So I've had this thought for a while now. Just imagine an edit to the song 'Creep' by Radiohead of the events of the Idol Awards. The whole song works for the movie like:
"When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye." That's Celine referring to Rumi
"I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul." This is Rumi talking about her patterns
But the part I'm envisioning the most goes like this:
"She's running out the door." And it's the scene backstage when Zoey and Mira see the patterns for the first time, specifically when the camera pans out and Zoey and Mira take a step away from Rumi
"She's running out." and it's the girls backing away
"She run," and it's Mira raising her weapon "run," and it's Zoey raising hers "run," and It's Rumi pushing Jinu away "run" and it's Rumi after Jinu leaves, "Run" and It's Rumi walking and destroying the Honmoon behind her
"Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special." This is Rumi walking towards Celine and in-between verses moments with her girls are flashing by as though in her minds eye
"But I'm a creep" and the voices overlap, it's the demon version of her girls saying "mistake"
"I'm a weirdo demon" voices overlap again
"What the hell am I doing here?" And it's Rumi getting closer to Celine and kneeling on the ground
"I don't belong here." Rumi lifts her sword, and in the tiny pause before the next line in the song, it's Rumi with the demon voice saying "Do it."
Last "I don't belong here" makes it seem as though Rumi is saying the words
Do you see it? See the vision?
Good, because I don't know how to edit and I desperately need this to exist, it's been on my mind for MONTHS now
i just imagined one of those fan edits that people make, but surrounding polytrix and their kids
it starts off with a video that (at the time of making the edit) is consider ancient by most people. on a red carpet interview, mira is asked “how is that the members of huntrix manage look so good?” on “look” and “so” it cuts away to footage of rumi and zoey respectfully from the same red carpet event, before cutting back to mira on “good”. a lot of mira’s answer to the question (which involves discussion of the many privileges that the three of them have access to that allows them to look a certain way) is cut out, with the only part of her answer that is kept in is her saying, “…certainly good genetics play a part…”
the bass of the song that’s playing drops and then it cuts to much more modern (at the time of making the edit) footage of polytrix’s five children (all now grown adults) walking various red carpet events and looking absolutely gorgeous, as though to emphasize the power of rumi, mira, and zoey’s genetics
Ever since they’d brought up the concept of children, Rumi had dreamt of weaving.
It was always the same dream. Her and her girls, beneath the Seonangdang, dressed in hanboks, the Honmoon dancing around them as they sung lullabies in three part harmony, threading through her fingers as they fed it into a loom, weaving...something.
What was weirder is that all three of them kept sharing the same dream.
"Maybe we're performing maintenance in our sleep?" Zoey had suggested, "That's what dreams are anyways, loading screens while our brains sort out the day's events,"
"But that's before you add magic into the equation," Mira countered, "Did Celine have anything to say?"
Rumi shook her head, "There are a lot on dreams in the records, even shared ones, but nothing of substance. The shared ones were just a byproduct of the Honmoon connection,"
"But why did we only start dreaming together now?"
Rumi shrugged, helpless.
"Maybe we're overthinking things," Mira sighed, pressing kisses to their foreheads, "This is all Honmoon nonsense and we need to wait for it to make sense,"
---
So the dreams continued, on and off through months, throughout appearances on variety shows where Mira was a standout with children, throughout trips to California where they'd spend time with Zoey's niece and nephew, days spent with children, nights weaving together the Honmoon, mornings spent with songs on her lips and a deep, deep want in her heart.
Then, one night, they finished, and Rumi snapped awake to the fading glow of the Honmoon.
Mira and Zoey roused beside her, looking about as flabbergasted as she felt.
"What-,"
A whine suddenly cut through the room.
An infant's cry.
The three of them scrambled to the edge of the bed, and looked down.
A baby looked up them, swaddled in a patterned cloth the shimmered like the Honmoon.
"WHAT THE-,"
The baby whined, cutting off Zoey's words, and Mira swooped down, collecting the baby into her arms.
"Rumi, Rumi she has patterns,"
She pulled aside the blanket, pointing out dark markings criss-crossing her arm and cheek, like patterns, but softer, rounder, like strings of the Honmoon.
