Summary
Beatrice has been very good with keeping her distance and maintaining boundaries and it's fine. Honestly, it's fine.
Until Ava books a weekend getaway. In the middle of the woods. During a blizzard.- Language:

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
(She thinks of her, and she thinks of her: Oh, let me be your undoing, and they don’t always get a chance to try.
But then it’s perhaps especially that there’s no time; perhaps there’s some sick passion in the idea of never enough. Perhaps that’s why they’re always brought together eventually. Doomed to see, to touch, to care; destined never to stay. Destined never to just exist.
Very rarely do they get the lives they deserve.)

Summary
They had already seen the Halo’s power. Its gifts and its limits. But it’s only when Ava’s guttural scream echoes around the open area they find themselves fighting wraith demons in —when they feel, rather than hear, how it tears itself from her throat, some sound almost primal to its core— that they stand to witness the true power of the Halo.
or, Ava should have glowing golden eyes when unlocking 100% of the halo.

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
The woman stops her pacing, setting her pale and unevenly-coloured eyes on Kara, and in that moment Kara understands - for the very first time - how Helen of Troy’s face could have been beautiful enough to start a war.
“Enough. I’m tired of being passed from one person to the next. Tell me,” the woman says fiercely after Kara has been quiet for too long. “Who are you?”
“I’m, um,” Kara says, wiggling her feet until they’re buried in the sand up to the ankle. “I’m Kara.”
The woman stares at Kara, incredulous and silent. It stretches out between them, those lingering questions and Kara’s unwillingness to answer them, until finally her shoulders sink and she deflates with a small, disbelieving laugh.
“Right. Well, I’m Lena,” she says, finally seeming to realize her dress is torn and pulling it tighter, "and if you don’t mean me harm, then I suppose you just saved me.”
OR
Kara’s pod crash happens in 6th century Greece, and she grows up eager to be like the heroes whose myths comforted her in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. But when she accidentally reveals her powers and the world views her as a demigod, Kara begins to understand just how dangerous that can be.

Summary
Kara has seen Lena in casual clothes. She’s seen her in crewneck sweaters, in jeans, and even with minimal makeup and messy hair. But she’s never seen her in yoga pants. She’s never had to try to keep her cool while Lena walks towards her in skin-tight black spandex and a loose off-the-shoulder t-shirt, her hair in a messy ponytail and not a stitch of makeup on her face. She looks clean and natural and absolutely, devastatingly beautiful.
Oh, this was a bad idea.
OR
Kara doesn’t technically need to work out. But, spending time with Lena at the gym isn’t all bad. Even if seeing her best friend in spandex workout clothes makes her break a new piece of equipment every week.

Summary
“I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”
For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.
“Good.”
“You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”
“Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”
Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”
“Shame.”
“You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”
“If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”
“No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”

Or, the one with phone sex and feelings and the complexity of forgiveness.

Summary
Lena had been prepared for certain things.
“It gets dark out there, darling,” Jack had told her in that grand, romantic way he had, voice soft like he was sharing a secret. “You’ll see more stars than you thought visible to the naked eye. And quiet? It has new meaning out there. It’s an empty sort of stillness, and it’ll smother you like a blanket.”
Jack was full of shit.
--
Lena enjoys a moment in the dark, even if she's not as alone as she thought.

Summary
“I hope you know this could probably count as breaking and entering,” Lena murmurs.
Kara makes a light noise, shrugging her shoulders. “Doesn’t count if you keep the balcony open always for me,” she says.
“For you? How presumptuous.”
or Lena just really, really wants to touch those biceps.
OR Kara keeps sleeping in Lena’s bed, much to Lena’s horror.
