    Summary

    Ava does do the YouTube thing, actually, thank you very much. Mostly to her own surprise. Beatrice always has faith in her, but Ava knows that, historically speaking, her interest in something can crank up to eleven and then entirely dissipate without warning.

    But she gets a little stand to hold her phone up, and brings over the lamp from Beatrice’s desk to add a bit of extra light to the kitchen, and films herself trying to make croissants.

    Perhaps she should’ve started with something easier. Like, a lot easier. But by the time she’s realised that the pastry is an absolute disaster, she’s already made a bunch of good jokes to the camera, and so she decides this is what Beatrice would call a sunk cost fallacy and commits to it.

    -

    Ava starts a dumb YouTube channel where she makes complicated recipes badly. Maybe people show up for that, but they kind of stick around for her conversations with her roommate - who stays off-screen. Mostly.

    Summary

    Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

    Summary

    “I’ve got to lock up.” Beatrice slings her bag over her shoulder. “You should go back to your friends. Rehearse.”

    It’s not a request. Not even a suggestion. A clear order. Very, very promising.

    ”You sure there’s no date?” Ava lets her gaze drag over Beatrice’s form, slightly more slowly than could be considered professional. “Bossy tone like that. Quickest way to get a girl on her knees.”

    Beatrice becomes the manager of Ava’s band. Ava conducts herself very calmly and respectfully.

    Summary

    “My mother always told me never to play with my food…” James says with a sigh as he crouches down. His knees brush the ground next to Bella’s head, and she has to work hard to suppress a shudder. “Of course,” he continues, his voice low and laced with a cruel kind of humor that only he can understand, “I killed my mother. So… I suppose her lessons are… null and void.”

    **

    When Bella gets attacked by James, Edward isn’t there to save her. The wounds Bella sustains are too severe, and there’s no way she’ll make it all the way to the hospital alive. Alice has no choice. In order to save Bella, she has to turn her.

    But things get messy when everyone starts to notice the strange connection Alice and Bella develop. Because nothing can break the bond between a vampire and their sire.

    They’re all about to find that out the hard way.
