My Heart Stays With You | Leona Kingscholar x Mistress! Yuu/Reader

NOTE: Hey, so I can’t find the FUCKING fic I was talking about in this post and despite all my desperate searching I STILL can’t find it so I’m WRITING MY OWN VERSION OF IT until the author of that fic MESSAGES ME AND GOES “EYO DUDE WTF THAT IDEA WAS MINE” so I can search their blog and finally read the fucking story cuz istg I can’t focus on my schoolwork with that fic weighing on my mind like a curse that’s been placed on my family for 40 generations.

LUCKILY tho I used the wayback internet thing and I managed to read them again :D if you guys want a link to it I’ll share thru dm cuz I’m too lazy to post something about it rn ejdkskxkskx

SYNOPSIS: Leona had been forced into an arranged marriage with a noblewoman, but he had already been in a relationship with Yuu. They loved each other too much, and both of them weren’t willing to let each other go. So in their own selfish ways, they stayed together despite the ring shining on his finger.

The two of them never thought it would get to this.

Leona had hoped that he would at least be able to make her his officially. All he needed to do was graduate and introduce her to his family, as reluctant as he was to let her into the royal life for the fear that she would have to carry the weight of it, he was far too selfish to let her go.

But Yuu didn’t mind at all. Just like him, she was far too selfish to let him go.

. . .

. . . .

. . .

When the news came to her that Leona had no choice but to push through with the arranged marriage, he rushed to her room in Ramshackle Dorm to hold her in his arms.

“Stay with me,” He begged that night, holding her in his arms with all the strength he could muster. “Please stay with me.”

It felt out of character for him to say those words with such strong emotion, but in the years they’ve been together, as she approached her fourth year in NRC, Leona slowly learned to lower his walls around her.

Only around her. Just her.

“Stay with me. I won’t do anything with her. I promise.”

“But…”

Hearing her strained voice and her choked sobs as she cried on his shoulder broke his heart. His heart… that he had given to her all those years ago when she accepted him with all of her being…

How unfair could the world get?

“I won’t. You’re the only one in my heart,” he stated firmly, a promise that he would hold himself to for the rest of his life.

“That stupid marriage is only for formalities. A political convenience. That woman and I don’t even have to do anything, and I don’t intend on giving myself to her. Not my love, not my mind, not my body.”

He looked into her eyes, furrowing his brows with intensity. When Yuu looked at them, she could feel the fierce heat of his love for her and his unyielding devotion.

She understood his place. He really had no say in the marriage, it had already been set in stone. Leona knew this well, and yet he couldn’t help but feel guilty… she had been so kind to him, so understanding…

“Yuu…” his voice was molten gold, and it seeped through the cracks of her heart.

“I love you. Only you. Please stay with me.”

“I will,” she said without hesitation.

He kissed her the moment she said those words, and a night of passion between them followed.

That wouldn’t be their last.

The night before his wedding, Leona drove to a villa some distance away from the palace.

It was distant from other residences and a little more solitary. Leona knew it would be perfect for Yuu, so he bought it immediately before anyone else could so she could live there with Grim after their graduation.

He knocked on the door, and it opened within a few seconds.

He felt his heart beating rapidly when he saw her face. For a moment, Leona felt at peace.

Yuu smiled, looking just as relieved, “You’re here…”

He moved to embrace her.

Ever since the arranged marriage, it was the first thing he would do whenever he visited her. An act of reassurance that he would forever be hers.

“I came just as I said I would,” He said.

“It’s tomorrow,” she quietly muttered.

“Will you go?”

“I promised I would.”

“It would hurt you…”

“It would hurt you just as much…” she said, her voice breaking, “I…I promised you that I would…always be there to comfort you…”

“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable any more than I already have,” he sighed. His woman was far too kind to him. He wouldn’t have blamed her if she tried to be a little petty.

“I think… I think it would make me more uncomfortable not seeing you, knowing that you would be with her…”

Leona knew that his brother was aware of his distaste for the marriage, but the will of their father, even as he lay sickly on his bed, had to be followed.

“Leona…”

He knew what that tone in her voice meant.

He looked down at her slightly, immediately noticing her half-lidded eyes and her sudden shy but sensual smile.

“Will you stay with me a little longer…?”

She didn’t even have to ask.

He pulled her to her bedroom. And there, they lost themselves into each other’s arms, wrapped up in the heat of their love.

. . .

. . . .

. . .

“Did you meet up with your friends?”

The question came to him as they basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking. She had her head against his chest, his arm around her as he slowly traced shapes on her skin.

“Jack said that you asked him and Ruggie to escort me…” she said, recalling her meeting with her friends from NRC the past week.

Leona had taken it upon himself to invite some notable people from NRC, especially those he knew she would be close with. Most of them also knew of the relationship they kept going through with, as dangerous as it was.

Vil Schönheit had actually been the one to visit her first. He was invited as Leona’s acquaintance and former school “friend”, according to Leona himself. Vil was one of the few people who knew about their continuing relationship despite Leona’s arranged marriage, and out of respect for Yuu (who Vil was clearly fond of) agreed to keep it a secret.

Kalim and Jamil were invited as well, under the pretext of Kalim being the first son of House Asim and Jamil as his servant. When they came to her home, they reminisced on old times and agreed to keep in touch.

As she told him about their visits, she remembered another thing.

“I didn’t expect you to invite Malleus to the wedding…” she said.

“He’s your friend, isn’t he?”

“Yes but…”

Although she continued writing to malleus, as he was her cherished friend, she knew that the two of them hardly got along.

“A lotta random royals, nobles and celebrities are invited out of formality, so I thought that I might as well invite someone you’re familiar with. Kalim, Vil, Idia, and Malleus came to mind at first.”

He looked down at her as he stroked her hair, “I’m sure you’ll be fine with their company. If you’re around people like them then no one should be able to bother you. I made sure to tell them all to visit you before the wedding.”

Malleus didn’t come alone, of course. Lilia, Silver, and Sebek came there as the Briar Valley prince’s attendants.

Those four weren’t daft by any means. She knew that they had probably already figured out that they were keeping their relationship a secret from the public.

“Are you alright with this?” Sebek had asked her, his voice strangely reluctant and…soft.

“We both aren’t,” she admitted to him, “But this is… the only way we could live right now.”

Malleus sighed, lamenting how unfortunate your circumstances are.

“If you need a place to belong, let us know,” He told her. “Briar Valley will welcome you with open arms.”

“Thank you…” she smiled kindly at her friends, “But I belong with Leona.”

“Leona, congratulations on your wedding.”

Leona watched as Vil approached him with Yuu around his arm.

Vil turned to the bride with a practiced smile, “and to you as well, my lady.”

“Congratulations, both of you,” Yuu said with a smile that made Leona uncomfortable. He hated her fake smiles.

He hated this. He hated all of this.

“You truly are fortunate, Lady Aisha,” her words pierced his heart like a bullet. His hands were itching to hold her in his arms. “To be wed to Leona… well, it might not be easy but…”

Yuu met his eyes, something profound shining within them, mixed with hopelessness and pain.

“I’m sure…he’ll be a very wonderful lover.”

The bride noticed the look Leona was giving the human girl while pondering the meaning of her words. With a strained smile, clearly masking her irritation, Aisha intertwined her arms around Leona’s and smiled at her.

“Oh I am well aware of that,” she says with a sickeningly sweet smile, “he is always so good to me.”

Yuu didn’t mean to take her words too far, but despite the bitterness in Aisha’s words, she smiled like a flower in bloom, masking her pain like it was nothing.

“I wish you both happiness.”

. . . .

