[steddie-as-they-come]

Steve's pinning his polaroids up on his wall when his new roommate walks in.

Steve's immediate thought is oh, I'm gonna hate this guy.

Shaggy hair, leather jacket, rings glinting off his fingers, electric guitar slung over his back. Hot as hell, but compared to Steve's polos and perfectly coiffed hair, they could not be more different.

The guy looks like he had the same thought. His shoulders slump as he takes in Steve's appearance.

A man comes in behind his roommate, toting a suitcase full of clothes. "Oh, are you Eddie's roommate?" he says to Steve, who shakes himself out of his thoughts.

"Yes, I am." he says politely. "I'm Steve Harrington."

The man sets down the suitcase. "Wayne Munson." he offers, shaking Steve's hand. "I'm Eddie's uncle."

He nudges Eddie forward, who lets out an almost inaudible groan. "Eddie." he says snippily, shaking Steve's hand.

This'll be a fun year, Steve thinks.

They don't talk. Steve didn't think he was going to be best friends with whoever he got saddled with, but he thought they could at least be civil to each other. Their room is split down the middle. Eddie's half is absolutely covered in posters and music and cutouts of magazines. Steve's is...almost as blank as his room back home.

He misses the shitheads.

No one can ever tell them that. They'll get even more insufferable.

Once or twice, when Steve comes back from a class, he'll catch Eddie peering at Steve's pictures, but he’ll jump away before Steve can call him out on it. It's awful. Steve misses Robin.

It takes him a horribly long amount of time to stop flinching awake at every little sound. He'd stored his nailbat under his bed, out of sight of Eddie, but every time someone yells in the hallway or shouts in the room next door, Steve startles awake, already grabbing his bat. Luckily, Eddie sleeps like the dead, because Steve's not sure he'd be able to explain the weapon without breaking his NDA.

It's three A.M., early November, when there's a knock on their door. Steve isn't asleep yet, so he stands and answers it.

Eight people pile in, talking in hushed whispers. They slam into him, knocking him over.

In the middle of the hug, Steve counts his kids. It's Dustin, nestled against his side, then Lucas, El, and Will under his arm, Max draped over his back, Erica leaning into his shoulder, and Mike on the very outskirts of the group. He pulls them all in tighter, and they all yelp and squawk at him.

"Let us go, Steve!" Erica says, annoyed.

"Nope." Steve says. "You came to find me at three in the morning, you can tolerate a hug."

"Shoo, move." another voice says, and all the kids part like the sea. Robin pushes her way through the group and hugs him tightly. "I don't know how you do it." she says to Steve. "Driving all these nerds around, it's exhausting."

He buries his face in her hair. "Missed you, Robbie." he mumbles.

She leans her head against his. "Missed you too, dingus."

Steve pulls back. "You got your license!"

"I did!" Robin jingles her keys happily.

Eddie sits up, and everyone in the room freezes. "Wha's happenin'?" he slurs sleepily. Then he registers all the people in the room. "Whoa, what the fuck?"

Steve stands up, brushing himself off. "I'm sorry, man, I didn't know they were coming." He shoots a glare at the group, who looks appropriately cowed. Minus Dustin. Steve can now see whose idea this was.

Eddie swings out of bed. "No, it's- wait, are these the kids from your polaroids?"

"Yeah," Steve says. "Dustin, Mike, Lucas, Will, El, Max, Erica, and this is my best friend Robin."

"Awww, you have polaroids of us?" Max teases over his shoulder. "That's sweet."

Steve reaches behind him and tussles her hair, shoving her gently. "Shut up, shithead."

"Your room is cool." Mike says. "Not Steve's side. But this part is cool!"

Steve glares at Mike, but Eddie grins big. "Thanks! I'm Eddie Munson." He shakes Mike's hand.

"Is that a DnD poster?" Will says. "That's amazing!"

"It certainly is!" Eddie says. "I used to DM back in high school. Played a bit too."

The nerdier section of the group reacts appropriately, oohing and ahhing, while Max and Erica just roll their eyes and nudge each other.

Steve hesitates. “I know these guys don’t really do anything on Saturday afternoons, and I think they���ve been wanting to start another campaign. Would you mind if they come up, maybe every weekend, and you can…” he doesn’t know enough about DnD “…run a game for them?”

