The feels just keep on coming!

I love how the timelines are alternating and I am such a sucker for the way you write Kol. ♥

I love how Bonnie isn't letting anyone off the hook and Rebekah is just breaking my heart. (As is the lack of Elena/Elijah feels, but I understand why.)

Excellent!

um can i just tell you how amazing your icon is? adfbajsdfasd brings me back to the "elena." "elijuhh." scene and i just can't - in love with the way he says her name.

AND DO YOU NOTICE HOW HE ALWAYS SAYS KATERINA WITH A SORT OF FLOURISH. GOD ELIJAH. NEVER CHANGE.

Thank you! I was experimenting in photoshop and instead of coming out looking heinously abused, it turned out quite nice! :D

YES. IT'S LIKE PORN, TBH.

Makes me want to know if he was the same way with Tatia. I WONDER IF HE PRACTICES IT.

thank you so much! yes, i think i've found my niche: angst and humour stuffed into one huge satchel of crack. :)

I absolutely love all of the chapters, you do all the humour and sorrow and characterisation of it so well.

I love how you set up the timeline of this chapter the back and forth time wise is brilliant. I love your parenthetical remarks, especially in the first bit where Klaus, Stefan, and Caroline all have such different, and funny, reactions to Rebekah attacking Kol. I also love, love, love Caroline and Rebekah having fun together. I like your Kol in this too, you've characterized him as such a child and it's kind of perfect switching from making things funny to poignant because he acts so young and he's dying. I also love the idea of Caroline and Stefan hanging around watching reality tv while brooding and then have apparently deep conversations together because I love their BFFery.

Gosh, I love your comments so so so much. Thanks! Btw can I add you as a friend?

I'm glad! Yeah of course, I thought I replied to your comment on my FO post, but my comments have been a bit screwed up recently.
