"Whether you come as a lover or an executioner, I am ready to receive you." -The Carnivorous Lamb, Agustin Gomez-Arcos You are a former nurse living in Moscow and running from a troubled past. When an injured possible criminal stumbles into the bar you're working at, you immediately get sucked into her world and find yourself falling deeper and deeper for the woman who makes you feel something for the first time in your life. Partially inspired by Killing Eve. AU where Katya is a cis woman. This is an AU where Katya is a mercenary/assassin for those of us who saw Cate Blanchett as Hela in Thor, Jennifer Check from Jennifer's Body, or Villanelle from Killing Eve and thought "I could fix her." and it is not going to be a happy, God-fearing, positive experience but it'll be entertaining and smutty and deeply NSFW! Trigger warnings/tags: dom/sub dynamics, violence, graphic descriptions of injuries, mercenary Katya, side Bob and Monet, age gap relationships, eventual smut, toxic relationships, some themes of Catholic guilt and religious trauma, 18+ only. This will also have descriptions of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and general not-so-good mental health stuff, so if that is going to trigger or upset you in any way, this may not be for you. I'm flying by the seat of my pants with this one so I'll update more trigger warnings as needed at the beginning of each chapter. There is a lot of gorgeous art for this fic done by @chemicalburn_trixya and myself and posted with the corresponding chapters.