Eddie looks amused. “You mean DM a campaign?”

“Yeah, that.” It’s an olive branch that Steve’s offering.

Eddie takes it. “Well, how can I turn that down? Sheepies of the Harrington flock, how would you like to join a new campaign?”

“I’ll keep the rest of you occupied,” Steve mutters as the guys (and El) start talking excitedly. “Max, Rob, you guys wanna find the closest arcade and set some new high scores?”

“Only one person will be setting high scores.” Max says, gesturing to herself, but she looks excited at the prospect.

Steve lets Eddie and the kids talk for a couple more minutes, then claps his hands. “Okay, it is three in the morning and I have a nine A.M. class tomorrow SO! I have enough blankets for all of you to sleep on the floor if Eddie doesn’t mind-“ Eddie shrugs. “Or Rob can drive you back home.”

Steve looks around and Robin is already in his bed, cuddled up like the blanket hog she is. “Okay, well, sleepover here it is then.”

He whisks out his ungodly amount of throw blankets (courtesy of Joyce’s knitting spree) and the kids get together in their usual movie-night-at-Steve’s cuddle position.

Will’s got his head on Mike’s shoulder, Lucas next to Mike, Max leaning on Lucas, El’s head in Max’s lap and her legs thrown over Dustin’s lap, and Erica with her back against Dustin’s shoulder. Sometimes Robin and Steve are wedged into the pile somewhere, but just as often they’re tangled up under six different blankets across the room, which is why Steve whispers “Scoot over, dumbass,” as he climbs into bed next to Robin.

Eddie watches them assume their positions with an expression of what could be awe on his face. “When I saw those pictures,” he whispered, “I thought they were like your siblings? Or maybe old pictures of your friends. I didn’t think you were a soccer mom.”

Steve glares at him, but unlike earlier in the year, there’s no heat behind it. “Hope you like coparenting then, because these guys need to be watched 24/7 or they’ll run off and start the apocalypse.”

Eddie laughs like it’s a joke. To him it is. He hops back into bed. “Goodnight, weird little family.”

The kids murmur a collective sleepy goodnight, and Steve shuts his eyes.

It’s the most relaxed he’s felt since he moved in.

Mafia AU: The Ramshackle Bartender [Male Yuu Variant]

Summary/Inspiration/Credit/Thanks: [Link] by @sweetbunpura [Hope you like it, Boss.]

Male Yuu Variant OC [My Art]: [Link] (I'll draw Human Grim Later)

Word Count: 3,906

[Ramshackle Bar & Kitchen - Tuesday - 7:25 P.M.]

The pale, tanned fingers of a fingerless, gloved hand grasped the bottom of the sign attached to the door by a string woven into two holes at the sign's upper corners. The sign was then flipped around until the words "We're Open - Come On In" were facing the inside, while the "We're Closed - Come Back Later" was facing the outside world. This was to inform passersby that the Ramshackle Bar was closed at that hour and they wouldn't find the liquid courage or buzz to unwind from a stressful day on this day.

The floorboards of the bar were pressed against the soles of black boots that walked along them as those same gloved hands reached to the window blinds drawstrings to lower them to the sills before the rod was turned to close the blinds. This process was repeated 5 more times until all 6 of the bar's windows were closed before an exhausted exhale escaped the scarred lips of the young man as he stuffed his hands into his pockets before turning on the heel of his boot and walking over to the bar where a younger male sat counting from the register tray as well as the tip jar from the day's patrons.

"How are we looking today, Grim?" The Head Bartender asked the younger version of his bloodline who smiled up at him after the last bill was counted.

"We got 53,000 Madols from the register & 17,500 Madols from the Tip Jar. I think this is going to be the best day for this week since we've been getting a whole lot of walking money bags coming in that Phone Addict's Videos." Grim, the younger male, explained that he had placed the Tip Money in a separate stack from the rest of the money. "What's the move, Big Bro?"

"How much do we owe Crewel?" The Elder asked as Grim jumped out of the stool he was sitting on, reaching under the bar for the locked cash box he was looking for, and placed it on the bar's surface before pulling the small silver key from around his neck and opening it revealing stacks of money secured in different colored bands and a small black notebook.

