Summary
“I’m telling you, Dokka would totally play Stardew Valley!” Zoey yelled.
“Do you really see a goddess like her doing something so trivial? There’s no way! She’s a die-hard RPG player. She probably defeats Elden Ring with her eyes closed!”
“Just because she’s hot doesn’t mean she can’t get a wife and settle down!” Zoey was practically standing on the couch at this point.
Rumi is just standing to the side, trying to comprehend the obvious compliments they unknowingly gave Rumi.
Or
Rumi is a rich and famous idol who hides behind a mask and fake name. After getting lonely she decides to go to college where she accidentally moves in with two of her biggest fans. So now she needs to keep her identity hidden while figuring out feelings she’s developing.
Warnings will change as story progresses.

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?

Summary
Uther dies instead of Ygraine when Arthur is born. Balinor helps Ygraine secure her position as regent, magic isn’t banned, and Merlin and Arthur grow up side by side. Camelot is different but not cloudless, destiny is still a troublesome thing, and Arthur is still charmingly oblivious when it comes to things that matter most in life.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
