Bookmarker's Notes
Some kinds of relationships would outlast just about anything, and though Sun Xiang didn’t have anyone to compare against he would bet that “time traveler and the person they trusted not to send them to an asylum for sharing” qualified. There were so many things Sun Xiang wasn’t going to bring up to anyone else, and Ye Xiu was like a lake of calm.

Summary
When the patterns first appeared on young Rumi's shoulder, Celine did not flinch. She wrapped the child’s arm in silk and said nothing of demons. Only: "We'll get you some longer sleeves."
Raised behind the shrine, trained in the disciplines of blade and voice, Rumi grows into the leader of HUNTRIX—a new generation of demon-hunters defending the Honmoon. Strong. Respectful. Obedient. And always hiding the mark of her true heritage. Rumi believes she can control it. Fix it. Earn her place.
Until the illusion shatters.
When everything falls apart, Rumi returns to the only home she's ever known—her sword in one hand, her shame in the other. She offers Celine the chance to do what hunters were always taught to do: slay demons. Protect the Honmoon. But how can Celine act when her love and duty collide?

“Demons take,” she told the girl. “They twist. They burn through whatever’s good and use the rest like a mask.”
“But what if they don’t mean to?” Rumi had asked once.
Celine smiled gently. “Then it’s even more important to stop them before they do harm.”

Summary
Rumi shrugs. “It’s just… one of those days, I guess.”
She doesn’t say which kind, but she knows they’ve both had them. It’s the kind where the weight of being left out isn’t in anyone else’s actions, only in the gap she doesn’t know how to cross. Where the warmth of the room makes her ache because she can’t quite find a way to let it in.
Rumi always thought her patterns would fade once the Honmoon was sealed, but they didn’t. And now they seem to respond to her emotions.

“First of all,” she says, “you do make things harder. Like, objectively. You talk in riddles and vanish from group chats for hours. You hate all the movies I love. And once, you made us walk uphill for twenty minutes because you thought you saw a shortcut.”
Rumi blinks, caught off guard.
“But also,” Zoey continues, her expression gentler now, “you make everything better, too. Even when you don’t mean to.”

Summary
Jinu can’t leave without Gwi-Ma’s permission, but sometimes he stands under the open and roiling sky and watches the barrier cascade in musical waves overhead, thousands of glimmering blue filaments that undulate with deceptive delicacy, offering, if even for a second, a glimpse of an overworld that rouses itself to song. It is not lost on Jinu that he serves a warped inverse of that purpose down here.
But demons don’t flock to his music. They shy away from it, wilting rather than blooming, because on a very literal level they understand that his voice isn’t for them. Gwi-Ma is a jealous god, and he cannot abide it if the rewards that his gifts reap don’t return to him, always, in the end.
Or: In which Jinu makes choices (a real mixed bag of them), trips into a situationship, regrets everything, lies to himself and others, and decides he wants to be a better person after all, actually—not necessarily in that order.

AU where Rumi's final song isn't strong enough to stop Gwi-Ma, but it is strong enough to save the other HUNTR/X girls.
In the ruins of the world, Jinu goes to Gwi-Ma to collect his reward.

He gripped one of the golden bars of her cage. “You don’t deserve this,” he whispered to her.
He searched her face for a sign of a smile, for any sort of comfort. But her eyes were dead, her gaze hollow.
“We deserve worse,” she said.

“Take the voices,” Jinu said, desperation making his voice hoarse and strained. “I don’t want… I don’t want to remember anything. I gave you back your kingdom… Take them away!”
Gwi-Ma laughed harder, his flames popping at the burst of hysterics. “And for what? We both know you’ll just go and betray someone else. I’ve told you, your only interest is yourself. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s your nature. But what you really want is to be free of your patterns. And to do that… You would have to be someone else.”

It’s not that Shen Qingqiu sees Shang Qinghua and thinks "oh thank god, you're here", but it’s a pretty damn close thing because, in a different world, a different life, Shen Yuan offhandedly offered to edit a novel.