Grim reached into the box and grabbed the notebook, opened it on the bookmarked page, and scanned his blue eyes down the page before he found the information his elder brother asked for.

"We still gotta pay 186,956 Madols before Dad lets us own this place. We already got this month's payment of 20,000 Madols ready to give to him for the Family Dinner this Sunday." Grim explained as he looked into the box to look at the stack of money with the '20,000' Money Mark in a Red Band.

"Take 10,000 from the Tip Money and add it to this month's payment money; it wouldn't hurt to send him another 10,000 Madols with this month's payment since the rest of the bills have been paid and the supplies for the bar and kitchen have been paid for; we're just waiting on delivery at this point." The Elder Brother said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his pocket watch, using his thumb to open it to reveal the watch's face as well as the picture of Crewel, Grim, and himself on the day they were adopted from the orphanage. "It's almost 8. I better get started on the drinks."

"I can start with the food, Yuu." Grim said as he counted out the proper amount of money, placed it in a band with a stamp, and placed it in the box with the other payment money before he returned the notebook to the box, closed & locked it, and returned it to where he got it from before getting a second lock box to place the rest of the money inside.

"Thanks, Grim." Yuu said as he tugged on his fingerless gloves before he gathered the materials for the drinks while his younger brother headed off to the kitchen to start cooking the food for tonight's event.

[Timeskip: 7:55 P.M.]

Yuu placed the final drink on the bar's surface closest to the entrance; knowing who was going to arrive first since he always entered the bar before everyone else, it's just who he was. He then added a metal toothpick, piercing two strawberries on the rim of the glass filled with the creamy pink drink, all while the smell of food flowed from the kitchen through the serving window. Yuu looked over his shoulder to see his younger brother prepping 24 bowls of white rice on the large table in the middle of the kitchen, with steak stripes cooking on the griddle stove at low-medium heat behind him.

Yuu pulled out his pocket watch, opened it with his thumb once again to lift the cover, and checked the time: 7:59 P.M. and the second hand was coming close to the full minute mark.

That's when the sound of tires coming to a stop and multiple car doors opening filled Yuu's ears.

He closed his pocket watch just as the door of the bar flew open and the bell above the door rang as the Former Crimson Tyrant marched into Ramshackle Bar with his gloved hand gripping his scepter while calling to his underlings behind him.

"For the last time, we're not doing that, Cater." Riddle exhaled as he walked over to the bar where the drinks waiting and Yuu placed his fingers along the side of the glass and pushed it over to Riddle as the Leader of Heartslabyul. reached out for his drink as the orange-haired boy with a diamond in his face called out to his leader.

"Come on, Riddle! It's a perfect idea to raise more funds!" Cater called out to his leader from behind Heartslabyul's Vice.

"Not everyone is addicted to MagiCam like you are, Cater!" Riddle exclaimed as one hand grasped his drink and the other held his scepter.

"A majority is, Boss." Cater smiled, but Riddle just exhaled while shaking his head before he lifted the drink to his lips, taking and sip before sighing in relief when the favor hit his tongue, looking at Yuu with a softness in his blue eyes.

"Perfect. Just as it's meant to be. You know exactly what I need when I need it, Yuu. I knew I could count on you." Riddle said with a small smile to the Bartender of Ramshackle, who placed his hand over his heart in a mock bow.

"I am at your service, My Queen. Please, take a load off; dinner shall be served soon." Yuu said.

"Hamburgers?" Riddle asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Never on a Tuesday, My Queen." Yuu clarified with a shake of his head causing Riddle to exhale in relief.

"Greatly appreciated, Yuu." Riddle took another sip of his drink before turning to walk off to his booth, "This day was stressful and the night will be even more so. I shall need more of these."

"I am waiting for your call, My Queen." Yuu's silver eyes looked at the Clover-Faced Vice Leader before sliding his drink to him who smiled at him and took the drink before sliding a Tupperware Container of desserts to Yuu across the bar. "Thanks, Trey."

No, thank you." Trey said as he held up his drink to take a sip, "I needed this." With that, Trey walked off to join Riddle in the booth.

"Hey, Yuu-kun! What kind of magic is Grim-chan making in the kitchen?!" Cater asked with his phone secured in his right hand.

