#avatrice firefighter au

[sapphicstacks]

“When— when you look at me like that… what does it mean?”

Ava furrowed her brows. “I have a look?”

The pink on Bea’s face spread down her neck and over her ears. She looked so beautiful that Ava couldn’t help but stare, enraptured. “Yeah, sometimes you— you’re doing it right now.”

Oh. Apparently, Ava had her own look of something.

Ava smiled softly, lovesick and hopeful that this shower would never end. “It’s love, Bea. I think you’re seeing love.”

Beatrice ducked her head as if she was briefly embarrassed. “Oh.”

Ava took the opportunity to press up onto her tiptoes and gently kiss Beatrice’s forehead. “What is it?” She mumbled against the wet skin.

“Has it always meant that?”

“I think so.”

Beatrice lifted her head again to make eye contact with Ava. “Does that mean… you’ve loved me for a long time?”

[saunteringvaguelydownwards]

thank you for answering the required reading ask with such care !! did you happen to think of any more about warrior nun ? also i was surprised to not see any supergirl ones as there’s such a high number of fics there ! (i think i remember feeling such a feeling about a supergirl fic, sunlit honey and lavender sunsets by wtfoctagon)

I haven't heard of that one, but like you said, there are SO many SuperCorp fics. (About 20% of my AO3 bookmarks are Supercorp). I am adding to my list though.

Here's a couple SuperCorp and a couple Avatrice.

🕷️ (Asker's Choice)

SG - i believe, you can get me through the night/i believe, we can reach the morning light by @jazzfordshire 1960s AU where Kara is a repressed housewife trapped in her marriage, and Lena the hip bohemian swinger moves in next door. Cue the pining. So much pining. OMG, the pining could fill Green Mountain National Forest. The first fic is from Kara's POV and the second is from Lena's POV. I read both of these back to back and then the next day I read the first one again now that I knew Lena's POV.

~

SG - To Make It Count/Making It Count by @jazzfordshire Back at it again with the Queen of AUs. I don't think I need to say much besides this is a Titanic AU, except everyone's gay and nobody dies. Well, some people die, but no one we care about. Not really a spoiler, since it's literally in the tags. The sequel is all of them living in New York and dealing with WWI, the Great Depression, all that fun early 20th century stuff, but like, in a non-depressing, lesbionic way. There's also background Sanvers in both.

~

WN - choose the devil I know (over the heaven i don't) by @sapphicstacks Avatrice firefighter AU. What if they had a FWB arrangement, but, like barely spoke to each other because Bea is so traumatized by her past and Ava doesn't want to rock the boat. What I said earlier about Avatrice having all the healthy communication in the actress AU? This is the "holy fucking shit just talk to each other!" flipside. Action, hurt/comfort, drama, trauma, mutual pining, so much smut…

~

WN - I (Really) Do by @theycallmequeerhat Modern no powers AU. Bea hasn't spoken to her family in 13 years, but her brother is getting married, he wants her to come and bring her girlfriend, and say heck off to their parents. Problem is she doesn't have a girlfriend. So she decides to ask Ava, the girl she's had a crush on for almost a year, to come to London with her and pretend to be her gf for the wedding. Trope-a-palooza! Mutual pining (I'm sensing a theme in my recs...) fake dating, only one bed, and some really good smut. Also there's a WiP "sequel" that's Ava's POV of the whole thing.

[sapphicagenda]

Starter Fic Recs for Avatrice! (I'm quite certain I've forgotten many great ones so please reblog and add!)

To keep the list (somewhat) manageable, these are all completed :-)

Cannon (and adjacent)!

who needs comfortable love by the_ominous_owl

Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

Ava and Bea hook up in Switzerland and everything is a mess because of it.

Snapshots for the future (Series) by puppybusby 

Awesome post-Season 1 story line

Ruth 1:16-17 by TheSapphicAgenda (shameless plug)

“Returning to the matter at hand…” Bea cupped Ava’s cheek and looked deep into her chocolate eyes. “What I’m going to do next is undress you. And I am going to worship every inch of your body. And I’m going to take care of you.”

Ava swallowed.

“Does that sound good?”

“Yeah, Bea.” Ava’s voice came out thick with desire. “It does.”

or

Ava is back and Bea is going to make sure she knows how loved she is...

What If I Told You I’m A Mastermind? by sapphicstacks

Beatrice Lin-Watson, an extremely private famous actress, is cast as the lead role in a new film opposite a largely unknown new actress, Ava Silva.

choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) by sapphicstacks

An Avatrice Firefighter AU

of greater marvels yet to be by seabiscuit

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.

pull back the curtain for venus by seabiscuit

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

Love Thy Neighbour by puppybusby 

Delightful slow burn neighbours AU with lots of pinning

leave the light on (i'll find my way home) by snowandwolves

The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.

She frowns.

The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.

Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?

I just finished Warrior Nun and this fandom seems absolutely kickass where do I sign up?

[sapphicstacks]

Ava is not in love with Lieutenant Beatrice Lin-Watson of Golden Fire Department Station 3. She is not. But, if she was (which she’s not), she thinks it would be understandable.

Forgivable, even.

She just thinks that people must fall in love with Beatrice all the time. How could you not, you know? When Bea holds your hand, she very gently rubs her thumb over your knuckles. When the nurses come in to give you pain medicine, she asks them to whisper before you can even flinch at the noise. When she has to go to the bathroom, she asks a nurse to stay with you while she’s gone, even though she thinks you’re asleep.

So, yeah. Maybe Ava isn’t in love with Beatrice (seriously, okay, she isn’t, and there is no need to read into the fact that she has to constantly remind herself that she isn’t), but it would be understandable if she were. But she’s not.

