THIS IS AN ELIJAH/ELENA POST!
featuring icons, tumblr graphics, picspams + fic!poetry and mini-mixes for round 1 @ myriadis
Impromtu!entry for myriadis just because I had a sudden urge to re-watch season 2 of the Vampire Diaries and got overwhelmed with so many Elijah/Elena feelings, it's not funny, really--which promptly got me spending the entire weekend making this post. WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY!
i. proximity
there is something within her that burns
like the sun-buries itself in dark corners
crawls into him and warms his blood.
there is something within him, impossible
a madness seeping through calm-a storm
when he touches her, he feels like ice.

ii. light and shadow, color and absence

he sees in her a mirror: his honor,
her love. his disappointment, her hope. her fire,
his ruthlessness. her mercy, his regret.

description: a moody mini-mix centering on their trust issues. because no matter how much they respect each other, they'll still pick their own family over the other. basically, angst.

ONE | 100 Other Lovers (Devotchka)
I want to negotiate some kind of a deal
I want to tear it open show you that it's real
he hears her promise, heavy like stones falling
from her mouth: “You have my word,” she says.
his gaze is still and relentless
TWO | The Rip (Portishead)
As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realize that love flows
when he looks at her, he sees the same
perfect copy: guileless eyes on innocent cheek,
a question of love that lies on her lips
THREE | Maybe (Julia Stone)
Don’t be scared I’m not here
For your heart
he could rip her open, expose the steady heart
that beats and beats and calls and calls, both
a lure and a weapon. he waits for the catch
FOUR | The Killer (Twilight Singers)
Such a pretty thing, I've never seen
Someone so perfectly deceive
he feels the lie before she speaks it, each pulse trembles
and quickens to betray her. he hesitates to interrupt
so pure a beauty, such dangerous innocence
FIVE | Regret (Fiona Apple)
Now when you look at me, you're condemned to see
The monster your mother made you to be
in the end, he chooses to hurt her and yet
in the end, she looks at him with forgiveness and still
in the end, the blood is always in his hands.

v. they break no matter what we do
direct | tumblr
the first time he dies because of her, he’s surprised.
the second time, he’s annoyed.
the third time she kills him, he admires her
even as the knife cuts through his heart. but
this fourth time: this betrayal, this death, it saddens him
as she stands there so fragile, so human-he wants to hurt oh
he wants to break her oh, he wants

ONE | Hot Knife (Fiona Apple)
I'm a hot knife
He's a pat of butter
if she could mess him up, she would
make him snap, make him melt
she watches his hand glide over her skin
TWO | Something to say (Martina Topley-Bird)
It’s so taken and taken over me
It’s so obtuse and it proves you’re on a leash
she has him and he knows she has
him where she wants him and he knows
what she wants and where she wants and how
THREE | Date with the Night (The Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
Don't tell me to fix her
Don't tell me to fix her
Just take a bite
and what do they do with this incessant hunger
gnawing at their fingertips-the need
each small taste leaves them unsatisfied
FOUR | Make it Hot (Mirah)
There is one addiction
I'd like to keep the power and the heat
over and over they are taken with each
other. every gasp of breath that comes is
not enough, it’s never enough. every caress
FIVE | Set the Grass on Fire (Elysian Fields)
'Cause you're the only one that sees me
I'm yours and you are mine
and when it expires, when the moment
finally falls and leaves their body to sleep
together, the word was made for them.

vii. balance
how can he resist when she smiles so
sweetly-an apology as if to say: now we are
even. after the hurt and the hurting back, the
give and take and take and give. she
leads the way, he follows always
and forever. the dance begins.

okay the last one was supposed to be a longer (and smuttier) fic set in the not so distant future (in spite of shipping them, I do find Elena still being in high school a bit problematic. haha) but I'm running out of time (really have to get started on my 20inspirations set next week) but maybe I'll write it someday and it'll be less ~pretentious next time lol. (You'll have to forgive the weird line breaks, I'll probably facepalm when I reread this.) though honestly, I don't think I've felt like writing so much fanfic since, erm--ever!
