...ava spinning into a backhand she knows bea can block but she’s (un)holy. she’s faster, almost, than light or the disappearance of it.

blunt sound of knuckle striking flesh and bea stumbling back with a split lip dribbling blood down her chin.

the light sucking back inside ava in the blink of an eye, bright shadow-spots in her wake and beatrice stares at her.

ava’s eyes are wide, dark as unlit candles, meeting hers and she’s rushing forward. bea dizzy-drunk in her hands as they take her by the jaw and she feels something pour into her - the split lip sealing shut with a dash of halolight and ava pursuing it with a kiss. with “sorry, i’m sorry”...

prompt: black strapon bealil

I am not immune to you twisting my arm I guess. nsfw-ish, not explicit

//

Lilith tugs Beatrice closer by the front of her - Shannon's - Mary's - whoever's hoodie, fists her hands in the pocket and presses down until Beatrice bends to kiss her. She draws back slightly before Beatrice's mouth can meet hers. "Go put it on."

"Are you sure?"

"We decided on it together, didn't we?" Beatrice's cheeks are just as red as they had in the shop that afternoon, the colour blooming all the way up to her temples, down to her collarbones. "You really going to back out now, Williams?"

"No!" Beatrice seems startled by her own vehemence, her second "no" coming softer. She ducks her chin, her eyes darting to the side as her cheeks trend towards scarlet. "I just don't know that I'll be any good at it."

"You say that as though I have any more experience than you. As though we haven't been in lockstep this whole time." She slips her hands up beneath the hem of Beatrice's hoodie, hooks her fingers in the waistband of her boxers. Beatrice covers Lilith's hands with her own, presses firmly against them, and Lilith exhales softly. "If you don't want to try it tonight, darling, then we won't try it tonight."

"I do want to try." She steps back, the band snapping against her abs as Lilith's fingers slip free. "I haven't been able to think about anything else all day," she admits in a rush, then gestures back over her shoulder. "I'm going to..."

"Take your time, love."

The wait is agonizing. What had once been a comfortable sprawl begins sending pins and needles down Lilith's leg and she shifts from posture to posture without respite. She's been caught up in the image all day as well, ever since Beatrice had tangled her fingers shyly in the dark leather of the harness and stroked her thumb across it, nodded her approval at the feel of it against her skin.

Any amount of daydreaming couldn't have prepared her for Beatrice emerging hesitantly from the hall, hoodie and boxers discarded to leave her bare but for that harness. The dark straps cut a sharp contrast to pale skin that spent most of the summer obscured by chino shorts and rowing trou.

Beatrice halts in front of her, just out of reach, and stands tall under the scrutiny, though her gaze is fixed somewhere beyond Lilith's shoulder. Lilith stares unabashedly, drinking in the flex of muscle as Bea shifts minutely from foot to foot, the measured rise and fall of her chest, the dark strap-on hanging between her legs.

Lilith had been the one to choose the strap, after Beatrice's ears had gone bright red when she'd been pressed about the type of base she might want and she'd mumbled something incomprehensible. She'd curled her fingers around cock after cock, held eye contact with Beatrice as she imagined how each might feel inside her. The stretch, the pleasant ache, the all-too-practiced roll of Beatrice's hips. She'd selected the first that had made Beatrice's tongue dart out to wet her lips, had stepped towards Beatrice and dipped her mouth to Beatrice's ear. Had whispered "can't wait" or something equally as inane, something she can't quite remember because it had been lost in the wake of Beatrice gathering up her courage and responding in turn, "go with the black one."

She'd been correct, of course. She's always so infuriatingly correct. It hangs there like a eucharist - and if the nuns at St. Mary's could see them now, they'd surely-

"It looks absurd, doesn't it." Beatrice sighs, breaking Lilith's reverie. "It must; it feels absurd."

"What?" Lilith scrambles to right herself, reaches a hand out to Beatrice. "No. Well, no more absurd than you usually look, seeing as you have about fifteen different tan lines right now."

"I do not," Beatrice squawks.

Lilith takes her wrist and advantage of her disgruntlement and draws her closer. "You do, though." She traces her fingertips up the length of Beatrice's arm. "UV long sleeve, watch, rolled shirt sleeves, t-shirt." She rolls over the point of Beatrice's shoulder, rattles off "tank top, unisuit top, bikini top" as her fingers follow the dip and roll of Beatrice's collarbone.

"Enough, enough, I understand your point." Beatrice rolls her eyes and Lilith catches a pert nipple between her thumb and forefinger and tweaks it. Beatrice exhales shakily, her abs rippling with the effort to keep herself upright and contained.

"But I hadn't even gotten to the good bit yet," Lilith murmurs, pressing a conciliatory kiss to the angle of Beatrice's jaw.

"The burn I got the one time I wore bikini bottoms?"

