    Summary

    Miss Silva sighs, dramatic and put-upon. “Alright. I suppose I wouldn’t want you to lose your stripes for the grievous crime of using my name. But if you can’t call me Ava, can you do something else for me?”

    Beatrice nods, even though it’s dangerous, even though Miss Silva could ask her for anything.

    Perhaps she nods because Miss Silva could ask her for anything.

    “Can you think of me as Ava, just in your head?” Miss Silva requests. “Even if you never say it.”

    Beatrice considers this. A truly honourable person wouldn’t agree; decorum should govern the thought as well as the action. But Beatrice is already expected to tell Miss Silva no so often that it gets harder every time, and surely this is a small enough concession that no real harm can come of it.

    -

    Or, Ava throws everything she has at chipping away Beatrice's propriety, and it only takes several years, a pirate ship, and being absolutely shameless for her to succeed.

    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

    Ava does do the YouTube thing, actually, thank you very much. Mostly to her own surprise. Beatrice always has faith in her, but Ava knows that, historically speaking, her interest in something can crank up to eleven and then entirely dissipate without warning.

    But she gets a little stand to hold her phone up, and brings over the lamp from Beatrice’s desk to add a bit of extra light to the kitchen, and films herself trying to make croissants.

    Perhaps she should’ve started with something easier. Like, a lot easier. But by the time she’s realised that the pastry is an absolute disaster, she’s already made a bunch of good jokes to the camera, and so she decides this is what Beatrice would call a sunk cost fallacy and commits to it.

    -

    Ava starts a dumb YouTube channel where she makes complicated recipes badly. Maybe people show up for that, but they kind of stick around for her conversations with her roommate - who stays off-screen. Mostly.

    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

    Yes, Ava likes girls (and boys). Yes, she has no trouble acknowledging when a girl is pretty, or hot, or both. Yes, horny is one of her few default mindsets. But to be fair, she’s twenty-two and very new at this. Girls, boys, romance, sex. Life. So what if she chose her personal trainer because she let out a loud “hot damn!” when she saw her picture online, along with all the martial arts she has mastered? What if she let instinct choose rather than reason? Who hasn’t? So, yeah. Let her have this, okay? Plus, she’s just looking. Discreetly. She thinks. And Beatrice does seem like she’s a great trainer, considering all the reviews Ava read about her.

    Summary

    Beatrice is contemplative. Silent. She studies Ava’s face like she’s memorizing flashcards.

    Ava knows she’s inclined towards wishful thinking, so she doesn’t entertain the idea that Beatrice came in just to do this. Just to catch a glimpse.

    Ava swallows. “Did you want another recommendation?”

    -

    Or,

    It's 1986. Ava works at a video rental store, Beatrice is a regular, and Ava has a desperate crush.

    Summary

    They had to leave for the airport in a few hours, J.C would be heading over to them shortly to pick up Strike.

    And Beatrice was only half packed.

    This was a level of chaos that Ava would only ever expect from herself.

    Was she a bad influence? Quite possibly.

    Was she enjoying every moment of this? Absolutely.

    Summary

    "Time is an illusion! Days blur when we're in the middle of nowhere!" Ava slipped off of the counter. 

    Ava was starting to freak out. Mary finally let herself laugh. 

    "Oh my God it's Valentines day in…" Ava checked her phone again. "Three days? What the fuck!"

    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

    Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.

    Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.

    (Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

    Summary

    Lilith was her best friend. 

    Her sister. 

    "I'll let you choose where to eat as long as you don't bring up your hot British neighbour again." 

    Oh, how she hated her. 

    "I haven't even mentioned her that much!"

    "Her eyes were so intense, Lilith." Lilith began in a mocking tone. "The leather jacket she wore was so fitting Lilith. Her neck was so-" 

    "Oh my god stop!" Ava slapped the button for the elevator. "I do not sound like that."

    Summary

    Lexa’s no stranger to the mystical powers of pretty girls. She has accepted and moved on from the fact that they make her feel things beyond the scope of her normally stunted emotional range. But this – whatever she feels for Clarke – has ballooned into something huge and visceral and uncontrollable, and Lexa hates feeling out of control.

    She’s honestly not even sure when it started. For Christ’s sake, they’ve been going to the same high school for three years. It seems to Lexa like whatever this shit is could’ve started years earlier, when she at least had the excuse of being newly hormonal.

    ___

    The High School AU where Lexa finds herself in the improbable and unenviable position of having absolutely no clue and no cool. Clarke isn't helping.

    Summary

    “You’re already here,” Raven urges. “It’s a masquerade. How can you miss out on the fun of a New Year's Eve masquerade? It’s fun, a little flirting behind masks, play up the anonymity. Then when you see her at work, flirt a little more. It’ll be like Grey’s Anatomy meets Phantom of the Opera.”

    “Everyone misuses the Phantom of the Opera,” Octavia interrupts. “If you don't read it or see the play, you think the guy in the mask is the one she’s in love with. No one pays attention to the real story.”

    ----

    At a New Year's Eve charity gala for her hospital, Clarke has a plan to seduce the girl from work she's been crushing on from afar. Nothing ever goes to plan.

    Summary

    "Clarke really fucking knows what she's doing. Lexa makes that conclusion right away. Hard not to conclude that when the blonde's hands set her body on fire.

    She's got a set of rules that they go over quickly. No kissing on the mouth makes Lexa quirk an amused eyebrow, but she agrees with a small shrug. She doesn't really care. If the blonde is a hopeless romantic at heart, it's none of her business.

    That's all it is, anyway. Business. And Clarke is more than a perfect partner. Lexa makes a mental note to send Anya a fruit basket. Fuck it, a fruit garden. She was spot on about this. It's been a mere hour, and Lexa already feels like she can take on the whole world. Yes, sex with Clarke is that good."
