chapter summary: Epilogue - Bea
Amsterdam is beautiful.
The bells of a nearby clocktower ring out, and the off-kilter melody they produce makes Bea smile. She leans forward, resting her weight on her elbows as she stands on the bridge, the wooden railing probably leaving indents in her forearms. She’s been waiting a while, has heard the bells chime out at least twice while watching boats drift lazily through the canal below.
full fic summary:
Three months after Ava disappears into the portal, Beatrice still can’t let her go. She’ll do anything to bring Ava back. But when she manages to succeed, the question is what else has Ava brought back with her? or Ava comes back wrong

I started writing this a year ago today (well, yesterday but it was after midnight for the most part, so it counts), which is just wild to me.
I've never written anything like it and am pretty proud at how it all turned out (in that I genuinely didn't think I had it in me to write a long plot-driven fic).
What a wild few months this was <3