"No, darling, your stupid little sunglasses tan. You look like a raccoon."

Beatrice groans, but the tension has seeped from her limbs and she stands between Lilith's legs with a cocksure steadiness. "Thank you," she says suddenly, reaching to tuck a loose strand of hair back behind Lilith's ear.

"For calling you a raccoon?" Beatrice flicks her earlobe and Lilith laughs. "Anything to make you feel comfortable."

"Sap."

"For you?" The admission catches in Lilith's throat, as it always does, but she forges ahead anyway. "Always."

top five fun facts you know!

In no particular order (and pls remember english is not my first language):

-microwaves, fridges, and dental hygiene are part of the reason so many people need to have their wisdom teeth pulled out nowadays! Some 200 years ago, going all the way back, food would often get hard or chewy or otherwise tough and teeth would erode over time on it so having another set of teeth come in later in life was useful. Now people eat processed foods and dont have multiple teeth rot and fall out so there's just no room in the mouth for the wisdom teeth anymore.

-mexico's full name is united mexican states, so technically a mexican can say they're american, north american, or from the united states and be right even if they've never stepped foot outside their country (mexico)

-the way xrays work (simplified) is by passing through something and burning (blackening) the film, which means soft tissues and other things that dont show up on xrays are called radio lucid, and they make the black part of an xray, while things like bones or metal block the xrays from burning the film, so the white and bright parts of an xray are radio opaque, which sounds a bit counter intuitive without context.

-turns out pepto bismol is sometimes used during a surgery to slow down bleeding so the bleed can be located and then sewn shut. A gauze soaked in pepto used to wipe down the area stops the bleeding for a moment and allows surgeons to fix it, but it's a very diy and 'old remedy' kind of thing

-the animal 'black panther' doesnt technically exist, in the sense that there is no one animal called black panther. 'Panthera' is the animal genus where lions, tigers, jaguars leopards, and snow leopards are classified, so technically those five are all panthers (and incidentally are the only 5 felines capable of roaring), so a black panther, in the american continent, is a hyper melanistic (black) jaguar (the only one of the list native to america), and elswhere in the world, a black panther is typically a hyper melanistic leopard. Meaning bagheera from jungle book is a leopard. A 'black panther' can be born of regular jaguars or leopards, and can have cubs that are regular jaguars or leopards.

19,4 & 3 for the ask meme?

apologies for this being slightly late, was consumed by the horrors, literally (terraria) and metaphorically (exam week and shit tumblr formatting), but mainly the terraria and tumblr bit

19. the veggie you dislike the most

love most vegetables, but a lot of stringy vegetables. the taste just isn’t worth it for the pressure they put on my teeth, i fear 😔. after that, raw garlic specifically. cooked garlic is cool and i love it in foods, but raw garlic by itself or on the skin are both utterly horrid

4. mythical creature you think/believe is real?

really depends on the day, but demons and ghosts tbh. partially the lingering effects of growing up religious and believing that All This Stuff is Real actually, for most of my life

and partially i think there’s too many weird things in life, both explained and unexplained, to just rule them out as not being real entirely. also if they exist, there’s probably some scientific reason i think. science often appears to be magic and all that

3. a specific color that gives you the ick?

idk the exact name for it, but i think it’s called hot and/or neon purple. hated it since i was a child, still hate it. gives me the sensory horros just looking at it

top five tv shows?

Hello my friend :)

I don’t think you understand how hard I had to think about this. Every single tv show flew out of my head the second I read this. I’m going to leave Warrior Nun out of this list, because we all know it would be the first. Anyways, you may enjoy some of these.

1. Penny Dreadful (2014-2016). This is the original one, not the sequel which was interesting to say the least. It’s got your traditional gothic characters of Dracula, Frankenstein and monster, among other things all set in the backdrop of late Victorian era London. Now, there’s some pretty heavy body horror going on in it. However, cinematically stunning and it’s got Eva Green and Josh Hartnett in it.

2. Dark Winds (2022-). I recently started this series and I’ve been enjoying it so far. It’s set in the 1970s on the Diné reservation, following tribal police after a series of murders. It’s very much a psychological thriller, and it does delve into indigenous issues.

3. Midnight Mass (2019). This show has held me in a death grip since I initially binged it. Catholicism and the supernatural, it’s my kind of show. We even got vampires and Catholic guilt. Amazing cast, storyline, and soundtrack. It’s the type of horror that I adore. If you haven’t seen it, you need to.

4. The Legend of Vox Machina (2022-). The animated version of Critical Role’s campaign one. Even though I knew the arcs, it gets me every time. I will never not love these characters and this story. Y’all should check it out, you don’t even have to have seen anything Critical Role.

5. Westworld (2016-2022). I was a little apprehensive about this show due to its hype, but it’s certainly worth it. I could talk about this for hours but, I’ll try to keep it short. The concept is so cool, and how the storylines interweaves with each other. The horror of self awareness detailed throughout these characters. I appreciate the inner story switch in the later seasons.