. . . . .

. . . .

“Kifaji.”

The royal family’s long-time aid turned around at the sharp call of Leona’s new bride. Her features were marred with irritation, unbefitting of the occasion.

“Yes, my lady?” He acknowledged her calmly, ready to take every complain she has.

“Who is that woman?”

Kifaji looked at where she was pointing only to see Leona chatting with Yuu.

The aid’s expression softened at the sight of them. Leona’s eyes were unguarded as he spoke to the young woman, seemingly taking in every word she was saying. Yuu, on the other hand, despite the occasion simply seemed happy to be in the presence of the second prince.

It was the same scene he had seen quite a few years ago, when Leona brought her along with some other schoolmates for Tamashina-Mina. She was a darling little thing— she was beautiful. She got along well with their friends and Leona cared about her more than he liked to admit. But it didn’t escape Kifaji’s eyes when he saw Leona buy her a gift. A necklace the same color as his eyes, just as she requested.

“You should have chosen one with your eye color instead.” He heard Leona say to her.

“No,” Yuu shakes her head, “I like the color of your eyes better.”

She was sweet and by no means a push-over. She knew how to keep Leona in place without being pushy, and it was clear to anyone that Leona favored her greatly.

Kifaji had…hoped that he got to see Leona happy with her.

If it hadn’t been for the arranged marriage that the two princes’ father wanted… then maybe… maybe then the second prince would finally smile for the rest of his days…

“That is Miss Yuu, a long-time friend of his Highness,” he told Aisha calmly. “Prince Leona is quite fond of her, as is Prince Cheka, please do get along with her.”

“They look too close to be friends,” she quipped.

Kifaji could only do what he could for the Prince he had taken care of…

“I would not worry about that,” he said, expression unchanging, “I am certain that they are only friends.”

The lady huffed before fixing her wedding garments and going back to the party, Kifaji could finally breathe.

It was 12 AM at midnight, just two hours after the wedding and the reception ended when she heard something park itself on her driveway.

Before she could get the chance to look out the window, someone immediately knocks on the door.

In a rush, she opens the door only to see the lion that had been plaguing her thoughts, feeding the shadows whispering in her mind.

Large arms wrapped themselves around her in a warm embrace.

“I drove here as soon as everyone was asleep.”

She returned his embrace, feeling the beat of his heart against hers.

“You shouldn’t have come here.”

“I can’t stand it. She was so annoying…” he buried his nose against her hair. “All she did was complain when all I did was nap on the bed.”

Lady Aisha must have gotten angry that Leona wouldn't touch her on their wedding night... She thought to herself. The thought of Leona sharing a bed with another woman made her heartache. She wanted to erase the image in her mind..

But she couldn’t do much now, can she? He was a married man now, but it wasn’t to her… no, it was to someone else.

However…

“Aren’t you gonna welcome me home?”

He will always return to her. Never touched and never kissed by anyone else but her.

She chuckles, looking up at him with pained eyes.

“It’s your wedding night, you know…? You could at least…”

“I told you, I ain’t touchin’ her.”

“You…you don’t have to… but it might make your family mad if you suddenly—“

He places a hand under her chin and forces her to look at him before stroking her cheek.

“I don’t care,” he says with finality. “I don’t care about that stupid wedding. I don’t care about her. I don’t care about any of them.”

His forehead touches hers, a tear escapes her eye.

“I care about us.”

And he kisses her with more love than he could ever give.

Another night passes, and Leona is once more entangled in Yuu’s arms.

Ruby/yuu from how to get my husband on my side

Sure thing, I'm sorry if it's short because due to my lack of knowledge of the manhwa as well as the character, I based it from research of the characters personality so sorry if it's not accurate...

Ruby!Yuu’s magic centers around defense, with spells that create shimmering, flower-like shields. These barriers are as beautiful as they are strong, made of translucent layers resembling petals that protect themselves and their friends with a delicate but unbreakable power.

Once Crowley ask ruby!yuu to accompany him to RSA to meet the headmaster there and during that time many princes or students have approached with the intention of getting to know them. This of course causes Crowley into a frenzy and quickly ends the meeting due to how many of the students are making ruby!yuu uncomfortable.

A melancholic song filled the still silence of the night as the moonlight illuminated the lonely individual. Singing an old lullaby, she held her newborn child in her arms and expressed her deep affection for her little one through the melody. She attempted to keep singing but felt her throat begin to tire, even though she did not want to take a break to drink water for every minute mattered.

The mistress hoped that her son would understand how much she loved him by the way she sang for him. She wanted him to remember her with every note of the song, even if it was only a faint memory in his heart. She loved her son with every fiber of her being and did not want him to forget it, even if her own time was running out.

Her infant remained asleep in her arms, which made her smile with happiness. The smell of the baby made her continue to shower it with love and affection, showering him with kisses and cherishing him. She already did care for him since he existed in the world and never stop giving out her love and power for him as for a dragon egg to hatch, it needs the love and power from its parents the most. If only his father was not the King of Briar Valley, they could love happily together.

Her singing came to a halt as the voice of the opening door echoed through the halls, alerting her to Malleus's presence. It was time to say goodbye, the mistress, unfortunately, had no choice in the matter. The separation of mother and child was too cruel to fathom, but Malleus did not care for her feelings. Even as she begged, he paid her no mind, because, in his eyes, she was not Yuu. The mistress knew that the cruel fate that awaited her would come to pass, and she would be separated forever from her dear son.

The mistress felt her tears falling down her cheeks, no matter how hard she tried to conceal them. She held her baby boy closer and hugged him tighter, not wanting the moment to come where she would bid him goodbye. The mistress understood that a child required the love and affection of both parents, and that she was the mother of her baby.

"It is time," she heard Malleus's warning words coming from behind her. She was too afraid to turn around or face him, for she was determined to keep her baby boy hidden and out of his sight. But deep down, she knew this wasn't possible, and that she would eventually have to come to terms with this separation and say her farewells. She knew that the moment she'd been avoiding for so long was upon her, and yet, she could not find the strength to accept it.

The mistress replied, "Please, let me just have a day more with him. He just came into this world, and he is my little child. We created him together, and I want to have that time with him."

However, in response to her plea, Malleus coldly retorted, "My heir is not yours. Yuu is the rightful mother. She is my wife, not you.” The mistress was stunned once more, realizing that she would not be able to convince Malleus otherwise. He maintained his cold glare on her. She was never deemed as his wife, Yuu was. It was true that the mistress had only given birth, but Yuu was the chosen one and her marriage with her husband was only for an heir for the fae legacy.

"Being stubborn will lead you nowhere," Malleus said angrily, as he tried to snatch the baby from her. The mistress continued her futile struggle to keep her child to herself, but felt herself failing as Malleus's grip on her arms grew tighter. It was a losing battle, and she knew that there was no other choice but to let her baby son fall into Yuu's hands.

“Then, just for a while. One minute more”

With a kiss to her son's forehead, she casted her unique spell, hoping to preserve his memory of the rhymes she had sung to him every night. For this song was one that was sung to a child from their mother, and it was something that she wanted to preserve his memory of, so he would have that part of her forever. Now that she was to be separated from her son, this song and memory would remain with him forever, always there to comfort him and remind him of her and their time together.

“I never care when you married me without love. I never care when you want to get rid of me but for this sinless child, give him all you got”

A warm cradle

Starlight and the happiness

Even now I will be by your side as we look at each other

Don’t be afraid even if you wake up from the dreams

Sleep, sleep, my beloved child

In dreams, I pray you would be guided to walk toward the light

Crowley: Now, listen here, Yuu! The trick to being popular with girls--

Crowley: It’s one Y chromazone. Now don’t interrupt! Anyway, the secret to winning over the girl of your dreams—or boy—is MONEY!

