    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Zoey! It's so good to meet you!"

    "Mira. Same."

    This was typically the part where Rumi would be expected to introduce herself, but she didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what was expected of her if the way she still just stared even as Celine cleared her throat pointedly said anything.

    -

    "Hey, we got you something from the store last night."

    Rumi squinted between them and the bag. "Why."

    "Because as much as you don't seem to like us, we like you just fine."

    -

    "Well, come on. Aren't you going to bite somebody with those big sharp teeth of yours?" Mira prompted again with a raised brow, shaking Zoey's arm slightly, as if genuinely trying to entice Rumi to take a bite.

    Instead of taking the proffered bait, Rumi turned her head away with a strong air of ‘well now I don't want to.'

    "Thought so." Mira drawled, unimpressed. "Now how about you let us help you inside?"

    -

    Alt take: Repression didn't work baybeee, now it's everyone's problem!

    Summary

    (Or as I like to call it, WAGG!Rumi)

    //

    Zoey and Mira have been best friends for five years and housemates for four and a half and life is good! Well... Mira's library section and work events are all smooth sailing, which she desperately needs because the rest of her life has been feeling rough. And Zoey? She likes working hard! Taking any and all opportunities that come her way! But it would be kind of nice to slow down sometimes. And to not be treated like she's expendable...

    Could finding a dog in the middle of a storm be the thing to fix everything? Probably not. But she's very cute, and weirdly clever, and they love her.

    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.

    Summary

    “And how much longer can we keep searching, Mi-yeong! We can’t keep hosting auditions for these snobby, spoiled rich girls, thinking they’re going to be the next big hit!” Celine snapped, causing her students to flinch slightly at the sudden, unexpected outburst.

    “The Honmoon is the weakest it’s ever been. Demons are breaking through almost every day. We are working ourselves to exhaustion. We need to find this girl. And in all honesty, I don’t think we’ll find her gambling her life away at some club.”

    Or

    What if Rumi were raised by her dad?

    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
