Summary
They leave Edwards Island for good. They're all alive, all whole (technically speaking, if you discount the damage to their minds), except for Alex, who's taking home a little more than she expected.
Alternative summary: An unofficial sequel to Oxenfree. Finally escaping the island, Alex has more than one voice in her head and several (dozen) souls in her body.

Summary
Three women all in different places in their lives, thinking that they're content with the way things are.
Rumi, a widow and single mother to a five year old daughter just trying to find any sort of emotional connection with her days of fame and stardom behind her.
Zoey, a young 20-something with big dreams, doing whatever she can to live her on her own, taken far away from the place she called home.
Mira, the young daughter of a powerful family who is living her life on her terms, having the means and confidence to do so.
A mix of questionable decisions, absurd coincidences, and a few leaps of faith that might end up turning out beautifully for all three of them.

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
They begin on her bicep, jagged bruising purple, ink under skin that can’t be washed away.
Rumi can’t tell them, she has to fix herself first, to accept what they offer fully. Jaws, sharp vicious things that flex and slobber snap closed around her throat, the burn always starts low before it builds.
It starves, shrivels and waits, just as commanded.
or, times when the girls are nebulously shifted apart and others where they slowly begin to slide into one another’s orbit
or, or Rumi wants them, an undeniable truth.

Summary
Rumi lets out a broken, disbelieving sob, staring at herself in the mirror. She’s meant to be fixed. She’s—her patterns are gone, they’re gone, but this isn’t...she didn’t want this. She didn’t want...
The honmoon glows golden underneath her feet. She can see the ripples spread up along the walls, carefully ebbing toward her. It stings when the honmoon wraps itself around her entire body, and Rumi can only watch as she’s engulfed by the light, staring at herself, unable to turn away. It feels like an embrace, but it’s cold and wrong, and it makes her tremble even harder, because the honmoon has never felt like that. Not to her.
Quietly, in the very back of her mind, a voice says, “This is what you asked for.”
(or, the au where rumi's patterns disappear after turning the honmoon gold, with severe, unexpected consequences)
