#villanelle deserved better

[chestnutelm122]

Not the AMC calling Villanelle and Eve “frenemies” in their merch page and the Killing Eve IG account posting after being MIA since that shit series finale just to post this. Like, these two women clearly devoured each other’s faces and most probably fucked in the van and YOU’RE CALLING THEM FRENEMIES?!

The audacity of this bitch, really, is astounding idk whether to laugh or send Villanelle on them 😂

PS: no I won’t be adding a link to their website. Go find it yourself if you want them, but I ain’t buying that shit, no thank you ma’am.

love lies

premise: the love you have for your fiancé is a farce that you’ve perfected for three years that has gone unnoticed by everyone, except her.

pairing: villanelle x (f)reader

word count: 1.7k

contents: cheating, fingering, choking, sort of knife play, getting off to the talks of blood and murder, dirty talk-ish, they’re both a bit unhinged but that’s ok.

note: this is an au obviously so take v’s character as you will and not as what’s canon ok, but cheers to my gay ass finally writing for her!

haunted hoedown day one.

The fake smile that you know has to be hurting the blonde’s face from being held for the entirety of the night makes something in your stomach curdle. 

Makes your nerves sit on edge at the agitation, the secrets, and the lies that the smiles hold. That the owner of it is hiding. She deserves applause for keeping up with the act. The nice neighbor. The befriending of the nice couple who just moved in next door, getting close to the soon to be wife who left all her friends and troubles behind to move to Paris with her fiancé. 

A move you agreed to. 

A move you imagined would bring you and your fiancé closer. Would change that pit in your stomach that has since become a gaping hole every time you planned for the wedding. Planned to spend your life next to this man you only seemed to love when he was suffering. 

When he was vulnerable. Brow pulled down in sadness. A cut done by a kitchen knife while he was cutting vegetables that you pushed down on harder than you needed to while cleaning it. When you accidentally put the wrong salve on it, just to watch him wince and squirm. 

That look in his eyes when you were on top of him and you wrapped your fist around his throat to watch that sheen in his eyes question if you were going to let go. The last hitch in his lungs before you cut the air flow off completely. 

“I just get really into it, I'm sorry.” You had told him when he asked about it after the first time, and who was he to take away from the pleasure of the woman he loved? 

His ignorance was bliss. 

But it was also tiring. Creating that gaping hole that the love he poured out to you ran through endlessly where it should have made you whole. Full. Better. 

And yet you agreed to wear the ring he saved up to get you. Followed him across the ocean. 

Your ignorance was a farce you didn’t know how to get out of. A farce that you’ve perfected for three years. That has gone unnoticed by everyone.

Except the blonde to your left. 

The blonde, who had almost lost her touch on pretending to care about whatever was coming out of your fiancé’s mouth the longer the night went on. The longer her eyes caught yours. The longer her knee had pressed into your inner thigh after leaning herself further against the table—giving a look of fake eagerness—the more she pushed her legs between your open ones. 

Your look of warning made her fake smile twitch into her real one—devilish, mischievous. 

But now both smiles are gone and the two of you are standing in your kitchen, and you’re thankful for the dishtowels in your hands that are keeping them busy with drying because you know her resistance is running thin. 

The patience she’s had all night that has threatened to come out in the possible slip of her false accent—the accent you only found to be fake when she cornered you in the entryway of your flat, her lips against yours, your name sounding better in her rigid Russian accent than her fake French one. 

Your hands had gone from being in her hair to pushing at her shoulders, removing her from your body not because of the lie but because you needed the excuse to stop this, where every part of your being was sighing in relief from finally giving into the tension. To finally being touched by someone you actually desired. 

You may not have loved your fiancé, but starting a torrid affair with your new neighbor didn’t seem like the right way to get out of your current situation—something you eventually learned was the exact opposite. 

“I’ll be your dirty little secret, if that’s what you’re into. If it makes this easier for you. We both know he’s not your type.”

And if there was an award for reading someone completely through to their core and being right, Villanelle would win, and you’d be the loser.

“He is a very annoying chewer.” She breaks the silence, “did you know this when you accepted his proposal?” Your silent raised brow is enough for her to put her hands up in defense. “It was just an observation.” She sighs, picking up another dish, “a very annoying observation.” 

