    Summary

    "Celine," the demon says. Her jaw clenches, but her grip on the child does not tighten. She refuses to look at him, for she has seen enough of his red-rimmed gaze and shaking, bloodied hands to know that there is nothing to see that is new, nor worth her attention. "I need to know she's safe with you. But I also know what hunters are taught about us, and I—"

    "I would never harm Miyeong's child," Celine says.

    "And mine?" he asks, in that same wretched voice she loathes so much, his eyes burning in the dark. "Would you harm my child?"

    She's not yours, something inside Celine wants to scream. She's Miyeong's. She doesn't belong to you. You will be nothing but ruin for her.

    Don't take her from me too.

    Or: With her dying breath, Ryu Miyeong entrusts her daughter's care to both of her loves. Neither of them can bear to refuse. Rumi grows up with both her father and Celine, and it changes everything.

    Summary

    Rumi adds, dismissively sweet, "Do you even know your way around a sword?"

    A beat.

    To his credit, Jinu isn't always predictable.

    Between one blink and the next, Rumi throws her blade up with a harsh clang! as a curved hwando comes flashing towards her throat, wreathed in sickly pink fire and little more than a wicked blur in Jinu's hands that flings up a spray of discordant sparks where it clashes against her own, sending a hard jolt through her arms—and Jinu grins down at her over their crossed blades, the tip of a fang peeking out crookedly over his bottom lip.

    "I don't know," he says, eyes dancing. "You tell me."

    Or: Rumi discovers that Jinu can use a sword. They unlock a new dimension to their fighting-as-flirting strategy.

    Summary

    and other ways to stay alive when your captain's missing in action after your entire crew lost a fight
    (the Heart Pirates stage a cooperative breakout from Blackbeard's prisons)

    Garp stares at him, and then stares at Shachi, and Shachi can see when he spots the scrap from Shachi's boiler suit with the crew's jolly roger on it that he turned into an armband when he sacrificed the rest of his top for bandages. “You’re the Heart Pirates.”
    “At your service,” Shachi says, only a little bit sarcastically. “Answer the question.”

    Summary

    "I'm happy you're here, you know that?" Rumi says. "Not just for me, but for you. I'm really glad you got a second chance."

    "I am too," Jinu whispers. "I would've died for you. I came so close—"

    She kisses his knuckles again, eyes stinging a little. "I know."

    He speaks in a rush, as if worried that she won't let him finish. "I'm glad I didn't. I like being alive. But—you gave me something so important, I didn't know any other way to give you something back. I didn't feel like I had anything worth giving, except my life, and my soul—I've spent so long just hating myself, wasting it, but if I could've given it to you—"

    "Jinu," Rumi says, "Jinu."

    "You gave me my soul back," he says wetly, squeezing her hand. "And now... I'm doing my best to take care of it."

    Or: Rumi's demon heritage, Jinu's newfound soul, Zoey and Mira's love that now has a safe place to land. Everything is gentle, and everyone lives.

    Summary

    The aftermath of the Idol Awards leaves Rumi exhausted, but her sorrow over losing Jinu is short-lived when she discovers not all of him is gone.

    Rumi has many heart-to-hearts with her friends, gets her demon not-yet-boyfriend back, and starts discovering all the new powers she has due to being half demon and half hunter. But she’s not the only one changing.

    Mira and Zoey get used to the new normal with a new Honmoon and what it all means for them as hunters, as well as the new face among them. Jinu seeks to redeem himself in their eyes but the weight of guilt due to his actions is not an easy hurdle to jump.

    Their well deserved rest will not last forever. Between the demons stuck on this side of the Honmoon and those trapped on the other, including those Jinu cares about, they must decide what course of action they want to take and deal with whatever consequences it brings.

    Gwi-Ma might’ve been banished to the other side of the new Honmoon but he is not one to go down quietly.

    (Or in the aftermath of Gwi-Ma’s defeat, Rumi discovers that Jinu’s soul, albeit weak, is still sticking around. She keeps what remains of him safe, causing a ripple effect that will change things for the better.)
