Thoughts on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth [2 out of 2]
Refer to part 1 before reading please
The cast has seen improvements all around Brianna White’s Aerith was already an all time performance for the series and it being joined not only by Suzie Yeung’s Yuffie but also by John Eric Bentley’s Barrett was a great surprise and a huge glow up from Remake. It might be too early to tell but between the interview where they told her to tone down her acting because it was too good (her vomiting noises specifically) and the sheer strength of the cast this time around I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the performance of the year at The Game Awards later this year. As for Barrett the main factor is that Rebirth gave Bentley more to work with and he sure took advantage of it delivering a performance worthy of the nuance Barrett deserves. This is not to say the other performances where bad as Cody Christian, Britt Barton, Max Mittelman and Paul Tinto all did great jobs as Cloud, Tifa, Red XIII and Cait Sith respectively or the side characters like Caleb Pierce, Kayli Mills and Piper Reese all did fantastic jobs as Zack, Cissnei and Elena but we would be here for like 8 more paragraphs if I listed every performance[also wanted to drop here Matt Mercer and J Michael Tatum as Vincent and Cid to finish up the main cast].
Gameplay wise it plays like a faster version of what Remake was doing which is just an ATB version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII’s combat which is to say it plays really good, the game now includes way more commands and allows you to stack even more wacky materia to make your characters as customizable as you can without dropping what made them unique and letting you work with whatever party you vibe with the most (Aerith and Yuffie is the best party and I will die on this hill), the second most important gamemode is the exploration section of the game which unlike 7 Remake or 16 is very open while still filling condensed unlike 15’s huge vastness this one is closer in approach to the always reliable Witcher 3 open world zones but that doesn’t mean it drops the basics of the huge open world trend, like many of its kind Rebirth has the infamous Ubisoft towers, (which hot take but I enjoy in a checklist sort of way) some random busywork and the third gameplay pillar minigames which there are a lot, probably too many to talk about here without making this longer than it needs to (which it already kinda is) but one I do wanna talk about is Queen’s Blood as its questline was a great little distraction with bizarre analogue horror elements that I didn’t expect from the obligatory FF card game at all while also being a somewhat fun game with some interesting strategic depth.
From here on out I’m gonna talk about the ending so skip from here to the conclusion if you want to keep reading spoiler free but otherwise. [First off the second visit to the Golden Saucer is great fun, this time the “date” goes fantastic as you visit Loveless, a beautiful rhythm game and the story of a knight fighting darkness to save his beloved accompanied by some of the best music the game has to offer and topped with a musical performance by Aerith with her singing voice being provided by Loren Allred who performs a gorgeous ballad to close out a contender for moment of the year, and afterwards if you upped your relationship to your date enough you get one of the “intimate endings” which are little character moments between Cloud and whoever he is with that I hope will be revisited in the third game as they are just wonderful. Afterwards we get a slightly better version of the Cait Sith liar reveal during the Dio vs Don Corneo tournament and soon we are, sailing through the Meridian Ocean chasing the turks with the help of Vincent to arrive at the fortress of the ancients, where another moment of the year takes place in the trial, a small section where we essentially make everyone face their worst moments again so that they may be prepared for what comes ahead (special shoutout to Yuffie’s Intermission revisit, it felt crushing in all the right ways),in general things were shaping up great and we were wrapping the most ravishing bow to finish up the gift that was the middle of the VII series, but then suddenly a dog arrived and bit everything, that dog is called the temple of the ancients. That final push started strong with the isolation of Cloud trying to save Aerith from the grim fate she is predestined in the original game and surprisingly succeeding in saving Aerith from fake Sephiroth only for what I can only understand as a convergence of timelines to start happening and switching our Aerith into a different timeline while leaving us with a dead one from another but I will get into that in a second, then everyone is able to arrive and they see the dead Aerith which prompts the start of the bossfight, an interesting detail is that everyone but Cloud starts with their Limit as they are fighting to avenge their dead friend while Cloud still needs to build it up since he is fighting to restore her and prevent Sephiroth from fusing the timeline, in a bizarre way Zack is also there for a bit of the fight until he gets separated into another world again while still being attacked by Sephiroth, what is curious is that for brief moments (synergy attacks in this case) Cloud can join Zack as a sort of projection without entering this dimension fully as well as fighting Sephiroth now in a white void instead of the usual dark one that represents his subconscious even being joined by either the summation of Aerith across all timelines or just our Aerith now aware of her role in all of this to finish the story of Rebirth. At the end we see that everyone Aerith was killed by Sephiroth except for Cloud who is still communicating with her from the other dimension (if he was losing his mind we would have the static and not the rainbow) while everyone else mourns her loss. This leads to the ending cutscene where Cloud and Aerith go their separate ways to finish the story and frankly I kind of hate it, Remake already had a decently open ending that needed some input from the Ultimania (a book about the game that Square Enix releases like a month after the game) to fully get and now it feels like they just doubled down and made the Ultimania a required part of understanding what is going on since everything is just very speculative and borderline impossible to confirm as a thing that actually happened. Maybe it will fix it and an explanation will be available online for people that finished the game to look up but it's still an incredibly scummy way to sell us the Ultimania and a blight in what was otherwise an outstanding game.]
Bringing everything to an end, I really loved this game, despite my issues with some parts of it, it's good to see that like with Remake, VII can carry the franchise while the main series struggles to turn out greatness again. The sheer love that was put into it can be felt all around and the team deserves all the praise they are getting, iIt was a great experience and I can't wait for the final one in a few more years.

