only one who didn't get daggered throughout 1000 years. He is too precious for Klaus to spend even a week without him

Elijah got over everything Klaus' mood swings threw at him: Tatia, Celeste, Katherine, god knows what else happened.
No, for me The originals will always be about one relationship Klaus/Elijah
