    Summary

    She pushes her glasses back up her nose, eyes never moving from the spot on Rumi’s shoulder. Hm. They are, in fact, still there.

    “Zoey,” Mira calls, keeping her voice low, not wanting to alert Rumi, because, quite frankly, she needs to talk to anyone else who isn't the source of the problem right now.

    Zoey, thankfully, picks up on the tone in her voice, easily making her way over from across the compound, giving Mira a look. Mira just gestures for Zoey to get closer to her, and once Zoey is shoulder-to-shoulder with her, Mira gestures over toward Rumi.

    There’s a pause.

    “Huh,” Zoey decides, frowning. “That’s...” she trails off, waving a hand as she tilts her head to the side. “Different.”

    “Something like that,” Mira agrees, crossing her arms over her chest. “Rumi has patterns.”

    Zoey makes a noise. “Yeah. I guess so, huh?”

    (or, mira and zoey discover rumi's patterns early and make it their life goal to...help)

    Summary

    So that’s it, huh.

    Mira does a better job at stifling her tears than Zoey, but she still feels a few warm drops run down her cheeks.

    The hopes and dreams of being an idol at Sunlight Entertainment—hell, of being anything—are gone with a handwave from some guy in a suit and a paper that says “Thanks for auditioning”.

    Before she can storm out as quickly as possible to save what little face she has left, Mira turns on her heel and freezes at the sight of Celine, the CEO of Sunlight Entertainment, watching her. That odd woman with the purple braid and mask floats behind her, eyes gleaming.

    “Mira. Zoey.” Celine steps towards them. “Before you leave, I have an offer I’d like you to consider.”

    Or: When Mira and Zoey, both running from difficult pasts, audition to become idols at Sunlight Entertainment (famous for its mysterious headliner idol Hunter) and fail, all hopes of meeting and training under Hunter go out the window until Celine makes them a different, surprise offer: train under Celine’s unknown ward Rumi instead.

    (“Why us?” Zoey asks.

    “Honestly,” Rumi says, “I think you're both really weird.”

    Oh. Mira might kill her.)

    Summary

    The client hadn’t really requested anything at all; their emails had been almost overly polite, if not jarringly formal, and had selected only the most vanilla options on the questionnaire she provided. Certainly a far cry from the standard practices of her usual clientele, but this one had paid upfront and picked this expensive hotel, and Mira’s fees are dear enough on their own that she had been coloured intrigued. 

    Mira takes a left down the hallway after leaving the elevator and finds herself at the door to the room. She doesn’t steel herself—doesn’t need to. She can handle anything. Has handled most things. Mira swipes the keycard and lets herself in. 

    The person sitting on the bed is probably the last thing she expects.

    In which Mira is a professional, Rumi is socially inept, and Zoey is also there. Let's hope nobody catches feelings.

    Summary

    “Hey, babe. Been looking everywhere for you.”

    The voice was low, honeyed, warm in all the right places. It fell over Rumi in a way the man’s voice hadn’t, settling into her bones and gnawing faintly, already leaving impressions on her marrow.

    And yet another touch, this one lighter, a palm splayed across the small of her back, a second body pressing into hers from behind.

    “Yeah, we thought we lost you for a sec there.” This voice, a little higher, but no less deadly.

    Not one, but two strangers.

    “Can’t you see you’re interrupting something?” the guy snapped at them.

    “Can’t you see,” the first voice mocked, “she’s not yours?”

    OR

    Two women step in when a guy gets pushy with Rumi at a bar. What happens after is meant to be a one-night stand, nothing more.

    But rarely do things turn out exactly the way they're meant to.

    Summary

    Arya is the only one of them to have met the Targaryen’s Young Dragon, and even then it had been a short battlefield acquaintance when the Ironborn had tried to take the Rock and a hasty alliance had been formed to push them back. Arya had come back from the south covered in blood and filth and said, he’s adequate, I suppose, which meant he probably was the greatest living swordsman.
