    Summary

    Rumi shrugs. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m not interested.”
    “Bummer,” Zoey teases. “I was about to ask you to join us again, but, oh well. If you’re not interested, it can’t be—”
    “I think I’d like that.” The words slip out before Rumi realises she’s said them.
    OR
    Rumi is, at last, ready to accept the invitation to join Mira and Zoey, now that there are no more secrets. A kiss, a touch, a taste… and then so much more. What begins as a careful exploration turns into lingering gazes, soft touches, whispered breaths, and a heat that refuses to be contained. Every caress teeters between curiosity and craving, but as their touches grow bolder, memories of being exposed on stage flare, causing panic that makes it hard to fully surrender. Trust becomes a trembling act, but with Mira's and Zoey’s patience, she learns to let herself be wanted, to let desire and vulnerability coexist, and to discover that intimacy can be safe and healing. The line between friendship and something more begins to blur, leaving nothing quite the same again.
    OR
    Rumi finally says yes to Zoey’s nth offer to join them in bed. Realising Rumi’s inexperience, they start slow, exploring in shared safety. Gay panic and actual panic ensue.

    Summary

    Rumi is eleven, and she is going to die. This is a fact. It’s true for everyone, she supposes, but it’s different for her.

    Rumi is going to die. Not today. Probably not tomorrow. But soon. Sooner than most. Rumi is not going to live a long life. She might not even make it a quarter of the way through.

    Rumi is eleven, and she realizes just how short her lifespan will be. Rumi is going to die young, just like her mother, because she is a demon. She is both demon and hunter, predator and prey, and there is no possible way she will get to grow old.

    or: rumi, and her birthdays throughout the years

    Summary

    Joren of Stone Mountain's ordeal tests him in ways he could have never expected.
    ---
    "I'm going to help you understand something," Kel said, her soft, almost pitying. "Knighthood isn't about domination. It's about service."
