Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.
or
the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
hon·or /ˈänər/ (verb)
Fulfill (an obligation) or keep (an agreement).
-
How I imagine them meeting (or 5 things Jade learns about the princess and one thing Kit tells her).
-
“I’m Jade,” she tells the princess, but can’t manage to catch her gaze. As she stares, she waits for Kit to say or do something. But it’s only when she gives up and turns to leave that the princess manages to respond.
“I need you to stay,” she rushes out, and it catches Jade so off guard she almost gets whiplash when she turns back around.
“Your highness-”
But Kit looks up at her then, making real eye contact for the first time, and it crushes the air out of Jade’s chest. It feels strange, getting watched so directly when Kit's been so stealthy until now. Like her soul's bared for judgment.
The princess has weaponized her attention, and it pays off.
“I want you to stay.”
It tugs at her heartstrings.
“Don’t worry, highness,” Jade turns around for the last time. “I’ll watch over you.”

Summary
To Ava, nothing had ever been so confusing, so gorgeous, so heartbreaking as the discovery of her own body. And then there was her discovery of Beatrice’s.
Or,
Ava accidentally sees Beatrice naked. It makes the whole "sharing a one bedroom apartment in Switzerland" thing a little more complicated than it was before. A comedy of errors in three acts.

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.
