"You've Bewitched Me"
Prompt - NRC is in upheaval. A video of Yuu singing a song has been circling around the school about her being "bewitched," and everyone is trying to figure out by who. Yuu is embarrassed and upset about her private song being the subject of gossip, so she decides to hide from everyone only for her crush to find her and reveal he has been "bewitched," by her...
Pairings - NRC Students x F!reader
Warnings - Gossip, Incredibly Shy Reader with Stage Fright, Depictions of Anxiety, Not Beta Read
Song - "Bewitched" by Laufey
Prologue (Here) - Heartsyble - Savannaclaw - Octavinelle - Scarabia - Pomefiore - Ignanhyde - Diasmonia
Tumblr media
When @/thegreatestmagealive uploaded a video of the Ramshackle Perfect singing a love song, to say NRC nearly blew up would be an understatement.
The song, the poster titled “Bewitched,” became an instant hit across campus, but also became the source of tension as everyone was asking the same question: Who bewitched the Ramshackle Perfect?
“20 Thumbmarks on Leona!”
“15 on Kalim!”
“Kalim? Really, no it has to be Vil!”
“30 DOLLARS ON LORD MALLEUS!”
“EVERYONE HUSH! Now Francis, how much on Vil?” The Halls of NRC were filled with gossip on who the song was about. There were multiple pots floating around of people betting on who it was about, and just as many heated discussions.
“Who says it’s a housewarden? She spends most of her time with the Freshies so it has to be one of them! My money is on the Red Head on the Basketball team, he is always hanging on her!” A Scarabia student chimed in at this corner table of the Cafateria.
“Ace? He’s an ass, no it has to be Spade! Anytime someone makes a comment about he at practice, he gets all defensive.” A Heartstyble student on the track team chimed in.
“That runt? Na, he has nothing on Jack.” The Savannaclaw student across from them chimed in.
“The Wolf? He barely says any words! Besides, the Perfect has more class than that, it has to be Epel!” A Pomefoire Student retorted getting glares from the Savannaclaw student.
“All of you are wrong, I ran the data,” The Ignanhyde student pulled out his tablet and showed them a chart, “Out of all the possibilities crossed referenced with the lyrics of the song, it has to be-“
Debates across the school were happening as people discussed who she was singing for. While some advocated for others, others advocated for themselves.
That night, in the midst of the debates, a poor Grim was looking for a place to stay the night. So he went first to Heartstyble.
Grim walked through the portal and saw *chaos*.
“CAULDRON!”
“DEUCE WHAT THE HELL!”
“Calm down you two! No one is going anywhere till Riddle gets back!”
Trey helped Ace out from under the cauldron while Cater tried to calm down Deuce who was red as roses. “Yuu’s private song was just released and all you can think about it YOURSELF!” Deuce called out to Ace as he attempted to wesal himself out of Cater’s grip.
Ace dusted himself off as Trey helped him up, “Well, it is pretty obvious! Who else could it be about? You Loosey Duece? Or maybe Mr. Magicam? Chef Dad? Or maybe, our esteemed leader? No. It has to be me, so I am going to go check on her-“
Deuce tackled Ace, again, so Trey and Cater had to dive in to separate the two.
It did not take long for grim to realize it might be best to come back later. So he went back through the portal to try Savannaclaw.
But his scruff was grabbed before he could step through.
“Heeeey, Sealie!!” Grim gulped as he knew that voice all too well. Floyd turned Grim around so he was facing the two most terrifying smiles in NRC. “Mind clearing something up for Jade and I? See, he thinks Shrimpy’s song is about him, but I say its bout me. And every guppy is saying a different name, so we wanted to get info from them inside fishie~”
“W-what are you talking about!” Grim said crossing his arms. He knew he was in deeeeep dodo.
“Come now Grim, you must know who she’s singing about?” Jade said with a sonically smile on his face, “Now, as Yuu’s close friends, we just want to know, who bewitched our dear friend?”
“Yeeeaaah Sealie, who?” Floyd sung melodically.
“I-I ain’t saying anything!” Grim kept his mouth shut. He had already made Yuu mad, he didn’t want to make. It any worse.
“Oh come on Sealie! Everyone has a price! What’s yours??-“
“What are you two doing?” Came the harsh voice of Vil, Grim’s savior. The housewarden meeting must have finished. Early as all seven, yes even Malleus, came into the hall of mirrors to witness poor little grim shiver in his fur.
“Heya Beta!” Floyd said and waved Grim around, “We’re just asking Sealie a question! That’s all!”
“I’m guessing it’s about Yuu?” Azul asked as he made his way over to his Eel’s. “How is the Ramshackle Perfect? We missed her at the meeting.”
“Yuu… wellllllllll….” Grim scratched his cheek and the other housewarden’s came over, all wondering the same thing, “She is kinda sorta mad at me. And kinda sorta threw me out for ‘not respecting her privacy’ which I didn’t mean to get her upset, I just wanted to show everyone she had a pretty voice and she got all mad.”
“We’ll if you need a place to stay, Octavinelle is always open to poor souls! And I am sure we can work out a pi-“
“We all know what you want Azul, just ask him now so we can clear this up!” Leona said, clearly annoyed at the Mers underhanded methods. “Whose the song about?”
“I-I don-“
“Why are we even asking this question? It is clearly me!” Vil said shaking his head.
“What makes you so sure Schoenheit?” Malleus asked, “I spend more time with the Child of Man and have more magical prowess, it is defiantly about me. I was just about to grab her the-“
“No way the songs about you Lizard!” Leona retorted, “She clearly-“
“The Song’s about Nii-Chan! I ran the-“ Ortho chimed in with Idia listening in on his screen.
“WILL YOU ALL BE QUIET!” Riddle yelled, somehow getting the attention of the others, “This is disgraceful! You are. All concerned with your own selfish needs when you should be worrying about our fellow housewarden whose privacy has been breached and is probably distraught!”
Kalim nodded and said, “Yeah, we need to go cheer her up! Besides, it was probably just a song about love, nothing else!”
Grim sighed and added, “Oh its about someone, You she hear the other songs she wrote about him-“
“About WHO!” Everyone asked.
“I DON’T KNOW!” Grim said and got the glares of everyone.
Azul sighed and said, “You just said you knew.”
“I said I knew she has a crush and wrote more songs about him. I never said I knew WHO it was.” He crossed his arms and looked at the ground, “And she threw me out before I could ask. I tried going back in but she sounded so… upset. When I asked to come back in and apologized she said she just wanted to be alone…”
The group looked dejected at this. Floyd let Grim go and sighed, “Poor Shrimpy…”
Azul looked at Jade and Floyd, “Let’s go, Lounge won’t run itself.”
As Azul left with his Eels, Leona and Kalim also branched off their dorms, “Jamil is probably wondering where I am.”
“Yeah, I gotta make sure Savannaclaw is still in one piece.”
Vil and Ortho branched off next with Vil grumbling about wrinkles and Ortho talking to Idia.
Riddle and Malleus were the last two left with Grim.
“Grim, your welcome to stay at Heartstyble. It might help keep Ace and Deuce in.” Riddle said then looked to Malleus, “The Perfect probably needs a night, but if you do check on her, please let her know I-… We are here if she needs us.”
“I will Roseheart,” Malleus nodded to his red haired companion as he and Grim walk through the Heartstyble Mirror. Malleus turns and before he can make his way to Ramshackle, Lilia is there. All he has to do is shake his head and Malleus knows what his mentor is trying to say, she needs time alone.
The next morning, the first years go to Ramshackle to walk with Yuu to breakfast as they do every morning, but when they got their, the ghost intervened and said she needs to sleep in. The three ghost refused to let any of them enter and even brought Grim’s stuff to the door.
Yuu did not show to any of her classes or reply to any text, and all of her friends quickly understood why. Yuu’s song was all everyone was talking about, more specifically, who it was about. All the pots from the nights before had tripled and almost every students had a guess on who it was about. Yuu has never felt more embarrassed.
By the time night rolled around again, Yuu had read every text, post, and comment about her song. People were making guesses and demanding she confess who. In the midst of the chaos and rumors, all she could think about was what her crush was thinking. She had liked him as more than a friend for a while now, but had no clue if he returned the sentiment. All the worse possibilities were running through her head.. ‘He probably thinks I’m some obsessed freak, this is so embarrassing, Grim ruined. everything, there is no coming back from this. our friendship is ruined, I can never show my face at school again…” Thoughts like this combined with her stage fright made her mood worse. She wrote songs and sang them to help her work through things, it was incredibly personal for her and she never intended to share any of them, not yet at least. Now she was lying in her bed, curled up in her blankets with her phone lighting up with text next to her. She could not bring herself to talk to anyone, she was too scared and embarrassed to.
The Ghost have been kind enough to fend off Grim (who she was still mad at) and her friends (who she was still too embarrassed to see) so she could have some time alone. They worked as her guards and caretakers, making her eat and get up every now and then. They were also the only ones who knew who her songs were about.
So when he arrived on her doorstep, the ghost decided to let him in.
Yuu was looking at her notebook, pouring over the lyrics again and again when a knock came at her bedroom door.
“Yuu… can I come in?” His voice carried through the door.
Yuu felt her heart stop. She held her notebook tightly and sighed, “I guess its now or never…”
She got up from her bed, notebook in hand, and stood in front of the door. She was shaking and as she stared at the door, terrified of what would happen next, when he cast a spell over her once again:
“Yuu, I… I don’t. know if that song was about me but I want you to know. You’ve bewitched me too.”

heartslabyul boys with a dormmate (male) who is allergic to sugar, Like his allergy is terrible, if he consumes too much sugar he could end up dying, even if he eats little he gets an extremely irritated throat, so during birthday parties he just drinks tea or eats some fruit that was left on top of some cake or pie.
I ended up making this one gn because I noticed I didn't use any gendered terms lol
♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧
Summary: Due to a rare health condition, consuming sugar can be extremely dangerous for you. To the tea party-loving Heartslabyul boys, this is something new.
Riddle/Trey/Ace/Deuce/Cater + gn!reader (SFW)
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts
• this boy would be VERY cautious
• like he'll make sure there isn't even any sugar near you
• he watches the more mischievous Heartslabyul boys closely so they won't accidentally slip you any sugar
• "Trey, please tell me there isn't any sugar in the tea?"
• feels a bit sad that you can't eat his favorite pies
• he kinda relates to not being able to eat sugar, though for different reasons (*cough* his mom *cough*)
Tumblr media
Trey Clover
• he can't really make his standard desserts for the party with less sugar, so he makes an exclusive sugar-free dessert for you
• if you do accidentally eat sugar, he takes the best care of you
• he doesn't want you to just sit there during the Unbirthday Party while everyone else is having fun with the cakes, so making something for you was a must for him
• these desserts have actually become so popular with other Heartslabyul students that he now has to make them in higher quantities
• has definitely offered to make a cake that has oyster paste instead of sugar in it (ahem)
• the perfect mix of cautious and lighthearted
Tumblr media
Ace Trappola
• has definitely tried to make you eat sugar before
• immediately stopped his attempts once you told him off
• helps Trey make the sugar-free desserts & sneaks out a few fruits for you
• has secretly googled your condition & done A LOT of research on it
• picking out snacks for your birthday usually ends up with Ace secretly calling Deuce and discussing sugar, too (see: Deuce)
• "Naww, Y/N! Such a pity that you can't have a bite of MINE! But... hehe, I can still have a piece of YOURS, right? Pleaaase?"
Tumblr media
Deuce Spade
• he forgot it the second you told him for the first time or mixed it up with someone else
• has accidentally gifted you sugary snacks before (you luckily noticed) & got made fun of by Ace
• however, he has improved a lot and now pays extra attention
• when buying snacks for you, he has semi-aggressive phone calls with Ace ("You think I can buy this?" — "Dude, are ya crazy! Too much sugar for sure!")
• somehow doesn't trust anyone around you & always keeps a few dessert toppings for you
• helps Trey make the sugar-free desserts for you
Tumblr media
Cater Diamond
• like Ace, he has definitely googled your condition, but he did it the very second you told him
• didn't have any strong feelings on it as he dislikes sugary sweets and could go his whole life without much sugar
• actually grew to like Trey's exclusive sugar-free desserts
• he honestly doesn't care about it tbh (unless you've accidentally had sugar and are having complications because of it)
• he DOES gift you really healthy sugar-free snacks regularly
• "Heeyy Y/N! Look here, Vil advertised these on his Magicam and I HAD to buy them! Wanna have one?"

