Thorns
Pairing: Malleus x Riddle
Notes: This is for the fifth day's prompt ("Thorns") of the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. This is LATE, but is getting posted. It's also only... vaguely about them, being more of a general poem reflecting two similar, but opposing individuals.

Both different, yet connected; closely tied.
Secluded wither, but supported, thrive.
With feelings neither one could ever hide,
Together, rose and blackthorn feel alive.
They cling, and twist, and grow in in their own way:
The blackthorn takes his time, he ripens slow,
The rose, instead grows fast, then wilts away.
A balance - summer's heat, and winter's snow.
Both sharp and fierce, though softness also lies
Within; a berry dark, a flower red.
Their thorns and prickles choke, but too, growthwise,
Protect. Their love not harsh, but sweet instead.
Two lovely boys, just like the flora strong,
Root in each other's hearts, their whole lives' long.

Under the Moonlight
Pairing: Malleus x Jade
Summary: Malleus and Jade, meeting under the moonlight.
Notes: This is for the sixth day's prompt ("Under the Moonlight") of the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. This little piece is partially based on this post (which I have been thinking about since I first saw it!!), and my need for more MalleJade content in this fandom. This one's for you, Quinn! ♡

Please let me know if you'd like to be included or excluded from future writing of mine, or only want to be included in specific types of creations.
It's become their routine, meeting under the moonlight.
It isn't that their relationship is exactly secret; those who know, know. Malleus and Jade don't feel the need to proclaim it to the world, but they also don't feel any need to hide it. Their nighttime walks, their dates under the stars are simply what they prefer.
It's how their relationship started, meeting under the moonlight.
Both had a habit of spending time around the school after the sun had set. Wandering alone, observing the world as it slowed down. Until one evening, they met. And from then on, they began wandering together instead.
They made their own world, meeting under the moonlight.
The dark is comforting. The cold, familiar to them both. And the silence of the night envelops them, making the otherwise busy campus into their own private world. The stars, the wind, the moon, and each other as their only company.
They learned from each other, meeting under the moonlight.
The world becoming illuminated in new ways with every conversation. Sharing their interests and passions, pointing out a feature the other would have never noticed otherwise. Learning to see their surroundings through the other's eyes; the littlest plants, and the tiniest details in gargoyles. Eventually, they learned about each other, too, becoming drawn closer together with each starry night.
And they found love, Jade and Malleus, meeting under the moonlight.

literally in another universe snowbairdplinth could've been THE revolution. they wouldn't even really need any allies, lbr.
like, between coryo's cunning, sej's conscience, and lucy gray's charisma? the snow name, the plinth fortune, the baird d12 but neither district nor capitol pedigree?
coryo could've actually been like, panem's first 20-year-old president, who outlaws the hunger games and who the districts still listen to because he has sej and lucy gray on side. and yeah maybe coryo still kills a bunch of people but like whatever, no one really bats an eye -- who's gonna mourn gaul, anyways? no one in the districts, that's for sure. even if gaul didn't suck ass they'd be busy with cool covey music and awesome new legislation.
in a better universe i am 100% certain snowbairdplinth could've managed a fairly bloodless revolution, six decades early.
