All I have to say is where is season 2??

spoilers!
Will Villanelle forgive Eve for stabbing her? Will Eve forgive Villanelle for being an international assassin? What the hell are either of them going to do now? What the hell is up with Carolyn?


Anyway I am awash with a desire for both futurefic and many AUs, including one that has taken over my mind where Eve is the international assassin and Villanelle works for MI5.

I'm curious about your role reversal fic idea. In that situation would Villanelle still be a psychopath but be successfully hiding it from her bosses?

No, actually! She has been diagnosed, she's been to therapy, she has a treatment plan and now she is living a successful life as a MI5 linguist. The divergence point here for Villanelle is that as a child she was found and adopted by Carolyn Martens, primarily as a cover to allow her to keep visiting Russia (giving little Oksana access to her heritage!).

The Anna thing still happens, and Carolyn lets her go to jail, but the sentence is diminished because with Carolyn's influence, Anna confesses to their affair on the stand and also probably publicly rejects that Villanelle meant anything to her/says that she was just one of many students (again, Carolyn's influence, gotta get your kid away from the woman she killed for somehow).

So now Oksana has a cool job, nice apartment, lots of money, fancy clothes, friends who adore her... and like Eve in our universe, something's missing. (Then again, murder =/= fulfillment, since alt!Eve who I still need to workshop feels like something's missing, too.) Carolyn won't let her work in the field, so when MI5 encounters a dangerous assassin who seems to have a fascination for her, she volunteers to use herself as bait.

Hmm, not sure! Maybe one of Oksana's girlfriends? She saw that Kenny was into her and decided to add her to the team and seduce her just for fun.

Interesting! That version of Oksana sounds really fascinating. Write it, anon!

ayrt's fabulous backstory aside, I don't think it's all that unbelievable for a psychopath to be working for MI6 in general. After all, the majority of psychopaths aren't hitmen, they're just fairly regular-seeming people who are assholes. If she never got recruited as an assassin, she wouldn't be one, and she might be more cautious with murdering people since she wouldn't get away with so easily. But maybe as an agent she'd do it sometimes...

lol, I'm imagining an assassin Eve who struggles with her conscience meeting one of the "good guys" Villanelle be a sadistic killer and just being like, huh.