Chapter 5 con’t on AO3 of choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t)

[sapphicstacks]

They didn’t have sex that night. They did something infinitely more intimate. While watching a movie with the rest of the shift, Ava and Beatrice sat pressed together. It was out of necessity, or that’s what Ava would have told anyone who questioned them because they shared a smallish couch with Camila and Yasmine.

Except Beatrice’s body was warm, and the room was dark, and her shoulder was surprisingly soft. So Ava might have fallen asleep with her head on Bea’s shoulder less than five minutes into The Breakfast Club — it was Yasmine’s choice.

Ava woke up hours later with her head still on Beatrice’s shoulder and the Lieutenant sitting motionless alone in a dark, silent TV room. Everyone else had gone to bed long before.

Chapter 12 of choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) on AO3 now.

[sapphicstacks]

“There you are,” Ava smiled softly. Her heart settled slightly when Beatrice softened, too. The fear and grief in her eyes were starting to ease, though regret was growing to fill the space.

chapter 16 of choose the devil i know (over the heaven I don’t) on ao3 now

[sapphicstacks]

the way this chapter just keeps getting longer and longer 🫠🫠🫠

anyway— posting now that there will be a new firefighter au chapter up at some point in the next twelve hours so i don’t give up on it 😂

[sapphicstacks]

Ava was in love with Lieutenant Beatrice Lin-Watson of Golden Fire Department Station 3. She was. It was understandable— forgivable— that she was.

How could she not be? When Bea finally put words to this thing between them, tears of joy rose in her eyes. When Beatrice smiled softly, contented and accepting as the words left her mouth, her cheeks turned a beautiful shade of pink. When she should be doing her job but is instead hiding in an Engine with you confessing her love, she squeezes your hand softly and breathes as if it was her very first breath. When Beatrice tells you that she loves you, the golden reflection of her eyes makes you feel like the richest person in the world.

So, yeah. Ava was in love with Beatrice. And the fact that she could openly admit that now was the greatest thing to ever happen to her.

chapter 14 of choose the devil i know (over the heaven i don’t) on AO3 now

[sapphicstacks]

Ava wanted to hold onto this beautiful time for as long as possible. They had just admitted they were in love. Beatrice was softly nodding along to the radio while she held Ava’s knee on the car ride to pick up Maggie after work.

Her eyes looked lighter. Her lips lifted easier.

When they picked up Maggie from daycare, the dog sprinted in Beatrice’s direction as she always does, but instead of pulling back and telling Maggie to sit— Beatrice let the border collie bowl her over. Bea laughed louder than Ava had ever heard her laugh before as Maggie sniffed and licked her face.

Ava couldn’t help but lose herself in the laughter that bubbled up at the sight. Giggles which caught the attention of Maggie, who bounded over to Ava in the lobby of the daycare with equal excitement to what she had given Bea just moments ago. While Ava excitedly greeted the dog, she could see Beatrice in her periphery— staring and smiling, teeth and all.

Eventually, when they got enough energy out of Maggie’s system to walk her to the car, Beatrice silently scooped up Ava’s hand as they walked through the parking lot. Before they had even pulled out of the spot, Beatrice turned to Ava and asked, “Do you want to make pizza?”

chapter 15 of choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) on ao3 now.

[sapphicstacks]

“What took you so long?”

A question Ava, Bea, and this author have been asked lately.

choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) back with chapter 11 on ao3 now 😉

[sapphicstacks]

Here’s the thing about Beatrice’s admission.

Ava had heard it. Of course, she had.

And it was an admission that was terrifying. Or it should have been terrifying— would have been terrifying if it had come from anyone but Beatrice.

chapter 13 of choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) on AO3 now

[sapphicstacks]

The chapter in which Ava has a totally normal morning at the station. Chapter 9 of choose the devil I know (over the heaven I don’t) on AO3 here.

[sapphicstacks]

Roses are non-toxic to dogs. Ava learned that today while frantically googling, standing in the middle of a florist shop a few blocks from her and Michael’s apartment. She had no idea it was there. Ava might have signed up for a punch card (buy ten bouquets, and the eleventh is free). It might be a step too far, but Ava was operating on pure adrenaline and wasn’t really thinking. Man, would Camila be proud or what?

Ch. 10 cont. on AO3

[sapphicstacks]

Ava hasn’t had an orgasm in a month. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is probably not that big of a deal, but it’s getting pretty fucking annoying. Since that day with Beatrice in the Tributary bathroom, Ava hasn’t been able to make herself come.

And not from lack of trying.

Okay, fine, there were two weeks in there where Ava was in so much pain that she had absolutely no interest in masturbation, but now? It’s becoming a bit of a problem.

She’s tried everything. Her hand, her vibrator, a dildo. She even went out and bought a new vibrator just to see if a different shape or speed would finally get her over the edge. She’s tried any and every position she could possibly masturbate in— twice. She’s watched porn, she’s read smut, and she’s fantasized about things that she’s never once even considered as something she would be interested in.

The most annoying part of it is that it genuinely feels good. It’s not like she isn’t getting aroused. Ava knows how to make herself feel good, and it’s working. The problem is that she can’t bring herself over the edge. Her orgasm is always perpetually out of reach.

Her vibrator dies, or her hand cramps, or she gets overstimulated before she can get anywhere near the finish. And it's not like Ava has a particularly hard time getting herself to come. She’s faster with someone else (really fast with Beatrice) and consistent on her own.

Except for this past month. It’s becoming a genuine problem. Ava has been actively edging herself multiple times a day, so even when she’s not masturbating, she’s thinking about it. She’s turned on— constantly. Which is not ideal most days, but it’s really fucking bad today.

Because today is Beatrice’s first day back at the station.
