    Summary

    “Yep, that’s —” a woman sat directly in front of where Beatrice was standing twisted around to face her. It was Ava. Unavoidably, it was Ava. Unquestionably, it was Ava. Unfortunately, it was Ava.

    “Oh my God,” Ava Silva declared, a wide grin forming across her face. “Beatrice?”

    After a nebulous not-quite-friendship at university, Ava disappears unceremoniously from Beatrice's life. Some years later, the two meet again, in Accident & Emergency.

    Summary

    Ava Silva, a celebrated landscaper, has just arrived in England in 1931 for her next job. As she settles herself in the quiet England coastal town, rumours begin to reach her about her reclusive neighbour; a novelist from London who seems to be shrouded in layers of sordid scandals and gossip.

    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

    Don't let a witch wrangle you into a deal. She may very well steal your heart.

    (AKA Ava takes the long way home. It is mostly of her own choosing.)

    Summary

    Ava drifts, flitting from one formless place to another, catching glimpses of vaguely familiar faces, hearing things she has heard before—please don’t leave me, I don’t want you to die.

    Beatrice so rarely asks her for anything, and Ava hates that she couldn’t even give her this one thing. The least she can do is go back.

    Preferably alive.
