I'd sooner die than bury you (grieving, grieving, constantly grieving) by ILovedHerAndSometimesSheLovedMeToo
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
17 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.
Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.
(She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)
Or
As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.

I am tired of myself today (I should like to be someone else) by ILovedHerAndSometimesSheLovedMeToo
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
27 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
A chill swept through Rumi as, suddenly, Mira’s body tensed. The hotheaded woman was practically shooting lasers at her screen. For a second, Rumi worried she might actually crack the phone in her shaking hand.
Whatever Mira was looking at was bad.
Then, in what was undoubtedly an unconscious action, Mira’s eyes shot down to her own in a panicked flash.
'Oh,’ Rumi swallowed sharply, ‘so it’s about me.’
Or
A couch doomscrolling day takes a turn for the worse when Huntrix's new comeback promo posters are released. Not everyone is a fan of Rumi's new look.

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
"Zoey lingered in the living room, sinking onto the couch for a moment. She stared at the faint light glowing beneath Mira’s door, listening to the muffled sound of their closeness. She told herself she was glad they had each other—because she was. They deserved that kind of love.
But when she finally padded down the hall to her own room, closing the door behind her, a pang twisted in her chest. She crawled into bed, pulling the blanket up to her chin, and scrolled absently through her phone until the words blurred.
She wished, just for a moment, that she could have joined them. That she could curl up beside them and let herself belong as fully as they belonged to each other.
She sighed, setting her phone aside. The apartment was silent now, but Zoey lay awake, staring at the ceiling. The ache was quiet, unspoken, but it lingered all the same.And in the hush of the night, as Mira and Rumi’s laughter faded to whispers behind their closed door, Zoey whispered to the empty room, “Goodnight.”
No one heard her."Or

Summary
Rumi wraps Mira's hands around the delicate skin of her own throat.
Shaking thumbs press onto cheekbones. Fingers comb into the hair at the base of Rumi's skull. The side of her index lies against the shell of an ear.
Rumi doesn't stop looking at her.
"Prove it," she challenges softly. Pressing further into Mira's sweaty palms. "Prove you were willing to kill me."
Her arms both feel like they're about to give out. Unable to hold. Let alone squeeze; maim; or do anything other than this.
"Don't ask that of me," Mira nearly hisses in a whisper. Voice sharp around a sob.
"You said you tried to kill me," Rumi says softly. Smiling at her in a way that reminds her of a new flower. All rolled up and delicate. Easily broken. "I want you to prove it."

Summary
The first shiver curled up her spine like fire, crawling through her muscles and making her knees buckle. Her lungs burned with every ragged breath, and a pressure rose behind her eyes so intense it felt like they might shatter. Bones creaked and shifted unnaturally. Her fingers were stretched into sharp claws, her ribs bent unnaturally and every tendon screamed in protest. Rumi collapsed onto the floor, her teeth gnashing as fur erupted along her arms and spine, prickling, itching, spreading in angry, hot waves.
Faintly she registers that she is lying in some back alley, and not confined in the safety of the basement like usual. No chains to hold her down, no steel door to prevent her rampage. As panic flooded her whole body, she picked up the soft voices of her two closest friends slowly coming closer, before everything went black and her mind was overtaken by something else.Or in other words: A werewolf Rumi fanfic

Summary
Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.
Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.
Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
“For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”Kang Mira sent you $501.00
“lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”
Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

Summary
HUNTR/X stand beneath the golden lights, flawless to the world. But beneath the gloss of devotion and harmony lie instincts sharp as fangs, and a truth no fan could ever imagine.
Rumi: perfect Alpha leader (falling apart).
Mira: nesting disaster (also falling apart).
Zoey: sunshine maknae (holding them together by accident).The Golden Tour was supposed to be easy. Instead, rut, heat, and jealousy tighten around them like a snare. Fame is the stage. Desire is the battlefield.

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.)

Summary
Celine tried to be a good mother to Rumi, she really tried. But sometimes she didn’t know how to raise a half-demon child, it was difficult and confusing. Rumi was a tiny hurricane, she’d run around like crazy, she brought dead animals into the house sometimes, she scratched everything, she bit even more.
It was a lot.
And Celine didn’t know what to do.

