    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    (formerly 'fearfully and wonderfully made')

    It's like this: You fail or almost fail, you hide yourself under the cover of the work you do. You do better, you’d better do better. You become more. The sisters of the Order of the Cruciform Sword know their days will be few.

    No matter. Service to the Lord is your calling; faith is your business.

    (Ava doesn't change everything, let's be real, but she does come damn close.)

    Summary

    Sometimes you just need some late-night yearning. What better time to do it than in moonlight, where vulnerabilities and words usually left unspoken come out?

    Ava and Beatrice have some nighttime encounters. Everything is softer then, when they're half-hidden in shadow, no longer scrutinized by the sun blazing down on high. Stares and touches can linger. Words gain deeper meaning, and they both start to realize that what's between them is a little more than friendly.

    Summary

    There are too many ghosts, too many memories, too many stories leeching out of these walls.

    Hermione doesn’t know if they made the right decision in returning.

    But with Ginny’s arm around her shoulders and Neville’s blanket draped across her, with the warmth of the fire and two of her greatest friends burning some feeling back into her extremities, she thinks that maybe, just maybe, she might survive.

    **

    OR: Hermione, post-Battle of Hogwarts.
