Lilia’s kid originally didn’t know how to exist around Malleus for the beginning of their relationship. Not only did neither know they had a sibling (so same thing with Silver and kind of Sebek for that), but also because he royalty and next in line.

Yuu spent a good amount of time just thinking how their dad adopted a prince, then after accepting their spot back, thinking how they are siblings with a prince.

After a while they got used to it and got used to just treating him as a little sibling. It is now not unusual for Yuu to tease Malleus or give him a noogie. They also love to mess with Malleus most when he’s trying to be regal.

Yuu, tackles Malleus to the ground: "You ate my ice cream!"

Malleus, in a headlock: "It didn't have your name on it!"

Yuu: "Who else eats Mint Pistachio?!"

They both start fighting, completely forgetting they are in the presence of other dorm members.

Lilia: "I taught you better than this, Malleus!"

Silver is rooting for Yuu while Sebek criticizes Yuu's form. Everyone in the dorm is just stunned.

Floyd: *hands Toryn a rock* Rock.

Toryn: Uh, yeah? I see that.

Floyd: Rock *walks away*

—

Jade: Toryn, I have a gift for you.

Toryn: Really? Epic. What is it?

Jade *hands Toryn a rock* A rock.

Toryn: A rock?

Jade: A rock. *leaves*

—

Vil: Toryn, please tell me why you have so many rocks…

Toryn: I’d like that answer myself. I’ve been given like twenty.

Vil: I- *sighs* Why is this exactly something you’d do? You can say no.

Toryn: Isn’t that a bit…

Vil: Say no.

Toryn: Okay, okay…

—

Azul: Would you stop taking the rocks from the lounge’s aquariums?!

Jade: But we’re trying to help out dear brother.

Azul: How is taking a bunch of rocks helping Toryn?

Floyd: Either he says no, which is good, or he ends up with a bunch of random rocks, which is hilarious.

Azul: You two are insufferable.

Thus is the way of the Leech family.

They're giving out rocks in these trying times.

Dusk: Dad, you named Silver, right? So why if his name Silver?

Lilia: Yes, I named him. And his name is Silver because it’s his hair color. Why?

Dusk: Really? That’s it?

Lilia: Yes, that’s it. Why did you want to know?

Dusk: I just wanted to know about my brother, I guess.

Lilia: Aww, that’s kind of you.

Dusk: …

Dusk: Why is my name Dusk?

Lilia: You were born at dusk.

Dusk *leaving*: I don’t know why I expected different.

(His eye color and name are tied too. Purple is more of a sunset thing, but I still thought it fit.)

Dusk "I bet you would've named Mal something like, "Dark" or "Night" if the queen didn't tell you his name."

Lilia "...."

Dusk "Dad?"

Lilia "Shelly..."

Dusk "Oh my god dad"

Lilia "Either that or Sheldon."

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

Lilia’s kid would be the “no one messes with my siblings but me” type of older sibling.

Silver is sleeping and needs to be woken up? Yuu just starts shaking him far from gently and/or just chucks him over their shoulder.

Sebek is monologuing about “Wakasama”? Yuu calls him a dork and pulls him in a headlock to noogie him.

Malleus’s magic accidentally zap’s them or their thing? They immediately try to tackle him.

But the SECOND someone else messes with them, they are dead.

(Can’t think of anyone doing anything to Silver)

Ace teases with Sebek after he monologues about “Wakasama”? They grab a pillow or something to get back at Ace.

Leona starts making fun of Malleus? Their housewarden or not, Yuu steps on his tail.

Yuu, with Malleus in a headlock: Are you gonna do it again?

Malleus, can easily break free: Mayhaps.

Yuu: Stop picking up lingo from dad!

Everyone watching: What the fuck-

--------

Sebek, hitting his 2nd hour of his monologue about Malleus: And another thing-

Yuu: He mlems when he thinks no one is watching.

Sebek: You're lying!

