Summary
Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.
She pushed her fingers down.
The rib shifted.
The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."
Rumi finds this out the hard way.

Summary
Celine was put in an impossible situation. Run the Sunlight Sisters record label, try to keep demons out of the world in the absence of two hunters, and raise a child that wasn't hers, all on her own.
Oh, and of course, just to add to the difficulty of her situation, the kid is half demon. She's lucky she's so stinking cute.
-
AKA, Celine being a good mom au.
I've seen so many stories completely villainizing Celine, which I'm totally interested in exploring don't get me wrong, but I also disagree that that's how she is in canon. She's a lot more complex than that, I think. That being said, this ALSO isn't based on canon. This is Celine doing a better job at being the parent Rumi needed.
Also note that the first chapter is a prologue and not really in the style that the rest of the fic will be written in, it's just like that for atmosphere!

Summary
The aftermath is quiet. When their feet touch back down to the Namsan Tower stage and the bright sunlight cast as they formed new honmoon fades away, night reclaiming Seoul, Rumi doesn't hear the thousands upon thousands of fans surrounding them. She doesn't hear much of anything. She doesn't feel much of anything. It's like her world has narrowed to her hands, and Zoey and Mira's hands clasped in them. But even that feels barely there. She's barely there.
They won. Now they have all the time in the world to pick up the pieces. And for Rumi to learn how to live a life that isn't just waiting to die.
UPDATE: it'll take a bit but we are in fact headed towards Polytrix before this fic ends cuz I NEED IT.

Summary
"Which means you," Dr. Choi turns to the other woman, "are my two o'clock appointment. Ryu Rumi?"
"Yes," she says, standing up and extending her hand for a handshake. She has a diplomatic smile on her face, charming and practiced to perfection. Mira can hardly imagine what it's like to be on the receiving end of it.
Dr. Choi, however, is apparently immune. She puts one hand on her waist and looks up at Rumi with a glare. She holds Rumi's client file up with her other.
"Rumi-nim, respectfully, this is the worst intake form I've ever seen in my life. "
Mira holds back a snicker.
Or what if Rumi was werewolf but also was a college professor, and what if Zoey was a vet, and what if Mira had 5 cats and one had IBS too, and they were in a romantic comedy what then

Summary
She grabbed a couple of painkillers from the cabinet and swallowed them with a handful of water from the sink. Her hands shook as she brought the water to her mouth.
Rumi had time. She could finally focus on something other than faults and fears, and she intended to focus on things that mattered.
She'd be feeling better in a couple of weeks, tops.
An exploration of love in the face of impending loss.
or-
What if being a hybrid didn't make Rumi longer lived--what if it did the opposite?

Summary
A daemon is the representation of one’s soul. Rumi can hide and lie all she wants, but she cannot outrun the truth that is Eunwoo.
Rumi used to try and look at the upsides, that Eunwoo had settled the way they did to be a better hunter, to be stronger against the demons.
Tigers are one of the few animals who hunt humans too.
Zoey told her that fact excitedly after the first hunt that Eunwoo helped with. There was no suspicion behind it, no malice. Zoey would never. It was said as one of at least twenty tiger facts the younger girl had listed off over her bowl of fish cake soup.
Rumi has never forgotten.
When Eunwoo blends into the shadows, when they tread softly, trailing behind Mira and Zoey, she wonders. When Byeol or Jun get near and Eunwoo seems to bask in their presence, she wonders. When Eunwoo has their bright gaze pinned on Seung and Celine, tracking every move the pair makes, Rumi cannot help but wonder if Eunwoo is eyeing the souls as a future meal.
Eunwoo is a hunter.
Rumi isn’t sure what of.

Summary
“Oh, she is stoned stoned,” Mira says.
Zoey's eyes are alight with mirth, but they soften with something fonder. “Okay, but why is she so adorable?”
“Because she's Rumi,” Mira sighs. “We should probably take her to bed.”
Zoey's face turns dramatic, clutching fake pearls around her neck. “You wanna bone now? In her current state?”
“Not like that, dumbass!” Mira snaps back, but her reddening cheeks remove any bite from her words.
“I think I'm tilting.”
Both girls’ attention returns to Rumi, who, unsurprisingly, is not tilting.
So she purrs. What about catnip?

