    Summary

    "You're illegal," Valentina says, blunt, impatient, annoyed.

    "Undocumented," Mel corrects hastily.

    "And?" Yelena raises an eyebrow. "Would you like one of my many entirely legitimate American passports?" She folds her arms lazily over her chest.

    "The world knows your real name now." Valentina folds her hands primly in her lap. "Your passports won't help you. You need another way to legitimize yourself. This is the fastest way."

    also known as: The One Where Yelena Needs a Green Card

    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

    The cacophony of loss that’s been shrieking in her head for three thousand days alone quiets as the world around her screams in its place, and as she’s flung through the dust and the fury and the cartwheeling debris of pursuit vehicles that never stood a chance against the storm, she closes her eyes and stops fighting.

    Summary

    Ahsoka had brought her to Shatterdome once her body had healed, a long two years of rehab and recovery, and she had pushed herself through simulations and copilot candidates until she had been deemed unsuitable for a return to active duty, too locked into the grief of her lost copilot to let anyone else into the drift with her. Grounded. Useless.

     

    One look at Shin Hati, freshly arrived in Shatterdome to be matched to a new copilot after her uncle and copilot had ascended to a leadership role alongside Ahsoka, with her pale hair and pale skin and pale eyes, angular and striking and unwavering, and Sabine's carefully-constructed equilibrium ruptures into seething, scalding hatred.

    Summary

    Beatrice is standing stiffly across the room. She rolls her shoulders, rolls her head on her neck, stares down at her hands. An unfamiliar smile slides across her face-- and Ava knows all of Beatrice’s smiles now, knows the polite nun smile and the customer service smile from the bar and the friendly smile for Hans and the small genuine one for Camila and the careful genuine one for when Ava makes her laugh and the less careful open one when Ava surprises her with coffee on the rare days she wakes up first-- and Ava’s stomach twists.

    Summary

    Ava would apologize but she’s not sorry at all: Beatrice is here, and Ava is tipsy, and the night is going great despite the fact that has perhaps possibly dug herself into a tiny financial hole betting on eight ball skills that she absolutely does not have.

    Summary

    “I’ll teach you how to drive,” Beatrice mumbles. Exhaustion drags her vowels out more than usual, softer and messier than usual, and Ava wants to touch her, wants to fix the loose strand of hair over her temple, wants to press her fingertips to the freckles she knows are there even if the faint light hides them. “If you want."

     

    “Gonna hold you to that one, Bea,” Ava says instead. It earns her a half a smile, sleepy and unguarded, even as Beatrice’s eyes stay closed, and Ava smiles for the first time since they were in the Vatican.

    Summary

    She starts forward and then stops herself with a jerk.  Beatrice is an adult, Beatrice can handle herself, Beatrice could probably lay out everyone in this train car without displacing a single hair on her head, and Ava is the mess that dragged her out of her life.  Beatrice doesn’t need Ava to save her, doesn’t need saving at all when it comes to a charming-looking hot guy with wavy hair and a good smile, but then he leans closer to Beatrice and Ava feels the halo flare in her back and stomps over, slings her arms around Beatrice, hooks her chin over her shoulder.

    Summary

    The world stops when her shaking fingers find their way to Beatrice’s neck, fingertips slick with blood as they search for a pulse in the familiar spot that makes Beatrice make unspeakable noises and do unspeakable things with Ava kisses it, under the sweep of a jawline Ava has so well memorized she might as well have been born knowing it. The world stops because there’s nothing there, a cruel stillness in Beatrice’s veins and laxness to her body as Ava’s shaking hands grab for Beatrice’s wrist, ripping at her bracers so clumsily that the halo flares and the leather-- expensive and combat-prepped, sturdy, strong-- rips under her hands so she can try for the pulse at her wrist.

    Summary

    Ava could kiss her now. Ava wants to kiss her now, uncaring of the fact that they have an audience and that she just died and there's almost certainly still a hoard of Adriel’s lunatics in an elevator on their way after them right now. Ava could kiss her and hold onto her and swear to never let her go if Bea will just let her, but instead she tilts at the last second and buries her face in Beatrice’s collar, inhales the smell of leather and lavender.

    Summary

    Faith has never come easy to Beatrice-- it always was a business, a honed skill, a shield against the empty lonely childhood and a grating aching adolescence shunted out of sight by her disappointed parents-- but she’s had faith in Ava since the minute they stood outside of a tomb in the Vatican catacombs and Beatrice realized that she brought the dynamite as a backup to Ava out of habit instead of actual worry. She’d always known Ava would do what they needed, would succeed and find her way through her own fear, and Ava hadn’t disappointed her.

     

     

    Michael came back. Lilith came back. Ava hasn’t disappointed her yet, and she won’t start now.

    Summary

    “What--” 

    “Baby,” Yang says, strangled, and Blake’s ears flick uncertainly.

     “What are you--”

      “Baby!” Weiss echoes, insistent and strained, and Blake freezes in place, because Yang doesn’t call her baby often but Weiss certainly does it precisely never. She uproots her boots from the floor and shoves up between the two of them, and nearly trips over her own feet because there’s a baby in a stroller sitting in the middle of the wrecked building.

    Summary

    “You can send me back,” Weiss says after a moment. “I’ll just leave again. I’d rather be here than anywhere else in Atlas, but I’ll still run away.”

    “Weiss.” Winter softens immeasurably, shoulders tilting towards her. There’s a familiar downturn to her lips, the same sad one that she’d had when she disinfected the gash over Weiss’s eye, took her to a doctor and held her hand while she was stitched up, and Weiss knows that she’s won.

    “Perhaps we can come to an arrangement,” General Ironwood says.

    or: Winter leaves, and Weiss follows.

    Summary

    If Yang weren’t on a horse right now-- Qrow’s horse, and Qrow’s armor, and Qrow’s lance and shield and sword, snuck out from under him while he drowned himself in cheap wine at their parents’ house-- she would punch him. Instead she settles for kicking uselessly out at him. She misses, because of course she does, because she doesn’t know how to do anything in armor, because she’s barely a squire, much less a knight, and is rewarded with the unfamiliar spurs jabbing into the horse’s side on the backswing and then she’s nearly flung off over the horse’s back end when it rears up and sets off at a canter out of the stable.

    There’s no way that Jaune-- stupid, annoying, absurdly talented forger Jaune with his capabilities and his debts and his stupid smiling face-- hears her cursing his entire pathetic bloodline as the horse carries her out of the stable, but she likes to think he does anyways.
