let down and hanging around (crushed like a bug on the ground) by alternatemind

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Zoey cut in meekly. “I’m just trying to understand—”
Rumi whirled to face her, and she flinched back. “I’ve explained this to you before. We have insects that are pests and we have insects that are beneficial. If we let the pests live, they do damage, so we kill them. It doesn’t matter if it’s alive—all of them are alive, but some of them need to die.”
A study of Rumi and bugs.

Rumi and her relationship with bugs. The idea of bad bug following her through life. Excellent. EXCELLENT story.

Summary
Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.
She pushed her fingers down.
The rib shifted.
The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."
Rumi finds this out the hard way.

Light a Candle by CelineEnjoyer (Razzberrydazz) for FrozenWings

Summary
Zoey was not subtle about her love for the Sunlight Sisters. What wasn't expected was her literal saintly prayer candle with Celine's face plastered on it sitting on her bookshelf. She said that maybe lighting a candle and thinking about her mentor could help strengthen the Honmoon, or something.
Maybe it's confirmation bias that Celine always came back safely from her demon hunting patrols whenever Zoey lit the candle. Or maybe, the candle really was strengthening the Honmoon. Who knows?

Summary
After a rabies exposure, the virus must travel to the brain before it can cause symptoms. Therefore, the incubation period may last for weeks to months depending on several factors such as location of the exposure site (in relation to the brain) and age; in extremely rare cases it could be dormant for years.
Rumi thinks about this one frequently, lying in bed at night; the idea that you could be wasting away at any moment in your life. A poison in your veins with you none the wiser– like a ticking bomb just waiting to go off.
You would need to get bit or scratched first, of course, and if you took the right precautions you would likely never know. And Rumi has never been bitten anyway. She’s fine.
Absently, she scratches at her shoulder– skin tight.also known affectionately as the “rabies rumi” fic. i promise she doesn’t actually get rabies.

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
“Now that her patterns were officially out on display, she’d expected their Comeback promos to be a breeze. Finally free to move around and just have fun with the girls without any of the worry hanging over her. But if anything, she somehow felt more nervous than she ever remembered being before. Like she could still hear the ghost of all those warnings echoing through her head. Like she didn’t know what to do with herself without them."
...
Rumi struggles with her new look, her new support system, and her new differences with her guardian. But ups and downs are to be expected, and her girls aren’t going to give up on her so easily.

Summary
“Rumi! Calm down!” Mira swallowed hard. She tried to be as gentle as she could while applying pressure to her back. She couldn’t even imagine how much it hurt. “We’re right here! Just try to breathe!”
“We’re not going to leave your side!” The tears in Zoey’s eyes started to trail down her cheeks. She pressed her hand with a new towel up against her friend’s thigh first. “We’re right here! Just-” She cut herself off as she went to place her hand on Rumi’s arm. She froze with her facial expressions falling.
Tears started to cascade down Rumi’s face as she watched Zoey’s eyes widen, her pupils dilate and her whole body pull back just slightly.
The rapper’s gaze had fallen onto her exposed demon patterns.
Rumi let out a long trembling breath followed by a harsh whine.
She had to cover them up.
~or~
Jinu's soul has long since lost its humanity. There is no kindness nor empathy that remains. Instead, there is hatred fueled by shame that he directs towards this generation of Hunters. So when he learns one of these Hunters is half demon, that raging hatred explodes. Exposed in the bathhouse, Rumi doesn't have a choice whether or not her friends get to see the patterns she hides.

Summary
Rumi knew that Celine wasn't her mother, not biologically at least. Knowing this does not stop the yearning ache she's felt since childhood.
“I want my mom!” Rumi couldn't tell who that title was directed towards- To the woman whose grave they visited weekly, or the woman who would hold her hand as they walked there.
A few weeks after Gwi Ma's defeat, Rumi and Celine talk about things left unsaid.

Summary
Unlike what it is known, Celine wasn’t the one who chose Mira and Zoey, to build HUNTR/X around Rumi.
It all started when they were applicants in an audition which they never even intended to apply in the first place.
Rumi was struggling with her heritage of being half demon, doubting if she was even a Hunter. Rumi was completely uninterested in the audition.
Mira was disowned and kicked out from her family, she was an angry teenager with countless inner wounds. Mira was desperate to pass the audition.
Zoey was an energetic and bubbly girl on the outside, but inside she was falling apart from her two lives. Zoey was hoping and struggling through the audition.
It was obvious from the start that they wouldn’t get along. Also the audition was becoming an overwhelming challenge to them. Especially when there was an imposter who lies, she was Ryu Miyeong’s daughter and Celine’s ward. While Rumi hides who she is, she starts to care for Mira and Zoey, then plans to make Mira and Zoey into Hunters chosen by the Honmoon.
A story of three girls from outcasts to becoming HUNTR/X.

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.)

Summary
How do you love a cursed thing?
Celine hopes, and she hopes more, and prays at Mi-yeong's grave, hoping vainly that one day Rumi will wake up and be freed from her affliction. Not so that she'll feel better about raising the contradiction to her duty, but so that Rumi can live her own life freely.
Every day, she prays. Every day after, Rumi smiles at her with covered arms. Every day after that, Celine grows just a little more strict.
She pulls Rumi out of her local private school, teaches her lessons personally, finds vocal coaches who'll meet Rumi at the estate. She limits what the world sees of her, stops taking her to awards shows, drills privacy and caution and fear into her, and tries not to feel guilty when Rumi strives more and more for perfection, for a chance to prove herself.

Summary
The girls are complicit in a coverup by the Korean government to downplay missing persons as part of a new pandemic, Jinu's soul is haunting Rumi from inside the new honmoon, Mira and Zoey are still adjusting to knowing Rumi's secret, the Saja Boys are back and their new manager has dirt on Bobby's father and a complicated past with Celine, strangers that know the truth are starting to show up, HUNTR/X hasn't done any public events in approximately two weeks and fans are getting stir crazy.
Original summary below:
My vision of what a more or less cannon accurate story would be following the events of the movie. What would it take to cover up the truth that demons are really out there stealing peoples souls? What do they tell people happened to the Saja Boys? About Jinu? About Rumi's patterns? About all the people that disappeared? Who has to know the truth now that things have gotten worse and the honmoon isn't quite stable yet.Loose ends and moving pieces all get their time in the spotlight.

Summary
Rumi was three.
Celine’s fingers were soft against her scalp as she worked out the parts of her braid. Rumi was on her knees, humming the melody of one of the Sunlight Sisters’ songs while Celine was sitting behind her.
“Your mother loved braiding her hair. She said it made her look pretty.”
Rumi could hear the sorrow, the longing in her voice. She turned her head around, small sparkly eyes boring into glassy ones.
“Do you think mommy would have liked me with a braid?”
At that, Celine’s eyes softened, tears threatening to spill. She softly brushed Rumi’s cheek, tucking a strand of hair that had caught on her eyelashes behind her ear in the process.
“Yes. I think she would have.”
Ever since then, the dark haired woman had been the one cutting, styling and maintaining Rumi’s hair, until she was old enough to do it herself. With time, as her patterns grew along with her, Celine had been a lot more reluctant to touch her, but she had never stopped taking care of her long locks for her, sometimes coming to the tower at Rumi’s request solely for a hair cut.
OR
The consequences of the events of the Idol Awards on Rumi and Celine's relationship.
