    Summary

    “Rumi?” Mira questioned uncertainly. The demons had frozen as well, staring at Rumi as she stared back. The tense silence stretched. The hallway felt like the oxygen had been sucked out and the dim lighting cast shadows all around.

    “Rumi, there’s no such thing as half demons. We would know. Celine would have told us. It has to be a trick….” Zoey said but it was clear she still had her own reservations.

    And what could Rumi say to that? Celine had said she could find no records of any other half demons, not anywhere in the archive. How could hunters have never encountered a single half demon in the nearly 800 years since the honmoon was created? What were the chances they would meet them now, in this generation, when Rumi herself was one? It felt like a trap. It had to be a trap.

    But…

    “Rumi?”

    “She’s bleeding.” She said softly. “Demons don’t bleed.”

    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

    One moment, everything is perfect. The crowd is going wild singing along to "Golden" like it's the only thing keeping them tethered to here and now. Rumi, Mira and Zoey are in their final pose smiling wide when they see it.

    Before Rumi can say something, the edges of her patterns start to burn. It's subtle at first, easy to ignore in the exhaustion of performing and something like happiness bubbling up, but it gets worse. The pain sears into her, cutting off everything else.

    Maybe this is what it feels like to lose them, she thinks desperately. Maybe the Honmoon is burning them off, or maybe-

    Or: What if the Honmoon turned gold and took Rumi down like every other demon?

    Summary

    Celine was put in an impossible situation. Run the Sunlight Sisters record label, try to keep demons out of the world in the absence of two hunters, and raise a child that wasn't hers, all on her own.

    Oh, and of course, just to add to the difficulty of her situation, the kid is half demon. She's lucky she's so stinking cute.

    -

    AKA, Celine being a good mom au.

    I've seen so many stories completely villainizing Celine, which I'm totally interested in exploring don't get me wrong, but I also disagree that that's how she is in canon. She's a lot more complex than that, I think. That being said, this ALSO isn't based on canon. This is Celine doing a better job at being the parent Rumi needed.

    Also note that the first chapter is a prologue and not really in the style that the rest of the fic will be written in, it's just like that for atmosphere!

    Summary

    “Rumi,” Mira says, her voice disconcertingly gentle. “What’s wrong?”

    It takes Rumi ten seconds to realise she isn’t in her bedroom. It takes her two minutes to realise that — no, actually, she is. It just isn’t the bedroom she remembers.

    Rumi does not remember their victory; her patterns have spread to her entire body, and there are no clothes in her wardrobe that could adequately cover them up if she tried.