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?
Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "mobumi "?
Hi thank you for the ask! :) My url is really random haha i wanted something with megumi in it but ran out of ideas and just combined Mob and Megumi who are two of my favorite characters!
I don't really have a top 10 of my fav fics. You see, i'm more of a writer than a reader and ever since i've started reading fanfictions, i've never really added them to my favorites so I can go back to them whenever I wanted to. Also, i haven't been on AO3 for that long and i forget so many times to bookmark the fics i like, but I'm really trying to change that. So yeah it's really difficult for me to tell you what are my 10 favorite fics ever :/
But there are a few that i bookmarked or found on my history, so at least here are the fics that i really liked to read recently:
Brother, I'm Not Homophobic, But I Don't Like Your Boyfriend by TheChaoticAce (JJK) - Funny and cute, i loved it so much!
Utopia by heartnoace (Ace of Diamond) - A rare pair with a very interesting plot, very creative, loved it!
along for the ride by capncrunchy (JJK) - So good, but haven't finished it yet
laundry and taxes by HamsterQinghua (JJK) - Everything everywhere all at one with itafushi and satosugu :)
Through the Lens by Talon9506 (Link Click) - So sweet, i love these kinds of fics!
Two Dads by Mel_Fushiguro (JJK) - This one was so funny!!
a bento for dr. kageyama by zukushou (Haikyuu!!) - I was grinning like an idiot reading this, i really enjoyed it!
Stay out of the Rain by Midotaka16 (One Piece) - Cuteness overload!!
Duty by hqnako_tsuki (One Piece) - Nice to read, cute zolu
Flattery Or An Insult by last_train_home (Ace of Diamond) - Another rare pair, but very cute even though my favorite ship is miyusawa :3

Dorms and their reactions to Demon Slayer!Yuu
Tumblr media
Warnings: dark themes, ptsd mentioned, angsty content ahead, hurt + comfort, spoilers for book 1 of twst
No I will not stop talking about this please I need content and I’m a slut for crossovers. This is meant to be platonic but if you envision somethin else idc
No gendered pronouns to refer to mc/Yuu, only “you”
Heartslabyul (here)- Savanaclaw - Octavinelle - Scarabia - Pomefiore - Ignihyde - Diasomnia
Context:
You’re a demon slayer, an extremely experienced one at that. You have been fighting demons ever since you were young, and preparing to do so even younger. When you were unexpectedly thrown into Twisted Wonderland and admitted to NRC, you hid your sword in your uniform, and stashed away your clothes once you could. You figured the best way to survive here was to hide your cards. After all, being surrounded by morally questionable strangers with magic was not ideal. In the case you really needed it, you figured it was best to pretend to be weak so you’re strength can cover you when you need it most.
Now that a few months have passed and you’ve gained reliable friends, you didn’t see a point anymore. You felt safer than you ever have in you’re entire life. You were no longer on a battlefield, no longer surrounded by the pained cries of the people you failed to save. But the battle was catching up to you. Now that you were no longer fighting constantly, you had more time to think. You’re nightmares of battle have been getting worse and you can’t escape it. The guilt of hiding such an integral part of yourself from your friends wasn’t helping either. Eventually though, you let the dam break. You tell them about you’re life, the reason behind your scars and show them your sword. There’s tears in your eyes and you’re shaking like the child you once were long ago.
Riddle
When you first entered NRC he was taken aback by you’re clothing, even more so with you’re visible scars and toughened look.
Even before you became friends he took note of the look in you’re eyes. He felt uneasy, it did not give the impression a normal teenagers eyes would. Whenever he caught you alone in the hallways you would always hold that deadened gaze, even if it was paired with a pleasant smile.
It was during his overblot when he saw the look in your eyes change. You’re dead eyes turned wide with fear and worry. But not at him, rather for him. When he woke up after, he could’ve sworn you were in the edge of tears. Later you would tell him you were just worried for his safety, which was true. (Although only you would know why your fear ran so deep)
he thought of you as a very tough, resilient and brave individual, a view that continued as long as he knew you. So imagine his surprise when he accidentally walked in on you crying.
He felt something was wrong for a while, although today was especially bad. You were tense, jumpier, and had dark circles around your eyes that only got worse. It all went down when he came over to Ramshackle for a study session. You had forgotten all about it, having scheduled it a week earlier. Currently you were holding a trinket from a loved one you had lost to a demon and were bawling your eyes out.
In the heat of your mourning, you didn’t hear Riddle come in or walk up the stairs to your room. Despite all your training, your senses failed you even when Riddle knocked on the door.
He heard you and warning bells went off in his head, after how you were acting all week he decided he couldn’t ignore it anymore and opened the door.
He called out you’re name in the softest voice, his brows furrowed. He didn’t know what to do or what was going on, having not been comforted much growing up meant he was a little lost.
Your head snapped up, and Riddle stumbled seeing you’re face.
Your eyes were bloodshot and heavy, as if it held all the sorrow in the world and it just couldn’t contain it. You’re lip was nearly gnawed through from the way you were trying to stifle you’re cries.
At first he thought you were just homesick with the way you clutched the trinket in your hands. But he came to realize he was very wrong.
A demon slayer? You really witnessed all that death that young?
And oh god your scars. They ran all over your body. Claw marks, blades, burns, tears, bruises, they littered your body. He was sickened by all the near death experiences you had. The most he felt he could do was sit by you and listen to your story. He’s holding your hand, looking at you, gently motioning you to continue.
Truthfully his view of you doesn’t change. He’s impressed by your skills, your selflessness, and your determination. In the end, he researches ways he could help you. You were suffering, and you trusted him enough with all of this. The least he could do was to support you.
He hugs you so tightly, even though he was never really big on physical touch. Just this once, how could not? He gives such a gentle smile, “I promise to help any way I can, Prefect. Please, rely on me. You’ve done so much already.”
Trey
Being extremely observant, he knew that you didn’t lead a normal life.
The first instance was when you were making the tart for Riddle. He walked over to give you some pointers as you worked on the chestnuts. He didn’t show it, but he was surprised by your hands. They were thick and calloused, with small scars all over.
He didn’t think much of it, he was just under the impression you must have worked outside or in carpentry back home.
That is, until Riddle’s overblot.
You were calm, too calm for someone who apparently was never in a life or death situation. Not to mention your strategies, but maybe you were just intelligent.
You were magicless, a completely normal human, yet you deflected and dodged every attack. No one really noticed, as you were off to the side, except for him.
Truthfully, he didn’t have much evidence other than that. Just that he felt something was innately wrong. There was something in the way you carried yourself, the way you’re body tensed at any sound at night, the way your eyes glazed over and fell into void when you thought no one was looking.
It was when you came over to help him bake something did he have to guts to ask.
You were chopping up fruit with impressive skill, something that came in handy whenever he had to prepare a large amount of treats for an unbirthday party. You enjoyed the time with him, after all, you were allowed to take some home for yourself if there was extra.
“What did you do back home?”
You paused, the knife hovering over the apples you were slicing. “What do you mean?”
“Well…” He trailed off, trying to find the words, “I guess I’m just curious is all.”
You continued to cut through the fruit, the tension never releasing from your shoulders. “Ah, well I never really had much of an education. I started working pretty early, I…erm…” You stumbled, trying to think up of an excuse, “I worked as a farmer.”
Trey frowned, knowing damn well you lied. But he took it, figuring you must’ve had a good reason to. You were normally so honest, (too honest for Adeuce and grim’s liking) so you must’ve felt it necessary.
But what he didn’t know was the guilt gnawing at you. It was a dirty lie, a meaningless one even. You told yourself you didn’t want to ruin the happy mood but that was a lie too.
As Trey put the desserts in the oven and set the timers you fumbled with your apron. You spoke as steadily as your voice allowed, “Trey, I lied earlier. I’m not a farmer, it’s just the real answer isn’t a happy one. I didn’t want to scare you, I’m sorry.”
He turned around with a soft smile, and nodded for you to continue.
And so you did, with the both of you seated on the stools you recounted your life. Truth be told, Trey was just as horrified as Riddle. But he kept a straight face best he could and let you talk. He watched as the tension leave your shoulders as the weight above you finally dropped.
It was then Trey really got a good look at you. The scars that trailed just above the collar and cuffs of your shirt and the dark circles under your eyes. You just looked so tired.
“Thank you for telling me.” He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you in gently. He was near tears himself, he couldn’t imagine someone his little sibling’s age witnessing all of that.
“I’ll take care of the rest, Prefect. Why don’t you stay here at Heartslabyul? I want to make sure you get a good nights’ rest.”
Cater
Like Ace and Deuce, he didn’t notice anything either. And if he did, he never pried. Out of everyone he understood the most about wanting to keep parts of your identity hidden.
Although he was initially weirded out by the way you reacted to his phone. It was like you were from a hundred years ago or something. In the end he did teach you how to use it, which you were forever grateful for now that you were living in a modern world.
You were a hard worker, he’ll give you that. You never let being magicless stop you from doing anything. When he tricked asked you to help him paint the roses, he noticed the pride you took in your work.
A lot of your interactions after Riddle’s overblot was him teaching you how to navigate social media. Especially when he realized how fucking ripped you are. He asked you to hold him up once for a pic and the amount of likes you got was insane.
Sure, you didn’t understand half of what he was saying but you liked his enthusiasm! It was nice to have a friend like him, someone that made you feel normal. Like with Adeuce, his fast paced nature let you forget about your past.
Of course, you couldn’t keep it a secret forever. Cater wanted to go shopping and dress you up so you could have matching outfits for magicam, and it was getting harder to avoid. After all, an outfit that showed more skin than the uniform meant he would see your scars front and center.
But that’s not how he found out, rather it was during a movie night y’all had at Heartslabyul.
You bunked with Cater for the night since he didn’t have a roommate and besides, it was fun to have a sleepover with your newfound bestie.
You struggled falling asleep, and when you did your nightmares came back full swing.
You woke up screaming, Cater had shaken you awake and he was terrified.
“Hey! Hey! It’s alright! Calm down Prefect, it was just a dream. Breathe alright?”
He explained that you were crying in your sleep, mumbling incoherent things with such fear that he had to wake you up. You really scared him.
When he asked you about your nightmare, you couldn’t bring yourself to lie. I mean, here he was, at your side with eyes wide and hands clasped to yours. If you lied to him now, could you really call each other friends?
So you told him, initially he thought that it must’ve been a crazy nightmare from a horror movie. But you explained that it was real, although the events were dramatized in your dream.
He was at a loss for words, all your odd little actions clicked into place. Of course you didn’t understand technology and hated when he walked around at night.
But he understood, bringing you into a hug and let you cry into his shoulder. You felt so small, fragile even. Nothing like before. In this moment you weren’t the strong and confident Ramshackle Prefect; rather a hurt child that couldn’t bear their burden any longer.
“Hey, why don’t we go to that one cafe by the beach tomorrow? It’ll be my treat, you’ve been wanting to go there for a while right?”
He held you tighter, he wasn’t a soldier or a fighter by any means, but he was a friend. He wanted to cheer you up, he couldn’t bear to see you like this.
“Oh you know what? Why don’t we finally go on that shopping trip you owe me. I’ll let you choose the fit though.”
Ace + Deuce
They absolutely walked in on you changing.
They were about to do something stupid, in fact they already have and we’re looking to you to help them out of it.
Deuce, the gentleman, was about to knock on your door to see if you were there.
Ace over here didn’t think twice about running to your room and kicking the door open. Deuce immediately protested, leading you to whip around with your shirt just over your head.
Your torso was showing, which of course was where the ugliest scars were.
Deuce yelled an apology and yanked Ace back, slamming the door shut. Both of them had seen it, and both had eyes as wide as saucers with a million thoughts running through their pea brains.
Initially, both of them thought you must’ve been some crazy thug or trouble maker to earn those scars. But the more they thought back on it, if you were just a troublemaker why did you have giant claw marks? Burns that bad surely couldn’t have come from just a few street fights.
They waited in the lounge for you to come down. For once they were quiet, and gave you their full attention when you walked in.
Tbh Deuce was wondering if you were in a gang. It would explain a lot about the scars. He never said it but he was a little hurt you would hide that from him since he came from similar circumstances.
Ace thought you finally had enough of him when you walked in holding a sword. Literally why would you scare him like that
You sighed and sat down on the decrepit couch. “Alright, I’ll answer your questions as honestly as I can. It’s the least I can do after hiding this for so long.”
Chaos
One question was shot one after the other, “What happened?!” “Were you in a gang?!” “Did you kill someone??!” “Why the sword?”
In the end you managed to shut them up and tell them everything. Honestly I don’t think they would’ve noticed your strange behavior at first. You were always cheery around them, sure you had your moments but no one at this school was normal.
Ace is a little salty you didn’t help more when they were fighting the overblot monster from the mines. You telling him you could’ve oneshot that guy while they were running around all crazy? Fake friends man
His attitude changes though when you answered Deuce’s questions about a specific scar he saw on your back. It was thick, running all the way down to your lower back. It twisted the skin in a way that showed how deep it ran.
You explained that that wound nearly killed you. Despite pushing through it, it weakened you severely. It marked one of the greatest failures of your career as a slayer. The result was a massacre of citizens and your teammates.
The air changed after that. For once, Ace and Deuce saw you at your weakest as you recounted the battle. The magicless Prefect, the human who faced dangerous overblots without a batting an eye, was shaking with tear filled eyes as they clutched their sword.
They were at a loss at what to do. This was a first, seeing you like this. In the end, they settled on cheering you up. They knew how much your past haunted you but you were at NRC now! Demons don’t exist here, and you gave everything to save those people. You couldn’t wallow forever, but you couldn’t help that. So as your friends, they’d support you as best they can.
“That’s actually pretty badass, I mean you got all these crazy stories.” Ace complimented.
“Yeah, no wonder you’ve made it though all those overblots. Just how strong are you?” Deuce followed up.
You sighed in relief, at least they weren’t freaked out or anything. You were finally able to relax into the couch with a small smile dancing on your lips.
“Can I use your sword?”
“No” 😐
“By the way, Grim is stuck in a tree. He’s hiding from Floyd after we pissed him off.”

