#yuu and grim

[himasgod]

idk if you'll do this since it isn't rlly a "ship", but i've recently been thinking about a Player/Yuu and Reader friendship or even parental relationship!!! this is technically all inspired by an Ao3 fic where Reader is also in the ramshackle dorm because their cuz so cool and "powerful" the mirror couldn't assign them to a dorm heh, and the year after is when Yuu wakes up (game starts) making Reader a second year and House warden!!!

i think this is a rlly cool concept and wanted to see if there is anything you could add to it cuz i like ur writing ^^

preferably Male of Gn reader!! and Yuu's gender doesnt matter :))

YUU AND READER

Where Yuu arrives new to NRC, and you are in charge of protecting them

I DON'T KNOW IF I UNDERSTOOD THE CONCEPT YOU WERE REFERRING TO, but I really enjoyed writing this, I hope you like it!

The first time you meet Yuu, they’re covered in soot, half-conscious, and gripping a flaming broom like their life depends on it.

You blink. Then blink again.

“Crowley,” you say flatly, arms crossed, “you didn’t tell me you were dumping another stray into my dorm.”

The headmage laughs nervously.

“My dear, you know Ramshackle is practically made for wayward souls!”

You look down at the soot-streaked human. Their uniform is a size too big, and their eyes are wide with confusion. Grim is clinging to their leg like a plushie.

"...They’re not even from here, are they?"

“Technically, neither are you,” Crowley points out.

You don’t dignify that with a response.

That night, you patch Yuu up in the creaky lounge with what little your dorm budget allows: a med kit you bartered from Riddle, a blanket sewn by Deuce (badly), and some tea Trey taught you to brew with dandelion roots.

They keep blinking at you like you might vanish.

“So,” you say, settling onto the other dusty couch.

“You're stuck here. Got no magic. Crowley’s about as helpful as a broken cauldron.”

Yuu nods slowly.

“Then I guess you live here now.”

They blink again. “What?”

“I’m the Housewarden of Ramshackle,” you say simply. "You stick with me, follow my rules, and I’ll make sure you don’t get eaten alive.”

“Is that a figure of speech or a real threat?”

“…It’s NRC. You’ll figure it out.”

Over time, it becomes a routine.

Yuu nearly gets turned into a statue? You’re there before it happens, yanking them out of harm’s way by the back of their collar.

Grim eats too much? You carry his unconscious body bridal-style to the infirmary while threatening to gut Ace if he laughs.

Crowley forgets to give Yuu lunch money? You “borrow” some from Azul’s stash and promise to pay it back.

You’re not always warm. Not the nurturing type. But you are constant.

And when Yuu has nightmares about being stuck in a world that doesn’t want them, you're always sitting in the hallway outside their door—half-asleep, arms crossed, guarding the space like it’s sacred.

One day, after a particularly rough Spelldrive practice, Yuu brings you a flower crown they made out of wild clover.

“For your desk,” they say awkwardly. “Or... for your head. I dunno.”

You stare at it.

It’s lopsided. Messy. Falling apart a little at the end.

You kneel and let them place it on your head without a word.

Grim bursts out laughing.

“You look like a fairy princess!”

You don’t move. Don’t flinch.

“…You done?”

Grim’s wheezing.

You stand slowly. Loom over him.

Yuu smirks. “Run.”

Grim runs.

You chase him across the front lawn, crown still slipping down your head.

You never say it, but it’s obvious to anyone who visits Ramshackle:

The ghosts avoid Yuu now—not out of malice, but respect.

The dorm is cleaner, warmer, decorated with mismatched things you and Yuu both picked out.

And sometimes, when you think no one’s listening, you’ll knock on Yuu’s door before curfew just to say:

“Proud of you. Don’t let the chaos eat you. Sleep before midnight or I’m locking the windows.”

Yuu's Daily Life: With Grim!!

I already have this kind of idea for quite some time now, but only these past few days that I got time to write and do such stuffs.

Anyways, every 'chapter' of this Mini-Series will feature a different TWST character and/or multiple characters.

without further yapping, here comes the Story.

Happy Reading!!! or not

====================

The rain pounded against the windows of Ramshackle Dorm, turning the outside world into a a different shades of grey. The wind howled through the cracks in the old walls, making the wooden structure groan under its force.

Yuu pulled their blanket tighter around their shoulders and sighed, staring into the flickering flames of the fireplace.

It had been a long day, longer than usual, even by Night Raven College standards.

Morning classes had been tolerable, but the afternoon had spiraled into chaos. Ace and Deuce had gotten themselves into trouble again, dragging Yuu along for the ride.

Crowley had conveniently disappeared when they needed him the most, as he always did.

By the time Yuu had returned to Ramshackle, exhausted and soaked from the rain, they barely had the energy to light the fire and collapse onto the couch.

Grim, on the other hand, was as lively as ever. The little cat-like monster sprawled out on the floor, his tail flicking lazily as he stared at the ceiling. “Ugh, this rain’s been goin’ on all day,” he grumbled, rolling onto his back. “If I get any wetter, I might just melt! Do ya know how hard it is bein’ this fluffy?”

Yuu chuckled, shifting in their blanket cocoon. “I’m sure it’s a great burden.”

“It is!” Grim huffed, rolling back onto his belly. “You wouldn’t get it, bein’ a human an’ all. You don’t gotta deal with fur maintenance.” He lifted a paw and inspected it dramatically. “That’s serious business, ya know.”

Yuu smirked. “Oh, really? Then maybe I should stop brushing you after baths.”

Grim bolted upright, his ears twitching. “Oi! That’s different!” His voice was gruff, but his tail gave a little wag. “Yer not bad at it, so I guess I’ll allow it.”