Yuu: Money?

Crowley: Yes money! Money is everything, including the key to love.

Crowley: You think girls wanna date a poor boy? No! They want a guy that can buy them nice things! Shiny things! Jewels, necklaces, bracelets and tiara!

Yuu: So, we treat them like Mistresses we can’t show the wife?

Crowley: I mean--Basically.

Part of this

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

One small pet peeve I have about Chapter 7 is that it's making Maleficent look like "a victim." This is a personal thing but I always considered the Evil Queen to be Disney's most evil villain, but the title has Maleficent being considered "evil incarnate." And I understand, she has powers and transforms into a dragon. What a cool thing. But on several occasions I feel that content creators who partly work for Disney do not respect that she is an evil being and end up softening her character, either giving her a tragic background or making her a mother. Going back to TWST, the part that bothers me the most is right at the beginning of the chapter, when Yuu dreams about Maleficent and the only option to choose implies that they feel bad for Maleficent for not being invited. And it's like WHAT? Didn't you see that she cursed a baby? Or better yet, why didn't you feel bad for the other villains? And seeing the theories of the most recent update, with the inclusion of the senate and seeing that almost the entire fandom hates them, it makes Maleficent's descendants seem more like victims (which they partly are). Sorry, this is something personal that I wanted to share with someone. But in conclusion, no other medium outside of the original film can well portray Maleficent as the embodiment of evil that she is supposed to be. And yes, I know the Draconia family is not Maleficent but they are still related.

Disclaimer: I’m coming at this from the POV of someone who has no attachment to Maleficent as a character and is frankly confused as to why she’s the Big Bad that Disney chooses to promote as their villainous icon 🤡 so take my opinion with a grain of salt!🧂

To quickly correct something before the discussion: Malleus being a relative or a descendant of Maleficent is NOT canon. It is a popular headcanon, especially during the early days of the TWST fandom when we didn’t have a lot of lore about the Draconia family. From the way Malleus speaks about the Thorn Witch, she is considered a separate ancient entity and not someone he personally knows or has blood ties with.

Knowing that, it somewhat detracts from the points made in this ask 😅 since it seems like the Anon was trying to draw a parallel between Maleficent and Malleus… Conflating Maleficent with Malleus may be the result of mixing up the dreams with the differing mediums and presentations of Maleficent and Malleus in the context of their own works. I feel they can be treated like two entirely separate cases, and with different intentions behind them.

Maleficent has been written as a tragic antihero in the live action movie(s) of the same name. That is one interpretation of her, just as the Descendants Maleficent is much goofier in attitude. They are Disney’s properties and so they are free to twist Maleficent however they wish to suit the circumstances or to chase a modern trend of redemption, even if it’s different than the “mistress of evil” she was introduced as. In my opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong with this (although that doesn’t mean you’re obligated to enjoy or to agree with every iteration of Maleficent or the new direction she’s being led in). This doesn’t automatically make her a “victim” (for lack of a better term) either, she feels more… “girlboss” to me, if that makes sense?? Tragic things do happen to her, but they don’t define Maleficent as an individual (if I recall correctly, she acts on her own and rises up + regains power in spite of humans hating her). I think it’s just a different way to spin a story. However, I can see why maybe this doesn’t bode well to some people who like her for being evil and not for being redeemable.

Malleus is the “final boss” of a gacha game. The intention behind his design is to endear the players to the character so they’re willing to roll for him. That’s why Malleus in particular has a “special” role compared to the other boys, and why they try to establish a friendship with Yuu early on in the main story. He is treated differently in the narrative because of that. We may not necessarily like it or find the method effective, but that’s the design TWST went with. (I’m personally not a fan of this either, it grants Malleus specifically a lot of grace and favoritism that I’m not on board with 😅)

I also want to point out that when the other villains were introduced in Yuu’s dreams, it’s not really in situations that would immediately warrant sympathy. The Queen of Hearts is unreasonably mad, the King of Beasts is plotting against his brother, etc. It’s not that Yuu doesn’t “feel bad” for the others, it’s that the others didn’t give Yuu anything to “feel bad” about right away. For the dream with Maleficent, it’s different: Yuu first learns that she is “unwanted” and THEN she casts her magic. Yuu then fixates on the reason behind Maleficent’s curse (because at this point in the story, we’ve seen 6 cases of how one’s motivations and past fuel one’s actions in the present). The other villains don’t get similar scenes or lines to show off the potential reasoning behind their behaviors (no showing of how the Queen of Heart’s rule benefits her people, no jeering at Scar, etc.) so of course Yuu won’t be as gracious about them.

We should also consider that each of these dreams is prophetic and ties back to the current OB boy’s troubles. In Malleus’s case, loneliness is a huge issue and he’s been Yuu’s “friend” since book 2. These will naturally play into Yuu feeling more sympathy towards Maleficent, who resembles Malleus and is left out like he is. The other OB boys didn’t have this “special” connection, and their issues don’t center so strongly on wanting companionship. If you refer back to Yuu’s dreams of each villain, Yuu’s reactions to each reflect the ongoing dilemma of each boy and their dorm mates, such as wondering why the card soldiers don’t intervene and not understanding why Scar used the methods he did.

That being said, I’m not sure if I agree with the use of “victim” to describe the Draconias. The term’s definition varies by person (and I’m not sure what the asker’s own definition is, so there may be some disagreement here), but personally I see “victim” as a binary. It puts one person in a weak and passive position—with them being the one acted on—and the other person in a position of power—the one doing the acting. It creates an easy “us vs them” narrative. I don’t believe this is the case for any of the TWST characters; to call them “victims” implies a lack of agency to act and a clear good vs evil worldview.

Back to the Draconias. Yes, bad things have happened to them and some of those bad things were the result of the senate’s decisions. That doesn’t make the Draconias (or even Maleficent, in my opinion) “victims”, and certainly not “victims” to the senate alone. There are so many other factors to consider in Malleus being isolated and turning out the way he did. These include, but are not limited to: Maleficia being too busy to spend time with him, his parents being absent, Malleus still managing to meet and interact with Lilia anyway, Malleus himself being so powerful/high status he scares his servants and peers, royals having duties to tend to and thus limited freedoms, previously existing tensions with humans, etc.

TWST does do a lot to make you feel bad for and to pity Malleus. From the moment we first saw him, the “loneliness” of Malleus was a major part of his character. Many factors outside of his control compounded as an unfortunate situation that… wasn’t very conducive for him to grow up feeling normal and loved. It’s not that he was just now made a “victim”, it’s that we’re now getting all the context for why his character is the way it is—and it’s a whole slew of traumas and personal experiences. I would argue the same happens for all the OB boys; this isn’t something exclusive to twisted Maleficent, Malleus. TWST is trying to present these issues with more nuance than the classically evil G7 they were inspired by; the OB boys in general they aren’t defined by their “victimhood, but rather how they respond to and cope with those experiences.

Red Flowers: Rambles About Camp 2, Glomas, and Chapter 7

[JP spoilers ahead, you have been warned]

HI I’M SO MAD BECAUSE WDYM CAMP VARGAS 2 FORESHADOWED GLORIOUS MASQUERADE????????

For context, in this part of the event, Film Studies Club and Board Game Club just shoo’d away the forest fairies, and then they talked about why they were trying to put out the campfires. Then they started talking about the forest fire that happened back then: a miner’s campfire accidentally got too big and the fire happened. And then that screenshot comes up.

