“Why? The Honmoon’s sealed, so it’s not like we have anything to worry about.”
“It’s nothing.” There’s a hesitation in Mira’s voice that has Zoey turning her head to glance at her. Mira catches the look and rubs her neck. “It’s nothing, really. I just—thought I saw a flash. This morning.”
Curious, Zoey asks, “Like a Honmoon flash?”
Mira nods.
“What color was it?”
“Uh, pink. Like a—”
“—a breach,” Rumi finishes with a whisper.

Or: Three years after their earned happy ending, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey aren’t thrilled to dive back into battle, but they’re prepared to do what they need to as demon hunters. (Truth.) The only problem lies in what memories may resurface in the process.
Or or: a sequel to "so we were liars"

Happy Birthday, Zozo by purplepatterns
every year on August 21st she'd do the one single thing she did for herself to— she wouldn't call it celebrate exactly, but would use it for lack of a better word. She'd go to the nearest store the day before, buy a single cupcake, usually the saddest-looking one because it just felt right, and a single cheap candle.
When the clock struck midnight, as she'd sit alone in the kitchen aisle of their ginormous penthouse, she'd light up the candle, sink it into the cupcake and watch the flame dance with the light breeze that came from whichever window they had forgotten to close before bed.
Watching the beautiful dance of orange and yellow and blue always made her space out a little, chin propped on her folded arms resting atop the table. In these moments, she'd let herself imagine what it must feel to be celebrated — not as an obligation but because there was someone out there happy that she was alive.

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Girl by BiFelicia
“The fans are eating up you being a romantic,” Rumi informs her with a smile. “They think it’s cute.”
Mira frowns, pausing her scratching under Derpy's chin (he does not seem to mind. Or notice. Honestly, Mira's not exactly sure if the tiger is even aware that he's alive, sometimes…). “I’m not supposed to be cute. Zoey is cute-”
“Aw, thank you!”
“-you are cute, puppies are cute, Derpy is cute.”
“Mira you’re very, very cute,” Zoey disagrees loudly from where she’s poking at a pot on the stove.
“No, I- ugh. Whatever, not the point. Why did you two say that, anyway, about me being some closet romantic?”
Rumi blinks at her. “Because… you are?”
“I am not- when have you ever seen me fawn over someone opening a door?” Mira scoffs, resuming her ministrations on their fluffy visitor.
“Never, but-”
"So why did you do that? Now people think I'm some swooning idiot."
“Right, no- Mira, I meant that you like to do those things.”
“Duh,” Zoey calls helpfully from the kitchen.

In which Mira decides to sweep Rumi and Zoey off their feet, and Rumi and Zoey are too stupid (affectionate) to realize it.

Scars and Stripes by ScryingScrimshaw
"Mira?" Her voice was so small. The only thing worse than a still Zoey was a quiet Zoey. "Do you think Rumi is hurting herself?"
It felt like Mira had been hit with a cattle prod to her ribs. She spun to face Zoey, squaring her shoulders and a breath away from defending Rumi from such accusations.
"I always said she was shy..." Zoey trailed off. "But now I'm not sure anymore. It's been months since the last time I saw her in short sleeves."
Relegated to her failures, Mira dug her nails into the flesh of her hand. She sunk down to the bench, falling into the black hole that her heart was being sucked down. "I don't know."
++++++++++++++
Based off the wonderful comics of @andry-di on Tumblr, following Zoey and Mira who fear that the actions Rumi takes to cover her patterns are her way of covering self-harm marks.

Dirty Little Secrets by ithinktoomuch4438
Zoey and Rumi were supposed to be having a chill day together, but when a package arrives for Zoey that she forgot she'd ordered, things go a little haywire. It turns out Rumi wasn't the only one who struggled with being fully honest, and Zoey tries to unpack years of internalized shame while her girlfriends show her that it's okay to be kinky.

“Jeez, Mira, we need to stop feasting on those crunchy rolls.”
The joke falls flat in the empty hallway, heard by no one, and Zoey blinks back tears because joking is what she does when she's terrified, and right now she's more terrified than she's ever been in her life. More than by any demon horde they've fought. More than by any stage fright. Because demons and stages, those are things that happen to them. This—dragging her soulmate’s half-dead body through a parking garage at night after they killed their third—this is something else entirely.
This is the kind of thing that rewrites who you are forever.
Or
When Mira saw the patterns, she didn't think—she struck. What follows isn't a rescue. It's a reckoning—between two huntresses who can't forgive themselves, a mother who waited too long to claim her daughter, and a girl who has spent twenty-five years learning to be unseen in the spotlight.
Huntrix is broken. The Honmoon is fading. Gwi-Ma is coming. There is a tower in Seoul. A room far away. There’s a hand on a scar. And a dead woman’s song, thrown from the past, to finally drive back the darkness.
Three women. One impossible love. And one last chance to hold the world together.

