Summary:
A plan. She has a plan. Which is crazy to think, considering she spent most of her past lives stabbing first and asking questions later, but Ava changed all of that. Ava forced her to look forward more than a day, to make lists about the life she wanted to have with her, to organize her thoughts before they came out of her mouth.
If she had just listened to Ava’s plan, maybe things would have been different. Maybe her future wouldn’t have blinked out of existence right in front of her.
But, Sara thinks, what’s worse than anything is if she’d never met Ava at all. What’s worse than anything is that she knows how the timeline works – that the further away they get from the moment Ava, and Gary, disappeared, the more she’ll begin to forget.
(Or, Sara’s thought when Ava fritzes out. Or, news of the cancellation is hitting hard - I hope what I’m trying to say in this one comes clear as you read.)
and for me, it’s always you

Summary:
Ava moves to the block the summer she turns seven, freshly adopted and terrified of the prospect of calling somewhere home permanently, but Mr. Hunter, her social worker, told her that it isn’t the worst thing in the world – to have a home, to find a place where living doesn’t have to hurt all the time.
Within the first week, she decides that he was unbelievably, hilariously wrong.
Kids on the street have already made friends, and it’s hard to make her way into dynamics that already exist. Besides, she’s convinced herself she doesn’t really need to get close to anyone. In fact, she’s decided she doesn’t want to.
But, two weeks into summer, when the sweltering heat has driven most kids inside or into their sprinkler systems and pools, someone comes to the door. Of course, she hasn’t heard Ava’s rule about people.
(Or, a childhood best friends AU. There’s such thing as love before you know it’s love. There’s such thing as love that terrifies you. There’s such thing as love that makes you tell the truth. Snapshots in the lives of Sara and Ava until they’re finally ready to be honest.)