Summary
Celine always told Rumi that the Golden Honmoon would get rid of her patterns. Jinu once said that all demons did was feel. Now, imagine both of these are true. Imagine that HUNTR/X succeeds in turning the Honmoon gold and Rumi’s oldest wish comes true.
Imagine after, where, just like her patterns, her ability to feel is taken away by the Golden Honmoon.

Summary
Zoey starts to move and Rumi, familiar with how she telegraphs her movements, knows she’s seconds away from lunging at Mira's father. Mira grasps her wrist like a lifeline.
“Please don’t,” she murmurs. Zoey stands down as he exits the room. “I just want to get through the next day so I can never talk to any of these assholes again.”
Rumi and Zoey share a look over Mira’s head, the thirst for vengeance crackling in the air between them. This is not over.
---
At her grandmother's wake, Mira learns that her family intends to withhold the only heirloom she cares about - a book of recipes her grandmother promised her. Zoey and Rumi plot their revenge in secret while trying to support Mira and avoid a confrontation with her family.Series

Summary
So that’s it, huh.
Mira does a better job at stifling her tears than Zoey, but she still feels a few warm drops run down her cheeks.
The hopes and dreams of being an idol at Sunlight Entertainment—hell, of being anything—are gone with a handwave from some guy in a suit and a paper that says “Thanks for auditioning”.
Before she can storm out as quickly as possible to save what little face she has left, Mira turns on her heel and freezes at the sight of Celine, the CEO of Sunlight Entertainment, watching her. That odd woman with the purple braid and mask floats behind her, eyes gleaming.
“Mira. Zoey.” Celine steps towards them. “Before you leave, I have an offer I’d like you to consider.”
Or: When Mira and Zoey, both running from difficult pasts, audition to become idols at Sunlight Entertainment (famous for its mysterious headliner idol Hunter) and fail, all hopes of meeting and training under Hunter go out the window until Celine makes them a different, surprise offer: train under Celine’s unknown ward Rumi instead.
(“Why us?” Zoey asks.
“Honestly,” Rumi says, “I think you're both really weird.”
Oh. Mira might kill her.)

Summary
After everything, the girls talk. It's messy (there's crying and anger and fear and love), and it ends with a promise: No more lies. It's only afterwards that Rumi thinks of her visit to Celine, and she very promptly decides NOT to share that particular experience with Mira and Zoey, content to let that little snippet of time die quietly in her memories alone (and really, what harm can one more lie be?). But, as Rumi has found out recently, her secrets have a way of coming to light, whether she wants them to or not.
(It starts with a visit from Celine.)
Or: Mira and Zoey find out what Rumi asked Celine to do.

Summary
Everything was perfectly normal. Except that it wasn’t.
Rumi knew it the way she knew that the sun rose in the east and set in the smooth line of Mira’s shoulders, graceful and lithe. Rumi knew it the way oceans ebb and words flowed through Zoey. Rumi knew it the way she knew she would die.
And that the Honmoon would remain.
Because the Honmoon was stronger than ever. It waxed as she waned.
And that was the thing, wasn't it.
Or: Rumi died that night at Namsan Tower. It just took her body a little while to catch up.

Summary
Rumi thinks that this last month has to be the best month of her life.
Well, afterlife.
Basically the same thing.
People are moving in. She’s seen them, both of them. Rumi practically lost her mind when she realised what was happening, because she’s been alone for an awful amount of time—ten whole years—and she was going to completely go insane if she didn’t have anyone to at least pretend to talk to.
She, admittedly, hasn’t been a ghost for very long. It’s only been ten years, which she knows is basically nothing when she’s effectively immortal now. Rumi hasn’t entirely figured that part out, and she’s also forgotten why she died or how it happened in the first place, so all of her hopes of actually moving on have been more or less dashed for the time being. Which is fine, she’s sure she would have figured it out at some point once she actually started to lose it—which likely would have happened in the next year, because ten years was already way too long to spend alone—but now there are people, and they’re moving in, and she’s not going to be alone anymore.
Like she said. Best month of her life.
