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

Summary
With the mysterious patterns on her skin marking her as chosen by God, Rumi is a symbol of sanctity and divinity. Living sequestered away on a remote monastery, she knows her life: simple, easy, familiar. It’s all she could ever ask for.
Nothing could have prepared her for the arrival of a certain enigmatic stranger at the monastery, and the way their lives would intertwine after.

Summary
And still, she says nothing. Instead, she maintains eye contact, and–
Tugs. Just a little bit, just enough to catch against her throat and tilt her forward slightly. Zoey moans, her eyelashes fluttering.
Mira leans forward, maintaining a gentle but intoxicating pressure on her collar, and nips at Zoey’s ear. “So I was right.” She’s smug, clearly proud as her thumb finds Zoey’s pulse point. She lowers her voice to a whisper. “You do want to be my pet.”
OR
Mira has a sneaking suspicion about something one of her girlfriends might enjoy.

Summary
“You can put the pan down Zoey, she won’t hurt you.”
Zoey looked at the demon standing in her living room. Then at Mira’s rigid posture. Then back at the demon again.
Rumi’s smirk widened. She turned her head just enough to catch Zoey’s eye, then snapped her teeth lightly at the air, almost playful, flashing the sharp edge of her small fangs.
“No,” Zoey whispered, clutching it tighter. “I don’t think I will.”
Or
When her best friend’s apartment is “haunted,” paranormal investigator Mira discovers the poltergeist is actually her chaotic demon ex, who’s been pranking Zoey just to get Mira’s attention back. Apparently “no contact” doesn’t apply when you dated a creature who treats breakups like a challenge.

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
This couldn’t be right. This couldn’t be Sung Mira, the awkward kid she remembered from childhood—always one shoelace untied, perpetual bad attitude, with her hair falling out of its twin ponytails in uneven chunks.
The woman standing in front of her had a sharp jawline, gleaming bright-pink hair that caught the club lights like it had been designed for them. She stood tall with a confident lean in her posture—shoulders loose and eyes bright with mischief.
Not awkward. Not clumsy. Not anymore.
Hot.
Painfully, devastatingly hot.

Summary
Celine’s rules have kept her alive. Celine’s rules have kept her safe and warm and loved. Celine loves her, and because she loves her, she tells her that she can’t bond with her pack, her girls. If they found out— if they found out, it would be over. Celine tells her that it would be over because they’d kill her, that they would use their weapons against her, but all Rumi hears is that it’d be over because they would stop loving her and maybe that would kill her before their blades ever could.
Rumi has always kept a tight leash on herself—until her control starts to slip.
