    Summary

    “You’ve come into contact with a hormone created by Dr. Salvius when she was investigating fertility. It…well it heightens one’s hypothalamic neuron receptors, creating a—”

    “Bea,” Ava all but whines. “English, please.”

    “It causes extreme sexual arousal.”

    Ava is quiet for a beat, her body thrumming. “You’re saying I’ve been dosed with a sex drug?”

    or the Ava and Beatrice sex pollen fic.

    Summary

    Beatrice is contemplative. Silent. She studies Ava’s face like she’s memorizing flashcards.

    Ava knows she’s inclined towards wishful thinking, so she doesn’t entertain the idea that Beatrice came in just to do this. Just to catch a glimpse.

    Ava swallows. “Did you want another recommendation?”

    -

    Or,

    It's 1986. Ava works at a video rental store, Beatrice is a regular, and Ava has a desperate crush.

    Summary

    "Do you think we should get some chicken wings?" Lilith asked, glancing over her shoulder to look at the menu above the counter. 

    "I'm going to leave the order." 

    "Or maybe some garlic bread…" Lilith continued. She paused and whipped back around to face her friend. "I'm sorry, what?"

    Summary

    “This is a terrible plan.”

    “Well, it’s all we’ve got,” Ava said, pulling the oversized sweatshirt she’d been wearing over her head and throwing it aside, aware it was bound to catch on the window somehow if she didn’t. A part of her hoped Bea was looking as she revealed the bare arms underneath, flexing them under the pretence of limbering up. “Now, give me a boost.”

    OR

    There theoretically might be better ways to spend your Saturday night than locked in the university library with the hot hockey player you've been noticing non-stop for months, but Ava wouldn’t be interested.

    Summary

    "Once, Kite watched Joe’s face from his hammock and wanted to cry. Beneath everything, under the lost memories and this version of him that the war turned him into, it was still Jem. Like the light distorting something familiar, and then all of a sudden it caught him the right way and Jem was right there."

    Kite's yearning throughout the years, and finally being loved.

    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

    He sat up in bed and reached over to light a cigarette. Agatha slept peacefully next to him, her dark hair in tendrils on the white pillow. The bedroom was cold in the way that made everything feel almost damp. His shirt clung to his collarbones, eggshell-thin. The tip of the cigarette flared tangerine. Jem sat back against the cool pillow and wished, obscurely, for something warmer.

    He thought of his honeymoon and the gray foggy beach strung with black seaweed. In a monochrome world, Missouri appeared like a signal flare, with that characteristic expression of perfect patience, like he would have waited years for Jem to show up.

    Summary

    They had been avoiding this for months, a child-shaped hole in the middle of their happiness. Head in the sand, thought Joe. As if that were ever a long term solution for anything. He stood up straighter, looking over the top of Kite's head.

    "I think it's time to talk about it, don't you?"

    Joe finally confronts Kite about the death of Fred.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    "What therefore God hath joined together in human and daemon, let not man put asunder." (Mark 10:9)

    Jonathan Sims, six months after the Unknowing, wakes to find himself without a daemon - without humanity, without a soul. It's a cursed half-life, but existence as a shell without a heart isn't so bad: between solving the mystery of a persistent illusion cast over his friends and some light pseudo-cannibalism, a life as a monster is better than no life at all. At least, it would be, if it wasn't for the fucking Owl.

    Or: break free, Jon. You have nothing to lose anymore.

    Summary

    “You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
    “Yes.” No hesitation.
    “You would- actually do it?”
    “I would.”
    “With me.”
    Yes, Martin.”
    “Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?

    Or,

    When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

    Summary

    'I've noticed, that, ah, maybe, you- you don't, ah, hate me,' Jon says at last.
    There is a lengthy silence.
    'Um,' says Martin at last. 'No I- I don't- I don't hate you? Is that a- a- problem?'

     

     

    After returning from America, Jon shoots his shot. It goes... surprisingly well, given that it's him.

    Unfortunately there's also the matter of the Magnus Institute Employee Code Of Conduct Rules Regarding Romantic Relationships Between Employees, and all of the supplementary paperwork that needs to be filled in every time they go on a date.

    Summary

    I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.

    The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...

    (Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)

    Summary

    Not for the first time since they ran away together, a camera reel of all the things they don't know about one another whirs behind Martin's eyes, and he can't help but look at all the sprawling magnetic tape and wonder if they’re going to wind up a romance or a tragedy.

    or: Office parties, garage bands, and the joy of being known.