“You look very nice tonight, my love. Ok now get in bed for our 8:30 bedtime!”
Leona
• ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’
• slow blinking to try and see whether or not he’s imagining the nightgown

• well, at least it’s good for the heat in Savanaclaw
“I don’t know what that is or why you’re wearing it but please just come to bed.”

• makes fun of you but then is sad when you’re turned away from him in bed
• he spoons you and makes a pouty face while he begs for your forgiveness
• cuddles you all night to make it up to you
“Sorry hun, I didn’t mean to -pfft- make fun of your pajamas.”
Malleus
• ‘aww look how cute my dearest is in th-‘
• *notices the skin of your ankles peeking out from under the nightgown*
• oh wait….it’s sexy
• you’re about to make this weirdo act up
• can’t sleep all night because he’s too busy thinking about how your ankles look in that nightgown

• now y’all can get up at 2am and go investigate a mysterious noise in the dorm

“I’ll buy you a night cap for your birthday so we can match.”

Love Looks Like...
Can be read platonically, romantically or like family :) (Orthos is not romantic btw go die if you were hoping for that <3)
Heartslaybul
Riddle- Handwritten notes lightly scented like roses ask you to come for tea, take him up on it. Spending time with you without the expectation of having to keep up with every single rule relaxes him immensely.
Trey- Icing on your nose, a teasing comment or two, and making your incoming complaining stop before it starts with a taste test. You're the one person he'll show off a little for, so long as its just the two of you.
Cater- Comfort, no need for the picture perfect smiles, the concealed, the makeup the filters- sitting in each other's company, holding onto the other as a reminder that reality is not quite as harsh as you remember since the other was a part of it.
Deuce- doting, anxiousness, fingertips brushing as bags are taken from your hands gently. Let him be who you rely on, let him show you he can be there for yoh the way he trusts you are there for him. Phone calls home, excited to tell his mom about you and memories you've made.
Ace- "You're an idiot" "I'm YOUR idiot", for anyone looking in they would think the two of you are enemies, but only at first glance. The silent communication as you lock eyes, his hand on your back to pull you away from things that make you uncomfortable, your hand on his shoulder to remind him when he should keep his mouth shut for his sake- a team. In private he needs to know that all the teasing is just that- so please hold him and play with his hair to remind him thats all it is.
Savanaclaw
Leona- "You look horrible. Come with me." Blunt to a fault, but it results in you in his arms, close and safe. Have you slept enough? Have you been taking care of yourself? He won't ask it out loud, but between his own stubborness and powers of delegation, he'll make sure you are taken care of. Soft purrs when you finally relax with him.
Ruggie- You don't remember packing any snacks, but magically there's one in your bag. He will never admit to it out loud, but he has a stronger stomach anyways. He can eat something else. You won't be going hungry, and that's whats important. You want to split it? Ah, damn maybe his stomach growling gave him away, but its that kind of kindness that made him want to look out for you. You're too soft!!
Jack- It takes a while before he's alright being openly cuddly, but he's always Right There. He always seems to know exactly what you need- the truth is he's been paying very close attention to you and your habits, and will ensure that you're happy as possible. You want to scratch behind his ears? He's not an actual dog- but fine. He'll bend down for you and pretend his tail isn't wagging a mile a minute.
Octavinelle
Azul- Solitude is something he's resigned himself to. He knows the tweels would turn on him on a dime if they so chose, and he's all but botched any other hopes at friendship. But for some reason you still seek him out. And for some reason, sharing his space isn't as bad as he thought it might be. Watching you sleep peacefully on his couch in his office makes him wonder what he did to make you feel so safe- but he's not complaining. Maybe you'd give him the same feeling if he could just get himself to try.
Jade- he's in awe of how little regard you seem to have for your well being. He just has to ask kindly and it seems you would follow him anywhere. As much as it nags in the back of his mind, he can't bring himself to act on any of his impulsive or intrusive thoughts. Especially when you listen to him ramble where others would ask him to stop.
Floyd- Throwing you. He's very physical. Maybe not throwing you or tackling you if its not something you cope well with, but its the novelty of knowing you'll come back. Whether its because of gravity or because he makes you laugh, you'll come back to him.
Scarabia
Kalim - Spontaneity. A blur of lines between what societal norms are for relationships, and just doing what makes you both happy. Life is so so short, so who cares if you hold hands or kiss each others heads and cheeks. Who cares if you fall asleep in each others arms. Let him explore with you, learn new things with you, travel with you. Life is better a minute at a time and he intends to spend as many minutes with you doing the things that excite the both of you as possible.
Jamil- Diligence. He pays attention to every possible detail. If you did the same for him, he may need a moment to process before accepting it.
Pomefiore
Vil- Political Incorrectness. So much hinges on what he says, how he acts, how he looks- with you he can speak freely. His opinions don't need careful wording. His disdain needs not be hidden. He doesn't need to sit like a lady nor eat like a gentleman. His laugh doesn't have to be his practiced melodic arpeggio but his real squawk. He trusts you wholly. Please reciprocate, so he feels like its ok.
Rook - Vulnerability. As much as he compliments other people, as hard as he works, he has never asked for praise. When he's in your arms, its quiet, almost like he didn't want you to hear him ask if you like him or you like what he says. Reassure him, praise him, and let him melt into you.
Epel - Having been raised on a farm he knows how to multitask and balance multiple responsibilities. He enjoys writing compliments on post its and slapping them onto you or around Ramshackle for you to discover- even if some of them are lightheartedly back handed. But his post its are also great to remind you when you have quizzes coming up or when you (mysteriously) need to go on another grocery run (for some items you've literally never had before but you know Vil wouldn't allow them at Pomefiore simply by the name of them).
Ignihyde
Idia- Hyperfixation rambler needs a listener. And its you. He loves the fact that if he doesn't feel up to talking though, you're perfectly happy just spending time in the same room together. But if you bring better snacks than he currently has on his room you Must Share. What do you mean he needs a real lunch first.
Ortho- baby brother!! He is still learning how to express love- or the idea of love to people other than his brother. But let him try!! He likes to "kiss" your forehead by bumping his face against yours, and makes happy little robot trills. Just tell him hes doing a great job. That's all he really needs.
Diasomnia
Malleus - journal entries he knows you'll never read. Beautiful black ink with a tinge of metallic forest green skillfully written in lovely calligraphy, lovingly filling the pages of his personal diary. Habits he has observed, his hopes for your future, and predictions of your past. Maybe one day he will read this to you, but for now he would rather spend his time having conversations to write later on. He will never let himself forget your importance.
Lilia- Silly silly old man. He wants to make every moment light, life is too short to simply dwell on possibilities, regrets and mistakes. Let him be the shoulder you cry on, so he can be the hand that helps you back up.
Silver - Dont lose faith in him. He knows that his narcolepsy can make it difficult to feel like he's genuinely there for you, but he swears to you he is. It's something he's still learning to navigate, please, just hold his hand through it all. He won't let go either.
Sebek - Gentleness. Its different coming from you than his father or Lilia or Silver. It's redirecting his attention from a minor incident to seeing his favourite bird. It's your hand squeezing his shoulder a bit before he yells so he has a moment to collect his thoughts. It's your honesty when he's fallen prey to another one of Lilia's tricks.
-----------------
Y'all idk what the fuck this is but I hope you liked it
I'm still on the mend from wisdom teeth removal but I'm alright if anyone was wondering lmao

