Summary
“What if it doesn’t work, Elena?” Damon asked.
She pressed her lips into a firm line. It had been the same thought she had the first time Elijah had mentioned the elixir when he couldn’t promise that it would work. It hadn’t been made before Katerina, nor after. It was singular in purpose with no trial and error rate.
But she knew the risk and had told him as much in private.
Klaus needed her for the sacrifice. He had come to town and tormented her friends and family because of her. And Elijah had offered a potential way for her to protect everyone and for her to make it out the other side.
It had to be enough.
“Then I guess I’ll just be dead.”

Where in Damon respecting Elena's wishes in taking the elixir before the sacrifice makes all the difference. -

Summary
Elena turned her head into the duvet and screamed into the mattress. Blood curdling, bone chilling, soul deep. Loud and long like a wounded animal until no other voice remained besides the one that poured from her. Everything, all of it flooded into her scream, the dam finally breached and all the sorrow set free.
The world was not fair. It was not balanced in any sense of the word no matter what witches preached. It was vindictive and spiteful and somehow Elena had accumulated all of its ire out of her mere existence.
Maybe it would be better to let it crush her: truly, utterly.
Or:
Elena Gilbert is tired of the world and being the focal point of its retribution for others' wrongdoings.

Summary
Sirius Black had never known peace in his life. It wasn’t the war that broke him, or the death of his made family. It had started long before in a ward at St. Mungo’s when he had been given the name of Black. It had been so crushing to stay alive and he barely managed when it took so many people to keep him righted and solid. Maybe that was why he made such terrible choices. It was selfish that for one of the last moments he was happy he didn’t have to stay any longer. He watched the two even as the silver wisps cradled his head and held his hands and hugged him with such warmth he had never realised how cold and worn down he had truly been.
Being Sirius Black was an exhausting existence.
