Why this must be read:
This is one of my favorite stories in the lotrips fandom. I'm not a big Elijah fan, but this fic, in my opinion, contains an incredibly believable Elijah. An Elijah created in light of the things we do know about him, instead of trying to shade in the things that we don't. He is dark and misshapen and almost without conscience. This is an Elijah who has spent his whole life being paid to be someone else, being told by PR and aesthetics to -be- someone else, be something marketable and noncontroversial and easy.
While I have always been a fan of Dom, I don't think that bias has anything to do with loving the way she's written him in this fic. You can feel his warmth and his bitterness, his apathy. He is full and rounded and almost real enough to touch. This is a Dom who wants, or needs, enough to take anyway he can, even if that means things will never be quite right, quite real.
The fic is a little dark, shadowed as it is by the wants and needs and idiosyncrasies of two people who are vastly different. One who understands and one who probably never will.
Paid.