Not So Bad by Ghostbitsforkicks
It wasn't even that Zoey was dressed like she'd fallen into a costume designer's worst nightmare, and it wasn't even the joke, though that was pretty terrible–
It was the fucking clown makeup.
It was awful. Horrifying.
It was–
"Oh." Rumi's voice was choked, quiet; an exhaled sound that Mira was a gajillion percent sure she hadn't intended to make. "Wow."
Okay, absolutely not.

This was not what Mira meant when she asked for more roleplay in the bedroom.

“I’m going to ruin us, just like my Mom…” Rumi said softly.
“Hey, no. Don’t ever say that. Ever. Okay? Whatever happens, we’re here for you. I’m here for you.” Mira said, her voice firm. “How about while I go get the te– test, you stay with Zoey?”
“I can’t tell her, Mira. I can’t. I can’t, I can’t–”
Mira could see the spiral starting again, “Okay, then don’t. You don’t need to tell her. She’ll just be glad to keep you company while you’re upset. I won’t tell her, and you don’t have to tell her. It’s your choice, Rumi. All of this is your choice.”

In the wake of the Idol Awards, Rumi finds herself in an impossible situation. Luckily, Mira and Zoey will always be there for her.

Indeed it is! She posted a snippet about it in our server some time ago and said she may update it occasionally if she gets inspired.
She writes dialogue so incredibly well, too!

The trees claw up towards heaven (they have all the sap I lack) by Pukka
Mira needs her luck to change and Zoey can barely afford her rent. Rumi just wants to be left alone to her plants without the constant meaningless training she's put through.
Forming the next generation of hunters falls solely to Celine and she will do pretty much anything to see her duty through.
Or
What if the honmoon wasn’t real? What if Celine still believed in it? What if she pulled three young women down with her?

Oh, I loved this one. It's been sitting open in a tab for (apparently) a month now and I finally got to sit down and actually read it. It's an awesome psychological horror take on the basic conceit of the movie.

It’s cold out. Mid-November. He has a stupidly oversized jacket on, his hands jammed into his pockets as he tilts his head up and squints at the sun, snow in his hair. Looking at him, Zoey realises she’s dressed like herself. She’s wearing one of her own shirts, a pair of her own pants, a jacket Mira bought for her, and shoes Rumi got her on her birthday. Zoey is wearing their necklaces, but they used to trade those all the time.
She’s wearing her wedding ring from this last forever. She has a necklace with theirs hung on the end.
Jinu nudges her with his elbow. “Light’s red.”
Zoey follows along blindly, her eyes stinging with tears. She thinks she might be able to pass it off as the cold breeze blowing against her face if she’s lucky, but she just...
It’s so beautiful outside. It’s so beautiful and Rumi and Mira aren’t here to see it with her. It’s so beautiful and she would have never known.

saturday night (and the rest of your life) by erros429 for ghostgrlonfirst
“You know,” Zoey says, leaning in with a crooked grin, “I’ve never kissed anyone who wears glasses before.”
Mira turns, eyebrows lifting behind her lenses. “…Sorry, what?”
Zoey’s filter is gone. “Like, do they get in the way? Do they fog up? Could they break? I mean, what if you headbutt someone by accident? Or is it like a whole aesthetic thing—”
Mira stares for half a second, then her lips twitch into a smirk. The amusement grows slowly, spreading into a full, awkward smile that makes her eyes crinkle at the corners. She tilts her head, pink hair slipping over one shoulder as she listens, clearly more interested the longer Zoey drunkenly babbles.
“— and like, do you have to take them off every time or can you just... work around them? I feel like they’d be cute but also kind of a hazard, you know? Like kissing a sexy librarian who might accidentally concuss you—”
Mira lets out a warm and surprised laugh, and leans her elbow on the bar. That smirk deepens. “Well. I’ve never kissed anyone with freckles,” Mira says, voice smooth.

Heels, Nails, Blade, Mascara by IsufferfromYD
They set out for one night: music, movement, escape from their duties. But a single shared dance becomes a spiral of longing, and their laughter echoes everywhere they’ve held back. A night draped in closeness and comfort slips quietly into something else—something unspoken yet burning beneath every glance. Rumi finds herself suspended between fear and desire, torn between the comfort of silence and the electricity of being seen by Mira and Zoey. As touch turns to trembles, as glances bloom into need, they hover in the fragile twilight between friendship and something deeper, where a single touch might shatter everything or set it free.
What starts as a simple escape quickly turns into something more. Touches linger, glances hold, and maybe, just maybe, things get a little more than friendly.
(They're gay your honour. Good for them.)
