    Summary

    Secrets mean that she's still safe. That she hasn't ruined her only chance at fixing herself yet.

    So when Rumi begins having less-than-appropriate thoughts about her bandmates, it's just another thing she adds to the shelf.

    They were nothing more than intrusive thoughts at first.

    Everyone gets those. Who hasn't accidentally imagined their friends in a sexual context at least once? It happens, and she knows it doesn't mean anything. Mira and Zoey are objectively incredibly attractive, it can easily be explained as a completely normal compulsion.

    So life goes on. Things are normal, and every now and again Rumi thinks about fucking her friends.

    Summary

    “i do want to,” she declares. “it’s just that…”

    a beat of silence passes.

    “just that what?” mira asks.

    it’s just that you’re my two exes and this should be weird because what kind of person enjoys hooking up with their ex lovers oh and also i just realised i never really got over either of you properly so this is even weirder and am i a freak for secretly enjoying this i mean who does that like seriously i must be diseased and also did i mention that i’m totally still in love wi—

    or,

    the one where rumi sulks about being dragged to a party, sulks even more when she realises who's there, and then sulks a little less by the end of the night.

    Summary

    “The fans are eating up you being a romantic,” Rumi informs her with a smile. “They think it’s cute.”
    Mira frowns, pausing her scratching under Derpy's chin (he does not seem to mind. Or notice. Honestly, Mira's not exactly sure if the tiger is even aware that he's alive, sometimes…). “I’m not supposed to be cute. Zoey is cute-”
    “Aw, thank you!”
    “-you are cute, puppies are cute, Derpy is cute.”
    “Mira you’re very, very cute,” Zoey disagrees loudly from where she’s poking at a pot on the stove.
    “No, I- ugh. Whatever, not the point. Why did you two say that, anyway, about me being some closet romantic?”
    Rumi blinks at her. “Because… you are?”
    “I am not- when have you ever seen me fawn over someone opening a door?” Mira scoffs, resuming her ministrations on their fluffy visitor.
    “Never, but-”
    "So why did you do that? Now people think I'm some swooning idiot."
    “Right, no- Mira, I meant that you like to do those things.”
    “Duh,” Zoey calls helpfully from the kitchen.

    In which Mira decides to sweep Rumi and Zoey off their feet, and Rumi and Zoey are too stupid (affectionate) to realize it.

    What if Rumi AND Zoey didn't know they were dating. Mira would suffer, is what.

    Summary

    The water pushed her down, unstoppable, unending. Darkness closed in around her, the only light a distant pinpoint spinning above.

    (She was she was she was she was she was she was she was)

    The world burst around her like a bubble.


    Rumi gets kidnapped by the third Sunlight Sister and loses herself.
