“ah, roi du poison, you looks so magnificent today..your skin is glowing” rook smiled at the guy in front of him. Rook has always found Vil beautiful. Ever since he met him when he was still in savanaclaw, he couldn’t get enough of his beauty. He couldn’t understand how one would hold such beauty but he finally did and ever since then he’s always stayed by Vil.

“Good morning to you too, Rook, I’m so glad you came back from the fall break safe and sound” Vil smiled as he went to rook and kissed him on the lips gently which rook kissed back instantly before pulling away. “I’ll always come back safe just for you, roi du poison” “I’m sorry again I had to leave your family’s villa by the beach, modeling agency came up and—” “it’s okay, I understood, so did my family” “thank you, rook”

“my mom invited you to our villa in sunset savana for the next holiday break, which is winter, if you’re interested”

“that sounds lovely, i would love to come again”

Rook smiled before kissing Vil once more and heading off into the dorm to help with duties around the dorm. Vil just smiled more as he held a hand over his fast pace beating heart. Vil couldn’t ask for more. He loved rook so much and was so happy he liked him in the same way vil liked him.

they did many things together when no one was around since they want to keep things private. They shared gentle kisses, cuddled together in bed, innocent showers at times, rook would even sneak into vil’s room at night so they both can sleep with each other’s warmth.

Vil did hear rumors by some of the students that rook was probably banging him in his room but they soon stopped as soon Vil said something about it. Rook found out eventually as he spent almost the whole afternoon apologizing even if he didn’t even do anything.

Vil just laughed to himself at the memory before walking back to his room to get ready now since the it was getting more later and other students arrive back at the dorm. As Vil got ready he started thinking about his future with rook.

Them living in a villa in rook’s hometown sunset savana or his home town shaftlands. Just living together as vil works in modeling and finally acting once again, while rook could stay at home or work for his family. Vil just smiled more to himself before finishing getting ready.

Vil couldn’t just stop thinking about rook and all the things they did together. Over fall break Vil went to one of rook’s villas that his mom invited him too which he only stayed for 3 days since his modeling agency called but those three days were perfect. Rook drove Vil around the town they were in. On the first day of the break rook drove Vil to a mountain to get a good view of the town and the ocean which was perfect.

The two talked for a while as Vil was getting comfortable in the passenger seat, his pillow resting behind him along with a blanket. When Vil looked over he watched rook take his seatbelt off and turned to him with a smile before rubbing his hands on Vil’s knees.

“Rook?”

“Ah, roi du poison..i love you so much..i just want to hold you and make you mine..”

“here?”

“if you’re comfortable with it, i will never force you into anything”

Vil nodded before moving a bit closer so rook as more access which rook smiled.

“Are you sure? Again I won’t force you”

“I trust you, I’m okay with it”

that night in the car was just full of love and pleasure between the two which after that made the two even closer of that was even possible. They couldn’t leave each other’s side. Not to mention but rook had friends in the town they stayed at and he introduced Vil to them? Vil was in heaven just remembering this.

─────.•*:｡✩

Winter break was around the corner as everyone was packing once again leaving early or just getting prepared so when the day finally starts they can grab their luggage and leave. Vil was one of those people getting prepared in advance. He had a smile on his face as he thought about him and took spending the break in the villa.

Soon a knock on the door was heard as Vil said to come in and to Vil’s surprise it was rook. “Ah, rook, is there anything you need?” “Roi du poison..” “what’s wrong? Did something happen?” “Something has been bothering me and ah—” rook was surprised feeling vil hug him.

“Just tell me I’m sure it’s not that bad”

“It’s about us”

“Us? What about us?”

“Roi du poison..I’m sorry but..I can’t do this anymore”

“Anymore? What do you mean?”

“This, kissing, showers, car rides everything, the more we do it, it makes me think we’re in a relationship”

“in a relationship? I thought we were, we literally did it in the car during fall break, you kissed me, you literally sneak in my room to sleep together”

“I know! But I thought it was just casual or platonic..”

“Casual? Casual?! How did anything I listed be casual?! Or even be platonic!”

“I just thought it was, roi du poison, I’m sorry okay, I just can’t do this anymore, I’m sorry, can we be casual about this please?”

“Casual? You want me to be casual? It’s kinda hard to be casual when all my favorite things are in your room and the fact you told your parents about us. But fine you want casual? I’ll be casual then”

Rook took his hat off as he nodded before bowing a little and leaving Vil’s room. Once the door closed and rook’s footsteps were fading away. Vil took any photo of the two together and started ripping them up. This went with the same for flowers, gifts and anything that had took or was given by rook. Vil felt tears falling down his face.

how can he be causal after all this? Time will only tell

Daydreams

Vil x reader, background Rook x reader

cw: pretentious vil introspection, unrequited love, slight angst(?)

