Summary
Rumi’s rule was simple: Survive. With a three-year-old daughter, a baby on the way, and an ex who vanished, she has no time for anything but work and her Graphic Design degree. Rumi lives on the edge, trying to balance the chaos of being a single mom with the pressure of an uncertain future.
Mira’s rule was clear: No complications. Owner of Seoul’s most famous tattoo studio, she values precision and control. Mira has no patience for the mess of other people's lives and lives only for her art.
When the worlds of these two artists collide, the impact is immediate and negative. It’s hate at first sight—an encounter defined by judgments and tension. But in a city where the paths of design and ink constantly cross, they soon realize that running from each other isn’t an option. Now, they must discover that life doesn't always follow straight lines and that, together, they can draw their best contour.

Summary
The last note rang out of her throat, swallowed immediately by roaring applause and– it left Rumi… cold. Not uncomfortably so, just not warm. Her heart rate had abruptly slowed, evened out to something that was barely noticeable. She smiled out at the crowd because she knew she should be. Turning back to her girls she smiled at them too, barely contained excitement visible in their eyes.
The moment they were off stage, Mira and Zoey began cheering.
"Did you see that!?", Zoey screamed. "Gold! It's gold! It's still gold, oh my GOD!"
"We did it", Mira was saying breathlessly. "We like, actually did it."
"Do you know what this means, Rumi!?", Zoey screamed, grabbing Rumi's shoulders and shaking her. Rumi got the sense that she should have been laughing.
The honmoon is successfully sealed golden and Rumi feels… fine. Maybe not quite fine. Maybe Rumi feels nothing at all.
A very serious AU about fucking Rumi silly.

Summary
"So," The store clerk starts, raking her gaze over Zoey like she's trying to put together a puzzle but is convinced that half of the pieces she has are wrong. "a farmer… huh?"
"Wha- I- guh- dnt- I can farm!" Zoey splutters, defensive.
The pink-haired woman just arches an infuriatingly perfect brow, a smirk starting to pull at one side of her mouth.
"Right. Because all farmers know that when the growing season starts the first thing they need to buy is three twelve packs of Monster."

It watches from the treeline, eyes glinting a primal, warning tone. It hasn't moved, not since Zoey spotted it, but Zoey gets the feeling thats intentional. Like it's daring her, waiting for her to make a decision and strike.

A Stardew Valley AU, but not quite in the way you think

Summary
After escaping her former alpha, Zoey had no intentions of ever trying for a mate again. Nudges from her new friends and a bored night, however, draws her to a local club. She had no intentions of meeting the two hottest alphas she's ever seen. And she certainly had no intentions to go home with them. Or to fall head over heels for them.
The problem isn't the night. It's the morning. It's harder to ignore their scars when daylight shines on them. And Zoey finds herself swept up in far more than she ever bargained for.

Summary
Rumi had been a mistake from the moment she was conceived. Life was not something she deserved to enjoy, and must instead live through her own pain and misery. Coming to terms with a life filled with suffering and mundanity had been her only plan, entirely ready to take what she deserves.
Her life begins to change into something she does not know how to handle, and the people in her around are strangely committed to making a difference for her.

Or Rumi is severely traumatized and I want her to experience life and love properly.- Language:
