Celine gasped into her seltzer and choked. Miyeong laughed, loud and delighted at Celineâs shock.
âBaby, you know your Appa. You have pictures of him on your wall, by your bed.â
Rumi blushed, five years old but all too aware that her mother was laughing at her expense. âYou said a baby could have two Appas or Eommas or-â
âYes, youâre right, some babies have two Appas.â Miyeong glanced at Celine, whoâd just gotten herself composed and found herself blushing under Miyeongâs playful stare.
âCanât I have two?â
âWhy do you think Cece is your Appa, baby?â
âAt school weâre reading a book and the Appa fixes everything around the house and, and, drops the baby off at school and tucks them into bed. And he cooks for the Eomma and makes the Eomma smile a lot. All the time. Thatâs what Appas do. And you always smile with Cece, Eomma. Always even when she isnât looking.â
It was Miyeongâs turn to blush, now, and Celine would have reveled in it had her stomach not been doing summersaults at being clocked so easily by the five year old she co-parented with her best friend.
âI. Yeah.â Miyeong sounded distracted. âGood point, baby.â
Celine opened her mouth but found she didnât know what to say. She cleared her throat.
âRumiâŚâ She started. âIâm just-â
âDo you want Celine to be your Appa, Rumi?â Miyeong asked, eyes boring into Celineâs now. Again, her stomach seemed to backflip.
âYeah.â
Celineâs eyes burned. Miyeong tilted her head, a subtle question. Celine nodded. Yes, of course yes â she loved this child as her own flesh and blood. Sheâd do anything and everything for her. Of course Rumi could call her her Appa, could call her anything.
âThen Celine can be your Appa.â Miyeong said softly. Celine took a shaky breath in. âCeline loves you very much. And sheâll always be here to take care of you. Right?â
âOf course.â Celine whispered.
âSo you can call Cece Appa if you want, or you can keep calling her Cece and know in your heart that sheâs your Appa and when you need her sheâll be right by your side.â
Rumi nodded with finality. âI knew it.â She said, very seriously. âI always thought you were my Appa too, Cece.â
Celine quickly wiped her eyes, lest Rumi see her Appa cry. âThank you, baby.â She whispered, striding around the dinner table to lift the kid into her arms and kiss her little cheeks a million times. Rumi giggled. When Celine glanced up, she found Miyeong watching them with such fondness in her eyes she felt weak once more.
Hi! Itâs me, LORELEI. Yes, Iâm still around and still very much stuck in the ELSANNA and KPDH fandom.
Sorry that this year I failed again to launch Volume 2 of my Elsanna in Hogwarts AU: EVANESCENCE comic. I got stuck while drawing Chapter 7 and couldnât continue from there. I realized that I hadnât planned the overall story well enough. I didnât want this to be just a porn-with-plot comic. I want the story itself to be engaging too.
Because of that, I asked a writer friend to help me develop the story, and I also have another friend helping with the shading. The storyline is now solid and ready to continue. Iâm aiming to finish it within three books, though Iâm not sure yet if I can scale it down exactly as planned. Still, we should be able to resume the project very soon.
Anyway, Iâve created a Discord server for dark fantasy Elsanna and RumiCeline ships, where fans can enjoy my Elsanna artworkâas well as works from some of my Elsanna artist friendsâin a safe space. Iâd also like to invite everyone who has ordered commissions from me since 2014, supported me on Patreon, Fanbox, or Ko-fi, or purchased my books and comics in PDF format to join the Discord for exclusive content. Youâll also be able to contact me directly there, and I can share my project progress updates as well.
Feel free to send me a message to get the Discord link.
Celine: âRumi, remember what you asked me to do on the night of the Idol Awards?â
Rumi: âY-yeahâŚ?â
Celine: âDO IT. TO ME. NOW.â
Rumi: âWHAT?!â
Zoey: âOkay so like where were you with this information like two decades ago?â
Thirdlight: âLook there are not very many books about the secret demon hunters that havenât been open about their actions in four hundred years, OKAY?!â
Mira: âWait are we just ignoring the fact that Celine got tackled by Rumi almost immediately after insinuating that Rumi wanted Celine to kill her?â
Thirdlight: âHonestly that was somewhat expected from someone raised solo by CelineâŚ.â
I'm going to wake up and choose violence. Angst ahead!
Alright, so imagine Mi-yeong's death being one of those vague things in the media. 'Found dead in her home', 'long illness' something obviously by a PR team and nothing official.
Mi-yeong is gone and she's left a baby that's being raised by a guardian, that's all the public gets to know for certain.
