I write best when I have prompts. So my challenge to myself is to fill the box. If you comment and pick a prompt/pairing, I'll write it. Otherwise, I'll try to fill them out myself.

There are very few rules which Elijah lives his life by, but that is the most important. No matter how unassuming they seem, no matter how much they swear they are not trying to trick you, when the cards done and their backs are against the wall, the Petrovas always look out for themselves.
He trusted the first Petrova, the one whose blood bound Klaus's curse, the one who allowed herself to be sacrificed just to ensure Klaus could not become powerful. Elijah swore to Klaus they could trust his beautiful wife, that her allegiance was to them and not to her family, but love is not important to Petrovas; blood is, and Elijah was not her blood.
He trusted Katerina, the beautiful girl with his dead wife's face, the one who seemed to radiate naivete and hope. Elijah was the one who swore to Klaus that Katerina did not need to be guarded, that she was too gentle of a soul to betray them. And while he hadn't wanted to see her sacrificed, Elijah always did not want to disappoint his brother yet again.
He trusted Elena, another girl with his wife's face, another girl built of goodness, sweetness, and light. He is not so young now, and he does not allow himself any softness with her. The terms of their agreement are concrete, and Elijah has decided easily that he will not allow himself to care if Elena is sacrificed in the ruse to draw Klaus out of hiding. And when her vampire suitor kills him with the dagger, when she kills him with the dagger, he is not surprised. After all, this is what Petrovas do.
As Elijah comes alive when she removes the dagger, he is disoriented for the first hour. He knows intellectually she is Elena, but he keeps seeing Katerina, keeps seeing his wife. As she drives him away from the Salvatore boardinghouse, he says, "I have no reason to trust you. The word of a Petrova means nothing to me."
Turning her brown eyes on him, she retorts, "Yeah, well, I'm a Gilbert."
He's never trusted a Gilbert before and he isn't sure what that means.
When she promises to return after attending to Jenna, Elijah expects to never see her again. She has gotten what she needs from him, and he's certain she has returned to her vampire loves.
When she walks through the front door of the Lockwood mansion, Elijah feels something akin to hope flutter in his chest.
Maybe she is different.
