It's been a very long time since I've last seen this episode; now I want to watch it with this story in the back of my mind.

I haven't watched 'Eve' for years either, but I think I watched S1 so many times and so obsessively that I'm never going to forget any of those classic episodes.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the fic! :-)

I also like that not everything is spelled out - the unsaid things that are not too obscure enough for the seasoned fan to get but cryptic enough to require a certain knowledge of the show are one of the best thing about fanfic.
That is an absolutely lovely point you make about fanfic. I really liked the subtle elements of horror in this fic too, and I couldn't agree more with what you say about the complicity between writer and reader in fanfiction.
I've been going through the same sense of disappointment with fanworks lately, and I'm not sure if it's the works themselves, or just me. But it's still great to find writers that I haven't read before, and I'm still quite fond of works like this one which tie in so well with canon that they almost make me feel like I'm watching a new episode of the show. :-)

That's one of the reasons I really liked this one. :-) I like all the thoughts you have about it. This is the kind of fanfic I like a lot, which leaves room for speculation and makes you want more.
I'm usually more of a sci-fi/fantasy reader because explicit horror doesn't do a lot for me, but that story you mention sounds intriguing! I'll check it out. :-)