Vil also says “red flowers” in the JP.

This is insane to me because in the JP version, Camp Vargas 2 was the event directly before Glorious Masquerade. Camp happened late September 2022. Glomas happened the next month.

THIS IS SO INSANE….. THEY LITERALLY JUST DROPPED THIS SO INNOCUOUSLY AND THEN MAKE IT THE BIG THING IN THE NEXT EVENT…….

But it’s also so interesting too because!! A friend and I were talking about it because the red flowers that Rollo grew in Glomas are forbidden flowers! They were a thing in the past at one point. Fae would have known about the flowers, because in the first place, they’re fatal to them. The red flowers absorb magic and they will keep absorbing magic until the mage user has no more magic. And as beings literally made of magic, this is definitely deadly for fae. So in a way, this tidbit of information packs so much worldbuilding, not just about the forest fire, but also the perspective of fae.

Worth interesting to bring up here: Red flowers most likely came from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. In the movie, humans made red dust from it to kill fae in the human-fae war. As that war is canon in Twst, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Silver Knights (the humans) used them against the faes. So with that context, fae would see red flowers as a horrible thing, and to conflate it with fire, which kills living things too… yeah.

And now that we’re on this topic, we have to talk about chapter 7 because I am haunted by the fact that in the Maleficent movie, the faes do win against the humans.

But in Twst? We clearly see that that’s not the case.

Briar Valley was once called Land of Briar, as seen in the title cards showing the location in Lilia’s dream, connoting that it used to be much bigger. If you look at the map of Briar Valley, you’d also see that there are division marks on the country itself.

Literally the human-fae war has been twisted in this game. And that’s so fucking beautiful because in the original Sleeping Beauty, the humans won against Maleficent. Fae was the villain in that movie. But in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, it’s the faes who won. Humans were the villain. And THEN you see here that the humans won, but now you can’t really tell who’s hero or villain. It’s easy to say the humans because fae like Lilia are protagonists in this game… but remember too that Silver is fully human And may or may not be descended from the Knights and Sebek is half human. Ffs, Yuu is human.

Anyway, consider that Maleficent lives despite the red dust used in the war. But now think: if the silver knights Do use the red flowers, that may have been what killed Malleus’ mother… and the one who lives is Lilia.

Consider too that in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, one of the three fairies died to that red dust protecting the other fae :-) the blue fairy specifically. Noteworthy too that she’s the one who lifts Aurora’s curse such that she doesn’t die but just sleeps till she’s given true love’s kiss. Kinda… like how Malleus was born. Needs to be given love to “wake up”, to be hatched, to live. Like how Aurora needs to wake up via true love’s kiss to live. Merryweather in that sense is kinda like Lilia.

How haunting then that if Twst didn’t twist (heh) Maleficent surviving the war and made Mallenoir live, it could have been Lilia (who was the one who helped Malleus hatch) who died from the war.

Anyway, next chapter 7 update is probably gonna be so fire (haha) !!! But now it’s food for thought for glomas 2

[recreationalfanfics]

Okay okay so a few years back when I was very much into the NATM fandom (almost embarrassingly so), I was obsessed with Al Capone.

Imagine Al Capone meeting the fish mafia and either loving their whole vibe (especially the lounge) or not trusting them one bit and just pulling Daley!Yuu (a.k.a his pseudo-child, much to Larry's annoyance) to the side like 'I'd be careful o' these fellas - they seem like trouble'

(Cut to Larry like - You and your gang tried to teach them tax evasion last week!)

No but he would meet Deuce and would it would be like instant respect because one gangster recognises another (even though Deuce is trying to reform)

Imagine if he and Vargas had shooting competitions

Valid, Jon Bernthal as Al Capone was too powerful, he is a beautiful man♡

- YEAH, NO, UNCLE AL SOMEHOW APPEARING IN RAMSHACKLE (maybe various NATM characters appear in your room, so like one day it's Rexy, the other its Teddy, and so on and so forth) and maybe Battle At the Smithsonian happened when you were pretty small and Al and his Crew had to hold you hostage but ended up adoring you instead.

- Essentially, Al and the boys are confused but SO HAPPY WHEN THEY SEE YOU AGAIN. You walk downstairs to Ramshackle and see them standing in your living room only to lighten up when they see you♡

- They attend the school as if they're your bodyguards, like Ace and Deuce getting scared when these random monochrome men grab them and demand who they are but once you tell them that they're your friends, they're letting them go and fixing up their uniforms.

- Right off the bat, Al prefers Deuce more than Ace. This is shown when he tells Ace: "See, if you were alive in my time, that obnoxious mouth of yours would be filled with lead." and then he moves onto Deuce and he's all: "But this kid here has a look to 'im. There might be a place for you-"/ "ALPHONSE, NO."/ "What's with the government name, kiddo? M'just saying!"

- While he does find some elements of Twisted Wonderland odd and different, he absolutely knows mafia when he sees it and he immediately clocks the Tweels. Like, he walks into class with you and he's all: "Oh, those two are definetly mafia or whatever they got here in Disneyville." and the Tweels instantly look at him which only seems to confirm what he said.

"Prefect~ Whose this? Another friend from your world?"

"Haha, hope he can swim, Shrimpy!~"

- Al isn't very intimidated by these two and once you explain who he is, or, well, who he represents, then the Tweels are much more calm. They're not gonna outright tell you they're mafia but you hate how well they get along with Al after you told him who he was.

- NOW, Al might play wingman here. If you've got your eyes set on someone, good! His boys will either intimidate or black mail them into asking you out or, if Al decides he doesn't want to scold them, he'll be nice and try to gently nudge them in your direction (aka, just tell them that you like them and to shoot their shot).

- If you DON'T have someone you like, he might push you in the direction of Deuce, Floyd, or Jade.

- Preferably Deuce. He's got a good heart and a fair amount of muscle to protect you and from what he's heard, and he seems to want to keep you safe. A nice kid whose got a good head on his shoulders.

- However the reason why he considers Jade/Floyd is only if YOU like one of them and make the mistake of telling him or he finds out. First of all, he teases you about it and is all: "Wanna follow in your old man's footsteps, eh?" and you roll your eyes and Larry doesn't know why but his dad sense is tingling.

- But seriously, he will most definetly support it since you're very capable of handling yourself, he's seen you grow up into the troublemaking teenager you are but he also knows you have a tendency to land yourself in danger so he'd feel at ease if someone like Jade or Floyd had your back.

- But also, watch him be all: "But just so you know, there might be mistresses in the picture. If they're decent guys, obviously they won't have any but just keep an eye out and keep that in mind-"

- Jade and Floyd just being offended when he puts that idea into your head and assuring you that none of that will be happening-

Red Wine 🍷

Silver Bullet Chapter Four Red Wine

TW: Gangs, violence, explosions, drinking

“Woah so they really came in there trying to order Riddle around?!” Ace exclaims as he sits up on the couch. He is able to move around a bit more now that his wounds are healing. It’s been a few days since the encounter with Riddle and Ace still doesn’t believe Yuu no matter how many times they tell him the story.��

“Yeah, and I think he torched the guy right in the middle of my bar.” Yuu rubs their temple. Ace frowns at their expression, he can’t imagine it was a pleasant experience. 

“So did you grow up around NRC?” Ace tried his best to change the subject.

“Yeah, I grew up in an orphanage until I got picked up.” Yuu takes a bite out of their eggs. 

“Oh, I see what were your parents like?” Ace rubs his neck. 

“I can’t remember.” Yuu is glad Ace doesn’t ask any more questions as they need to get ready for the morning. 