Yuu, shit eating grin: Am I?

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

Lilia’s kid goes is not happy with Leona or the first years, specifically Ace.

Leona always messes with Malleus and Ace and the first years mess with Sebek. And no one gets to do that other than them, that’s their little siblings.

Yuu goes after them every time. Catching Malleus and Sebek up in the cross fire then Yuu teases them afterwards.

Silver is relived he’s not in the middle of this and Sebek and Malleus are just asking him to save them.

Silver doesn't have anyone messing with him, he's in the clear. Malleus and Sebek are suffering while Lilia laughs at them.

Yuu, says something teasingly about Malleus or Sebek

Someone: Yeah, they're (insult)

Yuu: Da fuck did you just say about my brother?

Trying to raise baby dragons is a struggle. What did Lilia learn from raising two? (Well, like one and a half since he went through only the baby, toddler, and very young kid years of the first one…)

Pyromaniacs. Lilia doesn’t know if it’s a dragon thing, a Draconia thing, or a his kids thing, but they set things on fire like it’s a hobby (still do). He learned how to anticipate fire breath and how to deal with char, soot, and similar very quickly. Luckily, he wasn’t completely left in the dark and their grandmother and mother helped. Unluckily, their help also came with teasing.

Baby dragons learn to fly. That seems obvious, right? What didn’t seem obvious to him until he had hindsight was that they’d climb on things and jump off to attempt to fly or glide. Do you know the heart attack he had seeing his daughter do that for the first time ever? It didn’t get easier with Malleus either! But this time, Maleanor was no help and completely unfazed! While he and Raverne were trying not to die, she just encouraged the behavior as long as they ‘find better spots to climb, not furniture’. Lilia doesn’t care if it’s only two feet off the ground! Do they have to do it at all?! Well, can they at least warn their fathers?! No? Fun.

Baby dragon teeth are sharp, but they gain control of their bite strength shockingly fast. Malefica says it’s because baby dragons explore by biting, so they get experience quicker than expected, especially since they don’t usually want to hurt things.

Lilia agrees that baby dragons don’t want to hurt people, but things are another story. He’s lost count of how many times he’s gotten reports of or outright seen destruction of their toys. Sometimes they destroyed most of their toys in one go. Do they think these toys just grow on trees? Malynne liked destroying stuffed animals while Malleus liked destroying things that had pieces that could fly everywhere like puzzles.

They never lose their energy. Never. Did they just wake up? Now they’re a tornado making a mess. Are they sick and supposed to be resting? Well they haven’t seen you in five seconds, so expect them to ram into you when you walk back in. They may crash and sleep for a bit, but that energy will come right back.

With their never ending energy comes never ending enthusiasm. And with that comes never ending confidence. It doesn’t matter if it was physically impossible for them to make the jump from the chair to the dresser, it was their goal to be everywhere, so they would succeed. They’d probably even try a few more times after failing once before actually trying a better method. And you’re never allowed to stop them because they’d pout, and when they do, be wary of claws, teeth, and fire.

All and all, Lilia has learned many things and thought he would die of shock and horror many times, but he still lives (can’t get rid of him that easy! Woo!). And he absolutely wouldn’t trade his experience with his kids ever. And if you want a simpler explanation on what raising them was like, think a hyper puppy mixed with a moody, self-assured cat. Yes, both of his kids and he did not misspeak. He doesn’t care if that description is embarrassing, that’s his role as a dad and he will not be sil!-

We were perfect as children, and we were certainly not cats or puppies.- Malynne

Anyone who wishes to say otherwise can say that it to us personally. - Malleus

Lilia, side eying his kids like "The stories I could tell about the two of you."

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

Lilia’s kid teases with Malleus teasing him for being tech inept.

Malleus cutting them off: Say another word and I’ll get Lilia.

Yuu: You wouldn’t dare.

Malleus: I absolutely do dare. LIL-

Yuu jumps to cover his mouth: What do you want?

