    Summary

    In the months after Wanda got her new body, people occasionally mistook Melanie for Wanda. It was understandable—expected, even. (That didn’t make it ache any less.)

    Except that for some reason, Melanie’s been getting confused for Wanda more and more. So why doesn’t it doesn’t feel like a mistake?

    Or: Melanie is the last to realize that Wanda is still in her head.

    [Now with a TLDR of canon + a character key for those unfamiliar!]

    Summary

    “Ava,” she purred, “go stand in front of the car.”

    Ava felt lead in her stomach but still stood. She opened the door with numb hands, feeling distant from her body. She walked slowly, noticing the room behind Mistress’ car. Noticing how quiet this road was. Noticing -

    “Stay right there,” Mistress said. Ava felt compelled to do as commanded, standing completely still, rooted in place as Mistress began to reverse. Their eyes locked, her Mistress smirked... and then the car started flying towards her. Some long forgotten sense of self-preservation has Ava running onto the pavement and fleeing down the alleyways.
    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    After Ava finally escapes her abusive mistress, she is taken in by a coven of beautiful vampires, but her problems aren't over. Still addicted to the thrall and searching for justice, she finds herself dependant on them while she fights to find her own identity.

    And when seven beautiful women promise to lay down their lives for you, protect you, support you and heal you, how could you not fall in love?

    Summary

    Feeling emptier than ever, amidst the holy and unholy, Beatrice looked at Ava once more. Looked at her playful eyes, her ever present smirk, her now flushed, alive cheeks. Beatrice’s body was so warm it almost felt like a fever, and she knew there was nothing else that could do to make her feel better.
    So, she dropped to her knees once more.
    Ava looked down, their eyes meeting. Beatrice was not sure of how to act, exactly, but there was one thing she was definitely certain about.
    Beatrice knew how to worship.

     

    Beatrice has always been hungry for something she cannot name. One night, in the candlelit silence of a chapel, the statue of Saint Ava breathes. And for a few stolen moments, Beatrice’s devotion takes on a new form.

    Summary

    Samantha Stewart is not the Simurgh. This is obvious.
    It is also obvious that she is not one of the world's most powerful telekinetics, precogs, postcogs, Masters, and Tinkers. Sam is just an ordinary human with an ordinary job trying to live an ordinary life where she may or may not be mentally coerced into transforming into a fifteen-foot-tall angel and decimating a major population center every now and then.
    It is fairly obvious that she needs therapy, though. Losing her job doesn't help, and neither does getting caught in the middle of a violent cape battle. But maybe, just maybe, this means that Sam finally has the opportunity to do some good for a change.

    Soar is heavily inspired by Learning to Sing and lightly inspired by Case.
    Full-Work Content Warning for major depression and self-hatred. Things will get better, but hoo boy do they start off bad.
