Summary
Mira destroyed them, that night, but somehow she still gets to keep them.
She shouldn’t get to wake up to breakfast steaming and ready in a bowl for her. She shouldn’t get to fall asleep in the safety of their arms, tangle in their limbs on the couch, or tuck stray hairs behind the shell of an ear, lingering over the miracle of a simple touch.
The guilt of the crime itself is outweighed by the guilt of such an unbefitting punishment.
Mira destroyed them that night. She should not still get to keep them.
Or:
The purpose for the entire visit slips off of her tongue like a prayer, reverent and pious.
“I never thanked you,” Mira says. “For the night of the Idol Awards.”
Celine stiffens.

Summary
"Rumiiiiii," Zoey whined. "Why didn't you tell us how boring this would be?"
"I did." Rumi replied without losing focus on her forms. "Repeatedly."
"Yeah, Zo," Mira said, "Sorry to burst your bubble but she did say patrol was like, 90% observing like a million times. To which you responded - and I quote - "That's fine, it'll be like a fun team bonding experience.""

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.

A starved dog gone feral in the back of my throat by a_bird_who_is_like_no_other
Fandom KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
30 Sep 2025
Summary
A collection of works set in the Kpop Demon Hunters universe!
Loosely interconnected and featureing certain consistent concepts throughout - like the fact that the Honmoon is semi-sentient, Huntr/x are basically soulmates, and oh, of course, dog-motive Rumi :)
– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
Part I - Canon compliant work, follows the girls' story before, during and after the movie.
Part II - Canon divergence, Rumi dies (They find her in the dirt by the tree)
Part III - Canon compliant, Rumi, longing and loneliness.
Part IV - Technically canon compliant, Huntr/x explicitly as soulmates.
Part V - Canon divergence, Mira and Zoey remembering moments they had with Rumi after her death.
Part VI - hopefully coming soon ;)– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
Or: in which the author has a agony write-off with themself (according to their readers).

Summary
“That’s all demons do.” The way Jinu had looked at her had been lacerating. Furious with her for not understanding the truth, and furious with himself that it was the truth at all. “Feel.”
At the time, Rumi had scoffed, and dismissed the idea as just a demon's attempt to give himself a justification to be what he was. Demons were evil, pure and simple, with nothing more to it. But now, since the Honmoon was sealed, since all other demons were banished, and since Jinu sacrificed himself, she’s forced to shoulder that there isn’t a single other being left on the planet who understands what it means to feel so deeply that the world frays around you.
But Mira and Zoey are trying. God knows they’re trying.

Summary
Rumi's attempt to launch "Golden" is interrupted by a demon attack that leaves Huntrix trapped in each other's bodies. They now have until their hiatus ends to figure it out.
Mira doesn't know she's a demon.
Rumi's fighting style doesn't work when she's tiny.
Zoey can finally reach the top shelf.This joke got surprisingly angsty but don't worry, it will get better!

Summary
They released Golden after they finished their tour and turned the Honmoon gold with their first performance. Rumi’s patterns went away, Zoey and Mira never found out, and that was that.
But Rumi doesn’t entirely remember that. Doesn’t remember the specifics. She doesn’t remember the celebrations they had when they saw the Honmoon gleam gold. She doesn’t remember talking to Celine after doing what she was trained to do. She doesn’t remember being given time off, flying to Jeju.
… Is this how it happens?
No, the Honmoon gently wraps itself around Rumi’s wrist, pink and blue and purple, this isn’t how it happens.
or: rumi is sure huntr/x defeated gwi-ma. she's sure that zoey and mira are her soulmates. she just can't quite remember how it happened.
