This really gave me all the feels and I loved every bit of it. Elena's pain is so terrible and raw, while Elijah felt to me like he was barely hanging on to his control over his emotions.
Their confrontation was excellent, and I adored the image of the fireplace and the meaning behind it - these two are always pushing and pulling at each other and this captured it so well.
The sex was beautifully written and it made sense that even if an understanding was reached between them, she'd still feel the guilt, like she didn't deserve his kindness - it was just perfect, especially as Elijah said he never wanted to hurt her.
The ending I loved - it's very Elena - always pulling through, even when she's been to hell and back with more ahead of her. And that she has Elijah there with her as she realizes this is beautiful.
