Summary
"Of all the women in this stupid village, they had to pick me"
When Mira's name is chosen to be sent to the demon king as his bride, she knew it was a death sentence. Gwi-Ma was known to devour souls, and she knew he would devour hers.
But when she's taken to meet the demon king...
Mira looked up to see his face— "Oh!" For the second time tonight, Mira was startled to see a young woman's face. The demon king wasn't a king at all. She was a demon queen. Her eyes were a soft brown, though when she stepped into the light, they reflected with a golden hue. The tiger striped patterns were on her face and neck too. She wasn't human, that was for certain.
But she didn't seem dangerous either.
OR
Rumi gets sent two brides she didn't ask for and she can't seem to get either of them to go home.

Summary
Seconds before an electromagnetic pulse wipes out the Reapers and takes all Quantum Entanglement Communications with it, Miranda receives a message from the Shadow Broker.
When the dust settles, Shepard is left to pick up the pieces of herself and decide, once and for all, who she wants to be without the Alliance or the Council’s influence. She should want peace and quiet, a white picket fence to park herself in with Liara. The universe certainly seems to expect it of her.
Unfortunately for the universe, Shepard can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble. Habits like that are hard to break.

Summary
“Rumi?” Mira questioned uncertainly. The demons had frozen as well, staring at Rumi as she stared back. The tense silence stretched. The hallway felt like the oxygen had been sucked out and the dim lighting cast shadows all around.
“Rumi, there’s no such thing as half demons. We would know. Celine would have told us. It has to be a trick….” Zoey said but it was clear she still had her own reservations.
And what could Rumi say to that? Celine had said she could find no records of any other half demons, not anywhere in the archive. How could hunters have never encountered a single half demon in the nearly 800 years since the honmoon was created? What were the chances they would meet them now, in this generation, when Rumi herself was one? It felt like a trap. It had to be a trap.
But…
“Rumi?”
“She’s bleeding.” She said softly. “Demons don’t bleed.”

Summary
After a devastating betrayal and a failed attempt to erase herself from the lives of the people she loves most, Rumi becomes trapped in a cruel time loop where every attempt to die only drags her back to the same morning. A mysterious force they know as the Honmoon refuses to let her go, desperately trying to keep her soul intact while insisting she can still “fix” something. As the cycle repeats over and over, Rumi slowly begins to unravel under the weight of grief, self-hatred, and the terrifying possibility that she is being forced to survive for a reason.
