    Summary

    Never before an optimist, the feeling of hope used to be somewhat of a foreign concept for Beatrice. It had always been considered impolite to wish for more than she was given, for she had been taught that greed was a sin against God.

    Despite this, and against her initial resistance, hope had settled deep in her chest that day, on those steps, some time ago, and never left. It’d festered there — grown, stretched, and spread, like a rash. Hope rooted itself in every fiber of her being, gaining strength even as the time away from Ava lengthened; almost parasitic the way it burrowed so far down into her skin that it reached the innermost part of her. It stuck to her, like sweat, persistent in its very nature. She hoped for Ava every day — and she hated it.

    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.

    or

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

    Summary

    They meet at the table read.

    Beca didn’t know what Chloe Beale would be like in real life -- her years in the music industry have taught her to never take someone’s public persona at face value. No one is who they project themselves to be on social media and red carpets, least of all actors.

    But Chloe Beale, Beca quickly learns, is the exception to the rule.

    Summary

    Ginny sighed and slumped back in her seat. “You’re letting him win. He’s winning the breakup!”

    “Everything you’re saying is ridiculous! You can’t win a breakup.”

    “Obviously you can, and Ron is doing it!”

    “You’re being childish. Not everything is about winning and losing.”

    --

    Ron and Hermione have recently broken up, and Ginny — concerned for her best friend — has decided that the only thing for Hermione to do now is to date someone new to make Ron jealous. And who better than Hermione’s best friend (and coincidentally Ron’s younger sister) to drive him absolutely mental?
