Summary
The sensible part of Rumi knew that any fight could be her last. All it took was for some demon to get a lucky hit, and it would be curtains. But a secret part of her loved to fight, to feel the adrenaline pumping through her system, to have her life balanced on nothing but their song and her blade’s edge.
Or
A series of loosely connected post-cannon snippets exploring Rumi, her relationship with her patterns and her journey to realising she is not alone.

Summary
"I did you guys a favor, you know."
Zoey hummed, doing another turn, another scan of their surroundings.
"Y'think so?"
Rumi shifted her hands in a stretch–Zoey saw Mira's scowl harden, grip tightening on her gokdo–as the woman straightened her arms over her head. The hem of her crop-top lifted slightly, a sliver of pale flesh flashing in Zoey's periphery, teasing just above the waistline of her pants.
Zoey definitely didn't stare.
Too much, anyways.
"I know so," Rumi answered after a moment, shaking her arms out. "Spiro wanted you dead."
And then she shot Zoey a smirk, and that look was all tongue and teeth and promise.
"But I've got more use for you alive."

No way Mira and Zoey could have known kidnapping one woman would cause them so much trouble, right? After all, what does a mafia boss and her loyal enforcer have to fear?

Bookmarker's Notes
This goes on the top shelf fics. It's one of, if not THE best, written fics. Ever. Of all time. Yes, it is that good.
Style, prose, dialogue and characterisation are all top-notch. This fic has it's own plot and story with tension and drama. (hence the top shelf)
Dark Mafia AU fic. Fantastically written, I cannot stress enough, it's like a novel.
It has a lotta angst and gore and smut (normally big no from me but the fic is just THAT good)

Summary
The room was hot. Mira stirred, half-asleep, wondering why the air conditioning wasn't working. The Bellagio had central air. It was always perfect. Why was it so hot?
Something was pressed against her back. Someone. An arm around her waist. Mira's eyes opened.
Wrong ceiling. Wrong room. The walls were beige and water-stained, not the crisp white of her hotel suite.
Her head throbbed. The kind of headache that only came when you'd had too much to drink. The arm around her waist was warm.
An arm around her waist?
Mira looked down. Bare skin. Her bare skin. She was naked. A sinking feeling hit her stomach.
What happened?
Chaebol daughter Kang Mira has never made a choice in her life. K-pop idol Ryu Rumi is rebuilding after a scandal. Cho Zoey works three jobs while her parents call music a hobby.
One Vegas night. One bar. One 4 AM Elvis wedding.
Now they're legally married. Annulment means public record. Divorce takes months. And Kang Mira needs to figure out what the hell she's going to do about it. Even if it's the last thing she does.

Summary
"Which means you," Dr. Choi turns to the other woman, "are my two o'clock appointment. Ryu Rumi?"
"Yes," she says, standing up and extending her hand for a handshake. She has a diplomatic smile on her face, charming and practiced to perfection. Mira can hardly imagine what it's like to be on the receiving end of it.
Dr. Choi, however, is apparently immune. She puts one hand on her waist and looks up at Rumi with a glare. She holds Rumi's client file up with her other.
"Rumi-nim, respectfully, this is the worst intake form I've ever seen in my life. "
Mira holds back a snicker.
Or what if Rumi was werewolf but also was a college professor, and what if Zoey was a vet, and what if Mira had 5 cats and one had IBS too, and they were in a romantic comedy what then

Summary
“It’s true, right? What you did for- for Jinu, for the others–”
Mira sees Rumi’s shoulders slack. “I didn’t do anything,” she says, like she has since the first time this happened.
“You freed them,” the demon insists, the sheen of its eyes making it look desperate.
Mira didn’t think demons could cry, before this started happening.
