TWST RARE PAIR WEEK: Day 1 - Parents AU

Ship: Jack Howl x Deuce Spade (ジャクデユ)

Art + Bonus Drabble

Daddy wolf, papa bunny, baby chick

There's a softness to Deuce that wasn't there all those years ago when they were still students. He still has his little -isms. Sincere, kind, airheaded Deuce. But now theres a slight roundness to his belly, and his voice is light when he tries his best to sing a lullaby, and theres a swaddled bundle of joy tucked in between his stronger arms.

They have a baby now.

It's unbelievable to Jack. They have a baby now. The phrase echoes in his head like a broken record. Deuce has a ring on his finger, just like his, and they have a baby now.

A little cub that tugs at his ears every time Jack leans in for a kiss. A tiny chick that clings to Deuce's apron when he cooks breakfast in the morning.

Theres small footsteps in their halls. Theres warmth in every room. And theres laughter. Always so much laughter.

Jack grew up to be so big. He's so scared of holding them - Hands too large and claws too sharp for anything gentle, but Deuce grins at him. Makes fun of him for being so silly.

It's night now and Deuce is in their bed with their child. He gets to see this every night for the next growing years of their child.

"La la lu, la la lu... oh, my little star sweeper..."

Deuce's voice shakes. Jack thinks he's so perfect.

"I'll sweep the stardust for you... Ah, look, it's daddy!"

The cub gurgles a little bit. "Daaaa-ah, ah."

Deuce nods enthusiastically. "Yes. Da da."

"Daaaaaaa!"

Jack kisses their little chick's cubby cheeks. Then he settles into their bed, drawing his loves into his arms. He kisses his husband's fingers, his flushed cheeks, his lips. He does because he can. Forever.

"Daa! Ah-ah! Ooooo!!"

Their cub smacks him with all of the force of a 5 month old baby.

Jack is so surprised he doesn't even register Deuce giggling at him.

"So strong. Just like you." Deuce whispered.

"Just like you." Jack echoes.

He waits until his family sleeps before he steals another kiss.

"Thank you." For loving me. For giving me this. "Thank you."

I love you both so much.

Summary

Deuce has had a bad day. Despite his lack of knowledge on how to comfort a loved one in this sort of situation, Azul does his best.

⚡: "ARE YOU A PYRO FAE???" *sparkly eyes*

Also yea silver and ortho got the babysitting task. Ortho could make up something about his uhhh condition to lil idia maybe lmao. But he was ECSTATIC (the big bro experience is a novel thing to him). And would show pics and vids later to the first years gang. Then ace and epel never let sebek live it down gsjsgshgs poor crocboi

[usernamemybeloathed]

May I present Day 2 of my offering for TWST Rarepair Week: some TreyVil, set in the future:

The gentle noise of the teapot being put down on the table broke his chain of thought, causing him to look up at the person putting it there. As he saw him, everything fell into place. Strawberry tarts, an unassuming smile, hazel eyes looking down at him, twinkling with enquiry.  

“Vil, what’re you doing out here?”

Rules Prompts AO3 Collection Discord

Huge thanks to our collab artist for this time who helped us put together these wonderful collages!

[sky-neverending]

Hi guys! I wanted to see something before I made a whole new blog for it: would y’all be interested is a rarepair ship week for TWST sometime mid-November? if majority is yes, I’ll make a new side blog for it, and if it goes well i’ll maybe even consider doing more in the future of different themes!

[usernamemybeloathed]

And my 1st entry for TWST Rarepair week is in! This was written using the Day 1 prompt: Royalty.

"How could he even begin to explain it? That he couldn’t just ask someone out just to lose him. Just for his mother to kill it before it even started. Her rules meant that he never got what he really wanted, those things that made his heart sing and made the world look a little more colourful. Riddle wasn’t ready to let his mother take this little scrap of joy from him, because she’d do it anyway. So, it was best for him to find a reason for the whole thing to never happen, to never allow himself to feel that particular happiness. Not till he could find a more suitable partner, although she’d probably done that already and had someone lined up for him back home."

Trick or Treat~!

Pairing: Che'nya x Floyd (could be read platonically or romantically)

Summary: It's finally Halloween night, but Floyd is in a bit of a slump. However, the arrival of a curious companion may just make the Halloween party a bit more interesting for him.