Your mind scatters to scrounge up something that sets your nerves on edge about Villanelle. To what? Stick up for the man you don’t love? Or to try and prove to her that you actually do have feelings for the man who’s in the next room carrying on with his night happily, thinking he just had a great dinner with his soon to be wife and their hospitable neighbor who’s definitely not fucking his fiancé? 

But there’s nothing to prove to the woman who can read right through you. 

Who’s gotten off at the palms you’ve both wrapped around each other's throats. 

You can’t disguise yourself in front of the queen of them. 

It’s a losing game.

A game you’re not interested in playing, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself to. 

A game you should play. To resist this woman and the detrimental feelings she brings up. The feelings that fill the void inside of you with the toxic waste of your shared fucked-upness. 

Your eyes catch the glint of the knife in Villanelle’s hands. The way her fingers run along the blade to clean it. The tight grip she has on the handle. The confidence she has in knowing she’s not going to slip and cut herself—like she’s held worse in her hands and done worse with it. 

The sight—the thought—makes you swallow harder. Makes those dark feelings and thoughts light something deep in your stomach that has you aching. That has your eyes looking up through the doorway towards the room where you know your fiancé is. 

“I could do it, you know, quick, painless. He wouldn’t feel a thing.” Her accent is thicker when she’s whispering. When she’s this close, leaning into your side, breathing against the shell of your ear. 

Her words make your grip slip, the glass in your hand tumbling into the sink, making you jump; making your thighs press together, your lungs forget how to take in air as you envision the blood that would stain your rugs, that would stain Villanelle’s skin. 

“Everything okay in there?” 

His voice is like a cold shower to the heat burning through your nerves like wildfire. 

“Yes!” Villanelle pipes up in her fake French accent, “just a case of slippery fingers.” Her laugh is short and looks misplaced with the lack of smile on her face. With the fire that’s burning in her eyes when you look up at her, that glint of something you’ve yet to see but know is within her. That you know is within you. That has always been within you if you’d just dived deep enough to face the inevitable instead of letting her touch, kiss, fuck it out of you. 

He’s still talking, saying words your ears—and your mind—refuse to register as Villanelle grips your waist and pushes you against the counter. 

The knife still in her hand, the tip pressed to your breast bone, more distracting. More worth focusing on. Stealing all your attention and breath, even as she’s replying to him. As she’s keeping up with surade like her eyes aren’t burning through you. Like you can’t see how heavy she’s now breathing. How the sheen in her eyes is the complete opposite of someone who is weak, and it turns you on even more. 

“It's worse when I push it through slowly.” Her breath ghosts over your lips as she whispers, as she leans forward, the tip of the knife presses further into your skin, making your breath catch at the sting. “I would do it so he would have already bled out before he knew what had happened to him.” The edges of her mouth rise in a soft smirk, “or would you rather me show you? So you can understand how it feels and do it yourself. You would look so good doing it.” The arousal in her voice that leaks through in the rough kiss she presses to your mouth is just as intoxicating as her words. 

You don’t have time to mourn the loss of the blade at your chest when she moves it to press the two of you closer, to grip the sides of your neck to keep your lips on her mouth. To give her easier access to lick and bite into and against your open mouth, willing—needing—all she is giving to you. 

When her hand slips up your dress, your thighs spread to give her access to where the both of you need her to be. To the cotton of your underwear and past the elastic band, to that ache that has you wet and warm and throbbing against her palm and fingers. 

Her middle finger presses against your clit, your gasp concealed by her lips, your fingers digging into the side of her shirt. 

“God, you’re so wet.” Her finger leaves your clit, the heel of her palm flush against it as she pushes a finger inside of you. “Is this all for me or for wanting him dead?” She teases and smirks when you can’t answer because you know you’ll do it too loudly. 

When you both know the answer already. 

If the two of you were alone, if you weren’t trying to be quiet—to stop the inevitable of your fiancé finding out or worse happening to him—you’d want Villanelle to keep talking. To coax you to your orgasm with her teases and remarks. To drop down to her knees and bury her face between your thighs until you were begging her for more, and then begging her to stop when she gave you too much.

But you’re not alone, and there’s only so many gasps and pants she can swallow down. Can lick out of your mouth with her tongue, thanks to her skillful fingers. 

Thanks to the palm around your throat and the thumb pressing against your pulse point. 

“One day I will kill him, and you will be mine.” 

