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
Toni's always hated Shelby, so when Shelby gets drunk at Fatin's birthday party and throws herself at Toni out of nowhere, it all starts out as some sort of weirdly fucked up power play, because shouting matches with Shelby are going to be so much more satisfying for Toni when they both know that Toni rocked Shelby's world that one time in Fatin's guest bathroom.
It's supposed to be just the one time, until it isn't.
It's supposed to be just sex, until it's not.
(High school AU; everyone lives in Texas, some stuff from canon happens)

Summary
Every movie, every book, every story about the horrors of letting in the ghosts has prepared Dani for the constant state of alarm. The panic. The discomfort of the situation.
Not a single goddamn one told her how stupid it would be.

Summary
"Plus, I- I don’t want her to think—” She tucked her face closer, mumbling.
Bow patted her arm. “Come on, use your words.”
A pause.
“… I don’t want her to think I’m needy ...”
There was a cough as Glimmer stifled a laugh. “Adora has needs.”
“Shut up! That’s not what I—”
“Hey! Hey.” Bow lowered his voice. “We know that’s not what you meant. Adora, it’s perfectly okay to want a hug from your girlfriend.”
“Is it?” she asked, small, genuine.Catra is both touch-starved and touch-averse and it's turning into a real problem.
