    Summary

    Rumi startled awake to a scream. It was a sound she’d never heard before, and one that chilled her to her very core.

    “Mama?” she whimpered, rubbing her heavy eyes.

    The scream came again, and Rumi flinched. In front of her Derpy had jumped to his feet, back arched, fur standing on end as he hissed and spat at something in the garden.

    Rumi thought the scream sounded like Mama. Though she’d never heard her scream, she had heard Mama call her name a million times. And it sounded like she had screamed Rumi’s name.

    Suddenly, Rumi found herself airborne. A sickly purple glow wrapped around her, and long clawed fingers circled her ribcage.

    The distance grew between herself and Mama with those clawed hands dragging her away.

    “Mi-yeong?! Rumi?!” The deeper voice of Eomma rang out in their small back garden.

    “Celine! Get Rumi! They want Rumi!” Mama screeched. “They came for Rumi, and I can’t reach her!"

    Summary

    Pre-Debut AU: After a tense year of training, auditions, and zero progress towards sealing the Honmoon, Rumi and Mira finally find a clue as to where to find their third member. Unfortunately for them, that means a trip to Los Angeles without any buffers between them.
    Rumi has secrets.
    Mira has a short fuse.
    Zoey has anxiety because things are finally working out for her and all of a sudden there's this hot couple that keeps showing up and flirting with her and running away but also encouraging her to show all of the parts she's struggling to keep hidden and she's barely holding things together as it is.

    Or

    Insecurity via comedy of errors; Zoey is insecure about being too much and too weird, Rumi is insecure about if she’s actually fit to be a leader and being out in the world for the first time, Mira is insecure about why Rumi keeps her at arms length all of the time and whether she actually stands a chance of being more than someone to criticize.

    Summary

    To save Zoey from whatever spiral she was sinking into, Rumi prompts. “So uh, how’s my honey latte thing coming?”

    “Oh!” Zoey hesitates. “I actually have three of them, I just can’t decide which foam design I think you’d like best.”

    Three drinks.

    Interesting.

    After graduating early from high school, Zoey moves to Korea with her father to work at her grandparent's coffee shop. Rumi works as an intern at Sunlight entertainment, quietly scouting for her fellow demon hunters. The Honmoon doesn’t so much bring them together so much as it’s forced to bear witness to their bumbling attempts at friendship.

    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.
