    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

    “We demons have no right to the mortal realm. It’s time we took responsibility for our sins.”

    When Rumi returned to challenge Gwi-Ma after the Idol Awards, she considered singing. She could have been the Hunter one last time, trusting her friends to come back to her and make a new Honmoon.

    But she was tired. She'd suffered too many betrayals in one night and couldn't help but wonder: Did the Honmoon have any right to exist? No, she would find another way. Taking Gwi-Ma's power for herself, she would confine all demons to their realm by her own hand.

    She should have known her friends would follow her to hell itself before letting her go.

    AKA the Demon Lord Rumi Polytrix AU we all needed.

    Summary

    “Did you know some turtles can live to be over 150?” Zoey says, about midway Rumi’s scalp.

    “Oh really, Zo?” Rumi says groggily. Inwardly she groans, because now Zoey starts talking all about Tortoises, Galapos and Sey-Whatever turtles. Usually she loved listening to Zoey talk to whatever her current obsession was, but not at 7- freaking- AM. Before she even managed to have a single drop of caffeine.

    Zoey gets to the base of her head now, where some stubborn hairs refuse to leave the collar of Rumi’s turtleneck. She pulls the collar down slightly, only to still at the light purple marks hidden beneath it.

     

    Alternatively: Zoey accidentally finds out about Rumi's patterns and slowly starts puzzling together the truth, while dealing with her own emotions about it.

     

    (Set pre-movie/during movie.)