"He's making Beef Steak Stripe & Rice Bowls with Garlic Steak Sauce with Bread Rolls with Honey Butter & Steak Fries on the side." Yuu said as he gently pushed Cater's Drink to the Diamond's open hand.

"Oh! I can't wait!" Cater smiled as he walked off to his favorite selfie spot in Ramshacke's Serving Area.

Yuu watched as the first two people he interacted with in the Heartslabyul Mafia walked over to him with light bruises on their faces, "Let me guess: You both got on Riddle's Nerves?"

"It was Ace's Fault!" Deuce barked out.

"No, it wasn't!" Ace barked back.

"If you had done your part in painting the roses red, then we wouldn't have been punished." Deuce glared at Ace.

"Well, maybe you should have reminded me!" Ace growled at his fellow first year.

"I did! Over 5 Times!!!" Deuce growled as the two of them glared daggers at each other before Yuu snapped his fingers to gain their attention and slid their drinks over to them.

"Stop barking like hounds and drink these; I don't need any rolling heads on my clean wood floors." Yuu said to his friends who huffed, grabbed their drinks, and walked off to their table.

[Timeskip: 8:20 P.M.]

Yuu placed the final drink of the new set of 3, one of them being non-acholic before he leaned against the wall near the serving window with his arms folded as his keen ears picked up on the sound of another car pulling up; 3 doors opened but one door slammed closed before striding steps marched for the door with the sound of angry ranting and amused snickering before the door slammed open and the Leader of Savanaclaw marched in with the heels of his combat boots hammered against the wooden floor before he reached the bar, snatched his drink and took a gulp; shivering in his skin as the burning alcohol burned his throat, sent chills down his spine, and throughout his body.

"Who pissed you off this time, Siree?" Yuu asked as he slid another drink to Leona after he finished off the one in his grip before he placed the empty glass on the bar and grabbed the new one with a growling exhale.

"Something is wrong with that fucking mirror, I swear to the Seven! I got some useless ass members in my crew and it pisses me off to no end, Herbivore!" He growled out as he ran his empty hand through his hair before huffing, "Where's the fucking bottle?"

"Right here, Siree." Yuu said as he placed the bottle on the table which was quickly snatched up by Leona.

"Let me know when that runt is done with dinner." Leona snarled as he slapped 300 Madols on the bar before marching off to the couch and started drinking his frustrations away as he refilled the glass in his possession with the bottle. Yuu exhaled as he placed the money in the secondary lock box before he called out.

"Ruggie, step away from the kitchen door." Yuu's voice caused the stealth hyena to freeze up as he attempted the push open the kitchen door to steal a few bites of dinner from Grim.

"Come on, just a bite!" Ruggie pouted.

"No." Yuu deadpanned.

"But, I'm hungry! I didn't even eat lunch!" Ruggie whined.

"There are donuts in the microwave in the break room. Eat those." Yuu said as he started cleaning the glass in his hand that Leona drank from a while ago.

"I'll marry you one day, Yuu!" Ruggie yelled as he bolted into the break room to scarf down the donuts.

"Can I be your best man?" Jack questioned with a smirk as he grabbed his drink.

"Sorry, that wedding has been canceled." Yuu said with a sideways smirk.

Jack simply chuckled as he walked off, allowing Yuu to finish cleaning the glass before he looked up at the clock on the wall.

'They are also going to be here… Better do my hand exercises."

[Timeskip: 8:30 P.M.]

The bell above the door rings rapidly singaling that someone opened the door rather quickly and rushed footsteps zoomed in on Yuu as he had his back turned to the door while cleaning one of the tables to keep himself busy when the ear-piercing chant of 'SHRIMPY!!!' called out before he shot out his right fist in a backhand motion, it came in contact with someone cheek and sent them crashing to the ground with a grunt; Riddle watching from his booth smirked at the sight before looking over at Yuu.

"I'll give that one an 8.5." Riddle smiled at Yuu.

"Thank you, My Queen." Yuu looked at Riddle before glaring down at the mentally disturbed man on the ground rubbing his cheek. "Did you learn your lesson?"

"You're so mean, Shrimpy! I just wanted a hug!" The sharp-toothed man whined like a child.

"I've warned you on numerous occasions not to try to squeeze me because I hate being touched without permission. It's your fault I knocked the hell out of you, Floyd." Yuu said as he grabbed his rag and walked back behind the bar while looking at the other two men standing by the bar with their drinks in hand.

