Summary
Ava’s not the most skilled chef in the world and her baking skills are even less developed - but she’s learning and has expanded her ‘trusted dishes’ list to well over fifteen.
Even if Lilith tells her that five of them are only edible with egregious amounts of sauce and or salt.
Still, she’s getting better and today is a big test. Hell, today might be the most important test of her kitchen skills she’s ever had.
The last thing Ava wants to do is fuck up her daughters first birthday cake.

Summary
Ava Silva, just hearing her full name jogs a memory - a fuzzy one - of a time when she heard that name. She doesn’t remember where it was. An article or a movie or…something but she knows she’s heard that name before.
Ava Silva is a celebrity. She’s an actress.
She’s been flirting with an incredibly famous actress.

Summary
Life is difficult. Overwhelming at times. But Ava gets tricked into attending the Roller Derby. It doesn't take much for her interest to be piqued. And a series of events to lead her to at least giving it a try. What she could never expect is what she can bring to the Roller Derby. And better yet, what the Roller Derby can bring to her.

Summary
This time it takes a lot longer to get a response back, but Ava can wait him out. “Speak, child.”
Ava grins from ear to ear, then forces herself to reign it in. “Yes I uh…I have to confess an act of gluttony.” She drops her head, really pushing the shame into her tone. “Two days ago I took a visit to the city with Sister Lilith and a small boy offered me a candy bar, a Twix. Are you familiar?”
“Yes, sister, I am.” He sounds so annoyed, Ava has to bite the inside of her cheek not to giggle.
“Right of course, you are a man of many travels and, most likely, many many candy bars.”

Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

Summary
Her life was in complete fucking shambles and she’d be going from working at the homeless shelter in the morning to working at the bar at night for the foreseeable future, but she could make this -
“Sister Beatrice will be the one monitoring your attendance and effort, informing us of your compliance with the required fulfillment of your service.”
Oh good, more fucking nuns. She made some very inappropriate gestures the last time she saw a nun. Granted, Frances probably didn’t know what they meant, but it sure made her feel better.
Ava can see it now, Sister Beatrice is probably some old hag who sucks on lemon candy and smells like feet. She’s going to hate Ava the moment she sees her.
This is going to suck.

Summary
“I made a list!” Ava trills.
“A list.”
“Yeah!” Oh no. Ava’s grin is wicked. “Of all the things that turn me on when I’m with a boy.”
Jesus Christ. Good thing Beatrice lowered that bottle.
“Care to explain?” she groans.
“I call it the to do list. I figured if I do all of this stuff with a girl and I get turned on, it means I’m also into girls.”- Language:

Summary
They had to leave for the airport in a few hours, J.C would be heading over to them shortly to pick up Strike.
And Beatrice was only half packed.
This was a level of chaos that Ava would only ever expect from herself.
Was she a bad influence? Quite possibly.
Was she enjoying every moment of this? Absolutely.

Summary
Miss Silva sighs, dramatic and put-upon. “Alright. I suppose I wouldn’t want you to lose your stripes for the grievous crime of using my name. But if you can’t call me Ava, can you do something else for me?”
Beatrice nods, even though it’s dangerous, even though Miss Silva could ask her for anything.
Perhaps she nods because Miss Silva could ask her for anything.
“Can you think of me as Ava, just in your head?” Miss Silva requests. “Even if you never say it.”
Beatrice considers this. A truly honourable person wouldn’t agree; decorum should govern the thought as well as the action. But Beatrice is already expected to tell Miss Silva no so often that it gets harder every time, and surely this is a small enough concession that no real harm can come of it.
-
Or, Ava throws everything she has at chipping away Beatrice's propriety, and it only takes several years, a pirate ship, and being absolutely shameless for her to succeed.

Summary
“Some people think a soulmate is the person God creates for you. Others say it’s the soul yours has been drawn to time and time again, throughout multiple lives. Some even believe that each pair was formed during the creation of the universe itself.” Beatrice looks up at the sky, as though she might find an answer somewhere in the long dead stars hanging above them. “I’ve always liked that one, actually; that the particles ripped into being alongside each other formed a connection that would last as long as our universe did. I’m not sure it makes much sense in practice. But it sounds lovely.”
“Less cruel, at least,” Ava murmurs, and Beatrice turns at the sadness in her voice, drawing in a sharp breath when she sees the emotion so amplified in Ava’s eyes. “Because a god who created the whole soulmates thing in the first place, told you that you don’t get one, and then made you spend your entire life telling other people about theirs kind of sounds like a huge asshole, if you think about it.”
Which is, of course, why Beatrice so often tries not to think about it. Especially when Ava is looking at her the way she is now and she’s reminded of all the things she’ll never have (all the things she desperately wants).

Summary
Fresh out of a short lived relationship, stuck in a job that she hates and with parents that somehow manage to be overbearing and distant, Beatrice is having a rough time of things.
The fact that it's almost Christmas certainly doesn't help matters.
But a chance encounter with an old friend leads to an invitation to spend the holiday in a sleepy little town that she had never even heard of.
She certainly wasn't looking for the true meaning of Christmas or anything like that.
But maybe, just maybe, Beatrice might find everything she had never thought she could have.

Summary
When Suzanne tasked Beatrice with making the guest house handicap accessible for the new bookkeeper coming to Cat's Cradle Ranch in a few weeks, she was expecting someone much older - someone who wouldn't get in her way. Someone she could maybe share a few good books with.
What she didn't expect was for the beautiful and vibrant Ava Silva to roll out of the van that day and completely change her life.

Summary
"What you are is beautiful."
It was the first time Beatrice had heard such words spoken to her.
And for so many years, she thought it would be the last.
But time was a strange thing. And as Beatrice would eventually come to learn, moved slowly when one had the potential to live until time itself crumbled.
And as she moved with time, she clung to those words. Her name was Melanie, Beatrice learned later, and she clung to her for as long as she could.
Beatrice had resigned herself to never hearing them again, not from another's lips, and certainly not in her dreams.
Vampires, Beatrice realised quickly, didn't dream.
She never could have known that one day, more than five hundred years later, she would hear those words again.
Or how those five simple words from one specific girl would change her entire world.
