    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

     Six years since Rumi disappeared off the face of the Earth.

    Well, alright, maybe that was dramatic. Sure, she'd left with little warning, but there still was some. A short 10 minute conversation filled with yelling, screaming, cussing, and then she was gone. An uber. 3 suitcases, 2 eyes full of what Zoey remembered to be shame and pity, and one extremely broken family.

    --OR--

    The last thing married couple Zoey and Mira expected was a text from longtime ex and bandmate, Rumi.

    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.
