Oh gosh prev, you must have forgotten how Utenanthy started this poll:

The response to Utenanthy being in the early lead was..."TIME FOR VOTER FRAUD FOR UTENANTHY!" I actually don't think I've seen a single pro-Avatrice post advocating for voter fraud, and the Avatrice curve at that point was a very boring curve. How are you going to complain when your fandom openly used and encouraged voter fraud to "massively ratio warrior nun by 70% to 30%" and you still ended up behind? If you preemptively start using voter fraud to win...and then the other side (allegedly) uses voter fraud to defend themselves...I hate to break it to you, but you don't get the moral high ground just because the other side takes the lead.

Shenanigans prompt: AvaLil, can't stop fantasizing (I'm imagining this as a sequel to drama club, but it's your show, whatever you want to do with it)

okay so: i sketched out #2 first (bc i misread "drama club" as "at the club") but then i was like, this isn't like sexual *tension* so i wrote #1 as well and idk?? i guess the takeaway is that there's always more to learn when it comes to writing lol - thanks for helping me stretch and practice!

Of all the instructors and directors Lilith has worked with over the years at this school, she considers Mary one of the best. But at this very moment, Lilith thinks she's full of shit.

"We're exploring," Lilith mocks in an American accent softly under her breath as she stalks over to the lone arm chair placed stage right.

"Play the scene from across the stage to each other," Mary had instructed with that maddening knowing smile, "Do what you have to in order to change your scene partner."

Lilith drops into the chair with little grace - the closest to a tantrum she'll allow herself - and ignores Mary's chuckle from downstage. Instead, she aims her glare across the way at her scene partner. 

Ava's already leaning against the table on the far side of the stage, hands propped up behind her. Watching with those dark eyes Lilith hasn't stopped thinking about; those lips that curl and pout and grin and shout; the maddeningly bare shoulders, despite the chill of the rehearsal rooms -

Sees Ava shift, pushing out her chest deliberately.

Lilith's eyes narrow. 'Do what you have to, hm?' she thinks as she arranges herself in the chair. 'Two can play that game.'

The lines are easy - the schedule says they're not meant to be off book until the end of the week but Ava had her lines memorized the day after they'd received the script, much to Lilith's grudging admiration. But if there's anything Lilith has learned, it's that the words are only half the story.

Her plan to start out slow, however, are derailed by Ava spreading herself across the table - the friction draws the fabric of her top down ever so slightly. When Lilith's gaze raises to Ava's face, she finds a smirk on Ava's lips; caught.

So Lilith begins her own 'exploration.' She lifts her fingers to her own lips as she speaks, traces the words with her fingertips; watches Ava's gaze sharpen. Lets her fingers trail down her neck and grins when Ava stutters through her next line. Lilith lingers on her own words, times them with loosening the buttons of her shirt; one more; two. She presses her fingertips to the exposed skin, watches Ava's dark gaze follow where they lead.

Wonders how it would feel up close; how Ava's hands would feel instead her own.

"And hold."

Mary's voice chases away the sudden thought of Ava's teeth against her neck, the ghost feel of smaller hands against her chest. Lilith swallows against the dryness in her mouth, holds herself back from shifting at the wet she feels further south.

"How was that?" Mary asks in her 'I'm a serious director tone.'

Lilith is sure she's full of shit. Still: "Informative," she manages to say, not looking at Ava. 

"I kinda like this type of exploring," Ava pipes up from across the stage.

Mary's mouth quirks briefly before she nods. "We can continue then."

Lilith grits her teeth. Full of shit, the both of them.

A week before opening would normally find Lilith locked in the rehearsal rooms, not out with the cast at a club. Lilith had only said yes because she can't stop thinking, needs to get it - get her - out of her system. Realizes quickly that this was the worst thing she could have done because now it goes beyond thinking - now it's seeing: Ava, dancing, bare in a different sense - throat instead of heart, skin on skin instead of thin excuses to lean in close, to drive her mad.

When Ava turns to find her watching, her grin only widens. "Didn't know you could dance," Ava says as she steps in, rests her wrists atop Lilith's shoulders.

Lilith glares, leans in closer than she needs: "We've gone through the same curriculum -"

Ava rolls her eyes. "Not that kind of dancing."

Lilith raises an eyebrow, fits her hands against Ava's waist, her thigh between Ava's. "You mean like this?"

And yes, this is a stage but it's a different one from what they've both they've trained to own. Here the lights aren't on them. There are no lines, no blocking; just swaying hips and bitten lips, splayed hands and sharp gasps. It's finding rhythm; it's making their own.

Ava groans into Lilith's neck - when they got so close, Lilith can't remember, just knows the space between them is now non-existent - grinds down hard onto Lilith's thigh. Lilith hisses in response; she's beyond thinking now.

"Hey, guys sorry," Camila nearly crashes into them, glassy-eyed but with a serious furrow on her brow, "We gotta go - something happened with Yasmine and Mary, come on."

Camila's grip on both their wrists is unrelenting and Lilith spares a helpless glance at Ava, who simply shrugs and follows along. Lilith nearly growls to herself: she's worse off than when she'd started.

One of my favorite little moments in Warrior Nun. The het-bait guy (Michael, yes, Warrior Nun has het-bait not queerbait) is standing off to the right. They're allies and surrounded and Ava is going to blast them out of there, so of course Beatrice tries to get Ava to bring him in, but that would mean Ava would have less than two hands touching Beatrice, so that's not happening. If the choices are "one less hand on Beatrice" or "Michael gets wrecked," Michael can get wrecked.

