Summary
After months of watching a beautiful woman steal flowers from their garden, Zoey and Mira finally confront her, demanding to go with her and find out if whoever she's dating is worthy of theft - and of her.
They're so earnest and kind about it that Rumi doesn't have the heart to tell them it's for her mother's grave.

Summary
But if there was one thing she’d learnt from the therapy she had gone to after joining Huntrix, when she was finally able to afford it herself, it was that healing took time. A lot more than people liked to admit or wanted to wait for. “This isn’t going to go away overnight. For any of us. But we’re together, and we’ll get through this together. That much I’m certain of”.
-----
Picking up immediately after the fight with Gwi-Ma, and exploring the Huntrix trio as they settle into their new normal.
Figuring out their dynamics and where they stand with each other following the truths revealed and hurt caused, and what the future is going to look like for them now they actually have a moment to breathe.

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.

At the Idol Awards, Mira and Zoey can’t believe the demon onstage was really Rumi—until she tells them to kill her. She takes matters into her own hands when they refuse.

I want to die like a citrus tree (but that's not a milkweed's fate) by ILovedHerAndSometimesSheLovedMeToo
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
17 Oct 2025

Summary
Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.
Or
Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.
“I love you, Celine.”
The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—
“You too,” Celine said back.
‘Pop.’
“Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.”
Or
If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

Summary
Rumi saves them. From themselves, from Gwi-ma’s flames and ire.
But she couldn’t save herself, and perhaps, that’s the way she’d wanted it all along. The feral, snapping creature finally put at ease with its duty done.
(She’s buried at the shrine, lying next to her mother.
Closer to her, than she will ever be to them again)
Or, stars burn out, but this star wasn’t supposed to so soon and it leaves devastating repercussions.

Summary
The aftermath is quiet. When their feet touch back down to the Namsan Tower stage and the bright sunlight cast as they formed new honmoon fades away, night reclaiming Seoul, Rumi doesn't hear the thousands upon thousands of fans surrounding them. She doesn't hear much of anything. She doesn't feel much of anything. It's like her world has narrowed to her hands, and Zoey and Mira's hands clasped in them. But even that feels barely there. She's barely there.
They won. Now they have all the time in the world to pick up the pieces. And for Rumi to learn how to live a life that isn't just waiting to die.
Can definitely be read with the girls as just friends, but if whim carries me to keep this fic going longer than just a few chapters, it could very easily turn into Polytrix.I just think they could really love each other when those walls come down ;)UPDATE: it'll take a bit but we are in fact headed towards Polytrix before this fic ends cuz I NEED IT.
Title based on the beautiful song "Waiting to Die" by Harrison Boe

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.

Summary
"So we could all do our duty! We could all be strong. Be together!”
Rumi is begging.
Rumi is begging and Mira had wanted to be just that, be together, up until five minutes ago – her and Zoey had talked about it in detail, how both of their heart were beating for two people, how easy it had been to fall in love with their leader, how they wanted to try and be more, once they had restored the Golden Honmoon.
But Rumi lied to them.
And Mira finds she doesn’t want her anymore, not right now.
(She doesn’t know, not yet, what she will lose. Destiny laughs into her ears and it is the sound of someone gone mad.)
(They find her in the dirt by the tree, cold and pale and covered in blood.)
– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
(or: Celine does as Rumi begs her to. Grabs the sword and puts down the feral dog kneeling at her feet. There really isn't much more to say.)

Summary
The honmoon loves its chosen. But when it turns golden, it does what it was made to do: keep the demons away.
It can't help that one of the trio is not entirely human.
And so it loves its chosen even as it kills her. The honmoon murders what it loves, and it grieves.
And so it brings her back.

Summary
“Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”
“Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”
-
Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.
“Rumi. Rumi, no.”
Rumi inched closer to the rail.
“Rumi, please don’t.”
Zoey’s foot moved.
Rumi leapt.

Summary
“Don’t you get it? We broke her! We tore apart the bond that tied our souls with her!"
Mira flinched under the intensity of Zoey’s gaze, guilt pooling in her stomach, "We thought we were protecting ourselves..."
Zoey's hands shook as she ran them through her hair.
“P- protecting ourselves?" She huffed out a laugh, "Baby, look at her! Look at what we did! She's alone and it's because of us!"
A heavy silence fell. Zoey's voice dropped, raw and trembling.
"I... I can't... I haven’t felt her in so long, Mir. Neither have you. And it’s been like that for weeks. Weeks. Or have you forgotten and just gotten used to her not being there anymore?"
Mira froze.
“Zoey… I…” Her voice cracked, small and desperate.
She was interrupted, tears spilling freely from Zoey’s eyes, words scrambling together in hiccups.
“I don’t know how to fix it because you two always end up fighting each other and leaving me alone… and that emptiness just keeps getting more obvious.”
(OR - a post-canon story of the 3 month hiatus with HUNTR/X, taking a realistic approach on how rumi's secret unveiled by jinu affected the trio after gwi-ma's defeat.)

A starved dog gone feral in the back of my throat by a_bird_who_is_like_no_other
Fandom: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
30 Sep 2025
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).

A broken soul trapped in the nastiest shell (How can you sleep or live with yourself?) by a_bird_who_is_like_no_other
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

Summary
Rumi doesn’t leave.
She doesn’t want to. Even if she had tried, it would probably have been impossible – Zoey and Mira have positively caged her in, and she doesn’t think there's a way of escaping. She’s basically buried underneath them.
She… she likes it.
The way they don’t seem to shy away from her, the way both of them seem to seek physical contact.
She doesn’t even think that anyone ever hugged her, before she met her team.
And now, she’s here, between her first and best friends – and Zoey keeps burying her head in Rumi’s shoulder, whenever she laughs too much; and Mira’s legs are pressed against her own, and the taller girl absentmindedly grabs her hand every now and then.She thinks she might like it - being held like this.
– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
In which the Honmoon is more than just a shield protecting the world from demons - it is a net, is a connection, it binds souls together and never lets them go again. And it has chosen. Rumi is just left to wonder if, despite of what she is, the other two parts of her soul will be able to love her, still.