Dear Lover
Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Chapter 3: Dinner
WARNING: SWEAR WORDS, LIGHT 18+ SCENE
Elena stood rooted to the spot, staring at him. She couldn't speak. This wasn't fair, she had no time to prepare for this mentally.
''It's polite to answer someone when they speak to you.'' he restrains a grin seeing how embarrassed she is.
'' I wasn't expecting you here.'' she bites her lip and resists the urge to look away.
''I could say that too, you're supposed to be in Mystic Falls. In the company of the Salvatore brothers if I'm not wrong. '' his lips fix in a straight line.
''Well as you can see I'm here.'' Elena says a bit harsher, annoyed by his words.
''Good'' Elijah says with a satisfied smile. ''I've made reservations for dinner. Will you do me the honour of joining me?'' he leans down so his eyes are level with mine.''
She can't form words. It's clear that she shouldn't accept his offer, he already left her once. But if she listens to her heart she knows she can't resist him.
''Fine.'' Wonderful. Bonnie will kill her. ''But just dinner...right?'' she breathes.
''Of course. Why, is there anything else on your mind­?'' he keeps eye contact with an annoyingly hot half smile on his face.
''No, of course not.'' This is so embarrassing. '''Where shall I meet you?'' it is best if she changes the subject.
He takes a card from his inside pocket and holds it out for her. ''Just text me your address, I'm coming for you. Eight o'clock is alright for you?''
''Yeah, sure.'' she replies, really trying to hide how excited she is.
''Perfect. I'll see you later then.'' Elena nods and he starts to back, smoothing down his suit before sliding his hands into his pockets. Their eyes lock for a second. Elijah breaks the eye connection and then turns away. Elena's palms hit her cheeks as she tries to rub some life back into them. She's so screwed.
--------
Getting into someone's apartment without their knowledge is not the nicest thing to do, Elena knew that. Caroline rarely stays here so Elena just hopes she won't notice the key missing. Hopping into the huge bed she stares at the ceiling for a while. She has nothing to wear. She had no intention of going on a date with Elijah but here they are. Groaning at the sound of her ringing phone she gets up and gets it from her purse. She rolls her eyes when she sees who's calling her.
''Just wait until I find you, I'll drag you back to Mystic Falls. Why don't you make things easier for both of us and come home?'' Typical Damon.
''My answer is a no. I'm a grown-up woman so don't you dare to tell me what to do.'' Elena tries to stay calm, it would've been better if she didn't pick up the phone.
''You don't act like one right now, I only see a twenty-three-year-old child who's being irresponsible. You have one day if you don't come back by then I'll go get you myself.''
''We'll see.'' she snaps back and hangs up. Elena will never get rid of him.
She quickly sends Elijah her address. Slipping her phone back into her bag she looks at the time, five o'clock. She has three hours to get ready and there's still no dress. Opening the wardrobe she prays that Caroline has something here.
Picking out a short black dress she tries it on and heads toward the mirror to see how it looks on her. It's really simple but it still looks great. She gets her hair done and does a light makeup.
Exactly at eight o'clock a shiny black Bentley parks in front of the building. Gathering all her courage she steps out the door and walks toward Elijah. He, as ever, looks stunning in a black three-piece suit, tie perfectly knotted as always.
''Good evening lovely Elena.'' his eyes are sparkling wildly. He takes her hand and kisses the back of it.
''Elijah.'' she smiles, the way he looks at her gives her butterflies. His lovely lips give an almost undetectable smile.
''After you'' he gestures towards the car and opens the door so she can get in. She can safely say that this is the most comfortable seat in which she has ever sat. He slides into the car and pulls hastily away from the kerb.
''I'm actually surprised you invited me to dinner.'' she says glancing at him for a moment.
''That's the least I can do after everything that happened.'' he answers, his eyes still focused on the road. He doesn't have to say out loud what he meant, they both know it.
''Where exactly are we going?''
''To my apartment. I'd rather have dinner in the comfort of my own home.''  Elijah explains. Fantastic. Being with Elijah in a room is not a good sign. Never was. Elena just hopes that she doesn't end up crying.
They're in the car for ten minutes until he pulls into a car park. He lets himself out of the car and makes his way around to her. Opening the door, he holds his hands out to her. His eyes never leaving hers she steps out and his hands slide to her waist. There are only a few inches between their faces and Elena can feel her heart rate speeding up.
''Dinner.'' she whispers and looks away breaking the eye contact.
''Right.'' taking a step back, Elijah repositions his hand to get a better grip on her and pulls her towards the stairwell.
He unlocks his black door and opens it. Standing to the side he lets her step over the threshold. Elena slowly makes her way down the hallway until it opens up into a huge marble-infested living room with a few antique paintings on the wall. Everything is just perfect.
''This place is beautiful.''
''I like being here, it's peaceful. Especially without my siblings.'' he closes the door and takes her hand gently pulling her towards the dining room.
''I can imagine.'' she huffs and takes a seat at the huge table.
''Would you like some wine?'' Elijah asks, removing his jacket he puts it over the back of a chair.
''Yes, please. '' she replies, her gaze on the food served on the table. ''Why did you leave New Orleans?'' Elena was curious why did Elijah leave Klaus behind. Elijah's first priority was always searching for Klaus's redemption.
''It was for the better. He has Hope now, and I thought it would be the best to get away from there for a while.'' he hands her a glass of wine and takes the chair at the other end. Elena knows there's more to it but decides to stay silent.
