but let’s talk about this though. that man had done nothing but seek redemption and hope for his family. hes mastered how to compartmentalize and put his own needs and desires aside for their happiness. he finds satisfaction in knowing they are thriving. he disregards his own demons, voices in his head and fulfillment always for them. anything for them. everything for them especially that little viking boy who’s fathers hand made one too many a wound. elijah usually gets overlooked right. people usually do him wrong and then do right by him when its too late right. and now. his siblings cant keep away because they miss the one person who made that always and forever promise a real reality for them, let that sink all the way in. how nice is it going to be. when he wakes from this and realises all the fears and doubts he’s ever had about his siblings’ loyalty is so easily eradicated in the memory that for seven years they struggled to do without him. so much so they were the ones putting themselves at risk. for time. little time with him. for a hint, a glimmer, a moment that reminded then or their darling brother. in his corner, fighting his battles, protecting him. that shit? oh my fricken gawd my heart. i just want that boy to get his memories back and feel that reciprocation of over a thousands years not wasted. i need that acknowledgement when he’s back in his right mind. you are good elijah, you are good and you are loved. by so many and so much and by none other than your family the most.
