Return Home AU: Vil with a Sibling who has natural beauty, doesn't use beauty products - just making signature smoothies for body health from their garden in Ramshackle, and who loves doing work. Vil is NOT happy about his sibling's lifestyle.

Yuu (Gardening while humming a song): These strawberries are gonna be perfect... (Looks around) Why do I feel like someone glaring at me from a distance? (Sees Vil standing outside of Ramshackle's Gate) Oh... (Goes back to gardening)

Yuu: Ah, brother is angry... *gives Vil a smoothie they made* May I offer you a smoothie in this trying time?

Vil, glaring but takes it: Thank you, but you can do better.

Yuu: Uh-huh, by the way...

Vil: Yes?

Yuu, hugs Vil and runs off.

Vil, now covered in dirt: YUU! COME-hold this. *gives smoothie to Rook and runs after Yuu* COME BACK HERE!

Epel: Yuu is dead.

Rook: Non, it's just sibling love.

Kittens

[Ramshackle]

Jayden (Comes in with a box): Guys! I found kittens in the yard!

Darius: How many?

Jayden: 4!

[Yuu looks into the box and finds the Kittens: One is Lavender with Blue Eyes (Looks like Azul), One is black with silver eyes (Looks like Jamil), another is blonde with purple eyes (Looks like Vil), and the last one is black with emerald eyes (Looks like Malleus.]

Marcus: You guys thinking what I am thinking?

Darius/Yuu/Jayden: Yep.

[An Hour Later - On MagiCam]

[Darius made outfits for the kittens and took pictures for MagiCam.]

[The Purple Kitten is dressed in a small Octavinelle Vest and Jacket with a hat - Her Name is Azura.]

[The Black Kitten with Grey eyes is dressed in a Mini Scarabia Outfit with its hood up - His name is Jace.]

[The Blonde Kitten was dressed in a Mini Pomefiore Outfit with lavender tips dyed in at the tip of her tail - Her name is Vivian.]

[The Black Kitten with Green eyes was dressed in a Mini Diasomnia Outfit - His name was Micah.]

Kalim, seeing Jace: OH NO! JAMIL'S TURNED INTO A CAT!

Jamil, walks into the room: Kalim....Kalim.

Return Home AU: Dire Crowley Variant

@sweetbunpura - Heya, Boss! Introducing the Headmage's Hateful Hatchling! The Phantom Raven of Night Raven! He who has claimed new lineage! The Son of Dire Crowley, Yuu!

Crowley (Shivering in fear but attempting not to show it): N... Now, Hatchling... Please, calm down and we can...

Yuu (Voice booming with magic): Silence!

Crowley: EEP! (Hiding behind Crewel)

Yuu: I stopped being your 'HATCHLING' the moment you slammed the lid shut on that coffin and sent me to a world where I was cut off from my power for the past DECADE!

Crowley: Icarus... I...

Yuu: Call me that again and I will char you, Bird. I am no son of yours. I. Am. YUU!

@sweetbunpura - Thoughts, Boss?

[sherryclover]

@return-to-twisted-wonderland Hihi!! Here’s what dear Ellie looks like! Tbh I didn’t know what to do for her hair.

[sweetbunpura]

The deuce’s sibling idea breaks my heart.

Deuce’s mom trying her best to over dote on Deuce after loosing a kid, but deuce just feels stifled so acts out. Deuce realizes his mom is just trying to be there for him and starts to feel guilty for getting all the affection that should have been his sibling’s. Finally he decides to try to be better once he gets to NRC and he finds his sibling. He got his sibling for trying to be better so now to keep them he’s got to be perfect. Their mom also now tries to over parent for the lost time. Yuu is just trying to deal with the new family and their overbearingness.

Yuu having to sit Deuce down so he'll listen to them.

Yuu: I don't want the perfect brother. I want a brother, faults and all.

Deuce: But I... I'm not a honor student, a-and I can't help you out.

Yuu, starts laughing: That's fine! You're doing your best and that's all I want, really. So stop trying to be perfect, cause you're just gonna burn yourself out, okay?

