Oh, Lady. This-- I don't really know what to say here, aside from: this is quite possibly my favorite thing you've written. I don't know why, really, except that it feels so honest, somehow, for some reason I can't quite put my finger on but maybe has to do with Elena's realization and the way it happens in moments and how right everything feels. I've never even thought of shipping these two, but this feels... perfect. Thank you so much for sharing it.