Notes: This is my first attempt at something following a prompt - specifically, "Trick or Treat" for the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. I'm trying to get more comfortable/practiced with writing prose (which is why this wasn't posted on the 30th... oops), and only vaguely ended up following the prompt. I'm fairly happy with how this little piece turned out, though!

Tags: @dove-da-birb, @azulashengrottospiano, @inkybloom-luv, @eynnwwyjth, @officialdaydreamer00 (please let me know if you'd like to be included or excluded from future writing of mine, or only want to be included in specific types of creations)

Floyd wanted to take a break. 

It was Halloween, and all he had done the entire week was work, work, work. Getting costumes ready, decorating, helping with their dorm's presentation, plus cooking and serving at the Lounge, all on top of normal classes? 

Sure, it was fun, especially getting to show off Octavinelle's cool setup, and 'taking care of' those misbehaving visitors. But now? Everything felt draining and boring, and Floyd simply wanted to leave, which sucked because the actual Halloween party had just started!  

Maybe he should just ditch and go back to his dorm; being in a funk when everyone else is having fun around you is not enjoyable.  He slumped down on a bench and unwrapped a sweet he had picked up earlier, before wrapping it up again. Ugh, not even in the mood for that candy he wanted only a few minutes ago. 

As he shoved the sweet back into his pocket and was about to get up from the bench to leave, Floyd heard a rustle behind him. Someone was quietly humming, and… laughing? The sound gradually moved to his side, towards the empty side of the bench.  

“Trick or treat~”

Floyd turned to face the voice. "Listen, man, I'm not in the mood to—” he froze, staring at the figure beside him. “Hang on a second, where's your body!?"

A toothy smile came to the face of the head that currently floated beside Floyd. "Oh, it's here.... or maybe it's there." A pair of hands materialized on either side of this boy's head, followed by the rest of his body. 

“I'm just kidding. Mind if I take a seat? I’d like to rest up before I keep purrowling around and startling people.”

Floyd blinked, then raised an eyebrow. “Uh, go for it.” 

This guy was... weird, and it was hard to tell if he'd be annoying, or interesting. "You don't go here, do ya? At least, I’ve never seen you before. And you’re no ghost, either.”

The cat-like boy shook his head, his jewellery jingling softly. "I'm just passing through for the festivities and collecting treats. Scaring some people, too. That’s loads of fun. And it's always nice to see my friends let loose." 

Floyd had a vague memory surface. "Ohh... you must be that RSA boy who's friends with Sea Turtle and Goldfishie." 

"'Sea Turtle' and 'Goldfishie', hey? Those are good names for my green and red friends. Cats are known for liking fish." He leaned forward, his grin growing. “Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Floyd nodded, “Floyd Leech. It's nice to meet you, too.” He looked curiously at the boy beside him, taking in his shaggy hair, piercings, and impish smile.

"You're not what I expected.” Floyd smiled, "But you seem fun, Catfish. I didn't think Goldfishie would get along with someone so... interesting."

Che'nya's eyes lit up slightly. "Catfish? Heh heh heh, most people call me Che'nya, but I guess that works. And I’ve heard some… interesting stories about you, too."

He stretched his legs out in front of him, leaning back with his arms behind his head as he sighed. "But yeah, I don't think Riddle could shake me if he tried." 

"I'm almost jealous." Floyd tipped his head slightly. "Most of the time, Goldfishie likes to swim away before I can play with him."

Che'nya laughed, "Well, if you're wondering, he 'swam off' that way." He pointed off to the side. “Just don’t be rough with him. I don’t like people mistreating my friends.”

Floyd looked off into the crowd where he had pointed, and let out a small laugh. “Alright, good to know. Maybe I’ll find him later, if I feel like it”, he smiled and sat back. “And Goldfishie’s stronger than he looks, but I guess you’d know that.”

Che’nya nodded, then leaned closer with a mischievous glint in his eye. "You know, I bet we could do something that would really surprise him.” 

Floyd turned slightly towards Che’nya, and flashed a smile. “Yeah, we probably could. I think we should talk more in the future, Catfish. You seem pretty fun.” 

Che’nya grinned, “You seem pretty fun, too.”

"Well,” he stretched his arms above his head. “I think I’m going to go and find some more treats… and play some more tricks tonight. I'll catch you around, Floyd." 

With a haunting giggle echoing in his ears, Floyd watched as the boy beside him faded into nothingness, just the same way he had arrived. 

What a weird guy.

Floyd unwrapped the candy he had pocketed earlier, then popped it into his mouth. Maybe this party was worth staying at after all.