When Rook first introduced you to him, Vil never thought twice about you.

He doesn’t bother learning the names of Rook’s latest obsessions, whether that be Vil’s fellow celebrities or his paramours. His friend had always been a fanatic of beauty, always searching for the next exquisite thing. It meant that he didn’t stay in one place, or with one person, for very long.

When you stuck around- that surprised him.

Still, he’d expected Rook to be done with you soon enough. Whether it took a month or a year, he’d been sure Rook would move on eventually.

It struck him suddenly one day when Rook had handed over spare keys to your and his new apartment, that you’d integrated yourself into their lives. Or rather, Rook’s life, and his by proxy.

He hadn’t exactly understood what Rook saw in you.

You’d always been ordinary. That’s why he’d barely noticed you at first, trailing behind Rook like you could disappear into the wallpaper any second. You were shy, barely having the confidence to meet his eyes when Rook proudly presented you to him. Even as your boyfriend lavished praise after praise on you, all you could do was hide behind his shoulder bashfully. Vil had been pleasant, for Rook’s sake, but he hadn’t much cared for yours. If all you would ever be is another mousy little thing, Vil was hardly interested.

On days when he has too much time to himself, Vil wonders if things would’ve been different if he’d met you first.

He doubts it. Doubts that he wouldn’t have made the same mistake, sizing you up before you’d even had a chance. No, Vil thinks he would’ve destroyed you.

Rook had seen you and known you could be more. But he’d loved you as you were, not as who you could become. Rook had loved you unconditionally, and that had helped you grow and blossom into your true potential.

You’d been good for Rook too, supported him in all of his passions, encouraged and partook in his interests. You’d given him a home, too. Somewhere that grounded Rook without limiting him.

Would Vil have been able to love you like that? To never ask more of you? To not push and pull until you shattered into a broken image of who he’d like you to be?

Would you have been able to love him?

-

Vil wakes up in the hospital. Some serious injuries from his accident, but he’ll live.

Rook is the first to visit.

When he asks for you, he expects his old friend to be angry at him, but he isn’t. Rook looks at him with pity, and Vil thinks that is much, much worse.

You rush in from the waiting room and immediately embrace him. The touch is gentle, barely there. He knows it’s because you’re trying to be considerate of his injury, but it still stings at his chest. When you pull away to check over him, he can almost convince himself your touch was just his delusion.

He wonders, sometimes, if you know the truth. Sometimes he has dreams that you do. That you’ve found out. Your reaction varies from dream to dream. Sometimes you’re happy and you feel the same. Other times you slap him, ask how he could do this to Rook. He’s not sure which he prefers.

He knows, though. Vil knows that you have no idea how he feels. You would never try to touch him, never keep him in your life if you did. Your morals are as strong and unyielding as your love for Rook. You’d be angrier at him than his old friend would be. Even so, he knows Rook would rather lose him than ever give you up. That part hurts too. Not only does Rook have you, but you have Rook. You’ve taken him from Vil too.

He knows Rook knows. He’s in love with you too, after all.

The two of you have each other, and he is left alone.

He can see it when you finally stop fussing over him to greet your fiancé, just like he sees it every day. He sees it in the way your hand finds its place on Rook’s like it’s just another part of a whole. Vil sees it when Rook turns and sees you. He doesn’t just look at you, he sees you. He sees your strengths and your faults and your shortcomings and he still loves you. No, not in spite of, but because of them.

Vil sees himself getting left behind.

Despite being the patient, Vil feels like the intruder in the room. The two of you are talking about nothing special, but he feels like a voyeur; spying on two lovers sharing a deeply intimate moment.

When both of you turn your gaze back to him, you immediately get up and rush toward him. You’re fussing again and he - he doesn’t know why. Why do you bother even being nice to him? He’s nothing to you, just your fiancé’s friend. Why are you so kind, so soft?

Rook’s hand glides across his cheek and Vil feels the wetness spread. His tears have dried by now, and still you rush for the nurse, saying how he should’ve told you that his pain level was still so bad.

When the nurse is gone and Vil’s head is even fuzzier, you sit at his bedside. Rook has gone to bring the two of you some food since you insisted on staying by his side in case he needed you once more. He wishes he could ask you never to leave.

You scold him and tell him that he never has to put up a facade for you. That almost makes him smile.

He can be happy like this, Vil tells himself. He can be satisfied, as long as you’re in his life, even if you’ll never be in his arms.

♡ R.H & V.S | REJECTION | ANGST

"Je suis désolé..."