And as you come with her name breathed into her satisfied smirk, you believe her.

You want her to. 

You know she will.

[nostalgicountry]

i think we can all agree that villanelle and eve deserved so much better than what the finale gave them, but they are not the show’s finale nor are they the writers’s, they are so many things and more, they are whatever we want them to be because the moment they are presented and given to us we experience them and by experiencing them they become ours, almost like photosynthesis. each one of us creates and cherishes and preserves our own version of villanelle and eve and nothing can take this away from you

[notoriouspat]

Having a normal one! he/him/his. 34+. I write a lot of Tyzula fanfic. Working on OCs and original stories right now. Friend of Mara's. Daenerys and Villanelle deserved better. Homura did nothing wrong. Yuri and WLW enthusiast, but will enjoy het ships as well. I enjoy a vast multitude of fandoms and I make no apologies for the diversified content and constant hopping around. I like what I like.

Please stop burying your gays. I much prefer when they get to kiss each other and have happy endings and live happy lives.

I'm an adult who spent most of my personal and professional life working to support women, gender equality, and other feminist related matters. I also use a bunch of my adult money to commission art of my fandoms.

TERFs can frick off. BLM. Stop the genocide in Palestine. AI art is not real art. Protect trans kids!

I'm not perfect. I'm always learning. Please be understanding.

Alright. Now that all of that's out of the way, what you're really here for:

Touch of the Sun: The Tyzula work that put me on the map. Ty Lee and Azula are in love from childhood, but Azula can't admit it and Ty Lee is too scared to bridge the gap. For a while at least. 90K words.

Dragon Empress: The Legend of Azula. Six books that I wrote over 3.25 years that covers Azula's entire life from post-Smoke and Shadows comics all the way to the end of her natural life. It's a lot but I think it's worth it. Long, long, long form redemption. Tyzula endgame. 465K words.

My Moon Flower: This one is well known because I collaborated with rising super star and Tyzula fan Vago to make a comic of it for Tyzula Week 2023. 5.9K words.

February 20th: Azutara. Arguably the best thing I've ever written. Has inspired fan art! Modern AU. Azula and Katara don't realize how much of their lives are intertwined. That's the beauty of every day life: we don't know what's going to happen on any given day. 11K words.

Autumn Leaves Trilogy: Digimon fic. Rukato. Long form trilogy series I wrote over 14 years. The first fics I ever did write. The last one, "Autumn Ends" is worth reading and I'm quite proud of it. 112K words.

Alright, I think that's about it. You can connect with my better on the blue bird app. I'll talk to anyone about Tyzula, at the very least.

[wearevillaneve]

Hey, y'all. I ain't dead yet and neither is this blog. Surprised? Yeah. Me too. But anyway...

Here's a question for you we've been discussing on the Killing Eve Reddit forum. Pop Quiz: Who is the MOST useless character in the entire run of Killing Eve? BZZZTTT!!! Sorry. There are multiple wrong answers, but only one right one. It's not Yusuf. Yusuf served as Eve's trainer and tech support in S4. He wasn't necessary but he's not useless.

It's not Hugo. Hugo replaced Kenny as tech support, accompanied Eve on the Rome op and she hopped on his knob. Hugo blocked a bullet and Eve left him to go to save her girlfriend. Hugo returned in S4 and served as the MI6 link for Carolyn. Hugo is not necessary, but he wasn't useless either.

It's not Pam. She had a ton of screen time and gave Konstantin a reason to be in S4. She would take him out in a stupendously stupid way, and had connections to Eve, Villanelle, Carolyn, Konstantin, and Hélène. Pam was necessary and certainly not useless.

That only leaves one candidate. The most deserving and obvious of the title, Most Useless Character. That is, of course...

GERALDINE. GERALDINE. GERAL-FUCKING-DINE.

Geraldine contributed nothing. Nothing but whining and moping around. She was introduced to give Carolyn someone to moan and groan to once Kenny was turned into street pizza, and then out of nowhere, Geraldine shows up with her wonky carrots to bang her mother's ex-boyfriend. ICK.

Take Geraldine out of S3 and what do you lose? There could have been some other character like Mo for Carolyn to show how wrecked she was by her son's death. I was hoping Geraldine would turn out to be the person who pushed Kenny off the roof so she could take her mother's favorite child out of the picture and replace him. That would have been better than what Suzanne Heathcote did when she wasted Gemma Whalen's talents.

