Summary
Alex paused, fighting back the lump rising in her throat until she was sure her voice wouldn't shake. “Every time I think I'm starting to get my life together, it gets shattered to pieces right in front of me. How can I be sure it won’t end that way again?”

Summary
A KRCT listener from well outside the radio station's usual radius calls in with a not-so-subtle invitation for its popular DJ. Alex and Steph find their plans to settle down in Haven Springs rocked by the pull of the tide from the Pacific coast. Relationships are created, rebuilt, and tested as the past refuses to stay in the past so long as a final hard truth remains buried.

Summary
It had been weeks since she stumbled into The Black Lantern, broken and bloody, a ghost of the girl Jed failed to kill.
The ghost that maybe, just maybe, should have stayed down at the bottom of the mine. At least, that’s what the nagging voice in the back of her head liked to whisper.(Alex comes home from the hospital. The grief comes with her.)

Summary
Maybe love isn’t a singular moment, at all. Maybe it’s not that one startling second–that one memorable instant they show up--that one giant moment you accept them in–maybe it’s all of them. All of those moments, big and small and scary.
Maybe love is like someone looking at you and making you feel like you deserve that big confession moment where someone shows up at the door…and all the other times they show up at the door in-between.
Maybe love is like someone making you feel like the weirdest things about you aren’t so weird, at all.
Steph falls in love. To her amazement (despite an embarrassing number of successful roll-checks of the d20 in the studio)...so does Alex. (Alex/Steph fic - no shame)

Summary
A small, picturesque town in the mountains with a deep, dark secret. Ghosts waiting to have their stories told. And Gabe - Gabe staring at them from the bottom of the stairs, smiling.
She's never been in one place long enough to be haunted by it. Now that she is, it's always Steph who finds her in the darkness; Steph who throws out a hand like its lifeline is a rope; Steph who shows her that there's more to death than grief and absence. Death, Alex learns, can also be built into a home.
"Tell me what I'm feeling, Alex," Steph murmurs against her lips.

Summary
Zoey and Mira have always been Rumi’s cosmic complements: the higher and lower harmonies that form a perfect triad with her every time they’re in sync. The warmest chord she’s ever heard—intended, euphonious, side by side by side. Inyeon.
Jinu wasn’t like that. He… he was her, just mirrored back. Her dark reflection, an octave down.
The first person she’d ever met in her life who’d rhymed.
[or: after Namsan Tower, Rumi must contend with who she is, who she wants to be, how she communicates, what the girls mean to her, and what Jinu means to her, too... especially considering how she might have eaten his soul, and all.]

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
The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-”
Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.
“-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.
Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.
Or
Mira with Zoey holding her arm in a death grip: Hey, my girlfriend saw you from across the record shop, and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a vinyl?

Summary
the two sat in silence, jarring and imprisoning, for the first time that night. another uncomfortable saxophone solo pierced through the chatter of other patrons in the bar. rumi felt lightheaded.
when the silence between the two became unbearable, zoey breathed a quiet, “fuck.”
rumi was scared to ask. she was scared because she didn’t want the direct confirmation that asking would bring her. rumi and zoey, meeting their exes in the same place, in the same way, having the same lingering feelings and sentiments towards her. rumi knew what that meant. she asked broadly, just in case her assumption was incorrect, “you know mira..?”
only for zoey to laugh pitifully, confirming what rumi already assumed, “yeah. she’s my ex.”
rumi and zoey meet by chance at a local bar. once sparks start to fly between the duo, however, they discover that they have a rather unfortunate link – a shared ex, mira, that neither of them can seem to move on from.

Summary
“ - t’sokay,” Rumi tries to assure Zoey, who's frantically hovering, but her words are slurred. “It only scratched me. I wasn’t bit.” Her back aches from where the werewolf had thrown her, but it’s nothing compared to the pain where its claws had ripped into her.
“Why’d you push me out of the way?” Zoey demands, and there is so much pain in her voice that Rumi wants to reach for her, but Rumi’s hand won’t do anything but twitch uselessly at her ruined side.
“Had to…” Rumi feels woozy, like she’s floating on a cloud, but she still manages a weak smile. “You were in danger… s’worth it…”
“Idiot,” Zoey sobs. “You’re such an idiot, Rumi.”
Rumi wants to laugh but it comes out like a cough, the sound thick and wet, as the red spills out past her smile in a rush.
Ryu Rumi was trained to be a Hunter just like her mother before her. Until one night a Hunt goes horribly wrong and Rumi becomes the very thing she had sworn to destroy.
Years since she fled Korea, Rumi firmly believes her past to be in the past.
Only she’s never been that lucky.

Summary
Her boot catches the edge of a tile and she stumbles.
And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.
“You lost your balance.”
Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.
“Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”
The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.
Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.
OR
basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond.Rumi ofc has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused her with a guise for improvement. (it's giving mother gothel)
Zoey and Mira and even Bobby find out and they all deal with the fallout while also dealing with the saja boys.Slow burn polytrix

Summary
🚨 Update is up 🚨
A billboard lit up the highway, an energy drink ad with their photos: all three of them posed, smiling fake smiles, slogans like “Hunt your fears.” The background showed a colorful digital monster, a play of light and shadow that felt like a gentle tease.
Mira laughed quietly.
“Look, that ad’s still running.”Rumi was about to answer but there was no time.
A sudden white flash, way too close.
Then the sound.
A sharp bang, metal bending. Glass exploding into a thousand shards.
And then silence.
-OR-
The hunters are forced to face their most human side, and learn that they are not as invincible as they think.
⚠️ Expect gore, trauma, and a heavy dose of medical realism (I volunteer as an EMT, so I went a little wild with the details).

She wants them.
She wants Mira and Zoey so badly, in whatever way, shape, or form that comes in.
For once in her life, Rumi wants to be selfish.
Or: HUNTR/X works towards sealing the Honmoon and falls in love along the way. Pre-reveal Rumi, hiding both her patterns and her wants, loves her girls in whatever way she can until she's free (whether that means shielding Mira and Zoey in fights or pretending to be something she's not). She just has to hold out until the Honmoon’s golden. Straightforward enough, right?

Summary
Rumi’s mind wanders, desperate for a change of subject. Her gaze lands on the two women who’ve been repeatedly plaguing her mind ever since she saw them step out of the limousine. Mira grins and sips on her drink, listening intently to whatever Zoey’s saying, the shorter girl gesticulating her hands wildly in the air. An ache settles in Rumi’s sternum, and that thought, that possibility—the possibility that this show can actually work—rattles through her skull.
“Hey, Celine?” she starts, not looking away from the view ahead of her. “I know it’s unconventional, but can I give out two First Impression Roses?”
Celine considers her words and follows her gaze. She presses her lips into a thin line, then she shrugs in acceptance. “Sure. After all, you’re the Bachelorette.”

Summary
“Hey, babe. Been looking everywhere for you.”
The voice was low, honeyed, warm in all the right places. It fell over Rumi in a way the man’s voice hadn’t, settling into her bones and gnawing faintly, already leaving impressions on her marrow.
And yet another touch, this one lighter, a palm splayed across the small of her back, a second body pressing into hers from behind.
“Yeah, we thought we lost you for a sec there.” This voice, a little higher, but no less deadly.
Not one, but two strangers.
“Can’t you see you’re interrupting something?” the guy snapped at them.
“Can’t you see,” the first voice mocked, “she’s not yours?”
OR
Two women step in when a guy gets pushy with Rumi at a bar. What happens after is meant to be a one-night stand, nothing more.
But rarely do things turn out exactly the way they're meant to.
