    Summary

    Rumi was born with her mark.

     

    It's nothing odd; most people are. It just means she's younger than her soulmate - that they're out there, somewhere, and she doesn't have to wait to see what it says. It means that someone in the world was born without the words on their wrist - nothing special, either.

     

    It means she came into this world with someone waiting on her.

     

    And to Rumi, that makes all the difference.

     

    Or: Rumi knows her soulmate could never love someone as monstrous as her.

    Summary

    “You smell good,” he growled, voice low and dangerous. His lips hovered near her neck, the warmth of his breath brushing her bare skin. “So sweet... it makes me want to bite you.”
    ...
    “You always drive me crazy, Rumi,” he murmured.
    ...
    His words were soft. Dangerous. Honest.

    Summary

    Jinu died—he sacrificed himself, surrendering his soul to Rumi to save the people and repair the Honmoon. Or so he thought. Instead of oblivion, he wakes in a strange limbo, caught between worlds.

    Time loses meaning as he drifts, lulled by the haunting beauty of Rumi’s voice echoing through the void. He doesn’t know how long he remains, listening, yearning, until at last Rumi’s voice calls to him—not with a song, but a command. Come back. And somehow, impossibly, he does.

    Or—

    An AU where Jinu is transformed into Rumi’s sword and strangely soul bound to her.

    And after four hundred years, it is Rumi—and perhaps her friends—who teach him not just how to survive, but how to truly live again. With him, danger follows.

    Listen, if you can portray thirsty women that well on top of lead-footing the hotness of the male lead… you knew what we were gonna do with/to demon!Jinu

    it's smut. the answer was smut.

    “You’re… amazing. I can’t feel Gwi-ma’s presence here at all.”
    He lifts his hand to her face, and Rumi closes her eyes in anticipation.

    He freezes at the sight of his midnight skin, fingers tipped with wickedly curved nails.
    Jinu laughs bitterly. “Which also means I don’t have enough power to hold the illusion.”
    “We can't fix it if we never face it,” she murmurs, leaning in to rest her cheek in his palm. “But your patterns don’t need to be fixed.”
    “Yours don’t either.”

    Summary

    Buddhists believe when someone dies, their soul is held for 49 days between death and rebirth. Because a soul without a body in a transient state can better accept the law of truth, it can gain enlightenment and move on to the next life.

    Day 11
    Rumi isn't keeping it a secret. Not really.

    She hasn't announced to Mira and Zoey that a dead demon's pets have adopted her, but she's not hiding it.

    Mira comes in holding mock-ups of the new shirt for Comeback and is met with Rumi reading a magazine on top of a blue tiger.
