    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

    There was a princess.

    There is a beast.

    Nine years after Honmoon Palace fell to a mysterious foe, Kang Mira and Choi Zoey live under the ruthless thumb of the Kang merchant family risen to power with the absence of the ruling Ryu Clan. Zoey, the sweet half-blooded outsider, and Mira, the headstrong and wayward daughter of the Kangs, escape Honmoon Village in fire and blood to leave behind the cold venom of cruel words and coerced obligations. They flee for the ruins of Honmoon Palace, hoping the tales of ghosts and other unearthly creatures will be enough to deter their angry pursuers.

    They don't expect the rumours to hold a grain of truth in them. A terrifying beast roams the palace grounds—the very one alleged to have brought an end to the Ryu line—but it doesn't attack or chase them away. Surrounded by strange magic and a cagey beast, Zoey and Mira plot their next move and ready to leave.

    And the Beast will let them. She must.

    For who could ever love a beast?

    Based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991). Updates every Sunday!

    Summary

    At the very bottom of the page, the second-to-last listing catches her eye.

    Ryu Rumi, local lumberjack: happy to help and willing to haggle!

    Zoey clicks on the linked website and squints at one of the most atrociously designed webpages she’s ever seen, like something out of the early 2000s. In a way, though, the lack of polish is kind of a good sign.

    Enough of a sign for Zoey to go “eh, fuck it” and dial the number.

    Or: Alpha Zoey is a camp counselor ready to wrap up the end of the season when her camp gets hit by a wild summer storm. Searching for professional help to clear the debris, she stumbles upon a listing online for Ryu Rumi, a flirty lumberjack who can provide exactly what Zoey needs (and maybe a little more).

    Summary

    Mira is the new teacher in school, and Rumi already hates her.

    Dealing with her snarky comments in the teachers' lounge, to the way she shows up randomly to give Rumi another snarky comment about her eating habits, Rumi refuses to indulge in Mira's attempts at friendship.

    Or Mira's attempts to grow closer in more ways than one.
