    Summary

    There was a princess.

    There is a beast.

    Nine years after Honmoon Palace fell to a mysterious foe, Kang Mira and Choi Zoey live under the ruthless thumb of the Kang merchant family risen to power with the absence of the ruling Ryu Clan. Zoey, the sweet half-blooded outsider, and Mira, the headstrong and wayward daughter of the Kangs, escape Honmoon Village in fire and blood to leave behind the cold venom of cruel words and coerced obligations. They flee for the ruins of Honmoon Palace, hoping the tales of ghosts and other unearthly creatures will be enough to deter their angry pursuers.

    They don't expect the rumours to hold a grain of truth in them. A terrifying beast roams the palace grounds—the very one alleged to have brought an end to the Ryu line—but it doesn't attack or chase them away. Surrounded by strange magic and a cagey beast, Zoey and Mira plot their next move and ready to leave.

    And the Beast will let them. She must.

    For who could ever love a beast?

    Based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991).

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Zoey cut in meekly. “I’m just trying to understand—”

    Rumi whirled to face her, and she flinched back. “I’ve explained this to you before. We have insects that are pests and we have insects that are beneficial. If we let the pests live, they do damage, so we kill them. It doesn’t matter if it’s alive—all of them are alive, but some of them need to die.”

    A study of Rumi and bugs.

    Summary

    Secrets mean that she's still safe. That she hasn't ruined her only chance at fixing herself yet.

    So when Rumi begins having less-than-appropriate thoughts about her bandmates, it's just another thing she adds to the shelf.

    They were nothing more than intrusive thoughts at first.

    Everyone gets those. Who hasn't accidentally imagined their friends in a sexual context at least once? It happens, and she knows it doesn't mean anything. Mira and Zoey are objectively incredibly attractive, it can easily be explained as a completely normal compulsion.

    So life goes on. Things are normal, and every now and again Rumi thinks about fucking her friends.

    Summary

    “i do want to,” she declares. “it’s just that…”

    a beat of silence passes.

    “just that what?” mira asks.

    it’s just that you’re my two exes and this should be weird because what kind of person enjoys hooking up with their ex lovers oh and also i just realised i never really got over either of you properly so this is even weirder and am i a freak for secretly enjoying this i mean who does that like seriously i must be diseased and also did i mention that i’m totally still in love wi—

    or,

    the one where rumi sulks about being dragged to a party, sulks even more when she realises who's there, and then sulks a little less by the end of the night.