He slides the familiar brown feather hat from his head, eyes casted downward in such a way that youre not sure you've seen before. His usual straighten posture is loose, like unraveling thread, and he’s quiet. There’s no humming, no mummering of the endless beauty, nothing as he looks away with furrowed brows.

Guilt. It is a rare feeling that he lets you see. Always doing his best to hid it away, even as his friend, seeing the huntsman guilty is nearly unthinkable. He, who always plans and thinks it through, he’s guilty? The letter feels like weights and your throat feels dry, and every inhale feels as if you were breathing sand. For a moment you wonder where you are. You're in a private part of the pomefiore gardens. Confessing. Yes. You're confessing. To your friend. Youre confessing to your friend...

Who doesn't like you...

Who's sorry that he doesn't like you in such a way....

"Forgive me if I've mislead you...." Mislead. To lead astray. Like a shepherd leading his sheep wrong, letting them wander too far. With such flowery words and such intimate moments—secrets shared though proximity and closed lips. With his hat upon your head, and he, quietly recited poetry. Whispering words into you ear. Yet he misled you. Made you think there was something.

But it wasn't just something... It was... You love him. The late nights in which he visited. Nights in which he held you close to his chest, hands cold open your flesh yet grounding. It’s almost funny, how close he held you, grasping you, telling you how important you are to him. How much feels for you.

To think he felt no such thing.

No feelings of love, desire, nothing as he erased your fears. Filled you with hot words, broken promises, when he didn’t mean it. Why would he spend hours of his time only to not love you. Why would he call you perfect to only deem that you weren’t good enough to be his. Why?

You try and speak. To open your lips and beg for an explanation, for a reason. You deserve one, right? Having been brave and pur your heart on the line. To be the one to confess first.

Yet when you do.

When you take that first step. He takes a step away. Separating himself. As if afraid that a fraction closer would—poison him. Yet you know that to him, poison is sweet. Elegant. Refined. Dressed in purple robes and lilac eyes. To him poison is sweet, and you are a antidote he wants not of. Regret flashes in his eyes and in a moment he's turning from you, leaving you standing in the private garden...

The letter feels like a ton of bricks.

So! If you’re on my discord, I posted the draft of this like hrs ago, but this the final copy!! @v-anrouge

Can’t sleep. Thinking about RookVil in their 40s being deeply in love and holding each other after a bad medical scare

[z18m9]

"What if I don't love you?"

"What if I can't love you?"

"What if I won't love you?"

"I know I shouldn't love you—"

"—yet I do, I really do."

"So let me love you, now and forever."

These are the respective 6 titles of each different chapter! The work is posted on AO3 titled as above, it's fairly angsty :) please give it a read if you're interested!

Ship: Rook Hunt/Vil Schoenheit

Warnings: Major Character Death

TW: vomiting blot (and some blood), also depressing thoughts, denial

(just saying i also do accept prompts/requests if you don't mind my writing style! I'm most used to rookvil but I have also tried malleidia before, any other ships might take me a while but I can always give it a try ;D)

———

“Roi du Poison?”

Heels clack through the empty hallway.

“Vil—!”

Heels clack even faster.

“Mon amour!”

It's a desperate scream — and just what is holding them upright? — as Rook throws himself against the taller boy, pitches himself against the boy so much thinner than he is, wearing thirteen centimetre heels that could have snapped at any moment.

“Vil, s'il vous plaît—” Rook's arms tighten around his waist, muscled arms once comforting. “Don't.”

It hurts — or does it? — as he reaches with numb hands and slowly wriggles painted nails between gaps of gloved hands to pry them apart.

“But what if I don't love you?” Vil whispers. “But what if I don't love you, Rook?”

The hunter shakes his head, and it must be painful, when those abruptly cut tresses whip in his face, whip onto cheeks once freckled and sunburnt, changed only by — and for — the very boy before him.

“You would be lying.” Rook says, with so much strength, and so much belief. Determined, and stubborn.

Thankfully, he won't be there to see it when it's all gone, and gone for good.

“I would.” He reaches for the hunter's hands, and kisses them. And then he reaches for the hunter's forehead, for the hunter's cheeks, and kisses those too.

He moves lower, and their lips are hardly apart, hardly distanced, as he curls his fingers around Rook's jaws, as he brushes their noses together, as their lips touch, almost a kiss.

Then he closes his eyes, if only to never see the last moments of light in green eyes so bright.

“I would be lying.” He murmurs, and presses his lips forward so softly, ever so lightly, and hopes he will remember what it feels like, what it is like to love and what it is like to have loved.

And then his eyes open.

Every adventure requires a first step.

Vil Schoenheit x Rook Hunt: Shrinking Potion

My first time writing a proper one shot! Writing this gave me second-hand embarrassment lol

Hope you enjoy!

