"Elijah, out of everyone, is the only person who's
actually forming an alliance with her, so her
biggest enemy is her c l o s e s t ally." Nina Dobrev

"God knows that she’s done things to him that he
wouldn’t have necessarily wanted to happen, but
Elijah continues to return to Elena even though
she’s effectively put a knife in him." Daniel Gillies

Reasons
01. Daniel Gillies ships it!
02. he checked out her ass
03. he was willing to negotiate with her instead of compelling
her
04. he thinks she's lovely
05. she trusted him to protect the people she loves
06. when he leaned in to sniff her we all thought he was going to kiss
her - and clearly so did Elena
07. he cradled her head, which was tender and unnecessary
08. we kept hoping he'd actually take her away
09. they make negotiating sexy
10. "I didn't want you to be taken"
11. she brought him back to life
12. she understands that Elijah is very careful with his words
13. he decided to work with her
14. she went back to him
15. he was happy to see her
16. he let her go to Jenna
17. he treats her like a lady
18. they eyesex each other like crazy
19. he knew she wouldn't want to be a vampire
20. she bragged about him to Stefan and Damon
21. he gave her the elixir
22. he stood beside her
23. when Alaric delivered Klaus' message, she looked to him
24. she sees him as the most noble vampire
25. if the roles were reversed, Elena would have done the same as Elijah to find her family
26. all of their scenes are nothing short of perfection
27. Elijah stares at Elena like he's longing for her
28. he thinks she is a miracle
29. Stefan knew that Elena was the only one who could get Elijah to help them
30. she didn't second guess when she pulled that dagger out
31. because for both of them, family is important
32. 1000+ year old "original" vampire already falling? NUFF SAID!
33. because they have mastered the art of dying.

Their Scenes
● Elijah battles Stefan and Damon for Elena; 2x08 Rose
● Elijah prevents Elena from being taken; 2x10 The Sacrifice
● Elijah strikes a deal with Elena; 2x11 By the Light of the Moon
● Elena and Elijah renegotiate; 2x15 The Dinner Party
● Elena pulls the dagger out of Elijah; 2x18 The Last Dance
● Elena and Elijah have some time alone; 2x19 Klaus
● Elijah explains his plan to save Elena; 2x20 The Last Day

I love that he is her ally. He respects her ability to make decisions for herself. He understands that it is her life and her choice. He respects her intelligence and her bravery - he's spent over half a millennium watching people run from his brother and this girl is willing to go to him and die. He respects her love for her family and friends. She recognizes that about him and so she trusts him; in this situation, I don't know if she trusts anyone more. When Alaric delivered Klaus' message, she looked to Elijah first.

This is a couple that locks it down. Lay it out, talk it through, negotiate, learn about the other, learn to trust. He got what Damon didn't, and he's only known her for less than two weeks: Elena doesn't want to become a vampire. Elena would become a risk to everyone, even if only for the first little while. She could murder people, like poor sweet Caroline did in the beginning. Elena does not want to murder people, and if she did she would have to live with that forever. Elijah - and Klaus - knew that elixir would work. He offered her more than mere survival, he offered her life. Because he knows: this girl isn't Katherine. She's willing to see this thing through to the end and make the best choice she can. - Black_Betty


Elijah and Elena. I don't even know how I went from finding them interesting to shipping them as AU to hardcore shipping them to considering them my OTP so quickly, but they stole my heart and it doesn't seem likely they'll give it back anytime soon. There's something so special about Elijah and Elena, a unique bond that comes from basically sharing one soul. They don't need to talk to understand each other, they can read each other without even trying. Their relationship started out as an alliance, but it gradually grew into respect and was on the way to becoming friendship when Elijah took off with Klaus (which nothing will convince me was a "betrayal". He walked into this plan fully intending to kill Klaus- until he was given the chance to see his family again. Who says no to that chance?)
Elijah is clearly attracted to Elena- the way he looked at her when he said "a mistake I won't make again" screamed of a man who's trying to convince himself. When he smiled the moment she came back to the Lockwood's I could practically hear his defenses crumble, only to be ruthlessly put up again when she went straight into business mode.