Malleus removes Yuu’s hand: That’s better.

The "I'm calling Dad!" skill has been unlocked for Malleus!

Malleus, shows a printed out picture of what he wants: That one.

Yuu, can't help themselves: What? You don't have a phone?

Mallues: LIL-

Yuu: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I want General Lilia and Dusk to meet. General Lilia before he win the war and had a kid just being almost the same as Dusk would honestly surprise Dusk because Dusk knew his dad as extremely kind. (Lilia could never bring himself to be mean to such a young kid, especially his young kid.)

Also they would look almost identical except for the red highlights, eye color, and outfits.

Lilia is confused why there’s someone who looks identical to him and Dusk is just confused on how his dad would ever act like that.

Baul, looks from Dusk to Lilia: One of your offspring, perhaps?

Lilia: I don't have kids, Baul.

Baul, stares hard at Lilia:

Lilia: I would know if I had a kid!

Baul, points at Dusk: Then who is he?

Lilia: A clone.

Baul: He smells like you, but he's not you.

Lilia: I can't explain that.

Lilia’s son had returned. Returned safe and sound. Even taking a liking to his brothers. So why was Lilia not happy?

Lilia knew WHY, but he thought it was stupid to be upset for the reasons he was. All that mattered was his kid’s safety and happiness.

But Dusk always kept him at an arms length. No matter what Lilia tried, Dusk dodged. He just assumed Dusk wasn’t ready. Though, he knew he didn’t try to hard. He just couldn’t bring himself to put his foot down and make Dusk be honest. Lilia was the one to cause all of this mess. Does he have a right to force it or put pressure down? What if he stepped in a sore spot Dusk needed someone else for?

With that Lilia kept smiling. He kept the upbeat appearance or their relationship. He just dealt with the pain, feeling like his own son couldn’t be further away.

Whenever they were fully ready to have that conversation, without any fear, that’s when it would be held. He could try and make sure it was make sure it would be held... Eventually.

Eventually, that’s when it would be held.

—

Dusk got his dad back, what he was yearning to have for so long. Why is he still upset? His dad is right there. They’ve talked and hugged and he’s not alone anymore.

His feelings were stupid. Lilia was a man in grief, of course he couldn’t talk about his son that disappeared suddenly. And of course he couldn’t mention it to his other kids who he took in, out of the kindness of his heart. That would have only made them feel like they were being used for a father’s grief.

It’s even more stupid how the ‘not being mentioned’ part hurts more than the ‘his dad adopted more kids in his absence’ part. Dusk just couldn’t understand the slightest bit of why he felt the way he did. That made it hurt worse.

He knew he should talk to his dad. Tell him everything. He knew his dad was willing to listen, but he wasn’t ready. He just felt scared. When he was ready he would be able to bravely face it. He’d just need to wait for… Eventually.

He’d just need to wait for eventually.

Throw them both into a room and lock the door so they can work it out. Sebek and Silver threw them in while Malleus locked the door. The time to talk is now.

I think it would be funny if Kalim not having a social mask and Domino’s reliance on a social mask would lead to conflict, at least for Domino. He would constantly feel insulted because Kalim’s words could have a double meaning, but Kalim meant none of it and is being very literal.

Kalim: “You’re always so quiet, especially around me. Are you sure you’re ok? I can listen no matter what.” “Do you need me to hold your hand? You always get lost and if we’re holding hands you won’t get lost and Jamil won’t have to find you.” “You don’t look like you’re having the best time. I can totally fix anything you need, you just gotta speak up.”

Domino: Why am I getting bullied in broad daylight?

Domino: Jamil-

Jamil: It is not on purpose or malicious. He is just like that.

Domino: How?

Jamil: I wish I could tell you.

Something that occurs often enough is the twins getting bored then “borrowing” Dusk. It especially happens when they think Azul is being boring or too bossy. The sneak off, take Dusk, and mess with Azul.

