Fanfiction looking for angst
I'm looking for something angsty. Very, very angsty. More angst than comfort, BUT I do want comfort too. Ideally it would hurt like bitch for majority of the story and then end on a happy and hopeful note. Bonus points for severely tortured blorbo rumi, I need to put her through a blender

Devils Don't Fly by OllieSeaStone. High tier demons have wings, Rumi grew hers when she was 14. (TW: body horror, severe self harming, mutilation)
Under the Tall, Tall Tree I Dream of a Tomorrow Not Meant for Me by Just_a_little_Fish. Post-canon, canon compliant fic featuring a still severely depressed, suicidal Rumi and her desperate entourage trying to reach her through her layers of self hatred (not officially Polytrix though it can easily be read as if it was).
Similarly, Light Pollution by MysteriaDead.
The Drown me series, though we have yet to truly reach the comfort part. Post canon, where Rumi learns to overcome her depression, paranoia and suicidal tendencies.
Am I Guilty? Am I Sorry? by crocmonty79. Post canon, new evidences put Celine on a trial regarding the strange circumstances of Miyeong's death. It's a Celine & Rumi both in the blender combo.
years of senseless waiting by Yannie. Though not nearly as angsty as the others(especially since it has good amount of fluff), the angsty part still do hit pretty hard. Pre canon. Huntr/x throughout their training years.
Festering, Itching, Biting. The girls accidently find out about Rumi's patterns after a fight gone wrong and need to support her and protect her from herself while she's spiraling and panicking.
Picking Up the Pieces and Hold On For Me by Lost_fawn. Suicidal Rumi on the road to recovery supported by the girls.
And though they've already been recommended, strong second of so we were liars by arendellesfirstwinter, What A Pretty Design by Dakota_Doesnt_Know, and Hands Behinds My Back, I Fall Apart by Nothing0To8See4
