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—”

Or,
Beatrice is an alien researcher looking for information on earth. Ava, as it turns out, has a lot to teach her.

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
“Agatha,” she said, “Are you referring to any rule in particular?”
“I read the book. We’re supposed to conceive a baby, generally. And tonight, more specifically.”
Rio’s face twisted into a familiar, constipated look. “I think I need to sit down.”
Or,
On the first night of an arranged marriage, two childhood best friends blunder through the question of whether to make good on a religious obligation to conceive a child.

Summary
Alicent Hightower was not a son.
She was a daughter meant for quiet obedience, for duty sewn into silks and prayers whispered in empty halls. She was meant to be traded, to watch as men shaped the world while she stood in the background, unseen. But grief had made her restless. The weight of her name felt heavier than armor, so she took both.
Rhaenyra Targaryen was not a queen.
She was a first-born daughter, raised in the shadow of a twin brother who would always come first. A girl expected to smile as lords weighed her worth in marriage pacts and duty-bound chains. But the fire in her blood did not bend.

Summary
For six years, the world has watched A-list actress Beatrice Young and Ava Silva, the wild child of Arq-Tech, fall in and out of love. Their sweet gestures break the internet. Their sudden separations and fights break hearts everywhere. But it's all fake.
Beatrice has perfected the art of Beatrice Young, her public persona. Beatrice Young is a woman of colour who has managed to stay relevant despite the double standards she faces in Hollywood. Whenever public discourse threatens to shift on her, she calls in Ava Silva, with her charming rebellious attitude, for a staged date. Each adorable display of public affection puts Beatrice back in the public's good graces just in time for her latest role, while Ava uses Beatrice's straight-laced character to distract the board at Arq-Tech from her own public mishaps.
Beatrice doesn't have time to date, and keeps her industry friends far away from her family. She knows a real relationship with Ava would lead to nothing but trouble, but when a family emergency forces Beatrice to take Ava home to her grandparents, she has to reckon with the truth of their ruse.

Summary
The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.
Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

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
“I made a list!” Ava trills.
“A list.”
“Yeah!” Oh no. Ava’s grin is wicked. “Of all the things that turn me on when I’m with a boy.”
Jesus Christ. Good thing Beatrice lowered that bottle.
“Care to explain?” she groans.
“I call it the to do list. I figured if I do all of this stuff with a girl and I get turned on, it means I’m also into girls.”- Language:

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.