''I'm more interested about you though. If my memory serves me right you finally managed to choose between the Salvatore's.'' his voice held a hint of sarcasm and Elena exhales a wary breath. Squirming in her chair she tries not to say something she'll regret later.  
''Stop.'' she whispers. ''What exactly did you expect from me? You went away without a single word in the first place not me so stop being a jealous asshole.'' her eyes are filled with irritation. He has no right to judge her after everything that happened.
''Language.'' he tells her sternly before he continues. '' If I hadn't left you probably wouldn't be a human right now or worse you'd be dead.'' Elijah explains as he swirls his wine still perfectly calm.
''How noble of you.'' she huffs and takes a sip of her wine. '' And what about me, my feelings? These are just poor excuses for why you left and we both know that. You have no right to judge my actions, if I'm with one of the Salvatore's that's my business and if I want to fuck one of the Salvatore's that's also my business.'' she spits, feeling her blood heat with rage she makes her way towards the door. This was a bad idea, coming here was a bad idea and Bonnie was right again.
Before Elena could react Elijah stood before her. Stupid vampire speed. He's so close to her that's it's impossible not to look into his eyes. They don't say anything for a few seconds before his lips cover her in a long passionate kiss. She accepts it without hesitation as he pushes her against the wall, his hands all over her. A small moan escapes her mouth while she's clasping his shoulders. Pushing his groin into her tummy, his hardness throbs against her and it makes both of them groan from pleasure.
Elijah pushes himself away and he strides away. ''Shit. I shouldn't have brought you here.
''You're right.'' she mumbles trying to hold herself steady. ''I should go.'' she gathers her bag and heads to the door, not looking back

Happy Birthday Scottish actress Georgia King.
Born Georgia May King on 18th November 1986 in Edinburgh, this bonnie lass is the daughter of  Scottish operatic soprano Isobel Buchanan and Australian born actor Jonathan Hyde. 
Although King grew up dreaming of being a director, she got her break into acting when she was eighteen and still working at a cheese shop, making her professional debut as Rosamond Oliver in Jane Eyre. She was nearly unable to play the role, however. A source stated that "a week before the day she began filming, King felt stomach pains, then had her appendix rupture. Her agent told the producers that she was unlikely to recover from the operation to remove it for at least ten days." Another actress was cast, but King recovered in time and was able to get the required medical clearance to film.
Georgia is probably best known as Goldie, a surrogate mother in the American sitcom, The New Normal. Formerly, she was well known for her acclaimed performance as the tyrannical head-girl Harriet Bentley in 2008's Wild Child, and as cruel, conniving Sophie in the 2009 slasher film Tormented. Also in 2009 King received positive acclaim for her performance as the manipulative Victoria in the film Tanner Hall. The talented Miss King also performs on stage,one of her performances was One Night in November at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry in 2010.
Other roles have been in the 2011 film Chalet Girl. She appeared as Princess Elena in the episode "The Changeling" of the third series of the BBC's Merlin and in the comedy horror film Cockneys vs Zombies as a bank robbery hostage trying to escape from a zombie-infested London.
King also appeared as series regular Amanda Snodgrass across both seasons in the 2016/2017 HBO comedy Vice Principals.
More recently Georgia was in 5 of the 8 episodes of the mini-series Devs and voice the character  Petra Aberdeen in Star Trek: Lower Decks

Under the cut you will find the list of everyone’s costumes as well as lists for the couples romantic and platonic. The voting for the costume contest this year will be done here. We ask that you choose your top 5 favorites in each category but then rank the order in which you’d rate them in the ‘other’ option. If you’ve got any questions about how that works, do not hesitate to ask us. The ranking per usual goes five points for first place, four points for second and so on so please put your votes in order accordingly. Please vote before the 10th of November as we will be announcing the winners from that point onward before the end of the event. If we have missed any contestants/costumes on any of the lists please shoot us a message so we can fix that !!

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻
𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 !
FULL NAME.  Caroline Elizabeth Forbes
NICKNAME.  Care, CareBear, Vampire Barbie/Judgy (Damon), Goldilocks/Gorgeous (Enzo), Love (Klaus), Wendy (Andrea)
GENDER.  Cis Female  
HEIGHT.  5′8″ 
AGE.  20  (Born on October 12th, 1992 — she thinks it’s fate that Jeremy’s birthday is the day after hers)  
ZODIAC.   Libra sun (aesthetic oriented, people pleaser, strong moral compass), Aries moon (swift, enthusiastic, and impulsive), Scorpio rising (magnetic, passionate, loyal, obsessive)
SPOKEN LANGUAGES.   English, minimal French 
𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 !
HAIR COLOR.  Blonde (she had a red hair phase freshman year of high school. It was a dark time.)
EYE COLOR.  Blue
SKIN TONE. Fair-skinned
BODY TYPE.   Slim, slender  
VOICE.  Mezzo-Soprano
DOMINANT HAND.  Right
SCARS.  None, thanks to that handy vampire healing ability. The fact that she has no physical scars often messes with her head, as she thinks people do not understand that she still has trauma from what she’s been through even though there is no longer physical evidence of it. 
TATTOOS.  None, and with no plans to get any. She subscribes to the “you don’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley” mentality.   
PIERCINGS.   Two holes in each earlobe, cartilage piercing on her left ear. She got a belly button piercing during the ill-fated red hair era, but Liz found out and made her let the hole close up.
