    Summary

    There’s a buzz on her phone. God, what now? If Mira has to deal with fucking PR or social media right now, she might actually explode. But she pulls her phone out of her pocket, and her heart sinks in her chest.
    No.

    “What is it?” Zoey asks.

    “Celine texted. She says we need to get out to the compound now.” She looks up at Zoey, watches the way Zoey’s eyes flick back and forth with worry. “It’s Rumi.”

    Summary

    “You agree, right? That they like me back?” Zoey asks.

    Derpy lets out a rumbling sound. Zoey still hasn’t pieced together what all of his growls and meows mean, but she’s pretty sure that one means Yes, Zoey, your friends definitely do like you back, and you should totally get them to kiss you.

    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

    The third time Zoey kisses a girl, she’s nineteen, and it definitely doesn’t mean anything.
    “This doesn’t mean anything.” Mira tells her, before pushing her against the wall and kissing her.

    Summary

    “I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.

    “Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.

    She freezes.

    It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.

    She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

    Summary

    “If you’re a ghost, and you’re still here, it means you haven’t passed on all the way.” Jules tells her. “And you’re sure you don’t see some sort of bright light? Any– angels, or anything?”
    Mika sneers. “Just you,” she says.

    //

    Jules’s new apartment is great, except for the fact that it’s haunted. And the fact that the ghost seems to be in denial about being dead.

    Summary

    Summary

    She and Mika said they are going to be friends. There’s been some vague discussions of ‘somewhere down the line’, which, she’ll admit, is something that makes her feel very excited, but for now, friends. She knows she’s not ready for anything more than that, not yet. Hence the compartmentalizing.

    She can do that. She can set aside any lingering romantic or sexual feelings she has for Mika and focus on just being friends. Besides, Mika might not end up moving to Chicago. This could all be a non-issue, really.

    Summary

    “You put things in my car and told me to follow your directions. We’re like, over an hour south of the city. For all I know you could be planning on killing me and ditching the evidence. I’m trusting you blindly out here,” Mika tells her.

    “We’re almost there,” Jules says, checking her phone again.

    Mika narrows her eyes. “Hey! You’re not denying any of that!”

    Mika discovers that if she says enough dumb stuff Jules will kiss her.

    Summary

    Mika. Mika Yasuda, the same Mika who Jules hadn’t seen in seven years, is now hovering next to Jules, her hair all mused from the pillow and her bare skin on display. And fuck, she looks really good, and her stomach is warm where it’s pressed against Jules, and her hair smells like lemon.

    Last night comes crashing back down into Jules. Seeing Mika, having sex with Mika, having lots of heartfelt confessions with Mika. Jules closes her eyes, rolling over and burying her face into the pillow. It’s too early for this.

    Summary

    It’s been two months since she officially moved to Chicago; two months of being around Jules at work every day, just like back in Seattle. She and Jules aren’t dating technically, or at least they’re not girlfriends; but they still spend a good amount of time together. They’re still working on rebuilding a friendship before they add anything else to it, which is a much healthier and more mature decision than a hook-up at a conference. Which they’re not ignoring, exactly, but they’re moving past it. They hang out multiple evenings every week and Jules has been spending her days off showing Mika the city and they eat lunch together most days. They don’t hold hands, and they definitely don’t kiss, or anything like that. Good, old-fashioned platonic friends, until they decide that they’re ready for something more. It’s completely fine, a boundary they both agreed on, and Mika is definitely not going crazy.

    Summary

    She’s honestly not expecting it when Jules walks on stage for the panel.

    She should have known. Or maybe she should have looked more closely at the brochure with its list of speakers. She knows that Jules has been working in Cardio, and has been doing research, and has been making big strides in her field. And it’s a Cardio conference, one of the biggest events of the year. So it’s not crazy that Jules would be here, or that she’d be presenting some of her case studies. But she figured that Jules was still in Seattle, and wouldn’t be coming all the way out to Miami for a three day conference.

    Which leaves Mika in the third row of the lecture hall, seeing her ex for the first time in seven years, and feeling totally unprepared.

