    Summary

    There was a princess.

    There is a beast.

    Nine years after Honmoon Palace fell to a mysterious foe, Kang Mira and Choi Zoey live under the ruthless thumb of the Kang merchant family risen to power with the absence of the ruling Ryu Clan. Zoey, the sweet half-blooded outsider, and Mira, the headstrong and wayward daughter of the Kangs, escape Honmoon Village in fire and blood to leave behind the cold venom of cruel words and coerced obligations. They flee for the ruins of Honmoon Palace, hoping the tales of ghosts and other unearthly creatures will be enough to deter their angry pursuers.

    They don't expect the rumours to hold a grain of truth in them. A terrifying beast roams the palace grounds—the very one alleged to have brought an end to the Ryu line—but it doesn't attack or chase them away. Surrounded by strange magic and a cagey beast, Zoey and Mira plot their next move and ready to leave.

    And the Beast will let them. She must.

    For who could ever love a beast?

    Based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991). Updates every Sunday!

    Summary

    The vast majority of human predators are terrestrial, meaning humanity never evolved the instinct to look up when searching for threats.

    Gwi-Ma knows this and as such gave a gift to his most clever followers.

    Powerful enough demons can grow wings; massive, leathery constructs which allow them to drop out of the sky and carry away their prey.

    Rumi's back split open when she was 14.

    Or. When a part of her demonic heritage becomes impossible to hide, Rumi takes drastic measures

    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

    “Why bring her to me?” She was not a savior, she was a monster. Every day she carried the broken pieces of stone birds into her temple and mended them with clay and twine. The few animals she kept have had their sight removed, yet they nuzzled into her hand all the same. Her garden flourished, because it could not see the cruelty of the face of the one who tended to it. The island had been pristine when she had found it. Alive. Thriving.

    The Nereid only tilted her head, sea-weed dark hair sliding wetly across her shoulders and throat. “Her quest was to find you.”

    “Find me?” She scoffed. “People find me for one reason only.”

    “To kill you?” grinned Zoey. It was a feral thing, revealing rows of serrated teeth. The illusion of a beautiful woman suddenly replaced by something wild, something dangerous. How apt.

    She shook her head morosely. “To die.”

    OR
    The Greek Mythology AU where Rumi is Perseus, sent to slay Mira as Medusa, but Zoey, daughter of the ocean, is tired of tragedies, and manipulates fate just enough to get something entirely different. This is a tale of how three women find each other despite their destinies, and build a love strong enough to defy the gods.
