Summary
“I might have told them… that I’m dating someone.”
Zoey’s face scrunches in confusion, “What? Why? You’re not dating anybody at the moment- Wait,” Zoey gasps, eyes going wide, “Are you dating someone??” she shouts.
“No, no! That’s the problem,” Mira leans in, hushing herself into a whisper-shout after catching looks from the other students around them, “I just blurted out that I’m only interested in women and that I have a girlfriend, and I want them to meet.”
“You said you want them to meet??”
“Yeah.”
“…Who??”

Summary
"Promise you won't make fun of me?" she asks, voice nearly cracking as her lip quivers.
Mira cups Zoey's cheek and brushes away a tear with her thumb. She leans in and kisses her cheek, then her forehead, then her nose. That gets a giggle out of her.
Mira whispers, like a prayer meant not for any higher power, just the two of them, "I promise."

Now all Zoey sees when she closes her eyes is Rumi slumped by the tree, blood spilling from her neck, her patterns dull and lifeless, just like her eyes.

Summary
he’s rumi. he was rumi before, and he is still rumi now.
rumi who cut his hair and finally sees himself in the mirror, for once not hating what he sees.
rumi who likes being called prince and handsome because it makes him feel strong and capable of protecting those he loves.
rumi who wears confidence like a second skin, who wears his clothes and not the other way around.
rumi who gets to choose how to live & gets overwhelmed by how simultaneously easy and hard it is, the burden of choice.
rumi who holds mira's longer hands and rumi who hugs zoey's small waist. a rumi who's grown into himself.
a rumi who loves and who is loved right back.
rumi & gender, a love letter to seeing yourself in the mirror and know that's you. it can only ever be you.

Wasn't originally gonna publicly bookmark this because it gave me feelings that I will not be addressing lol but this is a very good fic, and clearly has had quite the impact on me given how often I come back to it. Feels real without being heavy, and full of fluffy goodness that I will never be ashamed to admit that I love. Fully recommend.

Summary
Zoey starts to move and Rumi, familiar with how she telegraphs her movements, knows she’s seconds away from lunging at Mira's father. Mira grasps her wrist like a lifeline.
“Please don’t,” she murmurs. Zoey stands down as he exits the room. “I just want to get through the next day so I can never talk to any of these assholes again.”
Rumi and Zoey share a look over Mira’s head, the thirst for vengeance crackling in the air between them. This is not over.
---
At her grandmother's wake, Mira learns that her family intends to withhold the only heirloom she cares about - a book of recipes her grandmother promised her. Zoey and Rumi plot their revenge in secret while trying to support Mira and avoid a confrontation with her family.Series

I absolutely love this fic. It feels like it was written and edited with care and thought. The story feels very tight, and the characters are on point. It feels like this story is part of a bigger world, with the characters having feelings and experiences outside of this contained storyline, while also being very focused, and I love that feeling. Makes it feel real. A good night read before bed. Highly recommend.

Summary
Rumi was dead.
It wasn’t a new concept for her. She’d been dead for almost five years now. But something was different. Two new residents had moved into her home. While Rumi wasn't upset with the change in her routine, she now had to deal with something completly unexpected.
One of them had seen her.
Now, Rumi was determined to learn everything about her new living roomates to figure out if it was a one time thing, or if she would finally have someone that could help her figure out how she really died. And it didn't hurt that both of them were really hot.
or
An AU where Rumi is a ghost in the house that Mira and Zoey move into, and they try to help her solve her murder while also falling in love.

An incredible first chapter. I hope the author is working on chapter 2. I will be reading when it drops (manifesting by tagging it as a longfic, but honestly even just the first chapter is good by itself).

A very interesting look into TransMasc Rumi. Every scene has my heart aching, always for a different reason. Love how the girls handle it, too.

Summary
She laughed, bitter and hollow. “Sardonic, isn’t it? Three people in a generation who can interact with the Honmoon, and one of them is defective.”
Silence again—but this one cracked differently. Rumi’s reply came sharp, like a blade drawn without hesitation.
“Don’t you dare talk about replacing yourself. Is that what you think?” Rumi asked, incredulous. “That we’ll just throw you away like yesterday’s practice gear because you’re hard to handle? Do you know how stupid that sounds? To me?”

I first heard about this fic on twitter as an AU prompt, and was waiting for Nox (or anyone really) to write it, and I am not disappointed at all. An engaging concept treated with the care and tact it deserves. I will happily come back to this fic over and over again.
