Summary
Written only a month after the release of Baldur's Gate 3, this short piece was a rewrite of the comfort scene that takes place after the climax of Shadowheart's questline. At the time, you could not comfort her with a hug, and Tav would simply stare while she cried. This is a brief rework of that dialogue written from the point of view of my Tav, Flynn, and how I believe their conversation would have went in my own little headcanon.

Summary
Yes, Ava likes girls (and boys). Yes, she has no trouble acknowledging when a girl is pretty, or hot, or both. Yes, horny is one of her few default mindsets. But to be fair, she’s twenty-two and very new at this. Girls, boys, romance, sex. Life. So what if she chose her personal trainer because she let out a loud “hot damn!” when she saw her picture online, along with all the martial arts she has mastered? What if she let instinct choose rather than reason? Who hasn’t? So, yeah. Let her have this, okay? Plus, she’s just looking. Discreetly. She thinks. And Beatrice does seem like she’s a great trainer, considering all the reviews Ava read about her.

Summary
From the road, Ava could only make out their broadest features: a woman in a white tank top, her muscled shoulders tanned from the sun, an axe dangling casually in one hand. She had already placed a log in front of her, and as Ava watched she lifted the axe above her head and swung it downwards in a single fluid motion, the taut muscles of her arms working so perfectly with the axe they might have all been one. The log split easily into two, as though she were cutting through paper, and the woman picked up the two halves to place them into a neat stack nearby.
“Ah,” Schaefer said, catching the line of her gaze, “That’s Beatrice. Your new neighbor. Don’t mind her too much, she’s a little… eccentric.”
Ava liked eccentric. She also liked women who looked like they could tear her in half without too much effort. She had a feeling she was going to like Beatrice a lot.

Summary
Beatrice is not in the habit of falling in love with beautiful women in coffee shops, but if the last few years have taught her anything, it’s that things can always take a turn for the worse.

Summary
Sundays are for the girls.
Ava hears that once, passing some brunch place on her way home with a fresh loaf of bread in hand, sure steps heading back to their apartment where she’s hoping to convince Bea they don’t have to keep putting off Ava’s dream of a homemade bread bowl.
Okay, maybe what she hears is Saturdays are for the boys and maybe it’s from a bunch of guys with biceps the size of their heads. But she likes it enough to remember it as she strolls the rest of the way home so she can tell Beatrice.

Summary
“So… you’re not mad?” The alcohol was already settling, warm in her stomach, and the words were out before she could stop them.
“Mad?” Ava asked. “Why would I be mad?”
“I’m…not entirely sure.” Beatrice had run through this conversation a thousand times in her head. Sometimes, the scenario ended with Ava telling her they couldn’t be friends anymore. Sometimes, it ended in a way that would make Beatrice blush to think about. Either way, she never pictured it being this casual.
“It’s cool.”
“It’s – it’s ‘cool?’”
Ava shrugged. “Yeah. I mean, I used to have a ridiculous crush on you too, so I guess we’re even, right?”

Camila accidentally spills the beans to Ava about Beatrice’s feelings. They deal with it like idiots. College AU.

"Oh my god." Ava gasped. She doubled over to rest her hands on her knees. "Oh my god I think I'm dying."
"Why are you all muddy?" Beatrice asked.
"Tried to use halo for speed. Mistakes were made." Ava closed her eyes. "Holy shit. Training looks easier in the movies. Stupid montage scenes. Fucking Rocky and his song."
"Ava-"
"Sorry. Everything hurts right now." She straightened up with a groan. "Hi."

“Fuck!” Mommy shouts, it's a bad word. Aly wants to say something, but her Mommy's eyes wide and she’s crying. “Fuck…fuck…”
Aly feels her chest start to hurt, her stomach all twisty. She’s never seen her mommy like this. “What’s wrong?” Aly asks, reaching out to touch her mommy’s hand.
When she does, Mommy lets out a very loud sob. “Ducky…” she whispers. “Do you…” Mommy makes another weird face, like she’s hurting. “Do you remember when I talked to you about emergencies?”

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.

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.)

Summary
Ava rolls over, shutting her brain off, and very carefully presses the palm of her hand on Beatrice’s waist.
Beatrice tenses immediately, a sharp intake of breath filling the otherwise quiet bedroom.
A few seconds pass with nothing and Ava starts to pull away, an apology on her lips, when Beatrice grabs her wrist. It’s so fast that Ava hardly registers what happened, but suddenly, she’s being pulled to the other side of the bed.
Ava lets it happen, helps, and now she’s hovering over Beatrice. She’s so close she can see the shine in her eyes, how wide they are and she can see them flicker to her lips and back up.
Bea’s made this move, it’s her turn now. Ava leans forward, giving Beatrice a chance to turn her away.
When she doesn’t, it’s game over. Their lips meet and every functioning part of Ava’s brain that might tell her there will be consequences to this completely disappear.
The world could set fire tonight and Ava would keep kissing her as the apartment collapsed around them.

Ava and Bea hook up in Switzerland and everything is a mess because of it.
