ok so we all know about how twos company, gimme that candyfloss and let me sit down for dinner with my dead lover again (They find her in the dirt by the tree) are polytrix fandom pillars and must read fics (if ya haven't what the fuck are you even doing here 🙄 /lh)
I am here to suggest some fics that in #myopinion also deserve the title of "polytrix fandom obligatory reading" and who also deserve to become fandom pillars!! Putting the fic links and my quick personal description of the fic!
frostbitten, sunkissed (it's a duology fic) by ovenglovee
Disclaimer: mention to past self-harm (in a way)
an amazing character study focused fic exploring rumi's relationship with feeling loved, being extremely touch-starved and dealing with loneliness (and learning love with and because of Zoey and mira)
I love all the analogies the author and references the author puts in this collection uuuurgh SOOOO good!!!
if found, please return to and damaged goods, handle with care (also a duology fic) by ovenglovee
The first fic talks about rumi's sense of belonging (to something and someone) and explores a very intimate healthy way for her to communicate more clearly with the girls
The second explores rumi's complex relationship with shame, perfection, her views of her own humanity and being freely allowed to make mistakes
BUT! here's the twist: the fics explores both concepts respectively with collars, safewords and spanking. Like the author themselves said: It's therapy disguised as kink 😉
(Celine is a grey character in both these stories)
I'd sooner die than bury you (grieving, grieving, constantly grieving) by ILovedHerAndSometimesSheLovedMeToo @toastywarmhappyhats
Disclaimer: character death (not really...), blood and gore
(kind of... You will get it)
Zoey and Mira are trapped in a timeloop during the night of the idol awards and now matter how much they try, they can't seen to find how to end it!
FUCKING TASTY ANGST!!! The yearning... The desperation... The character writing... Chef kiss! Give it a shot guys (same author of citrus tree/milkweed fate)
This Time, I Swear I Won't Lose You by Average_smoothie_enjoyer
Another timeloop fic but this time mira centered! Just mrs lovergirl 3000 repeating the same day over and over trying desperately to save her (doomed) soulmate (rumi) with the help of her other (not doomed) soulmate (zoey)
What a pretty design by Dakota_Doesnt_Know
Disclaimer: suicide attempts and child abuse
A fic exploring another take of "zoemira find out abt rumi's patterns before the idol awards" but with rumi being a suicidal freak with heavy trauma and the girls going insane trying to protect her of herself.
(Celine is straight up evil here BUT the angst is extremally juicy and well done! It's an amazing fic! Totally worth a shot guys!!)
years of senseless waiting by yannie @yanniest
Disclaimer: self harm and implied child abuse (rumi is not both this time! Wow shocker!)
Part of a bigger collection about polytrix going thru the blender (literally the name of the collection) and being pathetic angsty yearning losers during it all. I love this one bc we see huntrix during their teenager training arc and explore their connection becoming deeper and more intimate. It's really cute even with the disclaimers I swear!!!
Would you still love me if I was a cat? By Echo_elates @echo-has-queries
Absolutely lovely au of kitty cursed rumi with the most perfect balance of fluff and hurt/comfort. Literally mira and zoey going pspspsps with this touch starved traumatized half-demon girl mess (I love to see rumi being loved and being emotionally spoiled!)
The honmoon and the demons still exist in this au but in a different way then what you would expect! Aside from the shipping, the worldbuilding is very intriguing to me!
Pas de trois by riverv @klargora
Rumi processing (while being in denial for a little while but then later accepting bc she's a repressed lovely dumbass) her feelings towards zoemira and them being her soulmates.
There's a very intimate, sensual and sweet scene of rumi dancing while being sandwiched by zoemira in a gay club like? what more do y'all want??? (huntrix at the gay club omg fork found in kitchen)
And these were my fics indications! Hope y'all liked it and I hope this post helps you guys seeing the pillars potential they're!!
