Argh wtf, I realised I wrote a comment for this but never actually posted it (I got distracted or something and figured I'd do it later). I suck, haha. Anyway...
OH MY GOD. I can never get over how well you write them! This is all just so insanely in character.
One thing that really got me was Klaus' transformation. From the start where he says that they're monsters to the end where he's come to think of them as gods. It all makes perfect sense to me because I imagine if you could live so long, more powerful than anyone else and without any kind of rules or restrictions, that would happen to you. I also liked the part about him trying to justify everything. I can so see that.
Rebekah's voice was amazing here too. It's interesting because she feels trapped but on the other hand she doesn't really know what she can do about it, if anything, because she doesn't know how else to live. It's sort got a stockholm syndrome vibe about it, their relationship. And the lines about them not knowing how to love anyone who isn't blood... that made a lot of sense to me as well.
The mythology stuff was great too. I love how much thought you put into everything. Gah, just amazing. Please write them forever, haha. ♥
Haha, don't worry about it! I suck for taking so long to get back to you, but honestly, asljdsldsl, just flailing everywhere, I am just so thrilled you liked it so much, and this comment is too lovely, and guh ♥
So pleased you found them in-character through all the different parts, it was difficult trying to keep them such through the various time periods, so that definitely means a lot (: I definitely wanted to show very individual looks at how they handled the transformation/everything through the years, even though it was all Rebekah's POV, so it's great that Klaus worked for you too! And the Stockholm note is really interesting, I completely agree that there's that sense of her being trapped, and a clear power imbalance between the two of them. Klaus was the only one that had any method of killing Rebekah (even if not permanently), and I think that speaks a lot to what dynamic there would be.
Anyway, before I ramble too much, aha, just a massive, massive thank you for reading and leaving such a sweet comment, I smiled so much! Thank youuuuu!
