TwistedStuck: INTERMISSION - Meteor Baby

In which Divus Crewel finds himself a father after a baby lands in his front yard

Papa Crewel AU belongs to @adrianasunderworld , TwistedStuck AU and its characters belong to me, Homestuck belongs to Andrew Hussie, Twisted Wonderland belongs to Disney

Author’s note: I couldn’t resist mashing two AUs together x)

Divus Crewel likes to think of himself as a logical young man. The situation in front of him tests that disposition.

“Well, isn’t this a curious sight...” Perhaps he was under-reacting, but how would you react if a meteor crash landed into your front yard? His loyal hounds growl at the meteor, standing beside their master. Divus’s train of thought was broken when one of the dogs start inspecting the fallen rock. “Anita!” Divus called out. “Come back”

Instead of returning, Anita barks at him, whining at the man. Divus’s eyebrow raised. Had Anita found something that worried her? He cautiously walks toward the meteor, the pack following him.

A baby crawling on top of the meteor awaits him. Millions of questions immediately run through his mind. Who’s baby was this? Why was it sitting on the meteor? Why was it wearing glasses?!

The baby coos at him, reaching his- Divus thinks its a boy- hands towards Crewel.

“Hold on, pup-”

Just then, the child disappears from the meteor in a blurry flash. Before he could panic, Divus finds himself holding onto something. He looks down, and sees red eyes staring at him. Perhaps it was the baby’s latent abilities developing early, but Divus certainly would not like any more surprises. He looks at the child with an amused smile, adjusting his grip so the child is more comfortable.

“You’re just full of surprises, aren’t you?”

The baby babbles, Divus chuckling in response. His hounds are now looking at the baby with curiosity, tails wagging as they sniff at the child. He back looks at the meteor, walking closer.

“Did this meteor come with anything else, or is it just you?”

One of his hounds walk over to him carrying a stuffed bird in its mouth. He examines the bird. Its a seagull with a red ribbon tied around its neck. Divus takes a closer look at the ribbon.

“Yuue Striderbert...”

He looks at the child, and notices the streak of white in his hair. Divus smiles, wagging a finger at the baby. “Well... I suppose you need somewhere to stay while I find your parents, hmm?”

Yuue babbles again, tiny hands gripping Divus’s finger.

“Alright, but no more of that flashy move of yours until you’re older! I can’t have my pup disappearing from my sight.” He laughs, walking back towards his home.

The meteor will have to wait, Divus needs to buy a few things.

Ngl I drew this pic earlier and like

I'm still brainrotting over this haha

I tried to keep the general homestuck style present while still having my own twist (hehe) on it

It's funny that you mention Venti because I legit described Yuue fighting like a catalyst user in Genshin Impact because of his choice of weaponry lol. Expanding on that, in Homestuck characters pick their strife specibi/weapon by selecting it on a card. Yuue using books as his weapon calls back to Rose Lalonde, who uses knitting needles and later on actual magic wands. So I thought Yuue being able to use magic tomes despite not having any actual magic prior to attaining his Breath powers works in canon xD

But anyway, Yuue knows that he's running out of time because Madame Rosehearts will definitely do something to him. So before she does, Yuue gets to work stirring up the seeds of revolution in the NRC students. Because although Mrs. Rosehearts holds power, who is to say she can control a mass of angry students looking to oust her? Yuue conscripts Idia's help for discreet recording devices so they can capture evidence of Mrs. Roseheart's wrongdoing.

Eventually, when the time comes and Yuue is meant to be expelled, he begins a rally.

(I hope you don't mind the bit of blood there, but imagine that this is Yuue holding the NRC flag while the students stand behind him)

Madame Rosehearts is obviously not going to go down without a fight, but Yuue refuses to budge. This could lead to Mrs. Rosehearts overblotting, since the rebellious spirits of the NRC students have been stirred earlier, so they could have been making things difficult for Madame Rosehearts beforehand.

I feel like Riddle joining the rally would be the final push for Mrs. Rosehearts to overblot. hehe.