#hopefully this is coherent #it was a lot of me pulling up my previous watched shows #and then remembering my favorites #I highly recommend them all #thank you!! #daisychainsandbowties #asks

for ask meme!

1, 12, 31, 43, & 46

1. who is/are your comfort character(s)?

answered here!!

12. what kind of day is it?

hmm...not sure yet. im hoping it's gonna be a productive day but my usual schedule got disrupted waaay early in the morning so i'm feeling out-of-sorts at the moment, which...impedes my workflow. hoping the day smooths out a little from here

31. what type of music keeps you grounded?

quiet songs and songs that aren't that energetic. most often than not includes acoustic guitar. those kinds of songs are just calm enough to centre me; the sounds are mellow and layered but not too dense. i've a few songs and albums that i rotate through, and i know i've been grounded for long enough when i start to crave for more sharpness, more chaos, and a faster tempo. an example of a grounding song: Crowded Table by The Highwomen. example of the post-grounding craving: Let's Dance to Joy Division by The Wombats

43. what’s your take on spicy foods?

answered here!

46. favorite holiday film?

ohh!!! not a film, but i do watch Over the Garden Wall every thanksgiving with my roommate!! we usually plan a meal for the two of us and make a lunch of it, then afterwards we watch the whole thing in the afternoon :) w/ good food + mulled wine, it's a definite great way to spend the day.

[littledata]

what are these "best fics youve ever read that barely have any hits" you mentioned? can you give us a top 5 or sonething?

Oh God, you've really shamed me here because I read a LOT of random fics from fandoms I'm not even part of and the stories I was referring to largely come from there.

However, in the interest of practising what I preach, I sat down today and read a bunch of Warrior Nun fics I'd never read before so I could rec you some. To be totally clear, these aren't necessarily going to have "hardly any hits" but are fics that I think could use more love in general.

In no particular order:

I was seeing black and white (and now I'm living in color) by gayestcatra - 1281 words, a beautifully soft fic set in Switzerland with gorgeous description. By the same author I also enjoyed (your life was) my life's best part, an angsty Mary/Shannon exploring Mary's (heartbreaking) grief after Shannon's death.

Cat’s Cradle security checkpoint logs by @jtl07 - 518 words, have I raved enough on tumblr yet about how much I love their writing? No? Oh okay I'll do it again then. JT is one of my favourite writers in the fandom and I love this series of fics they did giving creative looks into the characters - this particular one is the contents of their bags but the whole series is worth checking out (and everything else they write too, obviously).

Lauds by @sisterdivinium - 3152 words, Mother Superion/Jillian Salvius. WE LOVE A RAREPAIR. Gorgeously written fic where you feel the weight of every single action. The author has a TON of fics if you liked this one too.

you're my best friend (in a world we must defend) by @daisychainsandbowties - 3980 words, avatrice and Pokemon. Beatrice's characterisation in this drives me insane. I MUST know more. If you know nothing about pokemon here's your primer: they're funny little guys you catch and make fight, exactly like the Catholic church did to Ava. There, now you've got no excuse not to read it.

Dead People Don't Shiver by waterintheshadows - 2068 words, avatrice soulmate AU set in a morgue FUCK YEAH. This is the kind of shit I live for. Great concept, great execution.

Where The River Bends by @itchyouchyz - 100,750 words, avatrice 1960s midwife AU. Full disclosure - it's 100k - I haven't finished it yet. But I LOVE what I've read so far, tender and lovely. Check the tags for trigger warnings on this one!

keep me in your mirror (but don't take your eyes off the road) by minutetuna - 26,343 words, avatrice season 2 road trip au. It made me feel this precise emotion: hnnnnnnghhhhh. There is a particular style of writing which is just bouncy and pacy and still draws you into every single emotion and this author has it in spades. LOVE.

This was so much fun! If anyone else wants to hit me up with some recs I'd love to hear them - even if (especially if) they're your fics. It's a long weekend, might as well spend it reading fanfiction.

#warrior nun #avatrice #ava silva #sister beatrice #fic recs #i'm also writing fanfiction update is coming i swear #not really a good rec list just a list of my opinions #i wrote this post as I was reading and you can see me getting steadily more excited by all the awesome fics as I go #asks

[smokestarrules]

Heya!

Got a part 2 for those fic recs?

Also, lemme just slide in this rec as a trade. It made my night ngl

https://archiveofourown.org/works/44415343?page=3&show_comments=true&view_adult=true&view_full_work=true#comments

You're saying you read all of these? Cool. Let me grab some more for you.

First of all, we have luminous beings from @daisychainsandbowties!! Star Wars AU. soooo fucked up in the best way. the chapters leave you half in a daze (and I mean this as a good thing) and the way this author weaves in the bits and pieces of the characters' pasts is absolutely incredible.

