    Summary

    Ava likes to think of herself as adaptable. When the opportunity for a little alone time with Beatrice presents itself, she’d be crazy not to take advantage.

    So, here she is, sitting on the very library table that started it all, once again coaxing her dear reluctant girlfriend into a little fooling around.

    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

    She blinks, face tilting up to bite away the sharp sting in her eyes. There’s no god for her to pray to. Not when the one she needs the most is in front of her, blood and bone, heaven settled in the bow of her lips.

    Alternatively, she settles on the persistent exhale of air hitting her chin like a drumbeat, like a lifeline. How exceptionally warm, nearly feverish, Ava feels under her palm because it reminds Beatrice she’s alive and she’s here.

    There’s a small wheeze, a whine really, rattling the back of her throat. Ava’s breaths are laborious, like her lungs are trying to take, take, take and the world won’t give.

    She’s—she’s dying.

    Beatrice’s jaw sets so hard she feels something crack.
