    Summary

    The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-” 

    Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.

     “-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.

    Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.

    Or

    Mira with Zoey holding her arm in a death grip: Hey, my girlfriend saw you from across the record shop, and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a vinyl?

    Summary

    Letting someone into your head means letting them know you to your core, and then losing them means being alone in a way you never could have been before.

    Ranger Ryu Rumi, former pilot of the legendary Mark IV jaeger Demon Song and a survivor of the Jaeger Program's golden age, before everything went wrong and the war turned against them, has paid that price. Once the pride of the Shatterdome, now she's scarred and alone, and the sheer weight of the loss has her resigned to that fate.

    So failed cadets Mira and Zoey, humanity’s last hope, have no place in her lonely world. But with the Breach growing more active again, Rumi is forced to return to the Shatterdome to teach them how to love what she lost, and to hold on to each other harder than anyone outside of the Drift ever could.

    But the Drift is a tricky thing, it calls to the heart and soul, so they start to want to hold on to her too, even as she tries to stay away. Because the Drift already ruined her once, and she doesn't have the strength to risk it happening again.

    Summary

    There was something in the way Rumi acts when she's around kids.

    Zoey and Mira would be deep into conversation when they'd realize that their girlfriend was not in step with them anymore. Then they would find Rumi from behind, crouched down on the level of a child, eyes soft and voice gentle.

    Or

    Rumi, Zoey and Mira bump into a child and they immediately feel a connection.

    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

     Six years since Rumi disappeared off the face of the Earth.

    Well, alright, maybe that was dramatic. Sure, she'd left with little warning, but there still was some. A short 10 minute conversation filled with yelling, screaming, cussing, and then she was gone. An uber. 3 suitcases, 2 eyes full of what Zoey remembered to be shame and pity, and one extremely broken family.

    --OR--

    The last thing married couple Zoey and Mira expected was a text from longtime ex and bandmate, Rumi.