BIRTHMARKS.   None
MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S).   Eyes, hair, smile
𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 !
HOMETOWN.   Mystic Falls, Virgina
SIBLINGS.   None  
PARENTS.  Bill and Elizabeth Forbes 
𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 !
OCCUPATION.  Student; Headmistress (eventually)  
CURRENT RESIDENCE.  McKinley, Virginia  
CLOSE FRIENDS.   Stefan Salvatore (her confidant, her partner in crime, her voice of reason), Jeremy Gilbert (her best friend, her soulmate, her twin flame), Elena Gilbert (her non-biological sister), Bonnie Bennett (her non-biological sister), Matt Donovan (her buddy, her tie to human life), Rebekah Mikaelson (the other half of Team Barbie)
RELATIONSHIP STATUS.  In a relationship with Klaus Mikaelson, it’s complicated with Stefan Salvatore. (Widowed by Stefan Salvatore on March 8th, 2018. Married to Chronos in 2064.)
FINANCIAL STATUS.  Stable. Liz is able to provide pretty much anything Caroline needs, and Klaus is more than happy to get her anything she wants
DRIVER’S LICENSE.  Yes! She wants to get her motorcycle license too. (Stefan’s influence, for sure)
𝐬𝐞𝐱 & 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 !
SEXUAL ORIENTATION.  Demisexual
PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE.  Prefers to be the caretaker most of the time, constantly trying to think up meaningful ways to make sure that the people around her know how appreciated they are. Her current relationship has shown her that she is allowed to also enjoy being taken care of as well, something that was fairly foreign to her until now and still feels uncomfortable and unfamiliar on occasion.
PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE.  Definitely a switch. With Tyler, she was the more dominant force. With Klaus, it’s far more balanced but she lets him take the dominant role more often. 
RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES.  Once she decides she’s in, she’s in for the long haul, come what may. Can be clingy and jealous. Very thoughtful, just wants to make life for her partner as idyllic as possible. Remembers every single milestone (first kiss, first date, anniversaries) but does not expect her partners to do the same.  Consistently uses sex as a weapon or distraction. 
LIBIDO. Incredibly high, probably something to do with forever being stuck with teenage hormones. 
TURN ON’S. Protectiveness, thoughtfulness, having secrets with her partner,  eye contact, neck kisses, consensual roughness, the tongue thing. Super big fan of angry/make up sex. Also very into building tension with secret glances/touches in public.
TURN OFF’S. Ignoring her, interrupting her, pessimism, sexism, messiness, lack of commitment/affection.  
LOVE LANGUAGE.  Her preferred love languages to receive are physical touch, words of affirmation and quality time. Her preferred love languages to give are acts of service and physical touch.
𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 !
CHARACTER’S THEME SONGS.    Mastermind by Taylor Swift. Hurricane by Halsey. Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Barbie Girl by Aqua. Problem by Natalia Kills. Tennis Court by Lorde. Where Does The Good Go? by Tegan and Sara. Bottom of the River by Delta Rae. If We Cannot See by Devics. The Future Freaks Me Out by Motion City Soundtrack.
HOBBIES TO PASS TIME.  Reorganizing the closet of every person she lives with, shopping (especially with Jeremy), planning events, learning to bake (she is not great at it yet but she is determined), posing for sketches for Klaus, wedding planning (for her eventual June wedding), sewing (gotta make all those costumes somehow), dancing (especially in the kitchen while Stefan cooks), singing (she loves drunk karaoke), going to the theatre (live theatre and movies) 
MENTAL ILLNESSES.  Obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, PTSD 
PHYSICAL ILLNESSES.  None (shout out to vampirism) 
SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL.  Confident about her abilities (including organization, planning, physical fighting, debate, gift giving). Confident in her sexual skills. Confident in her appearance. Not confident in her ability to have people continue to care for her; constantly thinks that she will outlive her usefulness and be forgotten. Not confident in being chosen first or being considered important. Confident in her intellect in relation to school but not in relation to real life application.

The Tsar Misses Christmas Day Church Service Because Of ill Health
Tumblr media
Tsarina Elena was able to join other members of the royal family at the church near the Tsar’s residence, but he decided to stay at home to rest.
The Tsar today missed a Christmas Day church service because of his lingering ill health.
The Tsar has been reportedly struggling with his mobility, forcing him to miss out on many Christmas Day traditions with his family.
Rservcherich Palace said the Tsar was still suffering from effects of his lingering health issues and had decided not to attend the service with other members of the royal family.
A Palace spokeswoman said, "His Imperial Highness The Tsar will not attend the Christmas service today.
"The Tsar does not yet feel ready to attend church as he is still recuperating from ill health."
Tumblr media
The Tsarina of Raymount travelled to and from the service by Bentley.
His Imperial Highness is understood to only be able to walk and stand for small amounts of time. He is surrounded by a team of doctors, led by the Tsar’s physician, aiding his recovery.
But he has been unable to recover enough in time for the traditional morning service.
Speaking earlier in the weekend an insider said: “He will be there if he can make it, but that won’t be known until the morning of the service.
Tumblr media
The Royal Family attended the church service without the Tsar on Christmas Day.
“It’s a long-standing tradition that the Tsar attends church during the Christmas season.”
The Tsarina rallied to attend the Christmas Day service, accompanied by the Tsarevich Alexei, Tsarevna Irina and Tsarevna Anna.

