Don't u hate it when ur finally getting over your (canonically almost world-ending) situationship so u try maybe kinda flirting with a man u meet at some fancy party (or w/e) only to find out later that he's the estranged brother of your best friend and u were attracted to him BECAUSE he reminds you of said best friend.
Tldr: rumi doesn't realise she's talking to miras brother (he really reminds her of mira ie same eyes, same speech pattern etc, but rumi doesnt quite realise it). Her brother knows who she is ofc and figures that he should probably keep his distance, but rumi reminds him of mira and he can't help but want to spend some time with, if not his sister then with his sister's new family. (Also the Japanese movies mentioned are her brothers fav that he showed her when they were younger, so he's taken a back when rumi mentions that mira watches them with r and z the way that she used to w him)
EDIT: I'm just now seeing the typo in the last text panel for rumi FCK (your not youre)
Also rumi is mocking the whole corporate jargon vocab at the end there
Also the lighting at the start on his face is supposed mirror miras bit in the golden mv (for in my head they are foils/mirrors or w/e). And their meeting is reminiscent of how rumi met mira too (I think I made a post abt that ages ago?)
You can pry my hc that mira and her brother are so alike (physically obvs but low key in many other ways too) from my cold dead hands. serving cunt is a hereditary trait. They come from a farming family (An aura farming family):
Also I think it would be funny if not everyone assumes that huntr/X killing demons on-stage is part of the act like her brother sees the whole boss battle w gwi ma on TV and is like "oh I guess they're mudang? Ok"
I Always envision an introduction of her brother on a balcony or rooftop etc, half in half out. Looking out to the open, (open sky) but still stuck in the building. U kno for the symbolism
Context/ plot list/ vibes under the cut
For context: Huntr/X is invited to a fancy elite party or w/e but it's not the glitz and glam kind it's the %1 of the %1 kind of thing.
And they're invited when other entertainment people aren't is bc their economic impact when they tour/ release new stuff is comparable to like a small country's gdp or smth. But zoey can't go bc she's scheduled to appear on like idk physical 100 and she's not missing that for anything. And Mira has some fashion thing idk on but also is like ugh, you couldn't get me to go to on of those things if u paid me.Rumi who after the whole demon reveal thing (weight off her shoulders) is like fuck it I'll go by myself idc I look hot it could be fun.
Mira: "you haven't been to many of those things have you"
And she goes and it's yea bougie af but she can't help but feel like everyone there is looking at her like wolves do a lamb. And this senator dick won't leave her alone (idk doesn't have to be creepy but I feel we've all met people who talk at you foreverrrrrr) so she's having face but ready to tell him to fuck off.
Then some man comes up, politely interrupts and says that the senator is needed elsewhere. And the senator, who was talking a big game, doesn't protest and immediately leaves with the stranger. Rumi didn't get a good look at the man but as they leave he glances back at her, not a wink or a nod but enough to acknowledge, like "gotchu girl"
And later she sees him by himself outside, and as they talk she has this uncanny feeling like she knows him. She can't put her finger on it but she feels comfortable w him, and there's something more to him than he's letting on. He also seems cagey and evasive, but not disingenuous. But then he mentions the "demon type", which sets alarm bells off like does he know? How? Is he just referring to the lyrics from takedown? That seems way too specific tho that would be weird for him to do that.
Then they're interrupted before she gets any answers, but before she goes back inside she pauses. He's like "it was a pleasure". But she has this weird feeling abt him and the demon reference makes her even more suspicious, so she grabs his hand to see if patterns light up. They don't (not a DEMON woo)He's like "tf are you doing"She bails after that it's a bit embarrassing.
Later she's telling zoey abt the guy (damn she can't remember his name) and she's describing him/ his vibes like she's sure they've seen him before. Zoeys like "I mean I can't think of any GUYS like who you're describing". Not mentioning she's pretty much described Mira exactly.
This isn't anything related to anything else storywise, just riffing off my fav hc that despite mira being the "black sheep" and not getting on w her family they are actually a lot alike (like that other post I made w the gala penthouse thing)
Key differences tho are:She's driven by love where as her father is driven by existential insecurity and fear.
Her mother (although v smart) is v selfish/ emotionally immature where she is the opposite.
Mira knows who she is (secure in her identity) but her brother doesn't know himself anymore (a consequence of trying to win the love of their parents.
Like they both have the same core wound (not seen/loved by their parents - in the right way anyway) but they have vastly different responses to it.Ie Mira becomes so bold and audacious and successful that they are forced to see/ recognise her. Whereas her brother distorts himself in an attempt to match what he understands them to want.
Neither approach is successful, not the kids fault tho it's the parents.