Twst with Yuu who awkward and stares at them
Warnings; can be seen as either platonic or romantic?
Requests are open!! Don’t worry about much, I do nsfw and sfw content and will have no problem as long as you check my pinned post about fandoms I will do!
Authors note; just needed some non-romantic fics about Twst for once, Duece has more writing bc my brain love this cutie patootie and he is my son
Dorms; HEARTSLABYUL, SAVANACLAW, OCTAVINELLE, SCARABIA, POMEFIORE, IGNIHYDE
Tumblr media
HEARTSLABYUL
• The first time you ever stare at Riddle he looks back at you a few seconds later with a confused expression as you keep staring at him. He would then get slightly more confused and then annoyed and asks you what you are doing, to which you just wander off without saying a word.
• This will confuse Riddle even more as he touches his face to see if anything was on him or in his teeth, he realizes an hour later that you were just staring at him for no reason, this makes him feel.. Happy? Or maybe.. prideful that the chance that you might look up to him..? Yes. This must be the answer! Riddle will ask you tomorrow :D
***
• Trey has noticed that you stare at him from both afar and when you both walk with each other. Of course he doesn’t mind it, in fact, you remind him when Riddle was younger and shy when they first met! What an adorable person you are!
• One time Trey asked you a question and you were so zoned out on him that he waved his hand in-front of you face and you looked super embarrassed and answered his question with a crooked smile as he chuckled at your reaction. Maybe he should call you out on it more often?
***
• Cater Takes pictures with you all of the time! You and him are basically best friends, at least he think so. But he notices that you are always looking at him in the pictures as he reviews the pictures before posting them. What a cutie you are! Looking so cute and squishy in the picture! (Platonic love)
• He would send you a picture that he likes of the two of you and leave a smart as comment saying ‘You look like you looove cay-cay’ and giggle at your response and tease you the next day you see each other!
***
• Ace definitely makes fun of you as he notices it almost immediately when you guys are officially friends. You stare at Ace as if you had a problem with him, so he jokingly asks you if you want to fight him and you just fumble with your words as he has a shit eating grin.
• But one time when you were caught staring at him he teased you a lot until you were almost crying, he had a heart attack as you are one of his best friends! (Mostly because he accidentally almost made you cry infront of RIDDLE), so he never teased you too much after that. (Key word; TOO MUCH)
***
• Deuce didn’t really notice (because he’s a little dumb <33) but when he did it was when he first played with Leona in a practice game for the spell drive after Leona’s overblot. He only notices afterwards because Jack pointed it out to him, and now he can’t help but get confused and nervous when you do it. It’s not your fault! Well, maybe it is..? But he enjoys spending time with you, it’s just it creeps him out a bit, sometimes he can’t help but call you out on it.
• Like one time he was walking with you back to ramshackle dorm and he couldn’t help but notice the way you glanced at him and stared every time, Deuce then gives up and asks you about it. Deuce then apologizes as he sees you try to find your words and you kinda look like a kicked puppy and he starts to panic and say it’s alright and he’ll never bring it up again..! (Spoiler alert; he does it on accident all the time)

Hello! Thank you for reading, love you guys and good morning/afternoon/night

Happy birthday?
Characters: Male reader, Yuu!reader, Trey Clover, Riddle Rosehearts, Cater Diamond, Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade
CW: Fluff, Trey Clover has negative rizz, but we love him anyway
Word count: 1,202
Notes: Hahahahaha, what do you mean this is three days late? Hahahahaha, no, it isn't! HAHAHAHAHA (I'm really trying here, guys.)
---------------------------------------------------
"It isn't even funny anymore." Cater says with a sigh.
"It’s pathetic, really." Ace says while shaking his head.
"I'm honestly embarrassed to call myself his friend right now." Riddle says while rubbing his temples.
"You can't be serious…" Deuce can hardly believe what he's hearing, "Trey STILL hasn't caught onto the Prefect’s feelings?!"
Deuce’s mouth goes wide as the three men shake their heads in disappointment, thoroughly gobsmacked at the raw obliviousness being displayed by his respected upperclassman.
It's almost impressive, in a way, to remain blissfully unaware of another person's romantic feelings for oneself for A MONTH.
The four men have seen it all at this point.
They've seen the Prefect go on shopping trips with Trey, help him in the kitchen, help with setup and cleanup of unbirthday parties and so much more, all while subtly flirting with the vice housewarden in hopes of catching his eye, but with little to no luck.
It had gotten to the point where one would think "Surely, he knows and is just willfully ignoring the other man's advances!"
But no.
After being indirectly questioned by Riddle, it's become exceedingly clear that the supposedly clever and thoughtful vice housewarden of Heartslabyul is simply unaware of the Prefect’s feelings. However, from that same conversation, they also learned that he actually harbors feelings of his own for the other man, but refuses to act on them out of fear of ruining their friendship.
'Great Seven, help these two.' Deuce remembers thinking.
Of course, Cater was quick to take up the mantle of wingman for these poor idiots, meanwhile Ace was quick to set up a betting pool on how long it would take for either the hopelessly dense Trey to catch on or for the hopelessly shy Prefect to actually confess, much to Riddle’s dismay. However, even Cater's counsel has proved ineffective and what was once daily entertainment for the Prefect’s friends has descended into a farce that is genuinely painful to watch.
However, not all hope is lost.
With Trey's birthday on the horizon, unbeknownst to both parties, the group has devised a last ditch effort to allow the two to reconcile their feelings for each other.
The day arrives and with it, the plan is set in motion.
While the main festivities are underway, Deuce works with Ace to set up a romantic dinner at a gazebo in one of the more secluded areas of the hedge maze and waits until the party is winding down to guide the Prefect to said gazebo while Cater and Riddle do the same for Trey from the other direction.
With their objective completed, Deuce and the others leave the two men to talk about their feelings.
Whatever happens next is out of their hands.
—-------------------------------------------------------
With his birthday festivities winding down, Trey can feel the fatigue of the day catching up with him and is planning to leave for his room, despite his disappointment at not being able to see the Prefect off as he’s seemingly left for Ramshackle by now.
However, as he’s turning to leave, he feels two hands on his shoulders.
“Uh-uh-uh, birthday boy! You’re not leaving just yet.” Cater says as Trey turns to see both him and Riddle.
“We have one last surprise for you. So we need you to come with us.” Riddle states matter-of-factly as the two men take him by the arms and lead him into the hedge maze.
"So, are you guys gonna tell me what's going on or…?" Trey asks after a few minutes of walking in silence.
Cater scoffs in response, "It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if we told you, now would it?"
"Don't worry, we're almost there." Riddle says as they round a corner where a trio of familiar voices can be heard.
Trey's eyes widen as he sees the Prefect being pushed around the opposite corner towards him by Ace and Deuce.
The two groups get closer and closer until they stop in front of a gazebo with a table that's laid out with food and several candles that create an almost ethereal atmosphere as the natural light from the sun retreats below the horizon.
"What is this?" Trey asks, slightly taken aback.
"Oh, nothing." Ace says innocently, "We just wanted to give you and the Prefect a nice place to spend some alone time. A little birdy told us you've got A LOT to talk about, after all."
Trey and the Prefect share a look of surprise as they're pushed towards the table as a sign to sit down, which they do, but not before Trey feels a hand on his shoulder again and hears Cater's voice whispering in his ear.
"Do NOT mess this up." Cater warns before the four other men leave them to their dinner.
A few minutes pass in awkward silence as the two men eat their food, not knowing what to talk about despite having 'A LOT to talk about' according to Ace.
Of course, it doesn't help that he's getting distracted by how beautiful the Prefect looks in this lighting.
"Uh, Trey? Is there something on my face?" The Prefect asks, causing Trey to realize that he was staring.
"U-uh, nope! You're fine!" Trey says while awkwardly looking away, hoping that the candlelight will obscure the growing pink on his cheeks.
More awkward silence passes as Trey recalls Cater's words and fights the urge to slam his forehead onto the table because he knows he's messing this up BAD.
That is, until the silence is finally broken by the Prefect sighing and looking into Trey's eyes, "Trey, there's…actually something I wanted to tell you." He says apprehensively.
"Oh, sure. Go ahead." Trey says while returning the eye contact.
"I see you. You know that, right?" The Prefect begins, "I see how much you care and how hard you work everyday to keep everyone happy. I see how seriously you take your baking and I can't help but admire it. I can't help but admire you."
Trey feels his heart flutter in his chest as the Prefect continues.
"But it's not just admiration. Our shopping trips and the time I spend helping you bake are always the highlights of my day and I've realized it's because I've spent that time with you, specifically."
Trey's eyes widen and he feels his face heating up as he realizes where the other man is going with this.
"I…think I want to spend a lot more time with you…because…" The Prefect hesitantly reaches his hand over to Trey's on the table, silently asking for permission, which Trey gives in the form of intertwining their fingers together, spurring the other man on to finish his sentence with a sincere smile, "Trey, I love you."
Trey's heart skips a beat and a soft smile forms on his face upon hearing the words he never thought he would from the other man.
"I love you too, y/n." Trey responds softly, but with his love burning passionately in his chest.
The Prefect then moves his chair so they're side-by-side and leans his face towards Trey's, allowing him to happily close the distance between their lips.
'Best birthday present ever.' Trey thinks to himself.

Cuddle With Me (HLB)
General masterlist here.
Series: Savanaclaw; Octavinelle; Scarabia; Pomefiore; Ignihyde; Diasomnia
Heartslabyul boys reactions when you ask them to cuddle with you in bed.
Tumblr media
Riddle has to take a moment to recover from shock. Cuddle? With him? There weren't any rules against it, but he didn't expect you to ask so suddenly. His blush lingers as he clears his throat to respond.
"As long as it doesn't break any rules, we can do whatever you like."
Trey agrees almost immediately, surprise and concern in his gaze. Did something happen? Were you ok? When you reassure him you were fine, he gives you a smile, taking your hand in his
"Things have been pretty hectic lately, huh? It's good to take a breather every now and then."
Cater doesn't even hesitate, gathering you in his arms with a bright smile. *Click!* You were the one that asked him, yet you had such a cute blush! He had to take the chance for such a rare and cute candid.
"Did you even have to ask? You know I'd always be happy to cuddle."
Deuce almost chokes, his cheeks flushed as he looks at you, wondering if he heard you correctly. When he realizes he did, and that you were serious, he smiles shyly at you. He's nervous, but he wants to make you happy.
"I'll do my best to make it comfortable!"
Ace smirks at you as he teasingly asks you to repeat yourself. He dodges as you try to smack him, chuckling until you let out a huff and turn away. His amusement lingers even as he catches you.
"C'mon, I was just having a bit of fun! You still want to cuddle, don't you?"

