How did they meet? Trevor fed her to the Mikaelsons
Who flirted with who first? Katerina was definitely big eyes at him
Was it love at first sight or a slowburn romance? Definitely slow burn
Did they start dating right away or were they friends before things became romantic? .......... there were definitely complications, but friends first
What was their first date? HER first date was a walk in the court yard. HIS first date was coffee in the 21st century.
Who kissed who first? She definitely kissed him first (and she doesnt usually)
Who started the relationship? Katerina in 1492
NEXT STEPS & HARDSHIPS.
Monogamy or Polyamory? HIS preference is Mono. She isnt thrilled but she'll do it for him.
Are they/do they plan on getting married? Neither of them really see it as necessary? But if she wanted it he would have a discussion.
Who proposed? Was it a yes or no? He would as is traditional and she obviously would say yes bc fairy tale romance.
Do they want kids? Who brought it up first? Katherine has way too much guilt over Nadia to really ever willingly try again. The kid would have to fall into her lap for katherine to accept retrying.
Do they already have kids, together or from previous relationships? Katherine has Nadia but she's cranky
How often do they fight? What about? Moderately often but as time goes on and Elijah understands her better he learns how to speak her language and eventually can understand an issue before it becomes a fight. She however will still pick them for attention. Their only real big relationship problem is Klaus.
Have they ever broken up? Several times.
Messy breakup, amicable split, remain friends, ride or die or til death do us part? Yes.
SEX.
In the bedroom - Vanilla, a little spice, or kinky af? Its a range and a range she loves. Not everything has to be 50 shades, sometimes its just intimate connection and that's important to her because sex has long lost its connection to intimacy for Katherine and she enjoys finding it sometimes with him.
For applicable ships - who tops/bottoms? Katherine WANTS TO TOP but she only gets to on special occasions. He usually ends up brat taming. (She loves it)
For applicable ships - who is more dominant/submissive? Katherine's really only submissive for Elijah. Due to her control issues she's high key always got to be in charge, but Elijah is a lot the same? But goes out of his way to make her feel safe and secure in anyway that he can so she's over time learned to let go a little bit and let him lead.
What is their favorite sex position? With her new found submissiveness she's found she really likes hen he bends her over stuff, or picks her up to fuck her against a wall.
Do either of them enjoy bringing sex toys into the bedroom? They can but that man doesnt need them.
Favorite place to have sex? She's not picky.
Most adventurous place they’ve had sex? Shower, shes working him up to doing more public things.
Do they do anything else in the bath/shower other than wash? How often? They do and usually when she teases him into it.
What are some of their favorite things about their partner sexually? To put it blatantly Katherine says his dick. And if she had to speak for Elijah she would say judging by the way he slides his hands over her body so reverently he really likes her curves
TOGETHER.
Do they have any routines/rituals in their relationship? He works and she usually comes in around the same time for attention if he's home. She does shoot him a random message here and there to let him know hes on her mind, even if its just a meme.
How do they take care of each other when they are sick/hurt? Well they're vampires so they don't really get sick or hurt, but when Katherine is struggling mentally he's very attentive and has learned to read certain signs to gauge what he needs to do to help if she cant tell him how.
Who is the better dancer? Elijah for sure if we're talking traditional. If we're talking club style then Katherine.
How do they like to spend time together? Honestly doing just about anything. Shes ok with just existing together. Sometimes she'll put ear buds in and watch stuff on her phone while shes in his lap and he's reading.
What are their favorite non-sexual forms of intimacy? Katherine likes to show him things that make her laugh even if he wont understand them he shows interest even if its just in her smile. GAMES she loves games. He loves to cook for her, every so often trying to coax her into eating a veggie (it never works sorry) but really they just like being together.
What are some of their favorite things about their partner? Katherine loves how gentle he is with her, shes never really been treated quite like this. He somehow treats her like glass without ever underestimating her or denying that she is formidable. She loves that he wants to do right by her. He loves how shes so uniquely and unapologetically her, even if that's a handful often at times.
How do they comfort the other when they are upset? Elijah doesn't often let her know hes upset, and if she can tell it's really bad. But she tries to be there for him, reassure him. Validate him (unless theyre fighting about Klaus). Katherine is a grab bag and it really depends on what triggered her but Elijah busts his ass to give her what she needs so she feels safe and cared for.
Who buys the other spontaneous gifts? Katherine FINDS things like the scavenger she is, that she thinks he will like and brings them to him. He will actually spontaneously get her gifts because he knows she likes them.
What position do they sleep in? He sleeps on his back or side, she sleeps either with her head on his chest, on her side, or like Vecna got her.
Do they bathe/shower together? Yes, its an adorable bonding activity they do every now and then.
What are their favorite things to do on date nights? Dinner and walks, sometimes a movie, sometimes he takes her dancing. And of course they finish off date night the right way ;)
Do they still go on dates after being together for a while? Oh absolutely Elijahs not gonna stop treating his woman.
What is their love language? if I had to pick one that worked for both, Acts of service. Which is why sometimes even though she knows he doesn't expect it of her she will attempt to do something domestic, like vacuum.
Who’s a cat person and who’s a dog person? They're both cat people. Elijah doesn't have time for a dog and theyre too needy for katherine.
Who likes the outdoors more and who likes the indoors more? They both prefer more the indoors but Katherine does like to go out and do things, she will go on walks and drag him along and every now and then she'll goad him into playing tag with her.
Who’s more social? They both can be, but Katherine likes attention more.
Who makes the bed every morning? Maids, it sure as shit ain't Katherine.
Who likes to keep the house cold and who likes to keep the house warm? They like it (she likes it so he has to) at a nice middle ground.
Who takes longer getting ready? Weirdly Elijah.
Who likes scary movies and who likes funny ones? Elijah is more a book person Katherine makes him watch movies.
Who screams when they see a bug and who ends up killing it? Neither of them. Katherine will literally tell it to go somewhere else she just doesn't care that hard "Oh hey. Move you're on my shit" and thats it. Elijah might tell a maid to handle it if its inconveniencing him.
Who is more technology challenged? Katherine is more up to date bc Elijah likes his traditional things but hes not like "challenged" he picks it up really quickly. Occasionally he'll ask her if she happens to know if something is possible on a computer and how to do it.
Who would be more likely to burn something in the oven? Katherine. She's literally not allowed to cook.
Who talks in their sleep? Katherine and its always sad.
