Summary
When Zoey returns to California for her annual visit with her estranged father, Rumi and Mira notice something's wrong. The cheerful texts don't match the fear in her voice. The selfies hide more than they show.
"I didn't want you to know," she says. "I thought if I pretended hard enough... he'd be the dad I remembered."

Summary
“Let go of me!”
“Or what?” He squeezes her arm, as if to wordlessly repeat his question; taunting her.
“Or I will fire you,” a new voice replies from behind them. Mira almost jumps, looking up in surprise to find that Rumi and space bun girl have followed them out the back door.
They look furious.
OR,
Mira has been on her own since she ran away from home at fifteen, and she plans to keep it that way. Rumi and Zoey are having none of it.

Summary
The yellow bomber jacket hit first — so bold it made the drab office look even duller. Then her hair: a thick braid of deep violet, heavy enough to swing like a rope, brushing against her ankle with every step. Her dark eyes swept the room, steady, unhurried.
Orryn rose immediately, lips curling back, a snarl vibrating his chest.
She didn’t flinch. If anything, her gaze flicked toward him with quiet amusement, like she’d expected it. That slight upward pull of her mouth only stoked his growl further.
Mira tightened her grip on his ruff. “Sorry,” she said quickly. “He doesn’t usually—”
“It’s fine,” Rumi interrupted, her voice calm and smooth. “I get that a lot.”
The dean blinked, thrown. “And… your daemon?”
Rumi tilted her head, braid shifting over her shoulder. “Didn’t feel like being cooped up again after the train ride. He’s probably somewhere outside. A tree, maybe.” Her laugh was light, as though she hadn’t just said something impossible.
Silence blanketed the room. Daemons didn’t stray. Not like that. The dean’s dog whined softly. Tavris crawled higher up Zoey’s shoulder, claws pricking through her shirt.
Zoey blurted, “You’re hot.“

Summary
Celine was put in an impossible situation. Run the Sunlight Sisters record label, try to keep demons out of the world in the absence of two hunters, and raise a child that wasn't hers, all on her own.
Oh, and of course, just to add to the difficulty of her situation, the kid is half demon. She's lucky she's so stinking cute.

AKA, Celine being a good mom au.
I've seen so many stories completely villainizing Celine, which I'm totally interested in exploring don't get me wrong, but I also disagree that that's how she is in canon. She's a lot more complex than that, I think. That being said, this ALSO isn't based on canon. This is Celine doing a better job at being the parent Rumi needed.
Also note that the first chapter is a prologue and not really in the style that the rest of the fic will be written in, it's just like that for atmosphere!
(Very minor edits happening periodically, chapter 12 coming soon)
