Summary
“You’re too pretty to be a nun,” she—the patient, the charming patient, Ava Silva, 19, no family, paralyzed from the neck down—tells Beatrice when she walks into the room.
Beatrice doesn't know what to say to that. She doesn’t spend much time looking at herself except to smooth out her hair, to make sure there are no stray pieces of lint on her shirt. She definitely hasn’t thought about the word pretty in relation to herself.
“I’m not,” she tells Ava directly.
“Not pretty or not a nun?"

Summary
Beatrice is contemplative. Silent. She studies Ava’s face like she’s memorizing flashcards.
Ava knows she’s inclined towards wishful thinking, so she doesn’t entertain the idea that Beatrice came in just to do this. Just to catch a glimpse.
Ava swallows. “Did you want another recommendation?”
-
Or,
It's 1986. Ava works at a video rental store, Beatrice is a regular, and Ava has a desperate crush.

Summary
“Don’t forget the fortune cookies,” she says unnecessarily.
Bea is already carrying them over, having freed them from their plastic prisons. She hides them in her hand and moves her hands behind her back. Ava sees the muscles of her biceps flex as she moves them from hand to hand, mixing them up.
Ava pokes her tongue out of her mouth and squints. After a second, she points to the right hand. Bea hands her the fortune cookie she’s holding and sits back down, cradling her own fortune cookie.
Ava doesn’t wait for any kind of ceremony. She breaks her fortune cookie in half and pulls the fortune out, putting it facedown. She eats one half of the cookie first, for luck. Her mom always did it and Ava doesn’t remember a lot, but she remembers that most of mom’s fortunes came true, so it must have worked.

Summary
“You could always kiss it better.”
Beatrice laughs, but it comes out strangled. She drops her gaze, keeping her eyes firmly on her hand. “I believe that’s the Halo’s job.”
“The Halo doesn’t have lips,” she says, matter-of-factly. “You have lips.”
"Yes." Beatrice hopes she’s too drunk to notice her blazing cheeks. “Thank you for that observation.”
(or, five times the Halo heals Ava and one time it heals Beatrice)

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
"Hey!" says Luz from the kitchen doorway.
"Hi," says Amity absently, turning to drop her bag before she stops in her tracks.
She whirls around.
Oh my God.
It's Luz. Terrible, messy, and apparently very cute Luz.

Or, Amity has never met her roommate (until she does).

Summary
“Well, what you need is somebody who’s extremely lovable.”
Beatrice scoffs. “Yeah? And who’s going to agree–”
“You know who.” Camila raises both of her eyebrows in smug anticipation.
“No,” Beatrice says firmly. “No. I am not asking Ava to fake-date me.”
OR:
Beatrice panics and tells her mother that she has a girlfriend when she does not. The solution?
Ava pretends to be her girlfriend for a week.

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

Summary
Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.
What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?
"Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"
He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"
"Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.
—
After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.

Summary
“Your car.” Powder said, a thoughtful pout to her face. Her eyebrows raised slightly. “If you make my sister dateable, I’ll help you finish that car.”
Caitlyn stared back at her, ears burning, at the absolutely absurd request. No one, no one on this green earth, could make the infamous disaster that was Powder’s sister dateable. It was absolutely ridiculous to think anyone would want to date the girl who insisted her birth name was Violence no matter how anyone prettied her up. It was a doomed project and she should say as much.
“You got a deal,” she said instead.

Summary
In the past, Korra’s never really cared what people thought of her. She always did what she wanted, said what she wanted, wore what she wanted, and dated whomever she wanted. It’s one of the reasons Asami fell in love with her, to be honest. She figures that’s why she’s so surprised when Korra begs her to pretend to be her girlfriend in an effort to impress her parents. Of course, she fought it and said no at first, but come on, this is Korra. Her stubborn, hard-headed “will never, ever take no for an answer” Korra…she knew she was doomed from the moment she first looked into those annoyingly clear blue eyes. But whatever, this was her best friend and if she’s happy, Asami’s happy. She’s been in love with Korra for nearly a decade now anyways. One summer of being a fake couple isn’t gonna change anything…right?
OR Fake dating AU where Asami is head over heels in love with Korra and agrees to pretend to be her gf to pacify Korra’s family like the people pleasing, masochistic sweetheart that she is :p

Summary
Between balancing her studies, social life, and family, attending university was already hard enough for Korra. Adding a whirlwind and fiery romance with a rich omega was the last thing on her mind, but when she meets Asami Sato in the library one night, her whole life changes.
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

“Okay, last rule.” Korra shoves the notebook in between them, intent on distracting Asami from her nightmare of an Instagram account. “Five seems like a good place to end. Any ideas?”
“I got one.” Asami leans forward in her seat slightly. “Promise not to fall in love with me by the end of this.”