Geraldine was the personification of an nothingburger. A big, fat, greasy NOTHINGBURGER. 🍔 The most useless character ever in Killing Eve's entire 32 episodes. Prove me wrong.

Commander Lexa (The 100) — the love of my life, my number one from now until the end of time, deserved a far better ending and I will forever be bitter about it.

Ellie Williams (The Last of Us) — I would walk through fire for this character. I love her more than my own life.

Bix Caleen (Andor) — it was so hard to only pick one Star Wars character, but she really has a special place in my heart now. Also deserved better. Tony Gilroy I am in your fucking walls.

Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption 2) — all I wanted to do was root and toot and yee and haw, but this game made me deeply love this man. I frequently cry about him.

Jessica Jones (Marvel) — she’s an absolute mess, she’s an asshole, but by god does she try.

Emma of Normandy (Vikings: Valhalla) — look, I’m usually strongly Team Viking in these shows, but her first scene made me switch sides in record time. I will also defend her actions in s2 with my full chest. I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs.

Senua (Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) — I haven’t even played this game myself, but it completely altered my brain chemistry. Senua truly reached into my fucking soul. I cry when I think about her for more than a few minutes. “All she needed was a little help. A little hope.”

Villanelle (Killing Eve) — everything is wrong with her <3

Lestat de Lioncourt (Interview With The Vampire) — everything is wrong with him <3

Inej Ghafa (Six of Crows) — One of the most perseverant characters I’ve ever read. The end of her story is so beautiful and it makes me full on sob every single time without fail.

[antitheticaally]

I like speaking in asks better (like letters!) so lemme just yap

I love villanelle so villanelle focused I will eat up I’m just afraid they will make her like…remorseful. Like no I prefer her crazy (what’s that say about me lmao someone do an analysis)

but Fr it feels dishonest to her character like she’s literally a psychopath

I do know the ending and FUCK the ending. Like wdym your gonna kill villanelle wdymmm that’s so stupid. I might watch the third season and then just say they’res not a 4th season cause numerous people have told me that it ruined the series for them. Or perhapsssss I will just watch the first season again

I do really like the second season tho just for like. The kills? Like the doll guy (🤢) and Raymond (wit the ax! Frothing at the mouth) and just all so good.

and then they killed Kenny and I was like •_• what the hell. Why are you gonna do him like that

anyway it’s literally so good I need to force someone to watch it with me immediately

oh my god i just tried to type this all in my phone and it VANISHED before i could post it so i'm trying again???

like letters!!! oh i love that.

okay okay okay SO idk how you will feel about season three then. i'm very curious. it's definitely very villanelle centric, but they do make her.... softer? i guess? more emotional? I wouldn't necessarily classify it as remorseful, so much as her being like, tired and fed up with everyone using and manipulating her for their own gain her whole life and like, to what end?? but it could definitely be taken as remorse in some instances so... hmm. that's just my opinion though.

I also totally prefer her crazy. I love a hot woman who could murder me at any given moment so no judgement here lol. BUT I am not. Entirely convinced that she is a psychopath. Now hear me and my psychology student delusions out for a moment, I definitely think she has anti-social personality disorder (the official DSM-5 diagnosis that psychopathy comes from) but I think she leans more towards sociopathy than psychopathy for a few reasons. That I will not get into right now. BUT I COULD DO AN ENTIRE PSYCHOANALYSIS OML.

seriously FUCK the ending (and fuck killing kenny too, my boy deserved better than that) literally WHAT was the point.

don't watch season four. you will HATE the beginning of season 4 especially if you hate the idea of villanelle being remorseful at all. they really went off the rails and butchered both her and eve's characters it makes no sense especially from where they leave off in season three.

literally the only thing in season four worth watching are a select few scenes between eve and vil during the last episode, including and absolutely beautiful kiss scene. but literally JUST GOOGLE IT and spare yourself the rest. or i will literally hand record all the scenes remotely worth watching and inbox them to you. straight up.

i have the (unpopular???) opinion of season two maybe being my favorite? i just adore the dynamics of eve and vil trying to work together, and vil just looks. incredible. that whole season. (the axe scene!!!!! the axe scene makes me INSANE.)

anywhoooo it's a beautiful show and please continue to yap. always. anytime. <3
