These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.
All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget
Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me
Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

Latina creole Zoey definitely has a cousin that is basically like her sibling(like an older brother estque figure) who roasts the shit out of her for years for pining after her bandmates.
Cousin: Bitch you have your own fan club, you terrorize your fans on social media by replying to their shipping posts, and you have more money than god. How the fuck are you still this nervous to ask anyone out?"
Zoey: Because they're my bandmates, my best friends and my roommates. I don't want to make things awkward ot weird between us.
Cousin: How long have you lived with these people?
Zoey: seven years?
Cousin: And how do they like their coffee?
Zoey: Mira takes hers with a lot of sugar and milk. She really likes this salted caramel creamer but she'll take whatever. Rumi does too although she prefers tea over coffee, usually an earl grey with two sugar cubes. But if you're talking about frim from a coffee shop Mira gets a frappe every time. Rumi usually gets a mocha although she'll debate between it and the chai latte before settling on the mocha because she doesn't trust them to brew the tea right.
Cousin: Add a mortgage and y'all's non throuple is the most stable marriage in the family.
(Later when he meets Rumira)
Cousin: Sweet baby jesus, three of them and not neurotypical thought or a braincell in sight.
So I was (indirectly) asked to compile a list of my favorite polytrix fluff!fic, so here you go. Usual disclaimers of this is only my opinions, YMMV, etc. We have four basic categories: pure, unadulterated fluff; fluff with varying amounts of spice; low-stakes hurt-comfort, wherein there is some hurt but it is nothing major and the focus is heavy on the comfort; and fluffy multichapter, which will be mostly fluffy but pretty much always contain some amount of angst because, multichapter and keeping that pure fluff is *hard.*
List under a cut to save your dash. This will be Long. (It was 5 pages in a word doc, so.)
Pure, unadulterated fluff:
"Quarter, Half, Love: Notes" by Tah the Trickster (https://archiveofourown.org/works/67109140) – in which Rumi leaves adorable notes, Zoey joins in, and Mira is the most chalant lovergirl who tries to hide it.
"a little potted plant" by kayr0ss (https://archiveofourown.org/works/68386346) – Rumi brings home a new plant, and the girls are adorable while learning to help it thrive.
"Energy Matched" by SweetSassyPeachLassi (https://archiveofourown.org/works/68470421) – Pre-debut Zoey thinks she might be too much, but her girls show her just how wrong she is.
"tiger whisperer" by kayr0ss (https://archiveofourown.org/works/68653386) – Mira is the only one who can get Derpy to listen. It is adorable.
"Stay a little longer, take a little longer" by Tempest(sniperct) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/70401131) – The girls help give Rumi ideas for decorating her room. (And pretty much everything by Tempest(sniperct) is awesome, but beware, they do a lot of angst too. I honestly would put a lot more of their stuff but it often makes me feel far deeper things than fluff implies – happy things, true, but in a much deeper and soul-settling way.)
"The Unwarranted Torture of Mira by Ryu Rumi, Half-Demon Menace" by FlyingFleshEater (https://archiveofourown.org/works/71969331) – Mira is Too Gay to deal with how cuddly Rumi has become.
"make me a home" by Barrhorn (https://archiveofourown.org/works/71966746) – One way the girls could have met in auditions. So sweet, so cute, and read the end notes for a little added hilarity. (Also I am pretty much a slut for anything by Barrhorn, so.)
"Glow Vibes" by PicassoWithAPencil (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73017801) – Rumi's first time at Build-a-Bear; has a tiny bit of angst but so much cute and love to make up for it. Be prepared for sweet tears.
“summerland” by NORsevvy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73110676) – the girls go to an amusement park together and are just so FRICKIN’ CUTE and good.
“die right here” by NORsevvy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72425716) – Mira is the oblivious one this time. The girls see just how blatant they have to be to get her to realize. (And the date itself isn’t enough, because queer woman obliviousness knows no bounds.)
“Blind Dates” by Tempest(sniperct) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72794861) – meet-cute. Each of the girls has been set up with a blind date who didn’t show, but they get the better end of the deal when they get to go on a date with each other instead.
“3 times Zoey and Mira kiss Rumi’s patterns (and one time they just kiss her)” by jtl07 (https://jtl07.tumblr.com/post/797084727001661440/hi-your-writing-is-so-great-and-im-always-so) – what it says on the tin. Rumi is Gay. They are all cute.
“what if the way you hold me is actualy what’s holy?” by FlyingFleshEater (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73807506/chapters/192478966#workskin) – three times the girls wake up with each other. Sex is mentioned but not directly depicted, else I would put it in spice. A rare multichapter that’s pure fluff, and a darn good one at that.
“good for it” by Barrhorn (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73959596) – a sweet one with a hint of spice, but again, no explicit depictions. Zoey is an accidental (mild) menace, and good times ensue.
“Happy Together” by Tempest(sniperct) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/74170396) – short and sweet. Zoey wins the training games and gets pampered.
“Slice” by FlyingFleshEater (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72662661) – not polytrix but too cute and good not to add. Pre-canon. Celine gets confirmation that she’s raising Rumi right.
“All The Mamas” by whitebeltwriter (https://archiveofourown.org/works/74719266) – ADORABLE meet-cute. RuMira’s little kiddo thinks mama has wandered off in the grocery store and goes to retrieve her. Mira tries to find the kiddo. Hilarity ensues.
“Chosen, Exactly Like This” by awokendreamer (https://archiveofourown.org/works/76237711) – Zoey is a gremlin, or a goblin, take your pick. She’s been hiding her gremlin tendencies from her girls. But she really didn’t have to.
