love can't make you strong (until love can make you weak) by Barrhorn, cloudlines

Summary
Honestly, Mira can’t even imagine Rumi singing this with anyone else. It feels almost spontaneous, and yet inevitable, the give and take, the way they orbit around each other. Rumi was magnetic before, but with Zoey next to her it’s like her aura redoubles; Mira can feel how the crowd thrills with every teasing smile sent their way.
Zoey too fills the stage. Rumi’s reacting to her as much as she’s leading, and Zoey’s grin borders on something almost triumphant as they jostle shoulders and Rumi gives way to her. They’re singing to each other, they’re singing to the crowd, they’re—
They’re singing to her and oh, the attention is addictive.
Or: in which Mira falls in with married couple Rumi and Zoey and doesn't realize how far that is to fall.

Summary
Zoey learns that when things are far away enough, there’s a point where it doesn’t matter so much exactly how far they are. Alpha Centauri is four and a quarter lightyears away from Earth; Burbank is nine thousand five hundred kilometres away from Seoul; Rumi’s house is five hundred metres away from Zoey’s old house.
Zoey’s new house might as well be on Alpha Centauri. Because either way, Zoey can’t walk to Rumi’s house anymore. Zoey can’t see her in school anymore. Zoey can’t see her—
“It’s the same hemisphere,” Rumi says, quietly. Her eyes don’t go with her smile. “So we’ll see the same stars.”
Or: Childhood friends zoerumi fall back into orbit.

fifty first dates (a little more or less) by cloudlines

Summary
“—we’ve technically done like ninety percent of these already as like, hangouts,” Zoey groans.
“So you’ve got ten percent new ones. Which means, what, at least a dozen options?” Mira’s voice is all raised eyebrow and cool and calm and not wrong, but.
“Fifteen. But they’re all kinda—either they’re really two-people things,” like going to an Italian place with outdoor tables and candles and doing the cross-table spaghetti thing from that cute classic dog movie, which feels like it’d be hard to get a triangle going for, “or really hard to schedule,” like what if we kissed on a beach in Western Australia exactly under the peak 22nd July 2028 solar eclipse and we were all girls, “or meh.” Like doing that 500-piece puzzle Bobby gave us one time that’s farming dust bunnies in the closet, sorry Bobby—
“You’re doing a lot more second-guessing on this than usual.” Rumi’s fingers comb through Zoey’s still-loose hair.
“It’s just, you only get one First Date. One shot! That’s it. So it’s gotta be a standout one!”
(or: post-Idol Awards, Zoey tries to pin down the ideal First Date; Rumi and Mira lend a hand with reminiscing on Not-Dates. A series of shorts.)

Summary
“It’s just,” Haru sighs, “they’re very—big, aren’t they?”
“Wanna be a whale. Whales don’t’ve to do like. College,” Ryuji mumbles.
“Hey, ocean’s full of Secrets.” Ann hums. “Could be secret whale college—somewhere.”
“Bet s’where Moby Dick got smart. Whale Yale.”
(a small collection of silly-to-serious, mixed gen/shuake drabbles)

soft revolution by Barrhorn, cloudlines

Summary
“Melog chirps longingly. Catra makes a sound that is definitely nowhere near the same thing--because that would be embarrassing--catches herself in the middle of it, and sighs.
“--I think it is a good time to be seen, says Melog.”
Or: Melog pulls Adora out of a meeting; Catra plays hard to get; Adora takes a cat nap. It’s gay. [post-S5 fluff]

from a rose on the grey (and if i should fall, will it all go away?) by ev09

Summary
Celine’s office has always smelt of calm: of wood polish, paper and ink, the bergamot of her perfume. It’s always been a place Rumi has associated with tranquility. Granted, Rumi hasn’t been in here often. She’s spent all sixteen years of her life thus far in the hanok and she can count on her fingers the number of times she’s been summoned to the office. Only for important matters.
This is an important matter. It is also very much not tranquil.
Rumi stands beside Celine, seated at her desk, and observes the two girls sitting across from her.
This is them. This is them.

Summary
The gloves are exactly the right size when she’s eight, and a little small at ten. Age eleven, the first chill breeze slinks through the garden with dead leaves in its mouth like a grey street cat, unbidden, proudly feral. Rumi can’t get her gloves on. The narrow bite of the opening tight around her knuckles.
It’s a silly thing to cry about but it feels—it feels—oh she doesn’t know.
Bad. A little bit. Maybe.

Summary
Akechi's had a good day, and Ren has had a bad one. He’s going to show up to their final meeting smiling and well-rested. He’s looking forward to it. This is going to be easy. It’s going to be fun.
The phone call comes just as he reaches Shibuya station. Akechi leans against the wall, shadowed by a pillar at the Ginza gate, as he takes it. “There’s been a change of plan,” says the man he loathes more than anyone else alive. “Stand by.”