Much like Riddle promised the bar looked good as new. The evidence from last night's fight is all but gone. Yuu at least had more time to prepare to open for the day. Grim and Ace come down as well. Ace wants to help now that he feels better, and Grim wants to eat his food in a dish Yuu placed downstairs. At least today should be quiet, the ding of the door chime catches their attention as a familiar green and orange-haired men greet them. 

“Hi, Yuu!” Cater waves. “Good morning Yuu and Ace.” Grim jumps up on the counter as Trey sets down a nicely decorated box. Cater goes over to Ace slinging an arm around his shoulders and and taking a few pictures with him. 

“Hey, Acey glad to see you’re okay, how about a few nice pictures for Riddle.” Cater’s phone flashes as he takes pictures from many angles with an annoyed Ace. 

“Good morning Trey, what can I get you?” Yuu leans against the counter as Trey pushes the box in front of them. 

“Nothing for today, I just wanted to bring you one of my pastries to apologize for last night.” Trey rubs the back of his neck. 

“I see.” Yuu takes the box as Grim sniffs the contents. “Thank you, It's not necessary though.” Yuu is pretty cautious of what could be inside. It's not every day Yuu gets a baked good from a mafia member. Yuu carefully opens up the box to at least see the treat. In all honesty, it looks delicious, it's a warm and fluffy cinnamon bun with the gooiest icing Yuu has ever seen. If they were going to die at least it's by the hands of a sweet mistress. They sniff the bun before taking a small bite. 

“It's so good, thank you, Trey.” Their eyes widen as they take another bite. 

“I’m glad you like it, I didn’t know what you would have liked.” He chuckles.

“Trey bakes the absolute best cakes you should come and try some Yuu, Riddle holds these Unbirthday parties and the food is always to die for.” Cater comes over to the counter. 

“Speaking of parties.” Trey takes out an envelope from his coat handing it to Yuu. “Riddle wanted to know if you could bartend for an upcoming party?” Now Yuu sees what this visit is all about. 

“Trey I know you're just the messenger, but I don’t want any part of the mafia.” Yuu sighs pushing the letter away.  

“Come on Yuu it will be fun and I promise last night’s fiasco won’t happen. The other mafia leaders are all more behaved.” Cater waves off their concern. 

“Cater-” Trey pinches the bridge of his nose. 

“Well if the other mafia leaders of there then I certainly will not be a part of it.” Yuu finishes their bun throwing away the box. “Now I need to open the bar, and unless you need to order anything I prefer you don’t loiter.” Yuu start to put on their work apron. The two men share a look with each other, they then look over at Ace holding a broom. He crosses his arms at them, not going along with whatever they are trying to convey. 

“Please Yuu it would really lighten Riddle’s mood, and help out our members from his anger.” Cater looks them in the eye now. “Plus it will help younger members like Ace.” 

“Cater-” Trey starts.

“You know Riddle is going to want him home soon.” Cater traces his finger along the counter. “I know you have your reservations about us, but we are honest with our word and we do care for our members. You bartending can help keep the Queen at bay and Ace and Deuce will have an easier time.” Cater smiles. 

“Cater don’t-” Ace storms up to grab the other by the shoulder. 

“I’ll do it.” Silence cuts through the room. “But you guys better pay me handsomely.”

Trey nods handing them the letter as they open it. 

Its safe to say Ace is not happy about this arrangement neither is Deuce when he learns about what happened that day at the bar. The two tried for serval days to persuade Yuu against it, but their mind was already made up. Curse their sweet and tender heart, their teachers always said it would be the death of them. Now standing at the center of the lion’s den it couldn’t feel more true. 

The party takes place in the Heartslaybul district in its town hall. It's an old but charming building with a beautiful ballroom done up to the nines with very Heartslaybul-centered decor. Yuu stands behind a sleek bar watching the people come and go. On the surface, it seems like a classy party, but the place is filled with mafia members from all the different gangs around NRC. It's a good thing Yuu always paid attention to Crewel and Trein’s lessons. They are able to pick out different leaders from their descriptions alone. 

First, is Riddle wearing a pristine suit with a long flowing red cape. He has his own throne in the back of the hall with Trey and Cater at his sides. Then there is Leona Kingschalor lounging on a plush couch on the sidelines. The ruthless leader of Savanaclaw looks more like a lazy housecat from this light. His members are the ones that frequent the bar. His clan is mostly beastmen who seem to be a little restless having to be put into stuffy suits. 

Close by is Azul Ashegrotto, owner of the Mostro Lounge and leader of Octavinelle, mingling with any benefactors that are in the facility with the infamous Leech twins at his side. Kalim Al-sim and Jamil Viper leaders of Scarabia stick to themselves, more so Jamil than Kamil. Vil Schoenheit leader of Pomefiore and owner of several entertainment lines appears fashionably late gaining most of the attention from the passerby. Idia Shroud heir to Ignihyde Surveillance Corp. is nowhere to be seen only a tablet following around a robot boy marks his presence. Lastly, there are the members of Diasomnia their leader nowhere to be seen.

Yuu, wouldn’t really care about all these details, but Crewel was insistent on Yuu learning about the world of NRC. It could be a difference between life and death he would always say, but it just seemed dramatic. To think these people are the most feared people in all the district. They all seem to take themselves way too seriously in Yuu’s eyes.

“Hey, I want another drink!” A patron slams their hand on the counter trying their best to stay upright. Cleary drunk and the party just started, Riddle probably won’t be very happy that the partygoers are already getting drunk.  

“I’m going to have to cut you off,” Yuu replies cooly passing them a glass of water instead.

“Bullshit get me another shot!-” A large hand slams the patron's head to the counter. Yuu looks up to see a built young man with spikey white hair and wolf ears scowling down at the rude patron. 

“You’ve had enough now go back to your post before Leona catches you.” The young man growls letting go of the patron that Yuu realizes is from SavannaClaw. Their black and glow armband is placed rather sloppily on their suit. The patron curses under his breath holding his forehead as he walks away. The wolfman sits down in the now vacant seat facing Yuu. 

“Sorry about that.” The man rubs the back of his neck rather sheepishly. His eyes not looking at Yuu directly. 

“It's alright, I’ve had worse. Thank you for stepping in.” Yuu gives him a sincere smile going to pick up a glass. 

“Can I get you anything?”

“Uh no, water is just fine. I’m underage.” 

Huh? He’s not trying to trick Yuu as other teens would do. He seems like a very straight-laced guy, which is a bit weird seeing him in a gang. Yuu fills the glass with ice water handing it to the wolf man who jugs it down. 

“Thanks.” He wipes any loose drops away from his mouth. 

“No problem, what’s your name by the way?” 

“Jack, Jack Howl, and yours?” 

“Yuu, just Yuu.” 

He nods at their answer looking around at the crowd. 

“Do you work for Heartslabyul?” 

“No, I’m just catering for the night.” Yuu starts to clean off an empty glass.   

“Really? They usually only hire their own people for stuff like this.” He raises a brow. 

“Well, I’m a special case I guess.” Yuu sighs. 

“Yuu!” A yell comes from an afar as Ace drapes himself on the counter. “I’ve been standing around for hours I need some nourishment! Please make me a special drink.” He whines as Deuce comes up behind him. 

“Ace if you want nourishment there’s a food table,” Yuu states.

“Like I’m going around any food after the tart incident!” He gets up angrily. “Please you are the only one I can trust!” He dramatically holds Yuu’s hand as they just roll their eyes. “Fine, do you want one too Deuce?” Yuu looks over at him as he gives a sheepish nod. 

