welcome to The Negotiators, a tumble-blog dedicated to the characters elena gilbert and elijah mikaelson of the vampire diaries, their relationship, and the brilliant actor and actress that portray them: nina dobrev and daniel gillies. i aim to be a source of shameless fangirling over all the eye!sex and general badassery they bring to the show by providing you with endless quotes, gifs, videos, and all the pretties tumblr has to offer.

"Together we can protect everybody that matters to you. So do we have a deal?" "I need you to do one more thing for me." "We're negotiating now?"

The Doppelgänger & The Original___________________
“Elijah, out of everyone, is the only person who’s actually forming an alliance with her, so her biggest enemy is her closest ally.” - Nina Dobrev

“It’s funny because I know a lot of fans want Elijah with Katerina, but he’s attracted to who a person is in their soul and Katerina is nowhere near the person Elena is. I think Elijah came to town thinking he’d deal with all this doppelganger business quickly and be done with it. But things got complicated when he saw this girl – I think Elijah fell for Elena harder than he ever fell for Katerina. In my opinion” - Daniel Gillies
