    Summary

    “It definitely hot in here” Zoey chimed in as Mira walked in, not seeing that Rumi was trailing behind her.

    “Now it’s even hotter”

    Or

    Rumi needs some roommates, and the restaurant Mira and Zoey work at needs a new sever. But how does that all fit together, can they all fit together. And they were co-workers, roommates… something like that for the history books

    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Summary

    A collection of loosely connected Polytrix stories set in the same general canon compliant timeline. Most of the series is set after they've already gotten together but some might be pre-relationship or even pre-movie.

    They're written so they can can be enjoyed independently and in any order, but sometimes there might be a joke or reference to an event in a different fic in the series.

    Fluff, angst, and lots and lots of thirst.

    Summary

    Mira has worked at Sunlight Scoops for upwards of two months now, and if someone put a gun to her head and told her to name three things about Rumi, she could maybe give them two:

    1. Rumi worked at Sunlight Scoops
    2. Rumi was absolute shit at small talk

    (Zoey and Mira get jobs at an ice cream parlor and cannot figure out why their manager can't talk to them.)

    Summary

    No, that… that can't be it. If it's been here, like this, the whole time, she would've known. She would've understood. She would've…

    Wouldn't she?

    ---

    Rumi is still figuring out how to live in a world where she isn't constantly under pressure... and, as it turns out, safety comes with processing. And processing comes with mental breakdowns and triggers she had no idea existed.
