Summary: Set in S2-4. Based on “How You Remind Me.”
*American Gothic- Day*
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I’m sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle

It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah in an alleyway in Pennsylvania.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he accused her.
“No, of course you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.”
He turned his face away and she put her hand down.
“You don’t believe me,” she realized.
He looked at her.
“I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.”
He began to walk away.
She caught up with him, resting a hand on his arm.
He stopped walking and looked at her, then her hand, then her, then her arm, and finally her again.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away, knowing that she’d lost his trust when she’d lied to him. Even if it was only one time.
*American Gothic- Night*
These five words in my head
Scream, “are we having fun yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It’s not like you didn’t know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood in front of him on a sidewalk, stopping him from going anywhere.
“Wait.”
“What do you want?” he questioned, irritated, wanting to be left alone.
“To tell you that you’re right. I’ve spent so much time running and lying just to survive that I---I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out.”
She took the vial of the cure out of her purse and set it in his hand.
“You have the cure,” he stated.
“Yes. And I can shove this down Klaus’ throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want that to happen. You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”
He was silent and looked at the cure, before watching her walk away.

It’s not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I’m mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream “are we having fun yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

It was a nebulous night, as Elijah stood in front of her, having just told her that he had chosen to go to New Orleans to help Klaus. He was following Klaus to New Orleans. He still loved her, but at the time, he felt like he had to once again choose his family over her. And so he chose his family over love just like he always did.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded with him, wanting him to stay with her so they could finally be together without Klaus’ interference.
“Katerina.” He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
She watched with a broken heart, as he walked away once again, choosing Klaus over her. This time though, she knew that this was partly her fault for lying to him. She’d broken his trust. She understood that he didn’t know if he could trust her or not anymore.

It was a beautiful day, as Katerina and Elijah played chase on the Mikaelson estate. She stopped and laughed, saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He smiled and replied, saying, “Well, if I catch you then the game will be over.”
