    Summary

    "Two days of trailing after him on the road to the fortress, and Akemi needed a new angle. What hadn’t she tried, at this point? What else could she say?

    And then, it came to her: oh, right. He’s a man."

    AU where the Tokunobu guards don't snatch Akemi from the aftermath of the battle with the Thousand-Claws, and she decides she's joining Mizu on the road to the fortress. Mizu would un-decide that, but Akemi Will Not be giving in so easily.

    Summary

    Rumi knew she’d been standing on the sidewalk staring at the doorway long enough for it to be creepy, but she couldn’t help it.
    It wasn’t that the doorway in question was itself daunting or anything; it was just a typical glass door, for a business that sat tucked away on a side street on the outskirts of Seoul. It was even sitting on the sunny side of the street as the day gently rolled over from morning to noontime, making the small chalkboard ‘welcome’ sign hanging inside it gleam all the brighter.
    No, the part that was giving Rumi pause was what laid beyond the door. And the potential it had to change...everything.
    Was she ready? Really ready?
    ...No.
    Not really.
    But she was also sick and tired of not being ready, so whatever she was now would just have to do.
    ***
    Rumi walks into a tattoo parlor in Seoul wanting to cover up the scars she gave to herself and reclaim a bit of her life.
    She winds up getting a lot more than she bargained for when she meets the two attractive women who run the place and decided they want a piece of her life as well.

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.
