    Summary

    If Vi wasn’t going to study, Caitlyn would outpace her by sheer preparation. She’d take extra notes, attend every optional lecture, even dig into obscure research papers that their professor had only hinted at during office hours. Vi might breeze through on charm and natural talent, but Caitlyn had the power of discipline on her side.

    The only problem? Discipline didn’t account for Vi.

     

    OR

    They're the best students from their major, and Caitlyn is going insane because Vi never studies and still ends up getting better grades than her, who is running on coffee and sleepless nights 24/7. And they were roommates.

    Summary

    “You are not taking good enough care of yourself,” Caitlyn starts, looking towards the fountain. She’s lost weight and her cheeks are hollowed, the knuckles of her hand too pronounced into Vi’s grasp. “I need you now, more than ever, Violet.”

    “You have me,” Vi says, as a matter of fact. As if she has anyone else to live for, to give her loyalty to. “In any way you’d want me.”

    No matter what she does, Vi can't seem to relax. Luckily, her girlfriend has a solution. (By request: Caitlyn wears the hexstrap.)

    Summary

    Caitlyn whispers, “Spit in my mouth.”

    Vi blinks. “What?”

    “Spit in my mouth, Violet,” Caitlyn says again, more convicted. Her back arches slightly off the mattress, and Vi darts down to her breasts.

    Or, the calm in Caitlyn's bedroom after a storm.

    Summary

    Powder lets out a loud snort, her voice coming out in a wry, sarcastic drawl. “Yeah, that’ll happen. Vi’ll get a rich business lady to— no, no, no,” her voice raises a pitch with excitement, and a cackle of laughter, “a Suit. Vi gets one of the Suits to fall in love with her.”

    A small town mechanic, a city girl with car trouble and a holiday au romance like every other.

    Summary

    “I wish you could’ve known her, back then,” Vi says. “Known Powder. You would’ve gotten on pretty well.”

    Caitlyn takes that in. Vi’s reminded she has so few pieces of the sister Vi grew up with. Of the girl she prayed would still be alive and waiting for her if—when—she ever got free from that shithole they put her in.

    “Then it’s probably for the best that I didn’t,” Caitlyn says. "I have a job to do. And I already know it’s much harder to do it if you care too much about someone involved.”

    ----------

    Fresh out of Stillwater and clinging to the knowledge her sister is still alive, Vi struggles to reconcile the life she’s returned to with the life she was torn out of. Caitlyn, determined to find Jinx and hold her accountable for the attack on the council, keeps pushing her to move forward. Everything else is pulling her back—memories, ghosts. Vi's not coping. But time has a way of giving as much as it takes, with any luck. And with love.

    Summary

    "Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."

    In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

    Summary


    The handshake is firm, stark because of calloused fingers.

    Beatrice does not know what to do then. Her plan was not to come in. Her plan was not even to eat some of the pie.

    "Ava," Beatrice repeats, unknowingly building a connection in her brain that will later associate the three letters with the very sweet and decadent taste of the huckleberry and blackberry pie in Beatrice's mouth.

    Ava smiles as if she were aware of it.

    //

    It is 1983, and Beatrice’s mother is dead set against the new neighbors. Beatrice ought to disagree. Ava Silva is the perfect neighbor - to experiment with.

    Summary

    “You’re so pretty, Bea,” she croaks, unable to keep it all inside. Now there’s no reason to.

    “You try to keep yourself hidden from the entire world,” Ava goes on, rocking back on the bed. She watches as Beatrice putters silently around the room, blinking the sleep from her eyes. “And you did, really—you did such a good job of that. But you’re so gorgeous, like, holy fuck. I’ve never seen eyes like yours. You should wear your hair down more often, but your bun looks good, too. Bea, do you want me to talk about your freckles again?”

    Beatrice doesn’t respond to her, of course. She never does.

    Summary

    “Yep, that’s —” a woman sat directly in front of where Beatrice was standing twisted around to face her. It was Ava. Unavoidably, it was Ava. Unquestionably, it was Ava. Unfortunately, it was Ava.

    “Oh my God,” Ava Silva declared, a wide grin forming across her face. “Beatrice?”

    After a nebulous not-quite-friendship at university, Ava disappears unceremoniously from Beatrice's life. Some years later, the two meet again, in Accident & Emergency.

    Summary

    From the road, Ava could only make out their broadest features: a woman in a white tank top, her muscled shoulders tanned from the sun, an axe dangling casually in one hand. She had already placed a log in front of her, and as Ava watched she lifted the axe above her head and swung it downwards in a single fluid motion, the taut muscles of her arms working so perfectly with the axe they might have all been one. The log split easily into two, as though she were cutting through paper, and the woman picked up the two halves to place them into a neat stack nearby.

    “Ah,” Schaefer said, catching the line of her gaze, “That’s Beatrice. Your new neighbor. Don’t mind her too much, she’s a little… eccentric.”

    Ava liked eccentric. She also liked women who looked like they could tear her in half without too much effort. She had a feeling she was going to like Beatrice a lot.

    Summary

    Ava’s mouth drops open. “Me? I’d have to move out? No way. I’m basically built into the woodwork at this point.” She jabs a finger at Bea. “You jump, I jump. What’s that one line you like, from Ruby?”

    “Ruth,” Bea corrects quietly. “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you,” she quotes. “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.”

    Ava nods with an air of finality. “You’re my forever-roomate, Beatrice. Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay.”

    Bea smiles, eyes on the floor for a moment before they meet Ava’s. “Okay. I suppose I can live with that.”
