Summary
Celine never meant to turn memory into inheritance.
When Mi-Yeong died, all Celine wanted was to make sure her daughter wouldn’t be forgotten. Rumi was barely a year old then—soft, curious, clutching at everything like she was afraid the world might slip away if she didn’t hold it tight (They were the same in that way). Celine used to think that if she could just keep Mi-Yeong’s memory alive long enough, Rumi would somehow still grow up with her mother’s warmth wrapped around her.

Summary
For a few short years, Celine actually believed it was possible for humans and demons to coexist. Inevitably, she would be proven wrong, and she would do everything to prevent Rumi from making the same mistake.

Rumi has spent her entire life wearing an ill-fitting mask crafted for her by her adoptive mother. When she finally takes it off, she realizes she doesn't recognize the person underneath. -

Summary
You wanted her to be loved. You wanted her to know that you loved her, but how else could you show it other than by working toward those goals? For Rumi to stay safe, her patterns needed to be gone. You had been allowed to bear witness to a demon walking amongst hunters as if it was the norm; Miyeong had loved him, Kimmy had treated him like a brother. Riwoo got lucky twice, though he did not get lucky with you. You did not love him, but you allowed him to live. It seemed like the greatest offer of friendship you could give to him, but you did not want that for Rumi.
You wanted her to be loved.
And she is.
You’ve pretended for their sakes to not notice, primarily because none of them have told you directly, and you don’t want to intrude, but they aren’t subtle. You’ve been biting your tongue about that, too, because you can give them reminders about media training and what going public can bring later. For now, you want them to enjoy whatever new ground they’ve stumbled into, and it seems like they are.
You know all the signs—you were in love once, too, and you still are.
You’re so proud of all of them.

Summary
It really is worse than she thought. The demon has invaded Miyeong’s mind, corrupted her. Celine can’t stop staring at her friend, at her closest confidant, at her— this is a betrayal of everything they stand for. The demon merely watches with an impassiveness on his face.

Summary
So Rumi was moaning, her tongue in Mira’s mouth and both hands skimming Zoey’s chest, bare under her top, when all three girls heard a crash. Instantly, they whipped around, weapons out, to find Celine standing in their foyer.
Celine gives Rumi The Talk. Twice. It's twice more than either of them want.

Summary
When the chance of a lifetime is offered to Zoey, everyone's excited to see her spread her wings, her mentor Celine included. As the two celebrate and share personal anecdotes, Zoey realizes that Celine seems… lonely. Celine insists she doesn't mind, but Zoey wants her to get back out there and find a special someone— an idea that fills Celine with hesitation, especially when she suddenly can't stop thinking about the one person to show interest in her personal life: Zoey.
(You probably think this is just age gap smut. I promise, it’s deeper than that.)

Summary
During the Idol Awards the Honmoon had fallen and in its place was something other. Celine hesitated to call it exactly the same, but she didn't have the experience to say otherwise either. No Hunter before had ever come this close to a permanent sealing. Now, a rainbow webbing was left in its place—stronger, Celine thought. Better, she hoped, but also haunting. It was too alien.
And Celine couldn't… touch it.
The Honmoon had abandoned her after its rebirth.
___________It's been one year since Celine last saw Rumi on her knees and begging to die.

Summary
The Sunlight Sisters had just debuted—and failed. They didn't garner the fans of the previous generation. They didn't make waves in the world of music. The Honmoon weakened with their lack of success...
And so they need a new song.

Summary
Celine didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she met Mi-yeong and Nari. She was the center of their team. But when Celine finds out about Mi-yeong’s relationship with a demon, everything begins to crumble. Only a few demons can break through their powerful Honmoon. They are stronger, more resilient, and unlike any Celine has fought in the past. And Mi-yeong just happens to be meeting one of them. In secret.
(In the dark, searching for answers, she finds the two alone in an alleyway.)
Mi-yeong’s choice risks everything the demon hunters fight for. Mi-yeong must now make a choice, because you can’t live with a foot in two worlds, and demons don’t deserve to live. Or do they? Faced with two choices, Celine makes the choice for Mi-yeong, so her friend won’t have to.
(It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this. None of this was ever supposed to happen.)
One passes. One follows. One is left behind. At the very end, Celine is the one at fault for Mi-yeong’s death and is left alone to raise a child that never should have existed.

Summary
Celine tried to be a good mother to Rumi, she really tried. But sometimes she didn’t know how to raise a half-demon child, it was difficult and confusing. Rumi was a tiny hurricane, she’d run around like crazy, she brought dead animals into the house sometimes, she scratched everything, she bit even more.
It was a lot.
And Celine didn’t know what to do.

Summary
"Come on Celine! It'll be fun, I promise!" Zoey exclaimed, pulling her too tall mentor along.
Celine stammered, trying to find an excuse. She glanced to her right, noticing what Zoey was doing.
A livestream.
Fuck.
My favorite fics involved either fluff, putting Rumi through a MEAT GRINDER, or unhinged shit. Or Celine having a bad time but not being a bad parent. Or my AUs of Kpop demon hunters.
This is unhinged shit mixed with two of my AUs from tumblr, an AU where Celine is a reincarnated fan from our world and an AU where Celine has the power to mimic demons because of the Honmoon.
(Or— a fic where someone reincarnated as Celine, gets stressed tf out, and is trying her best to not do very bad shit and break out of character.)

Summary
The shadows were always there, following her when she was alone. The whispers haunted her in the darkness, telling her she didn’t deserve to live, because she was a demon with no feelings.
When Rumi offered the sword to her, Celine took it as a sign. A sign that the universe was ready to let her go. Like an invitation, offered at the most opportune time.
(She was ready to tear it all down.)
“Why?!” Rumi asked her.
Celine didn’t care anymore. All she wanted was to be released from her pain.
Celine, pushed to the edge of her sanity, makes a choice–and there's no turning back.
AKA
A very suicidal version of Celine sees Rumi holding out her sword as a sign.

Summary
Celine is at the tree again. As the Honmoon falls apart, she gets an unexpected visitor—Rumi.
Faced with a choice, her hands tremble as she places them on the blade that Rumi offers to her.
Blood on her hands. A ghostly voice asking her for a promise.
(Death doesn’t discriminate.)
But for Celine, the next choice is obvious, because she made a promise and took on a role that she’s never been able to live up to.
Even if her choices back then make her irredeemable, in this moment, she chooses not to give in to the impulse to use the sword on someone who actually deserves it—herself.
