Summary
“You know - “ she sing-songs, “Ava has a crush on you.”
Beatrice feels her cheeks heat up and turns the key in the ignition as an excuse to duck her head. “Adults don’t have crushes.”
“Weird, ‘cause Ava’s an adult and she has a crush on you."

Summary
“Well, Ava,” Beatrice clicked her pen, “what do you have for us today?”
“Incredible story, actually,” she said and made her way to the lectern as if she had done it a million times. “I did have a great presentation ready—mind blowing, really—but I left my flash drive at my hotel, so I’m just going to wing it.”
“You’re going to…wing it?” It was the first time all day Lilith had spoken to a lecturer. “You are one of five, out of hundreds of applicants, to vie for this incredibly coveted position, and you’re going to wing it?”
“Yep!” She said with a happy clap and pressed the button to raise the projector screen. “I’m good at doing things on the fly. You could say I’m-“ she looked over her shoulder at the class, “in my element.”

Summary
Unbound for a second, Beatrice lifts her hand back up. There’s no dirt, no excuse, but she palms Ava’s face again, just to feel it, just for that special close lipped smile that graces Ava’s face again, just for her to sigh.
She removes it quickly—not quickly enough, too quickly—catching Ava’s eyes when they open again.
“Now,” Beatrice says, voice soft and serious. “Let’s try again.”
Ava nods, the halo glows, her feet leave the ground, and she doubles her time.
—
Beatrice realizes that her touch helps Ava with her training, and, well, things escalate.

Summary
To Ava, nothing had ever been so confusing, so gorgeous, so heartbreaking as the discovery of her own body. And then there was her discovery of Beatrice’s.
Or,
Ava accidentally sees Beatrice naked. It makes the whole "sharing a one bedroom apartment in Switzerland" thing a little more complicated than it was before. A comedy of errors in three acts.

Summary
“A virgin of faith…” She whispered, mostly to herself.
“What do you believe in, Beatrice?”
Beatrice turned her neck slowly. She felt the color drain from her face as the implication of this conversation dawned on her. But the notion was too huge, too gigantic, far too big for Beatrice to acknowledge right then. So, she answered as truthfully as she could, her words coming out in an uncharacteristic stutter, but sounding like music to her ears.
“I believe in Ava.”
//
Or, Beatrice undertakes a new mission to get Ava back.

Summary
Before she can stop herself, Ava reaches out as if to grab Beatrice’s elbow. She catches herself before she makes contact, knowing that while she’s in this stranger’s body Beatrice would probably have her flat on her back in two seconds, and not in a good way. But even as her hand retracts itself, words tumble from her lips.
“Bea, I—”
Beatrice spins around. “How do you know my name?”
Eyes wide, Ava stammers, “I—I don’t.” They stare at each other. Then, “Be safe. I was going to say, ‘be safe.’”
Or,
5 times Ava returns to Beatrice in this life, and 1 time they return to each other in the next.

Summary
Camila is injured in battle and an overprotective Beatrice is quick to blame Ava for her recklessness. Ava withdraws into herself, distancing herself from the group and throwing herself into her duties as Warrior Nun. When she actively begins taking missions with other teams, Beatrice knows something needs to change.
But why won't Ava speak to her long enough to accept an apology, and why is it so hard for her to recall the actual conversation that started it all?

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

Summary
Beatrice is contemplative. Silent. She studies Ava’s face like she’s memorizing flashcards.
Ava knows she’s inclined towards wishful thinking, so she doesn’t entertain the idea that Beatrice came in just to do this. Just to catch a glimpse.
Ava swallows. “Did you want another recommendation?”

Or,
It's 1986. Ava works at a video rental store, Beatrice is a regular, and Ava has a desperate crush.

Summary
“She is just so… frustrating,” Beatrice had uttered, exasperation in her voice. “Maybe I am jealous that she is so friendly and just always on, you know and I-”
“You do know it’s not jealousy, right?” Mary had interrupted her, blocking Beatrice’s swift hits.
“What do you mean?”
“You like her, Beatrice,” Mary enunciated.
or the office AU where Ava and Beatrice collaborate on an exhibition, and there's an ongoing bet on how long it'll take for them to get together.

Summary
Six Vignettes spanning their time in Switzerland, exploring blooming feelings and how they both feel about it. Partially canon compliant, will diverge around chapter 4. Follows the trajectory of other works in this series, but starts before them and will likely fill in some gaps. *Note the rating change from chapter 5!

Summary
She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.
You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.
You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.

Summary
Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.
Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.
(Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

Summary
Beatrice is certain. She is going to live the life she wants. The life she was always meant to have. If she could just get that stubborn bisexual mess she's in love with to come home to her...
In the well-crafted display case, the cruciform sword is glowing the heavenly blue it has done so many times before. Ava Silva, with the grace of a new-born goat, crashes into the case from above - the sound alerting the nearby Sister Camila, who has a few choice words for the Warrior Nun to hear.
Or,
Basically an imagining of season 3 with everything I wanted to see happen. (open to suggestions)