Contains spoilers for Episode/Book 5. Might be OOC.

SUMMARY: Vil stumbled upon a shrinking potion in the snow. Rook comes to the rescue.

---

Vil was merely taking in the winter sights when his boots hit an object beneath the snow. He winced slightly but didn't make a noise. Hopefully, it hadn't ruined his boots. 

He was about to leave when Vil caught a glimpse of pink beneath the fresh white snow. Hm? He crouched down and pushed aside the snow gently with his gloves. 

There appeared to be a bottle of pink liquid. Probably a failed potion. Vil concluded upon not recognizing it. He scrunched up his nose, disposing of a failed potion like this was just distasteful.

With a sigh, Vil carefully handled it and walked toward the nearest trash can. What he didn't account for was the lid not being on properly. A single drop of it on his sleeve was all it took. 

The world suddenly began to spin as the world grew. 

"Oh, please!" He groaned. Thankfully, his voice did not become cartoonishly high. That wasn't one of his main concerns though. 

Vil took his magic pen from his coat pocket and cast a controlled fire shot. The snow melted only for the snow above it to replace the small hole he had made. He knew he wouldn't have enough magic to make his way back to the Hall of Mirrors.

With no other choice, he took his phone next. "Mira Mira, call Rook." Vil sighed. The phone sparked to life as it dialled his vice dorm head. He didn't have to wait long for him to pick up. 

"Vil! I was wondering where you'd gone." Rook gasped. "I was trying to dispose of someone's shrinking potion when it fell on my sleeve." He explained, the irritation slipping through his voice despite his attempts to keep calm. "I will find you immediately, don't worry! I See You!" Vil could hear him cast his unique magic.

Rook had given him a marked matching apple keychain a while back and Vil had taken to carrying it on him at all times. Sure, it was an incredible amount of trust to put in a person but Vil trusted Rook. Maybe sometimes too much. 

To his credit, Vil felt the ground trembling and heard Rook calling out for him quickly. "Roi de Poison! My beautiful Vil!" His frantic shouting rang out through the cold winter air. 

"Down here, by the trash can. Don't step on me." Vil said through the phone. He saw his brown boots before his golden locks and foxy emerald eyes came into view. Anyone seeing that would be terrified but it was Rook. Vil wasn't scared of Rook. 

Rook would only hurt him if it were for his own good, such as during VDC. He couldn't help but recall the way his heart sank as tears welled in his eyes upon the revelation that Rook had voted for Neige. Vil Schoenheit doesn't cry. 

"Let us return now, Roi de Poison!" Rook offered a gloved hand. Vil climbed on gracefully. "Rook, do I seem different?" Despite his obvious state, Rook only smiled in understanding. 

"My beautiful Vil, you retain your beauty no matter what form you take. I will always follow you." Rook lifted his palm up to his face, their eyes met. Suddenly, it all became so very clear to him.

"Kiss me."

A brief look of shock crossed those sharp green eyes of his. Vil closed his eyes, their lips gently touched. His world spun again and Vil found himself in Rook's arms. "True love's kiss, of course." Vil scoffed. Rook merely chuckled in response and Vil couldn't stop himself from joining him.

Ao3: HERE If you see it posted anywhere or by anyone else, it's not me.

[parad-ice-lostandfound]

Prompt: "Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas. I love you."

Genre: Heavy Angst, proceed with caution

TW: Major character death, suicide, heavy drinking.

You are loved, and will be missed, so please take care of yourself. If at any point you feel like stopping reading, please do. Your mental health comes before anything else. I hope you enjoy... Merry Christmas to everyone!

Vil sat down on his couch, sinking into its warmth with his fifth glass of wine in hand. Once upon a time, he would have frowned upon doing something like this. He was a notorious lightweight, and despised the headache that accompanied him on the day after.

But now, the pleasant buzz that the alcohol created in his mind was a welcome distraction.

Vil's gaze fell on the TV remote. He reached for it and switched it on, it's artificial light casting on his face and lighting up the otherwise dark room.

"And in other news, acclaimed actor and director Vil Schoenheit announces his retirement from the entertainment industry at the fairly young age of 34. A public statement was released earlier this month by his agency, right after the release of his latest film, 'Eternity'. This news has come as a shock to many of the star's fans, but-"

Vil tuned out the TV as the newscaster spoke of how well his last movie was doing in theatres and how everyone wished him well in the future. Words blurred into sounds and the TV screen into colours as he took another sip of his wine, closing his eyes as he tipped his head back on the couch.

His phone vibrated inside his pocket. Removing it, Vil saw a message from Epel.