Deuce, soft smile: Okay.

They go back home for White Rabbit Fest:

Dylla, hugging Yuu: You're not leaving my sight.

Yuu: Oh boy...

[sweetbunpura]

If ReturnHome!Yuu had a parent in NRC, it would be funny if their different circumstances and lack of being close to their parent made them grow up into the exact opposite type of person.

If it was Crowley, his kid would be extremely responsible and the first to take leadership.

Crewel’s kid on the other hand would be totally chill and lackadaisical (even a cat person)

Crewel: No child of mine is going to become a cat person!

Crewel kid!Yuu: But dad-

Crewel: No buts!

Yuu: What about Grim?

Crewel: ...he's the only exception.

Grim: I'm not a cat!

Meanwhile...

Crowley: Hey-

Crowley kid!Yuu: Don't even try it.

But like, Crewel or Trein trying to put Yuu in the dorm they used to be in. Meanwhile Crowley is like:

Crowley: You're going in the run down building.

Crowley kid!Yuu: The hell I am *goes to a different dorm*

Oh, but imagine Azul trying to get in with Staff kid!Yuu like the scammer good business man that he is.

Azul: Hello, Prefect!

Yuu: Hi? Oh wait, I'm supposed to avoid you.

[sweetbunpura]

Oh, I thought of something for Azul in the Return Home AU

Azul's Sibling would have been his best friend and biggest supporter as kids and, knowing how Azul wanted to be like the Sea Witch, made a the Shell Necklace for him. However, something happened because of their bullies and Azul's Siblings went missing for years; making Azul bitter and heartbroken until that First Year Ceremony when Azul's Sibling walked out a coffin with a custom cane with a Hydra Head and a personality of a showstopper like: "Hello, all! Yuu Ashengrotto, at your service!"

Azul's Sibling has a business mentality, but always desires a fair deal; so when they find out about what Azul did in Book 3, they are not going to be happy.

Imagine the look on Azul's face as he goes to try and make a deal with the first year, only to realize it's his own sibling. His eyes are widening behind his glasses as he stares at his sibling and bestfriend.

Azul "Y-yuu?"

Yuu "Zul!"

Azul tries to make sure Yuu doesn't see any underhanded deals, but they've made friends with the troublesome first years and now they're in Mostro Lounge.

Azul "If I may explain-"

Yuu, crossed arms "How do I get them out of this, Zul?"

Bonus: They go into the ocean to get the picture and everyone thinks Yuu is gonna be an octopus mer. Only to learn that Yuu is a differnt mer and come to find out they're Azul's STEP-sibling.

Yuu, smiling "Jade, Floyd, how may we help you?"

Jade & Floyd "Uh-oh."

[sweetbunpura]

Yuu as Riddle's missing sibling and representing the White King/Queen would be so heartbreaking like imagine that's the reason why Riddle's mom is so overbearing and strict on him. OR it's because of Riddle's mom that the sibling left/got taken because of how terrible they got treated compared to Riddle or something along those lines.

Riddle's trying to hold himself back from running to hug Yuu, but he;s gotta be proper and not cause a bigger scene. He has to hold it in and not say anything. Be the Dorm Leader that he needs to be in the moments and- Riddle's rushing to hug Yuu with all the strength that his body can muster.

Yuu's startled at first cause suddenly the guy who helped them grab Grim is now hugging them. Riddle, through tears, has to explain to Yuu what happened and now Yuu is hugging Riddle back.

The Rosehearts siblings are polar opposites, Riddle's strict while Yuu is chill.

[sweetbunpura]

Dangit. All the Returned!Yuu posts have given me an angst/fluff idea. Yuu is Leona’s baby sibling and was the only one he felt close to. Yuu wanted Leona above everyone else as a baby and for little Leona, that was enough. Leona was there when whatever creature/event took Yuu, it’s how he got his scar. It’s the thing that fully broke the prince.

