Summary
A symphony AU in which Ava is a non classically trained prodigy of music and has only entered the classical music scene a few years prior. Beatrice has been training to play violin since she was three and now holds first chair at the OCS Symphony in Spain.
Jillian and Michael Salvius, along with Suzanne are board members of the OCS. After their resident conductor announced her retirement. The board needed to name a new conductor. Although not the most traditional or experienced choice, after the Salvius’ convincing pitch, the board voted (a close race) to bring on Ava Silva in hopes she can usher in a new age for the OCS, as their tickets sales had been declining steadily for years now.
How will the symphony adjust to Ava taking the new role? How will the board? How will the public who attends?
Along the way, a certain first chair violin player who is always serious, may learn to enjoy the feeling of the music more than the technique.
And perhaps a certain wild child might finally feel like she has found herself a place she wants to stick around in.
Cheesy pining, music, and sexy times ensue.

Summary
Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.
Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?
(Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)

The Recipe for Making Love by DangersUntoldHardshipsUnnumbered

Summary
Chef AU in which Mary is an American chef in a French cooking competition. Ava is her sous chef. Lilith is also competing, with Beatrice as her sous, and sparks fly between the two teams.
The title comes from this charming Harry Connick Jr. song of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uij5s69iEjs
A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making loveIt doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making loveAnd if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for moreI didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making loveSeries

Summary
wilson fisk had flown under the radar for so many years, it’s hard not to be paranoid regardless. she’s a target now for her association with clint barton, and as much as she’d never in a million years take it back, she can’t help but be nervous about it.
still, she’s been okay so far, two months without any incidents, as bored as she is, that’s pretty good, right?
she should’ve known she’d jinx it eventually.
she makes her way home, waving with a wince and a grimaced smile at herman, the owner of the pizza shop beneath her apartment and climbing the steps two at a time before she opens the door and is immediately greeted by lucky, who bounds over to her and barks with his tail wagging and his tongue lolling out like he’s happy about something, and kate’s about to question him when-
“how come every time i visit, you take forever to get here, kate bishop?”
--
aka yelena belova comes crashing back into kate bishop's life after a two month absence, and kate's not about to let her disappear again.
--
aka the new generation of hawkeye and black widow make it their mission to save the other mind controlled widows. and maybe they fall in love a little in the process.

Luz sighed as she sat down beside him, leaning forward with her hands on her knees as she tried to take a deep breath as another bout of nerves suddenly flowed through her, leaving behind a lingering feeling of nausea.
“It feels like somebody swapped the soy in my coffee for dairy,” she lamented to Gus as he leaned over and comfortingly patted her on the back. “What if this is a mistake?” she asked Gus as she slowly sat back up. “What if Amity doesn’t even like me in person?”
Or
Luz and Amity are in a long-distance relationship and meet in person for the very first time.
