    Summary

    Rumi had been a mistake from the moment she was conceived. Life was not something she deserved to enjoy, and must instead live through her own pain and misery. Coming to terms with a life filled with suffering and mundanity had been her only plan, entirely ready to take what she deserves.

    Her life begins to change into something she does not know how to handle, and the people in her around are strangely committed to making a difference for her.

    Or Rumi is severely traumatized and I want her to experience life and love properly.

    Summary

    “Now that her patterns were officially out on display, she’d expected their Comeback promos to be a breeze. Finally free to move around and just have fun with the girls without any of the worry hanging over her. But if anything, she somehow felt more nervous than she ever remembered being before. Like she could still hear the ghost of all those warnings echoing through her head. Like she didn’t know what to do with herself without them."

    ...

    Rumi struggles with her new look, her new support system, and her new differences with her guardian. But ups and downs are to be expected, and her girls aren’t going to give up on her so easily.

    Summary

    Zoey brushed a thumb against her lip to get a better look, close enough for Rumi to feel like she was breathing in her face. She stared awkwardly around the couch, at the floor, at anything that wasn’t Zoey; feeling much too aware of her tongue and saliva and, now, a little put off by how intently Zoey was suddenly looking.

    ‘Holy Honmoon.’

    ‘What? What is it?’ Rumi asked around her fingers. She made a strained noise as Zoey pinched her top lip to pull it higher.

    ‘You have fangs.’

    ‘I… huh?’

    ...

    A collection of scenes as Rumi's fangs grow in, and the learning curves that follow.

    Summary

    'Why didn’t you take it off earlier if you were so uncomfortable?’

    She blinked, squinting in the light with eyes that shifted back and forth like they were searching for the answer. Her fingers brushed against the shimmering patterns along her bicep. She was so used to being careful about showing her arms, about keeping her patterns covered no matter what, that the thought to simply take off a layer to cool down hadn’t even registered to her.

    ‘I… didn’t even think about it.’

    ...

    Rumi's still getting used to dressing for the weather rather than for her patterns - the need to cover up has just been drilled into her for so long. Inevitably, this backfires on her.