Summary
Rumi was aware of all of the small, invisible things that her girls did to show that they care. That they were still there, ready for their Rumi to come back to them. But their Rumi was a coward. She could not face them yet. She didn’t know what language she could use to tell them how sorry she was. She did not know if there were words that could bare her soul that would allow them to forgive her. She didn’t think she had the strength to even try.
-or-
After the Idol Awards, the girls are broken, defeated, and hurt. Before they can have their happy ending, they need to heal and learn how to hope again, and maybe just maybe fall in love along the way

Summary
"Rumi, just... just stay there," Zoey's voice cracked, breaking open.
But Rumi couldn't. Her body screamed to move, to reach them. Another shin-kal hissed past her cheek, close enough to sting, a warning.
Three girls. Three friends. Three lovers.
Though none had ever dared speak it aloud.
And now, weapons raised, tears burning their cheeks, they stood on opposite sides of a fracture too deep to bridge.
The promise lay shattered at their feet.
To the ends of the earth...?

Summary
“We are Hunters voices strong,” the demon’s voice echoed from the fog. The five hunters stiffened, their grips on their weapons tightening.
“Slaying demons with our song.”
“Quiet!” Baby snapped. “A demon has no right to recite our oath!”
“Fix the world and make it right,” the demon continued as though it hadn’t heard him.
“How does it know the words?” Romance asked the others in a whisper.
“When darkness finally meets the light.”
Gathered in a tight circle with their backs to each other, they desperately searched the fog but found nothing.
“What does it want?” Abby asked.
“Demons don’t want. It’s just trying to upset us,” Baby reminded him.
“Isn’t it odd?” its voice closer than before. “What does your oath mean by that? Why isn’t it demanding the darkness be driven away? Why does it seek to meet the darkness as though it were a friend, rather than an enemy?”
No one answered. Not because they refused to, but because they didn’t have one.
Mystery shook his head. “It’s trying to make us question our code. We can’t let it plant those seeds of doubt.”
Little did they know that those seeds had already taken root in Jinu's mind.

Summary
Mira remembered hearing something once about a so-called honeymoon phase.
Did she know anything real about it? Fuck, no. Because while Zoey was rambling on about it — literally grinding down on Mira’s thigh on the couch one night after Rumi had already gone to bed — Mira had been far more invested in trying to get her mouth on Zoey’s tits through her hoodie.
OR
After the bathhouse, everything changed. Maybe just not in the way they’d hoped.

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
Polytrix Week 2025 Day 3 -- Pre-Debut
---
Rumi doesn't always pick up on social cues, and yes she is woefully lacking in her ability to pick up on pop culture references that are more recent than the early 00s, but she's not oblivious. If nothing else she's figured out how spot patterns over time. Learned how to recognize them for what they are and how to best respond to those patterns, even when it's not something that has ever come naturally to her.So when Mira and Zoey start whispering quietly to each other in between sparring sessions Rumi sees it happen. Watches as they toss each other playful grins and pass notes between them like she's watched other teenagers do in the movies. Observes that there is a pattern of closeness between Mira and Zoey that exists entirely outside of Rumi.
Without her.

Summary
How far can a human go before they burn out? How far could Rumi go before she has nothing left to give?
Rumi's slip up on the train days before the Idol Awards leads to a discovery neither Mira or Zoey are prepared for. Instead of confronting Rumi about her patterns they decide it's best to wait it out.
Poor Rumi was already stressed enough as it is.
Everything that could go wrong has already gone wrong. It couldn't get worse, right?

Summary
“Rumi! Calm down!” Mira swallowed hard. She tried to be as gentle as she could while applying pressure to her back. She couldn’t even imagine how much it hurt. “We’re right here! Just try to breathe!”
“We’re not going to leave your side!” The tears in Zoey’s eyes started to trail down her cheeks. She pressed her hand with a new towel up against her friend’s thigh first. “We’re right here! Just-” She cut herself off as she went to place her hand on Rumi’s arm. She froze with her facial expressions falling.
Tears started to cascade down Rumi’s face as she watched Zoey’s eyes widen, her pupils dilate and her whole body pull back just slightly.
The rapper’s gaze had fallen onto her exposed demon patterns.
Rumi let out a long trembling breath followed by a harsh whine.
She had to cover them up.
~or~
Jinu's soul has long since lost its humanity. There is no kindness nor empathy that remains. Instead, there is hatred fueled by shame that he directs towards this generation of Hunters. So when he learns one of these Hunters is half demon, that raging hatred explodes. Exposed in the bathhouse, Rumi doesn't have a choice whether or not her friends get to see the patterns she hides.

Six months after the Idol Awards, Huntr/x is stronger than ever. Rumi and Mira have healed from their trauma, but Zoey has been disappearing. One skipped meal, one careful lie at a time.
Convinced she failed them when they needed her most, Zoey remains trapped in that moment—convinced she's the weak link they have to carry, perfecting the art of being invisible while standing in the spotlight.
But even the best disappearing acts eventually come to an end.
