    Summary

    “Let me take that,” Beatrice says quickly, gathering it one hand.

    Ava opens her mouth to argue but it blends into a yawn and she ducks her head sheepishly at the slight laugh that escapes past Beatrice’s lips. “It needs to be cleaned,” Ava starts.

    Beatrice shakes her head. “I’ll do it.”

    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

    “I need you to give me a hickey,” Ava says, a little out of breath like she’s just run across campus to deliver this incredibly important mission.

    “I…” Beatrice starts, brain going unfortunately muddled. “I beg your pardon?”

    ---

    or: the three (3) times Beatrice gave Ava a hickey and the one (1) time Ava returned the favor

    Summary

    “We’ve met before,” Beatrice croaked out. She couldn’t remember - not particularly well - but she knew. She knew that sunny smile and those warm eyes and a promise of meeting again.

    “Have we?” Ava asked, not teasing, just genuinely curious.

    “Not here,” she clarified, the words coming out without any conscious choice. “Another life. Another time.”

    Ava’s eyes crinkled as she smiled, a small, warm, familiar thing. “I see,” was all she said, but Beatrice intrinsically knew that Ava believed her. That she trusted her. “Then I hope we meet again, in our next lives.”

    or; Beatrice and Ava, soulmates throughout various lifetimes

    Summary

    “So…” Ava starts, her voice soft and childish as always. Only it isn’t childish? Childlike, maybe. The happy tilt of the words makes the sentences always flow melodiously to Beatrice's ears.

    Beatrice had missed it.

    She doesn’t turn from the task she has, though, not even to witness Ava’s sly smile.

    “Yeah?”

    “There's only one bed.”

    She pauses unintentionally. She rises as she connects the last wire. “So there is.”