"The dreams," Rumi whispered, "Weaving, oh fuck,"
Zoey let out an insane little giggle, "Oh my god our yearning created a child. Are, are we moms now?"
The words settled over the three of them like a blanket, Mira rocking the child, humming a now familiar lullaby.
"Yes," Rumi declared with an insistence that surprised even her, "Yes, we can be her moms. Wait, it's a girl, right?"
"Yep."
"Okay, okay we can be her moms, but I think we should call Celine first,"
I’ve seen a lot of fics and works where Rumi just has an uncontrollable urge to bite Mira and Zoey, so I raise you:
Mira and Zoey find out because Rumi just bites them.
Like, the girls are on the couch hanging out, and Zoey shifts ever so closer into Rumi, accidentally exposing her collarbone. And Rumi just goes “ah yes, nomch.” and fully latches onto her skin biting her, a little hard.
And now Zoey’s being bitten, Mira has no Idea what’s going on, and Rumi’s demonic traits are kind of showing as she just mindlessly noms on her friend.
Would you accept snuggling in bed rather than couch with a sleepy Rumi?
Zoey's favorite place would always be snuggled between both her girls. Now that they knew about Rumi's patterns, they were making up for lost time and giving Rumi all the cuddles.
She hugged the half demon sleeping mostly on top of her. They didn't need to get up yet, and it was great to finally know that Rumi was actually sleeping and getting rest. Zoey would let Rumi cuddle her any which way to ensure their leader was well rested.
She couldn't resist running her fingers along Rumi's back, feeling the soft nightgown she had borrowed from Mira.
Zoey laughed to herself. Borrowed wasn't exactly the right word since Mira had insisted both herself and Rumi just "grab one and get over here" rather than go get their own pajamas to change into for bed. The nightie was huge on her but Zoey hardly cared- it was still comfortable.
Mira had so just wanted to see them wearing her things.
"what're you giggling 'bout" was mumbled groggily from Zoey's other side. She turned her head to give Mira a peck on her forehead.
"This," Zoey giggled as she adjusted the collar of the night gown, easily slipping off her shoulders as she slept.
Mira just squinted at her and huffed, "... 's cute."
Rumi began to shift on top of her, probably waking up. She scooted herself a bit higher and- Zoey muffled a yelp then grinned.
"Okay Ruru~" Zoey hadn't exactly been subtle about how she wanted her girlfriend to use those fangs, and Rumi had never been this forward before.
Mira scrambled to grab her glasses off the nightstand, staring at how Rumi had just bitten Zoey's exposed collarbone. There's no way Rumi was initiating anything like Zoey seemed to think.
Rumi released her bite, blood trickling slowly from the punctures, moving slightly to bite down again, this time not quite as hard, chewing on Zoey.
"... Are we sure she's awake?" Mira questioned.
A soft purring began to fill the room, and the two girls squealed, one turning into a partial scream as Rumi drew blood again.
Mira watched, debating if they would be fine while she got her coffee, "ugh, okay we should probably stop her?"
Zoey pouted at her, "but don't you hear how happy she is!? She can bite me if she wants Mira."
They both heard some fabric tearing, and Zoey shivered from head to toe. Rumi had sharp claws out and was making muffins, accidentally ripping into the gown and scratching Zoey lightly as she continued biting at her.
Mira sighed, "Rumi hey time to get up princess," she put her hand on Rumi's shoulder and shook her. Their girlfriend pulled back slightly, one gold eye and one brown meeting Mira's with a slightly confused stare.
"oof Zoey she's kinda out of it right now.... Can you handle her while I drink my coffee?"
"I got this MiMi, can we have breakfast in bed!? Please please plea-ACK" Rumi returned to what she had been doing with another bite.
"yeah fine whatever, I'm going to have to change my sheets anyway clearly," Zoey laughed loudly and Mira flipped her off playfully as she left the room.
Zoey pet Rumi's head, enjoying this until her leader came back to her senses and preparing for the freak out that would come with.
Traditional Magical Girl Au in which the public knows about Demons, they cause mass damage and panic often.
What they also know about is the trio of legendary Hunters, who hunt down these demons and protect people en mass with magical weaponry and the Honmoon. They don’t know who the hunters are though.
