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.

the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
“I was told I would be able to meet with the chef this afternoon,” Beatrice says, as politely as she can manage. She’s meant to start working tomorrow and she hasn’t even met the executive chef yet, outside of traded emails where she was swayed by the promise of full autonomy into leaving her position as pastry chef at one of the only restaurants in the city with three Michelin stars for a fledgling fusion tapas joint sandwiched between a pierogi stand and a vape shop on the lower east side that got an upstart Michelin star in its first year of operation.

Summary
At the end of the fucking world, Beatrice is beautiful.
Not in that pseudo-glamorous way vampires always are when they’re the subject of movies and television shows, or the gothic elegance of how they’re described in books, but in a simple, effortless way that makes Ava’s heartbeat feel at home a little too close to the surface of her chest. To Ava, the entire apocalypse is a vivid, vibrant neon, from the city's kaleidoscopic street signs to the complicated collision of elements that spark inside of her body whenever Beatrice runs her tongue over the edge of a fang, or laughs at one of her stupid jokes, or brings her lips to the delicate skin of Ava's wrist and drinks.
If you want my blood this badly, Beatrice, Ava says with a smirk, you can earn it.

Summary
Lena Luthor is going to die.
She’s going to die very soon and she’s going to do it right here on the road to god-knows-where, Colorado, her hands still clutching the wheel of this foul-smelling rental car, buried under five feet of snow for the remainder of the season until some fortunate family of possums digs her up in spring, probably. (Do they have possums in the mountains?)
But before she dies, she’s going to kill Sam Arias.
-
In which Lena Luthor hates the winter holidays, until her best friend lures her to her cabin in the mountains where she's promptly held hostage by a very well-timed snowstorm and the irresistible charms of unexpected guest Kara Danvers. (But Lena will literally kill a man before admitting to that last part.)
