    Summary

    “Did you know the clitoris has over eight thousand nerve endings?” Zoey remarks, her hands sliding up Rumi’s thighs again. “Some studies indicate the number might be over ten thousand, even.”

    “I am aware,” Mira deadpans, holding Rumi in place as she squirms and whimpers under Zoey’s ministrations. “I just had my mouth on all of them.”

    (OR, touch-starved sexually repressed half-demon attempts self-pleasure, fails miserably. Mira and Zoey reap the rewards)

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.

    Summary

    “Okay, seriously, what is going on with you?” Mira demands. Rumi catches a glimpse of her expression, eyes narrowed, like she’s confused rather than hurt. “This is totally, like, I don’t know, Rumi! This isn’t you. Listen, I get that things are tough, but what the hell is this?”

    “It’s—”

    “Don’t lie to me, Rumi,” Mira warns. “How are we meant to seal the honmoon if you’re too busy doing...whatever this is? You’re tearing yourself apart. And—what the hell was all of that? Do you seriously expect me to just, I don’t know, ignore all of that? Are you serious?”

    She’s going to kill you. You should let her.

    “Mira, it’s—”

    “Don’t lie to me, Rumi,” Mira hisses out, her confusion turning to hurt; Rumi can see the shift in her eyes, the way she flinches back as soon as the words leave her mouth. “Please. What’s going on with you?”

    (or, rumi and mira's conversation goes a little worse and a lot better at the same time)

    Summary

    The memory rises unbidden: the clash of bodies, the way Rumi had aimed a blow at her torso. Mira dodging— barely— only allowing Rumi to graze her side.

    “And what’s your name?” Rumi had asked mid-fight, breath steady, smirk radiant.

    “Like I’d tell—”

    Rumi had leapt back then, sudden and theatrical, leaving space between them. Mira had paused, wary, unsure what game she was playing.

    Then Rumi had flourished Mira’s ID, plucked from her pocket without her noticing.

    “Kang Mira, Interpol,” she’d read aloud, slow and condescending, like she was talking to a kindergartener. “Woah. The big guns are after me now.”

    “How’d you—?”

    “Picked your pocket just now,” Rumi had continued, eyes flicking up to meet hers. “Pretty name for a pretty face.”

    “Damn,” Zoey’s voice had crackled in Mira’s earpiece. “She’s good. And hot.”

    “Stop that,” Mira had snapped— both at the nagging voice in her head and at the nagging voice ahead of her.

    OR

    Mira and Zoey are the Interpol agents assigned to the Ryu Rumi case, a globally renowned superthief. But the closer Mira gets, the more she begins to notice the quieter ways the case is beginning to take things from her.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Zoey cut in meekly. “I’m just trying to understand—”

    Rumi whirled to face her, and she flinched back. “I’ve explained this to you before. We have insects that are pests and we have insects that are beneficial. If we let the pests live, they do damage, so we kill them. It doesn’t matter if it’s alive—all of them are alive, but some of them need to die.”

    A study of Rumi and bugs.

    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-

    Summary

    Looking at Rumi now, curled up on the floor and staring at nothing, Mira thinks how fucking stupid it was that all this happened because of a press war. A popularity contest.

    or

    You are six years old, and the woman who is not your mother finally listens. She thinks it’s something you’ll grow out of, and you can already tell she feels guilty for how she can’t love you properly, so she lets you grow your hair out and lets you put on those pretty dresses. She calls you Rumi, because you asked her to. And then you’re ten, and you still haven’t grown out of it, so you move from the city to the country. She gets you the finest doctors, all the blockers and hormones at the right time, all the vocal training and clothes and everything else you need to be a real girl.

    or

    pop star au without magic. retelling of cannon events with a dual storyline of mira and zoey trying to find their girl in the husk that came back from the hospital.

    Summary

    It doesn’t know exactly when it started to understand.

    At some point, when it’s maybe fifteen, it wonders—because it’s not as if it doesn’t hear people calling it “she” pretty much every day. Hadn’t it heard that as a kid as well? Even when it didn’t really interact with anyone, when it was too young to be around people, when there wasn’t really anyone talking about it. So it’s not like anyone has ever actually called it “it,” even though that’s what’s accurate since it isn’t a she. It can’t be—because it isn’t human. It’s a demon. It’s a monster.

    Summary

    After a rabies exposure, the virus must travel to the brain before it can cause symptoms. Therefore, the incubation period may last for weeks to months depending on several factors such as location of the exposure site (in relation to the brain) and age; in extremely rare cases it could be dormant for years.
    Rumi thinks about this one frequently, lying in bed at night; the idea that you could be wasting away at any moment in your life. A poison in your veins with you none the wiser– like a ticking bomb just waiting to go off.
    You would need to get bit or scratched first, of course, and if you took the right precautions you would likely never know. And Rumi has never been bitten anyway. She’s fine.
    Absently, she scratches at her shoulder– skin tight.

    also known affectionately as the “rabies rumi” fic. i promise she doesn’t actually get rabies.

    Summary

    Mira's okay. Mira's okay. Mira's okay.

    Zoey’s okay. Zoey's okay. Zoey's okay.

    You're okay. You're okay. You're okay.

    It just didn't feel right—didn't feel like she meant it enough. Her mind kept drifting restlessly and she couldn't focus on the words, on what she wanted them to mean.

    She took an unsteady breath and started again.

    Rumi has lived with rules all her life, rules that only apply to her and don't make sense to anyone else, so it isn't weird that she keeps developing more.

    Summary

    she looks back down to meet his gaze, picking up her fork to poke at her cold food distractedly.

    “they just get so… cuddly. and touchy-feely, i guess.”

    there’s a brief, silent pause in which rumi and jinu stare at each other with what feels like the weight of the world on their shoulders. jinu eventually breaks first.

    “oh my god,” he breathes out the breath he didn’t even realise he was holding harshly before smothering his face into his hands.

    “what?” rumi snaps defensively, her brows tightening into a tiny, self-conscious frown.

    “nothing,” he sighs, dragging his hands down his face. “i just can’t believe that your problem is two of the hottest women on campus wanting to cuddle with you after sex.”

    or,

    the one where rumi doesn't quite understand what aftercare is, and freaks out about it just a bit.

    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

    This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.

    Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.

    (She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)

    Or

    As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.

    Summary

    “But there’s only one of me,” Rumi says. “Where are the others?”

    “They’re out in the world right now. Little girls, just like you. Only they don’t know, yet, that they are Hunters. One day, you will find them, and your soul will be complete.”

    She tries to imagine the two other girls somewhere out there. She wonders if they live in a small village like her, or if they live in a city, or by the water. She wonders what the other girls will be like. She wonders if they’ll like her.

    “I can’t wait to meet them,” Rumi says reverently.

    Summary

    “Now, I have to tell you… she wore out one painter before you.”

     

    Vi’s brow furrows. “How so?” She can’t keep the question at bay.

     

    Cassandra looks down at her tea. “To put it simply, she refused to pose. He never saw her face.”

     

    Vi sits up a little straighter, concern tightening her muscles.

     

    “Why won’t she be painted, exactly?” The image of the smudged face barrages her, filling her vision with blue and gold.

     

    “She refuses this marriage,” she replies sternly, lines etched along her brow. Cassandra glances up to her own wedding portrait before meeting Vi’s gaze again. “You must paint her without her knowing.”