Never gets old.

To this DAY anytime I see the avatrice kiss scene my heart does the little happy skip, specifically the moment when Ava kisses Bea and she’s all stiff so she starts to pull away and that snaps Bea out of her shock and she pulls Ava back in for a solid kiss like COME ON that moment is everything, and don’t get me started on Ava’s hesitant awe afterword, like she was savoring every fucking millisecond

[alms4oblivion]

Here's a little summary of Warrior Nun for those who are curious.

Quick version: Warrior Nun is a Netflix series about bisexual woman Jesus coming back to life to save the world from a demonic apocalypse with the help of a secret order of black ops nuns. It has some of the best acting, directing, cinematography, stunt work, and characterization of any series I've seen. Minor spoilers below the fold.

The woman on the left is Ava Silva.

The series opens with her resurrection when an otherworldly artifact, the Halo, is shoved in her corpse's back to keep it safe. Prior to her death, Ava was quadriplegic and subject to a decade of abuse at the hands of the nuns who ran the orphanage where she lived. The series follows her struggle with how to use the enormous power of the Halo, and whether she should throw away this second chance at life for a Church that has brought her nothing but pain. Despite everything she has suffered, Ava approaches her second life with an incredible amount of joy and wonder.

The woman on the right is Sister Beatrice.

Beatrice is a lesbian who joined the Church when her wealthy, bigoted British diplomat family cast her out. She requires perfection of herself, does not handle failure well, and frequently takes a lead role in black ops missions. Though she usually conceals her emotions, she finds herself revealing them to Ava as their bond deepens. As this goes on, and as they learn more about the Halo's history, she finds herself more and more in a crisis of faith, with sometimes painful consequences.

Over the course of the series, their relationship goes from "not overtly hostile" to deep friendship, then to something more (yes, there is a canon love confession) as the two of them go into hiding and Beatrice trains Ava to fight and to use the Halo. Beatrice is deeply conflicted about her feelings, but the two of them cannot keep their hands and eyes off each other, even in the midst of combat. Beatrice would burn the world to protect Ava. Ava would die if it meant keeping Beatrice safe.

Their love story weaves through a show that explores themes of faith and science, family and duty, what we owe each other and what it means to sacrifice to protect those we love. Though these two are the core of the show, the ensemble cast is brilliant, and many in the fandom have become equally attached to other Sister Warriors, each suffering their own traumas, and each bringing their own unique skills and personalities to bear to protect the Halo Bearer.

I've watched and loved plenty of shows. I've never seen anything that inspired me like this show did. Never read a fan fic until this show. Never wrote anything until this show.

Poll aside, you should absolutely watch this show if you are able.

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

———

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

Shenanigans prompt - avatrice as queer superheroes, one is out, the other not yet...

hey anon, apologies on the delay here - caught a bit of a cold over the weekend; hopefully this reads alright. decided to lean on a previous shenanigan where Bea is a super and Ava is The Halo...

"Uh oh, we've got a level 5 thinking face. Who do I have to go rough up?"

Beatrice blinks up at Ava, still in costume and hovering next to her on the rooftop that was completely empty just a few moments ago. Or hours, considering the deep darkness of the sky. Beatrice frowns, not used to losing track of time. Then Ava's words catch up to her. "What do you mean level 5?"

"Like yknow," Ava says, flipping onto her side in midair, as if lying on a couch. She's somehow also procured a bag of gummy bears that she offers to Beatrice. Beatrice waves it off, looks at her expectantly. "Like hurricanes and stuff. Your thinking face is intense. Sexy though, don't get me wrong -"

Beatrice rolls her eyes, ignores the brief rush of heat to her cheeks. "You're ridiculous."

"And you're running yourself more ragged than any of the fights we had this week. And I dunno about you, but this week was shit." Ava flips over onto her stomach, hovers towards Beatrice until their face to face. "Cmon. Talk to me."

Beatrice sighs. "It's dumb."

"Probably not but I'm still listening."

"It's just -" Beatrice bites at her lip "Pride is coming up." It's hard to ignore, what with all the decorations, all the excitement. It's also why she and Ava have been working so hard lately, to make sure the festivities are exactly that: festive, joyful; safe.

"Yeah! Cam said she's got my new cape with the rainbow lining ready. I'm so excited to wear it," Ava all but squeals, wiggling still in midair.

"I'm excited to see it," Beatrice says - and she's telling the truth, she is.

Ava touches down quietly. Takes Beatrice's hand. "But?"

A deep breath shudders out of Beatrice. Followed by a tremulous want: "I just wish I could do something like that too."

The words hang in the night air, held in the quiet space between them. There's so much Beatrice wishes she could do, that she could be. She can do all the super things - fly faster than the speed of sound, leap tall buildings in a single bound - but when it comes to being normal; when it comes to being simply Beatrice -

"You can, Bea." Ava wraps Beatrice's hand with both of hers, surrounding it in warmth. "But only if you want to."

"But -"

"No buts." Ava's voice is firm. "There's no duty in this. It has to be for you first." She tugs gently on Beatrice's hand and brings her in close; cradles Beatrice's head against her shoulder. "We have time, Bea. There's no rush. And when you're ready, I know a certain journalist who can write one hell of a coming out story. I should know: she wrote mine."

Beatrice laughs softly into the curve of Ava's neck. Presses a light kiss there. "Thank you, Ava." For loving me as I am.
