Summary
If Vi wasn’t going to study, Caitlyn would outpace her by sheer preparation. She’d take extra notes, attend every optional lecture, even dig into obscure research papers that their professor had only hinted at during office hours. Vi might breeze through on charm and natural talent, but Caitlyn had the power of discipline on her side.
The only problem? Discipline didn’t account for Vi.
They're the best students from their major, and Caitlyn is going insane because Vi never studies and still ends up getting better grades than her, who is running on coffee and sleepless nights 24/7. And they were roommates.

Summary
“Those clothes make you look handsome. If anything, he should have been ready to get down on his knees.”
Beatrice sucks in a breath and for a moment it feels like time catches between her teeth. The air smells like cigarettes.
“Oh.” Ava lets out a sound of realisation, stepping closer. “You like being called handsome.”
OR:
Beatrice and genderfluidness.

Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”

“No one forced you into this marriage, Raya.” Namaari’s voice was back to its usual low grate, her whole body tense as she glared at her partner icily. “I didn’t ask for you.”

Summary
There’s a huff, her breath blowing the few strands of loose hair that had escaped Beatrice’s loose bun. “Fine, I’ll get ready for bed now then.”
Beatrice thought they would both get up at that point, but the gentle feeling of Ava’s fingertips against her cheek made her breath hitch. She felt her tuck her hair behind her ear, the pads of her fingers skimming her jaw, suddenly making her feel very lightheaded.
Ava pressed a light kiss to her cheek, before darting back, “Won’t be long!”
Or...
Ava likes to touch and well, Beatrice learns to deal with it.

Summary
She tells the darkness that she wants to build a life with Ava, says Ava’s name so softly and reverently that her hope begins to make light, sparking a flame. She imagines every grand detail, and every small one, too: going back to their place in the Alps, holding Ava’s hand in the broad openness of their town, drinking with her on Friday nights, kissing her hello and goodbye and for no reason at all.
She wants to carry Ava home after a long night. She wants Ava in her clothes, Ava in nothing at all, to never feel shame again. She doesn’t think she could; she could never be ashamed of loving Ava.
Come back, she thinks as the sun starts to rise, as she feels enough peace to close her eyes. Come back. There is so much I can’t wait to do with you.
And maybe it’s all the years she spent between pews, or all the times she’s fallen to her knees, or maybe it is just simple truth, however idealistic, but Beatrice really can’t help but think that Ava hears her.
(or, when Ava goes, Beatrice's family steps up for her as she learns to stand again. Beatrice growing after Ava is gone and after Ava returns to be with her – how they learn to live together, to be alive, and everything that it means.)

Summary
From the road, Ava could only make out their broadest features: a woman in a white tank top, her muscled shoulders tanned from the sun, an axe dangling casually in one hand. She had already placed a log in front of her, and as Ava watched she lifted the axe above her head and swung it downwards in a single fluid motion, the taut muscles of her arms working so perfectly with the axe they might have all been one. The log split easily into two, as though she were cutting through paper, and the woman picked up the two halves to place them into a neat stack nearby.
“Ah,” Schaefer said, catching the line of her gaze, “That’s Beatrice. Your new neighbor. Don’t mind her too much, she’s a little… eccentric.”
Ava liked eccentric. She also liked women who looked like they could tear her in half without too much effort. She had a feeling she was going to like Beatrice a lot.

Summary
Ava is only clad in a small tight red swimsuit she'd decided to buy on a whim earlier with her first paycheck from the bar. She'd seen it in the small corner shop they have to walk by everyday to work and had held it up with such excitement Beatrice couldn't deny her. Will never be able to. Not when Ava looks at her with those eyes, those eyes that can see every part of her.
Well, she wants to slap herself over the head now that she hadn't, now that she knows what it's like to have Ava's hips in her hands and her body pressed up entirely against her own with the thinnest layer of material possible between them.
OR
Ava has a list. Beatrice won't stop until everything's ticked off.

Summary
Sometimes you just need some late-night yearning. What better time to do it than in moonlight, where vulnerabilities and words usually left unspoken come out?
Ava and Beatrice have some nighttime encounters. Everything is softer then, when they're half-hidden in shadow, no longer scrutinized by the sun blazing down on high. Stares and touches can linger. Words gain deeper meaning, and they both start to realize that what's between them is a little more than friendly.

Summary
Ava’s not the most skilled chef in the world and her baking skills are even less developed - but she’s learning and has expanded her ‘trusted dishes’ list to well over fifteen.
Even if Lilith tells her that five of them are only edible with egregious amounts of sauce and or salt.
Still, she’s getting better and today is a big test. Hell, today might be the most important test of her kitchen skills she’s ever had.
The last thing Ava wants to do is fuck up her daughters first birthday cake.

Summary
She waited for it, the pit in her stomach to roil from her sin of tracing the line of Ava’s jaw with her eyes, it always came. Early mornings, when pink and orange filtered through the corners of their makeshift window curtains, the sunrise glinting off a bit of drool on the corner of Ava’s lip that made her ache; drops of sweat lining her temples after an afternoon training session; all of her smiles and all of her soft, second-nature touches that would send Beatrice to her knees, door locked behind her in their tiny, leaking bathroom, begging for reprieve or repentance…
But this time, it never came.

“I made a list!” Ava trills.
“A list.”
“Yeah!” Oh no. Ava’s grin is wicked. “Of all the things that turn me on when I’m with a boy.”
Jesus Christ. Good thing Beatrice lowered that bottle.
“Care to explain?” she groans.
“I call it the to do list. I figured if I do all of this stuff with a girl and I get turned on, it means I’m also into girls.”- Language:

Summary
Sundays are for the girls.
Ava hears that once, passing some brunch place on her way home with a fresh loaf of bread in hand, sure steps heading back to their apartment where she’s hoping to convince Bea they don’t have to keep putting off Ava’s dream of a homemade bread bowl.
Okay, maybe what she hears is Saturdays are for the boys and maybe it’s from a bunch of guys with biceps the size of their heads. But she likes it enough to remember it as she strolls the rest of the way home so she can tell Beatrice.

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.