We don't really bring up how in this au the students can just...not listen. Like do a whole school wide walk out/protest/rally against her. There's more of them then her, and we all know the staff doesn't like her very much and may feign that they're outraged too.

Crewel in a monotone voice: no. Stop. Bad dogs....Well I tried.

But Riddle joining in on it would very much be the thing to push her over the edge. Like maybe she's using her magic to try and subdue the students at such a rate that she's accumulating more blot than her stone can handle, and then she sees Riddle with Yuue in the crowd. Maybe Riddle knew his mom was going to unjustly expel him and send him off and that was the final shove Riddle needed to fully tear away from her.

It’s been a while, but here’s some sketches of Yuue using different BOOKs! Text and other info under the cut:

Using notebook:

“call an ambulance...”

“but not for me.”

- Rolls up notebook to wield as a dagger.

Using Fairytales and Myths

- Similar to Rose’s wands, Yuue can wield magic depending on the book he’s using. But until he ascends to godhood, he’s still magicless.

Using Dictionary

- You know Phoenix Wright’s OBJECTION pop up? Yuu can basically weaponize that. Sentences are also weaponized.

Using ???

- went grimdark

- Proceed with caution

- Confused for being an overblot

📖TwistedStuck 1 (?)📖

otherwise known as: The Cool Kid in Ramshackle

Author's note: I have Yuue Stridebert Brainrot, sue me. Here's the first chapter in snippets skdhfjdbd Also, please watch out for Homestuck Spoilers!

A young man lays awake inside a coffin, staring at the 'ceiling' above him. What might this young man's name be?

[WEEZER PISSPANTS] x

Absolutely not.

[YUUE STRIDEBERT] ✔️

Your name is YUUE STRIDEBERT, and you are currently stuck in a COFFIN. You don't exactly remember how you got here, your memories suggesting that an EBONY CARRIAGE was the cause of this.

???: "Nyah... Need to get a uniform, quick!"

Now what was that?

???: "This coffin lid's real stuck. What's with this weird symbol?! But it's nothing a little fire from the great Grim can't fix!"

Wait, what the fuck-

Suddenly, you feel flames engulf the coffin. Hell no, you ain't getting fried by whoever is setting this damm coffin on fire!

Your body moves accordingly, launching yourself from the coffin at high speeds and knocking the lid into next week.

???: "FUNYAAH- Why are you awake?! Whatever, give me your uniform!"

This... Cat? Raccoon? Creature demands the uniform you are dressed in, but no way are you letting this thing mug you.

The creature lets out a surprised nyaaah- when you Quickstep from view, running into the halls.

Whoever designed this place clearly had an aesthetic they vibed with, and you were honestly digging it. Reminds you of something your sister would love if she were here with you.

But that kind of thinking had to wait, as the creature had managed to catch up with you. You didn't want to intiate a strife, but it seems you might have to.

GRIM: "Thought you could run from the great Grim, huh?! Wait, what are you GYA-"

Grim, as the creature referred to himself, didn't stand a chance against you. Though you weren't as good of a fighter as you DAD, you can defend yourself.

Besides, you consider it a bragging right to beat others with BOOKKIND.

Anyway, as soon as you were done whacking the creature with your notebook, you hear someone clapping behind you.

???: "Well done on disciplining your familiar! I expected you to be a troublemaker, but I can see that you managed to get the situation under control."

Confused, you turned your attention to whomever was praising you.

You... Weren't entirely sure what you were looking at, but your instincts were telling you that there was no way the man standing in front of you was human.

???: Anyway young man, let's get you to the ceremony. You've caused us a bit of trouble when you turned up late.

YUUE: uhhh, sir? where exactly is this place? i mean i woke up in a coffin of all things, and i got blasted by that weird creature thign.

???: Oho? Has the transportation spell left you disoriented?

So the man fills you in.

Apparently, you're in a place called NIGHT RAVEN COLLEGE, a prestigious school where students are choosed via EBONY CARRIAGE. You are currently speaking to DIRE CROWLEY, the HEADMAGE of NRC.