A Year to Eternity - Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Elena’s eyes darted from Caroline to Klaus curiously before settling on Elijah’s confused expression; he had no idea what his brother was doing at her house either.
“What’s going to be amusing?” She pressed a hand to her back, applying a light pressure to the ache near the base of her spine and mentally scolding herself for leaping to her feet so quickly.
She focused her gaze on Klaus, turning to face him fully. “What are you doing here?”
She thought she did an astounding job of keeping any and all accusations from her tone.
“Perhaps you could invite me in, love,” he pushed a hand against the barrier, “so I’m not speaking across the length of your house.”
“Are you going to threaten to burn my house to the ground if I don’t?” She arched an eyebrow, hearing the snide inflection in her voice.
The baby tapped out a staccato rhythm on her ribs.
As much as she wanted to deny him entry and step outside for whatever conversation he had in mind she decided against it, knowing she would live to regret her impulsive decision made by tired limbs.
“Come on in.”
He stepped inside and moved to the living room without pausing to look around.
“What do you want Klaus?” She crossed her arms over her stomach, feeling suddenly like a beached whale.
“What I want is your blood.”
Elena clicked her tongue. “Saw that one coming from a mile away.”
“I need it for a spell,” his jaw clicked. “Bonnie Bennett will only do it if you give your blood willingly.”
“You expect me to give you my blood for another spell?” Heat rose in her cheeks, but with it came a powerful sense of control. “You murdered my mother and my aunt, you indirectly killed my father, terrorized my town, used me as a human blood bag and you were going to kill me again. Do you really think I’m going to give you anything you want?”
“I’m sorry...”
She cut him off with a wry laugh. Her words came out sharp, ringing with a truth they all knew. “Oh please, we both know you’d do it again in a heartbeat without batting an eye.”
“You’re right,” he nodded solemnly, “I would, and I regret nothing with the exception of your aunt. That was an unfortunate necessity to draw you out after Damon’s interference.”
“That interference saved Tyler and Caroline.” His eyes widened. She wondered if he had ever known the first vampire Katherine provided him was Caroline. Would he have been able to kill her, or would he have been as captivated that first night as he was when he couldn’t let her die from Tyler’s bite?
From the corner of her eye she watched Caroline perch on the arm of the sofa and motion with her hand. A sharp backwards jab that Elijah steadfastly ignored. She felt his presence at her elbow.
Klaus shifted closer, staring into her hard eyes.
She knew he didn’t regret it. He would never regret it. For a thousand years he had been cut off from a part of who he was, denied his heritage. A piece of him had been missing and in a weird way she got it. Maybe if he had gone about things differently, asked for her help and provided Elijah’s elixir, she might have participated willingly - so long as nobody innocent filled the other roles: Kai Parker would have made an excellent candidate; she couldn’t say the world would have been worse off without him.
Of course nobody could ever hope to know.
The past was past.
“Elena, please?”
Her name sounded as foreign on his tongue as the show of manners. ‘Love’, ‘my lovely’, ‘doppelgänger’ and ‘my girl’ were his preferred monikers for her, but ‘Elena’ had only crossed his lips once. She remembered it clearly, the cold night, the lick of fire, and the numbing emptiness as Jenna’s death sank in; the sincerity with which he had thanked her remained nothing short of shocking. It was one of the few moments she had ever seen him vulnerable with his emotions laid bare.
She tried not to show how much her name affected her.
“She and Kol have found a way to save my daughter, and it requires your blood, willingly given,” he took a deep breath to help force out his words. “I’m here to ask for your help.”
She gripped her upper arms and narrowed her eyes at the man who had blown into her life and laid it in ruins at her feet. Every death caused by his siblings and even Katherine could be linked back to him and his curse breaking crusade. The sorrow he had caused still hit her from time to time at  the oddest moments.
And now she had the opportunity to give him a taste of his own medicine. The life of someone he loved rested in her hands.
She imagined saying no and the rush of power that would give her. None of her friends would blame her for the decision; Elijah wouldn’t begrudge her for the choice, despite what it would mean for his family.
“I need your help, Elena, please?” She could have sworn she saw moisture in his eyes.
She was well within her rights to say no.
She had earned that no.
And then there was the flip side. Klaus might be a dick, and the evil hybrid who destroyed her sleepy little town, but his daughter was innocent. Hope Mikaelson was a fifteen year old with her life ahead of her and a father who loved her more than anything; the man had been willing to sacrifice his life so she could live.
And she’d already lost her mother.
Not that Elijah had any intention of letting her lose her father too.
“I’m begging you.”
She knew she couldn’t say no.

Elena shivered in the blast of cold air and leaned forward to close the vents. The swell of her belly made the motion awkward and knocked her purse to the floor. She blinked down, between what she could see of her feet, considered bending to retrieve it and came to the decision neither she nor the baby would enjoy the experience.
“You know,” she walked her fingers across her stomach, earning a kick with every touch, “my car has the ventilation perfectly set, and my stomach doesn’t get in the way of driving.”
“Yes, but if you were in your car, driving by yourself, I would be returning to the school with Klaus and be unable to grill you with questions.” Caroline signalled to turn. Her eyes drifted to the rearview mirror for a glimpse of the Bentley’s headlights where two Originals followed them close enough to hear; she flipped on the radio. Jazz filled the car. “You really disappointed me back there.”
Elena adjusted the seatbelt, stopping it from digging into her windpipe.
“You thought I’d refuse to help Hope?” Her brows rose into her hairline, nearly disappearing behind her side swept bangs.
