    Summary

    Ava Silva learned from an early age that survival meant speed, while Beatrice Wong learned that love required discipline. Thrown onto opposite sides of Formula 1’s most unforgiving grid, they developed a rivalry that the world was eager to consume, with sharp interviews, racing that was closer than necessary and a tension that no one could quite name. But beneath the noise, a quieter story unfolds: childhood loss and obligation; years of restraint; and a devotion shaped by fear and loyalty rather than spectacle. As fame intensifies every interaction and silence becomes a form of violence in itself, Ava and Beatrice must decide whether love can survive in secret; or if choosing each other means finally being seen.

    Summary

    Beatrice had owned her flower shop for five years. She had spent most of her life around flowers, understanding their language better than the human kind.
    The shop was in a peaceful little town, close friends, a routine.
    No one in the neighborhood really knew her name, they all called her the Green Lady and it suited her perfectly.
    The peace and the quiet.
    But the quiet lasted until she found a stranger, the new bartender working across the street, lying in her store.
    Her store which had been entirely destroyed in one night.
    Though the stranger looked...Pretty.
    Like an Ava Agastache?

    Or the one where Beatrice is a florist and Ava tries to fix her mistake and maybe the florist’s heart too?

    Summary

    Ava Silva is a woman everyone admires from afar — a dazzling, untouchable star whose every move is captured by cameras, praised by fans, and scrutinized by the world. But beneath the flawless exterior lies a side of her no one ever sees: vulnerable, human, and craving genuine connection.

    Beatrice Hawthorne, a determined and insightful journalist, is eager to make her mark. When she lands the rare opportunity to interview Ava, she expects a performance, a polished story for the public. Instead, she finds a complex woman who is simultaneously guarded and magnetic, whose trust must be earned slowly.

    Their first encounter in private reveals a fragile intimacy, a shared curiosity, and a tension neither can ignore. Later, a chance meeting on the streets of Manhattan — with Beatrice’s golden retriever, Milo, acting as an unlikely icebreaker — exposes Ava’s humanity in public for the first time. A paparazzi captures the moment, sending ripples through the media and threatening the delicate balance between Ava’s world and the one she shares with Beatrice.

    As headlines and speculation swirl, both women must navigate fame, privacy, and the unexpected connection forming between them.

    Summary

    “Hello, Mrs. Silva. I’m Beatrice Young.” The woman reaches her hand out for a handshake. She has a posh accent, which Ava unfortunately finds very attractive. “At last we meet.”
    Oh. Ava blinks a couple of times. Beatrice Young, teacher of Year 3 A, had been e-mailing her for a few days, asking her for her lesson plans so they can synchronize their classes. From the e-mails, with their serious and professional tone, and her lesson plans, extremely meticulous and standardized, Ava could not have imagined that…
    Beatrice is very hot.
    “It’s Miss Silva.” Ava corrects, cringing a bit. This will be a correction she will have to make multiple times, she sees. “You can call me Ava, though.”

    OR: After a personal loss and a messy divorce, Ava Silva returns to teaching Year 3 at Sacred Heart of Mary Primary School, where she is excited to use her chaotic and revolutionary methods. Beatrice Young, her more traditional counterpart, only sees it as irresponsibility. When a (surprisingly fun) rivalry over class averages ignites between them, sparks fly (and not just the competitive type).

    Summary

    And then, because Ava’s mouth hates her, she spoke out loud when Mary asked if Beatrice was seeing someone.

    “Hopefully me.”

    The room stilled and Ava was sure a needle could be dropped and the sound would be deafening. She briefly thought about jumping out the window to save herself the embarrassment, but thought better of it when she realized she was still hooked up to the machine.

    “Excuse me?” Beatrice was the one who broke the silence. Her tone wasn't harsh or judgmental, simply baffled and slightly amused.

    This was probably a good time for her brain to think of an explanation or excuse, but all that came out of her mouth was “Uhm what?”

    Mary laughed from her place slightly behind Beatrice. “Oh babygirl, you're gonna have to do better than that.”

    Summary

    Beatrice has existed for three centuries, long enough to believe nothing could disrupt her unchanging life. But one day, when an unusual landslide occurs near her castle, she makes an unexpected choice—to save one of the victims, in her own way.

    Ava awakens from a deep sleep to find an unfamiliar object lodged in her heart, binding her to a fate she never sought. A human living in the world of vampires—the ancients call such a being the "Vampire's Bride." The vampires call her the "Ring Bearer."

    As death closes in once more, Ava and Beatrice are thrust into a relentless struggle to survive.

    Or to ensure the other does.

    Summary

    “Hey! You should get a tattoo.”

    “Oh, no no. I don’t think I’d like it very much.” Beatrice says, shaking her head.

    “The pain is nothing for most people, it’s just like an annoying prickly massage. I’m gentle, I promise.” Ava winks and laughs at Beatrice’s flush. The woman blushes a lot, and Ava doesn’t mind making it happen. Actually, it may be her new favorite thing.

    Or

    Beatrice is a florist with a past she’s tried desperately to run away from and Ava is (simp)ly a tattoo artist just trying to find someone to spend forever with. They meet when Ava's friends Shannon and Mary are in the midst of planning their wedding and need Ava to step in and help.

    Summary

    I don't know exactly how you feel about me, but I know how much you care. And I want you to know that you are loved. That even if you don't think you deserve it, love isn't about what you deserve, or something you have to earn. It's something given freely. And I want more than anything for you to give it to yourself. I want you to see the good in yourself that I can't help but see, because it's so obvious in everything you do. I want you to live your life for yourself. To do something that makes you happy. To surround yourself with people who love you. And I want you to keep doing what you love around those people until you love yourself as much as I do.

     

    Yours, forever and in every life,

     

    Ava

     

    ----

    Beatrice follows Ava's last wishes to live her life. After three years, she finally opens herself to the possibility of love again. Two years later, Ava returns and they renew their friendship and navigate living their lives, and the process of finding and accepting love, until they find their way back to each other.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.
