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
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
A S2 that picks up pretty much where S1 ended and takes our favourite nuns around Europe kicking demon ass, trying to save the world and falling hard - in more ways than one.
After escaping the attack in Rome, Ava is plagued by nightmares. Can Beatrice and the others prevent them from becoming reality? And will Ava and Beatrice ever acknowledge what is really going on between them?
Note: violence, strong language, adult content with some angst, fluff and plenty of other stuff. And Mary!- Language:

Summary
This book is based loosely on a song with the same name by Gatlin. Season two wrecked me so I did the math to figure out the time difference between Reya’s realm and Earth and I haven’t done math like that since high school, someone please acknowledge my hard work. I only cried once.
~*~
Letting Ava go was the hardest thing she’d ever done, and she hated herself every day for not telling her she loved her sooner. Moving back in to their shared apartment was a close second. Ava was everywhere here, she was behind every corner just a breath away. Her dirty clothes were still in the hamper waiting to be washed and her toothbrush was in the cup next to the sink, the apartment showed no sign that Ava wasn’t living there and Beatrice could almost convince herself she was just out for the night. Almost.
//
Reya had explained how time passed differently here, how days here were just hours back home. Ava thought it was supposed to bring her some comfort, but it didn’t bring any comfort, if anything, it almost made it worse to know that she had spent months here and it had only been days for Beatrice. What if she was gone for years and when she returned it had only been a few months?