Merry Christmas. Hope you're having a good time. Mawmaw asked me to send you this pic, and told me to invite you to Harveston sometime for some apple pie.

Underneath it was a picture of Epel and his grandmother in their kitchen, both holding a plate of said apple pie in their hands.

Vil smiled, then decided to check his other messages. A voice message from Jack wishing him Merry Christmas, a whole paragraph of text courtsey of Rook, and many more messages from his coworkers and acquaintances. He replied to every one of them, answering each with a thoughtful message that somehow his alcohol-addled brain could type coherently.

As lilac eyes wandered over his chat log, they caught one last message. It was from his manager. Or, well, ex-manager.

Vil.

In all the years I have spent managing young actors, I have not seen one as talented and dedicated as you. Not many spend their time honing and perfecting their craft as you do. It is a shame to see you leaving the spotlight so soon, but I know this is something you have needed for quite some time.

Take this time to take care of yourself, Vil. (Name) would have wanted you to. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Vil stilled as he read the last few sentences. "(Name)...".

The moonlight painted a solemn scene as it fell on the lone man, coloring his blonde locks an enchanting silver as he picked up his wine glass. He gulped the drink in one go, the slightly bitter liquid burning his throat in a familiar manner as he placed the glass on the coffee table.

Vil smiled, then tried to stand. The five glasses of wine had begun showing their effect, and he had to lean against the armrest of the couch to stop the world from spinning in front of his eyes.

Slowly, he made his way to the master bedroom. Upon reaching, he walked over to the bed, forgoing his usual skincare routine in favour of tucking himself in.

Vil sat upright in bed, eyes trained on the lone flowerpot kept at the windowsill. The lilies stirred ever so slightly under the light breeze coming in through the open window, as though shivering under the weight of his gaze. Gaze filled with profound love, and sorrow, and resolve.

"(Name)..."

Vil's voice was not more than a whisper, yet that one word uttered from his lips seemed to fill the silence that shrouded the room. He took a shaky breath, hand closing around the bottle of sleeping pills he had on his bedside table.

The clock struck twelve from somewhere within the house, it's soft sound echoing throughout. Outside, Vil heard cheers coming from people who were spending Christmas with their loved ones.

He looked back at the red lilies, and smiled. A genuine, unpracticed smile that had not seen the light of day ever since the love of his life died.

"Merry Christmas (Name). I love you."

Rook was a hunter, through and through. He prided himself on his observation skills, on his judgments. Usually, he could see things coming from a mile away.

He did not see Vil's suicide from a mile away.

The blonde haired man was one of the first to be informed of it, and also the one to whom most of his possessions were bequeathed to.

Rook did not care much for most of the things Vil had left him. He had also left him with a hole in his heart, and a permanent pain in his soul. Yet, as he gazed at the flowerpot with the red tulips in it, and the matching one with white magnolias beside it, he could not blame Vil.

Calloused hands trembled as they caressed the petals of the flowers. It felt almost sacrilegious to touch, as if the pure flowers were taunting him for the blood that stained his hands.

Tears dropped down onto the silky petals, clinging to them like drops of fresh dew. Rook's hands slid down to touch the flowerpots, where the letters engraved spelled out the names of two people he thought of as the very epitome of beauty.

The lilies grew on the essence and memory of (Name) Schoenheit, and the magnolias welcomed the ashes of Vil Schoenheit.

Red lilies: Eternal love and passion

White magnolias: Nobility and Purity

Masterlist...

[anonyanonymouse]

You asked about dark twst thoughts/aus right? Well I got something for ya. Its more angsty than dark though.

Grim is (arguably) the best friend of the prefect of Ramshackle. These two sleep in the same bed, share the same meals, spend a lot of time together. I like to imagine that Yuu pets Grim goodnight every night lol, else Grim gets angsty.

Well, Yuu dies in chapter 6 by the hands of one of those robots, yknow, the ones that the STYX guards wear. Yuu gets shot by one of them, but hides the wound. Once the whole overblot with Idia happens, and we are reunited with Grim (I dont actually know if we get to do that, I havent finished chap.6 yet lol), they kind of succumb to their injuries and collapse, heaving in pain. Grim, and everyone else obviously, are horrified. Grim rushes to their side, and Yuu gives him a pained smile, trying to pet his fur with their remaining strength.

"I guess this... is it for me." They gasp, not even having the energy to keep their arm by Grim's side. Chaos ensues as they lose conciousness, leaving a freaked out and crying Grim behind.

After Yuu's death, Grim stops attending classes and just kind of lives around the campus. The housewardens (+jamil i guess) try to take care of him but they are all grieving in their own ways. Perhaps you can write something out of this, and if its too angsty, you can always go with a RookVil fic with gore and hate sex lmao

God I love being on the internet.