Something so funny to have a character who is the visual of a famous kpop group with a core wound of wanting "to be seen" ie recognised and loved by her family for who she is. Also her name literallymeans look in spanish lol
Tho I will say any story abt her family to me isn't rich parents = bad and mean, it's more about how tragedies of the past ripple through generations and how, try as we might, we can never be completely separated from family bc it's literally in our blood.
I will say that I think it would be funny if at first the brother seems to be another example of the chaebol son trope. Only for that to not be the case ie he looks/seems the part so people assume it's the case ie seems aloof and laconic but is actually disassociating so hard and doesn't speak a lot bc his parents were like omg dude shut tf up when he was younger rip self esteem). And wears the suits that people might associate w that east Asian Mafia aesthetic but he's like damn I can't wear t shirts to these meetings tf do u what me to do. He can't help that he has resting bitch face an high cheekbones.
I like to think that unlike her parents, she misses her brother deeply, and he does as well. And they both love each other deep down but both think that the other resents them. And it's easier to hate than to love. But love is persistent. And so they keep memories of one another (maybe her brother is a huuuge kurosawa fan, and used get mira to watch his favourite movies with him. And so she loves to watch those movies with rumi and zoey. Bitter-sweet. And maybe mira would put on performances as a little kid dancing to her favourite songs. And her parents were always too busy. But her brother would sit and watch and applaud. And now he has a playlist of all of those songs. That he listens to when he's sad/lonely. Which is often these days. Bitter-sweet). Also so much time has passed since they last saw each other that it would take Mira like 8 seconds to recognise him now
Anyway I love the intro scene in silence of the lambs where you expect lecter to be a monster but when he's first on-screen he's v clean and presentable, and then later he bites someone's face of like the juxtaposition is tastyyyy.So this is my little version of that w rumi assuming that her brother would be a dick, bc Mira doesn't get on w her family and she's cool so he must not be, then when she realises who he is she's taken aback bc he's actually a lot like mira. But also like mira and herself amd zoey (kpop stars who moonlight as demon hunters) there's a lot more to him than just appearances

Rumi headbutts the girls a lot post canon. Randomly and gently pushing her forehead against them like a cat. They don't quite know why she does it, but they don't complain. They find it cute, and it's pretty clear it's a sign of endearment.
One day Mira can't take it anymore and has to ask what she's doing, cause Rumi only ever does this to her and Zoey and surely that means something, right?
"I do it anytime I want to kiss you." Rumi sheepishly admits.
Zoey coos so aggressively she almost starts crying. Mira's eyes do tear up and she pulls Rumi close so she can headbutt her, soft and lingering. She pulls back and Zoey swoops in to replace Mira's forehead with her own upon Rumi's. Mira pushes in again, this time her head pressing against Rumi's neck. Zoey pulls back to do the same on the other side.
Rumi gets the message and this time, she finally kisses them.
Watched a documentary about marine life, thought about Zoey and decided to write something. Not really a big deal cause I'm shitty at writing scenarios but maybe think of it like a late-night-raw-feelings type of talk? A bit drunk in sleepy feels with your favorite people and opening your heart. Type of talks you don't really talk about in the morning so... Yeah feel free to add anything tho.
)))))
"At the end, I think it is love that brings them back." Zoey says going uncharacteristically quiet.
"What do you mean?"
"I, is just..." She says with motions of hands "If you woke up with no conscience at all and saw the open sky and the vast ocean, wouldn't you too fight to reach it? No one can take that from you" She looks at the windows "I think I would want to come back and let my children live this too." And that sentence sounds full of things too big to be talked with no metaphors.
"I don't know. I don't think biology aligns just for love, it doesn't seem like stinct and the magnetic fields of the earth would follow that logic." And that feels truthful too. That someone like Mira wouldn't think everything that connects you by blood would work that way.
"I think you're right. But isn't it just marvelous? That maybe your love could be so strong that you rewrite even things like that?" And at that statement Mira goes quiet. Even Rumi who hasn't said much the whole evening stares.
"I think that too could be truth." Rumi says "maybe is the same with us humans."
"Yeah? How does it goes?" Mira is strangely curious now, almost childlike. Is rare that their talks take such turn.
"I mean, you know like the whole history about humans being Nomads and just deciding to stop and take place" she's a bit bashful now "historically it's because they realized you could farm, but maybe it could be because someone was in love."
They're all a bit intrigued now. Zoey is, as always, the first one to cling to a new idea.
"I mean, can you imagine?" She smiles at them " just someone going 'i wish I could wake up everyday and see the way the sun touches upon these hills' and another person just goes 'i shall find a way you can' and just fighting till this becomes true?"
"No wonder you're the lyricist" Mira smiles "that's way too poetic."
