Summary
i keep telling myself it wasn’t that bad. that nothing bad happened. that you were just a nice guy, that maybe i overreacted. but then it plays in my head again and again. i should have said no. i should have done something. i should have fought or screamed or run. but i didn’t. i froze. i just let it happen. i hate that i made it so easy.
why me? why you?
was it something i wore? hoodies and jeans was that somehow too revealing? or maybe it was just me. me being there. me existing in the wrong place at the wrong time. maybe that’s all it took. maybe i made it happen just by being there. i saw the signs, didn’t i? i stayed. i stayed and smiled and pretended it was fine until it wasn’t. so how can it not be my fault?
i don’t even know who i am anymore. i keep looking in the mirror and wondering if anyone else can see it. the stain of it on me. i keep scrubbing, but it won’t come off. i keep thinking if i could just go back, just one second before it happened, i’d be braver this time. i’d say no. i’d scream. i’d stop you. but i didn’t. and i can’t. and now i have to live with this forever.
"Rumi. It wasn't your fault."

Post-movie. Everything is out in the open now. No more hiding, no more lying. It should be easy from there on, right? So why does it feel like everything has only gotten more complicated?

Summary
What now of soldiers returned to the plough? When the great work is complete, what place in the new world is there for one who has never been capable of knowing peace? There is no call for heroes in paradise, after all, and swords were never truly made for mantlepieces. The answer is simple: there is always a war somewhere, and if it cannot be found, it can be made...
(alternatively)
Rumi never really considered what lay beyond the goalposts of the Golden Honmoon, and is having trouble adjusting to her sudden lack of direction in life. This may lead to... questionable decisions.

Summary
Edited summary-
Set after the Idol Awards, Rumi is trying—failing—to keep it together. The Honmoon is stronger than ever, Mira and Zoey have finally found happiness in each other, and her girls have accepted her completely. So why does she feel so broken? Why does she feel so utterly alone?
She tells herself she’s happy for them, but every laugh, every touch, makes the ache sharper. Rumi wants what they have, but she’s convinced she’ll never fit, never belong the way they do. So she looks for love in the wrong places—and finds it.
But when it isn’t what she dreamed, when it leaves her bleeding instead of whole, will Mira and Zoey be able to show her that she deserves more? Or will Rumi spiral so far down there’s nothing left to save?

Summary
Celine tried to meet Mira’s gaze, but couldn’t force herself to. She instead averted her eyes, staring at the floor. She could feel the hunter’s stare boring right through her soul.
“Yes,” she finally whispered. “Rumi has patterns. But she is not a demon.”
“Then you’re going to explain everything, right now, or I walk. And when I tell Zoey, she will too. You know she will.”
Celine let the silence hang for just a moment before solemnly nodding in agreement. “If we’re going to have this conversation now, I’m going to need a drink first. And Zoey should be here."
Or:
Mira finds out about Rumi's patterns prior to the Huntr/x world tour, and confronts Celine about it. Secrets and feelings are revealed, and love lights the way.

Summary
Once they had sealed the honmoon, the girls had to practically drag her with them. Rumi had wanted to disappear. Find somewhere quiet to think and to feel. She knew what they once had couldn’t be salvaged, but they still needed to maintain the group. They’d fixed the honmoon, but had no idea if there were holes in it. They had no idea if Gwi-ma had been fully vanquished or just banished back to his realm. They knew effectively nothing other than the fact that they had saved everyone there to see the Saja boys.
OR
Rumi, Mira, and Zoey figure out what needs to be fixed between themselves and the world.

Summary
“Mira, what do you-oh,” Rumi gulped as she looked back to Mira, the question on her tongue dying. Mira was stripping. Well. Not stripping, stripping, but taking her shorts and shirt off. Rumi watched as Mira’s red bikini came into view with an expanse of skin.

Summary
The Gok-do pierced her chest, sending a shock of pain through her torso and down her spine. Rumi choked, feeling the familiarity of oxygen being cut off, her throat tightening.
She could never see what kind of expression Mira was wearing in these dreams. Neither could she make out what Zoey looked like, standing beside her with her Shin-kal raised to defend herself.
From demons. From Rumi.
Or,
Life-long trauma and self-deprecating lessons instilled in you from your literal birth do not disappear in a few days, neither do years of lying to your best friends and having them turn on you. Despite the battle with Gwi-Ma and What It Sounds Like, Rumi finds herself still struggling to let herself simply be, but Zoey and Mira are determined to change that.

Summary
Rumi doesn't like small, enclosed spaces. Actually, if anyone were to ask, she'd say she doesn't like enclosed spaces at all. She doesn't like being in a room with four walls, not when it feels like they could close in on her at any moment.
Unfortunately for her, nobody asks. Society wouldn't allow an idol who can't be inside without the possibility of a panic attack, so she learns to manage it. She thinks she does a pretty good job at pretending.
or:
Rumi hates closets and enclosed spaces. The world hates her. Cue a game of spin the bottle that unravels secrets kept carefully hidden, spur of the moment decisions that lead to severe repercussions, and two girls just trying to keep their soulmate safe.

Summary
Huntrixlover249: Why do you guys think Rumi is always covered up from her neck and collarbones?? Is she cold?? Low iron?? Not eating enough??
HuntKing42: You know she's hiding more than that! Why does any 20-something wear a turtleneck when they go out?
Golden_Boy: No way! You think she's hiding hickies? But we never see her out with anybody!
HuntKing42: Obviously! And we see her out all the time with the girls.
HuntrixLover249: No way! You really think they're… You know??
Golden_Boy: I think I have a nosebleed.
Or: A social media scandal of fan theories makes Rumi start to see the girls in a different light. And she isn't subtle about it in the slightest.

Summary
But if there was one thing she’d learnt from the therapy she had gone to after joining Huntrix, when she was finally able to afford it herself, it was that healing took time. A lot more than people liked to admit or wanted to wait for. “This isn’t going to go away overnight. For any of us. But we’re together, and we’ll get through this together. That much I’m certain of”.
-----
Picking up immediately after the fight with Gwi-Ma, and exploring the Huntrix trio as they settle into their new normal.
Figuring out their dynamics and where they stand with each other following the truths revealed and hurt caused, and what the future is going to look like for them now they actually have a moment to breathe.

Summary
She doesn't know how she gets to Celine. She aches for acceptance, for the embrace of a mother who has never known her, and if not that, then for the love of the woman who raised her. She has yearned and begged and torn herself apart trying to get it, so it's no wonder that Celine shies away from her.
She drops to her knees and holds out her sword.
Rumi is a thing that wants, and she wants to die.
---
canon-divergence sparked by the thought of "what if rumi really *did* lose her markings?" and also contemplating how rumi has definitely contemplated her own death a lot more than that one scene, then choosing the most painful possible option for those questions.
this was supposed to be a oneshot but I'm attached to it now. oops.
new note: this work is still being edited! if you re-read it and it looks different, it probably is. currently editing for continuity and characterization. chapter one is pretty much done <3

Summary
Rumi is marked, scarred by the past. She doesn't deserve happiness, she's a demon after all. Even if she saved the world. She's still a mistake. Still something that shouldn't have been born, let alone alive. Though Mira and Zoey heavily disagree with that.
Mira is angry. Oh so fucking angry. At her parents. At Celine. At the bad demons who caused all this. At herself. But not Rumi or Zoey. Never At Rumi or Zoey.
Zoey's afraid of being too much of being alone again. So maybe she's too clingy, or too fast for people. She's kind, and funny and always so helpful even when it hurts. Mira and Rumi love her the way she is, never thinking shes too much.
Or
Everyone has scars. Even if they aren't all visible. You just need to find those who will care for you and love everything about you.
