    Summary

    Agott hated parties.
    It wasn't something she liked as a child, but after what happened at her debut seven years ago, she tried to avoid parties with witches from the Great Hall or else the whispering would just get worse.
    But she knew there was no avoiding this one. It was tradition that witches their age and about to do their fourth test participate in the mingling, which the Wise of Teachings usually held. It felt rude to reject the invitation not only from one of the Wise but also from the man who taught her professor.
    So she and the girls accepted it. And she was starting to regret it.

    Summary

    In hindsight, it should have been obvious. The way Rumi refused to go to the bathhouse, her bizarre relationship with Celine, this whole thing with the Saja Boys? Mira prided herself on reading people, and she felt stupid for not seeing it sooner. The pieces were all there, just waiting to be put together.

    Rumi was gay.

     

    The night after the joint signing with the Saja Boys, Mira went to confront Rumi about her ongoing weird behavior. Instead of letting hurt feelings drive the conversation, Mira took a minute to try and figure out what might be wrong. Unfortunately, she came to the completely wrong conclusion.

    Misunderstandings ensue. They talk it out.

    For better or worse, everything changes.

    Summary

    Mira didn’t even know what she was waiting for. She told Zoey that they should wait, but wait for what, exactly?

    The thought of just coming up to Rumi and going, “Hey, we find your patterns sexy, wanna take off your clothes so we can admire it and maybe have a threesome?” was becoming more and more appealing by the day.

    But that wasn’t romantic, and it definitely wasn’t something that Mira would consider saying out loud at the risk of embarrassing herself in case Rumi found it weird.

    Or, Mira and Zoey's pursuit in finding out where Rumi's patterns lead.

    Summary

    (She thinks, once, that she might be lonely.)

    (It’s not a big deal.)

    (She has the Honmoon following her and the ghosts and sometimes Celine – and yes, she might feel lonely, still, but it’s not a big deal.)

    (There must be a reason why no one wants her around.)

    (Something other than just the patterns – only Celine knows of those. Maybe the ghosts. But no one else – so she knows that there must be some other reason, one that is really obvious to everyone else but hard to define, for her.)

    (It’s been there since forever.)

    (Maybe there is more ruined about her than just the patterns.)

    (Maybe there is another, deeper reason – the marks are merely on her skin, in her flesh, after all, but they do not reach her soul. Or do they? Perhaps, then, there is something rotten within her, something bad, something that screams at other people from a distance don’t come near me be careful hate me don’t you ever learn how to love me.)

    (She thinks it might be her destiny – to be lonely. There is no use crying over it.)

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (Or: Rumi, longing and loneliness, and all that remains after a life spent hiding.)

    Summary

    This is what happened: years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her.

    It happens, sometimes.

    People disappear.

    But years ago, Mira and Zoey had someone, and then they lost her. Then, they thought that they might have found her again – because Rumi was everything they once had, because she was the third hunter, because her soul was bound to theirs like they were to each other.

    They never asked, in the end.

    What had happened that made the other woman slip away like she did.

    But it never did feel completely right, after, despite everything. Because Rumi was there but she also wasn’t, because she laughed and joked with them but never quite fully, because she would lean into their touch sometimes and then shrink away from it the next moment. Because she had walls all around her, and rarely, if ever, took them down.

     

    Rumi had always been scared of something.

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    (Or: the bond between the hunters tells them of each others emotions, each others pain. Rumi, naturally, decides that her sins are hers alone to carry, that she cannot burden the other two with them. But such secrets rarely stay hidden.)