"Nobody should concern themselves with you!" Galinda yelled. "Especially not when I'm literally right here for them to concern themselves with!"
"Trust me, if I could offload their attentions onto you, I would in a tick-tock."
"And they come to me and complain about you through me, and they're all just so bad at it! It's infuriating!"
Elphaba blinked, then turned around. "'Bad at it'? Bad at what?"
"At complaining about you!"

"Honestly, listen to them! 'Oh she's so ugly, she's so angry, she's so green,' as if those aren't things that any dimwit could notice! They say that they hate you as much as I do, but they don't have a single clue what you're like! Oh, they hate you because you're green? And they think that that can hold a candle to my loathing? HA! Do they hate you because of how you never bother to do your hair even though you clearly know how to do it since you help Nessarose with hers? Do they hate you because you noisily tap your quill against the table when you're thinking? Do they hate you for the way you sneer when you've irritated someone in some sneaky way and you think you've gotten away with it? NO! They hate you because you're green! 'We share your loathing.' Absolutely not! They don't have a single clue what hating you is really like, and I wish they'd stop trying to butt in about it!"

Summary
Three facts, not written on the brochures he'd picked up from the stand outside:
- Unlike most other shark species, blacktip reef sharks are known to cooperate in a hunt, relying on one another to catch their prey. It is the only shark species in which altruistic behaviour has been recorded.
- It’s fifteen minutes to closing time and so it’s highly likely that no, Jinu would not be able to buy the whale shark plush toy that he so wanted from the gift shop after all.
- Under the fluorescent lights of the aquarium tunnels, Rumi’s hair looks iridescent — shimmers like the glittering schools of fish flitting around overhead, wayward strands speckled silver under the soft glow, and Jinu has never wanted to kiss her more.

“I’m sorry for teasing you earlier,” he apologises, sincerity in his voice. “I know it’s hard for you.”
“I’m used to it,” Rumi replies, voice trembling like a crescent of light on the water’s edge, “I’m not perfect, but we have to be. Our faults and fears must never be seen, and all that. No cracks.” She reaches out to grip her arm. A habit, a slip.

“I thought you weren’t ashamed of them anymore.”
Rumi eyes Jinu in the mirror, scowling. “I’m not. It’s just… weird to have them out all the time.”
Jinu, who also has his patterns out all the time and once called them a constant reminder of my shame, shrugs where he’s leaning against the open door frame. “So cover them up.”
“I just—wouldn’t that make me a hypocrite? I sing this huge song about friendship and loving myself and then I go right back to being scared to show my bare arms in front of my two closest friends. It’s ridiculous. I’m ridiculous.”
“Your words, not mine.”
Or: Living is harder than dying. Jinu and Rumi move forward.

Zoey leans against her, eyebrows raised, as they bicker. “Wow. It’s kind of impressive how mean they are to each other. Can we keep him?”
and
“Too bad!” Rumi says, and jabs a finger into his chest. “If I get to be happy, then so do you. But we both have to stop pretending that it’s conditional. You don’t unlock happiness by filling a ‘pain and suffering for your past sins’ quota. It’s like hope—you have to choose it. I’m choosing it, even though it’s hard. I’m asking you to choose it too. Not because you deserve it, but because it’s not about deserving.”

“You just did what you thought was right,” Rumi says firmly. She draws strength from the truth of it, the core belief that Zoey and Mira are the best things in her life and have never done wrong by her. Even when they hurt her, it was only because they had all managed to hurt each other. “What you were taught was right. And I can imagine what it must have looked like—I was spiraling and putting distance between us, I was talking about working with demons, I was scaring you—I understand. I don’t want you to think I don’t understand. And you didn’t attack me, you weren’t cruel. You let me go.”