“Of course not,” she scoffed, rolling her neck around for Elena to see her expression.
“I knew that you’d help. She’s just a kid, so you were obviously going to help her. I just figured you’d make Klaus work for it a little more. Is it wrong that I was looking forward to watching him beg, and seeing you deny him? I thought for sure we’d have to utilize Elijah’s persuasive skills at some point.”
Caroline slowed for a stop sign and checked both directions before rolling into the intersection.
“I thought you’d be tickled pink by the thought of Klaus incased in concrete somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.” Her jaw clicked.
“You really think Elijah would have let him go through with it?” She braced her forehead on the window and caught a glimpse of his dark outline in the mirror.
Her breath fogged up the glass: “stupid, freaking, martyr.”
“I’m gonna let that one go,” Caroline glanced over.
Elena flushed and blamed the pregnancy hormones for her next words because she refused to be the only one blushing in the car.
“If you’re so eager to hear Klaus beg for anything, I’m sure you could think of something else that will have him pleading harder with each subsequent denial.”
Caroline’s alabaster cheeks burned red.
Elena smirked. “You’ve thought about it,” she tittered, “minus utilizing Elijah’s persuasive talents.”
“You’ve thought about Elijah’s persuasive talents,” Caroline shot back.
It made little sense in terms of what they alluded to, but Elena understood the middle school comeback, so rather than burst into giggles her flush deepened; she cursed the day she told Caroline about her recurring dream that had only gotten steamier with the addition of hormones.
“You’re cruel,” she ducked, hiding her embarrassed grin.
“You started it,” she tossed her hands up from the wheel for a second in a shrug. “What was Elijah doing at your place?”
“Catching up.”
“Not turning your fantasy into a reality?”
“Of course not!” Her heart thundered loudly in her ears. He had of course fulfilled one of her dreams, but since the domestic fantasies had never been shared with Caroline her words remained true.
“So, Elijah decides he’s gonna play self-sacrificing big brother and instead of spending his last hours on earth with his family he goes to visit you?” Caroline leaned against the headrest.
“What’s your point?” Her nails scratched the seatbelt, catching in the tiny grooves.
“You haven’t psychoanalyzed that yet?” She fluttered her lashes.
“I only found out a few minutes before you arrived, and I was too busy yelling at him because there was no way in hell I was letting him go through with it.” Pressure built in her chest. “And now all I can think about is the spell Kol helped Bonnie make, and how I’m a central part of it.”
“I guess that means you also haven’t considered why ‘there was no way in hell’ you weren’t letting him do it either?” She tapped the wheel.
“Have you thought about why you wouldn’t let Klaus do it?” She countered.
“I know exactly why and if he were actually going through with plan A then I might even tell him, but we’re not going through with that so I don’t feel the pressing need to reveal the inner workings of my mind.”
Elena twisted to look over her shoulder and through the window.
“He knows,” she sighed, “even if you can’t say it. Deep down, he knows.”
She found Caroline’s soft eyes on her, all teasing gone from her face. “He knows, too.”
Before she got a chance to dispute that, the entertainment system dimmed for an incoming call. Caroline used the controls on the wheel to answer.
“Hey, Bonnie.”
“Hey, are you on your way?”
“Yeah, I’ve got Elena with me,” she flipped her turn signal, skirting the town square.
“Hey, Bonnie,” she raised her voice to reach the speaker.
“Hey. I have a confession to make.”
“You’re having a steamy affair with a Mikaelson,” Elena breathed.
“Wow, you really need to get laid.”
“Elijah would probably oblige,” Caroline smirked.
“Whats the confession Bon?” She glared at her friend.
“It’s about the spell. Right now your blood is tainted by the cure which makes it less… reliable.”
“I think I know where this is going,” she sighed, turning her attention to Caroline. “You want it?”
“Not even a little bit,” her nose wrinkled.
“Didn’t think so. Pull in here,” she nodded to a charcoal awning. “I’ll take care of it Bonnie.”
Caroline ended the call and put the car in park. She eyed the darkened window, momentarily illuminated by Elijah’s headlights.
“What are you gonna do?”
“Potentially put myself into early labour.” She pushed open her door and stood, feeling her back pop.
“At thirty-seven weeks you’re gonna induce,” Caroline shook her head. “Technically you’re at term.”
She dug through her purse for her keys and sorted out the ring until she had the right one. “Do I need to tell you who to call?”
“I think I got it,” she nodded, already flicking through her contacts.
Elena left her to her devices and moved to the building. A fine layer of dust clung to the office, mocking her neglect of hard to reach corners on the desk. She made a note to ask the cleaner to come in twice a week instead of one.
That was if she didn’t ultimately decide to shut down and sell the practice.
Dr. Elena Gilbert once held a nice ring to it, but long ago it began to feel like someone else’s vision of her life. She wasn’t sure she wanted to make a career out of another person’s dream. Maybe she would write or teach, or do any number of things that wouldn’t turn her into her dad.
She loved him, and she missed him everyday, but there was no denying that Grayson Gilbert missed a lot of his children’s lives.
She didn’t want her daughter growing up to wonder when Mommy would be home from work, especially without a daddy to fill in the gaps.
But she shook off those thoughts. The clock ticked; she would have time to think later. Fetching a couple of syringes, she walked back onto the street before Klaus could race in and demand to know what the hold-up was.
