Circling back to my thoughts that the Honmoon connects its hunters on a spiritual level, I feel like the girls would be able to hear each others songs and feel each others emotions through the Honmoon even before they met.
Imagine Zoey in middle school, crying in the backyard because her parents are fighting again and the bulling has gotten so bad that she's losing her spark. Thousands of miles away, Rumi and Mira feel a sudden sadness that they can't quite place. Rumi does what she always does when she's sad, and starts humming a lullaby that Celine taught her. Mira and Zoey both hear this almost ethereal noise, and they feel compelled to join it. Mira hums a deeper bass line, and Zoey starts a higher note. They harmonize for the first time without even realizing it. The Honmoon swells, and Celine sees it. She looks at Rumi, who's completely oblivious, still humming her song, and she knows that everything will work out.
Imagine Mira gets into a fight with her family in high school, and she slams her door shut with a force of anger. She screams into her pillow, the noise muffled to those in her house, but Rumi and Zoey both snap their heads up as they hear a cry of pain and anger. Zoey starts first this time, humming a pop song that's been in her head for weeks now. Rumi knows the words, and starts mumbling them under her breath for no apparent reason. Mira is suddenly surrounded by the sounds of some cheesy boy band song, and she laughs through her tears. She looks it up and taps her hands to the beat, swaying in her room as the sound of the music and the mysterious voices in her head melt together in a soft harmony.
Imagine Rumi, beat up after a rough hunt, just wishing she had her other halves with her. She's in pain, but more than anything, she's just so lonely. The sound through the Honmoon isn't music this time, it's soft sobs that hit Mira and Zoey like a physical blow. Their hearts ache with a loneliness they can't place, so they try everything to make themselves feel better. Mira remembers the beat of a lullaby she can't quite remember, so she starts humming a broken tune. Zoey recognizes it and fills in the gaps, the song coming to curl around Rumi like a blanket. It calms her down, and she can feel it in her bones that she'll be okay, that her other parts will be there soon. It's a song and a promise.
A few weeks later, Rumi is with Celine at the interviews for the other two spots on HUNTR/X. She's starting to get worried, since she hasn't found her soulmates yet. Then, one right after the other, Mira and Zoey come on stage. The second Rumi lays eyes on them, her soul seems to shift, interlocking with theirs in such a powerful way that she has to excuse herself for a minute. Celine notices, and calls both of them back in at the same time. When they see each other, Mira and Zoey feel their souls click into place as well. It still takes time for them to figure out how to be around each other, but they don't mind, because they're whole. Finally and truly whole.
I'm super tired, but I really liked this idea. I think it's a cute concept for a fanfic, but I probably won't be the one to write it, since I have like four that I'm working on right now.