“Yes please.” He takes a seat with Ace as Yuu gets to work. As the three of them start to talk to each other. 

“Oh, you Jack Howl right?” Deuce perks up. 

“Yes, I am.” 

“I heard a lot about you, this is your first year doing all this stuff like us right?” Ace adds. 

“Yes, I was chosen to Savanaclaw this year.” Jack takes another sip of his drink. 

“We are the same but got chosen for Heartslabyul.” Deuce puffs out his chest. 

Of course, Yuu gives them non-alcoholic drinks each matching the theme the two Heartslaybul members seem to sport. Deuce got a nice mock Blue Lagoon, while Ace gets a refreshing mock strawberry daiquiri. They don’t waste time sipping on the drinks very satisfied with the results.

“When you say chosen? What do you mean?” Yuu is a little curious about their choice of words. Don’t you choose what gang you want to be in? 

“Well, basically there’s like this whole series of tests you have to take before being accepted to even join the top gangs. It takes place every year.” Ace explains. It did ring some sort of bell. 

“Then you get chosen by the magic mirror like they had back at Night Raven before the place blew up.” Deuce adds. “Then you get sorted in what used to be the dorms of the college, but nowadays it's used to sort people into gangs.” 

“Something about tradition and all that jazz.” Ace waves his hand. 

“I see.” Yuu goes to give someone another drink as the party continues. 

The three boys hang out around the bar chatting with Yuu and trying to stay out of everyone’s way. Thankfully the party went on smoothly and now it was time for the dinner portion. An adjacent room is set up with fine cutlery and pristine white tablecloths. Jack, Ace, and Deuce had to leave at that point so did Yuu as they brought out ingredients to make a large patch of drinks for the partygoers. Riddle gave them many instructions on what to serve and had to taste test all the options Yuu had suggested. Yuu would go around filling up everyone’s cups and serve them any drinks that they so chose as the night went on. The dorm leaders all sat at a table in front of the room having a deep discussion. Yuu takes a deep breath knowing at some point they had to go around the table to get orders. They walk over filling Riddle’s cup first with the drink he liked out of all the options for the party. 

“It seems like RSA needs another reminder to stay in their own territory.” Riddle takes a sip of the glass Yuu just poured, smiling at the taste. 

“I’ve seen many of their noisy brats in my territory as of late, they’re probably plotting something.” Leona sighs taking a bite out of his steak. Yuu fills his cup with a fruity, but altogether heavy alcoholic drink. Leona stares Yuu down as they fill his glass. His eyes drilling holes in their head. Yuu know when they're being examined, it's like a predator looking down on its prey. With a tsk, Leona turns his head back to the conversation letting Yuu continue on to the next person. 

“Honsetly I see no problem with it. RSA people have been coming a lot more often to my businesses allowing the overall raise of NRC’s profits so I see no reason to make such a fuss for now.” Azul adjust his glasses. He turns to give Yuu a smile as they pour him some water. 

“Thank you, dear, Azul Ashengrotto if you ever need anything.” He takes out his business card to hand to Yuu. With a small smile, Yuu takes the card and puts it in their back pocket. They know better then getting involved with Ashengrotto’s shady business practice. They have enough to deal with as it is. 

“Excuse me can I please have that drink?” Kalim points to a yellow and orange drink on Yuu’s tray. 

“Of course,” Yuu replies softly pouring the drink for Kalim. 

“Thank you so much,” Kalim takes a sip at the drink lighting up with a smile. “This is amazing did you make this? I have to invite you to come serve drinks like this at my parties.” 

“Kamil let me try it first, and pay attention.” Jamil shakes Kalim’s shoulder getting him to calm down. Jamil waves off Yuu not wanting a drink of any kind as he tastes Kalim’s. 

“Of course, you would only think about money Ashengrotto.” Vil snaps their fingers to get Yuu’s attention. Very irritating, but Yuu gives Vil a public service smile.

“I want your best champagne.” He orders as Yuu gets out the Champagne bottle from the ice bucket pouring it for Vil. He takes a delicate sip his face soon turning into a scowl. 

“Urgh disgusting give me water.” Yuu pours Vil some water instead as he waves them off. 

Next is the robot boy who tells Yuu they don’t need food or drink. 

“Servanillce of RSA has been pretty normal from my point of view.” The tablet in the robot boy's arms speaks. Then lastly is a strange-looking man with pink and black hair in a weird haircut. 

“Could Malleus not come tonight Lilia?” Azul asks from across the table. 

“He is busy tonight, so I’m here in his stead.” Lilia smiles turning to Yuu. “I’ll have the signature drink of tonight please.” 

Yuu pours Lilia his drink as he hums in delight at the taste.     

“Marvelous, I have to tell Sliver and Sebek about this.” He gives Yuu a playful smile as they go back to standing by the wall. 

“Of all the times to not come even when he was invited.” Leona snarks taking a sip of his drink.

“He is deeply sorry and will make it up next time.” Lilia gives Leona a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. “But anyway thank you for the invitation Riddle your parties are always the best.” 

“It's simply my duty to uphold the Queen of Hearts teachings. It's a responsibility I hold dear.” Riddle states raising his glass for Yuu to come to refill it. Yuu does so quickly giving him a good amount before he sets the glass back down. 

“Well it's satisfactory, to say the least, but you could do better with your Champagne collection.” Vil crosses their arms. 

Riddle’s eye twitches at that as Trey and Cater give each other worried looks. 

“But the drink I got is amazing.” Kamil beams. 

“Yes the mixed drinks are very good Vil, you should try some,” Lilia suggests. 

“No, thank you I don’t know what was put in those things.” Vil scuffs. 

“It’s your loss,” Leona smirks jugging the rest of his drink. He leans back in his seat his eyes glancing up at Yuu. 

“Yo, herbivore!” He calls motioning Yuu over to the table. 

Yuu does so by standing by Riddle.

“What’s your name?” 

“Yuu.”

“Did you make this?” 

“Yes, I did.” 

“I don’t remember you getting new members Roshearts.” Leona glares at Riddle. 

“They are simply here to cater, I had a wonderful experience at their establishment.” Riddle smiles giving Yuu a knowing look. 

“Where do they work I would love to visit.” Kamil perks up. 

“The Silver Bullet, a bar downtown in the neutral territory.” Riddle answers sipping his drink. 

“That old place? It’s been closed for years.” Leona chuckles. 

“Well it seems it is open now, such a shame I was hoping to buy that part of downtown for a new business venture.” Azul sighs, glaring at Yuu. 

If the conversation could change the subject that would be great for Yuu’s frantic heart. 

“What’s so great about drinks anyway, let's just finish this I have a busy schedule.” The voice from the tablet, who Yuu guesses is Idia lets out an exacerbated sigh.

“Playing games is not really busy work.” Azul shakes his head. 

“As I was saying we need to respond to RSA actions.” Riddle ahems the group. Yuu could already see a vein starting to pop out of his head. 

“Unless RSA is directly trying to start conflict we best leave it alone. Any direct action could cause a misunderstanding. Besides I don’t need worry lines.” Vil crosses his arms. 

“I agree RSA is a pain to deal with on the regular unless we have more reason to deal with them I recommend not getting involved,” Azul adds.

“ As long as they don't cross the line, we won't either.” Leona leans back in the chair. 

Riddle lets out a sigh at their answers seeing that it was enough for now. 

Yuu thinks for a minute about the information. RSA or Royal Sword Academy is the other side of the coin from NRC. All be it the more shiny and safe side, RSA is the other half of the Grim Court known for its astonishing academy and its resources. Yuu has thought about someday moving to the countryside of RSA and buying a cottage to live out the rest of their days, it just feels right. 

