    Summary

    Rumi looks down. “Your soul,” she whispers mournfully, enraptured by the blue light trickling out of his chest. “It’s beautiful.”

    Jinu smiles.

    Gently, he presses his forehead against hers. Rumi jolts, eyes widening, but to his relief, she doesn’t pull away.

    “My soul,” he echoes softly. “It’s yours, now.”

    Rumi opens her mouth, but no words escape her as she gapes at him. A tear cascades down her cheek.

    “It’s mine to give, and yours to take, if you’ll have me.” His vision is blurring, and so he lets his eyes fall shut, allowing the darkness to encompass him. He forces himself to believe that the lull of sleep is accepted of his own volition.

    His cheeks tingle. Rumi is holding onto his face. “No, no, no—” she grits out. Her voice is growing distant. “Stop. You can’t do this to me.” The words rush out of her in a frenzy, full of haste and distress. “Jinu.”

    “Rumi,” he responds in a broken murmur. “Thank you.”

    She was right. Gwi-Ma could be defeated.

    He should have listened to her.

    (Or: A fix-it/time-travel au where Jinu goes back to the very beginning of the story and sets things right.)

    Summary

    “Okay.” He whispers, quiet but meaning it when he says, “I want this. I want to deserve your trust. I want to stay.”

    Jinu feels it before he sees it. The change in the air, the way the Honmoon pulses beneath his feet. His eyes crack open just in time to see its strings wrap around him. Not constricting or planning to pull him down but— cradling. Like a safety net. It shimmers but it’s not just blue. It’s a multitude of colors— rainbow and iridescent. It’s brief, gone in seconds, but Jinu can still feel it. The safety of it, preventing him from falling or getting pulled down into the depths of the demon realm.

    His head is reeling. Both he and Rumi are panting in the aftermath. It’s for these reasons that Jinu allows himself some grace for how long it takes for him to once again notice the silence— the absence.

    Gwi-Ma is gone. The quiet has returned.

    (Or Rumi helps Jinu escape Gwi-Ma’s wrath a little more permanently after their duet, causing him to be freed from his control but also making things complicated. This also leads to Rumi willingly revealing her patterns and a team up between Huntrix and the Saja Boys. Turns out saving one soul can lead to saving a lot more.)

    Summary

    Jinu begins to turn slightly, taking a step forward as if to move past her, like that’s it. Like he’s going to walk out of her life forever and she’s just going to let him.

    He doesn’t get to take another step. What’s left of the Honmoon still responds to her, despite the shameful display of her patterns, and her sword materializes in her hand. Rumi takes it and, without another word, points it at Jinu.

    Everything around them goes completely silent, as if the universe now holds its breath. Rumi narrows her eyes at Jinu, watching his face, waiting for a reaction. For a second, she sees it: surprise, first. Then a flash of something else before it lands on the same dull look in his eyes as before. Although it almost seems… Heavier.

    At last, Jinu moves, but not in any of the ways she was expecting.

    Carefully, as if telegraphing his movements, Jinu tilts his head up and bares his throat.

    (Or furious that Jinu is acting like he doesn’t care and nothing they did means anything, Rumi draws her sword on him, looking for a reaction. This causes a domino effect that neither could ever predict.)