Elena can feel at ease with him - even more so than when she's with Stefan or Damon. Elijah doesn't coddle her, he treats her like an equal, but he doesn't surrender to her either. He challenges her, just like she challenges him. They seek each other out with their eyes when something happens- no matter who else is in the same room with them. They inevitably look at each other first.

Elijah and Elena will probably never stand a chance on the show, I know that- but nothing will take away from the fact that it's such an incredible waste. - dreamywriter19

to be grotesque about it and frame this in a romantic context,
but there’s a spiritual quality they share and that’s going to be

"I think he finds Elena attractive. I mean, I know he does.
Maybe that’s just me." Daniel Gillies

“There’s now something sort of building between Elijah and
Elena.” - Nina Dobrev

Soundtrack
Lying cheek to cheek in your cold embrace.
So soft and so tragic as a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife against your heart and say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now."
- If I Was Your Vampire by Marilyn Manson

Take me, I'm alive, never was a girl with a wicked mind.
But everything looks better when the sun goes down.
I had everything, opportunities for eternity,
And I could belong to the night.
Your eyes, your eyes, I can see in your eyes…
Your eyes… You make me wanna die.
And every time I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die.
- Make Me Wanna Die by The Pretty Reckless

Your body's warm, but you are not.
You give a little, not a lot.
How can I tell if you mean what you say?
Maybe I had just a glimpse of your soul...
Or was that your shadow I saw on the wall?
I'm watching you disappear.
But you…
You were never here.
- You Want by Porcelain and the Tramps

You've got your wish tonight…
Big eyes, hot crimes; undressed,
The best of times.
Killed myself to kill us both.
And I'm happy to be there.
I need it, I need it, I need it -
Until I want it, I want it...
You're ****ed, the best of times…
Gorgeous whisper, pretty ghost.
- Saved By Strangers by Die Mannequin

I couldn't take my eyes off her,
But that's not what I took off that night.
I couldn't take my hands off her,
She wouldn't let me be anywhere but inside.
She'll never cover up what we did with a dress, no.
She said kiss me, it'll heal…
- Heart-Shaped Glasses by Marilyn Manson

I can’t escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don’t sleep
You belong to me
My snow white queen
There’s nowhere to run, so let’s just get it over
Soon I know you’ll see, you’re just like me
Don’t scream anymore, my love
Cause all I want is you
- Snow White Queen by Evanescence

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you’ll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
- The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
- In For The Kill by La Roux

Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
- Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machines

When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you
- Bad Things by Jace Everett

The curtains flew and then he appeared
(Saying don’t be afraid)
Come on, baby (And she had no fear)
And she ran to him (Then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye
(She had become like they are)
She had taken his hand
(She had become like they are)
Come on, baby (Don’t fear the reaper)
- (Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult

Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about
That's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get 'em out of your head
- Pretty Girl by Sugarcult

"She represents something magnificent to him, something he
doesn’t see very often in people. The fans are right; there’s a
resistance and a purity, and the sexual tension becomes
pyre between them." Daniel Gillies

Thanks for the new thread!

My new EE song is Wonderwall by Oasis

Today is going to be the day
That they're going to throw it back to you
By now you should have somehow
Realized what you've got to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

Back beat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're going to be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

"By giving him the dagger I have proven myself."

Black_Betty

I love the look on his face when he takes the dagger! And toward the end of this gif:

dreamywriter19

He looks even scared in that gif

500 words for my new chapter

Black_Betty

I think he was feeling very vulnerable and angry; he'd already begun developing these feelings for her and she killed him and then brought him back to life and was trying to bargain with him. His emotions were probably chaotic.

Woot!
