i love writing eve so much. 

it all comes down to you

Killing Eve | M | Eve/Villanelle 

Coffee Shop AU: Eve knows who he is because his face is constantly plastered on the news but she would know that he’s a politician and a total dick by the way he’s dressed, the way he talks, the general aura of corruption and greed surrounding him—oh, and his tips are shit. That’s a pretty big tell.

She cares a lot less about him than the girl who’s been watching him.

i was genuinely not expecting to want to write in this fandom so much but here’s the first bit of a coffee shop au I GUESS


Eve doesn’t actually know who he is but she knows that he’s a politician by the way that he’s dressed, the way he talks, the general aura of corruption and greed surrounding him—oh, and his tips are shit. That’s a pretty big tell.

She cares a lot less about him than the girl who’s been watching him.

Originally, she was just taking notes about her in her head when she had free moments but there’s a lot to notice, so she’s got a notepad tucked in her back pocket to add observations. Like today—she’s wearing a pale pink lace dress, honey blonde hair pulled up into a bun. She’s radiating innocence and, after five days of trailing this guy into the coffee shop, she gets up and walks with gently swaying hips to speak to him.

Or more likely flirt with him, based on the way she leans forward, the way his eyes drink her in.

She’s gorgeous. Maybe she’s trying to marry for money, because otherwise she’d have no reason to be approaching him when she could probably have anyone else in the room.

“Seductive,” Eve murmurs, watching the way she smiles, pulling out the notepad to jot down a few things.

“What?” Trevor, her coworker, asks.

“Uhm—nothing,” she says, smiling. “Just talking to myself.”

Fifteen minutes later, they leave together.

Interesting.

…I was not going to watch Killing Eve but now I think I should. Are your fic’s delightful wlw duo actually canon or just canon-adjacent? (Either way, Great Fic!!)

~spoilers~ 

they don’t get together at the end but it was close and the mutual attraction/obsession is canon.

and you should deeeeefinitely watch it. I loved it and I rarely watch shows that aren’t comedies anymore. 

DON’T LOOK AT ME

returnsandreturns:

Eve goes back to
London.

She gets a shitty
flat of her own and a job that’s a step below the one she started out with
before she set her eyes on justice in the shape of a goddamn peerless woman with a knife in her boot
and a gun behind her back. Eve torched her life to find Villanelle and now she’s
back where she started, nothing in her hands, nothing behind her back, nothing.

Eve goes back to
London before she knows if Villanelle lived through what she did to her, what
felt like the only reasonable conclusion to being in bed with a psychopath who’s
been targeting her. Even though, underneath the feeling of her heart pounding
and her hand getting sweaty around the knife’s handle, she is aware of three
things: there are so many ways that she could fuck this up and end up dead, a
few weeks ago she wouldn’t have been able to hurt someone like she’s about to,
and she wants to kiss Villanelle more than she’s ever wanted to kiss anyone in
her life.

The thought makes
her nauseous even though it’s not surprising.

Obsessions often
turn sexual, even when it shouldn’t.

And she is—obsessed.

I WROTE MORE BECAUSE I AM ALSO OBSESSED
