Oh, I absolutely love this, it's gorgeous and beautiful and sorrofully sweet. I love how you've done Elena's voice and Rebekah's voice and Katherine's voice, each so distinct and yet going together so well. And Savage Garden lyrics tying it all together, lovely.

And maybe what hurts the most is the fact that he doesn't sound surprised at all.
Such a gut punch, awesome.

She also shouldn't be bothered by this, because the fact that she is an Original means that she is stronger than both of them put together; she could crush them under the heel of one of her pretty stilettos if she wanted to.

(if she wanted to.)

She's already given Damon a taste of her special brand of cruelty, and now she's given the brothers a reason to truly mourn; she's given them a reason to hunt her down and she's given herself a reason to kill them both.

This bit is just so evocative, and there's so much to it, and it's just so Rebekah. I love the duality at play here.

She can't, because her stupid, fragile (dead) heart has already (unfortunately)

Oh wow. Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I'm so glad you liked the fic and I was so nervous to post it. :) Thank you as well for pointing out the lines that stood out to you and that you liked--that means a lot to me, when a reader takes the time to do something like that.