STYX is such a good catalyst for angst and dark fics 🙏 might I take you up a couple and offer the idea of Yuu, not dying after getting shot by a robot, but after getting kidnapped by one. They're told that nothing will happen to them so long as they comply, but everyone else is in danger, so they refuse to. After spending enough time at the brattiest school there is, they know how to be a nuisance!! The bot tries to subdue them, but with everything going on, there's some issues with the programming... Its idea of "subduing" is to grab them by the arms so tight that it hurts, bang them against the walls and counters until they stop trashing and screaming, administering a near-lethal electric shock... They're not dead, but close to it. When the others find them and dismantle the damned thing, Yuu is unconscious. So much is happening, they can only do enough to wake them up and keep them going until everything is over. They aren't able to treat their internal bleeding and wounds in time, and... The rest is as you've described.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

ty for the tag @unpredictable-probabilities! I don't usually do tag things but I'm feeling an exception today and I want to ramble lol let's GO!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Right now, 51! I think i started using ao3 back in college with rvb fic lol. I've since orphaned 2 fics so I guess there wouldve been 53.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

86,956

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now, mostly just Twisted Wonderland (and the occasional dndads, I still have a fic in my brain I kinda wanna write for that). Twst was kinda my comeback to wanting to write fics and has been my main inspiration for a lot of things and it's been the most fun i've had writing fics I think, and it's eventually what's gotten me to try to write my first multi chapter fic.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Slip Ups and Lift Ups (Stardew Valley) 444 Kudos 2. A Fishy Intervention (TWST) 354 Kudos 3. Company (TWST) 249 Kudos 4. Security Cauldron (TWST) 248 Kudos [my first twst fic i think? also has some errors in it teehee oopsie] 5. Because I Care (TWST) 234 Kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes!!! I think I didn't used to? Maybe because I felt weird about my own comments changing the comment count and like it was somehow lying lol. but that's silly and i like talking to people and I Need people to Know that i Love Their Comments

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

hmmm I do not write much angst, and even when I do it's more hurt/comfort, bc permasads make ME permasad. I think it was my rvb fic "forgotten" - which i always forget was my first fic uploaded to ao3 LOL, back in 2015. ironic that my first wasnt reflective of the tone i usually write for. i don't wanna reread it to check [even tho my fics from back then are WAY shorter] bc im scared to face how i wrote when i was fresh outta hs lol BUT if i remember correctly/based on the summary, it was a doc/donut fic and I think it was about how after doc had disappeared from the future cube or whatever in canon and no one knew he was gone, i wrote a scene of doc getting upset with donut bc Of All People Why Didnt You Notice I Thought I Meant Something To You 😔 kdlsjfkdlsj i think it ended with doc walking off and donut being SAD and idk maybe they broke up, idr if they were 'officially dating' in the context of that fic. but um hashtag docnut for life.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

most all of my fics are happy endings with an exception of like one ^ or two lol. I don't know if i can quantify those!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not to my face if I do lol. I don't think enough people know about me to give a shit if i do stuff they dont like

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

nope!!!! i dont really like smut personally and it's not the kind of genre i have story ideas for.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't think i've ever done that 🤔

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

not that I know of!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nope!

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

girl help i cannot choose. um. well first shout out again to rvb's docnut bc u will always be strong and married in my heart. and in dndads im an oakworthy truther til i die BUT for twst. twst beloved twst i am in that pitfall of i like 50000 different ships. jamiazu is the one i write and draw the most LOL and theyre def a top fave HOWEVER. god. treycater alters my brain chemistry. rookvil marriage real. adeuce beloved fool duo for life. im physically restraining myself from mentioning more KLFJDSKLFJS especially when we get into the multiship/poly web bc god we will be here all day. i can and will be enabled but this post is already long enough GOODBYE!!!!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

oooh ok well there was a dndads oakworthy thing I started like last year but pretty soon after I started it, we started seeing more of hermies forbidden other 'true' personality traits and i was like ruh roh this guy keeps pulling a fast one on me, i dont think the direction i had with this fic is fitting anymore. i had barely gotten anywhere with it and it wouldve been short anyway, but i think about what couldve been.... lololol and then for TWST umm. Hehe. Teehee even. Back during nanowrimo I used that as time to start 2 fics: kalim and the great relationship rescue, which is my current multichap fic about kalisil and jamiazu, it’s got about 3 chapters, and I’m still writing it. AND IM STILL GOING TO FINISH THAT ONE!!! but the OTHER one I started during that time and have NOT posted any of it yet was the stuff with my first twst oc, Char, and his place in my big caterella multiverse ideas lol. I’ve posted a bit about that story idea and done a lot of doodles and brianstorming for it, but I fear it would be too intimidatingly ambitious to stick to and I’m not sure writing one concrete fic is the right medium for it 🤔 plus I just don’t think many people would like it much LOL it would be very self indulgent and tapping into my soap opera brain. I feel nervous when I talk about it HAHDBFNTG so I’m not sure I could commit. But I still have what I wrote, and maybe I’ll figure out another way to go with it or maybe I’ll just wake up one day and say WHATEVER and write it anyway lol. I’ve gotten shyer again so we’ll see 🧍