++++
Rebekah met them at the front door, bouncing from one stiletto to the other. Kol stood at her side, dark brows drawn over darker eyes.
Her stomach twisted. The last time she had seen that type of intensity on his face he had been driving a railing through her body. Her baby kicked the throbbing spot, somehow managing to touch every place the wood scraped.
The set of his mouth appeared more urgent than murderous, so she took a deep breath to relax as she opened the door.
Elijah’s hand appeared before she could command her legs to move, and she took it, enjoying the brief contact. It lasted only as long as it took to stand and refocus her balance.
Then she had the privilege of watching Kol’s eyes grow wide and his mouth pop open. She let herself enjoy the moment for a second and then focused.
“Does Bonnie have the spell ready?” She hooked her purse over her shoulder.
“She and Freya are putting the finishing touches on it,” Rebekah nodded, “they just need your blood.”
“Where are they?” Caroline moved towards the school.
“In your office,” Kol moved with her, eyes darting back to Elena.
She hoped he felt little to no residual, well deserved, rage because she suspected Elijah would place himself between her and potential danger to her child, and she had no desire to kick off another feud between brothers.
She glanced at the spell, arranged in an ash circle before the sister she had never met. The complexity laid beyond her level of magical comprehension, and she lacked the time to ask. At least she assumed she lacked the time based on the patient.
Hope reclined in a red leather armchair, eyes closed and extraordinarily pale.
She took the desk chair and rolled up her sleeve.
“Does anyone else know how to draw blood?” She brought out the neatly packed syringes and a tourniquet, finishing off her supplies with an alcohol swab.
“After a thousand years we are rather proficient,” Klaus murmured, laying the back of his hand on Hope’s brow; she shifted, but didn’t open her eyes.
“I meant with a syringe,” she rolled her eyes. “I was a vampire for a few years and once the cure is gone those years will catch up. I don’t know how fast it will happen, but there is a decent chance that I’ll be inducing labour and I’d rather not give birth with a stinging vampire bite or a large cut on my arm.”
“I can do it,” Rebekah picked up the tourniquet. She tied off Elena’s arm, and swabbed the vein; she had the syringe in place before addressing the surprised looks. “I did spend a year as a nurse; I had to do this a few times.”
Elena watched the clear tube fill and stopped Rebekah before she could clip the second in place.
“I think that has to be taken first,” she frowned, directing her gaze to Bonnie.
“Better safe than sorry,” she nodded, raising an eyebrow at Freya.
“I’m of the same mind,” she poured black sand around the knife.
Elena turned her attention back to Rebekah, expecting her to inject the cure without a second thought. It was the only thing she had wanted her entire life from the moment she learned what her mother had truly done to them. Yet hesitation turned her pretty features as she glanced from the blood to the left, half-turning to look towards her brothers.
“Rebekah!” Klaus snapped, but she wasn’t looking at him.
Her eyes were focused on Kol between glances towards the syringe.
“Did I miss something?” Elena whispered, finding Elijah’s gaze; he shook his head and shrugged.
Kol swore under his breath, almost too quiet for her human ears, before plucking the syringe from his sister.
She turned back towards Elena.
She watched the soft play of emotions as Rebekah’s stiff shoulders quaked. The dejected sigh went straight to her heart. The sound cut off in a strangled gasp; her eyes darted to the syringe in the blonde’s neck as Rebekah’s lashes fluttered when she fell.
Cold rushed through Elena’s body, pouring over her head and racing up from her toes. It poured from the pinprick in her forearm and she swore she saw a wave leave her body, crashing onto Rebekah’s falling form.
Kol carried her to a short sofa and stretched his sister out.
Elena squeezed her eyes against nausea and exhaustion. She peeked out through her lashes when large hands covered her thighs; a little more energy and she might have flushed at finding Elijah on his knees in front of her.
“Elena?” His thumbs drew circles atop her leggings.
“I’m good,” she swallowed, “pass me the other syringe?” Her fingers shook.
Elijah took over, taking the needle and slipping it into her vein. He filled it with blood, tossed the second syringe to Freya and untied the tourniquet.
He attempted to place a cotton swab on the dot of blood.
Elena’s fingers twisted, digging into his hard biceps. She breathed fast through her nose and clenched her jaw tight against the contraction.
There was a specific way to breathe. How was she supposed to breathe?
Blood stained his shirt sleeves when she let go.
“Is that enough for the spell?” She blew out a fast stream of air.
The pads of her fingers replaced her sharp nails, but if she left bruises instead of cuts she would never know because Elijah voiced no complaints. She wasn’t sure she would have heard it anyway, too busy clenching her teeth against the pain.
Shouldn’t the contraction end at some point?
Precipitous labour, her brain supplied. Should have seen that one coming.
“We’re about to find out,” Bonnie muttered.
Elena blinked, catching movement as the witches joined hands. She felt the static charge of magic in the air, pulling towards the knife as they chanted.
“Are you going to release Elijah, darling?” Kol drawled, carefully pulling blonde hair from Rebekah’s mouth.
“Nope,” she went for a head shake, but the motion made the pain worse. She couldn’t see what Kol did, nor hear what he muttered. Whatever it was proved enough to earn a sharp reprimand from Elijah.
She felt her hands tugged away and squeezed hard enough to break Elijah’s fingers.
“Is that enough blood?” Elijah reclaimed one hand and shifted, carefully maneuvering to rub the small of her back.
“Yes,” Bonnie looked up from the knife.
“You don’t need anymore?” Urgency laced his tone. “You’re certain?”