Mira, Zoey making the assumption it was hunter related and Rumi doesn't dissuade that idea, agrees noncommittally that demons caused her mother's death.
They go with that idea for years until one of them mentions it around Celine who's immediately on the defensive about it, actually visibly angry at the idea of a demon getting the best of Ryu Mi-yeong how dare they.
"She was ill. She was very ill."
Celine's angry response being so uncharacteristic it actually stuns the two, given her stance on keeping things hidden. A response with more information than she intended to give that leads to Mira doing far too much research on what the fuck 'PPP' and 'PPD' are, and Zoey being clingy to a mortified Rumi for a few days.
It doesn't fully hit why Rumi agreed demon's caused her mother's death until months/years later when they find out she's half-demon.

Fanart of 'Pull me to the ground' by SomethingLikeSawyer
Context to those who didn't read (GO READ IT!!!):
Zoemira pick up Rumi at a bar, and in a later chapter are comparing their checklists of preferences and kinks for future hookups.
Rumi as a character is pathologically ignorant to her own needs and is very confused by the concept of partners checking if she's okay after hours of making her beg and cry
The idea of Zoey working at McDonald's or something at 16 is still so funny to me, especially when compared to Rumi and Mira's childhoods.
At the same point in time, you have Mira doing fancy piano recitals to impress her parents' friends, Rumi having twice-daily combat training and frequent pop quizzes about the different demon types, and Zoey getting cussed out because someone in the back accidentally put nine chicken nuggets in some guy's ten piece. Fighting with the self-cleaning ice cream machine because like eight people want McFlurries and it's been inoperable all the day and everyone in the store is on the "they lie about the machine being down because they don't want to refill it" thing. Scribbling lyrics on napkins when its slow. Being the shortest one there and therefore the one who always has to crawl into and clean the play place. Sneaking fries and nuggets to get her through her shift.
I don't think she likes McDonald's anymore. The girls or Bobby would offer to take her there because "it's American food and you like burgers" and she's like "dear god please no". If someone talks to her while she's cooking or cleaning there's a 1% chance she slips into her customer service voice and says "I'll be right with you, thank you for your patience" and whichever one of her girlfriends just asked if she wanted any help is like "uh... what".
âHey, so, I,â Rumi says haltingly, âI never said thank you.â
âMm? For what?â Zoey puts down her notebook and straightens up from where sheâd been lounging on the bed.
Rumi looks kind of embarrassed. She rolls a lock of Zoeyâs hair between forefinger and thumb. This should be good. âOh, like. You know.â Rumi laughs ruefully. âDeciding to spare me. That day.â
Mira is still trying to connect the dotsâspare what? Which day?âwhen she sees Zoeyâs face fall. Itâs like looking at a rapidly progressing chemical reaction and trying to figure out what it is before itâs done. And then the momentum catches up with her, too, and her blissful ignorance goes splat.
âRumi,â Mira says in her most dangerous voice. âTell me you are not fucking talking about the fucking Idol Awards.â
Rumi doesnât look cowed. She looks petulant. âYou specifically said we could talk about it.â
âDidnât I also fucking say not to fucking apologize again?â
âIâm not apologizing! Iâm saying thank you!â Rumi says indignantly. âI mean it. I know not everybody would have. I think most people wouldnât. I think⌠it just feels very special to me, that you did.â
âSpecial?â Mira feels like she's been stabbed. âItâs special that we didnât fucking murder you where you stood?â
Rumi flinches, and Mira feels like the biggest fucking asshole, kicking puppies who donât even think they deserve to live.Â
But this kicked dog really, really dislikes losing arguments, and sheâs never seen a hill sheâs unwilling toâtoâbuild a home and live to old age on. âIt wouldnât have been murder,â Rumi says primly. ââExecutionâ would be more accurate.âÂ
Mira can feel the blood rushing to her head. âOh wow, should we pull out the fucking dictionary?â
âYouâd only have been doing your duty. It shouldâve been your first instinct, actually.â
âSorry, are you scolding me right now for not skewering you through the stomach like kkochi?â
âWell, given your extensive training, it wouldâve been reasonable to expectââ
âWill you shut up about the fucking training, youâre notââ
âMira,â Zoey murmurs, and her hand is wrapped loosely around Miraâs wrist; has been, Mira realizes with a guilty jolt, throughout most of this conversation.
Mira purses her mouth and looks away. She feels abruptly on the edge of tears. But Rumiâs still going.