16. What are your writing strengths?

umm. i do not know if it is a strength but i feel more light comedy and dialogue come more 'naturally' to me, but i do not know how well i actually can pull it off LOL also shorter, contained stories. Everything I write is a one shot, and I’m struggling on my recent attempt at a multiple chapter fic BDBFFBFNGD

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

hrhrnrngm more descriptive writing, i find im in the pitfalls of writing TOO MUCH dialogue. and i also feel like when i try to do more serious tone things it comes off as cringe or trying too hard kFDKLSHFLDSJ. no one's said that to me but yknow. fear and whatnot. also ending the story is. Hard. I feel like that’s always a weak part of my fics bc I sit there like WELL I WROTE ALL MY IDEAS HOW DO I WRAP THIS UP…. I worry my endings come off kind of half assed but I do my best lol 😔✌️

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

like are you asking if i would do it? or how i feel when it's done in fics i read? i dunno lol. i could maybe do spanish bc ive studied it a lot but i'd get nervous i think.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

on ao3 it was rvb bu teeeechnically back in my neoseeker forums days i was in there writing like, animal crossing or harvest moon or pokemon stuff. it was very bad bc i was like 10 years old LOL

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

ohoho ummmm. Well I always have fun writing jamiazu and I’ve written a LOT of those lol. I have a soft spot for The Comfort of Familiarity. That’s one of the ones hats taken me the longest to write because I was really trying hard to handle it with care, as it was a less light tone than I typically do and I was trying to explore the characters and their situation in a particular way that I really wanted to come across well with who reads it. It was hard, and I’m not sure I fully got there, but ultimately I did like it quite a a bit. on the flipside, one of my more recent fics and I think now my longest oneshot to date, Blue Raspberry Mango was VERY fun to write lol. That one’s a lot more like what I typically write, silly romcom style lmao. Cater and Idia goofing, characters bickering, friendship, me trying to sneak in as many side ships into the background for funsies, jamiazu is there, it was a good time. And that one started as a prompt suggestion which I feel like often times I end up struggling with and not delivering super well… but this one ran away from me and I had a blast lol. Idikei fixed me 😌✌️

Ty for tagging me! Umm. I am too scared to tag other people 🧍 goodbye jk @officialgleamstar 🫵 You Do It

Any angst potential for Rookvil?

Hi, another poor Anon who had to wait for months for me to reply lol and sorry!

Well, I just posted a hc list for some yandere Rook scenarios, and some of these got angsty, but there is still a lot to talk about.

You’ve probably already seen it both in my previous post and in our other RookVil content, but we really love the theme of betrayal with these two. Not necessarily related to everything that happened during ch5 (although this is clearly what inspired the thought): there are a lot of scenarios in which Vil’s absolute trust in Rook could backfire and punch him in the most sensitive spot possible. I’m reiterating this idea over and over again, but a story in which Vil is having a hard time, and Rook is always there to support him, but is ultimately someone who is the reason behind Vil’s hardship, is honestly the best type of scenario lol And the scale could be so different. Our scenario in which Rook hunts Vil down in the forest for his own amusement technically works this way too.

If we don’t go this route though, let’s be honest, Vil is an actor, so his life is already full of angst potential because of everything that happens in the business, so to speak. Fake and dangerous people from the industry, creepy fans, pressure and overworking, failure and other stuff, things could get wrong in so many ways. And Rook could always be there to make things better (or worse).

casual by chappell roan w/ Vil x Rook oneshot anyone?

[viperbunnies]

Hello >.< #22 for the twst ask game? It would be really cool if it was from each year level too!! (♡°♡)

Hello anon! Thank you for the ask hehe, I’ll try to not make this a big yapfest but 🙂‍↕️Also using this as an opportunity to spread my rarepairs 🫣

22. Favorite relationships? (Romantic or platonic!!)

- Generally speaking I’m drawn more to the platonic relationships in TWST. I love the juicy family angst that is Lilia and his two sons, Silver and Malleus. Malleus and Silver just contrast each other so well, and the way they both care for their father-figure in different ways it is so 👌 (Book 7 drop me more Malleus&Silver sibling angst) My most favorite relationships are always the familial ones… The Viper siblings is still the most accurate siblings relationship to me lmao.

