Haha, you mean another? Because I have quite a few.  
This is probably just going to be a repeat of a bunch of things I've said in previous breakdowns but now said in this specific context.
On one level, I think they respect each other because they're both Borgias, and they understand what that means and they love each other because of that and in spite of that simultaneously.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They've both had romantic interests who do not understand them and/or are frightened of them and/or resent them and their "Borgia-ness"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and I think they respect that they can be themselves completely and utterly with each other
Tumblr media
because as they've seen, not everyone can handle a Borgia -- Cesare drove Ursula to the convent
Tumblr media
and Lucrezia drove Alfonso to drink
Tumblr media
both Paolo and Ursula end up dying because they fell for a Borgia whether directly (Paolo) or indirectly (Ursula).
But they have the will and the grit and the passion to accept and love and withstand each other and are not put off by what they do or how they act or how they think, they embrace it. Ursula couldn’t handle that Cesare killed her husband for her
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucrezia accepts the knife with Giovanni’s blood on it
Tumblr media
On a less abstract level but very much related to this, I think we see that Lucrezia respects Cesare's strength and his ferocity
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
From another post of mine:
[..] in the first scene they have together when Cesare is ready to kind of let Alfonso have it about whether or not he trusts Frederigo with the “future of his family” i.e. Lucrezia, before Alfonso reveals Lucrezia was the one who helped get Frederigo to where he is, she looks turned on
Tumblr media
which is why when 3x04 happens, she's yelling this
Tumblr media
all the things that she counts on, that she loves and that she respects.
And as much as his ambition can feel suffocating at times -- a Borgia trait
Tumblr media Tumblr media
she respects it because it's also in her
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and Cesare's respect, I think evolves throughout the series, which I've sort of spoken about in the first analysis I ever did of Cesare and Lucrezia where when we first meet them, I think he respects her innocence
Tumblr media
he doesn't want anyone else to tarnish it, he wants to protect it because he respects its existence.
After season 1, after Giovanni, we see how that sort of begins to shift to respecting her will, respecting her decisiveness as we see in 2x01 when she saves Rodrigo, she took action, she saved their father
Tumblr media
and by the end of season 3, when she poisons Alfonso and he realizes she can make these decisions, she can make these calls, he respects her ruthless kindness, he respects that she has the mark of Borgia same as him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
all the while respecting her as this breath of fresh air and this light for him.

- I must return to my husband in the morning. - Why? - Because he is my husband. Because our father needs his allegiance. - I should keep you here in chains. I suspect you would be happier.

an AU where Cesare and Lucrezia run away in season 1, before her wedding. I'm especially interested on them having a sort of secret wedding and of course their wedding night

“Cesare,” she said, after a few silent seconds had passed, “why are you so sad? Because you have to become a cardinal?”
“Yes, I suppose.” The spell my father had cast had yet to fully wear off, but the sense of disappointment was still palpable. I considered the machinations of my nine-year-old brain far too advanced for little Lucrezia, however, so I didn’t elaborate.
“And I must be married?” she asked. “That’s what Papa said?”
“Yes.”
“Like Mama and Signor di Croce?” “Yes, only…” I trailed off as I considered Lucrezia’s fate. More dread curdled my insides. “Only Papa will choose your husband, and you will go live with him.”
Lucrezia’s angelic face looked troubled at this, and I regretted causing her worry.
“Papa would never let me go away, would he?” she asked. “I don’t want to live anywhere without him and you and Mama and Juan and Jofre.”
“You’re a girl, Crezia,” I said, the best explanation I could muster. “Girls are supposed to marry.”
She considered this. “Can I marry you, Cesare?” she asked eagerly. “Then I wouldn’t have to leave you!”
I couldn’t help but look down at her and grin, despite my strange haze of disappointment mingled with pride. My first marriage proposal.
“No, Crezia,” I said patiently, taking her hand. “Brothers and sisters cannot marry. It is against God’s law. Besides,” I added, “if I am to be a cardinal, I may not marry anyone.”

Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia in season two of The Borgias (2011-2013)

no no but the insanity that is showing the narcissus (you can't kiss a reflection) scene between paolo and lucrezia which I'd argue is lucrezia seeing a reflection of her brother in paolo (because he'd taken care of the sforza problem at least temporarily) back to back with cesare convincing a hesitant ursula to sleep with him by telling her she might have both his heart and body at her mercy when he really (perhaps unconsciously) means she's a surrogate for lucrezia and then cutting to lucrezia with her skirts pulled up under paolo asking if a good thing can come from a bad thing and then flipping him over, so it ends with her on top and once again it cuts back to cesare and ursula, also having sex with cesare in the dominate position. LIKE REFLECTIONS OF EACH OTHER.

Did you notice (or is it just me) that cesera seemed to grab Lucrezia neck more in season 3? Of course she was still his soft spot and his one true love but I do see this change kind of parallel to his character getting darker in that season.
If that makes any sense at all!
Mm, I didn't make that correlation. I actually think season 2 is his darkest season and I just think in season 3 he was freer with the sexual and/or romantic nature of their physicality -- I mean they both were --
Tumblr media
and so the way he touches her in season 3 becomes a little different and the moments he grabs her neck are usually moments where there's a rush of emotion.
There's the obvious moment where he at first think she's an intruder until he recognizes it's her so a threat becomes a seduction
Tumblr media
and then there's the finale where he brings her closer after she asks him if he'll think of her when he leaves
Tumblr media
which is a kind of hold he's always done
Tumblr media
kind of like their hug in 3x09, he's so happy to have her in his arms, he also takes a hold of her neck and kind of smashes her into him -- you can't really see his hands because it's dark and they're gloved but one of them as at the side of her neck then at the back of her neck -- which is something he also does in the same episode in season 1 after, again, not seeing her for so long
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then we get the kisses
Tumblr media
What I would say the difference is is that in season 3, Cesare is outright claiming Lucrezia with his touches -- whether it's her neck or her chin
Tumblr media
whereas the first two seasons there's absolutely an undercurrent but he's not leaning into that so it might appear sweeter or more reverent than possessive (even though I think he is reverent in his possessiveness)
