Thank you so much!

I've been quite taken with Elijah's character, as well as the idea of Klaus, that I very well couldn't ignore the prompt once I saw it. I really wanted the ending to be as ambiguous as can be, not to mention a total mind!fuck, so I'm happy to hear I succeeded in that regard!

I am not all too sure I understood what happened, but nevertheless, I loved it. The language was beautiful, and I loved the tug-of-war between Elijah and Klaus with poor Elena in the middle.

Thanks so much!

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry about that! Every now and then I start feeling a little too poetic and decide to indulge in some experimental writing with verse. I promise my next fic won't be quite so vague. XD

I loved the fraternal tension between Klaus and Elijah caused by a Petrova doppelganger when watching their interactions in 1492 but unfortunately, I ship Elijah and Elena, and we never got to see Elijah and Klaus and Elena interact in the show

beautifully, beautifully written!!
You've done both these ancient and ambiguous characters such justice (even though we've yet to meet Klaus, for some reason I can't imagine him not being morbid at least to some degree).

I like how you left the ending (who ended up the victor) open to the readers, for Elena's sake I'm going to pretend it's Elijah hehe =p

[imp3ratrix]

Thank you!

Oh, definitely agree with you on Klaus. He is shaping up to be incredibly vile. I like to think of his characterization as a combination of unapologetic sadism, genius, insanity and a serious case megalomania. I can't wait to see him in action!

I couldn't choose one over the other; they're both too awesome for that! But I'd like to think it was Elijah too, if only for Elena. :P

Darling, you definitely have a way with the written language. It was damn creepy! But yay, we have another character in common that we love: Elijah!

[imp3ratrix]

I'm glad it came across as such. Anything with Klaus in it demands to be all kinds of depraved and creepy.

Elijah is the personification of all things awesome I can't imagine anyone not loving him!

[advo]

I agree about Klaus, though I'm not sure TV!Klaus will live up to yours. He seems more like a frat boy than a genuinely scary guy. I'll give him a chance since he hasn't really been on the scene in his modern day version yet.

Elijah is the best, LOL. It is true, I don't think I have seen anyone not like him actually. But still, he had me at "Hello there" so dibs!

[imp3ratrix]

I hope they do his character justice; I've been waiting for him to make an appearance since the beginning of the series. He was so crazy and evil in the books, and it would devastate me if he's anything but. Alas, we shall see.

Haha, that was hot. I loved his entrance; it was so commanding and worthy of a BAMF.
