    Summary

    Nat realises what she’s about to say a second before it comes out, a week’s worth of build-up tumbling out unbidden. “I think I want to try it. You know, with a girl. Just so I can stop fucking wondering. Just so I can finally know.”

    Somehow that feels even more exposing than anything else she’s said so far. God. She wants to try it out. Did she really have to word it like that? Like something she can just try on for size and then put back on the rack if she doesn’t like it or it doesn’t fit right? She wonders if Lottie will tell her to fuck off, or grow up, or—

    “I could do it.”

    Nat blinks. “What?”

    “If you want to try a girl,” Lottie says. “If you would rather try with someone you know rather than a total stranger, I’ll do it.”

    Summary

    Lena Luthor hates Christmas, but after an unfortunate series of events, the CEO finds herself stuck in a small town obsessed with holiday. With her mother's trial plastered across the news, Lena lies about her identity and attempts to hide out in her room at the Danvers' Bed and Breakfast, but nothing seems to go the way she wants them to. And of course, it doesn't help that she's continually distracted by the mysterious blonde woman who always and conveniently comes to her aid. Honestly, if Lena didn't know better, she'd swear it was like magic.

    It's the gay Hallmark Christmas movie we all deserve

    Summary

    So, Beatrice cleared her throat and asked, “Who are you?”

    The girl spun around, her hair whipping around her body as she did, performance forgotten. For a moment she just stared at Beatrice with wide brown eyes, mouth half open.

    Then she said, “Oh fuck.”

    And she completely disappeared, letting the wooden spoon clatter to the floor.

    OR

    Ava is the ghost haunting the house that Beatrice just moved into

    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.

    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.)
