    Summary

    But the texture of the couch under her sweating palms scratched violently at something that had always been loose in Rumi’s mind. Something in her fingers clung to the ease of hiding next to these two women. Something wanted to howl but was so deeply buried all it could do was bite at its own flesh. Frustration was clawing at the back of the empty hollow feeling. Normally couch time helped. Normally the laughter started to fill her up again. It gave Rumi something to hold onto until she wasn’t drowning.

    Or

    Rumi had a process. Something that never failed to make her feel better. The girls were never suppose to know.

    Summary

    The messages start off stilted and formal, small pieces of paper attached to the collar of her beloved cat. Then, they go crazy, emojis and doodles and... is that glitter?

    And she really doesn't have any time for this - striking up a weird pen-pal correspondence with two total strangers - but Rumi just can't help being drawn towards these two mysterious women who take such good care of her cat.

    OR

    Rumi accidentally ends up sharing custody of her cat with Mira and Zoey. The three of them become pen-pals through messages delivered via catmail to coordinate how to take care of him. It's silly and weird. Awkwardness and feelings happen.

    Summary

    This is what happened: years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her.

    It happens, sometimes.

    People disappear.

    But years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her. Then, they thought that they might have found her again – because Rumi was everything they once had, because she was the third hunter, because her soul was bound to theirs like they were to each other.

    They never asked, in the end.

    What had happened that made the other woman slip away like she did.

    But it never did feel completely right, after, despite everything. Because Rumi was there but she also wasn’t, because she laughed and joked with them but never quite fully, because she would lean into their touch sometimes and then shrink away from it the next moment. Because she had walls all around her, and rarely, if ever, took them down.

     

    Rumi had always been scared of something.

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (Or: the bond between the hunters tells them of each others emotions, each others pain. Rumi, naturally, decides that her sins are hers alone to carry, that she cannot burden the other two with them. But such secrets rarely stay hidden.)

    Summary

    She wished she could be sitting with the girls, eating dinner, laughing and crying about what a mess this day had become.

    She wished she could apologize for not being fast enough, press her forehead to the cracked wooden floor and plead for them to forgive her.

    The starved animal at her core whined and thrashed.

    She wished she could be normal.

    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.
