Avatrice wonders I am just starting to uncover.
I will edit and add fan fiction links as I make my way through AO3′s Warrior Nun works. I don’t mind if no one cares, I’m frankly doing this for myself (I like proper lists and going back to works I enjoyed). I hope I don’t bother anyone by tagging this, but if it does, please let me know. Infringing into spaces this doesn’t belong in exists in opposition with the goal of this list.
To each and every writer: From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
1. Standing in a summer haze (are we gonna be okay?) by Galaxiez in particular is so good to me: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26469691/chapters/64498696 Impeccable characterization.
and Galaxiez has more works for me to devour after this one: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Galaxiez/pseuds/Galaxiez/works?fandom_id=44157922
2. Such as: (It’s you) you’re the one that makes me feel right by Galaxiez https://archiveofourown.org/works/26383741 So fucking good!
3. Exceptional writer, rendering an exception work of art: Precious Imperfections by DangersUntoldHardshipsUnnumbered will hold you in a chokehold Beatrice herself would be proud of: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28003827/chapters/68594997 panting, delicious squirming and *gulps* ahead
Part 2 https://archiveofourown.org/works/28281531 is a Christmas-must.
and Part 3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/28369491 is the masterpiece of denouements. Is there anything more beautiful than two artists making love to each other through their art.

15. They are So touch-starved and I’m living for it. This (for now?) 6 parters series is soft and funny and delightful and over-stimulates all my sense in the most artful of ways. You will taste the tension, it is so thick. Bring 5 fan machines, you’ll need them. And the writing will ravage you. An overflow of talent. A masterful collaboration:
https://archiveofourown.org/series/3221859 happiness is a warm nun by
Care, heartshapedcandy, lescousinsdangereux, lightsaroundyourvanity, mermaiddrunk, nirav
Did I say it was clever? It is so clever.
16. “She’s not the same Beatrice she used to be. She’s new . She’s made up of different parts now. There’s life Before Ava and there was life During Ava and there will someday be life After Ava. She’s staring into each of those periods of her life with different faces.”
When it comes to favorite authors, it is a blessing that I get to meet mine in yet another fandom

23. “How utterly humiliating to be unmade by kindness.
How utterly unworthy.” This encompasses the Ava-Beatrice relationship so devastatingly well.

25. “I’d still pick you.”
Is that a second blessing we get ? But yes it is !
No one quite writes characters in mundane settings, accomplishing day-to-day activities, as fluidly and satisfactorily than this author does.
As always, impeccable characterization, genial idea, witty repartee, tension filled… Domesticity never looked so good. If you feel like reading a fanfic that spells in each word silent I love yous:
