Summary
Rumi, a half demon, infiltrates the band that is meant to protect the honmoon. Mira and Zoey find out, but unfortunately it's hard to kill your own bandmate during live performances, and even harder to kill her when she keeps flirting with you to throw off your game.
Aka the fic where Rumi is bad at flirting in every timeline, Zoey is a bit of a freak to no one's surprise, and Mira has too many feelings that don't include being stabby.

Summary
Rumi Ryu, fresh out of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship, is finally ready to move out of her aunt’s house and into her own space. She settles on a small apartment building in a quiet part of Seoul, where she can see herself flourishing, hopefully.
Mira Kang and Zoey Cho have lived in the building for ages now and haven't had a neighbor in months. Probably because the rent price was outrageous, but they’re able to afford it together. When a mysterious, quiet and heavily guarded purple-haired stranger moves in next door, Zoey immediately begins “operation befriend the neighbor”. Mira is just along for the ride.Or: shy, quiet Rumi moves into the apartment next to Mira and Zoey. Love and chaos (good and bad) ensue.
Title from Alessia Cara’s song Scars to Your Beautiful, because I couldn’t think of anything else.Series

Summary
“I’d like to thank all of you for coming today. I’m Mira Kang. You can call me chef while in class,” A slightly deep, soothing voice sounded from the back of the room. Rumi began chewing like a woman on a mission, hoping to finish off the last few pearls that swished around in her mouth as she felt the chef pass behind her. “We’re going to be starting off simple today. First, I’ll teach you how to properly prepare your ingredients for bibimbap and then we’ll move on to making the rice and we’ll go from there.”
Rumi glanced around as a few of the older women began whispering amongst each other and looking towards the main station where the chef was most likely now standing. Still chewing on her last tapioca pearl, Rumi’s eyes wandered over towards the chef wondering just what caught the interest of the women.
Pink hair.
A harsh, hacking cough rattled Rumi’s chest as she inhaled her half chewed pearl. Just at the front of the class was the same woman that she’d smashed her face against glass to see for just a moment longer. The same smooth skin and button down shirt. The same brown eyes –now looking at Rumi.
She needed to get out of this class before she made a fool of herself even more.

Summary
Mira and Zoey have known since the beginning that their harmony would never be complete. The Honmoon never picked a third hunter. She could be dead for all they know.
Rumi has lived in the demon realm all her life, with a voice so powerful that it turns demons to dust and opens passageways in the Honmoon. The demons fear it, leaving her well enough alone. Gwi-ma tolerates her jabs because he cannot control her. Rumi is sick of the constant terror that seems to always follow her around, she could tell half of Gwi-ma's court to jump into a lava pit and they would scramble to do it.
...
Rumi is a liar and a fraud who wants nothing to do with the life she has been born into.
She shouldn't want to keep going back to the human world, but is it really such a bad thing? All she has to do is avoid the new generation of hunters and it'll all be fine.
