    Summary

    "They would die for you. It is only fair that you do this for them, don't you think?"

    Celine was right, she's always right. They would never love her if they knew _what_ she was. This. This is something she can do for them. Make sure they get stronger and stronger until they no longer need her.

    Celine wasn't hurting her, she was helping them.

    "So, will you keep fighting me or will you help me help them?"

    Celine's voice was soft, careful, soaked in tenderness. She just wanted what was best for them.

    How can Rumi say no?

    OR
    Growing up, Celine used Rumi as a test subject to try out new weapons against demons.
    The girls find out.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    Summary

    The door opened, before he could decide whether to be graciously accommodating, or brusquely dismissive. A smallish figure shambled in, more raincoat than man, with a mess of curls - mess being the operative word - and a sheepish expression. He looked to be somewhere between his late thirties and early fifties, but where, precisely, was unclear.

    “Ah, so sorry to bother you, I can see you’re busy, but, if I might just have a word with a Mr …” - the man surreptitiously checked a notebook, as if his failure of memory might somehow be hidden from plain sight - “Elias Bowtchard?”

    Summary

    There was the sound of the door shutting. A few footsteps.

    “She’s not here?” the voice asked.

    Zoey dropped her voice lower, almost conspiratorial. “No. She went out—probably won’t be back for, like… fifteen, twenty minutes.”

    A beat of silence. Then a quiet chuckle. “Good. Then I can steal you for a while.”

    There was a nervous little hiccup of laughter from Zoey. “Wait—don’t get too close, I’m still live—”

    “I’ll stay out of frame,” the voice promised, tone coaxing.

    The sound of a hand brushing fabric, then a soft shuffle—the mic catching the rustle as Zoey was pulled slightly sideways. A faint smack of lips meeting. Quick. Too quick to be mistaken.

    Chat slowed to a crawl.

    [ewhfjdjw;]: ???????

    [rumi4lifer]: wait…

    [sealoverfour45]: SHE DIDNT MUTE THE MIC OMG

    [wispawaymo]: that… that’s not Rumi’s voice???

    [qeusopullsafree]: YO WTFFFF

    [hollowjars]: no way no way no way

    or

    Zoey forgets to mute and her fans think she's cheating on Rumi but in reality she has another girlfriend (Mira) that they don't know about because she private.