- For each year though hm 🤔 I’ll try not to list some of the more popular ones cause I enjoy them as much as the next person. (Like; Adeuce, AzuRid, JamiKali, RookVil)

(Under cut for length! and some minor Book 7 spoilers)

- For the 1st years, I’d love to see more Epel/Sebek interactions. I lost the thread but I remember seeing someone say Sebek must’ve highly respected Epel after the Harveston race after seeing him stitch cause sewing is valued in Briar Valley. Hshshs I think it’s cute 🥺 If I ever see that thread again I’ll link it here.

- For the 2nd years, I’d love to see more Jamil/Ruggie or Jade/Ruggie (Any Ruggie pair with the 2nd years tbh) I just think Ruggie has some potential with his fellow sophomores, may it be platonically or romantically. (Can you tell I enjoyed the chaos he and Jamil did in Glorious Masquerade lmao)

- For the 3rd years, I love Trey/Rook 😭 and Idia/Lilia (Platonic). Honestly, me liking Trey/Rook was mainly because of @Crim0x0 (on twitter) ‘s fan art of them. Idia/Lilia because it’s honestly so rare to see Idia have a person he considers a friend. (I’m so excited to see how he’ll react when he finds out who his friend is)

- Additionally I also love Lilia/Maleanor/Raverne. It’s popular af by now but Lilia’s relationship with Maleanor and Raverne. Hshshssh the tragic polycule ever… 🥺

[nohrianhime]

I want to write some rookvil fics again but i'm stumped? I have only angst ideas, but i want to write some fluff TT^TT

Don't have someone to rp with to help unlock ideas so i'll probably just drop some ch7 rookvil angst out of nowhere in the upcoming months on ao3.

[driedupeyeballs]

30 for the twst ask thing!!

30. What’s your hottest Twst take?

Got a little out of hand here

Honestly idk if I have any hot takes I’m vanilla as fuck

Shipping Rugkali is my hottest take 😔 /j

Idk I’ll try??

Ok I’m like. The bigggest fucking Scarabia fan to an obnoxious degree and I am very passionate abt the fact that there was no villain in that arc and both kalim and Jamil were neither in the right nor in the wrong but I feel like that isn’t super controversial?? Also I could probably talk abt book four for multiple hours unending so let’s not open tjat can of worms

I do have some ship takes that would get me hung at the gallows by certain ppl tho like I do NOT like Leomal or jamikali rlly any rook ship (I don’t mind rookvil I actually kinda like it but anything else is HWEEh *chill runs down my body* but that may just be bcuz I don’t like rook-)

Is not liking rook a hot take?? I know I’m not the only rook hater in this shit. Ok I don’t hate him but like. HES WEIRD. HES WEIRD AND I DONT LIKE HIM. OR HIS HAIR

I DONT LIKE SEBEK EITHER THERES A TAKE

He has grown on me I will admit he has definitely grown on me (also I haven’t played book 7 yet) BUT unfortunately he is also annoying 💔

I got way off topic there but yeah ship takes I don’t get why Leomal and jamikali are like some of the most popular ships cuz like I love a good enemies/rivals to lovers just as much as the next guy but Leomal just… the vibes… the vibes are off

And don’t even get me STARTED on jamikali AAAA their dynamic is so interesting as like a non romantic thing and I am so fascinated by them I love fics of them that don’t ship them esp angst IF YOU HAVE ANY NON SHIP SCARABIA FIC RECS GIVE THEM TO ME IMMEDIATELY

OK WAIT I KNOW WHAT MY HOTTEST TAKE IS

I do not find Malleus particularly attractive. Like I love his character so much and he’s so like ack I wanna eat him and like. Have a long philosophical discussion w him and I definitely see the appeal w fanart n stuff but his canon design just doesn’t do it for me… idk why cuz like he doesn’t have any archetypes or design choices i dislike like generally I love long haired characters n like the tall dark and handsome type and horns n whatnot idk what it is abt him??? And even in some of his card arts I can see it like his broomquet groovy and he is OBJECTIVELY pretty jsut not like anymore than most of the other cast imo??? Maybe it’s just his live2d??? Idk idk I love malleus but I just don’t think he’s as hot as everyone considers him? Am I gonna be hung? Crucified? Idk. This was a rant and a half thanks for coming

"Burrow"

1.3k RookVil fanfic, Rated T

Summary: Lately, Vil's begrudgingly found that there's only one cure when he can't sleep. He tries not to think about what else it might mean. Light angst, insomnia, pre-relationship (but only just), mostly just a sweet moment between them, mild Book 6 spoilers