Anyways just imagine Huntrix having magical girl transformations (think Pre-Cure if you know what that is) into the concept art of them wearing Hanbok’s during the final battle because that art was just hdjlfhdkslfhkf, but they do that to fight every demon.
By day they’re the famous kpop band Huntr/x, taking the world by storm. By night they’re the famous demon hunters, also kind of taking the world by storm.
Then imagine with me the Idol awards, done infront of an audience who knows what demons are and are scared of them. An entire audience who knows that demons should be hunted down.
Only for Ryu Rumi, a beloved Idol, to be revealed to be a Demon. Of course people would give up hope, because if she’s a demon what horrible things has she gotten away with? Who else are demons? Is she going to attack the audience?
Then imagine Namsan tower, where the audience learns that not only is Rumi a demon, she is also a hunter???? And so is the rest of Huntrix???? AND THEY JUST KILLED A DEMON LORD????
I imagine the world would shut down for a hot minute there. Except for PR, they were working overtime.
Mira is a department head in Saja industries, who’s been working there for a few years now. She actually joined the company pretty early on, only a year after they appeared. It was a gamble, one she had no choice but to take, but it worked wonderfully for her. It makes sense she became a head after only a few years, she’s darn good at her job, and tries not to be biased towards any one employee.
Well, she used to try.
But with Zoey and Rumi, it’s hard to keep that up.
Zoey’s a fairly new hire. She’s been here for a few months and every interaction with her teaches Mira that everything good can, in fact, be shoved into a tiny body. Mira first met Zoey in a classic meet cute, in which Zoey accidentally ran into her and dropped her papers and Mira has been in love with the loser ever since. Zoey even brings her coffee daily.
Rumi’s been here a bit longer, and she works directly under Mira. Mira didn’t really get to know her until recently though, when she found Rumi in her office looking for her. Ever since, Rumi always got so flustered talking to her, and always seemed to look for ways to spend time with Mira.
They both were so cute, trying their best to always be around her. And given how easily they both flustered, Mira figured they were hiding something from her.
And she thinks she knows what it is.
Hopefully, Zoey and Rumi have caught on to the fact that she reciprocates.

Uncover Cop Zoey Au:
At the age of 18, Zoey had given up. Wandering the streets of Korea, a country sharing her blood but none of her time. Some guy came up to her, wanting to figure out if she was okay, safe.
She punched him in the nose. Hard. He went flying.
He was also the head of police, and decided that she absolutely should get a job with that type of punch.
So now here she is, 4 years later with more education and experience under her belt, doing her first mission as an undercover cop: Saja Industries. Their rise to power was fast and seemingly unreasonable, becoming one of the biggest companies in Korea in a matter of five years, despite all signs saying they should have gone bankrupt by now. Not to mention the rise in missing cases around the time they appeared.
Her Mission: Find out what they’ve done for their power, and what they’ll do next. Then, report on whether she thinks there’s something truly shady going on or pure luck.
Honestly it was quite easy for her to get close to the higher ups. One “accidental” bump with Kang Mira, and she got her in. Using the fact that Mira gets her coffee the same way at the same time every day, Zoey could get up and close to her, while earning her favor.
And Mira is hiding something from her, all her actions are done with intent.
It doesn’t help that Zoey’s boss, Ryu Rumi, seems to be quite interested in Zoey as well. Rumi keeps stopping by to say hi to her, constantly approaching her with no real reason. Zoey doesn’t believe it’s just regular check ups, especially since it happens much more to her than any other co-worker. She stays so long too, makes it a little hard to do her job.
Then again, Rumi might also be a good source of information. Or she might be the one collecting info. Rumi works directly under Mira, so it wouldn’t be far fetched to assumed she’s keeping an eye on Zoey, trying to see if perhaps she might be a threat? Or maybe… maybe they want to bring her into the truth of Saja Industries?
Either way, They were hiding something from her.
And she thinks she knows what it is.
Now only if they could stop flustering her, it’d make her job so much easier.

Monster Hunter Rumi Au:
Rumi isn’t Human. Blame her mom, she slept with a demon while avoiding actually communicating her feelings with Rumi’s Eomma and Rumi’s Mama. It took until she was six, and her locking them into a closet, for them to finally talk things out like grown ups.