You aren't entirely sure how this is going to work, considering you don't posses an ounce of MAGIC. Only the CREATORS are stated to wield powers, but you wouldn't be surprised if somehow you were gifted with even a smidge of their power.

However, Crowley had dragged both you and Grim away before you could explain, the latter being bound in Crowley's LASH OF LOVE for trying to attack you during your conversation.

You arrived at the ceremony, which seems to be in its tail end. Crowley ushers you towards the DARK MIRROR and asks you to speak your name to it.

So you do.

DARK MIRROR: YUUE STRIDEBERT...

DARK MIRROR: Your soul is surrounded by the BREEZE. To bind such a FREE SPIRIT to any dorms would calm the WINDS.

DARK MIRROR: Therefore, all dorms are ill-suited to you. You remain dormless.

Whispers start circulating from the students, varying from pity, mockery, or questioning, but you can't help but be alarmed by the MIRROR'S words.

Surely not...? It must have been mistaken.

Your train of thought is derailed when Grim releases himself from the bindings, claiming that if you cannot be sorted into any dorm, then he shall take your place.

Chaos ensues, things are on fire, but many students have cried out in alarm when they witnessed you quickstepping to catch up with the two students pursuing Grim.

After capturing Grim, Crowley goes to berate you for not disciplining him properly. You decide that enough was enough.

YUUE: yeah uh, sir crowley? this dude ain't mine.

CROWLEY: Er, what?

YUUE: he's the one who blasted me with fire when i was in the coffin, i'm pretty sure if he was mine he wouldn't be doing that in the first place.

Grim is prompty sent away, and Crowley instructs the DARK MIRROR to send you back home.

Or not.

Apprently, EARTH C doesn't exist.

Normally, any person would pirouette off the handle when given the news that they wouldn't be able to go back home.

But you?

You kept your cool. No use running around like a headless chicken.

So when Crowley sent you to RAMSHACKLE for the time being, you decide to get it fixed up. Quality of life stuff will have to wait until you have the time. For now, survivability was key.

You were making some good progress when you see Grim appear. Apparently, he got past security somehow.

He tells you why he's here, how he's wanted to be a great magician and learn at NRC. But the EBONY CARRIAGE never came for him, so he got desperate.

Honestly, you can't help but sympathize with the lil' guy.

But before you could do anything else, three GHOSTS appear in front of you. Too bad you can't do anything about them...

Or can you?

See, while you whacked Grim with a regular NOTEBOOK, you had another book registered in your STRIFE SPECIBUS.

Your sister claims that you'd be able to do magic with it, but you haven't got the chance to test it out.

You swap out your NOTEBOOK for FAIRYTALES AND MYTHS.

The ghosts and Grim and audibly shocked when the book floats in front of you as you jut your hand towards one of the spirits, pink-gold sunshine striking it.

You and Grim work together to best the ghosts.

Crowley arrives, ducking in time to avoid a fairy blast. He's absolute shocked that you were able to do magic!

You tried your best to explain that it was only your book, that you truly were magicless, but Crowley wouldn't hear it.

You weren't an official student though, you had no dorm to speak of!

In the end, Crowley decided that you and Grim are going to be the handymen of the school while he tries finding you a way home.

Good enough. With enough cleaning and patience, you and Grim have a decently cleaned bed to sleep on.

As Grim sleeps away, you stare at the ceiling with one thought in mind.

YUUE: ...joye's totally gonna freak out once she realizes im gone.

📖TwistedStuck: Knight of Breath📖

CW: Depictions of blood, Character death, Swearing

Author’s note: I know I should finish writing the prologue out first, but things have been happening on my end and I wanted to try writing something a little heavier than usual

Yuue’s head felt like it was swimming through a dark expanse, the heavy magic in the air clogging his reason. Muffled screams catch his attention. A furry blob cries at him. What was happening?-

“Riddle, stop!”

“No! I am correct, I am the law! OFF WITH THE HEADS OF THOSE WHO DARE OPPOSE THE QUEEN’S RULE!”

Right. Riddle had overblot. He needed to do something about it, but-

Red coats his hand. A numbed feeling in his stomach. The rosebushes were everywhere, stained in crimson.