The conversation flew back and forth. She needed a hospital. Bonnie needed to put the final seals on the spell with Freya. Caroline needed to bring the girls. Alaric needed to hover and make sure the twins remained safe, not the he could have done anything if they weren’t.
And then she knew what it was to be weightless in Elijah’s arms as he carried her to the car and placed her in the passenger seat.
“I’ll ruin the fabric if my water breaks,” she flushed.
“You have more important things to think about right now,” he fastened her seatbelt.
++++
The full moon’s light filtered through the blinds in the large window, making it a few inches into the sterile space; florescent lights drowned out the celestial event.
She couldn’t see where it was, but she suspected it had risen beyond its apex.
Her fingers curled around the bed rail.
Tired eyes flickered from the cupboard holding her clothes to the well worn visitor’s chair and her concerned visitor. He appeared at once comfortable and out of place.
“How do you feel?” Elijah tilted his head.
“I just had a giant needle jabbed in my spine,” she hummed, “I feel numb.”
She allowed herself a moment to close her eyes as the drug worked its magic. It had the added benefit of cutting off their eye contact. He grew up in a time long before the existence of the epidural when women felt every contraction. His mother did it seven times. Tatia and Katherine both did it without aid.
She lasted an hour, less when she took begging for the drugs the moment they were inside, into account.
“Do you think I’m weak?” She directed the question to the IV.
“Why would I ever think that?” His brows drew together.
“Giant needle…” her lip curled.
“I think,” he began, unbuttoning his jacket, “that you were in tremendous pain and that if you gave me a month I could provide you a list a mile long of women who would have jumped for an epidural; including your own ancestor.”
“Tatia?” Her eyes narrowed. She pushed her head into the pillow. “Seriously.”
“You could hear her screams from the falls, and I am not speaking figuratively. I had taken Rebekah and Henrik swimming, ten and six at the time, when Niklaus heard the first scream. I had to strain to catch the sound. We thought the village was under attack.” Nostalgia graced his smile, tinted with sadness. “Mother gave us an earful for leaving a thirteen year old Kol in charge of our younger siblings.”
“Irresponsible?” She guessed, glancing to the machine keeping track of her contractions.
“Poor swimmer,” he chuckled. “Rebekah had a habit of swimming under the falls.”
“I used to do that,” she sighed, tightening her arm over her stomach, “there’s a little cave back there.” She blinked back tears as a contraction tore through the pain meds.
“Little more than a ledge, I’d say.”
“You’ve been?” She drew in a sharp breath.
“I did grow up here,” his smirk turned serious, “you’re not weak, Elena.”
“Thanks,” she smiled, fiddling with the hospital bracelet. “You don’t have to stay, you know? I’m okay, and I’m sure you’re dying to check on Hope.”
“Hope is surrounded by family who will immediately let me know if something goes wrong,” he reasoned. “And I do have to stay. I won’t leave you here alone.”
“I should probably get used to being alone,” she chewed her bottom lip, chomping down hard enough to bruise. Her hand curled over her belly as she sighed. “Sort of alone.”
He reached out and placed his hand near hers on the rail, not quite touching her fingers; the heart monitor jumped.
“You should never get used to being alone in any capacity.”
“I don’t see another option right now.” She tried for a wry smile.
“Aren’t you the one who was screaming there’s always another option?” He teased.
“That was different,” she shook her head. Her eyes widened when he covered her fingers.
“You gave me an option Elena, and now I’m giving you one. Now that I have the time, since I won’t be sinking to the bottom of the deepest ocean, I would offer you my support.” He gently squeezed her fingers. “You have it Elena, whatever that may entail; be it help in the dead of night when she won’t sleep, or finding out what the hell happened to you.”
Her breath caught in her throat.
“Or overhauling that nursery so you don’t have to be confused every time you put her to bed.” His thumb rubbed her wrist. “Whatever you need Elena. I give you my word.”
“Elijah,” she choked on his name and blinked back tears that she blamed on her hormones. Her sparkling eyes flicked, searching his gaze for honesty just for something to do; she knew he was honest, and that he would keep his word. “You knew it was me in Willoughby?”
“Yes,” he nodded.
“Why?” Her chest rose and fell with shaky breaths.
His eyes fell to her hospital bracelet and back to her face.
“Because I’m a very selfish man,” he sighed, “and if I thought for a second that I could get away with it I’d do it again, but that’s not likely to happen.”
Her mind flashed back to the gazebo. She felt his strong hand on her jaw and the slant of his hungry mouth; soft, exploratory and oddly gentle with a tongue that whispered sinful promises.
The question travelled up her throat and sat heavily on the tip of her tongue: ‘what if that’s what I need?’.
The door burst open before she could ask and she was forced to break their heavy stare to watch Caroline and Bonnie skid across the linoleum.
“We’ve got it from here,” Bonnie reached for her hand as Elijah let go.
“How’s Hope?” Elena blinked, swallowing her question; the moment had passed.
“She’s fine,” Caroline directed the response between them.
Elena wondered if she had been listening.
“The vessel held?” Elijah’s fingers brushed her arm.
“Yeah,” Bonnie nodded, “Kol’s keeping it safe for the time being.”
“Klaus is seeing Hope through the transformation,” Caroline explained, “and Rebekah is getting a full physical from a compelled doctor in 402.”
“I suppose I’ll go check on her.” He locked eyes with Elena on his way out, and she understood that he wouldn’t go far.
