Summary
Rumi’s stomach churns at the thought of seeing Celine again after how they left things off before she ran head-first into Gwi-ma’s not-so-little deathtrap, but she walks up the steps without thinking, the way she always used to, past the gate and across the familiar stone path, and then knocks on the front door.
“Celine,” she calls, and then she hears it. The soft, slow shuffle of footsteps from inside, drawing nearer and nearer, and then, the sound of the lock turning, and—
The door opens, and the woman standing in front of them is not Celine.
If Rumi isn’t actually dead already, her heart stops. “Mom?”
Ryu Miyeong frowns at her. “‘Mom?’"
or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.

Summary
"Oh we're live!" Zoey's eyes flick up to the camera, her smile widening and both hands coming up to wave vigorously.
The chat explodes in greetings.
Rumi remains close to the camera, her brows furrowed together. "How do you know we're live?"
Zoey gestures at something off screen, "Because I hit that," and then she points over to something in the corner that makes Rumi visibly balk. "And because everyone is saying hi."
Rumi blinks slowly, "That's moving very fast."
Zoey lets out a laugh that is equal parts fond as it is amused. She reaches across Rumi for the mouse, faint clicking audible before she's addressing the chat. "Guys, baby's first stream! How do we feel?"
Or, Five times polytrix is almost outed on Rumi's stream and the slow descent into total freedom

Summary
“So remember this, jagiya. If someone won’t peel an orange for you, they don’t love you the way you deserve.”
Rumi blinked slowly, the lesson already sinking into a part of her heart she didn’t yet understand. “But you and Dad both peel them for me.”
Mi-yeong’s voice softened even more. “That’s because we both love you.”
Or
5 times Rumi gets an orange peeled for her and the one time she peels the orange.

Summary
Celine doesn’t know how to raise a child, let alone a half-demon one. She’s crap at warmth, worse at intimacy, and too often harsh with Rumi. But she knows how to cook, and she’s determined to shield Rumi and the other Huntrix girls from the idol industry’s coercive diet culture. She might not know how to love the way she should—but she can make sure her girls eat.

Summary
“Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”
“Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”
-
Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.
“Rumi. Rumi, no.”
Rumi inched closer to the rail.
“Rumi, please don’t.”
Zoey’s foot moved.
Rumi leapt.

Aka, another version of ‘Mira and Zoey find out about Rumi's patterns in a different way’ but this one's ✨mine✨
