Rumi is backstage when she receives a call from an unknown number, and within the next hour, she’s on a plane to Jeju. (or: Celine hurts herself, and Rumi comes back home for the first time in almost a year to look after her.)

“Change can be difficult,” Nefer offers simply, but not dismissively. Lauma huffs, smiling in a way that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “I honestly find it more complicated than difficult.” She doesn’t regret it, of course. The Frostmoon Scions deserved to know the truth, and she can see that, despite the challenges, her people have proven themselves resilient, and malleable. Adaptable. Many have left, but many others have stayed too, and they’re building something new and something better now because of that difficult truth. She wouldn’t change anything, if she were given the chance to do things over. But it’s—complicated. More so, lately.

hi there! i just wanted to say that i really love your fics; i was introduced to you by your kpdh stuff but your writing drew me into other fandoms i wasnt a part of, especially your rahu/shalom and bronya/seele fics.

i noticed you published a victoria/iris fic from love curse a while ago but took it down. if you don't mind me asking, what happened? will you ever repost it?

thanks so much for sharing your writing. your fics have been a spot of joy in some pretty tough times.

hello!

re: the vic/iris fic - it was supposed to be a 2 parter but honestly right after i posted it i kinda just realized i couldn't be arsed to continue it lol. and i didn't wanna leave it up on my page, so yeah. don't know if i'll ever feel like reposting it since my (intense) interest in lcfys has since passed, but ig if i did, i'd just full-send on making it a one-shot instead.

i mean, you never know. like with the sharahu fic(s), i ended up revisitng them one day while i was cleaning out my gdrive and decided to repost them again. anything could happen, and whatnot

tysm, and i'm happy that my fics have provided comfort to you ❤️

sooooo do you have any celine kpdh fic recs? 👀

Hiiii! Not as many as i thought i would, and several are mostly focused on the girls and celine's relationship to them, but here's what i got, in no particular order:

No grave can hold my body down, by @idontknowmanijustlikereading

It's the first of a social media series where Celine has a hard drive full of old songs she's been writing and recording for over 20 years, and the girls convince her to release some. It's amazing. Goes from sad to funny to painful. Celine is an absolute troll and also in need of some therapy.

Regrets in my reflection by @xanthera

Mira and Zoey show up to yell at Celine. Mira does some yelling, but Zoey is watching and listening and realizes some painful similarities between herself and Celine.

To listen to your messages, press- by @jtl07

This fic is 521 words long and it will punch you in the face and leave you staring off into the distance.

I couldnt whisper when you needed it shouted by kai_the_first

The conversation under the tree they had That Night and how Celine had to live with it afterwards.

Grim Nostalgia by frohana

Listen, this wip is not technically a celine fic, it's definitely rumi-centric, but the latest chapters have celine and rumi talking things out and it has SUCH an interesting take on Celine and her past and her relationship with hunters as a concept.

Like a game of telephone by @secondtolastrow

More rumi focused than celine focused but really really good. Celine tries to call Rumi after That Night

Chipped porcelain by Rennajade

Character study of celine and her heart breaking

[jtl07]

oh wow thank you for the mention! if you don't mind, i'd like to share some other fics as well. starting with my favorite...

je te laisserai des mots by @frumious

this collection of one-shots are life-changing, seriously. each chapter is a one-shot frumious originally posted on tumblr and the way she writes Celine is just ... gosh, what i aspire to in many ways because of how she's able to capture Celine's love and how complicated her situation was. i can't express enough how much i love each one of these <3

these next ones feature Miyeong as well:

axis mundi by @makinami-ao3

or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.

yet another lifechanging fic that -- honestly i can't think about this fic without getting a bit emotional, it's that good. Rumi's the main character in this but the way makinami explores so many different themes in this fic, especially her relationships with Celine and Miyeong (and fate and duty and life and death...) as well as the idea of multiple dimensions/universes is so thoughtful and heartfelt. super recommend!