“From the First Time that You…”
Prompt - NRC is in upheaval. A video of Yuu singing a song has been circling around the school about her being "bewitched," and everyone is trying to figure out by who. Yuu is embarrassed and upset about her private song being the subject of gossip, so she decides to hide from everyone only for her crush to find her and reveal he has been "bewitched," by her...
Pairings - Heartstyble x F!Yuu
Warnings - Very Shy Yuu, Stagefright (Yuu again), Fluff, Fluff, and More Fluff
Song - “Bewitched” by Laufey
Tumblr media
Prologue - Heartsyble (Here) - Savannaclaw - Octavinelle - Scarabia - Pomefiore - Ignanhyde - Diasmonia
Tumblr media
Riddle couldn't get Yuu's song out of his head. He found himself humming it at random moments in the day. Trey and Cater noticed this as well, and they also knew about Riddle's feelings towards the Ramshackle perfect. After Cater pointed it out at Breakfast, Riddle stopped and shook it off. He tried to ignore the fluttering in hie chest when he heard the lyrics or even though about them, but it didn't work. He confessed this to his friends, and they encouraged Riddle to go to her. To sedate their pestering, he agreed to go later with her work.
He was also more defensive than usual as he heard his classmates gossip about his dear friend. He had collared more students than usual for gambling and breaking the most minuet rules. His dormmates worried that he was slipping back into his old habits after making and trying so hard to change.
At the end of the day, he found himself walking towards Ramshackle. He told himself it was to give her the work she missed, but his heart was pounding in his chest. As he stood outside her door, he stole himself for a moment and dared to hope.
"Yuu... I just want you to know you've bewitched me too..."
When Yuu opened the door, Riddle could see it in her eyes. Relief. Relief and hope for returned affections.
"Really? D-do you mean it?" She said, her notebook clutched to her side. She was just as nervous as he was.
Riddle nodded and said, "Yes, I have for a long time now. I just..." He took a deep breath to steady himself, but never looked away from her eyes, "I didn't want to risk loosing you, but now, if you will have me, I would love to properly court you."
Riddle held out his hand to her, and for a second, he thought he made a mistake, but she broke that tension with a tight hug.
"Yes," she whispered into his ear.
He wrapped his arms around her, and all their tension disappeared. They sunk into each other and nearly fell to the floor. Riddle was able to keep them up, and when they parted, he could see the relief in her eyes. He couldn't help but smile and the beautiful rose who held his heart.
"By the way, you have a gorgeous voice. Like the White Roses of the Queendom courts," He said and cupped her face in his hand, "with the mind of the rhyming hatter."
This made her giggle. He had never seen her shine so bright as she did now. Her laugh made him do something crazy but that is what her spell did to him. He leaned in and kissed her in a sweep of passion.
And of all things, she kissed him back.
He may be the Mage, but she truly was Bewitching.
Weeks later, after building up a lot of courage, she asked, her now boyfriend, Riddle to come over. When he did, she sang him a song he saw in her notebook, a song for the Queen of Hearts from his White Rose: "La Vie En Rose"
Tumblr media
Ace knew the song was about him. From the lyrics to the way she had been acting recently, he just knew! He had to tell her he felt the same. He tried to tell her that night, but Grim and his dormmates said she wanted to be alone. He tried calling and texting her, but received no answer. The next morning, he waited for her like he and the rest of the first years did every morning, but she never came out. He then waited for her in class but she never appeared. He started to worry as all his text and calls were ignored as well as everyone else's.
His mood also soured as he kept hearing his classmates bet and gossip about his friend. He snapped at almost everyone, and his temper was worse than Riddle's. He was so mad that he almost got into a fight at one point with an Octavinelle student who was collecting bets. By the end of the day, after a grueling Basketball practice, Ace had enough. He had to talk to Yuu NOW. He ran out of the Locker room, hair still wet from the shower, and darted to Ramshackle. He made it to the door, out of breath and wet, and the ghost finally let him in. He made it to Yuu's door and paused. What if he was reading this wrong? What if he was betting on feelings that were not there?... well there is no other way to find out.
He knocked on the door and paused, "Yuu. It's Ace. Open up!" He waited for a second, his confidence waining as he poured his heart out, "Please... I... I need to tell you. Your song, I... I don't know if I'm reading this wrong, but I need you to know, you've Bewitched me too..."
Ace was about to leave, thinking maybe his assumptions were wrong, but before he could turn away, the door opened. Yuu looked at him with doe eyes and he knew. She loved him to.
Wet. Exhausted. And Relieved. Yuu and Ace embraced. They stayed like that for a few moments before Yuu muttered.
"Thank you for showering before you came over..."
Ace chuckled at his shy friend turned crush finally breaking out of her shell. A side she reserved for those closest to her and the side that made Ace's heart swell.
"Jamil shoved me in the shower. Since someone has been ignoring my calls and text all day, I nearly ran over sweaty and in uniform." He pulled away to look Yuu in her lovely eyes that scared him all day, "If you ever do something like that again, I will cover you in sweat and not shower for a week."
That made her laugh for the first time all day, "You'll be punishing Heartsyble more than me. Riddle and Deuce may chase you with a hose and soap if you do."
"I'll tell them it's your fault," he said, ruffling her hair, "Then you'll have to deal with my stink!"
Yuu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Fine, Fine, I won't do that again!" When she got the giggles out, she looked at her notebook and said, "I-I just didn't know what to say, I was-am so embarrassed."
"Why? You have a great voice!" He said and his hand moved from her head to her cheek, "I can't believe you've been holding out on us,"
She looked up at him and a blush spread across her cheeks. "I write songs to help figure out my feelings. It felt like everyone was hearing a secret I wasn't ready to tell."
He leaned into her and placed his forehead on top of hers, "Well, when your ready, I can't wait to hear all your hearts secrets, and when you do, I'll tell you mine."
Yuu smiled and placed her hand on his cheek, "One day..."
"One day... but today, I'm happy I get to finally call you mine~" Always One for taking chances, Ace titled his head and kissed her.
After relentless asking and patient waiting on Ace's part, Yuu finally felt ready to sing for him. One night when Ace was sleeping over, Yuu brought out her notebook and opened to a song she wrote about her trickster - "Golden Hour"
Tumblr media
Deuce had been in guard dog mode all day. Anytime someone made a comment about Yuu or her song, he would flip back to his old self. Ace and the other first years had to hold him back from decking two second-year Pomefoire Students debating whether Vil or Epel were the song's subject. It reached the point where Crewel let Deuce leave class early to deliver Yuu her missing work because he "looked like a caged hound about to attack." On his way out, someone said something that got him thinking: "Why's he all worked up? Not like he likes her or something." This got him thinking. As he walked to Ramshackle, he started to think about Why he was so protective beyond she was "just a friend." Whenever he thought about his feelings towards Yuu for more than two seconds, it made his heart pound and head feel light. He described this feeling to his mom to try to understand what was happening, and she asked him if he had a crush. He brushed it off at the time, but now he thought about it seriously. Did he have a crush on Yuu? Did he have feelings for her? Is that why the song made his stomach flutter and cheeks burn? Yuu seemed to blush as much as he did when their hands brushed against each other so it had to be... Oh Sevens. Then suddenly it hit him - He was Bewitched by her and She him and he had to tell her. Before heading over to Ramshackle, he stopped at the botanical gardens and picked some flowers. He remembered his mom saying something about bringing someone flowers when they are sad and people in movies did it enough that it had to be a standard. So with a messy bouquet of flowers in hand, Deuce stood outside Yuu's door. Shaking from nerves. Heart pounding in his ears. and determined to confess his feelings. He knocked on Yuu's door, took a deep breath, and said, "Yuu, I... I don't know if you feel the same but I want you to know. You've bewitched me too..."
It took all of Duece's control not to crush the flowers or shake all the leaves off them. After a few shaky breaths, Yuu opened the door. Neither spoke out of nerves, but they didn't need to. They stared into eachothers eyes and knew.
They both felt the same.
By complete accident and unbeknownst to both.
They had Bewitched each other and fallen in love.
Deuce was captivated by her and was mentally kicking himself for not realizing this earlier. He tried to speak, but his words kept getting caught in his throat. "U-um... ah..."
Yuu looked at the flowers and blush crept onto her face, "a-are those for me?"
Deuce looked down at the poor flowers he was using as a stress ball and nodded ferriously, "Y-yes! For you! I mean aaah..."
He was redder than Riddle on a bad day, but this only made him more endearing to Yuu. She gently took his flowers and brought them to her nose.
She smiled as she smiled them, "Thank you, I needed this..." she looked at him then looked away, "I-I needed you too..."
Deuce didn't know what to say, so he just hugged her. He was incredibly gentle as he wrapped his arms around her and she him. He found it easier to speak when he didn't look directly at her.
"I need you too..." He rested his head atop hers and finally found the words he needed to say, "Yuu, I know I am not the smartest, the best looking, or wealthiest person in the school. There are so many better choices than me... but I... I will give you everything I can. I'll protect you. I'll support you... and I will work ten times harder to be an Honor Student and be worthy enough to stand next to you." His arms tightened around her slightly as if this hug solidified the promise.
"Deuce, you don't need to prove anything or change a single thing about you." She pulls back and places a hand on his cheek and forces Deuce to look into her eyes. "You are incredible already. You're so kind and dedicated. You try your hardest at everything you do and are so earnest. I want to work harder to be more like you..." she gently strokes his cheek with her thumb and smiles at him, "I-I know we both have stuff to work on, but I am willing to work with you and support you... if that's what you want too?"
Deuce was enraptured by her and found himself swept up in emotion and passion. All fear and embarrassment pushed aside - he kissed her.
And to his suprise and delight, she kissed him back. When they separated, all Deuce could do was smile, "I want nothing more!"
For a moment, Deuce didn't feel like an awkward ex-delinquent pretending to be an honor student. He felt like a Card Knight with the Queens Singing Flower in his arms.
Deuce respected Yuu's privacy and was overjoyed with any bits Yuu was willing to share. And the more they spend time together, the more comfortable Yuu was sharing her songs with Deuce. Then, one evening, while relaxing in Ramshackle, Yuu was perusing her notebook, showing Deuce some of the songs. When they crossed one song, as he read the lyrics, she started to sing for her Spade Knight - "What Love Will Do to You"
Tumblr media
Trey hated confronting his own feelings, but Yuu's song made him do just that. He usually baked to clear his head, but he had to get through a day of classes first. Every time he heard Yuu's name or mention of her song and it's subject, Trey's heart panged with a hollow feeling, and his patients was tested. And by the time clubs rolled around it nearly broke. At the beginning of the club meeting, a few of his clubmates were discussing one of the many betting pots and he heard his name thrown around.
"... you see the way he treats her, it has to be Trey!" One of the Heartsyble students in his year said.
"Eeeh, I think it's more brotherly than romantic. Besides why would she pick Trey when she has literal Princes interested in her? He's just a Baker." A Scarbia student remarked.
Just a Baker.... Just a Baker... why dose that hurt so much?
"-Clover! Watch what you're doing!" Rook took the beaker out of Trey's hand and pulled him away from the caldron before it spewed yellow smoke that smelled like rotten milk. Trey snapped out of it and didn't even register that Rook called him his actual last name.
"Sevens, Thanks Rook." Trey pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "I don't know what came over me..."
"Rose Chevalier, why don't you retire early?" Rook suggested, "You are suffering from La maladie d'amour,"
Trey shook his head and nodded, "Thanks Rook..."
Taking Rook's advice, Trey left club early. He went straight to the Heartsyble kitchen and began to do what he did best, bake. As he rolled out dough and mixed strawberry filling, he began to think about Yuu. He has had feelings for her since Riddle's overblot, but pushed them aside for the sake of their friendship... and out of fear. Despite how angry it made him, his clubmate was right. He was just a Baker. Not a Prince or a Model. A simple Baker... but he loved her, and that had to mean something. As the tart baked, Trey listed to the song once more. Her voice was truly angelic... it reminded him of the Singing Flowers of the Queendom Court. But the closer he listened, the more his heart swelled. By the end of the end of the song, he decided to at least go check on her... and tell her his feelings.
Now Trey found himself outside her door, and his heart was pounding again, only this time it was with anticipation.
He took a deep breath and let his heart speak for once, "I don't know if you feel the same, but I need to confess... you've Bewitched me too..."
After a few moments, Trey felt his heart deflate. He kneeled down to leave the tart at the door, but it opened before he could place it. He looked up and saw Yuu in all her glory. Despite being in her pajamas and exhausted in more ways than one... she was beautiful.
He stood up and tried to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
She looked up at him and asked, "Do you mean it?"
Trey nodded and smiled, "I do... I've had feelings for you for a while now. I just didn't say anything since I'm well... just a Baker." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at the tart he made, "I thought I'd be okay with just being your friend, but after hearing your song... well I guess you can tell."
Trey stared at the tart, too scared to look into her eyes. Then he felt a hand on his cheek and dared to look. Her eyes sparkled, and she was smiling.
"You're more than a Baker... your sweet, have the paitents of a saint, are an incredible scientist and mage... your Trey." She stroked his cheek with her thumb as she spoke, "and I can't get you out of my head... but I was too scared to tell you yet," now she looked down and he could see the worry steep into her brow, "but I guess everyone knows now..."
He stepped inside, put the tart on the dresser, then pulled Yuu into a hug. "I'm sorry... but for the record, you have a beautiful voice."
Yuu buried her head in his chest and he stroked her hair. "...thanks..." she muttered into his chest and he could feel her smiled.
"And just a heads up, Cater is going to try and recruit you for the Pop Music Club," He swayed as they talked.
"Yeah, he has been texting me all day," she turned her head so she was listening to his heart. "I can't, though... anytime I try to sing in front of people... I freeze and feel like I'm about to vomit."
Trey rubbed her back and said, "I'll tell him if you want, I'm sure he'll understand. The real problem will be getting Kalim to back off."
Yuu chuckled and shook her head, "I have no clue where to start... he's so... Kalim."
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll understand," Trey closed his eyes and basket in her warmth. They swayed to non-music and enjoyed the moment.
Eventually, Yuu's stomach rumbled, and she buried her head in his chest again. Trey leaned back and used one of his hands to lift her chin up to look at him, "Im guessing you didn't eat dinner yet?"
Yuu shook her head and said, "No... actually, i dont remember when I ate last.."
"Well, let's go down to the kitchen and fix that..." He didn't move from the position, and neither did she. He looked into her lips and decided to do one more thing He has wanted to do for a long, long time.
He leaned in and kissed her. It was a gentle kiss but held so much unspoken emotion. When they parted, they both smiled.
He may be just a Baker, but he was the luckiest baker in the world, for he had the most beautiful flower in the world right in his arms.
Trey understood Yuu's insecurities, so he never pushed her to sing and was content looking at the notebook when she was comfortable. But one day, while Trey and Yuu were waiting for cookies to finish baking, Yuu started to sing one of her songs to her beloved Baker - "Sweet Nothing"
Tumblr media
Cater knew Yuu was special from the moment he met her, but he never expected THAT. When Cater saw Grim post a video of Yuu SINGING... he the flood gates opened. He knew she was super shy and knew from the way the video was filmed, that this was done without her knowing. He texted Yuu to try and check in on her, but the betting comments started immediately. That night and the next day, he spent trying to trim the comments and keep them positive. He knew the pressures of social media far too well and wanted to keep her away from it if he could. While he played media knight, he saw many comments about him and Yuu. Some of the second years and heartstyble students were defending the song being about him, and some of them had decent arguments, but others simply pointed out his gaping flaws...
These comments haunted him all during class and into the club meetings. His facade faltered quiet a bit that day and he didn't notice till Lilia approached him and poked his forehead. Both of his clubmates knew about Cater's crush, it was easy to see once you knew what to look for. The fact that KALIM noticed these tells was very telling. What really broke the ice was when Kalim let it slip that he knew Yuu had a crush on Cater.
"... what if she rejects me and it makes everything weird? I can't risk that." Cater Repeated.
"But she WONT!" Kalim emphasized.
"How do you know that?" Cater bit back, his agitation getting the best of him, "This could break everything, I-"
"BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME CATER!!!" Kalim exclaimed then covered his mouth. "Sevens I said too much." He looked like a puppy that knew it did something wrong... which ment he was telling the truth.
"S-she what?" Cater said softly.
Kalim slouched his shoulders and said, "No point in hiding it... Yuu has a crush on you. She told me and Jamil on accident when I took her shopping two weeks ago and made us promise not to tell!"
Upon that admission, Cater ran to Ramshackle, leaving Kalim to Lilia, who made popcorn and thanked the boy for some quality entertainment.
It started to rain as he ran to Ramshackle. His heart pounding and resolve strong. If she liked him back then, what was he waiting for? She was the one person who looked behind the masked and accepted him! When he has a bad day, she would bring him a sandwich cut in cute shapes. Make him put his phone down and enjoy a view. Reminded him that he didn't have to be Cay-Cay all the time, but Cater.
By the time he made it to Yuu's door, he was soaked. He knocked on the door and asked Yuu if she was alright. When she didn't answer, he hesitated for a moment but decided to be brave for once and not shrivel back to his phone.
"Yuu, I need you to know... I don't know if you meant this but... I'm bewitched by you too."
When Yuu opened the door, instead of the Cay-Cay on magicam who sheilded his heart behind a diamond smile, she saw Cater, a scared boy who let down his guard and placed his heart on his sleeve.
Cold water dripped down his face and he was very disheveled. But he looked at her with such warmth. When she saw him, her eyes widened when she saw him.
"Cater! You're soaked!" Yuu fretted over him, taking his hand and pulling him inside. "Take your blazer off. You'll catch a cold!" She pulled him in front of the fireplace and had him sit on the rug. She lit the fire with a match and grabbed a few towels. Cater took his blazer off and watched as she wrapped a towel around his shoulders. He smiled at her as she took a smaller towel and dried his hair. He came to help her and her she was caring for him. She whipped the diamond off his cheek and he took the opportunity to place his hand over hers. She looked into his eyes and gently stroked his cheek.
"Do you mean it?" She asked, her voice trembling and earnest. "You... you feel the same?"
Cater nodded and gave her a soft, genuine smile, "Yeah, for a while now, actually." He leaned into her touch, "But I was scared you didn't feel the same."
Yuu chuckled a bit and said, "Same here... I didn't want to lose you by making things weird."
"Well, you haven't... if anything, this is feels more like a dream come true than reality." He chuckled and reached out to stroke her hair.
"What if it is?" Yuu asked tentatively.
She looked ethereal, the fire illuminating her silhouette. He decided to do one more brave thing today. She was worth it. "Well, there is one way to find out."
Cater leaned in tenitivly to Yuu, his heart pounding in his ears, and he felt like the White Rabbit, fearing what was to come. Before him was the most beautiful flower, and this was his chance to be with her. The Card Soldier pressed his lips to the White Rose's, giving her a delicate kiss that ensured them both this wasn't a dream. This was real. He loved her, and she loved him. And that is all they needed.
When they separated, Yuu smiled. Cater pulled her into his lap and held her close. As the rain tapped on the windows outside, two lovers embraced by the fireside.
Cater understood stagefright and never pressured Yuu to sing, nor did he ever post anything about their relationship or her on his account without her permission. But he did invite her to every pop music club meeting and event. He was her protector from the nosy Magicam monsters who tried to pressure her or pry into her life. He was her personal Card Soldier. Weeks later, after one of these meetings, Cater and Yuu stayed behind to clean up since Lilia and Kalim had to leave early. As they cleaned up, Yuu picked up a gautair and started to strum mindlessly. Then she began to sing for her Diamond Knight - "Lucky for Me"

