elijah and rebekah looking at their mother
#I say mother and not esther because that’s who they see here#a thousand years and their mother is standing before them offering promises of forgiveness and family#and I wish we had a moment with rebekah and esther in the dangerous liaisons episode#rebekah’s is so heartbreaking because even though she knows her mother wants her dead#she’s still a girl who spent a thousand years crying out for her mother#she’s still a girl who grieved for her mother’s death.. twice#she’s a girl who has mourned her mother for a thousand years#and I love the moment with elijah#he is so vulnerable here and it’s such a foreign thing to see him like that#I really find their relationship so interesting because it’s elijah who has esther hesitating#elijah mikaelson#rebekah mikaelson#episode dangerous liaisons#episode the heart of darkness
