    Summary

    (Or as I like to call it, WAGG!Rumi)

    //

    Zoey and Mira have been best friends for five years and housemates for four and a half and life is good! Well... Mira's library section and work events are all smooth sailing, which she desperately needs because the rest of her life has been feeling rough. And Zoey? She likes working hard! Taking any and all opportunities that come her way! But it would be kind of nice to slow down sometimes. And to not be treated like she's expendable...

    Could finding a dog in the middle of a storm be the thing to fix everything? Probably not. But she's very cute, and weirdly clever, and they love her.

    Summary

    Rumi has been standing in front of the wooden gate for approximately ten minutes now, listening to Mira and Zoey bicker inside her house. This is so stupid. She could just take the leaves from the oregano plant from within her reach. It's right there.

    But Mira insisted that they had oregano inside and told Rumi to wait here. So she waits.

    "Zoey, how did you rearrange the spice cabinet?!"

    "By vibes!"

    "What does that even mean?!"

    Rumi hid her cough with her fist. She just needed one oregano leaf, not whatever these idiots were trying to give her.

    ~*~*
    In which Rumi doesn't know why her mothers keep asking her to ask for leaves from the new neighbors, but she does so anyway because she's a good daughter. Zoey and Mira fumble their chance with Rumi (or do they?) because they don't know their plants.

    or in which the author really projects their culture on Rumi and Celine.

    Summary

    “I don’t understand.” Finally, Zoey turned to look at her. Her eyes, usually so bright, now lacked even the glimmering sheen of tears. “I don’t — I don't understand. How is it that the second Rumi left, you left me too? I thought we were more than that, I thought—”

    “I didn’t leave you?” Mira took a step towards Zoey, utterly lost. “I would never leave you. Zoey, what’s going on?”

    Zoey just looked at her. Looked at her with that terrible, flat expression on her face, and said, “‘There is no we, Zoey. I don’t get to have a family.’”

    ***
    Gwi-ma may have been defeated, but the doubts he sowed never truly went away. Mira's confronted with this fact when she finds Zoey sitting alone on a rooftop in the middle of the night. She can't take back the things she said in her worst moment, and must contend with the pain she's caused and the pain she's in.

    Summary

    Everything is glowing and glittering and golden for a moment. Then, of course, something in the air shifts.

    or, the awkwardness of becoming something together before you really understand what together means.