Letters to Miyeong by me and @kayr0ss

or: letters Celine (and others) writes to Miyeong

i'm biased but i highkey love this fic: kayross came to me with this idea and it was all vibes and heartbreak, how could i resist???? as with the voicemails fic, this one's a bit experimental, exploring Celine's pov in a letter format

(also, i've got another Celine fic as well: hold me, whatever lies beyond this morning, or: 5x Celine holds Rumi)

hello (and goodbye), ms. floral thief by wilhelmcowboy

or, Miyeong from another universe suddenly appears. Some stuff happens. Also, Celine is a mess.

oh man remembering the premise of this fic always makes me giggle bc as the description says: Celine is indeed a mess in this lol. but i mean, considering the situation, it's quite warranted! wilhelmcowboy does a fantastic job exploring how difficult and bittersweet having Miyeong - but not *their* Miyeong- would be for both Celine and Rumi.

wilhelmcowboy also has the series emotional lines got congested, different one-shots of the girls (especially Mira) and their relationship with Celine

speaking of Mira... here's a fic by @dumbbluetiger based off of @princington's baby bean au universe, though before the bean has been born, where Celine helps Mira with nausea

and speaking of Prince's baby bean au... Family Ties by @scooby-doo-creepymechclown does a lovely job incorporating all of the lore into one brilliant fic. (Celine also plays a role in a 5x fic by another fic by this same author, I Don't Need You To Hold My Hand)

and of course you can't have Celine without Rumi ...

perfect by @norsevvy features Celine's pov and the beginnings of a reconciliation with Rumi in the aftermath of the Idol Awards, along with the memories she carries of the family she no longer has.

whirls of purple and love within grays and grief. by @rynnaroo

two short but oh-so-impactful chapters of Celine with baby Rumi - it's amazing how much rynnaroo is able to pack into these short scenes, exploring how Celine is trying so hard, while carrying so much grief.

last but not least, shoutout to the joseon era au, The King's Secret by DaenerysTargaryen - while polytrix is the main here, the way Celine is written is fantastic, both in how her character is translated to this particular era and her relationship with Rumi. absolutely loving this one :D

i'm sorry to hear that you've hit a rough spot. i'm glad you're here and believe you can get through it! one day at a time 💜

ty, friend!

[makinami-ao3]

i just want to say thank you so much for re-uploading your Shalom/Rahu fics. they mean a lot to me

🫡❤️

[makinami-ao3]

idk if this is gonna make sense but i was listening to animenz's piano cover of "jane doe" and in his description he writes:

My favorite moment is in 2:01, where both voices finally meet. The right hand plays both vocal lines simultaneously so their melodies can melt together. It’s such a satisfying moment on the piano — and also bittersweet, because their voices overlap only here. That was their fate: a brief moment together before everything slipped apart.

and i immediately thought of axis mundi - and then started sobbing. just, uncontrollably. because that's also rumi and miyeong and that whole timeline - and just.

there's so much in that fic that still resonates and idk if you like piano or jpop but animenz's arrangement is beautiful and i just have that final battle at the tree and their goodbyes in my head as i loop this song for the umpteenth time and i just idk i had to tell you that it's a great fic and i think about it at the most unexpected times sometimes bc it's made a home in my heart. okay i'll stop now, i hope you are well, thank you for everything you do!

❤️ thank you for sharing this! i'll be giving it a listen. and thank you for this message - i'm really happy and touched that axis mundi resonated with you as deeply as it did. that it made a home in your heart, is one of the nicest and loveliest things anyone has said about anything i've written.

so, thank you again!

[makinami-ao3]

Hellooooo! I just had to come into your inbox and scream about your work. Axis Mundi made me cry, and tryptch set my heart (and uh, other parts) on fire. Also that playlist is fire.

How would you feel if people wrote fics that were inspired by your work?

i'm 100% okay with it, as long as there's a link back to my fic/s and proper credit and all that 🫡
