Summary
The shadows were always there, following her when she was alone. The whispers haunted her in the darkness, telling her she didn’t deserve to live, because she was a demon with no feelings.
When Rumi offered the sword to her, Celine took it as a sign. A sign that the universe was ready to let her go. Like an invitation, offered at the most opportune time.
(She was ready to tear it all down.)
“Why?!” Rumi asked her.
Celine didn’t care anymore. All she wanted was to be released from her pain.
Celine, pushed to the edge of her sanity, makes a choice–and there's no turning back.
AKA
A very suicidal version of Celine sees Rumi holding out her sword as a sign.

Summary
What could be sadder than the sound of a voice cracking just before it breaks?
The total absence of sound. The total absence of sound when there used to be one.
That was it. That was the saddest thing.Zoey understood that this performance had been their last. That it would never happen again. The rapper felt a little lucky: it's rare to have the privilege of understanding when it's the last time. It comes without warning, and you realize it far too late, when you've forgotten to say goodbye. You never know at the last moment that it's the last. At least they had that: the choice to say goodbye. The last bow for the last return, the last kiss just before the breakup. Like their last waltz, doomed to abandonment, right on the unspeakable and almost unshakeable point, right there, just before the record stopped.
And Zoey cried a little inside because Rumi hadn't had that honor.Rated mature for graphic depiction of violence, description of wounds, no sexual violence, alcohol addiction (not central), mention of occasional self-harm

Summary
Celine didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she met Mi-yeong and Nari. She was the center of their team. But when Celine finds out about Mi-yeong’s relationship with a demon, everything begins to crumble. Only a few demons can break through their powerful Honmoon. They are stronger, more resilient, and unlike any Celine has fought in the past. And Mi-yeong just happens to be meeting one of them. In secret.
(In the dark, searching for answers, she finds the two alone in an alleyway.)
Mi-yeong’s choice risks everything the demon hunters fight for. Mi-yeong must now make a choice, because you can’t live with a foot in two worlds, and demons don’t deserve to live. Or do they? Faced with two choices, Celine makes the choice for Mi-yeong, so her friend won’t have to.
(It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this. None of this was ever supposed to happen.)
One passes. One follows. One is left behind. At the very end, Celine is the one at fault for Mi-yeong’s death and is left alone to raise a child that never should have existed.

Summary
Huntr/x gets pulled into a HR meeting by Celine to discuss 'appropriate workplace language', to show a litany of drunk texts Zoey had sent her work phone the night before. Zoey is scandalized, Mira laughs, Rumi scolds Zoey for flirting with her eomma. What Zoey didn't expect was for Celine to sext her on her personal phone later that day with a selfie, inviting her to meet at her office outside of work hours.
So much for appropriate workplace language. Zoey's not letting this chance go to waste, if Celine will let her act on the crush she's had on her since she was a teen, she will! She's going to rizz up that disaster milf no matter what it takes!
Milfchaser Menace Zoey and Mira pursue Loser Milf Alcoholic Celine. Antics that are definitely awkward and unhealthily alcoholic. Drunk Mentor/Protege Sex to be had.

Summary
Celine is at the tree again. As the Honmoon falls apart, she gets an unexpected visitor—Rumi.
Faced with a choice, her hands tremble as she places them on the blade that Rumi offers to her.
Blood on her hands. A ghostly voice asking her for a promise.
(Death doesn’t discriminate.)
But for Celine, the next choice is obvious, because she made a promise and took on a role that she’s never been able to live up to.
Even if her choices back then make her irredeemable, in this moment, she chooses not to give in to the impulse to use the sword on someone who actually deserves it—herself.
AKA
Celine POV after Idol Awards, expanding a bit on another fic I’m working on, Sunlight Can’t Escape the Darkness.

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
She started to recognize it as a constant, something she would always expect to see on Celine’s face when she often grew quiet towards her, and Rumi couldn’t figure out why. She was right there, wasn’t she? How could Celine look at her like she missed her, like she didn’t know where she went, when she never left her? It was in the way she sighed, exasperated, as Rumi stumbled on the same sequence for the fifth time, tripping over her own feet and falling hard onto her forearms as her practice staff flew into the surrounding trees.
Celine loved her, but she didn't want her.

Summary
“I’m nothing like you,” Mira snapped, jabbing a finger in the air. “I would never make Rumi feel like that!”
“Is that why you turned your weapon on her?”
The words ripped Mira’s breath out of her lungs. She only just now noticed that tears were streaming down her face. Her lip quivered.

when rumi shares the truth about moment under the tree after the idol awards, mira only feels white-hot rage -- and confronts their ex-mentor. what she finds instead, however, is something familiar looking back.

Summary
The way Celine raised Rumi nearly destroyed everything. It tore Huntrix apart and almost let Gwi Ma claim his ultimate victory. But in the end the members of Huntrix learned to accept themselves and saved the day.
But can they accept Celine after what she put them through? After what she put Rumi through? What possible reason could she have for her actions?
An effort to explain Celine and humanize her. Even if she can't be forgiven, perhaps she can be understood and accepted. And perhaps her relationship with Rumi isn't beyond saving.

Summary
Celine had had more than her fair share of trauma. She supposed it was an unavoidable aspect of the life of a Hunter and she handled it the best she could. She had spent years fighting soul-sucking abominations, raised the half-demon baby of her dead best friend and saw that very same daughter nearly turning to demon-hood in a fit of rage. But rarely did something come close to shake her as much as what she saw that evening in Rumi’s room.
Oneshot set after the first (hopefully) movie: what if Celine came to learn about Rumi's... situationship? -

Summary
The tiger raised a paw, trying to smooth out one of the curling corners as the bird rolled its eyes. A hand rested on its head, making it look up at its owner. The demon smiled down at the familiar, reaching out to smooth out the corner for it.
“Don't worry,” the golden-eyed man said. “It’s only just beginning.”
Or, when Huntr/X come back from their hiatus after the Idol Awards, they're shocked to see that not only are the Saja Boys, who they'd thought dead after the battle with Gwi-Ma, alive and well, but they're back, and building up more fans and supporters again. With their king dead, what do these demons want with the Idol world?
Author's note:
This is not a happy Jinu/Rumi fic. Their love is mutual, but it is not good for them, especially not Rumi. Jinu is not a good person in this and as much as Rumi might want him to, he does not have her best interests at heart. Read the tags. I'd put Dead Dove Do Not Eat but people associate that with darkfics, which this is not. Their relationship is central to the plot, which is why it is tagged.
Don't like, don't read.