And it's such a cop out, she thinks. Because maybe it is true. They know how many things go the same. How your love and fear and will to protect can take such a shape that it changes the course of humanity. How only voices can shape protection and how it goes from generation through generation doing the same. How after one hunter comes the other and how love shapes their ways. How she could see the kind of shape love takes when she sees Rumi and Celine in front of a grave, and how this same love changed rumi's duty. How all the way to the States it found Zoey. How she too would find a way to make them stay. Spend a lifetime making sure they can wake up and feel how deep and whole she feels for them. She would want the same for her children.
Rumi laughs and thinks about how it is true. Zoey's way too charming with words but all the same it isn't just that.
"Maybe everything is about love and we just caught up to it a bit late. Maybe... Maybe everything is either a love or no-love deal" She's playing with the end of her braid. Mira wishes she could live in this moment "science says civilization started with a mended femur, you know? There's love in rewriting survival of the fittest to help heal someone"
"That's so cool. I never thought about things like that" Zoey says "can you imagine the possibilities? I could live like that. Defining life by love and living only for this. It's kinda what we do, with the honmoon and all, it just never occured to me to name it like that" she shrugs a bit.
hello i'm back to hold you at gun point and tell you to read ovenglovee's work.
she's among my favourite authors in any fandom for a reason, and that's because her writing and character analysis is absolutely breathtaking. she weaves metaphors into the narrative perfectly (more on that later) and gives them room to stretch out and get comfortable in a way that i aspire to achieve. an absolute master at her craft, and a genuine delight, even when her fics make me cry so hard i get headaches sometimes.
bloodhound [E] [Rumira] [Ongoing]
Mira and Rumi are pretty torn up after the Idol Awards. They have sex about it. It’s about as messy as you'd imagine.
i'm actually unwell about this fic. it's an incredible character study on Mira and her animal need to be useful. i've never seen this backstory for her before but it makes perfect sense, and it's so cleverly linked to how she behaves around Rumi.
their relationship is extremely messy and complicated but it's perfectly characterised and i'm so sympathetic to both of them. they're both so hurt and unfamiliar with being loved
this may, at its core, be about Mira, but Rumi is incredible in this fic too. she's that perfect mix of very confident and just a little bit pathetic.
so many lines from this one are looping in my head constantly.
after the tone [T] [Rumira] [Complete]
You have 64 voicemails from: Mira. Press 1 to play.
god i can barely speak on this one. it's main character death, and it is devastating, so be warned.
it's told in the form of voicemails left by Mira before and after Rumi died and there's so much emotion and information across in just dialogue and descriptions of sounds.
it took me ages to read this because i knew MCD written by ovenglovee would take me out with it and i wasn't wrong at all but if you have the stomach for it, bring some tissues.
faultlines [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]
faultline (noun)
a line on a rock surface or the ground that traces a geological fault.
an area of a system that seems weak and likely to cause problems or failure.
a divisive issue or difference of opinion that is likely to have serious consequences.
hoooooly shit, faultlines. this one also made me sob so be warned again.
did you watch the movie and think the fact that all those people on the train dying wasn't addressed sufficiently? look no further. this is the fic for looking into the impact of that on Rumi in particular.
when i think about ovenglovee's mastery over extended metaphors, this is the fic i think of. the concept of one small thing causing absolute devastation is woven tightly into the story throughout and it's perfect. i'm still stunned by how incredible it is.
if found, please return to [M] [Polytrix] [Complete]
A soft Rumi character study featuring cows, colours and collars.
this and its E-rated sequel, damaged goods, handle with care, is probably the fic you recognise the author for, and it's an incredible character study on Rumi and her need for rules, punishment, and praise.
despite the rating this isn't actually a very smutty fic. there's a lot of focus on non-sexual kink, and it's the first time i've seen that explored in a fic. it rearranged my brain chemistry on how kink can be used as a character study and i've never been the same since.
also, she loves cows. this isn't related to the kink she just thinks they're neat. moomi is real.
on every shore, in every life [T] [Rumira] [Complete]
Mira, Rumi and the ocean over the years.
another excellent character study of both Mira and Rumi. i'm trying not to repeat myself too much but once again, perfect metaphors. this feels like it's as much a love letter to the ocean as it is to Rumira and I mean that in the best way possible.
its sequel, sea glass, is also incredible. i love it when people give Mira a weird relationship with her brother and this is exactly that, plus a delve into Mira and Celine's relationship and their similarities.
extremely soft and sweet, even with a difficult subject matter. i don't know how ovenglovee does it.
frostbitten [T] [Polytrix] [Complete]
In which Rumi learns to love and be loved.
this and its sequel sunkissed are another set of absolutely incredible Rumi character studies done through extended metaphors and beautiful prose. the imagery of rot and how Rumi feels it applies to her is, once again, masterful and devastating.
and, of course, all that hurt is met with equally soft comfort. Mira and Zoey love Rumi so much and it's so clear in this fic.
please please please read ovenglovee's works. i cannot express enough how much i admire her writing.
