Summary
Zoey thinks, lying back against the paper covering of the cold examination table, while trying to ignore the sensation of inorganic equipment being lodged in places they had no god-given right to be, that this is, inarguably, the least sexy way to get knocked up.
Zoey isn’t really sure how she ended up here, in all honesty.
Well, she is. She can recount the steps chronologically. How Mira and Rumi had looked so god-damned defeated. How her big, stupid mouth had opened and volunteered, initially, and then had said yes to all of their concerned interrogations as to whether or not she was sure, like, really sure, one hundred per cent sure?
And now she’s said yes so many times and so adamantly that it isn’t as though she can suddenly back track and say, surprise! I am actually no longer willing to carry the baby you have been so desperately trying for because I think it would be a really super-duper bad idea! Sorry for getting your hopes up!
Zoey agrees to be a surrogate for a married Rumira. Things get messy because she's already in love with them, has known this for years, but she might be falling in love with the baby, too

Summary
Rumi’s hair has never been hers. She's ready to reclaim it.
“Hi,” She says, her smile crooked and honest. “Your hair’s down.” It’s not often. It’s such a rarity, in fact, that the statement has Mira glancing up too.
“Yeah,” Rumi swallows, feeling all of a sudden far too seen. “I, um. I want to cut it.”
“Oh?” Zoey says.
Mira won’t stop staring either. Eventually, she offers, at the continued silence, “I’m sure Bobby could get us booked in tomorrow. Eun-seo has been on my back recently about a touch-up.” The taller girl’s hand runs nonchalantly through her own unaturally coloured hair. It’s the usual procedure. Having anyone other than their personal stylists in close proximity with scissors and sharp things would be considered a sin.
“No.” Rumi responds. “No. I don’t want anyone else to do it.” And now they were looking at her with a whole new level of attention. Zoey had dabbled, back in America. Rumi did not need it to be neat and tidy and perfect; she just needed this first terrifying part to be done by the hands of someone she trusted implicitly. Who might actually understand what Rumi was asking of them.

Summary
Sick Harrow AU
"Pyrrha hadn’t explained what the pasta was for, or why number Nine was in particular need of neighbourly sustenance. Only that she’d been running late for work and that Gideon was to deliver it and not — look at me, no, look at me — not eat it herself.
Gideon knew how these things usually went. She expected a painfully old widower with grey hair and wrinkled skin, or a recently divorced and struggling mother of three, or maybe someone still going through the long and tormenting battle of their sickbed. So, when the door creaked open, and the sound was like something straight out of a Henry Selick movie — all theatrics and no actual threat, she found staring back at her the beady, black eyes of someone who couldn’t be much younger than herself."

Summary
An Orpheus and Eurydice inspired, canon-compliant mini fic.
Or:
What had happened was that on the outskirts of a battle between a deity and a pretender, Harrowhark had been tossed around like a fruit fly caught in a storm wind.
Once it had kicked off, there had been really very little she could have done to stop it.
They’d breached the river, and as a drowning man is pulled below by the gravity of the very ship he is trying to escape, she’d been pulled down with them.
And what had happened was that Harrow had fallen through the river, had reached the dark bottom of it, and then had continued falling.

Summary
“Just—” Rumi takes a deep breath. “Just act as if I wasn’t here. Explore your relationship the way you would if you were alone. I mean—obviously close the door if you want to get, um, more intimate, but… I—I don’t want to freak out every day thinking I’m a liability to you guys. I don’t want to worry about you not fully living this relationship the way you want just because I’m around. I want you to be free. Is that—Does that make any sense?”

Summary
“Celine…”
She can’t even find the simplest of words. Her body is still surging with adrenaline, the feeling of not one, or two, but three voices in her head. Three sets of feelings.
“How…how am I supposed to hide my patterns from them if we can…hear each other’s *fucking thoughts*.”
“You can block the connection Rumi. You just have to put up walls.”
“Put up walls?!” Rumi nearly shrieks. “They can already tell if I’m hungry before I can. I think it’s a little late for walls-“
OR
Once the girls pledged their oath as demon hunters, they were granted telepathy through the Honmoon and the more Rumi holds up walls against them, the more touch-starved and horny she gets.

Summary
This was, without a doubt, Mira's worst nightmare.
The woman to her left leant over her for the fourth time to talk to the person on her right, and Mira tore her headphones down - her over-ear, very expensive, noise cancelling headphones that apparently were completely useless when faced with whatever actual nonsense this woman was saying to her friend - to sit around her neck so she could say with venom, “Please switch seats with me. I'm begging you.”
“It's not allowed,” the purple-haired woman on her right said, her hands visibly tense on the armrests. On Mira's armrest. Everyone knew the person in the middle seat got both armrests. Fuck AirAsia for charging for allocated seating. “If you're not in your assigned seats they can't identify you from your teeth when you die.”
The ‘I'm stuck in the middle seat of an airplane and these two idiots won't swap seats to sit next to each other’ AU. Established Zorumi, a very grumpy Mira, and a six hour flight.
