    Summary

    Rumi’s stomach churns at the thought of seeing Celine again after how they left things off before she ran head-first into Gwi-ma’s not-so-little deathtrap, but she walks up the steps without thinking, the way she always used to, past the gate and across the familiar stone path, and then knocks on the front door.

    “Celine,” she calls, and then she hears it. The soft, slow shuffle of footsteps from inside, drawing nearer and nearer, and then, the sound of the lock turning, and—

    The door opens, and the woman standing in front of them is not Celine.

    If Rumi isn’t actually dead already, her heart stops. “Mom?”

    Ryu Miyeong frowns at her. “‘Mom?’"

    or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.

    Summary

    "Derpy," Mira's voice is firm and tired. "Get down from the counter."

    He looks at Mira, stops what he's doing, and then proceeds to actually get down from the counter. They all freeze.

    "Mira." Rumi blinks. "Mira, he never listens to any of us."

    Zoey's standing in the back with her hands in her hair going: "Whoa! Holy shit! It's you! You're the spirit-demon-tiger whisperer! You're our only hope! Maybe he'll finally stop stealing my food!"

    OR: Rumi brings a giant tiger home. Unfortunately, he only listens to Mira.

    Summary

    Rumi breaks her right hand, which would be less of an issue if she wasn’t so completely incompetent with her left.

    or

    Zoey and Mira find out more about Rumi’s childhood injury.

    (Part 2 of ‘frostbitten’ so you might be mildly confused reading it as a stand alone)

    Summary

    It’s an interesting interview question – one of the more original ones they’ve had recently.

    Was there anything she wanted to be before she wanted to be an idol- a hunter?

    Loved.

    Some treacherous part of her brain supplies.

    In which Rumi learns to love and be loved.
