Summary
“I think I might be too old for a fuck buddie,” Amy says, half laughing, half scoffing.
“Friends with benefits then,” Kirsten says, amused. “Casual lovers. An erotic rendezvous. A randy tryst.”
OR
Kirsten doesn't want a relationship. Amy isn't getting attached. They're both lying.

Summary
Four days later and Kirsten hasn't called again.
Amy understands. She fully understands, but she knows that it's probably taking as much of a toll on Kirsten as it is on her and Poppy. Even Fergal takes longer settling down now, constantly staring at the door and whining; his little hands up like he's waiting for Kirsten to walk through and pick him up.
He's ten months now. He knows how to say "mama" and a few other odds and ends words. He's so close to walking, using the couch or any surface he can to stand and use his legs.
Poppy's birthday is coming up soon.
September has appeared too quickly.
But, they're still in August and they still have enough time for Kirsten to be there.

Things are so, so good.
Which is why it shouldn’t really knock Kirsten backwards onto her arse as much as it does on the evening that Amy says, “I think I’m ready to try using the strap.”

Summary
The sun drifts down through the trees through the garden, a warm breeze ruffling over her untied hair, the back of Mark’s head. The sound of bird song is still a novelty to her. Something that she doesn’t take for granted. They should get a bird feeder. One of those baths, too, she thinks.

“Mark.” She murmurs, her voice echoing. The tap drips.
She’s so alive, he thinks. So, so alive.

Summary
“You’re too pretty to be a nun,” she—the patient, the charming patient, Ava Silva, 19, no family, paralyzed from the neck down—tells Beatrice when she walks into the room.
Beatrice doesn't know what to say to that. She doesn’t spend much time looking at herself except to smooth out her hair, to make sure there are no stray pieces of lint on her shirt. She definitely hasn’t thought about the word pretty in relation to herself.
“I’m not,” she tells Ava directly.
“Not pretty or not a nun?"

Summary
'you read for a while, your heart caught in your throat and you have to pause, a prayer, when you read, 'nature held me close and seemed to find no fault with me.' the earth is here for you to become, and there is nothing wrong with you, and your wants. the earth wants, itself. all of it exists, with you; the worms and the wolves and the moss and the salt and the way your fingers warm, painful and red, at first, in the blast of the car heater, but then steady, the sting fading as you drive home.'

Summary
She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.
You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.
You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

"Ernie asked if we were back together," Lucy broaches, staring out into the ocean.
Whistler takes a beat. "What did you tell him?"
"That we weren't," Lucy replies, "which I think is the truth but felt like a lie."

Summary
Alex Danvers never wanted to be a demigod.
It was dangerous life— filled with monsters and magic and vengeful gods— and most demigods never made it past the age of eighteen. But Camp Half-Blood brought her more than quests and near death experiences. It gave her an unexpected family. A place to belong.
It gave her Maggie Sawyer.
And she didn’t want to be anywhere else.

Summary
Life, as Dani Clayton sees it, is full of darkness. Little darknesses, like a mother who draws away even as she continues to draw breath, and big darknesses, like loss that comes out of absolutely nowhere, and all the variations in between. Life is unpredictable. It’s ugly. It’s cruel.
Life also grants the laughter of small children, and wonderful dinners prepared by good friends, and Jamie’s hand in hers.
There is, certainly, no shortage of lights in the dark.

Summary
Maggie just doesn’t see the appeal of fawning over someone with that kind of reputation—a player in more ways than one. And of course, she’s straight, anyway, so she wouldn’t be interested in hooking up with Alex Danvers or any woman in the first place. But still.
