    Summary

    She wants them.

    She wants Mira and Zoey so badly, in whatever way, shape, or form that comes in.

    For once in her life, Rumi wants to be selfish.

    Or: HUNTR/X works towards sealing the Honmoon and falls in love along the way. Pre-reveal Rumi, hiding both her patterns and her wants, loves her girls in whatever way she can until she's free (whether that means shielding Mira and Zoey in fights or pretending to be something she's not). She just has to hold out until the Honmoon’s golden. Straightforward enough, right?

    [Learned there's nothing stopping me from using my own popular fic for evil (aka, advertising other fics and authors I'm obsessed with). SO: if you like fantastically written explorations of character identities along with rich stories that explore unique polytrix dynamics, then check out ink & honey by ghostgrlonfirst (and all her other works) - I cannot recommend her fics enough]

    Summary

    Rumi has always been a bad beta. She knows this intrinsically, as if it’s a fact etched into her skin as permanently as her patterns.

    It isn't for a lack of effort. She tries to be a good meditator, a strong glue to hold them all together. She tries to do all of the right things; she leaves food and blankets outside of their doors during ruts and handles it patiently when the alpha posturing gets out of control.

    She tries, and she knows that it isn’t enough, because if it was, there wouldn’t be this awful chasm in her chest. The constantly underlying want that settles under her skin whenever she’s with Mira and Zoey, or even when she's without them for too long.

    Betas aren’t supposed to want. They aren’t supposed to have this terrible aching feeling that something is missing.

    OR:

    Rumi presents late because of her demon blood.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    For soft El fearing she’s a monster feels. And Max seeing her clearly. Also, inspired use of powers.
