The relationship between the Original Vampire Elijah Mikaelson and the tribrid-doppelgänger Alexandria Gilbert.

They first meet when Rose kidnaps Alex and Elena in order to gain their freedom by handing her over to Elijah for the intention of using them as a sacrifice.

They later make a deal to help each other destroy their common enemy, Elijah's brother, Klaus. During this time, Alex's actions and her willingness to put herself in harm's way to protect the people she loves earn her Elijah's respect and admiration. He sees a lot of the qualities he values in people in her. They both care about each other as friends.

They later meet again in New Orleans after he discovers that she is being held hostage by witches. Once he is told that she is pregnant with his brother's child, he allows her to move into the Mikaelson Mansion with him, Klaus and later Rebekah. During the first few months of living under the same roof, their friendship grows to be very close and strong then it did before. Later on, Alex tells Klaus that she relied on Elijah because he was nice to her from the begin when they met.

They begin to trust and protect each other even more during their fights against witches and vampires and spend more time together despite Elijah's fear of upsetting Klaus and endangering Alex. Elijah becomes very overprotective when it comes to the safety of Alex.

When Alex was about to die because of Mikael, Elijah was very afraid of losing her and decided to open up to her about what he felt for her. Alex tells him that he loves him like a brother and doesn't feel what he felt.

They are often referred as "Alijah" by fans.