Your heart is pounding and it can't be stopped
The red queen is dead! Unfortunately, her Overblot is an even more fearsome foe.
(Twst au where Overblots are apocalyptic events)
Riddle Rosehearts was dead.
Yuko had not seen the body, but she knew this to be true.
Would there even be a body? What had Crowley once told them about Overblots? They would drain the Host of power, like a soda can that would inevitably be discarded. Does that mean that the body would be tossed aside, that maybe one day they could go back and bury the poor boy? Would it simply disappear the moment there was no more mana, nothing left of the boy except for a rampaging monster? Or would the body stay there, attached to the front of it, until it decayed naturally?
Did it even matter, anymore?
A high scream met their ears.
They didn’t stop to let themselves wonder whether they recognized the voice.
Her breathing came in short, aborted gasps. Deuce’s hand, wrapped around her own, was gripping her so tightly that it was starting to hurt. Blot hung heavy in the air, thick blobs of inky blackness threatening to choke them. Her feet stumbled over cobbled streets. Ace’s collar glinted in the red-tinted sun as he struggled to tug it over his head with a newfound fervor. The trees creaked and groaned as they were ripped out of the ground one by one by the queen on a hunt. Flames spilled from Grim’s mouth as he followed at their heels, painting the world behind them in flames in hopes of slowing it. People cried out as they were found. First in surprise, then terror, then anguish and then pain and then –.
Their little group of four stumbled through the mirror.
It was as if they had stepped into another world.
The ripping, tearing sounds they had been listening to for the better part of an hour came to a halt all at once. No one was running, no one was screaming. Their peers sent their group strange looks, all hopelessly unaware of the monster that was now in their midst.
For just a moment, their group of four lingered there, a heap of teens, breathing heavy in a way that was either just regular overexertion or the beginnings of a panic attack. So shaken by the sudden change they almost forgot what was going on in the sheer strangeness of it all.
“You guys look like you’ve seen a ghost,” a Savanaclaw second-year student commented, teasing.
“No,” Ace said, his laugh bordering on manic as it spilled from his lips. “Those are in Ramshackle, not Heartslabyul, idiot!”
Yuko wanted to join him. Laughing seemed like much more fun than whatever it was she was doing, planning and trying to figure out a way to defeat a monster that was so much more powerful than she could even dream to be.
Then she glanced back, at the mirror.
Cater held his hands up, yelling something that was inaudible to those not in the Heartslabyul pocket dimension, winking at something they couldn’t see.
A tree speared him through the chest. He choked on his usual smile. He coughed, blood speckling the untainted trunk in front of him.
The clone dissolved into nothing.
A distraction, perhaps, so people could run to find safer places to hide for the moment.
She had the sinking feeling that the plan was actually to lead the Overblot to the mirror. That he wanted to use the rest of the school as bait, just so he could live.
She turned to the innocent bystanders.
“Rosehearts-senpai has Overblotted,” she said, her voice surprisingly calm despite the way her heart thudded in her chest in time to the deceptively cheery kids song that was Painting the roses red.“He is coming. Believe me. Or don't, I couldn't care less. But we all need to run.”
It wasn’t hard to believe her.
The Overblot approached the place where the clone had fallen, the ink sloshing over the top of its jar with every lumbering step, painting the cobbled stone path black. It knelt to scoop up the tree, gently cradling it in its fingers for a moment. Blood rubbed off on its white gloves.
Dully, Yuko thought that, at least, Riddle’s ghost could at least be glad that those damn roses were finally red.
It turned to look at them them. Without a Riddle hanging on the front, screaming and crying, it was strangely eerie, to look at a faceless being, and yet know that its eyes are locked solely on you.
With intent.
It hefted the tree in its hand, preparing to throw it.
They didn’t wait to see whether or not the tree would be able to make it through the mirror.
Shoes skidded on tile as they took off running again.
People scrambled in every direction. Towards the safety of their own dorms. Trying to find a way out. A place to hide. Anything that might save them. The more they spread out, the more of them that would survive. They knew this all intrinsically.
They also knew that those who got caught would die alone.
“Okay, okay, okay,” Ace said, leading their group through the halls with ease. Despite how little time they had spent at the school so far, he knew the layout like the back of his hand. “We need to get out of here.”
“Come up with that plan on your own?” Deuce snarked.
“I’m fucking sorry do you have a better one?”
Yuko groaned. “Not the time, guys.”
They grumbled and fell silent, instead focusing on getting out the doors.
Crowds of people, heading about their days like normal, seemed confused by the group of teens that were set on getting out of the building without paying any mind to the people they might end up trampling along the way. Maybe they thought they were running from Riddle’s punishments. They wouldn’t be entirely wrong, if that was what they were guessing, but they didn’t know the full extent of things.
She should tell them the full extent.
Ace met her eyes and, briefly, in a motion so small it was almost lost in the steady bounce of pounding footsteps, shook his head.
Her voice died in her throat.
They both knew that the more people the Overblot encountered, the more it would be distracted from chasing them. That the more people they warned, the harder it would be to push through crowds, to stick together, to get away and be sure that everyone else had escaped, too.
They stepped out onto the grounds without uttering a word of warning.
Mud squished beneath their feet as they ran. It had rained earlier that morning, but now the sky was sunny. Deceptively, it was a nice day out. It felt wrong.
It was hot. The sun beat down on them relentlessly.
They were out in the open.
Others rushed into the woods, hoping to find comfort and safety with the trees as cover, but they had forgotten the dangerous wildlife and poisonous and venomous plants that would prove to be just as fatal as the Overblot. No, they had to leave, that was the only chance they had of making it out of this alive.
It would just require them running across an open field in broad daylight. It wasn’t a short sprint, either.
In the back of their minds, they knew that their school was on an island, so they probably wouldn’t be able to get away in the long run even if they did, by some stroke of luck, make it off campus. But they didn’t care. They just wanted more time.
Time they didn’t seem to have.
“AaaaAaaaCe TrrrRaaaappolA!” the creature roared from somewhere within the castle. Blot spilled from a tower window, which was helpful for trying to figure out where it had gone, but unsettling in that it was heading up the Astronomy tower, a place with an open roof and a view of the entire campus grounds. It was getting the high ground, trying to spot them. Even when lost to the blot, nothing that was formed from Riddle Rosehearts could be entirely stupid.
They were going to be found.
Ace turned a few shades more pale.
“What do you guys think are the chances we all misheard that?” he tried.
“Nonexistent,” said Grim.
Ace gave another laugh. It was bitter, unsettling, making the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. It was at this very moment that she remembered that the Queen of Roses was said to be a tyrant, yes, but that her subjects were also said to be mad.
She grabbed his hand, pulling him to a stop, and he looked at her with wide, imploring eyes.
Their friends slowed as well, though they looked no happier.
“We can’t, we can’t stop,” Grim said. As a fire monster, he couldn’t cry, but it sounded like he was getting as close to it as was possible for him.
She ignored him. She knelt and grabbed two handfuls of mud, and then dumped them over Ace’s head.
He shrieked, indignant and disgusted as brown ran down the back of his neck, seeping under his collar. “Wh – what are you –?”
“Hair’s recognizable. Need to cover it.”
His eyes widened and he practically dove into the ground, rolling in the mud. Dirtying his hair and collar. If there was one thing she could respect about the boy, it was that he was surprisingly quick on the uptake, when he wanted to be.
Next, she shoved brown into Deuce’s hands.
“Do you even know what mud is –?” he started to ask.
“No, and I couldn’t care less.”
He grimaced, but started combing his fingers through his hair to dye it.
She briefly pressed her hands to the back of her own neck, allowing the excess, cool mud to bring her down before she could overheat.
That dealt with, she knelt beside Grim, who was shaking like a leaf despite the heat and exhaustion. Carefully, she ran her fingers through his fur. He complained about the mud, but ultimately leaned into her touch regardless.
She pressed a kiss to the top of her familiar’s head.
He leapt into her arms, and she shouldn’t have had enough strength to carry him, and yet she did. The monster looped his arms around her neck, hugging her close, and he half-sobbed into her shoulder.
“We’ll make it out of this,” she promised. “And we’ll tell everyone that you, the Great Lord Grim defeated the nasty Overblot, and you’ll be the greatest mage in the world at age, like, one and a half.”
Grim, for once, didn’t take the opportunity to spout off about his greatness.
He trembled in her arms.
She thought he was falling apart at the seams.
She thought she felt the same.
But she didn’t have time for any of that. She was the smart one, the one who had figured out what to do at the mines, and she would figure out what to do here, too. Her parents had named her Yuko – helpful child – and she was going to help her friends get out of this damned school. And then she was going to figure out how to make a portal back to her own world, and drag these three idiots along with her so they wouldn’t have to experience anything as dangerous as this ever again.
It was what they deserved.
(It was a pipe dream and she knew it.)
Only once they got what they deserved would she allow herself to finally break down.
For now, she had problems to solve.
Eventually, finally, the pair of mages she called her friends were entirely average-looking, unrecognizable.
Just in time, too, because the Overblot finally reached the top of the Astronomy tower. It stood upon the precipice, leaning over, spilling black down the sides.
Yuko covered Grim with her school uniform jacket, hiding his flaming ears and electric blue eyes from view.
The Overblot peered over the grounds. For a moment, its gaze landed on them.
It continued on.
It didn’t find what it was looking for.
It screamed, frustrated, and leapt directly from the tower. The ground, already unsteady and muddy beneath their feet, shook.
It paid their shouts of surprise (and horror as it sunk in just how large the thing was) no mind. Instead, it turned and ran into the forest, bowling over trees as it went.
For just a moment, none of them even dared to breathe.
They looked at each other, wondering if they had all imagined it. Whether the stress had broken their minds already.
Surely, they couldn’t actually be escaping.
Deuce grinned widely, too widely, it didn’t fit his face at all.
He grabbed her by the shoulder and jerked her to her feet, pulling her back into a run. Grim curled tighter in her arms, trying to make himself more aerodynamic since they were not risking stopping even if just for a few seconds so she could put him down. Ace followed after them, hot on their heels.
The gates came into view.
A breathless laugh escaped her. She almost couldn’t believe it.
She shouldn’t have.
They couldn’t even get within three meters of the gates.
A forcefield no one had ever noticed before – no one had ever been this desperate to leave before – glimmered purple as they bounced off of it, the four of them tumbling back into the grass.
It was deathly silent.
They were… stuck.
In here.
With the monster that was actively calling for one of their heads.
They rushed forward, fists pounding against the forcefield, desperate wails spilling from their throats, begging that somehow someone would pass by and hear and be able to help.
No one came.
Yuko sunk to her knees.
“We’re doomed,” she breathed.
“No. Nonono! Yuko, don’t say that! You have to have a plan!” Deuce almost begged. “You always have a plan.”
She stared at the wrought iron in front of her. At the trees they could see through the bars, at the safety that was so close and yet so far.
“I – I don’t know.”

