Summary
Yang was not poor. She refused to acknowledge it. She had her daily bread, she had clothes that weren't holey or dirty, and she had a roof over her head. But Yang was no fool. She hunted day and night, week after week; she hauled stone in town and trained horses for lords with better things to do- she worked for that bread and those clothes, and she never let herself forget that she and her father were the only things keeping her little sister comfortable; belly full of bread, cleaned shoes and dresses, and all the freedom that ignorant bliss can buy you.
Blake was not poor. She knew this like she knew how to chew; like she knew so thoroughly how to swallow; like she knew how to stomach despicability. Oh yes, Blake had it all, alright. She had gowns, and crowns, and gossamer ropes with which to practice her nooses. But Blake was no fool. Nor was she so desperate for reprieve that she'd stoop so low; being a prisoner of war in a foreign castle was one thing, it was another to be married to your captor. For all her supposed title should have granted her, and for having much... Blake had nothing. Nothing but her common sense. And her common sense told her to run.

Blake and Yang, Yang and Blake, BlakeandYang, YangandBlake—
No matter the photo, the view, it’s always them.
Though their circumstances do vary, people say they saw them with a child, others don’t, some say they’re happy and carefree, others swear they’re recovering from hell, but no matter the perspective—

Summary
Blake has never been one for panicking. She prides herself on keeping her emotions in check, on examining every angle of a problem before coming to a conclusion. She kept her cool when the military base had snuffed them out immediately. She stayed calm during the combat that ensued. She even stayed collected when they were falling hundreds of feet back down to earth after a hasty escape.
But now, looking at team JOYR’s aura stats? Seeing Oscar’s broken completely, and Yang almost joining him? She isn’t going to blame herself when her breathing starts to quicken as she sends Yang multiple messages, not getting a single one in return. Nor is she going to blame herself when she starts sprinting back to the hideout when she finally, finally gets a message from Jaune (not Yang, why can’t Yang message her?).

Summary
Based off of this prompt by shipsnthenight: Maggie’s aunt lives in Midvale, so Maggie has been living there since she was 14. She and Alex have been together since they were 16. Now it’s the end of senior year, Alex and Maggie are in Alex’s room. Alex is stuck writing the valedictorian speech while staring at her letter of admission to Stanford, while Maggie, who is going to be joining the miliary in 3 months, is messing around with her guitar waiting for her girl to be finished before they join the others (superfriends) on the beach where the fire is already going and the party to celebrate the end of senior year and Alex’s last amazing victory in a regional surfing competition is about to start. Alex is frustrated and crumples up her speech notes for the fifth time, Maggie then puts away the guitar and joins Alex on the bed. The girl is worried that they won’t be able to make it work long distance and is also scared to death by what could happen to Maggie, but there’s no way they’re splitting up, so they’ll have to find a way. So basically the rest of the story is going to be the 3 months of summer together, and the next however long years of Alex in college and Maggie in the military.
So anyway please enjoy.

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.

Summary
Rumi once heard that if the alpha was the beginning, the beta the middle, then the omega was the end.
She doesn't remember where, maybe some half-remembered scripture or idiom Celine had quoted, maybe somewhere in a book she had read. It was the kind of ancient wisdom that sounded profound the first time but never really stuck, not until you lived it.
Alpha, the first note.
Beta, the bridge.
Omega, the silence, the final note.
It wasn't until she met them that the words stopped being abstract, that the saying suddenly had faces, had meaning beyond theory.
OR
Secrets kept for protection become the thing that destroys. When Rumi's truth comes out during the mission to seal the Honmoon, the three of them are left standing in the wreckage with every wall down and every lie exposed. Now they have to figure out how to be a pack when isolation, control, and self-erasure are the only blueprints they have.

Summary
“ - t’sokay,” Rumi tries to assure Zoey, who's frantically hovering, but her words are slurred. “It only scratched me. I wasn’t bit.” Her back aches from where the werewolf had thrown her, but it’s nothing compared to the pain where its claws had ripped into her.
“Why’d you push me out of the way?” Zoey demands, and there is so much pain in her voice that Rumi wants to reach for her, but Rumi’s hand won’t do anything but twitch uselessly at her ruined side.
“Had to…” Rumi feels woozy, like she’s floating on a cloud, but she still manages a weak smile. “You were in danger… s’worth it…”
“Idiot,” Zoey sobs. “You’re such an idiot, Rumi.”
Rumi wants to laugh but it comes out like a cough, the sound thick and wet, as the red spills out past her smile in a rush.
Ryu Rumi was trained to be a Hunter just like her mother before her. Until one night a Hunt goes horribly wrong and Rumi becomes the very thing she had sworn to destroy.
Years since she fled Korea, Rumi firmly believes her past to be in the past.
Only she’s never been that lucky.

Summary
“‘We need to talk.’” She reads out loud, stabbing underneath each word scribbled on the board, before she whips her pointer behind her and begins pacing back and forth.
“This is not an emergency.” She assures firmly, pausing in her path to stare at her comrades. “But we need to respond with care.”
“How is this not an emergency!” Protests a squeaky voice and Leader Rumi sighs.
“Because it is literally just four words, Anxious Rumi.”
“But, those four words could lead to twenty more! Or a hundred more!”
--OR--
A glimpse inside Rumi’s mind.

Summary
"So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most"---
If Rumi said she’d always wanted Mira and Zoey to know about her patterns, she’d be lying.
When Celine suggested that Rumi officially become a Hunter at sixteen and start her own group, Rumi agreed instantly. When Celine warned Rumi about telling or showing her prospective group members about her patterns, Rumi agreed it was for the best that she keep it a secret. Besides, the patterns would be gone once they sealed the Honmoon, right? How long could that take, anyways?
It would take a while, actually, because Rumi forgot about the lead-up to a group’s debut.
OR: A deep-dive into KPDH canon where I attempt to extract every ounce of Rumi's angst known to man