"The Prefect has warned you multiple times about suddenly touching him, Floyd." Jade Leech smiled before taking a sip from his glass.

"It's not my fault that Shrimpy is so damn huggable!!!" Floyd yelled as he stood up and walked over to his drink, grabbing it, and chugging it down.

"Hello, My Dear Prefect. How are you doing this evening?" The Head of Octavinelle, Azul Ashengrotto, questioned Yuu as the bartender leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

"It would have been better if you didn't send numerous texts to my phone, asking me the same damn question when I have given you the same answer to that question more than 100 times." Yuu huffed out the last part but it only caused Azul to chuckle at his words.

"Come now, Prefect. You would have a less stressful life if you just signed over control of Ramshackle to me and come work under me; you can keep working here and I'll even keep the name the same, it will just be a mere branch to the Mostro Lounge. I'll give you more benefits, days off, higher pay, whatever you want, Yuu; all you have to do is sign the contract and work for me. Join us under Octavinelle's Banner." Azul smiled at Yuu who looked at him with an uninterested look.

"Does a chicken wear underwear?" Yuu asked.

"To the best of my knowledge, no. Chickens do not wear underwear." Azul answered.

"And, there's your answer." Yuu said before he walked off.

"I'll get you one day, Yuu. You'll join Octavinelle." Azul swore before taking a swing of his drink.

[Time: 8:35 P.M.]

"Jewel!!!" The door opened up and rapid footsteps blotted at Yuu before thin arms were wrapped around Yuu's Waist and a face was nuzzling into his chest, causing him to look down at the white-haired Head of the Scarabia Mafia.

"Hello, Kalim." Yuu greeted to smaller male with a smile smile, much to the disdain of a certain twin.

"Hey! What the hell, Shrimpy?! You won't let me get a squeeze, but that Sea Otter gets a squeeze AND a nuzzle?! That's not fair!!!" Floyd called from his place at the table that Octavinelle loved using in Ramshackle's Bar.

"Because I like him more than you, Floyd." Yuu confessed in a deadpanned voice as he lightly patted the back of the Asim Heir as the door opened again and Jamil Viper walked in with a suitcase. "Well met, Jamil."

"Well met, Prefect. How's business?" Jamil asked while claiming his regular drink and taking a good swing out of it before collecting Kalim's Drink (Not a drop of Adult Beverage for the Sunbeam) and walking over to their table. "Kalim, leave the Prefect alone. He is very busy. Come enjoy the drink he made you."

"Coming, Jamil!" Kalim cheered as he gave Yuu one more hug before following Jamil to their table, leaving Yuu to continue what he was doing while Jade was patting his brother's back as Floyd cried about how unfair his shrimpy was.

[Timeskip: 8:40 P.M.]

"Big Brother, the food is ready and I have them in heat shields." Grim stopped for a while before he started sniffing the air with a raised eyebrow, "Why do I smell overly expensive perfume and designer clothes?" Grim questioned as he walked out of the kitchen while taking off his apron as his elder brother was finishing off 3 more drinks, placing them on the bar before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his pocket watch to view the time like some badass who doesn't have time for a lot of shit.

[Newsflash: He doesn't.]

"Considering the time, that must mean that Pomefiore is about to wake in." And the moment he said that, the door opened and an overly enthusiastic called out to him like a lover in one of those love stories.

"MON TRICKSTER! THE BREATH OF MY LIFE! I HAVE COME TO RESCUE YOU FROM THE BORDOM THAT IS YOUR LIFE! SHOULD YOU ACCEPT LOVELY VIL'S INVITATION AFTER THIS NIGHT'S MEETING, EVERYTHING SHALL FIT TOGETHER LIKE PUZZLE PIECES!!!" Rook called out but Yuu just handed him a drink and walked off, "Oh, you are so cold, Mon Trickster! Why must you hide your beautiful heart from us?!"

"Why must you hurt everyone's ears with your loud ass voice, you walking French stick?!" Leona called from the couch.

"I was certain that was Sebek's Job." Yuu said before placing drinks for Vil and Epel on the bar and turned around as the two of them walked over to claim them.