When Yuu arrives during the sorting ceremony Leona smells them and some hope pulls at his heartstrings. But Yuu doesn’t have any of their original beastman traits, so Leona talks himself out of it. Slowly Yuu gains magic and starts acting more like other beastmen (stronger senses, little more predatory, lil growls). But nothing solid until Leona’s overblot. They get to see Leona’s past like in the game, but now with memories of Leona taking care of baby Yuu. Yuu recognizes a baby blanket/necklace/charm Leona had gifted them and calls it out. Before Leona can react they return to the real world. Now Yuu has ears and a tail. Leona wakes up and just stares in disbelief, wondering if it’s real.

They bond and grow closer so fast. Leona finally has his person back, and Yuu feels like they are finally whole but feel like it’s their fault Leona was so hurt. Leona wants to go back home even less (wants to hog Yuu all to himself) before Cheka appears. Yuu could help Leona communicate his ideas more to Falena and get him to show off more. Yuu 100% does not like the bird man and jabs back every time he puts Leona down. Cheka grows quickly on Yuu, but they also feel jealous of the cub cause it’s obvious Leona loves him (Yuu fighting with feeling replaced and not being able to have a childhood with their family). Yuu also has a close relationship with Ruggie and learns about the slums and other parts/people of the Sunset Savanna. Yuu may or may not get Leona to help more with the slums (also helping keep Falena from stopping them) and Leona gains the people’s favor and becomes the first prince of the lesser people.

Uh! I could just go on! Feels like it could have so much potential.

Leona with that hopeful flare in his chest, but not a scent of a lion on Yuu anywhere. Anytime he tries to smell Yuu for anything, the scent just smells burnt. He gets angry, angrier than he normally gets, and tries to ignore the idea that Yuu could be his lost baby sibling. His first glimpse that it might actually be Yuu is when he attacks Yuu and Grim in the garden after stepping on his tail, Yuu blocks it out of pure instinct.

Leona sees Yuu's pupils turn into slits before they round out and return to normal. He leaves immediately afterwards, too hurt by what just happened. After Leona's overblot, he wakes up to a lot of chatter, there's something heavy on his chest and he looks down. Yuu's looking at him with their ears flatten and tears in their eyes. They saw all of what happened and They're so sorry for what he went through after Yuu went missing.

His ndugu is finally back and Leona breaks down and holds onto Yuu. Finally, his will to live has returned to him. Yuu and Leona try to get them transferred to Savanaclaw, with some bribery. Leona's telling Yuu about everything they missed and everything that's happening.

Under Leona's help, Yuu managed to unlock their Unique Magic: Lion's Fury. While Leona's turns things into sand, Yuu's causes a fiery blaze.

Leona: Yours is just like mine. Guess we both just cause destruction-

Yuu: Not exactly. Mine can burn stuff, yeah, but it also allows for new growth.

Leona: Which mine doesn-

Yuu: What if someplace gets invaded by an invasive plant? Your sand could kill that plant in no time at all, saving vegetation and the likes.

Leona: ...I'll be honest, I never thought of that before.

Yuu being Leona's baby sibling is adorable, but not look at all the books past this moment. Leona would be pissed at Azul and would easily agree to Yuu's plan without having to force his hand. Scarabia's chapter would cause Leona to be called and get involved in it. Ignihyde now has Yuu going for both Grim AND Leona.

[sweetbunpura]

Oooo imagine their Malleus sib, like two babies in the egg and wobbly wobbly timey wimey

Malleus would be the happiest dragon alive. Lilia returns to Diasomnia with Yuu and introduces them to Malleus. He feels that instant connection.

Malleus: Sibling?

Yuu: Brother?

Malleus, hugs them: Grandmother said you were lost to us like Mother and Father. I'm happy you were able to return to us.

Yuu, hugs back: I'm glad to be back.

Lilia, loading screen in his mind: There were two?

[sweetbunpura]

There is such good sibling angst for all the guys tbh.

The angst followed by the over protectiveness from the guys. Cause "holy shit, their siblings back!" and "Now, I need to fight everything"

But that also means a lot of the overblots would probably go a different way or might not actually go through with the transformation. And Yuu's magic would be roughly the same kinda theme of their brother's UM.