Given they’re trained monster hunters, you would think a six year old wouldn’t be able to do that to them, but they were kind of complete messes. Rumi had to get it from somewhere.
Now she follows her Moms’ examples. Kind of. Rumi finds anything dangerous- groups, entities, people, places, etc.- and tries her best to deal with them however she can to protect the unknowing humans, who live their lives not knowing about the magic around them.
She really isn’t a hunter like her mothers used to be, back when they believed everything was black and white, but she’s trying to do some good.
When Saja Industries appeared, and the amount of friendly supernatural entities living as humans dropped, she figured something was going wrong.
So, she tried her best to get a job and finally got one after two years. And things are starting to line up.
Kang Mira has to be hiding something. That woman can’t be human, no human can look that majestic, and the sway she has over Rumi has to be some sort of psychic abilities or something (Vampire? Perhaps Siren?). She’d been at Saja industries long enough to be in the know, not to mention how much influence she has over the employees. When she enters a room, she controls it with every step and every breath. Everyone fears her.
Everyone except a new hire, Choi Zoey. She’s clearly not human, given how easily she flusters like she’s trying to hide something. But she’s also competent and clever enough to hide exactly what she is. And she knows what she’s doing.
After all, no one else willing hunts down Mira like she does. It has to be intentional. But whether it’s truly willing or forced by higher forces, Rumi doesn’t know.
It would be a shame if Zoey was evil, she’s such a good conversationalist. But maybe, it’d be worse if Zoey was in danger. She doesn’t want Zoey to become just another missing person.
To make matters worse, they seem to be onto her. At least Mira is. It doesn’t help that Mira found her snooping in her office that one time.
Rumi is certain they are hiding something from her.
And she thinks she knows what it is.
She only can hope that they aren’t behind the truth of Saja Industries. Nor does she want them to be victims in the end.

The Office/Undercover Cop/Monster Hunter AU, aka the Triple Au AU:
Three People. Three Secrets. Three Views.
Only one world though, and we all live in it. Hopefully, they’ll achieve their goals, and see tomorrow.
Maybe, if they figure out how to talk, they’ll do it together.
Okay but consider: Rumi is the monster, who’s just looking for her friends. She doesn’t really know what happened, one day she was living life as normal, and now she’s very lost and confused. Her body feels weird, it’s very dark and very loud, and she just wants her girls.
Of course Mira doesn’t know that. All Mira knows is one day those creatures appeared, and everything went wrong. Mira just wants Rumi and Zoey, but she just can’t find them…
Rumi went out when the monsters appeared and Mira isn’t going to give herself false hope. Not about Rumi, not about Zoey. Mira will survive though.
She really doesn’t want to leave derpy alone. She knows what that’s like. And anyways, Mira likes to think that’s what They would have wanted.
AU in which Huntrix is only 2 people (Zoey and Mira), and they lose to Gwi-ma, so they make a deal with a very powerful demon to help them win and hopefully save humanity at the cost of their souls.
The problem is that this “very powerful demon” is actually just Rumi who really wants a friend. She just wants to be loved. She has no idea how to go about this though, so stealing the souls of two very pretty women and helping them defeat the demon king is probably fine, right? And now she has 2 friends! Double the original goal!
Mira spent most of her life locked inside a pretty cage. Her parents were rich, but they wanted to get richer, so they made a deal with Gwi ma.
Except, they were cowards, and instead of selling their own souls to the demon king, they sold their toddler's, and Mira was turned a gumiho.
She would strictly stay in her fox form during the entire time she was kept in the cage. It felt safer to be small enough to dodge some of the strikes directed at her, and she could cuddle her tails when she felt scared and lonely.
She was kept alone most of the time, the exceptions being when her father had a particularly bad day and needed something to directed his anger to, or when her parents would bring in someone who was particularly threatening to them and make Mira consume their soul. If she got too noisy, they would throw a thick blanket over the cage to silence her cries.
One day, Celine attends an event at the mansion, with Rumi accompanying her. Celine said important people were attending, and it was important for them so show up, but the situation felt too overwhelming for Rumi.
She disappears into the halls of the mansion, and feels herself being pulled toward one particular room.
