Summary
It’s kind of funny, actually. With Mira and Zoey coming out telling her that they’re dating each other (which Rumi is very happy for them, truly) it sort of helps Celine and Rumi mend their own relationship.
It would be funny, if it wasn’t so fucking sad.

Summary
Music is their job, and while Celine understands one can get sick of the things you love out of sheer exhaustion, she also knows that rediscovering the joy of just doing something not because you have to but because you want to, is something very special.
Like breathing deeply and fully after a while of not being able too. It’s refreshing and grounding.
It might also help her daughter to not become a ticking time bomb of emotions. Fuck knows that didn’t end up well for Celine herself.

Summary
“The good and the bad, pretty or ugly”, Celine had told her. Everything she feels, to put it on music.
It’s a language she spoke so easily, of course she had tried it before. Zoey is not the only one with notebooks full of scattered lyrics, just waiting to be added to a melody and turned into a song.
Rumi is just not sure how ready she is, herself, to look her feelings in the face and claim them so publicly.
She doesn’t have to release whatever she makes, not necessarily. But what is music for, if not for sharing?
And after she already dropped one song. What are a few more?

And your heart, love, has such darkness (I feel it in the corners of the room) by Racoon_Knight

Summary
Celine had talked to Rumi about stress responses when she started to ask to accompany her on hunts. Demanded, more exactly. Almost begged, if she wanted to get technical.
[...]
“There are four,” she had said, slumped on one of the dining room chairs, stitching her own thigh while she spoke. Their very complete med kit was on the table, and Rumi was helping as much as Celine could let her. “Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn… We’re only focussing on three of those for now”

Summary
Things have been good, for all of the HUNTR/X girls. Great, even! Rumi hadn’t been so at ease since… ever, at least in recent memory.
Does she feel like this is maybe too good to be true? Yeah, kinda.
Does she care? … At the moment, not really. Maybe she should.

Summary
Like a self fulfilled prophecy, the other shoe had indeed dropped.
Rumi just hadn't expected to be like this.
She did imagine it might be her fault though.