>> Riddle Rosehearts:
Prezados líderes de dormitório de Ramshackle,
Espero que esta carta os encontre bem. Melhor do que estiveram na última temporada de férias, ao menos.
Recentemente estive procurando por algo interessante a se fazer neste feriado. Convencer minha mãe a visitar outros lugares fora de nossa cidade está provando ser uma tarefa particularmente difícil. Sempre foi. Voltar para casa nunca me entusiasmou muito desde que fui aceito em NRC. Nada mudou aqui, os arredores se parecem os mesmos desde minha infância, um tanto entediante para mim, mas talvez venha a ser interessante para um visitante de outro mundo. Te convidaria para passar a tarde em casa, mas receio que ainda me levaria alguns anos para estabelecer a mínima ordem necessária para isso nestas condições.
Não é minha intenção te aprofundar no tópico de como andei lidando com minhas consequências pessoais pós overblot, resumidamente, é complicado. Mas percebi algumas pequenas mudanças para o lado positivo, em minha opinião. Passei a sair de casa "em segredo" de certa maneira. Normalmente digo que tenho afazeres pela cidade, mas cá entre nós? Uso a maior parte deste tempo para vagar sem rumo pelas ruas que nunca fui autorizado a explorar, estas normalmente seriam porque estavam cheias de confeitarias e lojas que certamente me chamariam a atenção quando criança. Me esqueceria admirado as vitrines, "perderia tempo" em outras palavras. Mas agora tenho todo o tempo do mundo a perder, então não me preocupo.
Che'nya também voltou para casa, estivemos nos encontrando com frequência, colocando assunto em dia depois de tanto tempo distantes. Foi em um destes encontros que passamos por uma loja de acessórios local, e um dos alfinetes de lapela na vitrine me chamou a atenção. Irei o acrescentar junto à carta, você pode notar que o design do pin é semelhante às cartolas vestidas pelos fantasmas de Ramshackle. Eu mesmo normalmente utilizo estes acessórios para enfeitar a gravata do uniforme. A estilização fica por sua conta. Pensei em comprar um para o colar do Grim também, mas tenho o pressentimento de que aquele gato vá o engolir em algum momento. Trarei biscoitos para compensar, assim que as aulas voltarem. Pergunte a ele se tem preferência, as confeitarias locais se especializam nos com confeitos de morango... mas também temos torta de limão, mirtilo, frutas amarelas...
Pensando bem, sua visita para casa não precisa esperar tanto, apesar do que disse no começo da carta. Tenho que te mostrar os doces que eu e Che'nya andamos experimentando. Se entrarmos em encrenca por conta disso, deixe que eu resolva. Acho que ter você por perto é mais importante do que consequências pequenas e insignificantes. Eu as entendo melhor agora.
Com os melhores cumprimentos,
Riddle Rosehearts ♕
>> Trey Clover:
Certo, tentativa número... 5? Já perdi a conta pra ser sincero
Tudo bem? Sou eu. Estive pensando por tanto tempo no que escrever nesse pedaço de papel, e acabei gastando a maior parte da minha tarde enfurnado no quarto, me perguntando de que jeitos poderia convir meus pensamentos numa carta para você, de um jeito que não soasse... estúpido? Cafona, talvez? Mas depois de um tempo percebi que essa meio que é a natureza de escrever uma carta, sem ofensas à quem normalmente as escreve, claro.
De qualquer maneira, deveria te contar o que anda acontecendo comigo recentemente. Achei que nessas férias ficaria ajudando na confeitaria da família, como sempre. Gosto de passar meu tempo lá, o cenário da cidade, o ambiente e tudo mais- me deixam calmo, e ignore se soar clichê, mas é provavelmente meu lugar favorito nesse mundo. Você acredita que os clientes regulares da minha infância ainda frequentam nosso estabelecimento? Toda semana praticamente, suponho que para manter o bom e velho sentimento de nostalgia, e não os culpo.
Mas é... acabou que nesse período de férias fechamos a loja um pouco mais cedo que o esperado. Minha família decidiu fazer uma viajem de 3 horas de carro até uma certa cidade turística, para comemorar meu terceiro ano em NRC, por algum motivo, eles consideram este uma época muito importante pra minha formação acadêmica. Não é como se fosse parar de estudar depois do terceiro ano, mas quem sou eu para contestar? Talvez eles só tenham uma superstição com o número 3, vai saber. Atualmente, estou escrevendo do meu quarto da pousada, enquanto meus pais andam pela cidade, procurando por um restaurante chique ou algo assim. Eu mesmo tive a liberdade de explorar algumas lojas próximas sozinho, e acabei te comprando algo também.
Uma caneta tinteiro, parecida com as que o colégio fornece para os alunos. Pensei que seria legal ter uma própria, considerando que o diretor não tenha te presenteado uma até hoje. E mesmo que não consiga usar mágica, o cristal desta é só de decoração, e até que é mais bonitinha, comparada com as de NRC, não acha? Os vendedores disseram que os detalhes em torno da joia foram feitas à mão, então tecnicamente é um modelo único, e acho que esse fator se encaixa com suas circunstâncias– quero dizer...
Desculpe se isso soou ruim. Eu só gostaria que o colégio te incluísse mais nesse quesito, se é que me entende. Sendo você e Grim os únicos alunos vivendo em Ramshackle, os únicos sem uniformes oficiais... vocês dois não deixam de pertencer a NRC assim como todos os outros. Se ter uma caneta tinteiro em sua lista de materiais escolares ajudar, então estou disposto a procurar por uma para você.
Agora entende porque re-escrevi essa carta cinco vezes? Eu avisei. Cafona. Enfim, não se sinta em obrigação de usar a caneta. Espero que suas férias em Ramshackle estejam te tratando bem.
Atenciosamente,
Trey Clover ♧
>> Cater Diamond:
Oi oiii !!! Tudo bem aí?
Juro, de vez em quando começo a pensar sobre o que será de mim depois que me formar em NRC- não por preocupação do meu futuro profissional, não não, mais por conta de o que será da minha caligrafia quando me vier a oportunidade de nunca mais precisar usar um caderno. A única razão da minha letra não estar horrível aqui agora é graças ao professor Trein, que não para de escrever coisa na lousa, e que não admite nenhuma foto dela se quer, caso não dê tempo de copiar. A qualquer oportunidade eu trocaria folhas de papel por digitar tudo no celular, de verdade!
Mas então você deve estar se perguntando. "Cater, desde que você entrou de férias não recebi nenhuma mensagem sua. Tá morto, é???" Pois não, não estou morto ainda. Na verdade, queria bolar algo mais complexo e trabalhoso do que updates diários rápidos do que anda acontecendo por aqui. Uns dias atrás vi no magicam algumas pessoas começando a escrever mais cartas, e nelas botarem decorações e presentinhos para enviar aos amigos que estão longe. Isso é uma idéia muito mais legal, né? Vou inclusive tentar desenhar uns enfeites aqui e ali nesse cartão, e depois você me fala se preciso de algumas aulas de desenho
Agora, por onde começar... ah, verdade! Eu e minhas irmãs estamos nos hospedando em um hotel dentro de um parque temático já faz alguns dias. To me segurando pra não postar online, estava pensando em imprimir tudo e montar um álbum super fofinho! E só depois postaria, aí sim. Também quero que seja a primeira pessoa a ver minha criação! Se eu pudesse, voltaria pra NRC agora, só pra te buscar, para que você visse o parque fisicamente.... Já te disse que seria um bom sujeito à modelo nas minhas fotos? E sem falar que preciso de uma assistência pra essas sessões, já que minhas irmãs não ajudam em nada.
Um saco, mas fazer o quê. Ando me divertindo muito em geral, mas mesmo com a companhia da minha família, ainda sinto falta de ter amigos por perto.
Já sei! Próxima vez convencemos nosso grupo de Heartslabyul para viajarmos todos juntos! Eu nunca viajei só com amigos, uma companhia assim seria muito mais legal, né? Por favorzinho, me ajuda a convencer o Riddle??? Se ele topar, com certeza vai dar certo! Tem tanta coisa pra fazer aqui, você acha que o pessoal vai gostar das montanhas-russas? Ou dos shows... ou dos restaurantes... ou das barracas de prêmios....
Por falar nisso, vou mandar junto com o pacote uma pelúcia que ganhei em um dos mini jogos- foi tão difícil de conseguir, mas olha só pra ele. Eu simplesmente TINHA que te mostrar. Parece o Grim, né? Muito engraçadinho. Espero que cuide bem desse bichinho, só não deixa o Grim de verdade desenvolver ciúmes dessa pelúcia. Ele tem cara de quem faria isso.
Não tenho certeza de como encerrar cartas, já que não estou acostumado, mas te mando beijinhos daqui, mwah mwah,
Cater Diamond ◇
>> Ace Trappola:
E aí? Espero que esteja bem.
Sabe, na última vez que entramos de férias e nosso grupo acabou se separando temporariamente, tudo deu errado. Muito errado. Dessa vez tenho absoluta certeza que nada similar vai acontecer. Maaaaas se de repente você e Grim se virem presos em Scarabia de novo, estou te enviando essa cartinha pra te fazer companhia entre esses tempos tão caóticos. Fofo, né? De nada.
Mensagem de texto não é a mesma coisa. Não dá pra colocar seu coração em um zap e esperar que ele convenha seus sentimentos da mesma maneira que uma carta. Oh, acho que posso apostar em carreira de poeta e deixar o Rook comendo poeira. Que divertido, acho que devo escrever mais frequentemente.
Enfim. Meu pai, meu irmão e eu reservamos um hotel bem legal para nos hospedar por uma semana. Fica em uma cidade histórica, aqui no continente. É um lugar bem interessante, com um passado conectado com a realeza de antigamente. É... é bem velho. Cheio de museus, palácios e jardins. Pra deixar claro, não fui eu que escolhi esse lugar pra visitar. Nunca faria isso. Nunca!
Bem quando eu achava que teria uma folga de Heartslabyul. Eu olho pro labirinto dos jardins daqui e lembro que deixei de pintar as rosas um dia antes de entrar em férias (ninguém percebeu ainda, acho.), então olho pro outro lado e adivinha o que eu encontro? Uma guilhotina em exibição. Os flashbacks! São horríveis! Consigo até ouvir o líder de dormitório me repreendendo daqui. Meu passado não me deixa só....
Brincadeira, to sendo dramático. Pelo menos temos bons cafés e restaurantes, mas não vou te enviar esse meu pedaço delicioso de torta de cereja via correio, nem se fosse possível.
Porém.... Me sinto tão generoso hoje, que resolvi pagar com minha própria mesada um presentinho pra você, diretamente daqui, cidade assustadora de guilhotinas™
Viu? É um chaveirinho! Em formato de torta! É a especialidade local, essa sobremesa.
É o máximo que caberia no envelope, e... (ahEM!) o máximo que consegui pagar já que gastei o resto da mesada com outras coisas (ahHEM!) Espero que se lembre de mim sempre que olhar para meu presente, e espero que carregue ele para todos os lados. Use pra enfeitar sua mochila ou algo assim, tanto faz.
Nos vemos logo,
Ace Trappola ♡
>> Deuce Spade:
Olá, como está indo Ramshackle?
Espero que Grim e os fantasmas não estejam dando muito trabalho. Não acho justo que você tenha que ficar cuidando do dormitório enquanto todos nós ficamos de folga... Mas por outro lado, deve ser uma experiência interessante. O colégio inteiro, praticamente vazio só para você! Eu nem sei o que faria numa situação dessas... talvez pegar emprestado uma vassoura mágica e sair voando por aí? Ah, espera- isso com certeza vai acabar num problema dos grandes. Esquece o que eu disse. Foi só a primeira coisa que me veio em mente.
Estou passando meu tempo na casa de uns primos distantes. Faz tanto tempo que não os vejo! Quase não me reconheceram com meu cabelo da cor natural hahaha- todos nós mudamos bastante.
Além de apontarem como meus modos estão diferentes comparado à minha fase rebelde, muitos familiares também disseram que eu parecia mais alegre. Acho que a mudança se deve por passar tanto tempo ao seu lado. Posso até me encontrar entre alvoroços graças ao nosso grupo, mas por algum motivo me sinto confortável mesmo assim. Entre todo esse caos há uma paz que não sei explicar com palavras. Isso faz sentido? Provavelmente não.
Até quando você ficará? Digo, no nosso mundo. Se houver mais um período de férias, gostaria que viesse comigo. Junto de Grim e Ace, é claro. Minha mãe não vê a hora de conhecê-los. É, é meio vergonhoso admitir em voz alta, mas se isso for razão suficiente pra fazer você ficar só por mais um tempinho, acho que vale a pena.
Não era minha intenção que isso se tornasse sentimental, desculpe! Queria tanto te escrever algo de valor... é tudo que consegui pensar. Mas voltando ao assunto anterior, minha mãe anda fazendo uns bordados bem legais, e eu to meio que aprendendo com ela alguns truques (já furei meus dedos algumas boas vezes à propósito) assim como ela aprendeu da minha vó. Então decidi te mandar junto dessa carta um dos lenços bordados por mim. AH, e não é daqueles estranhos não- do tipo que avós fazem pra vestir o filtro de água na cozinha, cheio de renda- quer dizer, eu meio que estou aprendendo POR CAUSA da minha avó de qualquer jeito, mas... não é brega, nem nada assim! Eu até botei os símbolos de heartslabyul, viu? Eu achei bonitinho......
Droga, quanto mais eu justifico mais alto consigo escutar as risadas de Grim e Ace à distância... Não conta pra eles por favor, vão me zuar pro resto do ano.
Até breve,
Deuce Spade ♤

