    Summary

    Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.

    What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?

    "Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"

    He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"

    "Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.

    After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.

    Summary

    Beatrice reaches out and taps Ava’s notebook. “Finish your work.”

    ”Yes, ma’am.” Ava tries to sand the words down with humor, smooth them into an insignificant bump in their usual conversation, but her voice is too throaty, even to her own ears.

    She feels Beatrice’s eyes linger on her for long, long afterwards.

    Ava hires Beatrice as her tutor. Things go swimmingly.

    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.

    Summary

    Faith has never come easy to Beatrice-- it always was a business, a honed skill, a shield against the empty lonely childhood and a grating aching adolescence shunted out of sight by her disappointed parents-- but she’s had faith in Ava since the minute they stood outside of a tomb in the Vatican catacombs and Beatrice realized that she brought the dynamite as a backup to Ava out of habit instead of actual worry. She’d always known Ava would do what they needed, would succeed and find her way through her own fear, and Ava hadn’t disappointed her.

     

     

    Michael came back. Lilith came back. Ava hasn’t disappointed her yet, and she won’t start now.
