Summary
Zoey Choi and Kang Mira, students of Marine Biology and Marine Archaeology, respectively, earn the opportunity of a lifetime as interns for an expedition to Jeju Island. They are entrenched in the island's unique cultures and traditions, and with luck, their studies will help to preserve them for future generations.
But a diving accident puts the girls face-to-face with a living, breathing fiction that shakes their realities: a mermaid. Soon, they come to learn that secrets persist around Jeju just as stubbornly as the islanders' traditions, and they have unwittingly been drawn into a fragile web of deception and mysticism that runs deeper than they ever could have imagined.
And in the middle of the hurricane of questions they have, seated directly in the eye, is a mermaid with jagged purple patterns.
Rating may be subject to change in the future. Tags will be added as the story progresses.

Summary
Rumi startled awake to a scream. It was a sound she’d never heard before, and one that chilled her to her very core.
“Mama?” she whimpered, rubbing her heavy eyes.
The scream came again, and Rumi flinched. In front of her Derpy had jumped to his feet, back arched, fur standing on end as he hissed and spat at something in the garden.
Rumi thought the scream sounded like Mama. Though she’d never heard her scream, she had heard Mama call her name a million times. And it sounded like she had screamed Rumi’s name.
Suddenly, Rumi found herself airborne. A sickly purple glow wrapped around her, and long clawed fingers circled her ribcage.
The distance grew between herself and Mama with those clawed hands dragging her away.
“Mi-yeong?! Rumi?!” The deeper voice of Eomma rang out in their small back garden.
“Celine! Get Rumi! They want Rumi!” Mama screeched. “They came for Rumi, and I can’t reach her!"

Summary
Rumi knew she’d been standing on the sidewalk staring at the doorway long enough for it to be creepy, but she couldn’t help it.
It wasn’t that the doorway in question was itself daunting or anything; it was just a typical glass door, for a business that sat tucked away on a side street on the outskirts of Seoul. It was even sitting on the sunny side of the street as the day gently rolled over from morning to noontime, making the small chalkboard ‘welcome’ sign hanging inside it gleam all the brighter.
No, the part that was giving Rumi pause was what laid beyond the door. And the potential it had to change...everything.
Was she ready? Really ready?
...No.
Not really.
But she was also sick and tired of not being ready, so whatever she was now would just have to do.
***
Rumi walks into a tattoo parlor in Seoul wanting to cover up the scars she gave to herself and reclaim a bit of her life.
She winds up getting a lot more than she bargained for when she meets the two attractive women who run the place and decided they want a piece of her life as well.- Language:

Summary
Mi-yeong vanished before Celine ever got to see the baby they were going to raise. All she knows is, years later, Celine felt Mi-yeong's death. She never found out why.
In the future, Celine has managed to find Mira and Zoey, but never their third hunter. Mira and Zoey eventually had to debut as a duo. After so long, the two of them had started to wonder if they were ever going to find their third.
Then one day, the Honmoon began to ripple in pain despite no tears, leading them to a man who claims his cult captured a demon. They did not expect, upon investigating said cult, that the kinda-demon they held was- somehow- their third hunter.
OR; the AU where Rumi was not raised by Celine. She grew up alone and confused in the foster system, not knowing what she was or why she could see things others couldn't, and all the troubles that come with it.

Rumi is just as fascinated by the new hunters. She watches them from afar, unable to interact. It isn’t safe. She isn’t safe.

Summary
Her wings are manifesting.
It’s the only thing that makes sense —and yet, it doesn’t.
Rumi’s nails dig into her own skin as another burst of pain rips through her back. Something warm trails down her sides — thick, heavy and unmistakably blood.
It doesn’t make sense, because Rumi has read how wings manifest.
It’s supposed to happen in soft, glowing light, surrounded by warmth, by peace, by joy.Not like this.
OR
In a world where everyone has wings, Rumi’s finally manifests—through blood and pain.
Celine tries to help but makes a terrible mistake, leaving Rumi to live with the consequences, too afraid to trust anyone ever again.
Enter Mira and Zoey, and Rumi’s entire world tilts. -

Summary
Letting someone into your head means letting them know you to your core, and then losing them means being alone in a way you never could have been before.
Ranger Ryu Rumi, former pilot of the legendary Mark IV jaeger Demon Song and a survivor of the Jaeger Program's golden age, before everything went wrong and the war turned against them, has paid that price. Once the pride of the Shatterdome, now she's scarred and alone, and the sheer weight of the loss has her resigned to that fate.
So failed cadets Mira and Zoey, humanity’s last hope, have no place in her lonely world. But with the Breach growing more active again, Rumi is forced to return to the Shatterdome to teach them how to love what she lost, and to hold on to each other harder than anyone outside of the Drift ever could.
But the Drift is a tricky thing, it calls to the heart and soul, so they start to want to hold on to her too, even as she tries to stay away. Because the Drift already ruined her once, and she doesn't have the strength to risk it happening again.

Summary
Zoey will not convince herself their brand new, fantastic house is haunted.
“Mira, really. I’m not seeing any mice” Zoey says, straightening and turning off her phone flashlight. “I’m sure it was just a squeaky floorboard-”
“Mreooow”
Zoey jumps with a scream but she doesn’t react as strongly as Mira who fully shoves herself into Zoey’s arms and nearly makes the younger girl collapse and drop to the hard wood. Zoey only staggers and swears, her legs shaking.
or. The housing market is a shit show. when you find a gothic mansion in your price range you buy it. no matter what.

Summary
(“This will sting,” Mira warned, tipping the brown bottle to a fresh pad.
The antiseptic hit, and Rumi’s body jolted upright from the fiery sting, a sharp hiss cut the space, as Rumi breathed in through gritted teeth.
“Ah…fuck..! ow…” Her head knocked the wall lightly. “Hot.”
“I know.” Mira braced her wrist gently. “It’s the worst part. You’re doing well.”)
There was an off-campus warehouse party. Glitter in the cups, bass like a heartbeat, everybody swaying in time; then the city woke up wrong.
“Please stand by,” said the TV, and then it never stood again.
Outside, something knocks back; three taps, long pause, then a fourth tap that asks a question. There is a listening stillness where breath should be.
This isn’t your average Zombie Story.
It’s three girls deciding how to keep each other soft without getting killed, how to be brave without being loud, and what to do when the world starts moving like a puppet on a string.

Summary
Celine had hoped that Rumi wouldn’t choose the Honmoon. She had hoped that the other hunters would be easy to find and easy to take in. She had hoped she could keep Rumi hidden.
Unfortunately for Celine, the Honmoon was out to bash those hopes into the ground
Or
How Celine is sent on a wild goose chase to find Zoey, while Mira nigh falls into her lap and almost immediately is a bad (good) influence on Rumi. All while Zoey is writing scarily accurate Sunlight Sisters fanfic on her school computer and confidently clicking post!
