    Summary

    “We created it. But, biologically, it’s identical to any other. I have the same need for sleep, food, water.”

    “Created it, huh?” Ava leaned a shoulder against the doorframe. “Based on what?”

    “Input from our limited data on earth. We developed a cache of features and arranged them.”

    “Ah, like create a Sim.” Ava nodded. At Beatrice’s blank look, she said, “It’s an earth game. We’ll play sometime. And, um, you know. You guys did a great job. At arranging.”

    “Thank you.” Beatrice blinked. “It was designed to be aesthetically pleasing.”

    “So you’re hot on purpose.” She blew out a long breath. “Honestly, thank God. That’s kind of relieving. I was worried I was—”

    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

    “Hey! You should get a tattoo.”

    “Oh, no no. I don’t think I’d like it very much.” Beatrice says, shaking her head.

    “The pain is nothing for most people, it’s just like an annoying prickly massage. I’m gentle, I promise.” Ava winks and laughs at Beatrice’s flush. The woman blushes a lot, and Ava doesn’t mind making it happen. Actually, it may be her new favorite thing.

    Or

    Beatrice is a florist with a past she’s tried desperately to run away from and Ava is (simp)ly a tattoo artist just trying to find someone to spend forever with. They meet when Ava's friends Shannon and Mary are in the midst of planning their wedding and need Ava to step in and help.
