The day Shannon becomes the Warrior Nun they sit in her room and she promises Mary that nothing will change, that she is not that special, that she will love just the same as before. Because Mary understands the weight of purpose, the burden of leadership, the importance of their mission. That day, Mary is ready to take back her bleeding heart and pretend nothing ever happened. She can let it all go for Shannon. But Shannon was always the wise one, the determined one.

Shannon says the words they both want to hear. "I love you. The Halo doesn't – can't – change that."

But Mary doesn't let herself believe that's possible. “Shouldn’t you be setting an example for the Sisters?”

“I am,” Shannon takes Mary’s hand in hers, runs her thumbs across the palm. “I’m showing them that their leader isn’t a statue, that she has feelings and flaws like the rest of them. I’m showing them that the Warrior Nun is not infallible, or untouchable, or perfect. I am not their saviour, and they are not my servants.”

“What about me?”

“You’re special.”

And Mary can’t help but smile at that, because she knows that when Shannon calls her special, it’s not the same as Father Vincent or Mother Superion. Father Vincent likes that Mary is a bit outside the chain of command, that she doesn’t always let the rules get in the way of getting the job done. Mother Superion disapproves for all the same reasons.

But Shannon truly is special. Shannon always knows just what to say, how to get the most out of her people. And Mary knows that is a necessary skill, both in the training hall and in the field, but she trusts Shannon. Because Shannon is exactly the same even when no one is watching. And Shannon will say that God is always watching, but Mary has met far too many people for whom that was meaningless.

"Thank you," she says, getting up off the bed.

And it's Shannon's hand on her wrist that stops her. "Nothing's changed, remember?"

When Ava realized she was in love with her best friend she knew what she had to do so she decided to be the bigger person and confess her undying love for her best friend. Happy ending right? Wrong... Beatrice is a dumbass and doesn't realize that Ava meant "I'm in love with you" and not "I'm in love with you (as a friend)"

 Or Beatrice makes Ava confess twice cause she didn't quite get it the first time

Beatrice thinks there's no need for a bodyguard. She's an author, not some big-name celebrity or towering politician.

Then she remembers who her parents are.

And while she decides she much likes her house to be filled with a total of 2 creatures (her and her dog), she'll settle with a few more, just to appease her mother before she gets her head blown off.

She just doesn't expect to fall in love along the way.

-OR-

Never shoot your gun without first locking it in place.

Beatrice was dragged to the altar of Catholicism. She did not easily go to her knees, but was nonetheless cowed before it. She learned guilt, and let it bite at her heels. With every step she understood and regretted each she had taken out of line.

She regretted who she loved. She regretted who she was.

Shannon had insisted she was wrong. "The God I believe in wouldn't damn you for who and how you love," Shannon had told her. But now Shannon was gone. All that remained was her duty to the Halo. All that remained was Ava.

In crisis, Beatrice finds herself kneeling at a different altar entirely.