Headcanons of them walking in on you (for a friend)
Summary: You are about to get ready for bed time when suddenly, somebody walks in on you while you are changing!
Pairing: GN! Reader x Trey Clover x Cater Diamond x Malleus Draconia x Ace Ace Trappola x Vil Schoenheit x Rook Hunt (seperately)
A/N: hey, hey, hey! Ur (un)fav author is here with another masterpiece and bought to you by the request of a friend! Also, English isn’t my first language, so there will be some mistakes in spelling and word meaning.
Trey Clover:
-Just cooked for fun with Trey (because why not?).
-When getting ready for bed and changing into your PJ’s, Trey walked in, unannounced.
-You just covered yourself with your hands.
-”Oh, sorry. Should’ve knocked in!” Trey said in embarassment.
-A few moments later, you let him in.
-Turns out, he wanted to give you a delicious tart just for you.
Cater Diamond:
-Had a loooooong day today.
-You rewarded yourself with a nice warm bath.
-After that, you changed into your PJ’s when Cater suddenly walks in.
-You covered yourself with your bare hands.
-He took a pic of you and then left.
-”CATER!” You shouted, but you can’t really do anything since your naked. So you let him go.
Malleus Draconia:
-You were just hanging out with him.
-He wanted to spend a lil’ more time with you, so he asked if he could stay at your dorm tonight and you agreed.
-He was talking with Grim and the ghosts downstairs, and you were taking a bath.
-You forgot to lock the door to your room.
-Malleus walked in. And walked away when he saw you about to uncover yourself.
Ace Trappola:
-You both were having a sleepover (with Deuce and Grim ofc).
-He got here first, but you wanted to smell more pleasent, so you took a bath.
-When you were about to uncover yourself after getting a bath, Ace walked in.
-He just said “ew” and gagged.
Vil Schoenheit:
-You had just gotten back from some new year party.
-You decided to spend the night at your boyfriend’s.
-As you were stripping yourself, Vil opened the bathroom door and saw you naked.
-”Well, i thought i could have a relaxing bath alone, but i guess a couple in a bathtub isn’t a burden to you, hm?”
Rook Hunt:
-Basically the same as Vil except he fucks you more sooner.

Hiii, this is my 2nd time requesting something and that request being: Can you make MC in Twisted Wonderland someone that’s really really energetic, like they talk really fast, and people can barely understand them when they’re telling a story, and they also pace a lot while telling a story please and thank you. :) (boys: all from heartslabyul and Leona)
Hello! Thanks so much for the second ask! I appreciate your support☺️
Twst boys react to an energetic reader who talks fast and paces while telling stories
Note/warning: gn reader, fast talking, pacing, fluff
Riddle
• overwhelmed the first time he hears you tell a story
• eventually gets used to your pacing
• drinks coffee before you come over to Heartslaybul so he can try and follow along
• has recorded some of your stories (yes, he’s a creep) and plays them at a slower speed so he can understand what you were trying to say
• gets you back on track when you lose your train of thought
• likes to snack on tarts while he listens to you
“Your stories always seem so fantastical. How was this possibly happening when you were supposed to be in class?”
Ace
• can almost match your story telling speed
• holds a conversation with you pretty well
• if he misses something he yells at you to go back and repeat yourself
• overdramatic head nodding and shaking
• makes him sad that you pace when you tell stories b/c he wants to lay his head in your lap while you play with his hair :(
• sometimes sticks out his foot so you trip and fall into his arms
“oH nO YoU FelL! Now you just have to hold me while you continue the story.”
Deuce
• vision starts to blur because of how fast your pacing is
• feels bad that he can’t follow along to your story
• asks you to repeat yourself a lot
• legitimately invested in your stories
• will share the fragments of the story he remembers to Ace back at Heartslaybul
• waits until you’re done to tell you his stories too
“He wanted you to take his ham? Ohhh, his hand. I see. Ok you can keep going now.”
Cater
• joins in on your pacing
• paces right next to you while holding your hand
• loves your fast stories
• thinks your stories are perfect for the internet
• will sometimes live stream your stories because of how fast and fun they are
• just nods while he has the goofiest, love-struck look on his face
“Babe, wait. Retell that part off the story and look at the camera.”
Trey
• everyday he looks forward to your fast-paced stories
• trying to bake something when you bust in the room to tell him a story
• stares at your lips while you talk to see if he can understand anything you’re saying
• carefully pushing bowls away from the edge of the counter so you won’t knock them over while you pace
• nods politely while he tries to follow along
• can’t seem to calm you down for anything so he just shoves a biscuit into your mouth
“First, tell me how that tastes and then you can finish your story.”
Leona
• honestly he probably tunes out your rambling
• often times falls asleep while you tell a story b/c your voice is soothing to him
• finds it cute when you eagerly run into his room to tell him something
• if you ever look over at him while telling your story, you’ll see him with this content little smile on his face
• his eyes never leave your form as you pace
• starts to call you his ‘apex predator’ because of your incessant pacing
“Yeah, yeah great story. Now come over here my little apex predator.”
