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.
So thank you so much for the fic (and for the other one "To an Aspect of Perdition, Revolution") Even though it's AU, the characters are intensified versions of what we've seen on TVD, and I loved seeing how the three of them act when they are pushed to their limit.
I liked this fic a little more than TAP,R because it preserved the patience and restraint that made Elijah and Elena's relationship. In the show, he doesnt aggressively pursue Elena in the show (unlike the Salvatores), and on Elena's part, she treats him as a noble man. However in the fic this restraint is not just a choice, but a survival necessity: Elijah cannot demonstrate any affection towards Elena for fear of what Klaus would do to her once he finds out (though Klaus knows Elijah too well), and Elena cannot ask for help from Elijah because Klaus will kill Elijah for his betrayal.
It must be so difficult to write, but I really hope this isnt your last Elijah/Elena/Klaus fic.