She enters the room to find an adorned silver cage, and inside, what looks like a normal fox — except for the pink fur and nine tails.
She realizes it's a demon and feels sick to her stomach. Yes, hunters hunt and kill demons, but they don't keep them locked up in tiny cages. Celine has always said Rumi isn't a demon, but she can't help but think about what it would be like if someone kept her locked up like that.
Rumi doesn't know what comes over her, but she approaches the cage slowly, and the gumiho notices her presence and starts growling. Rumi kneels down in front of the cage and whispers reassurances to the demon. She can't explain why, but she knows she has to get it out of there.
"It's- it's okay, I..." She tries to think of a way to calm the gumiho down. "Look," she rolls up her sleeve to reveal her own patterns and the gumiho tilts her head.
She manages to break the cage's lock with her sword and gently coaxes the fox out, then she holds on to it, and suddenly she's in the hanok's living room, with the gumiho in her arms.
Celine arrives hours later to find Rumi on the couch with the demon and instinctively summons her ssang-geum, but Rumi protects the gumiho and explains what happened.
When Celine tries to make her get away from it, Rumi's voice ripples the Honmoon and she changes into a demonic form. Celine instinctively points her swords at her for a fraction of a second before realizing what she's doing and dropping them, but Rumi teleports away with the gumiho before either of them can say anything.
Rumi locks herself in her room with the gumiho for several days straight. Celine is unable to coax her out so all she can do is to leave meals at her door to make sure she at least won't starve. She secretly wonders if Gwi ma has finally gotten to her and that he's in her head, telling her to join his side.
She knows that if she ever has to chose between being a hunter and being a mother, the world will be consumed by Gwi ma's flames.
Rumi had secretly been teleporting to the most remote places of the village, taking Mira with her. It's the coldest time of the year, so they spend some time playing in the snow in the middle of the woods. Rumi watches the gumiho diving head first into the snow piles with great amusement.
She feels some sort of inexplicable connection to the demon, like they're souls are somehow linked — and like both of their souls are linked to something else.
After one specially cold day, Rumi prepares a bath in the bathroom attached to her room to warm herself up, and the fox demon joins in without a warning.
Rumi laughs and washes the demon's fur, and afterwards, helps it dry itself.
As Rumi brushes the soft pink fur, the demon's appearance starts to change, and a moment after, there's a girl about her age sitting on her bed in front of her, with fox years and nine tails and the body covered in fur.
And patterns. Just like hers.
Rumi stares wildly for a moment before smiling and gently running her brush through the girl's hair.
Once she's done, she picks an oversized pajama shirt from her closet and helps the girl get dressed, and they sleep snuggled to each other in Rumi's bed afterwards.
The gumiho reveals her name is Mira while struggling through speech, like she's not used to talking often. She assumes her hybrid form when she's with Rumi, but shifts back to her fox form whenever Celine is around.
Celine and Rumi finally talk about it. Celine realizes that what Rumi is describing is, without a doubt, the hunters' bond, which would mean Mira is the second hunter.
Celine decides to trust Rumi and the higher forces, and allows the demon to stay (and to live) as long as it doesn't hurt anyone and as long as Rumi keeps an eye on it.
At one evening, Celine gets home to find Rumi asleep on the couch and the demon nowhere to be found.
She goes out to look for it in the woods surrounding the property, and finds it fairly quickly, tangled in a net left by some hunter probably looking to hunt actual foxes.
Celine summons her ssang-geum to cut the net, and accidentally scratches the demon's leg in the process.
She knows the hunters' blades are very painful for demons, so she picks the fox up despite its protests to take back to the hanok.
The gumiho eventually settles down and Celine lays it on the infirmary's bed to take a look at the injury.
After making sure it was nothing serious, she starts singing, knowing it would help with the pain, and the demon starts to look tired.
As it falls asleep, its forms shifts to a girl. A child.
Celine doesn't know how to feel about the revelation — she's never seen a young demon before, and this one looks like she's not older than Rumi.
Later on that day, Rumi finds Celine with her clothes covered in pink fur.
Zoey had a mostly normal childhood and her home life was pretty good, but she was extremely lonely and bullied at school.
Gwi ma took advantage of that to get inside her head, and at 12 years old, she made a deal with him to be liked and have friends.