Next we have and there it is, a mark of the divine by understreetlights. THIS fic is like taking a warm bath at the end of the day. It's like wrapping yourself in a blanket and sitting by the fireplace. It's like the nicest hug you've ever experienced. It's soft and it's incredible and everyone should read it.

Then there's the gods we can touch by @thecousinsdangereux!! Canon Compliant during the Switzerland Months(TM) turned lowkey fix-it. The entire series that this fic is included in is incredible, but I have a soft spot for this one since it was the first I read. Very soft. Very pining. Very phenomenal.

the life left behind by @littledata. exes to awkward friends to real friends to loves. fantastic vibes, some really good communication, and genuinely just a feel-good fic. Very much recommend. I read the whole thing in one night and had no regrets.

i want to meet you in every place i ever loved by phwaa. this is how you lose the time war AU!!!! HELLO???? if you know anything about that book, you know how insane this fic will be. If you don't know that book, first of all you should read it, and also this fic works as a standalone too. Not-really enemies to lovers. Phenomenal.

And of course, last but not at all least, who needs comfortable love by @the-ominous-owl. Sentient Halo AU. Exactly what it sounds like! Starts from the end of s1 and goes from there with a heavy emphasis on the Switzerland Months. The Halo is alive, and it's got a crush on Beatrice. This fic is fantastic, and everyone should read it.

prompt em consider... dads!shan has big BLÅHAJ and libby has baby blåhaj (in lower case shhhh... he baby) (shan got them matching set ok ok)

& they r like... doing a shark attack on bea & bea is like 'shan!' & then they both get a lecture about 'spreading selachimorpha misinformation'

The living room is in shadow, lit only by the flickering light of the TV. Beatrice, curled on her side on the couch, runs a thumbnail down the seam joining the front and side panel of the seat cushion beneath her head. On-screen, the camera pans across an empty beachfront, a hint of a dark fin slicing through the water. The soundtrack picks up, and Beatrice's breathing rate escalates in time, watching as two small boats capsize, spilling their occupants into the water. The fin parts the waves like a needle through silk, and the hairs stand up on the back of Beatrice's neck.

Something's changed in the air, she thinks, has sent shivers running down her spine as a man treads water, unaware of the imminent danger closing in on him. Her mouth twists ruefully, her fingers encircling the bareness of her left ring finger and squeezing, twisting.

A creak behind her, the shark driving up out of the water in front, something soft and solid launched over the back of the couch and landing on her. A concerted crow of "Shark!" Beatrice shrieks, then coughs, works her hands up beneath plush fabric to cover her face. She groans, and raucous laughter comes in response.

A heavier object rolls over the back of the couch, lands solidly on her stomach, squirming and giggling. Beatrice cracks her eyes open and reaches out to caress the side of Libby's head.

"Gotcha," Libby bubbles, poking Beatrice in the chest with her tiny stuffed shark.

"You got me," Beatrice agrees placidly. She shoves the larger shark away from her face and dips her head to kiss Libby's forehead. "You think of that all on your own?"

Libby shakes her head, tilts it towards the rear of the couch. "Aunt Shan helped."

"Oh, did she now?"

"Mhmm."

Beatrice taps Libby on the nose. "Your Aunt Shannon should know better than selachimorpha misinformation."

Shannon rises from behind the couch, twisting and turning until her back gives an unsettling crack. "Your Aunt Shannon can't even pronounce seal-chimp misinformation," she replies, ruffling Libby's hair. "And," she continues, turning to Beatrice, "I'm not the one watching the movie that completely altered public perception and fear of sharks."

"I just needed to make my brain stop for a bit," Beatrice sighs, sitting up out of the way as Shannon vaults over the back of the couch and reaches across her for the remote.

"Baba, what's seal-chimp misinfo'mation?"

"Selachimorpha," Beatrice corrects gently, pulling her blanket back around her shoulders. "Selachimorpha misinformation. People telling hurtful lies about sharks." She glances up at the screen as title cards rush past. "Shan, can you look for that BBC show? I can't remember what it's called."

"Shark?"

"Yes, the one about sharks."

"No, I mean it's literally called 'Shark'." She grabs up her shark plush again and presses its snout to Beatrice's cheek. "On it, kiddo."

Meowth, that's right!

7. What animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

Sharks sharks sharks!!! I have a vivid memory of visiting an aquarium after a real rough day and making a deep connection with a shark. We didn't look away from each other for what felt like an eternity collapsed within just a few seconds. Anyway, I sat there for an hour.

15. Rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning.

Depends on if it's my death or someone else's. Let's go with drowning, freezing, burning.

16. Thoughts on mint chocolate chip?

I don't have it often but it's tasty! The lovely texture the chocolate chips provide hell yeah boiiiiii
