    Summary

    Oh.

    Love tastes like lemon drops and the iron of blood, smells like fresh laundry, soap, and the sweet undertones of argan lotion, sounds like a low, level voice and a marked British accent, love is earthy tones and navy and the texture of linen. Love, Ava discovered, feels like home.

    Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

    Or what it feels to go from strangers to tentative friends, to being friends, to suddenly realizing that you can't live without this person.

    Summary

    Far too sudden, she's being forced onto her back with the cold ground beneath her. Hands holding her down by the shoulders. She groans, blinks, looks up at who the fuck just saved her life but is also kind of manhandling her to the ground. Brown intense eyes, lips set into a frown and oh, she's pretty.

    "What on earth were you thinking?" The woman demands, voice sharp, rattling.

    Ava adverts her eyes. "I saw a light." She snorts, not helping herself. "That's fucking ironic isn't it? I saw a light and I almost died-"

    OR:

    Where Ava is dead set on hiking the Halo trail - falls through the ice the very first day and is rescued by a (very hot) woman (by Ava's humble opinion) with her sled dogs.

    Summary

    The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.

    She frowns.

    The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.

    Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?

    Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

    Summary

    “Jesus Christ!” Beatrice shouted.

    “No, no. Just Ava is fine,” the woman tilted her head in a toothy smile.

    “What?”

    Ava laughed as she took a step closer to Beatrice, “You look scared. I’m so sorry. I didn't mean to have you see me. Are you okay?”

    “I’m Beatrice.”

    Ava laughs again, loudly this time, her face unable to hold in her smile. Beatrice finally registers the question she was asked: “I mean, yes, I’m quite alright. Are you? I mean, am I imagining you?”

    “Oh you’re imagining me? What am I wearing in your imagination?” Ava teased.

    “What? No. I. Well, I mean” Beatrice stumbles over her words for the first time in her life.

    Ava saves her from further embarrassment. “Nah, unless you’ve been here imagining me for a few years, I’m actually here. Well, not here here but well, you understand.”

    Beatrice nodded, because sure it made perfect sense for a ghost to not be here here.

    Summary

    “Marry me, Beatrice Xin,” Ava was on one knee, presenting a cherry ring pop like it was a diamond.

    They’d only known each other for three days, but they were six and seven years old, so three days felt like an eternity. “If you insist,” Beatrice said, making her voice sound more formal than usual. This was, of course, a very important matter.

    “Yay!” Ava grinned, “at least I’ve got you. Jillian’s gonna have a baby soon, so she’s gonna forget all about me.”

    “I’m sure that’s not true,” Beatrice took the ring pop and slipped it on her finger. “You’re rather unforgettable.”

    “Really?” Ava asked, giving Beatrice a gap-toothed smile. “Do you think you’ll remember me even when you’re forty?”

    It was unimaginable for Beatrice to ever be that old, surely by then she’d have figured out the secret to staying young forever, but in the unlikely event that it actually did happen, she knew she’d still remember Ava Silva.

    They were married by a big oak tree, sharing a kiss that they’d both come to forget.

    Summary

    “Here,” she said, sliding the chair close enough to him that he could stand on it. From there, he was tall enough to reach the cookie jar. Victory at last.

    “Thank you, ma’am,” he said, the cookie in his mouth muffling his speech as he stuck out his hand, vaguely registering that these were the first words he’d spoken to Beatrice. “Are you going to tell my Mum?”

    Beatrice’s lips ticked up at the ends, “heavens no. Ava told me that the two of you had a competition of who can steal the most cookies from the jar by the end of the week.” She smiled at that, a small one, but it was real. “Consider me on your side, Mr. Salvius.”

    He beamed as they shook hands, “pleasure doing business, Ms. Xin.”

    Summary

    Ava held up a thin book, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. “Apparently, if a sick person folds one thousand paper cranes, they get a wish and they'll get better!”

    Beatrice froze, “Ava….”

    “Don’t worry, Bea,” Ava said, her eyes softening, “I–I know it won’t work. I’m just going a little stir crazy with nothing to do all day. Jillian cancelled my tutors, she says I need to focus on getting better, which we both know isn’t gonna happen.”

    Beatrice pursed her lips, “let me help, at least.”

    “What?”

    “You’re trying to fold a thousand cranes in–in three–”

    She wouldn't say it, she couldn’t, she didn't have to. Three months. The words unspoken filled the room, harsh, suffocating, all-consuming. Three months and Ava was gone. It wasn’t enough time, it would never be enough time.

    In one world, there’s a one bedroom apartment in the Swiss Alps. In another, there’s a neutral gray sedan with a good petrol mileage and OCS safe-houses scattered across Europe.

    In both, there’s Beatrice and there’s Ava.

    In both, that’s enough.

    Summary

    Throughout her life, there were a lot of things Ava had done that she was not exactly proud of. The most recent and possibly worst of all of them though was falling in love with a nun. A nun who just so happened to be her roommate and best friend. A nun who she shamelessly flirted with often and teased whenever possible.

    Did that make her a bad person? Possibly, which is why she took to asking strangers on the internet for their advice. Ava wasn’t exactly known for her bright ideas or even just thinking things through in general, so it should come as no surprise that she trusted the users of Reddit of all people to help her out during these trying times.

    Or

    Ava asking strangers on the internet all of her burning (and super personal) questions while she is alone in Switzerland with Bea, because who better to ask?

    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.
