    Summary

    “Rumi,” Zoey’s voice is impossibly soft, “why wouldn’t I tell you that you’re good?”

    Rumi shrugs, feeling raw and exposed in the way she always does after kneeling for them.

    She considers the question: she just wasn’t brought up that way. There was never any need for praise or affirmation as a form of encouragement. Not when there were other forms so readily available – imminent choking forms, creeping steadily across her body.

    A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.

    Summary

    A collection of works set in the Kpop Demon Hunters universe!

    Loosely interconnected and featureing certain consistent concepts throughout - like the fact that the Honmoon is semi-sentient, Huntr/x are basically soulmates, and oh, of course, dog-motive Rumi :)

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    Part I - Canon compliant work, follows the girls' story before, during and after the movie.
    Part II - Canon divergence, Rumi dies (They find her in the dirt by the tree)
    Part III - Canon compliant, Rumi, longing and loneliness.
    Part IV - Technically canon compliant, Huntr/x explicitly as soulmates.
    Part V - Canon divergence, Mira and Zoey remembering moments they had with Rumi after her death.
    Part VI - hopefully coming soon ;)

    – .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –

    Or: in which the author has a agony write-off with themself (according to their readers).

    Summary

    Maomao’s world is shattered by a brutal attack. Jinshi offers her his home, but more importantly, he offers his unwavering presence—a quiet refusal to let her face the encroaching darkness alone.

    This is not a tale of palace schemes; it's a raw, intimate journey through the aftermath of trauma. It's about the slow, agonizing process of rebuilding, the power of deep emotional intimacy, and the quiet kind of love that doesn't demand, but gently waits for a broken spirit to mend. Can Maomao learn to trust again, to love again, when survival has been her only language?

    If you’re seeking a truly slow-burn romance, a character-driven epic, and a story that will stay with you long after the last word, you’ve found it. Prepare to be wrecked in the best way.

    -
    This takes place in a mostly canon timeline, with no major LN spoilers (but characters like Chue appear). The only major difference in the timeline is Gyokyou DOES NOT have kids and ANIME SPOILER - is NOT Empress (Jinmao fans enjoy!)

    The setup for this is inspired by The Worth of a Life. I used ChatGPT to help write the story and expand my vision, but the storyline and character arcs are all directly controlled by me

    Summary

    Near the end of her pregnancy Concubine Gyokuyou is attacked in the middle of the night. Maomao steps in to defend her and while fighting for her life ends up taking the life of the attacker while sustaining serious injuries.

    While Jinshi steps in to care for her physically, Maomao deals with the mental turmoil of taking a life.

    With Maomao vulnerable and Jinshi doing his best to be patient with her, something begins to bloom between them.

    --

    Complete self-indulgent slow-burn/fluff because I'm sad we didn't get it when Maomao saved Jinshi.

    Summary

    Maomao has a lot of secrets that she keeps from Jinshi - but when one of her deadliest comes back to haunt her Jinshi gets caught in the crossfire and is kidnapped.

    But Maomao is a forced to be reckoned with when you mess with the people she loves and nothing will stop her from getting Jinshi back

    --

    I truly think that Maomao has all the attributes needed (except a lack of morals) to be an assassin and couldn't get the idea out of my head.