âI am a demon. I am. There is exactly one category of person you are supposed to kill, and I am in it.â Her back is straight, her face clear. Itâs so incongruous, hearing her say these awful things, sitting on Zoeyâs bed, wearing her trains-and-teddy-bears PJs. âBut you didnât. So I just wanted you to know that I am grateful, thatâs all.â
Mira has nothing to say. If she opens her mouth right now, she will either scream or cry.
Zoey comes to her rescue, her knight in baggy sportswear. âRumi,â she says gently, âhave you ever considered that maybe you donât deserve to die just for looking kind of scary?â
Rumi grimaces. âItâs not just that, Zoey, you know that. My voice can hurt the Honmoon. I could be a danger to the safety of the whole world. I was.â
âNo you fucking werenât,â Mira snaps. âYou saved it. You made it better.âÂ
Zoey nods. âYou make things better, Rumi.â
But Rumi is shaking her head. âThere was no way to tell. When I was a babyââ
âGreat! Now we should be killing babies.â
âI didnât say that,â Rumi hedges. âBut I am grateful to Celine, too. Sheââ
âWill you stop being fucking grateful!â Miraâs heart is racing. Sheâs going to pick a fight. âYou think youâre only alive by the grace of our benevolence, is that it?â
Rumi meets her eyes, and says plainly, âYes.â
Mira barrels on. Itâs nothing she hadnât expected. âWanna repay your debts, then?â
Rumi visibly balks at that. Mira wants to strangle her. Wants to wrap her in the worldâs most careful hug. Wants to lay on top of her and tuck every limb around her and never let her get back up.Â
âGonna be costly,â Mira warns her.
Predictably, Rumi firms. The little shit cannot resist a challenge. She nods resolutely.
âGreat. Letâs start with this. Repeat after me: âI, Ryu Rumiâ,â Mira directs.
Rumi squints suspiciously, but dutifully repeats, âI, Ryu Rumi.â
ââAm not.ââ
âAm not,â Rumi parrots.
ââFucking expendable.ââ
Rumi stares at her, mouth hanging open. Of course she canât say it.
ââThe people who love me are not doing me a favor by not hurting me,ââ Mira continues pointedly.
Zoeyâs hand slides down to interlace with Miraâs. ââItâs reasonable for me to expect to be treated with the same care and consideration I consistently show others.ââ
ââCarrying the potential for danger, much like every other fucking person on the planet, doesnât make me a liability.ââ
ââPlus, Iâm really fucking hot,ââ says Zoey. Mira loves her so fucking much itâs insane.
She plays along. ââI am slowly expanding my wardrobe beyond three shirts and one sweater.ââ
ââI admit to sneakily eating the last kkwabaegi.ââ
ââI am not as good as Mira at Mario Kart.ââ
ââI have terrible taste in foreign movies.ââ
ââMy guitar collection is medium-sized.ââ Rumi gasps indignantly at that one.
ââI am a pleasure to have in the polycule,ââ is Zoeyâs next contribution, which prompts Mira to go for the jugular.
ââI am deeply, sincerely, passionately loved.ââ
Rumiâs perfect posture crumples. She lets out a noise somewhere between wounded seal and affectionate tiger. And then sheâs barreling into the two of them.
âSorry. Sorry,â she mumbles as she grabs at them, squeezing them firmly in the inescapable vise of her arms. She burrows her face in, rubbing her cheek over Zoeyâs hair, Miraâs cheek. âI love you too.â
Mira shifts her position so she can spread out her legs and wrap them loosely around both of her girls, penning them in. Zoey squeezes her hand and reaches out to stroke over Rumiâs face with a thumb, following the stripe bisecting her eyebrow. Rumi makes a shockingly endearing whuffling sound and nuzzles into her palm.
âStop being grateful for things you should take for granted, okay?â Zoey says, voice low.
âAnd if you donât know what youâre supposed to take for grantedâwhich I know you fucking donâtâask, and weâll tell you.â
âHereâs a freebie: number one is ânot being brutally dismembered by the corporeal manifestation of your loversâ soulsâ.â
Rumi lets out a soggy laugh. âOkay. Yeah.â
âYeah? Sure you donât need to repeat that one a few dozen times?â
Rumi huffs out another soft laugh, then takes a deep breath. She lifts her chin, and says, with her pitch perfect diction, âI am not expendable.â
âDamn straight,â says Zoey.
Mira sighs, lets her forehead drop onto Rumiâs firm, lovely, rounded shoulder. âOkay,â she breathes, affection and relief and sticky, lingering anxiety. âThatâs a good start.âÂ