It is common knowledge that the RSA and NRC  do not get along, the feud between them has been going on since the great seven days. The RSA police force and the NRC gangs have been at each other's throats for a long time, however, the conflict has not broken out since the fall of Night Raven College. Since then it's been a few scraps and territory disputes from what Trein would tell them. As long as it didn’t affect Yuu’s daily life it wasn’t their problem, though it did irk them a bit at the consistent fighting its like a bunch of children fighting over toys. At the end of the day, it’s the civilians that suffer.

Since the conversation starts to get heavy at the leader’s table Yuu goes around the room to see who needs drinks. A hand catches their attention as a boy with lavender locks and baby-blue eyes sits at a table with a flamboyant blonde man. Yuu pulls their tray over seeing the boy look away when they make eye contact.

“Excuse me can I please have?-” They whisper in Yuu’s ear very soft and sweet. 

“Of course.” Yuu gets to work making a non-acholic apple martini. Crewel and Sam as taught them many tricks to get extra tips as they showcased them for the table. The blonde man claps each time Yuu finishes a trick until the drink is done. 

“Here you go, sir.” Yuu sets the drink on the table. 

“You can just call me Epel.” He downs the drink letting out a deep sigh. “Thank you that helped a lot.” 

“Beaute! 100 points!” The man yells making the two jump.

“Rook, geez don’t do that.” The boy glares.

“Sorry Monsieur Crabapple, I just couldn't help it. Monsieur Trickster is truly remarkable.” He sings. 

Now Yuu gets a weird nickname? Great, hopefully, they never see this man again. Epel thanks Yuu for the drink as they push the cart to another part of the room.

“Human over here!” Yuu turns to the sound of the voice as does everyone else in the vicinity. A man with bright green hair and an intense stare stands up from his table. Yuu rushes over to him so he doesn’t cause a scene. Next to him is another man, but with silver hair and a sleepy expression.

“Sebek don’t yell it's rude.” The sleepy man yawns. 

“Don’t boss me around Silver! I need to be attentive to Master Lilia’s needs, unlike some people.” He glares, his sharp teeth showing through his scowl. “Human!” He shouts at Yuu again. 

“Y-yes?” 

“I need my glass of water refilled with haste!” He shows Yuu the empty glass holding it out to them. 

“Oh okay.” Yuu fills his glass to the top. 

“Thank you. You may leave now!” He sits back down. 

Yuu walks away quickly glad this party is about to end.

As the night went on the crowd decreased in number until the hall was ready to be cleaned for the night. Yuu washes the bar’s glasses and counters, letting out a stretch at a job well done.

“Hey, Yuu.” Deuce jogs over to the bar letting out deep pants. “I’m ready to take you home.” He rests on the counter’s edge. 

“Thank you again, Deuce.” Deuce is how Yuu got to the venue in the first place. He has a magic wheel he built himself, and it's pretty fast to get around the districts. Yuu makes sure they have their things as they follow Deuce to the parking lot. Yuu couldn’t help but yawn when they stepped out into the cool night air. 

“Tired?” Deuce takes out his keys. 

“Yeah extremely, that was exhausting.” Yuu hops on the backseat of the bike as Deuce gets situated in the front. 

“Thank you for coming, again I don’t think it would have gone smoothly without you.” He starts the vehicle up. 

“No problem-” Yuu gets jerked back as Deuce takes off. Once they get time to settle the ride is rather peaceful as they make it back to the bar safe and sound. 

“Home sweet home.” Yuu sighs getting off the magic wheel. “Thank you, Deuce, have a good night.” Yuu wraps the man in a tight embrace before heading inside. 

“B-bye Yuu…” Deuce stutters.

Yuu doesn’t notice how red Deuce gets as he drives away in a hurry. 

Yuu is greeted by a dark bar and then an apartment when they head upstairs. Grim sleeps soundly on the couch with his food bowl in the kitchen licked clean. With heavy eyelids and sore arms, Yuu takes a quick shower flopping into bed soon after, listening to the sounds of the city.

The ground shakes under Yuu as they jolt awake to the sound of screams and glass falling on the ground. They fall out of their bed hearing the sound of Grim yowling as they scramble to the front room to see the poor kitty hunched in fear. Yuu dashes across the room grabbing Grim under their arm as they hide under the coffee table curling into a fetal position. Grim cries loudly with each shake as it sounds like the world is falling around them. The explosions go on for what feels like hours until it stops. The sound of car alarms and people screaming are all that remain. Yuu sticks their head out from under the table looking around to see if the coast is clear. 

“Grim!” The cat had enough of getting hugged in a tight grip as he escapes from Yuu’s hold. Yuu makes their way out from under the table to follow the feline finding him hiding under their bed. That’s when they look out the window in shock pulling it open to see the towers of smoke rising all across NRC.

Never Has and Never Will Be | Vil Schoenheit X Reader (Valentine's Special)

Prompt: “It’s always been you, and it will always be you. Please never forget that.”

Synopsis: Vil had many different types of fans. Some, unfortunately zealous in their determination to gain his affections. It came with the territory. But he had never thought they would go after his lover in such a way.

Extra: The reader is not Yuu. The Reader is also gender-neutral in this. Hurt/comfort.

Vil sat down beside (Y/n) watching as they bawled their eyes out. Gently, slowly, as not to startle them, he pulled out a handkerchief from his vest and wiped the tears away from (Y/n)'s face. They didn't lean away from him, but they also refused to look at him.

The action or rather the non-action hurt more than anything. Vil knew (Y/n) normally didn't act like this. Then again, they didn't normally bawl their eyes out either. Vil also knew this wasn't just them being sensitive, they had much more thick skin then most, they just finally cracked under the pressure.

First were the tabloids. The one's with Vil paired up with some other model or actor, one where the writer would paint the image as if Vil was having an affair. Or that they were a match made, even though none of them held a candle to Vil's actual lover. To his (Y/n).

There were even more tabloids after that. Instead these one's out right attacking (Y/n)'s image. Attempting to paint them in a bad light. Vil had attempted to sue for slander, but they had gotten out of it due to certain complications and specifics. Vil knew that this was the way of the social industry, but he couldn't help but be frustrated.

And then came the harassment. Vil did what he could about the stuff he knew, but he knew there was a lot being kept from him. A lot that (Y/n) didn't tell him about. He'd seen the messages, the letters, had heard people whispering to-and-fro amongst themselves once he had got to pick (Y/n) up from somewhere.

Almost as if for a final blow, the News had announced Vil's role, a role he never officially agreed to playing, in an upcoming series with him as a love interest to one of the actresses the News has been trying to sell as his mistress. Had made uncouth comments to (Y/n) in comparison. It hadn't helped that the actress in question had actually accepted the role and was gushing over it to multiple News outlets. Not that they had ever mentioned Vil's name in question, but it had been enough.

And now, Vil was beside his lover, in their room, as they were bawling their eyes out. Selfishly, Vil couldn't help but think they also looked beautiful like this. Even covered in snot and tears as they were.

"Now, now, whatever is the matter dearest?" Vil asked. He already knew. But he wanted to hear it from their lips. He wanted them to ask him to do something to the people that dare slander them. Not to say that Vil hasn't tried all that he can, but he wants them to rely on him. Wants them to give him the opportunity to support them publicly, with them by his side.

"It's stupid..." (Y/n) mumbled. Vil frowned at them, upset and worried. The last thing he wanted was for them to close themselves off.

"It's not stupid if it's upset you in such a way. Now, what is it?" Vil pressed once more. Already planning on ordering chocolates and running a nice hot bath for (Y/n) to relax in later.