Summary
He’s petty and spiteful and full of mischief and Rumi despises the way his eyes glimmer when he’s got a stupid grin like when she managed to hide candy from Celine as a kid to snack on not-meal-off days.
She much prefers the startled, wide-eyed look of a hissy cat when she manages to get the drop on him, close enough to see the barest flush to his ears and wide, fluttering lashes from shock.
///
Jinu's in Rumi's sword, being as annoying as you can be when you're reduced to a singing voice and flashy lights.
They don't figure this out until after Mira starts wondering if the hallu-Jinu singing along to practice is just in her head or in the others', too.

“You look sad,” Rumi says.
Celine stiffens. Reflexively, she lifts her hand to her cheek—can Rumi see the tear? Or is it something else that betrays her grief?
“I’m not,” Celine snaps, then regrets it once Rumi flinches. Look what you’ve done, she thinks. You’ve shown fear. Softer, she says, “How can I be sad when you’re here, Rumi-ya?”

Summary
“You okay?” Zoey asks, her hand wrapped around Rumi’s. Mira’s hands are braced at her opposite shoulder, keeping her arm steady, and ow— that’s where the demon must have got her. She winces around a sharp inhale.
“You’re okay,” Mira says, firm. “Go slow. I think it dislocated your shoulder on top of scratching you up. Ripped your sweatshirt too, sorry. I know you liked this one.”
It takes Rumi a moment to register what she said. Then, in a move that makes her head spike with a pain that almost takes out her vision entirely, her focus snaps to her arm.
The sleeve of her hoodie is slashed open and gaping. Her patterns are out, shining in the morning sunlight, vivid even through the blood.
She’s up and away before either of them can stop her.
***
The first time Rumi gets hurt after the Idol Awards, a head wound and shock means she forgets that her team now knows about her patterns— and old habits die hard.

“Our faults and fears must never be seen. It’s the only way to protect the Honmoon,” Celine recited, “I instilled that in you all because it was what was instilled in us. But in the end, it caused us to fracture and fail. I thought it was because we didn’t believe in it hard enough, that we didn’t follow it closely enough, but I realize now that I was wrong.”

Summary
The aftermath of the Idol Awards leaves Rumi exhausted, but her sorrow over losing Jinu is short-lived when she discovers not all of him is gone.
Rumi has many heart-to-hearts with her friends, gets her demon not-yet-boyfriend back, and starts discovering all the new powers she has due to being half demon and half hunter. But she’s not the only one changing.
Mira and Zoey get used to the new normal with a new Honmoon and what it all means for them as hunters, as well as the new face among them. Jinu seeks to redeem himself in their eyes but the weight of guilt due to his actions is not an easy hurdle to jump.
Their well deserved rest will not last forever. Between the demons stuck on this side of the Honmoon and those trapped on the other, including those Jinu cares about, they must decide what course of action they want to take and deal with whatever consequences it brings.
Gwi-Ma might’ve been banished to the other side of the new Honmoon but he is not one to go down quietly.
(Or in the aftermath of Gwi-Ma’s defeat, Rumi discovers that Jinu’s soul, albeit weak, is still sticking around. She keeps what remains of him safe, causing a ripple effect that will change things for the better.)

“I just—!” She sniffs, breathing shakily. “I feel like we validated your fears! We— we drew our weapons on you! We didn’t trust you at first! And— and you were so afraid of that exact reaction for years and— I’m sorry! I should be the one apologizing! I— I wasn’t listening after we saw your patterns and I— I—!”

Summary
The fangs take a little getting used to. The next few days are filled with lots of “Can we go to–” and “Did you guys see th–” before Rumi will bite herself, curse, and retreat to the bathroom to clean up, sometimes with Zoey in tow. Mira thinks Zoey’s got a bit of an obsession with the newly sharp edges of Rumi’s teeth, though she can’t say Rumi’s mouth has never intrigued her, either.
Or: Little by little, Zoey and Mira watch Rumi change (and little by little she stays the same).