“a swing and a miss doesn’t mean it’s game over” by tzushi (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72049376) – the girls don’t agree on what day is their anniversary. (Rumi doesn’t even know they’re dating.)
“sun-blind, sunburn, sun-kissed” by dyskinesia (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73079071) – the girls come out, one by one, as told through interviews and social media.
“Flirt to Save the Honmoon” by oo_Demigod (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73195786/chapters/190756356) – the girls get drunk, and one or two of them at a time forget that they’re dating (or even that they know each other). Cue deranged yet adorable flirting and a great deal of hilarity.
“Their Favorite Chew Toy” by RagingFoxPaws (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73851416) – Mira and Zoey are worried when Rumi wears a sweatshirt again, but it’s for a good reason.
“An Invisible Third” by Tempest(sniperct) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/69709496) – Mira has been in love with Rumi since childhood, but Rumi met Zoey and they started dating. Now, they’re adults living together and Mira still loves them both. (Mira is missing some signals here.) More than a bit of Mira pining, which gets a little angsty, but she’s also being *very* oblivious and the end is so fluffy.
“Moonlight Kisses” by Tempest(sniperct) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72796541) – Mira is a huge lovergirl and doesn’t dare share it. A bit of pining but the end is very hopeful, and it’s got lovergirl Mira giving forehead kisses when she thinks Rumi is asleep, what else do you want?
Fluff with varying amounts of spice:
“my hands weave onto yours” by barrhorn (https://archiveofourown.org/works/68192036/chapters/176421946) – could also go in multichapter but the thing is fluffy enough that I don’t feel the need to put it there. ABO-verse; Rumi takes the chance of the post-Namsan hiatus to go off suppressants, and Mira and Zoey help and love her through it. Much more fluff than spice, but there is a heat involved, so.
“what doesn’t kill me makes me love you more” by julesby10 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/67945891) – Rumi starts to realize her feelings for her bandmates are more than platonic, then they kiss (and fuck) about it, very sweetly.
“There are Many Benefits to Being a Marine Biologist (in Training)” by BiFelicia (https://archiveofourown.org/works/70287951) – a cool take on how the girls found Zoey. Zoey is, as the title states, a marine biologist in training and lifeguard on Jeju Island. Soulmates vibes, good fluff, and plenty of really well-written sex.
“but you love me anyway” by phoenix_inthe_fire (https://archiveofourown.org/works/72872686) – Rumi finally lets herself be a brat. In many ways, in many places. And her girls will never stop loving her.
“I could teach you, but I’d have to charge” by sporkmetender (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73751781) – high school AU. Zoey needs help attracting a boy; Rumi and Mira volunteer to teach her the necessary, ah, skills. They’re also all into each other and haven’t said anything, but who’s keeping track? Kissing lessons and more.
“the birds and the bees and the demons” by yeahnoyeah (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73574071) – Celine POV. A little bit of angst because it does talk about hiding patterns and pre-debut/pre-movie Rumi yearning for her bandmates. But. It is worth it because Celine has to give the girls The Talk and no one liked that. And then she walks in on them post-movie. Low spice but high comedy.
Low-stakes hurt-comfort:
“Operation Soup Vow” by friendlydandelion (https://archiveofourown.org/works/69723341) – Rumi and Mira have bad colds, and Zoey takes care of them.
“gold in the night” by ddullahan (https://archiveofourown.org/works/67768541) – Rumi is having trouble sleeping, Mira thinks there’s an intruder, and Zoey just wants to cuddle. A bit of angst here about the patterns and reveal, but not huge, and quickly covered with cuddles.
“ours” by trulysapphic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/71028086) – short, college AU. Zoey is sick; her girlfriends help her feel better.
“a mira sandwich” by trulysapphic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/71328211) – Mira is sick; her girls take care of her.
“calm (keeps my heart racing!)” by NORsevvy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/73001581) – Mira has a migraine, Rumi has the flu, and Zoey has to take care of things for them both.
“Knocking You Out Like a Lullaby” by GoldenWaffles (https://archiveofourown.org/works/74833156) – When Zoey can’t sleep, she seeks out Mira. She’s not the only one. Light pining and the uncertainty of loving each other and not yet being together, and a bit less fluff overall than most of the others, but it’s also the girls finding safety in Mira and Mira finding comfort in helping them, so.
Fluffy multichapter:
“on a tight leash” by cleaver(onthechoppingblock) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/68738096/chapters/178022771) – ABO-verse. Rumi is a solo artist and needs some bodyguards; enter Mira and Zoey, neither of whom has ever been a bodyguard before. Falling in love and some slight shenanigans ensue.
“Little Fires in the Dark” by ariadnerue (https://archiveofourown.org/works/67610651/chapters/174758606) – chapters 1 and 6 are my favorites and the fluffiest, imo, but the whole work is good. A series of song-vignettes with the girls from various times pre-canon to post-canon, with the conceit that they’ve always been able to sense each other in a soulmates kind of way. Some of the chapters are angsty, but the work as a whole is hopeful and loving, and too good to not include.
Too fluffy to leave out, too much angst to go in another category:
“The Avocado Army” by willows_shame (https://archiveofourown.org/works/75298411) – OKAY. I made this category for this fic because there is SO MUCH CUTE. (The girls also start doing streams, and it is wonderful.) BUT THERE IS ALSO ANGST (jealousy, pining, and being forcibly outed). So. It is what the category says and I can’t leave it out because it’s too good.
