    Summary

    Fareeha's never really cared for having a soulmate mark, and so she's really not bothered when she loses the arm it's on.

    Still, sometimes the question of whether or not your marks match is an awkward one, even when you're determined that it shouldn't matter.

    Summary

    “Okay so…don’t freak out.” Camila sets her down next to Beatrice’s and then pulls out her phone and starts tapping through it. Beatrice watches the sunflower keychain she has hanging from the case jangle around with each swipe of her finger. “Now, Lilith told me your situation. You need a fake girlfriend.”

    Beatrice gets up. “Not another dating app, Camila. I can't…”

    “No,” Lilith’s hands are on her shoulders, keeping her in place. “It’s not that.”

    Camila makes a face, a wince, like it’s somehow worse than her nightmarish stint on eHarmony. “This feels vaguely familiar to when I was told I’d be taking some time away from home and ended up in a catholic boarding school.”

    “Well,” Camila stops searching through her phone, apparently finding what she needed. “It’s nothing like that at all, but it might be equally as jarring. I had to break through like three security firewalls just to access this site.” She turns her phone around then for Beatrice to see the website she’s pulled up.

    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

    “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

    When Ava finally gets her body back, she would love nothing more than to explore it. Find new parts of her own self, sensations she never knew existed.

    Turns out she’s a little busy having superpowers (???) and not being dead (???) to immediately figure some shit out.

    But moments present themselves. No. Ava takes moments. Forcefully.