Azul: Can you not touch me? I’m doing scheduling here.

Dusk: *finger less than an inch from Azul* We’re not touching you. Free space.

Azul: You practically are!

Floyd: Nu-uh, this is touching. *leans on him*

Jade: *silently moving/hiding pencils, pens, ect on Azul’s desk while the other two distract him under the guise of doing his own work next to him* Come now, Floyd. That isn’t nice.

Azul: You are just as bad! Don’t pretend I don’t know exactly what you’re doing.

This continues until Azul gets completely fed up. He returns Dusk to Diasomnia (or Savannaclaw), or gets someone to take him back, and tells the tweels to follow him and play there.

Azul, dragging the three of them over to Savanaclaw and dumping them.

Leona: What the-

Azul: Babysit. *Leaves*

Imagine if Lilia's Magic started getting stronger after his kid gave him a drink, so he was able to stay in Night Raven. He noticed his kid was sleeping a lot in class, took them to their room, and found something on their desk: An Elixir that was rumored to restore one's magic to its prime. The ingredients for that elixir are nearly impossible to find and Lilia realizes his child hunted those ingredients down & made the elixir to restore his magic to keep the family together; it was that drink they gave him.

Lilia's getting choked up and doesn't hear Yuu getting up behind him.

"You got a lot of stuff left to teach us, old man, and I'm missing a lot of years of it."

Book 7 Spoilers. Out in EN and Edited

Silver: *looks between Silver and Malleus* Father.

Lilia: Yes?

Silver: Dusk was born as right after the war and Malleus hatched after the revenge strike, right?

Lilia: That is correct.

Silver: When was I put into that magical sleep?

Dusk: *knowing where Silver is going* Silver…

Lilia: If I’m right, as the humans knew they were losing the war.

Malleus: Silver. You know-

Silver: Would that not, technically, make me older?

Lilia: Hmm. I guess it would.

Silver: *looks at the two, before staring at Dusk* What happened to obeying your older brother?

(This is in canon limbo. Idk when to put Silver. It could be when this story says, it could be as the fae were fighting after the revenge strike but before Malleus, or it could be a bit after Malleus.)

Malleus: .... Ah, I see.

I don’t have much of an idea for any Kalim sibling Yuu, but I can only imagine what it would have done to the Asims. They seem so focused on their kids, so any being taken, especially one close enough to Kalim, the first, in age, would break them.

It would probably be the reason Kalim was raised in bubble wrap. Like there are other heirs, but they were at least allowed to learn to be self sufficient. While they are the target of a lot of assassins, especially family, it could be just that they saw something happen to one Asim kid, so they could probably get to another.

Yeah, the second oldest Al-asim sibling gets teleported out of there and no one knows how. Everyone is now on higher alert than usual, doubling Jamil's work load and keeping Kalim's so sheltered.

Kalim sib!Yuu appears in the ceremony and there's such an air of authority backing them. They get sorted into Scarabia, Jamil's expecting triple the work keeping Yuu entertained only to realize that Yuu keep Kalim from acting out as much as he does.

They're still fun loving, but unlike Kalim, they know where the limit is. If they had stayed in TWST, Najma no doubt would've gone to them as their retainer.

Dusk: Goat

Malleus: Hamster

Dusk: Goat

Malleus: Hamster

This continues for about an hour, only for them to start fighting and wrestling.

Silver: *Trying his best to not cheer on either. Probably Malleus.*

Lilia: Ah, youth.

Sebek: *Walks in, walks right back out*

Sebek:

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

Is there a specific scenario you have in mind for when Sebek unlocks the Cain Instinct(TM)?

I feel like it starts as like small but annoying things. Dusk tilting the pictures a little bit off the center and then what breaks Sebek is Dusk eating sebek's labeled food in front of him.

Sebek: ...TO WAR!

Malleus & Silver: To war!
