    Summary

    Beatrice was dragged to the altar of Catholicism. She did not easily go to her knees, but was nonetheless cowed before it. She learned guilt, and let it bite at her heels. With every step she understood and regretted each she had taken out of line.

    She regretted who she loved. She regretted who she was.

    Shannon had insisted she was wrong. "The God I believe in wouldn't damn you for who and how you love," Shannon had told her. But now Shannon was gone. All that remained was her duty to the Halo. All that remained was Ava.

    In crisis, Beatrice finds herself kneeling at a different altar entirely.

     

    Or: Beatrice: a study in longing.

    Summary

    When Jaeyi retreats to an old lighthouse to grieve in solitude, the last thing she expects is for a silent, half-drowned girl to wash up on the rocks below. Seulgi doesn’t speak, doesn’t explain, but she stays. What begins in quiet survival slowly becomes something sacred: the steady, unspoken rebuilding of two hearts learning to hold light again.

    Seulgi thought the sea would take her, but Jaeyi’s hands were steadier than the tide.

    Summary

    After some life-altering events, Beatrice decided to change a lot of things about her life. Now, she stood in a freezing Swedish train station—lost, alone, and ready to give up. But she’s not the only one. Ava, a stranger with her own troubled past, arrived at the same place, just as lost but with a much more positive mindset. Though their reasons for being there couldn’t be more different, they found each other.

    OR there's a train, a very long journey, and two very lost people who really need the comfort of a stranger.

    Summary

    Looking at Beatrice, the freckles dusted across her nose and the way her eyes crinkle when she laughs, Ava is hit by a wave of melancholy. Why did her life here have to come now? It feels as if she’s living her life backwards, part of some cruel joke played upon Ava by a God which hates her. This should be saved for a time when so much pressure did not rest upon her shoulders. This brief haven of pure companionship, a simple life, normal jobs, sharing a bed with someone beautiful – why now? Why make her experience such wonder when the inevitable will come, when it will be snatched from her overnight?

    Summary

    “Well, Ava,” Beatrice clicked her pen, “what do you have for us today?”

    “Incredible story, actually,” she said and made her way to the lectern as if she had done it a million times. “I did have a great presentation ready—mind blowing, really—but I left my flash drive at my hotel, so I’m just going to wing it.”

    “You’re going to…wing it?” It was the first time all day Lilith had spoken to a lecturer. “You are one of five, out of hundreds of applicants, to vie for this incredibly coveted position, and you’re going to wing it?”

    “Yep!” She said with a happy clap and pressed the button to raise the projector screen. “I’m good at doing things on the fly. You could say I’m-“ she looked over her shoulder at the class, “in my element.”

    Summary

    "You are joking!" One of her hands pushed Beatrice's shoulder.

    "I'm not the comedian here, Ava."

    "You should be. You are the funniest person I've ever met." Ava rested her chin on top of her hand, staring fondly at the woman in front of her.

    Beatrice found that affirmation ridiculous and huffed. "I'm certain you are the only one who thinks that."

    Ava placed her free hand on top of Beatrice's. "If someone thinks you're not funny, maybe they aren't thinking at all."

    –––––––

    Or the one where Ava is a comedian and Bea is a sucker for jokes and puns.

    Summary

    A symphony AU in which Ava is a non classically trained prodigy of music and has only entered the classical music scene a few years prior. Beatrice has been training to play violin since she was three and now holds first chair at the OCS Symphony in Spain.

    Jillian and Michael Salvius, along with Suzanne are board members of the OCS. After their resident conductor announced her retirement. The board needed to name a new conductor. Although not the most traditional or experienced choice, after the Salvius’ convincing pitch, the board voted (a close race) to bring on Ava Silva in hopes she can usher in a new age for the OCS, as their tickets sales had been declining steadily for years now.

    How will the symphony adjust to Ava taking the new role? How will the board? How will the public who attends?

    Along the way, a certain first chair violin player who is always serious, may learn to enjoy the feeling of the music more than the technique.

    And perhaps a certain wild child might finally feel like she has found herself a place she wants to stick around in.

    Cheesy pining, music, and sexy times ensue.

    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."