    Summary

    Jules blinks open her eyes, and sees a messy tangle of dark hair resting on her chest, tucked under her arm. Mika, it seems, sleeps like a koala, and she’s attached herself to Jules like she’s climbing a tree. Jules has no complaints. She likes the warmth of Mika, pressed up against her. She likes the puffs of breath against her collarbone. She likes the sense of security and peace she feels, that she’s not sure she’s ever experienced when waking up next to another person.

    She tugs Mika even closer, pressing a kiss against her forehead. Because she feels a rush of affection for this girl, and for once, she doesn’t have to try to suppress it. It’s incredible, waking up next to her.

    Summary

    Mika watches as Jules shrugs, like she’s trying to be casual about it. It’s stupidly charming. “I know Chloe is staying at your place, and your roommates are… you know, the way they are. And Maxine has Mahjong tonight, so I’ll have the house to myself.”

    Mika crosses the locker room, approaching Jules slowly, getting into her space. To her delight, she watches as Jules’s gaze flicks down to Mika’s mouth. “Jules Millin, are you asking me out?” she teases.

    Jules doesn’t back down. She reaches out, tugging lightly on the cuff of Mika’s sleeve, urging Mika to come closer. Mika obeys. “I’m trying to cash in on that rain check,” she murmurs. Mika licks her lips. “If that’s alright with you.”

    Summary

    It was a fluke, Mika reminds herself. She doesn’t actually want to kiss Jules. Especially because Jules is straight, and Mika had just imagined things. Even if Mika wanted to kiss Jules (which, of course, she didn’t), there was no world where Jules would have wanted to kiss her back. It was a fluke, and Mika is going to move on. She just needs to talk to Jules and clear the air and then they can all move past this. And sure, it’s bound to be a humiliating conversation with Jules as the other girl reaffirms that she is, of course, straight, and, of course, not at all interested in Mika that way, but sometimes you’ve gotta rip the bandaid off to let the cut heal. Mika learned that at some point in med school, she’s pretty sure.

    Summary

    She inhales sharply. She’s suddenly ten times much more awake than she was ten seconds ago. Mika is asleep next to her, sprawled out on her back, and Jules is somehow wedged in the small space between Mika and the wall, and she’s started to seriously intrude on the other woman’s space. One of her arms is curled against Mika’s chest. Her other arm, which she’d been sleeping on, rests at her collar bone. Her leg is tucked onto Mika’s thigh.

    Jules’s heart rate starts to pick up.

    Summary

    She thinks, sometimes, that Annabeth is friends with her because Piper has no connection to Percy. When Annabeth looks at her other camp friends, like Will or Clarisse or Malcolm, she’s reminded of their friendships and histories with Percy. But Piper’s never met him; isn’t associated with him. So when Annabeth really needs to get her mind off of all things Percy, she finds Piper. And Piper finds that she doesn’t mind.

    Summary

    Admittedly, it’s been a bad day. Annabeth feels off her game, like there were clues presented to her that she didn’t even see. She should have figured out who Echidna was before the Chimera had gotten loose, she should have known her mother wouldn’t grant her sanctuary. And she should have known that Percy would try to be a stupid hero.

    Summary

    Maybe that makes you a coward. But there’s no way you could talk to her without apologizing, and there’s no way you’d be able to apologize without breaking down in tears, about how scared you were of losing Martha, at how mad you were at yourself for not paying better attention to your best friend, and how it really had nothing to do with Shelby but you just couldn’t allow yourself to be happy when Marty was hurting, hurting, hurting.

    Summary

    She’s wearing your t-shirt.

    That’s the first thing you notice as you step into the diving pavilion. It’s early, just after eight o’clock in the morning, and you were just rubbing the sleep from your eyes and thinking about how it was criminal that you have to wake up that early during the summer , when you look across the tables and see her sitting there wearing your shirt. It’s clearly yours, even though you all own the same obnoxiously orange one. This one she’s wearing is too big on her; a little too long, bunched around her waist. And on her arms, the sleeves go down almost all the way to her elbows. And you know how her camp shirts look on her; you’ve only been going to camp together for the better half of a decade at this point, and you’ve literally seen her grow into these shirts. And that one is yours.
