Summary
But Camilla isn’t oblivious. “What?” She asks outright.
Gideon raises her eyebrows, suddenly feeling defensive, though she isn’t certain why. “Nothing,” she says.
Camilla sighs, and there’s that tiny, precious smile again, which makes something in Gideon go weak. “Okay,” she says, and then, terrifyingly: “Try that again.”
--
(Or, it's been a long night. Gideon and Camilla head home together.) (Platonically, duh.)

Summary
“Who are you?” Beatrice almost growls out, trying to use the timbre of her voice to disguise the fact that someone just fell through her window, someone she does not know, and that is slightly terrifying when she lives ten floors up.
“A- Spider-man, Jesus Christ, let me go.” They say, in the low light of her room Beatrice’s eyes have to adjust to see the red and blue slightly ribbed suit underneath her knee.
“Does that mean I’m supposed to let you go?”
“Preferably? Pretty please? Your knee is kinda hurting my stab-wound and I thought this was my building.”
(or the five times Beatrice met Spider-man and the one time she met Ava)

Summary
“Don’t forget the fortune cookies,” she says unnecessarily.
Bea is already carrying them over, having freed them from their plastic prisons. She hides them in her hand and moves her hands behind her back. Ava sees the muscles of her biceps flex as she moves them from hand to hand, mixing them up.
Ava pokes her tongue out of her mouth and squints. After a second, she points to the right hand. Bea hands her the fortune cookie she’s holding and sits back down, cradling her own fortune cookie.
Ava doesn’t wait for any kind of ceremony. She breaks her fortune cookie in half and pulls the fortune out, putting it facedown. She eats one half of the cookie first, for luck. Her mom always did it and Ava doesn’t remember a lot, but she remembers that most of mom’s fortunes came true, so it must have worked.

Summary
Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.
What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?
"Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"
He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"
"Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.
—
After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.

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.)
