My English teacher once asked in class what the word “hoof” meant in French, and I couldn’t remember the name. So I gesticulated and gesticulated and panicked cause I knew this word from reading Xena fan fiction and my mouth came up with “The horse’s shoes!”
Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.

Avatrice wonders I am just starting to uncover.
I feel your compliments likе bullets on skinSimplyKorraglolet me photograph you in this light (in case this is the last time)SimplyKorraI 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.
4. On the light and fun side https://archiveofourown.org/works/25526881 They were roommates by writerofwrongs
5. How can I read these half holding my breath hold panting, how! https://archiveofourown.org/works/25242124  heretics by ambassador319

12. A little bit of rivalry, a little bit of sparring, a little bit of jealousy, the zest of life you drive me crazy (its a beautiful ride) by pinkfingernails  https://archiveofourown.org/works/43248726/chapters/108706482

I never want this story to end.
14. This one is... I’m hesitating adding this one to the list. Maybe I should not.  Let’s preface it with everyone has kinks. I don’t kink shame. This works for me. WARNING: A. Intersex Ava. B. Tags are here for a reason, if A hasn’t deterred you, please mind them.  https://archiveofourown.org/works/42758181 Sinful Thoughts by ChocolateCookieCream
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  https://archiveofourown.org/works/43465140#main baby i got a plan (run away fast as you can) by gilligankane

23. “How utterly humiliating to be unmade by kindness. How utterly unworthy.” This encompasses the Ava-Beatrice relationship so devastatingly well. From:  in her careful hands by unicyclehippo https://archiveofourown.org/works/43156620/chapters/108462321#workskin
24. Watching these two women set themselves aflame for the other is grandiose https://archiveofourown.org/works/41061963/chapters/102917067 Because of You by NinesRadScreenname
(Beatrice would so stitch up her own scars.)
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.

This one holds a special place for me.
.... Is maybe all you need to know. I will still write the follow up, probably for my own self. My hedonism requires it. There is depth and then, there is this feeling of, there is more here than meets the eyes. Little shimmering gems neatly placed under, between, amongst certain words, judiciously picked to be found upon later reminiscence of earlier chapters, that leave me wondering, toying around the infamous “what ifs”, and free fall trusting the author is weaving their vision of this complex, beautiful tapestry, that demands to exist, to cover, to stretch out. to be shared. to be admired. A plethora of delicious tropes (Found Family appreciator, sign up!), of simmering tension (I’ll take the slow burn directly into my veins, thank you) a true to life character who lives and thrives With and not despite the current capacities of their body (knowing trauma, seeing trauma, current happiness or future happiness not eliminating any suffering, suffering not precluding one self from experiencing happiness again, being allowed to love what one had, and love what one has now, and those things not needing to be at odds with each other, it’s -inhales- desperately needed lovely). I have as much ravenous curiosity for this venture as Ava does life, as Beatrice does Ava. As Ava does Bea.