Slowly pushing himself up, blood spatters as he coughs, Yuue Stridebert assess the situation.

To put it simply, shit had flown off the handle.

“Mr. Stridebert, I must insist that you lay down!” A familiar black beak would crow. “You are critically injured, if you moved any further you’ll end up dying!”

“...Ace... Deuce...”

Grim frowns, standing besides Yuue. “Those two dummies are fighting Riddle, and Trey and Cater are helping them!”

“Help... I need to... Help them.” His trusty book floats pitifully besides him.

“No! I ain’t letting my henchman die on me!” Screamed Grim. “You gotta stay down!”

He can’t do that. Not when the Scarlet Tyrant rampages. Surely there must be something he can do, something like the knights in his book had done-

And that’s when it hits him.

Crowley jumps when a grey bottle materializes into Yuue’s hand, the boy handing it to him.

“Break it...”

“What-”

“Just... Do it...”

With no further questions, Crowley smashes the bottle to the ground. He blanches upon seeing the familiar blue coffin, even more so as Yuue starts crawling to it.

“Henchman, no! You didn’t need to be this prepared, we can still save ya!” Grim cried out as Yuue attempts to push open the coffin lid.

“Shut up and help me... ‘fore I bleed out.”

“But-”

“Grim, please. This is the only way we’ll have a chance at beating Riddle.”

Silence follows.

“Then, as your dutiful headmaster, I shall assist you.”

Crowley walks over and pushes the lid aside. He tries to ignore the tightness in his heart as he lifts Yuue into his arms.

“I still do not understand what your plan is here,” Crowley admits. He sets the boy inside the coffin, Grim peeking inside.

“Yeah! What are ya gonna accomplish by dying?!”

Instead of an answer, Yuue smiles.

“Just trust me on this... Now, close that coffin, will you...? I don’t want you guys watching me bleed to death.”

Crowley lets out a heavy sigh.

“Very well.”

Yuue watches as the light is shut off.

Truthfully, he does not know if this plan of his would work. But as his blood bleeds into the soft plush beneath him, he feels the wind beginning to pick up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We can’t keep going on like this!” Ace screamed as he ducked under a blast of magic from Riddle. “I’m starting to drop dead over here!”

“What choice do we have? We have to keep fighting!” Trey yelled.

“Enough of this!” Riddle roared. “It’s time you disobedient fiends taste justice!”

But just as the Scarlet Tyrant was about to let loose, strong gusts of gale begin threatening to blow them all away. Deuce scream as he was picked in the air, but was quickly grabbed by Ace, who is then grabbed by a distressed Cater. The four Heartslabyul students hang on to dear life, while Riddle growls.

“What’s this now? Has another knave come to defy me?!”

Ace forces his head to look towards the new opponent, gasping in shock. “Holy SHIT!”

There, Yuue floats, cloaked in cyan and blue clothing, a strange symbol printed on his chest. The gale that was threatening to blow them all to kingdom come seems to be coming directly from him.

“Damn right I came to defy you,” Yuue replies, his voice traveling with the breeze. “And it’s time you learn that those rules are fucking bullshit.”

“How DARE YOU!” Screamed Riddle. “I’ll have your head for this!”

Yuue shifts into a fighting stance.

“Come and get me then, fucker.”

Otherwise known as: The first time Yuue has facepalmed, and this will not be the last.

Author’s note: The format is a little different today because I’m writing this from my PC instead of my phone this time! Anyway... Let’s meet Ace, shall we?

Turns out, yesterday wasn’t some elaborate hallucination or a dream. You really were stuck here until Crowley finds a way to send you back home.

Yours and Grim’s task for the day is to clean up the Main Street. Should be easy enough, but considering the chaos that was your first day, you really don’t want to push your luck.

GRIM: Hmph, I can’t believe we got stuck cleaning this place like a bunch of janitors.

YUUE: hey, at least be a little grateful youre still here. didnt crowley say he was gonna turn you into stew?

GRIM: Nyaagh?! He was going to do what to me?

YUUE: lmao.