"Dear Potato, I can see that you have made a few changes to your establishment." Vil said as he looked around Ramshackle, noticing the subtle changes that were made since the last time he was here, such as the replaced floor boards & new wallpaper. "It's a shame that you didn't change the color, however…"

"We've been over this, Vil. Gray is Grim's Favorite Color so we went with his choice." Yuu said as he started cleaning another glass.

"Are you sure it ain't because that's the color of his hair?" Epel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"His choice, not my place to ask. It's only fair he got to choose." Yuu said.

"Selfless… That is truly one of the most beautiful traits about you, Sweet Potato. I shall be in my booth. Thank you for the drink, as always." With that, Vil walked away as Epel sat on one of the bar stools and started chatting up the Crewel Brothers.

[Timeskip: 8:50 P.M.]

"Is Idia not going to attend this time?" Yuu asked the Younger of the Shroud Brothers, Ortho as he hovered in front of him.

"Not this time around. Something was wrong with the Hades Tablet and he just wanted me to drop this off for the meeting." Ortho says as he hands Yuu a folder, trusting that he will not open it but hand it to Riddle when it is time for the meeting to start.

"I'll be sure to give it to Riddle when the Housewarden Meeting starts." Yuu said before placing the folder near the lock boxes on the second row of the bar.

"Oh, Big Brother wanted me to ask if you and Grim were going to come over this weekend for the Gaming and Anime Marathon?" Ortho asked with excitement laced in his voice.

"Sorry, Ortho, not this time. Grim and I have a Family Dinner this weekend and we have other business to attend to, but we'll attempt to make it there next week." Yuu explained.

"Oh… That's unfortunate. Well, I'll tell Big Brother; I'm sure he will understand. See you later, Big Brothers!" Ortho said as he hugged Yuu and Grim before hovering out of the door.

Yuu exhaled and looked at the clock.

Just one left.

[Timeskip: 8:58 P.M.]

"It's almost time for the meeting! Where the hell is the Lizard and his Minions?!" Leona growled from his seat at the meeting table as Grim walked over with the food, placing a serving of food in front of everyone before placing the rest of the food before placing 2 more at the empty seats: Only the Housewardens and their Vices were placed at the table while the rest of their members were upstairs in Yuu's Apartment.

"He'll be here, soon." Yuu said as he handed the folder to Riddle, then walked over to the bar to collect the lock boxes and headed to the door leading to his apartment. "We're heading upstairs. Tell Sebek and Silver to head upstairs when Diasomnia gets here." With that, Yuu and Grim disappeared through the door to head upstairs with the others.

Fate must love playing some sick jokes because the moment the door closed, the front door opened and the members of the Diasomnia Mafia entered with the Feared Malleus Draconia leading them.

"About fucking time you got here, Lizard." Leona growled but Malleus was looking around.

"Where is the Child of Man? I see the drinks he prepared but where is he and his brother?" Malleus asked.

"You just missed them. They headed upstairs before the meeting started." Riddle said while looking through the folder Idia supplied.

"THE HUMAN DID NOT WAIT FOR WAKA-SAMA?! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?!" Sebek barked as he grabbed his drink from the bar while Silver did the same.

"Oh, shut it, Crocodile! Stop yelling in Shrimpy's Bar!" Floyd barked out.

[Yes, I know that Floyd is not a Vice but he and Jade are twins… and Yuu didn't want him in the apartment after what happened last time.]

"Let's just go upstairs, Sebek. You can yell at Yuu and Grim." Silver yawned before taking a drink.

"I SHALL DO THAT! I MUST PROTECT WAKA-SAMA'S HONOR!!!" With that, Sebek pushed through the door with a very sleepy Silver following behind him and the door closed once again.

Lilia and Malleus grabbed their drinks from the bar before joining the table, looking at the meal that Grim prepared for everyone. The Mafia Sectors decided to eat before they started the meeting; no one liked cold rice or meat.

[Location Change: Yuu's Apartment - Home Office]

"You're both coming to the Family Gathering this weekend, right?"

"Yes, Dad. We've never missed one before." Grim called out to his adopted father speaking to them over the speakerphone.

"It's good to know that my puppies remember their old man even when they are running a business."

"Don't worry, Father; we have everything under control. We're not gonna forget about you, even after we pay off what we owe you." Yuu said.

