Killing Eve S3E3 (2020) / Poor Things (2023)

Geraldine writing a well thought out and emotional letter to Carolyn only for Carolyn to grab her notebook turn to an empty page and say I think you should leave my house was the funniest shit ever

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Killing Eve (TV 2018) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Eve Polastri/Villanelle | Oksana Astankova Characters: Eve Polastri, Villanelle | Oksana Astankova, Dasha (Killing Eve), other characters are mentioned but they're not rly there so Additional Tags: alternate 3x6, I know there's like a thousand 3x6 fics where Eve goes to Villanelle's place but, I needed to get this out of my chest ok, Hurt/Comfort, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Crying, lots and lots of crying, Dialogue Heavy, cannot stress this enough these girls talk a lot, Nightmares, Panic Attacks, mentions of abuse (implied), Hopeful Ending, Fluff, some humor? I try my best anyway, Season/Series 03, hey take a shot every time u read the words 'soft' or 'softly' in this fic, and try not to die of alcohol poisoning Summary:

"You're in my house." It wasn't a question, more of a statement of general acceptance.

"Yeah, I...yes." Eve knew she was way out of her dept here, but it was also too late to turn around now, and frankly, she didn't want to. This side of Villanelle was one she hasn't seen before, and would maybe, probably, never see again.

"Why are you here, Eve?"

She would've expected a teasing tone, maybe even flirtatious, if this had been like any of their previous encounters, but Villanelle just sounds so tired.

"I'm-" Eve's breath hitches. I'm here because someone tried to kill my husband. I'm here because I was following Dasha. I'm here because I wanted to see you. "I'm here for you."

 Or, an alternate version on the ending of 3x6 where Eve follows Dasha to Villanelle's home. Includes copious amounts of crying, an even larger amount of touching, average breakfast food, and that one Florence + The Machine song.

Hey so idk if anyone still cares about Killing Eve (specially season 3), but I wrote 9k words about it so. Bon appetit

I should’ve shot you in the head.

I should’ve shot you in the head and watched you die.

I can’t stop thinking about you.

They killed my boy ;n;

I CANT BELIEVE THEY KILLED KENNY

I think season 3 and 4 of Killing Eve paled in comparison to the first two because the writers (of the show) became overly concerned with morals— their own morals, not the characters'.

#KillingEve Season 3 (2020), a British spy #thriller tv series on #PrimeVideo, "continues the story of two women with brutal pasts, addicted to each other but now trying desperately to live their lives without their drug of choice. All seems fine until a shocking and personal death sets them on a collision course yet again." Based on the #Villanelle novels by #LukeJennings.

Little rage update to this because I found one of the articles again:

Imagine being so out of touch with your own production, you think Villanelle is happiest when murdering people.

As if she didn’t give a WHOLE MONOLOGUE about how she used to kill in a desperate attempt to find any sensation at all. As if she didn’t come out of that darkness through finally processing some of her trauma & building this relationship with Eve during S1-3.

As if that whole S3 finale never happened: The conversation with Carolyn, begging her to see value in anything besides her ability to kill, and despair when Carolyn refuses. The cracks in her voice while they dance as it finally hits her, all the people she’s killed, and she doesn’t want to kill anymore, but she steels herself & puts on one last show to kill the woman who’s after Eve bc she finally trusts Eve enough to start to be vulnerable & let her in & trust that she’ll still be there & not find her monstrous or disgusting when she gets back; the grimace as she leans into Eve on the bridge, letting her go bc it’s the selfless-love thing to do.

Villanelle didn’t send Eve up to distract the partiers because she’s happiest when killing people. (She wanted to be a goddamn interior decorator 😭 I’m begging y’all to LISTENNN.) That hasn’t been the case since season ONE, and that wasn’t even the FULL STORY back THEN. She sent her up there because she has processed her shit & she knows how horrible and irreversible it is to kill somebody. But she knew the Twelve had to die—for Eve’s sanity, Villanelle’s freedom & for them to have any chance at a free life together. So she saved Eve from that burden. Let her feel like she helped by dancing it out at a wedding, shining her light. Steeled herself, just like in S3, and got the job done.