GRIM: Grr... Don’t mock me, henchman! You should be lucky I haven’t disintegrated you by now!

YUUE: whatevs, lets just get this sweeping over with. these statues give me the creeps.

GRIM: Fine. What’s with this lady anyway?

???: You don’t know the Queen of Hearts?

Uh oh. This guy with the heart makeup, he just REEKS of trouble. He gives you and Grim a grin.

The boy is named ACE TRAPPOLA, a freshman at NRC. He gives both you and Grim exposition about the statues.

Apparently, these statues are of the GREAT SEVEN, a septet of Twisted Wonderland’s heroes. In order was the QUEEN OF HEARTS, THE KING OF BEASTS, THE SEA WITCH, THE SORCERER OF SANDS, THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN, THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD, and THE THORN FAIRY.

Each of the dorms in NRC are based on the Great Seven’s qualities.

You briefly wondered what dorm you would have been sorted in had the Mirror deemed any of them worthy for you.

Your musings are cut short when Ace began laughing at Grim’s confusion.

ACE: Pfft... Ah ha ha! I can't hold it back anymore! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Come on, you're the ones who turned orientation into such a fiasco, right? The one summoned by the Dark Mirror who can't even use magic, and the monster no on summoned at all.

ACE: It took everything I had not to burst into laughter right in the middle of the ceremony!

You sighed. It seems like your gut was correct. Grim was quick to defend against Ace, but the boy pressed on, cracking about how you two should head back to kindergarten before attending the college.

Luckily, Ace was ready to leave...

Or so you thought.

Grim had decided to fight for his honor, and Ace accepted his challenge.

You however, were having none of it.

YUUE: grim, dude! back off right now, fighting here ain’t good!

GRIM: Stay out of this henchman- Actually, wait! Why aren’t you helping me with that weird sparkly magic of yours?!

ACE: Pfft, you’re just trying to deny it! Whoa! That was close!

One thing lead to another, and the Queen of Hearts was charred. You facepalmed. Hard.

Crowley arrived to unleash his Lash of Love upon the monster and freshman while you buried your face in your hands. It’s a miracle you haven’t broken the damn things.

Needless to say, Crowley was furious. Ace was threatened with expulsion, while you were reprimanded for not keeping Grim under control.

Your punishment?

Washing 100 windows.

YUUE: oh, thats it?

CROWLEY: Just what do you mean, “that’s it?”

YUUE: i mean idk, I thought you were gonna make us do something harder

ACE: What else could have been harder than washing 100 windows?

YUUE: strifing- or well, fighting the headmage.

CROWLEY: Goodness no, perish the thought! Although charring the Queen of Hearts is a serious offense, I wouldn’t fight my students, for I am so kind.

GRIM: Geez, just what kinda place did you come from, Yuue?

YUUE: someplace that’s different from twisted wonderland, thats for sure.

So now, you have to wash 100 windows with Grim and Ace.

Whether the latter will show up, however, is a mystery.

You have a feeling that he’d flake on you both.

Author’s note: It’s my first time writing fanfic for TWST, I hope I’m doing this right! Post might be a little short, but I hope you’ve enjoyed nonetheless!

[spiteful--art]

some rough drawings of Joye Eglonde, Yuue Stridebert's sister :3 I really love her hair turned out, it's a literal cloud lmao

As for why she's a Space player instead of a Breath or Void player, well there's really no real reason! She's a Space Player bc she's a Space player. Sure, Yuue inherited the Knight class from Dave, and the Breath aspect from John, but that doesn't mean Joye has to conform to the inheritance thing. Besides, I already conceptualized her as a Seer of Space from the beginning, so there's really no going back xD

📖TwistedStuck 3📖

Otherwise known as: Yuue getting tired of Ace and Grim’s shit

Author’s note: Waaah, it’s been a while! I haven’t had the time to write in a while, but now I can relax and just let the words flow again <(＿　＿)>

Also, I’m changing the format to a more traditional style of writing because I’m lazy

Yuue’s instincts were correct.

