Jan. 11th, 2007 01:13 pmOver on vendetta_fic, I posted a comment in response to a question about Evey's torture by V.
The question was, "Evey seems to forgive him quickly, doesn't she? Don't get me wrong, I love V/Evey, it's OTP for me, but I simply don't she how she could come to loving him as quickly and openly as she does after that. Even with complete understanding of why he did it, that he loves her, and would never hurt her that way again... But would he? If he saw it necessary? It's the question that keeps coming up for me Or maybe unexpectedly in the midst of sleep, or even in intimate activities coming before sleep, the just wrong tone at the just wrong moment, and the memories come crashing back to her, how would he comfort her? What could he possibly say?"
Aside from making my mouth water to write V/Evey fic (so I am a twisted bint, so what?), I had to respond. I couldn't not respond.
I started out by saying:
1) V and Evey have reciprocity right from the start. He saved her from the Fingermen. She maced the detective. He saved her again after she was knocked out. He cares for Evey. And she begins to care about V before her abduction/torture by V. When V watches "Count of Monte Cristo" and acts out the swordplay, she runs in when she hears it, because she's afraid he's fighting "for real."
2) V and Evey are both trauma survivors, kindred spirits. But they're like two sides of the same coin. V's way is not Evey's way. She lives in fear. He lives for revenge. Coming together makes each of them more whole. The film visually parallels V and Evey, most noticeably in the scenes of burned V in front of the blazing Larkhill intercut with Evey on the roof in the rain; both of them raise their arms.
