    Summary

    In a sudden flash (of insight, of yearning, of want), Beatrice can see them at the table of their small home - apartment, she corrects herself sternly - flour on Ava’s cheek, concentration on her brow as she tries for the eighth time to pleat a dumpling closed the way Beatrice had taught her -

    or: Beatrice, food, and memories - old and new - together with Ava

    or or: Three times Beatrice cooks for Ava and one time she doesn’t

    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.

    Summary

    “So pretty,” Beatrice said, her fingers tracing Ava’s cheeks.

    “Jeez, someone’s a lightweight,” she said with a small laugh. “Can’t even handle one little tranquilizer dart, huh?”

    But Beatrice didn’t even crack a smile. “I wish this were real,” she said, her voice sounding distant. Her eyes were still unfocused, though they were trained directly on Ava’s mouth. Her fingers trailed downwards, until they found Ava’s lips.

    Ava’s world narrowed into that single point of contact. For a second, she thought she might be dying. Would the halo resurrect her if she spontaneously combusted?

    /

    A little canon divergence from the tranquilizer scene.

    'you are overcome, when you see yourself in the mirror; your soul, eternal longevity be damned, leaps: there you are. you do up an elegant pair of cufflinks and look at a reflection you have always wanted to know.

    there you are.'

    or: beatrice becomes herself.