Grim and he were waiting in the cafeteria for the first year to show his face, the human crossing his arms and tapping his foot. The monster sits on the floor, glaring at nothing in particular.

“Gr... I’m starting to believe that that guy flaked out on us!” Growled Grim, standing up and putting his hands on his hips. “Can you believe that, henchman?!”

“Yeah, dude bailed out on us. Not fair considering we gotta wash a fuck-ton of windows,” Yuue replied, clicking his tongue in disappointment. “I say we drag that jerk’s ass over here.”

“Just what I was thinking. Come on, henchman!”

                                                     ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

“...Darn that guy, makin’ us look for him-” Grim grumbles. The two of them walked around the library, on the prowl for the missing student. Yuue hums, though his attention is drawn to the numerous books on display. He could just feel the power radiating off some of the tomes.

...But priorities first. He stops in front of a painting moving quite animatedly.

“You two look like you need some assistance!”

“A talking painting?” Yuue questioned, raising a brow. “Well I guess that’s to be expected, this is a damn magic school.”

“Language, young man!” The painting chided. “Why, I expected better from such a polite looking lad. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”

“Okay jegus dude, sorry-”

“Hmph! Anyway, what exactly are you two looking for?”

“We’re looking for this guy named ‘Ace Trappola.’ He’s shirking his punishment with us!” Grim replies. “He’s got a heart tattoo on his left eye, and he’s got red hair.”

“Oh I think I saw him go back to his dorm, in the eastern side.”

That’s all the information Yuue needed to know. Grim lets out a yelp of protest when Yuue picks him up, the boy giving a nod to the painting.

In a flash, Yuue had disappeared, leaving the painting quite confused. He sighs.

“Kids these days, I swear...”

                                                    ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

A young man mumbles to himself in the Hall of Mirrors, walking towards a particular looking glass. “Hmph, as if I’ll wash a hundred windows-”

“Ace Trappola, you punk.”

“Got you now, jerk!”

“HOLY SEVENS HOW THE HECK DID YOU GUYS GET HERE-”

Ace jumps in surprise, faced with the irate expressions of the school’s handymen, Grim riding on Yuue’s shoulder. The Heartslabyul student correctly follows his instincts and runs. Though perhaps he shouldn’t have looked back.

For the sight of Yuue Stridebert dashing towards you with a menacing expression is a terrifying sight.

“Out of the way!” Screamed Ace, pushing another Heartslabyul student out of the way.

“Hey- What gives?!”

“You aren’t getting out of your responsibilities, dude!” Yuue yelled.

The declaration of intention catches the dark haired student’s attention. “Hey, that’s not right! But how to help...”

“It doesn’t matter what, just do something!” Grim shouts. The dark haired student nods and pulls out his pen.

“I SUMMON THEE... SOMETHING HEAVY!”

CLANG!

A cauldron drops on Ace, pinning the student to the ground. “A pot? Seriously?!”

“Haha, he got smushed by a cauldron!” Laughed Grim. Meanwhile, the dark haired student looks at the cauldron with wide eyes.

“A cauldron? I may have overdone it this time...” He mutters, desummoning the cauldron.

“Owww! What are you guys bothering me for? You coulda banged out the work yourselves!”

Yuue sighs, walking over to Ace. “Sorry not sorry dude, but Headmage Crowley says we’re gonna wash a hundred windows, and by jegus we’re washing those damn windows.”

“What the heck is a jegus-” Grim asks, before being cut off.

“Washing a hundred windows as punishment? What the heck did you do?!”

Ace grumbles. “...Me and the furball charred the statue of the Queen of Hearts.”

The dark haired student screams. “You WHAT?! No wonder the Headmage flew off the handle, by the sevens! On the first day as well, are you TRYING to get expelled?!”

“Hey, get offa my case! Who are you anyway?” Ace snapped back, glaring at the boy,

“Deuce Spade. You really don’t remember your own classmate? Uh... Um...” Deuce falters.

“Dude, I literally said his name when we got here-” Yuue deadpans. Duece gives him a sheepish smile before turning to Ace again.

