    Summary

    "That’s fucking hilarious. Getting drive thru married in fucking Florida? We should totally do it. Fuck you, Vegas! We make our bad decisions in Key West, baby!”

    Ava and Deborah get married on a whim while they're on the road, because a)it's the perfect joke and b) there is no line!

    (They're also pretty drunk, but that's neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things)

    title from leonard cohen's "anthem" because to me, everything is part of a bit

    Summary

    “So… you’re not mad?” The alcohol was already settling, warm in her stomach, and the words were out before she could stop them.

    “Mad?” Ava asked. “Why would I be mad?”

    “I’m…not entirely sure.” Beatrice had run through this conversation a thousand times in her head. Sometimes, the scenario ended with Ava telling her they couldn’t be friends anymore. Sometimes, it ended in a way that would make Beatrice blush to think about. Either way, she never pictured it being this casual.

    “It’s cool.”

    “It’s – it’s ‘cool?’”

    Ava shrugged. “Yeah. I mean, I used to have a ridiculous crush on you too, so I guess we’re even, right?”

    Camila accidentally spills the beans to Ava about Beatrice’s feelings. They deal with it like idiots. College AU.

    Summary

    Unbound for a second, Beatrice lifts her hand back up. There’s no dirt, no excuse, but she palms Ava’s face again, just to feel it, just for that special close lipped smile that graces Ava’s face again, just for her to sigh.

    She removes it quickly—not quickly enough, too quickly—catching Ava’s eyes when they open again.

    “Now,” Beatrice says, voice soft and serious. “Let’s try again.”

    Ava nods, the halo glows, her feet leave the ground, and she doubles her time.

    Beatrice realizes that her touch helps Ava with her training, and, well, things escalate.

    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

    She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.

    You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.

    You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.
