It’s not that I’m against Jon killing Elias, narratively it makes obvious and satisfying sense and we do get Elias’s “good luck” which still makes me insane to this day, etc.
but ALSO i kinda want to see the version where Elias is right. Where Jon can’t do it. Where Jon is all powerful and godlike and vengeful and when his hands grasp Elias’s wrists, when he’s on top of him full of anger his teeth bared ready to kill the man who made him who he is today, instead he sees all he is today and he crumbles against Elias’s chest and he weeps.
and elias takes a deep, shuddering breath (because the fear WAS here) and then murmurs “there, there. It’s quite alright, Jon. Truly. You are magnificent. It’s alright, I love you.” and gently wrap his arms around him and they lay on the floor like that, as the Eye Watches.
