    Summary

    It's Thursday.

    Rumi and Zoey's scheduled date night.

    The one they typically spend here because Zoey tends to have meetings downtown on Fridays, so sleeping over at Rumi and Mira's cuts their morning commute by half.

    She shouldn't be here, standing in Rumi's doorway, breath hitched, watching her girlfriend get eaten out by her other partner.

    She needs to walk away.

    …Right?

    Summary

    She starts forward and then stops herself with a jerk.  Beatrice is an adult, Beatrice can handle herself, Beatrice could probably lay out everyone in this train car without displacing a single hair on her head, and Ava is the mess that dragged her out of her life.  Beatrice doesn’t need Ava to save her, doesn’t need saving at all when it comes to a charming-looking hot guy with wavy hair and a good smile, but then he leans closer to Beatrice and Ava feels the halo flare in her back and stomps over, slings her arms around Beatrice, hooks her chin over her shoulder.

    Summary

    "Have a nice life, Rumi," Zoey says ultimately. "Your five minutes are over."

    Rumi feared it might come to this. She didn't really deserve anything better. Still, she pulls the final trick up her sleeve out from the pocket of her jeans. The box is velvet beneath her finger tips. She takes one knee in the center of Zoey's kitchen and flips the top to reveal the diamond ring sitting in a silk bed.

    "Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me," Zoey breathes in absolute shock. "Rumi, stand up. Right now."

    "Zoey—" Rumi swallows against the lump in her throat. "I know—I know you really, really don't like me. And I—And I get that but if you won't forgive me at least let me do this for you—"

    "Rumi, I'm so serious. Stand up! What are you doing? Is that a ring real?" Zoey's voice pitches high enough to ring just on the edge of unpleasant but still Rumi remains steadfast.

    "Will you marry me before I deploy?" Rumi rushes out in a tremulous breath.

    Summary

    “I was told I would be able to meet with the chef this afternoon,” Beatrice says, as politely as she can manage. She’s meant to start working tomorrow and she hasn’t even met the executive chef yet, outside of traded emails where she was swayed by the promise of full autonomy into leaving her position as pastry chef at one of the only restaurants in the city with three Michelin stars for a fledgling fusion tapas joint sandwiched between a pierogi stand and a vape shop on the lower east side that got an upstart Michelin star in its first year of operation.

    Summary

    "Cece?" Rumi asked, twisting the deep blue thread which lead from her pinky to Celine's in her grasp. "What do all the colors mean?"

    Celine paused her work, something with a computer Rumi didn't understand. She was starting to figure that out, there were many things she didn't understand. But that just meant she had more questions to ask, and Celine would always answer them.

    "This one-" Celine tugged at their shared thread. "Means you are family to me. It means I love you."

    "Oh." Rumi didn't need a thread to tell her Celine loved her. "What do all the others mean?"

    Or. A strings-of-fate soulmate AU, except Hunters are a bit weird
