It’s a doozy folks! Two smutty scenes, the fallout of Celine walking into the house and finding Zoey there, plus Mira comes back from the conference!

^^^^ Celine looks like a wet cat in this whole chapter.

Rumi is pop star royalty, daughter of two Sunlight Sisters. She already has contracts waiting for her to launch a solo career if she wants to but she is struggling with self worth because despite having an amazing voice, she isn’t really into being a nepo baby. The good thing is she is still fairly unknown so she decides she needs to try a little normalcy.

She decides to go to college and stay in a dorm, where she meets her roomies - Zoey, studying music to be a lyricist and Mira, studying dance and choreography.

Things clearly start to bloom between them and Rumi is scared that revealing who she really is will cause them to see her differently. After all, when you’re famous, you don’t know if people love you for what you can give them or for who you truly are. Unfortunately, she has had a bad experience with this with her ex, Jinu, who used her to make the connections to create his boyband before unceremoniously dumping her.

Because she cares about them, she has actually been trying to help them. She has been working with Zoey to write songs and has gotten Mira to do choreography. She has sneakily recorded it all and forwarded it to her people - who are thrilled. At first, she entertained the idea of just hiring them for her solo career as she feels energized and is starting to love music again thanks to the girls’ help. But slowly, in the back of her mind, she feels, no the WANT, to share the stage with them instead of relegating them to the background.

Of course it all changes, when Jinu gets a hold of one of the tracks and essentially stole and release it because he thought they were just samples of Rumi’s and he knew he had a hold on her that she would just either let it go or he would force her into a collaboration. Their label would demand they play nice.

Of course it forces Rumi’s hand because what other explanation can be made to Zoey and Mira when Zoey’s lyrics and Mira’s choreography is now hitting charts via a boyband.

It’s a mess, it’s polytrix love and can someone please write this?

I want angst, I want slow burn, I want love babyyyy.

Everything around Rumi was sucked into background noise as she walked down the street of what was going to be her house–maybe home–for the next chapter of her life. Her black, sleek car was parked a few steps behind, and her life–neatly arranged inside boxes–felt like a buzz with more protagonism in the scene than the rapid beat of her heart. Her whole life, everything that’d followed her through the waves and storms she’d navigated through; either forgotten in a house that felt too much, or tightly packed inside a moving box that seemed to mock Rumi’s sentimentalism with its own casualty.

Everything felt like the exact parallelism of her life a few days before, while also behaving like an antonym.

Finally and mindlessly, Rumi’s steps took her to the door of her new apartment.She’d found it with what she’d declared the last use of her family’s… well, everything. Asked the butlers to go find her roommates that went to the same university, and they’d clearly done the work, because here she was.

Rumi breathed, in and out, like the media training had taught her, and raised a shaky hand to the doorknob. She tried to open it, as if the door were to recognize her, as if keys were just a social construct. Realizing how embarrassing that’d been and muttering underneath her breath–am I an idiot why did I do that why ever why how when who what–she tried knocking at the door instead. Tried, because she couldn’t do it before a girl with self made bangs and space buns opened the door.

Literally, keep going!

I am here for it!

Because the label, who was responsible for her mothers’ fame (Sunlight Sisters) is like - we really don’t want any fighting but Rumi is like - it’s me or HIM. The label wants to choose Jinu because he actually has a boyband already and they won’t take Rumi seriously because they think she won’t leave because she is a legacy and the label was handing her everything to make sure she is successful.

Rumi is like surprise motherf*ckers, I’m out and then she LAWYERS UP herself, Zoey and Mira and go after Jinu and the label for plagiarism. (Her moms are supportive. Duh.) It’s a PR nightmare for the label.

Rumi ends up getting into contact with a smaller label, run and managed by our collective Dad, Bobby. She convinces Zoey and Mira to form Huntr/x and they release some songs - a diss track of Jinu and his boyband and the song Jinu stole in its original form.

Jinu and the label are mad so they leak all the content that Rumi sneakily recorded. Jinu goes on interviews claiming Rumi gave him the track and essentially he is trying to make her look bad.

Huntr/x simply releases a polished version of the leaked content and the publication of texts from Jinu after Rumi found out he stole an entire song. The ones where he treated Rumi condescendingly, especially threatening her to say something and smugly claiming the label will protect him in the same way it protected him when he cheated on her.

The backlash was swift. There are lots to talk about.

Any fic that makes me cry and gives me the incurable sadness is literally my soul jam.

I swear I’m actually a decent person outside of these creative and artistic outlets. I think these dark things are great reminders that things are fleeting and to cherish what you have.

zoey tying rumi up for the first time shibari style, talking low and slow to her, lots of praise and lots of kisses, teasing, and groping throughout

rumi who can't even speak she's both so aroused by what's going on and nervous. she wants to be a good little sub for her partner (zoey is def a verse) and she glows with each tightening of the rope against her body. all of them knowing she's playing along to a perfect script because since accepting her demon half she can easily snap her way out of the rope

Mira is there as the only person that Zoey allows to tie HER up but THEY are actually casual lovers that haven’t quite figured out what they mean to each other.

Rumi accidentally walks into a private session of Mira tying up Zoey but instead of it becoming weird, Zoey asks Rumi to stay and watch. It becomes a thing - Zoey tying Rumi with slow burn seduction but no actual sex and Zoey asking Rumi to come watch Mira tie her up. Every time it happens, the temperature cranks up and the sexual tension just gets thicker.

Oh Zoey hands down. She probably grew up with video games while Rumi and Mira didn’t at all.

Mira tries to overcome this by playing very aggressively but that’s not how Mario party works. She’s very competitive and is kinda a sore loser so she MUST be kissed when she loses.

I feel like Zoey is either Yoshi, Kirby or Toad depending on her mood and Mira just brings chaotic energy as Wario or Bowser.

They have to keep calling Bobby to replace their TV because Mira keeps throwing the Switch remote at the TV because Zoey is a little shit and keeps stealing her stars.

This as the background for the montage:

my love for her does not break—

though i do,

over and over,

in the quiet where her absence hums.

she is all porcelain grace:

a ballerina balanced on the thinnest wire,

spinning flawless illusions

in the breathless dark.

she is butterfly wings—

gossamer, untouchable—

but i have learned

that silk can cut,

and soft hands can wound

without ever closing into fists.

once, i brushed the edges of her—

barely a touch—

and something shattered.

not her.

never her.

she only smiled,

poised in the ruin she left behind,

as i splintered silently beneath her gaze.

i wonder how it is

to dance so weightless

upon the bones of those
