Summary
Zoey toasted her with her drink and took a sip, "I can't believe anyone would stand up you two hotties."
"Blind date," Mira said. "Both of us."
"Really?" Zoey spun in her stool, "Wow that's kind of funny. Three hotties walk into a bar, completely dateless."
"At least I'm not alone in this misery." Mira smiled at her, watching the woman spin around and around.

Summary
“You agree, right? That they like me back?” Zoey asks.
Derpy lets out a rumbling sound. Zoey still hasn’t pieced together what all of his growls and meows mean, but she’s pretty sure that one means Yes, Zoey, your friends definitely do like you back, and you should totally get them to kiss you.

Summary
By the age of eight the pain beneath her ribs is constant; a reminder of their disappointment, of rules broken and expectations not met.
It becomes a part of her, held tenderly like a bird with clipped wings, something to nurse instead of fear; a sign of her existing as more than just a puppet.
The shimmering ocean of lights remains too, weaving itself through the air around her. She's learned the melody of its call, composed a song of her own as a response, something intrinsically hers — or perhaps theirs. She learns to find comfort in the way it shines brighter with every act of defiance, every decision she makes to fight back against those terms and conditions, even though she wants…
She wants to be held when she's sad. She wants to be comforted when she's hurt. She wants to feel like she matters. She wants to be loved.
Loved without rules, without threats, without surrendering everything she is and thinks and feels.
She wants so much it hurts.

Summary
Rumi never planned on coming back. After losing her mom, she left without a trace – until one moment changed everything. A year later, she’s back in New York, hiding behind music and the two brothers who survived alongside her.
Then Zoey and Mira walk back into her life. Old wounds reopen, melodies pull them closer, and buried feelings rise to the surface. But Rumi’s past isn’t done with her, and healing might be the hardest mission she’s ever faced.

Summary
World peace was possible, Mira concluded, not for the first time. Their intergalactic space war would probably be over a lot sooner if they broadcast Zoey’s puppy dog eyes across the galaxy.
In which Rumi is a genetically-modified super soldier who finds herself in a ragtag little family she never knew she needed.

Summary
Celine insisted that the three of them get to know each other a little more before actually recording any music. She says it's clear to fans when a group's members are actually friends versus just people that were placed together.
That's why Rumi finds herself standing outside of a cafe waiting for the other two members of her new group, Huntr/x. She fiddles with her phone in her hand, a little nervous. These two were nice enough during their last couple of meet ups, but that was around other members of the Huntr/x team. Celine and Bobby won't be here this time to fill the silence.

Mira suggests Never Have I Ever as a get-to-know-you icebreaker.

"I'm one year older," she said, staring straight ahead.
"That's how it usually works," Mira said, hand sliding into hers.
The words were harder than she'd thought and she gasped them out with a shuddery breath, "I'm twenty-five and I'm one year older than she got to be."

Summary
It’s autumn when she sees them again.
It’s impossible, but she does.
Her patterns know it before she does.
(They’re glowing. She’s glowing, a faint, pulsing gold).
(They haven’t glowed in almost a century).

Demons, even half, are immortal. Humans, less so.

"You'll hate me."
The conviction behind the words broke Zoey and Mira’s hearts.

Rumi couldn't block the swing while they fought on top of the train. It's something she couldn't brush off with a simple reassurance, and suddenly she was trapped waiting for the tides to turn on her.
They didn't.Bookmarked by pasteldaydreams

Summary
Mira and Zoey knew what she was was, Mira and Zoey the demon hunters knew what she was and had their weapons drawn, and Rumi’s voice had just threatened the Hunmoon they were sworn to protect.
She should run- should act like the demon she was and run away from the demon hunters despite how desperately she wanted to be near them.
She should find Jinu. He was a demon too, a demon who hated what he was and understood Rumi, who had promised to make the Saja Boys lose tonight.
But Mira and Zoey were right there- Mira and Zoey.
How could she run away from the people she wanted nothing more than to spend her life close to.
She had been so close, so close to finally being able to fully lean into Zoey’s hugs, to taking off her long-sleeves during morning treadmill runs with Mira, to going to that damn bathhouse with them.
(She had been so close to being something good enough to let them see.)
She couldn't run from them. (Rumi was tired, so tired.)

Summary
You’ve read far too much about love to allow yourself to make such a careless mistake. You know all about how it sneaks up on you. How one day it’s hardly much of anything, how the next it becomes bright and loud and too much. You know that better than anyone. You’ve read thousands of iterations of it, thousands of admissions, thousands of hastily scrawled out pleas to understand that you must understand, I could have never seen this coming.
You consider love, hate, indifference. You turn over words in your mind until they sound wrong and removed. You do this with love until you can stand to hear it echoed in your own thoughts.
(When you realise you love her, you’ll plead to yourself in the mirror. You must understand, you’ll beg, I could have never seen this coming.)
(or, a story about love, hate, truths, and what it means to be and love a monster)

Summary
Her boot catches the edge of a tile—barely a slip, just a half step too short—and she stumbles.
And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.
“You lost your balance.”
Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.
“Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”
The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.
Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.
OR
basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond. but ofc Rumi has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused Rumi with a guise for improvement. (it gives mother gothel)
The memories that haunt Rumi cause her to pull away, and the girls try to figure out why (and they succeed in a devastating way).*Zoey and Mira follow Rumi to Celine’s after the idol awards reveal (ch6)*

Summary
“Rumi,” Zoey’s voice is impossibly soft, “why wouldn’t I tell you that you’re good?”
Rumi shrugs, feeling raw and exposed in the way she always does after kneeling for them.
She considers the question: she just wasn’t brought up that way. There was never any need for praise or affirmation as a form of encouragement. Not when there were other forms so readily available – imminent choking forms, creeping steadily across her body.
A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.

Summary
Polytrix - Pirate AU
In a world where the sea is both graveyard and goldmine, the crew of the Honmoon sails on legends and longing.
Rumi, Zoey and Mira, feared across the seas, are more than pirates. They are monster-hunters, lovers, and the closest thing each of them has ever had to home. Their names are inked into tavern songs and whispered through portside markets. Together, they carve a path through the ocean’s wildest depths, chasing beasts with teeth like spears and scales that sell for more than gold.
They share a ship, a bed, a name sung in salt-soaked ballads. But Rumi carries a truth stitched into her skin. One she cannot speak, even to the women she loves most. So she bleeds in silence. Smiles when it hurts. And prays the tide never turns.
But the ocean remembers what’s been buried.