EX: Leona: King's Roar - Turns things into dust/sand Yuu: King's Fury - Set anything on fire

Jade: Shock the Heart - Forces people to tell the truth Floyd: Bind the Heart - Uno reverse Diverts Magic away from user Yuu: Love the Heart -Causes the person to do anything the User says due to "Love"

Azul: It's a Deal - Sign a contract and allows the user to use that power Yuu: Lucky Charm - Grants incredible luck to whoever they use it on, but can also take it away in an instant

I would have to think of what Yuu's magic would be with the others, but so far it'd be like that

[sweetbunpura]

I imagine Vargas with a Yuu who, for any reason, can't go out much or exercise. Vargas has made a lot out of just getting strong and exercising, now he suddenly gets his kid back and realizes they can't do the same thing.

Vargas, hands Yuu a 5lbs weight: Here kiddo!

Yuu, collapses in a heap:

Vargas has to train his kid like he does Idia. He gets both of them to be workout buddies, thinking it'll be good for both of them.

Idia, complaining: But I don't wanna work out with the scrub!

Yuu: This coming from the walking twig that smells like an melting and expired hot cheetos bag!

Idia: Hey!

Vargas is now rapidly regretting his decision.

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

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

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

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

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

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

Yuu: "Who else eats Mint Pistachio?!"

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

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

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

[sweetbunpura]

For Lilia's Neglected Son in Savanaclaw

Jack (Holding a stopwatch): Ready? Go!

[Lilia's Son does the laundry, cleans the door, makes lunch for the dorm members, folds the laundry when it dries, sets the food on the table and returns to Jack.]

Lilia's Son: Time?!

Jack: 2 Hours, 15 Minutes.

Lilia's Son: Too slow. Damn.

Lilia son!Yuu: Run it back!

Ruggie, watching this: Did you seriously want them here or did you do this as a fuck you to Malleus?

Leona, floating in the pool with shades on: You already know the answer to that.

[sweetbunpura]

For ReturnHome!Yuu, I can imagine their family constantly trying to make up for lost time (maybe even Yuu too) but it constantly makes one or both uncomfortable, especially if they are exact opposites.

Riddle tries to spend time with the tea parties or unbirthday parties, but Yuu is bogged down by all the rules. Yuu tries to do something creative without rules while Riddle gets uncomfortable and tries to look up “rules”.

Vargas tries to work out with his kid and spend time doing exercises, but Yuu is getting anxious and just wants to go inside and game or read. Yuu tries to show off all of their favorite stories but Vargas is bored out of his mind being stuck inside and without a bunch of people.

Yuu having to have a medium between the stuff they like and the stuff their family likes. Yuu starts slowly easing their family members into the stuff they do and in return their family members do the same.

It's a slow dance, but it works in the end. But there are those moments of angry outbursts that sends both Yuu and their family member stomping away from each other for a few hours. Yuu ends up apologizing with a homemade treat or fixing something they broke in the fight.

Yuu, giving Riddle a tart: There's no Oyster sauce in it... I'm sorry, bro.

Riddle: I should be the one apologizing...

or

Yuu, fixing the equipment they broke: Hey, Pops. I fixed it... Sorry about all that.

Vargas, pats Yuu on the back: You're good, Kiddo! But... It's my fault.

[sweetbunpura]

The Rollo angst too from the event. Losing two siblings to magic, seeing Yuu once again because of the masquerade event and rejecting them because 'this is dark magic!' or something along those lines

Rollo's chanting to himself that Yuu can't be here, magic is playing a cruel trick on him. Only for Yuu to grab him and force him to look at them.

"I'm home, Rollo..."

Rollo just falls to his knees and hugs Yuu, he doesn't want to let them go. When it's time to go back to NRC, Yuu asks to stay at NBC with Rollo for a bit. They wanna talk to their brother more. Trein, reluctantly, lets them go and within a few days, the NBC students say they see Rollo smiling and laughing with Yuu.