“Anyway! You shouldn’t be getting out of responsibilities-”

“Fine whatever, we’re washing those windows.” Ace grumbles, before pausing. “Huh?”

Judging by the look on Yuue’s face, it seems like something’s amiss.

“Where’d the furball go-”

“Nyahaha! So long, suckers!”

The trio of boys turn their heads towards Grim’s retreating body. “I’ll let you two handle the rest!”

“Are you gog damn kidding me right now?” Yuue’s eyelid twitched.

“Yeah, you caught me so you can ditch me yourself?! You there, Juice-”

“It’s Deuce with a D!”

“Whatever, this is your fault too! You got to help us since Janitor Boy here can’t use any magic.”

Yuue says nothing, instead running after Grim.

“Wha- Hey! Don’t leave without us!” Ace yells, following after.

Deuce pulls out his pen, muttering to himself as he runs. “Just what am I getting myself into...?”

📖TwistedStuck: INTERMISSION 1📖

Otherwise known as: How does Yuue Stridebert carry his things around?

Author’s note: Just something a little fun and short bc I don’t feel like writing story progression rn

"Nyaaaah, I’m boooored...”

Yuue merely hums in response to Grim, too busy writing down the homework assigned by Professor Trein. It’s been a few days since he and Grim have been admitted into NRC, albeit as joint-students. He’s not complaining about the arrangement at all, though, as long as he’s got a place to stay until Crowley sends him home Yuue will gladly be one part of a student pair with Grim.

The little guy is starting to grow on him, anyway.

“Hey Yuue,” Grumbled Grim, rolling on his back to look up at Yuue. “Can we do something fun?”

“Well that depends,” Yuue answered. “What exactly do you want to do?”

“I don’t know, play games? It’s our free time, our chance to goof off!”

Yuue hums, bookmarking his notebook. Just as Grim was about to say something, the monster stops when he sees just what is happening to the item in question.

In the notebook’s place appears a card with it inside. The item shrinks, getting stored inside a grey bottle before being sent into a large grey cabinet. Grim stands up and points at the cabinet.

“What the heck?! Yuue, what was that?”

Yuue looks at Grim in confusion. “You mean... My fetch modus?”

“Uh, what the heck kind of name is that? But yeah! What the heck was that?”

The human rubs his head. “Uh, it’s basically the thing I use to put items in my sylladex.”

Grim squints at Yuue, crossing his arms. “You’re saying words that don’t make any sense. Besides that, is that some kind of magic from your world?”

Yuue frowns. “I keep telling you Grim, I can’t do any kind of magic. Magic isn’t a thing in my world.”

“Yeah right! That’s what you said when you started using that weird fairy magic against that monster!”

“Listen- We’re not having this conversation again. Let’s just find Ace and Deuce and see if they wanna hang out.”

Grim huffs. “Fine. But now that I know you got some weird inventory magic, we’re gonna start using it more.”

“It’s not infinite though.”

“Fnyah?! Are you serious?!”

@creativekiller101

Honestly, the grimoire Yuue is holding is just supposed to be an example of Yuue utilizing different books, but your question is making think up of story reasons why he would have it in the first place

Maybe like you said, Yuue and Grim found it somewhere. Finding it in Ramshackle and the ghosts telling Yuue it's a very bad idea to use it, or Mr. S heavily cautioning Yuue against using the grimoire too much. He didn't want to give it to Yuue since it SCREAMS bad juju, but Yuue had convinced him somehow.

The former is probably most likely, since I doubt Mr. S, as a responsible man, would even have such a dangerous item in his shop. (Or perhaps the grimoire had manifested there, and Mr. S somehow didn't notice the bad vibes until he had already given Yuue the book.)

One thing is for sure though, regardless of how the grimoire ended up with Yuue, he'll succumb to the Horrorterrors or whatever Twisted Wonderland's version of Eldrirch Abominations are and go grimdark should he be pushed too far.

And perhaps if Yuue were to somehow overblot while Grimdark...

Well, perhaps that's another story for another time :)

It’s been a while, but here’s some sketches of Yuue using different BOOKs! Text and other info under the cut:
