    Summary

    Rumi asks Celine if hunters kill all demons. Celine does not say, “No." She does not say that the hunters will spare the half-demon, even if she has patterns, because she is Rumi and she is a person.

    Celine says, “Cover those up,” and says “You are not like them Rumi.” She tells Rumi that she only has patterns because her dad was a demon and the Gold Honmoon will erase them. Neither of them says that Rumi is not a demon.

    Celine says, ‘You can be fixed’ and Rumi hears ‘You can be spared, if you are fixed.’

    What Celine tells her is she is different from them, but not different enough.

    Summary

    “Why bring her to me?” She was not a savior, she was a monster. Every day she carried the broken pieces of stone birds into her temple and mended them with clay and twine. The few animals she kept have had their sight removed, yet they nuzzled into her hand all the same. Her garden flourished, because it could not see the cruelty of the face of the one who tended to it. The island had been pristine when she had found it. Alive. Thriving.

    The Nereid only tilted her head, sea-weed dark hair sliding wetly across her shoulders and throat. “Her quest was to find you.”

    “Find me?” She scoffed. “People find me for one reason only.”

    “To kill you?” grinned Zoey. It was a feral thing, revealing rows of serrated teeth. The illusion of a beautiful woman suddenly replaced by something wild, something dangerous. How apt.

    She shook her head morosely. “To die.”

    OR
    The Greek Mythology AU where Rumi is Perseus, sent to slay Mira as Medusa, but Zoey, daughter of the ocean, is tired of tragedies, and manipulates fate just enough to get something entirely different. This is a tale of how three women find each other despite their destinies, and build a love strong enough to defy the gods.

    Summary

    It doesn’t know exactly when it started to understand.

    At some point, when it’s maybe fifteen, it wonders—because it’s not as if it doesn’t hear people calling it “she” pretty much every day. Hadn’t it heard that as a kid as well? Even when it didn’t really interact with anyone, when it was too young to be around people, when there wasn’t really anyone talking about it. So it’s not like anyone has ever actually called it “it,” even though that’s what’s accurate since it isn’t a she. It can’t be—because it isn’t human. It’s a demon. It’s a monster.