Then, everything started changing. She became fairly popular at school, everyone wanted to be friends with her. She seemed happy.
Until the patterns started spreading and Gwi ma's voice became louder and louder. Her parents and teachers would catch her talking to herself multiple times a day, and she wouldn't tell them who she was talking to.
That's when she ran away from home.
Her parents informed the police and soon there were several search parties looking for her, unsuccessfully.
She hid away in the local woods, and became somewhat of a local cryptid. She'd never let anyone see her, but occasionally they'd hear a disembodied voice coming from the trees, or have things disappearing from their backpacks and picnic baskets, and whenever children got lost in the woods, they'd come back saying they were playing with another child until they were found by their parents.

Hai :3 Imagine tiny Rumi, seeing her patterns spread for the first time, coming up to Celine while sobbing, holding her saingeom she had just learned how to summon and holding it up to Celine while telling her that she has to kill her now because she's "turning bad".
When Mira and Zoey arrive, Celine secretly puts them through a bunch of tests before introducing them to Rumi.
She's like "Now, I did told you that all demons are dangerous, and that is true, however, I have successfully tamed one," then she takes them to her room where Rumi is waiting politely sitting on her bed. "This is Rumi. She's my pet demon. Don't worry, she's friendly. She's not to be hurt under any circumstances."
Mira and Zoey are just like "What the heck??? That's a whole teenager."
But Zoey being Zoey is seeing a demon for the first time and can't help but ask if she can pet Rumi. Celine's like "Yes, but let her smell you first."
Mira is just "WTHWTHWTH-"
Interactions for the next couple weeks are pretty much like:
"Why does she have a crate???" "She needs a place to go when she gets scared."
"Why does she have a collar???" "How else are people supposed to contact me if she gets lost?"
"Is that a freaking muzzle???" "It's for medical appointments. Anyway, I need to grab her leash, it's time for her daily walk." "Walk :D"
Basically, they think Celine is crazy and that Rumi has been brainwashed.
Another au where Celine raises Rumi like a dog but with a twist.
Celine is a good dog mom.
So in this au Rumi gets raised by her dad in the demon realm and Celine never knew Miyeong was pregnant, but at some point something happens with Rumi's dad and Rumi is just left to fend for herself as a little kid.
At some point when Rumi is about 4 years old or so, Celine finds this kid demon and doesn't have the courage to kill it, so she just takes it home to "keep an eye on it", but she's not a monster! Obviously she's not gonna just keep a child in a tiny cage or something, and for Rumi it just feels like she's being babysat by a weird lady.
Celine is very lonely so she decided to keep Rumi as a pet because she didn't know Rumi was half human and she always thought demons were more similar to animals than to people, especially taking into account Rumi's animalistic tendencies.
Except she's one of those pet moms that spoil the hell out of their pets.
She's like "No demons on the couch!" until Rumi gives her the puppy eyes and she gives in. Rumi has a dog bed but she sleeps in Celine's bed everyday. Celine plays with her everyday and gives her toys because "she needs enrichment" and also probably more treats than she should have.
For Rumi that's just her mama. She loves her mama. She's nice and plays with her and gives her snacks.
More to this au: the whole village in Jeju knows about Celine and her strange daughter pet, they're okay with it because they know Rumi is a demon (basing this on my own theory that the people in the village know about the hunters and demons because they live in sacred grounds) and because Rumi is happy and healthy and she's kinda like that one mutt everyone in the street loves and feeds (except whatever they want to give her has to go through Celine first so she can make sure it's not toxic — "can you believe someone tried to give her chocolate once??? CHOCOLATE!!!").
Whenever Celine would take Rumi with her to the village she would run away and Celine would have to chase after her, and on the next time they're there one of the aunties gives Celine one of those child leashes with a little tiger backpack.
Also Rumi would play with the village kids whenever the were not at school, and they all just thought she was a weird girl but she's fun and they like her. She does occasionally bite the kids, which has been the cause for arguments between Celine and other moms a couple times, but oh well, Rumi is a little baby angel puppy girl so they forgive her.
Rumi never thought her childhood was weird until Mira and Zoey came along and started trying to treat her like a normal person.
