    Summary

    "Do you have any idea what it's like watching you drift further and further from us? Watching you turn yourself into something unrecognizable? Because I do. I've seen demons cling to human faces like masks. I've watched them mimic grief. Fear. Kindness."
    "Mira." Zoey warns.
    "And lately? When I look at you? I don't see the girl we grew up with and love."
    Rumi's hands begin to shake. "...what do you see?" she whispers.
    "A demon. I don't trust you. Not with me, not with Zoey, not with yourself. You're no different than any other demon we've come across. No different than Gwi-Ma."
    There is a shocked silence.
    Rumi face crumples, it reminds them of the way she begged just a few weeks ago. Begged them not to leave her. To love her. Things had been so good, she was selfish to think she could have this. To want this.
    Her tone is flat and resigned. "Oh."

    -------

    or Rumi tries to hide her full demon traits after the idol awards to protect Zoey and Mira from her, and out of fear that their new fragile relationship will break under the reveal. Mira lashes out in the worst way possible after she catches Rumi in yet another lie, and angst ensues.

    Summary

    “Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”

    “Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”

    -

    Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.

    “Rumi. Rumi, no.”

    Rumi inched closer to the rail.

    “Rumi, please don’t.”

    Zoey’s foot moved.

     

    Rumi leapt.

    Aka, another version of ‘Mira and Zoey find out about Rumi's patterns in a different way’ but this one's ✨mine✨

    Summary

    Rumi hadn’t meant to cause such a scene. She just wasn’t thinking straight.

    Celine had told her Zoey and Mira would kill her if they found out what she was, and Rumi had come to the conclusion that she was probably right.

    Her plan, as tenuous a description as that word was, was to cut the patterns out. If she could cut out the parts of her that made her dangerous, that made her less than human, that made her so unloveable, maybe she’d stop feeling so fucking guilty every time Mira or Zoey opened up to her.

    They loved each other from the start, but it just wasn't that simple.

    Summary

    Her shoulder burned, and Zoey was being so nice, and she was going to have to throw away her stupid shirt because she’d seen how bloody it was when she checked, and she knew how soft and gentle Mira’s face would be when she fixed up Zoey’s cut, and she couldn’t carry Zoey even though she’d wanted to because it hurt, and she was going to have to sort this out on her own, again, and-

    Rumi gets hurt, then gets hurt again.

    Summary

    A collection of hurt/comfort polytrix fics that are loosely connected but can all be read stand-alone.

    I can't stop hurting them. I won't stop hurting them.

    Polytrix might not be explicitly mentioned in all of these but as a girl kisser I promise you it's always at the very least implied.
