    Summary

    “Do you know the hat rule, Rumi?”

    An eyebrow arched high, “The hat rule?”

    “The hat rule,” Zoey confirmed. There was a dramatic pause and Rumi was just about ready to whip out her phone and look it up herself before Zoey continued. “The hat rule used to just mean basic etiquette for wearing a stetson but now it basically means ‘if you wear a cowboy hat, you have to ride the cowboy. In your case, the cowgirl.”

    Rumi blinked slowly, her brain not fully connecting or short-circuiting. She wasn’t sure which one, “I’m sorry…what?”

    Zoey rolled her eyes and laughed.

    “It means Mira just told every person in this arena to back the fuck off because you’re hers.”

    Summary

    “Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”

    “Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”

    -

    Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.

    “Rumi. Rumi, no.”

    Rumi inched closer to the rail.

    “Rumi, please don’t.”

    Zoey’s foot moved.

     

    Rumi leapt.

    Aka, another version of ‘Mira and Zoey find out about Rumi's patterns in a different way’ but this one's ✨mine✨

    Summary

    The client hadn’t really requested anything at all; their emails had been almost overly polite, if not jarringly formal, and had selected only the most vanilla options on the questionnaire she provided. Certainly a far cry from the standard practices of her usual clientele, but this one had paid upfront and picked this expensive hotel, and Mira’s fees are dear enough on their own that she had been coloured intrigued. 

    Mira takes a left down the hallway after leaving the elevator and finds herself at the door to the room. She doesn’t steel herself—doesn’t need to. She can handle anything. Has handled most things. Mira swipes the keycard and lets herself in. 

    The person sitting on the bed is probably the last thing she expects.

    In which Mira is a professional, Rumi is socially inept, and Zoey is also there. Let's hope nobody catches feelings.

    Summary

    Her boot catches the edge of a tile—barely a slip, just a half step too short—and she stumbles.

    And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.

    “You lost your balance.”

    Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.

    “Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”

    The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.

    Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.

     

    OR
    basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond. but ofc Rumi has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused Rumi with a guise for improvement. (it gives mother gothel)
    The memories that haunt Rumi cause her to pull away, and the girls try to figure out why (and they succeed in a devastating way).

    *Zoey and Mira follow Rumi to Celine’s after the idol awards reveal (ch6)*