"I-It's just--" They broke down all over again. "It's like no one actually believes were together--or-or they question why you’re with me! Saying how any number of people would be a better match! They're always commenting on my appearance, what I'm wearing, what I'm eating! I can't get a moment of peace no matter where I go!" They choked up over their own words. "And sometimes I think that they're right. That you would be better with someone else...."

Vil couldn't help the scoff that left his lips. It wasn't derogatory, not in any manner. He would never use such a tone with (Y/n). But rather, it was a scoff of disbelief.

"I only love you and will always love you. And just you. It’s always been you, and it will always be you. Please never forget that." Vil pleaded. "It will never be anyone else. It never has been and it never will be." Vil coaxed, placing a gently kiss on (Y/n)'s eyelids, pulling them into his embrace.

Tomorrow he would call his manager and open a lawsuit. And he would keep doing it until it stuck. But for now, with his lover in his arms, this would be enough.

Do you think Crowley has a dominion type of UM?

With the last post of it from @prince-kallisto it really got me thinking about it.

If he is maintaining wonderland, and probably encapsulating it or maintaining the bubble it is in. Then is he capable of sending Yuu back on his own or does he still need those variables (seeing as your theory is that he is the Twst mad hatter, just raven flavored. Mickey the dorm mouse, Silver was the mad hare if I remember correctly)

Then did he just open up a part of wonderland through the mirror and send the black carriage to bring Yuu. Accidentally killed them, and they just reanimated them but without their soul, and that’s why the mirror says that Yuu is empty….

Does that mean Yuu could die if they go back? Because Crowley is keeping them “alive” by their own magic, because he said “Nah, they ain’t dead here” and because magic is shaped by imagination and it’s Crowley twisted wonderland or he is maintaining it….

And when Yuu’s purpose in this play is over they just die or something worse.

Am I just going too much on the edges about this or?

Hello! Sorry for a long reply. Since you seems like having so much questions in one ask, let's break it down:

"Do you think Crowley has dominion type of UM?"

Though that post does mention about Crowley maintaining Twisted Wonderland, I still have a different opinion about it. If it's me (who usually based my analysis on Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass), that Realm Dominance magic isn't his magic but rather, the real Maleficent's blessing from the real Maleficent herself which her image was reflected in the mirror when the very first time we played the game. So when he said "flower of evil", it's to summon Maleficent herself because she is "Mistress of All Evil". He was simply "borrowing" her magic and used it on Yuu.

But how can he "borrow" it? This is where his real UM comes to play. Since he is a Hatter from Through The Looking Glass, his UM is called "Perspective" which is actually based on Mad Hatter from live action Disney game.

This "Perspective" with mirror as its medium can do two things:

1. Visualize pictures/images into reality (he did it to make the magic coming from Maleficent's reflection in the dark mirror into reality)

2. Wrap Yuu through the Dark Mirror onto the other side of Yuu's world

About the second one, what he warped wasn't Yuu's body but rather, their soul. But how it can be like that and how "exactly" did he do it? This will have something to do with Dormouse (the sleeping mouse) riddle and the rabbit hole riddle from Alice in Wonderland (which I'll going to explain another time)

You can read more explanation about this "perspective" UM here

"Is he capable of sending Yuu back on his own or does he still need help?"

For this it will entirely depend on Yana how she will create the story. But based on my analysis there are 3 possibilities:

1. Crowley would still need the variables, with someone representing as "time" to break the loop (in this case it's Yuu themselves because in Mad Tea Party, Mad Hatter can finally measure mathematicaly when Alice comes using her age which is 7). This is if she follows the Alice in Wonderland one

2. Crowley doesn't need help, but he will not do anything either. Because eventually they will go back to their own world once they defeat Grim. This one is based on Through The Looking Glass where Alice defeated Red Queen to go back to her own world, which later this Red Queen turns out to be her own black cat named Kitty. Personally this second possibility is what I think twst is close to, with Grim has the role of both Red Queen and Red King. Though this does raise another question what is Crowley's intention for doing this (which admittedly I still don't know up to this point)

3. Ace and Deuce will help Yuu to "break that world triggered by Crowley's magic"

This is due to the fact that both Ace and Deuce are trump cards from their respective decks of French deck and German deck which technically can overthrow the structure that maintains wonderland.

"Did Crowley accidentally killed Yuu and reanimated them but without their soul?"

Based on my own analysis, Crowley didn't kill Yuu but more like it's really their time to go and he is more like just doing his task as the personification of time. (this again refers to the Mad Hatter from mythological perspective). The hint is there in his bio about his favorite food, but I will explain that some other time.

The reason why Dark Mirror can't identify Yuu's soul is because it's already their soul that's coming to Twisted Wonderland. Because their real body is in their own world.

So when Yuu's role in Twisted Wonderland is over, they will go back to their own world and wake up from their dream, much like how Alice is going back to her own world in both Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass.

Does Yuu have a job in the future like do they end up being like the permanent ‘therapist’ at nrc? (They aren’t licensed but they DO have a golf club and only Sebek has tried to take it from them and failed spectacularly) or is it kinda like an Adonis situation and Yuu spends like a third of the year with Malleus, a third with Azul, and a third with Jamil and Yuu’s just kinda a house spouse/bringer of chaos

Yuu actually becomes a historian/archeologist for nearly a decade after they graduate NRC. They're actually a little history buff and Twists history is like fairytales to them so they soak the info up easily.

They actually spent like 6 months out of the year doing dig sights and exploring dangerous ruins with their team. The other 6 months was resting/staying with the closest boyfriend and them all visiting each other.

Jamil has 10 children with Yuu because they were lowkey getting real reckless while on those dangerous ruin excursions and nearly dying each time they went on one, and the only method they had to keep them in a safer location for more than like a week was to have Yuu be pregnant.

But by baby no. 8 Crowley had approached her to take his position as headmaster of NRC. So, within my future arc, Yuu becomes the first magicless Head Mistress of NRC. So funny enough, she does kind of assume her role has NRC therapist, except now she's getting paid!

@preciousangelyu got mika!! ( my feral au )

White cape lifted in the wind and the blonde felt his mouth ache, his fangs were causing his gums to swell as they throbbed. He needed blood, but simply refused to take from Humans, and had even ran from Krul ( his mistress ) and stayed far from Ferid and the other vampires, simply wanting to protect his family ( Yuu and the others he had known for a while. ) A gloved hand balled into a fist as the thirst grew rapidly, his eyes beginning to shine a deep crimson ( more than his usual color. )

Mika panted, gripping his throat with fingers, wishing he could just tear it out and bleed to death, if only to stop the damned hunger he had for blood. He had to find Yuu, they'd know what to do, but he was afraid, as the pull of the desire for blood was stronger than it had been, and Mika didn't wish to hurt his family.

Eyes were puffed from tears, and his throat was red from scratching with his gloves off. He had already been away from the Humans, his family just because he knew it was happening, but now he needed some kind of help, however scary it might be.

Day 1: Yuu/MC/Your OC and Sleeping Beauty

Yes, I'm an idiot and thought it was a great idea to try (keyword:Try!) to do both Twistober prompt list cause why not..so that what I'm doing...I hope it okay. Also, any black people who see this, I hope I did a decent job on the hair. I try my best.

The girl on the left is named Violet she a oc I'm working on, so her current design is like a beta design so far.

As for the one on the right, I don't have a name for him, but he is based on the character from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, named Conall. Yeah, not actually from the original movie but still in the Sleeping Beauty world, and he looks cool, so yeah.

Hope it turns out okay!