"I told you pups that you didn't OWE me anything. You were the ones who wanted to pay me back for raising you when I didn't want you to. I adopted you boys because I felt attached to you and I have grown to love you as if you were linked to me by blood."

"We know, Dad. We just wanted to show you that we are going to be responsible for everything." Grim said.

"I know, Grim. Just… Just don't overwork yourselves. I don't want my sons getting sick…or further dragged into Mafia Business."

"We know, Father. We'll see you this weekend." Yuu said while looking at a picture on his desk.

"I'll see you soon. I love you, boys."

"We love you, too, Dad. See ya later." Grim said before Yuu hung up the phone.

Holt time let’s go!!

- she’s an old EULR unit that works in Sierpinski-23’s medical wing, she takes care of both replika repairs and patching up gestalts. She’s known throughout the facility as one of the better medical units due to her experience and patients often request her not only for her skills but her company (she’s a terrible gossip even by Eule standards!).

- Holt was given her name from her tendency for hand holding both professionally to comfort her patients, and to generally show affection! Those who know her well also know that her name comes from her stubbornness for a EULR. When she sets her mind to something she refuses to let it go!! She does not take no for an answer! Especially when she’s caring for patients!

- She has a petty grudge against Storch Sieben. No one knows why, but the two of them don’t like each other and can’t be in the same room for very long unless someone wants a shouting match

- When a certain Kolibri unit had an accident in the mines, Holt fixed her face and then after learning that the Kolibri had lost her bioresonance and was being considered for decommission, pulled some strings and kept the decomm request at bay. This initially caused some friction between her and Kolibri, with Holt wanting to keep her alive and well, but Kolibri feeling purposeless without being able to hear her cadre. Although they got off on the wrong foot they grew close and spent a good deal of their spare time together (cue much teasing in the Eule dorms)

- Holt and Kolibri eventually became lovers, Holt had had a crush on her for a while and finally worked up the nerve to confess it. Kolibri felt the same and the two kept their relationship under wraps due to the already tense situation Holt had created in preventing her Kolibug’s decommission request. They still had each other and were happy for a few more years at least (there was much teasing and even more kisses in that time, they loved each other dearly)

- The mysterious illness infecting the replikas of Sierpinski-23 eventually claimed Holt though. During the infection she worked hard to try to treat ailing replikas, or at least bring them some comfort before they had to be put out of their misery. When Holt began showing signs of sickness, Kolibri stayed by her side in the medical office as her condition worsened to the point that she couldn’t recognize her lover at all.

- Holt couldn’t control herself and was confused and scared, she attacked Kolibug when she came to check on her that last day. Kolibug killed her in self defense and remained by her beloved’s side afterwards.

Thinking Thoughts

okok i can't find the post anymore so im literally going to kms bc it was such a a GOOD IDEA but basically it was this fic idea where Yuu was actually sent by the supervillains, the Seven (+ 1 more, the one Yuu represents) to go and investigate Crowley but the trip there somehow gave them memory loss and now Yuu doesn't remember anything!! and apparently Yuu gets their power from overblot stones so the Seven keep sending overblots to give Yuu the chance to regain their power and memory but unfortunately Grimm keeps eating the stones and pisses them off lol. IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA and then the post ended with: the only question is, who does Yuu represent?

And I was like, oh Chernabog obvi.

like think abt it, that villain is literally THE MOST POWERFUL Disney villain plus nothing can defeat him except church bells and sunlight. since Yuu is a mere vessel, i imagine sunlight and church bells won't have an effect on them, thereby making them literally the most powerful villain vessel out there... they just don't remember shit.

honestly when i first played Twisted Wonderland i was genuinely surprised that Chernabog wasn't one of the big Seven... like he's the most powerful villain ever why not put him in there????

those of u who don't know who Chernabog is... i fear there is no saving u. as for how I know Chernabog exists??? let's just say I read a Disney series as a teenager and some girl was kidnapped by him which led me down a rabbit hole.

also also SOMEONE HELP ME FIND THE POST PLSSSS I WANTED TO GIVE CREDIT BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE USER OF WHO POSTED IT

oh also boycott Disney, it's fueling the Palestinian genocide. haven't touched Twisted Wonderland in months due to learning that + I uninstalled it anyway lol.
