Summary
Just like that, Barbara’s perfectly mapped measurement system had been thrown out the window. The delicate lines she’d drawn around her lifelong indiscretions began to blur. Her impulse—the one that was once so carefully controlled—had suddenly come back to life, like deadly pathogens living beneath melting ice.
What's worse: Melissa wasn't fooled for a second.

Summary
“You should know the answer to that by now, shouldn’t you?” Melissa lets the question sit there for a moment. There won't be an answer—probably not even an acknowledgement. Even so, the answer hangs in the air between them; a ghost of things left unsaid.

Summary
This is the woman that gets into fist fights every other weekend; the one that puts her cold toes on Barbara’s calves under the bed sheets, laughing when she curses into the darkness; the one that pays for the lunches of the kids who wouldn’t be able to eat otherwise. There are no private and public personas anymore. They are simply themselves.
A collection of five sentence (and sometimes more) fics originally published on tumblr dot com.

don't call me lover (it's not enough) by overtureenvelops
Fandoms: Killing Eve (TV 2018)
29 May 2020
Tags
Summary
Something about Eve opens her up, makes her insides buzz underneath her skin. Like her body longs to finally break open; a guttural, mind numbing scream existing only seconds from her lips.
Because when Eve looks at her, it’s clear she doesn’t see a monster or a machine. Eve recognizes Villanelle’s rare combination of grief, regret and relief and she reflects it with her own eyes, feeling it so strongly that her eyes begin welling with tears. And soon, Villanelle can’t help but surrender to the same emotions herself.
If Eve had made it onto the train, and what comes after.

Gail, Erica, and date night.
