    Summary

    The sword was much better kept than the rest of the shrine, with only a bit of moss and plant growth around it. The bronze of the hilt was shining brightly, the constellations etched into the blade clear and unmarred. The metal itself was almost iridescent, pinks and blues catching the dappled light filtering through the leaves as Mira tilted her head this way and that. It was, honestly, beautiful.

    “I’m gonna take it,” Zoey said.

     

    OR

    Zoey and Mira find an ancient sword at an abandoned shrine in the middle of the woods. Surely there won’t be any consequences to them taking it—right?

    Summary

    Double-checking her golden contact lenses in the mirror, Rumi fluffs out her hair—long and loose from its braid—so that it flows in waves behind her, a vision of violet cascading down the black velvet of her suit jacket. She tugs on her signature white butler gloves, straightens her lavender tie, and steps out of the back and onto the floor itself.

    The bell dings, a signal for new cafe guests arriving in the waiting room.

    Perfect timing.

    Rumi grins sharply, schooling her features into classy neutrality, then glances through the window of the door to the waiting area, sees two freshly familiar women, and yelps.

    Or: Rumi's balancing life as a university student by day and themed cafe butler by night when the fall semester starts, where she quickly finds herself partnering with two classmates—Zoey and Mira—for a group project. They're friendly and sweet, but there's just one small problem: they've taken to frequenting the exact cafe where Rumi works and unknowingly requesting her butler persona, Artemis, every single visit.

    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).

    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).