Bc did y’all see her relief when she got back to Eve on the bridge? When it was over? The troubled expression as she watched Eve walk into the wedding? How the only time she smiled was when she came out of the kitchen to listen to Eve give her officiant speech about their relationship, and then she disappeared again—just grimacing during the killing (which was a 1 vs 12 fight without Eve btw, so ofc she couldn’t be clean about it)? Did you see the desperately sad way she kissed Eve at the bottom of the stairs before she sent her off, knowing what she was about to have to put herself through and wanting to soak in that goodness, to remind herself she’s loved somewhere before she went in and did that? How her whole body shakes after the last killing & she only smiles again once the weapon drops from her hand—as she realizes that might be the last time she ever has to do this?

Eve and Villanelle went in opposite, parallel directions over the course of the show, crashing into/embracing each other to finally find that balance and understanding. And hilariously (in the context of Neal’s comments), that journey means if anything, EVE is the one who “enjoys killing” at this point 😂 NOT Villanelle.

I literally don’t understand how any reasonable person even could come to the conclusions Laura Neal did in good faith, much less the goddamn show-runner. But then, she didn’t do it in good faith, did she. She sent the mentally ill queer woman on a quest to purify herself of sin through JESUS for 80% of a season & then SHOT her & threw her in the THAMES, the site of Eve’s acceptance in S3, so that Eve, as the formerly “straight” woman who was in love with her, could have the “relief” of getting her “NORMAL LIFE” back—

I’M—

How long am I gonna be explaining to people, I wonder:

Villanelle is a compelling and relatable character—and so similar to Catra—& her relationship with Eve heart wrenching to watch because she turned herself into a weapon at a young age so no one could hurt her anymore? (And Catra and Villanelle are both power bottoms, and no, that’s not a joke—it’s character info.)

It’s why her backstory episode with her mom in S3, and the final shot of her crying on the train, are so perfect, for all people’s complaints about S3. And then she grew and changed. And Eve came back. And she let someone hurt her. She let someone in.

Because no, most people don’t have mental health scarring to the degree that Villanelle has. (A lot of that—the spy stuff, the Twelve—can be read as a way to personify a general sense of governmental repression anyway.) But there’s something very real about being a soft-hearted person who forced yourself to become a survivor, scrapping from day to day to find any reason to live, and then finally finding someone who understands you and doesn’t want to hurt you.

And for Eve, it was compelling because she was closeted. All the trappings of her old life—from Nico and their flat full of chickens, to her desk job—were symbolic of repressive, misogynistic, comp-het culture as a whole. Villanelle represented burning all of it down: rebellion, anarchy, honesty, freedom.

And it is absolute crap—not to mention WILDLY homophobic—that it would be anything RESEMBLING a “relief” for her to lose that freedom; to say her queerness and desire for more were a phase, and she’d be happier going back into repression.

It’s crap. And it’s one of the many reasons I have to be a writer.

If we were standing on a bridge together and we agreed to stand back to back and then walk directly forward without looking back because our obsession with each other was slowly destroying all the good things that remained of us would you still look back anyway? Yes or no?

is this too niche

HAPPY BAD BATCH EVE

[whoblewboobear]

JacePorter Killing Eve au where Agent Porter Cliffbreaker is tasked with hunting down new to the scene assassin Jace Stardiamond.

Jace loves what he does and the money for gorgeous clothes & impeccable disguises doesn’t hurt, but it does get a little monotonous from time to time. It’s the same thing day in and day out: get an assignment, travel to the destination, make the kill, rinse and repeat. But this detective that’s on his tail is quite interesting. Playing with him for a while couldn’t hurt.

Porter is just as intrigued with Jace, maybe even a little obsessive. He’s never seen someone be so flashy and yet so precise and careful about murder until Jace starts slipping up. Or maybe Jace just wants to be found by his new plaything. Nonetheless, Porter will find him even if it kills him and ruins his life. He. Will. Catch. Him

But not if Jace catches him first 😉