Yuu snorted, reaching down to scratch behind his ears. He leaned into their touch instinctively, though he would never admit it. The fire crackled in the silence, filling the room with a gentle warmth. Outside, the storm continued to rage, the wind rattling the old windows.

For a while, they sat in comfortable quiet. Grim eventually curled up on the floor again, tail wrapped around himself like a fluffy cinnamon roll. Yuu leaned back against the couch, staring into the fire.

“You know,” they started after a long pause, “when I first got here, I thought I’d be alone.”

Grim’s ears twitched, and he lifted his head. “Whaddaya mean?”

Yuu sighed. “I mean… I don’t belong here. No magic, no way home. Everyone else has their own place in this world, but I’m just…” They hesitated. “I figured I’d just be some extra in everyone else’s story.”

Grim was quiet for a moment. Then, with a huff, he stood up, walked over to the couch, and, without hesitation, plopped himself right onto Yuu’s lap.

“Yer not alone,” he muttered, his fur warm against their legs. “You got me.”

Yuu blinked down at him in surprise. He wasn’t looking at them, his gaze focused on the fire, but his tail was curled around their arm, and he was making a soft, barely audible purring sound.

They smiled, gently stroking his back. “Yeah,” they murmured. “I do.”

For all his bravado, Grim wasn’t the type to say things like that outright. He was loud, mischievous, and always ready to boast about how great he was.

But he had been there since day one, since the moment Yuu had woken up in this strange world. Even when everything else felt uncertain, Grim was a constant.

Yuu leaned back against the couch, relaxing for the first time that day. Grim shifted slightly, making himself more comfortable, and let out a long sigh.

“…Since we’re havin’ a moment an’ all,” he muttered, voice muffled against their blanket, “ya gotta admit somethin’, too.”

Yuu raised an eyebrow. “Oh? And what’s that?”

“That I’m the best thing that ever happened to ya,” Grim declared proudly, turning his head to look up at them. “C’mon, admit it!”

Yuu laughed, shaking their head. “Yeah, yeah. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Grim puffed out his chest, pleased. “’Course I am.”

The storm continued outside, but inside Ramshackle, everything felt warm. Safe. Right.

I love you Grimy,nothing can change that

Talking weasel and Hench-human

a/n: Because i miss my cats 😔💔

sypnosis: Some daily interactions between you and Grim, platonic of course. This feels like a found family situation, very familial love.

credits: divider by @/kiyaedits

Since you still lack money to refurbish Ramshackle, you and Grim sleep in the same bed. You get 30% of the bed space, and the rest is for Grim. On rare occasions, when it gets super warm, Grim will sleep on your face because he claims it feels cooler, while you're having difficulty breathing underneath him. Ace gets the opportunity to see you with new, weird bed hair each day, and he gets a kick out of it.

When you buy groceries and cook in Ramshackle, Grim is either hovering around and pestering you, telling you he's hungry, or he's on the floor tugging at your pants, asking you when the food will be ready. If you're eating at the cafeteria, you have to eat fast; otherwise, Grim will be gobbling down your food too. Jack always reminds you to eat slower in fear of choking. (You do quite often, sadly.)

You're having class together? Grim is sitting on your lap, and he keeps getting distracted. It's like having a kid with ADHD, except it's a talking cat who resorts to setting fires too easily. Oftentimes, your pocket money goes to fixing whatever Grim has broken, and when you scold him for it, he gets upset and sulks for a bit. He hates it when you scold him because, although he never says it, he actually loves you a lot. It's up to Jack or Epel to find him and attempt to cheer him up, so you won't worry about him anymore.

All in all, the two of you love each other in a familial manner, and if you ever leave NRC, Grim would be absolutely heartbroken and inconsolable. No amount of tuna could ever make him stop crying or thinking about you, and he won't ever be his cheery, carefree self as long as you're not with him. (He needs his emotional support Hench-human)

[haruhar-u]

Oooo! This winter event of urs seems so cool!

Is it ok if I have reader saying “You started this snowball fight, and now I have to finish it.” with Grim? And ofc platonically!

a/n: sorry this is short, I’m trying to ease back into writing after a short hiatus due to burn out.

Also warning for potential ooc

Crash, A snowball hit you, in the face as you were attempting to see if Tsunotarou is here or not. Ouch. You turn around and see your blue fire gremlin weasel cat snickering as he tossed a snowball from mittened paw to paw, snickering. He threw another at you and you just narrowly dodged it. 

“Grim-“ You begin before you get hit by another one. Oh it’s on now. You dashed to take cover behind an oak tree as Grim wasn’t looking. Hastily, you formed snowball after snowball until you had enough to fight back. You picked up your snowballs of terror and headed towards Grim throwing them as you walked with the occasional one getting thrown back at you

“-Name- stop it, Grim the great commands you!” He says between fits of giggles.

“Nuh uh. You started this snowball fight and I’m going to finish it” You throw one final one at him before you help him up. “Now, how does warming up by the fire sound?”

Cater has finally, finally decided to confess his feelings to Malleus. Uncertain of how to do so, he asks each dorm leader for their advice which is, frankly, a bad idea. The dorm leaders give Cater increasingly terrible advice on how to confess and each confession attempt goes horribly wrong.

Can I request Grim finding Yuu crying a little and she admits she had a pet back home and she's worried about whether or not anyone is taking good care of it?

GRIM AND READER

Where he finds you crying because you miss your pet

It was well past lights-out when Grim noticed you weren’t in bed.

He used to curl up at the foot of the bed while talking in his sleep.

At first, he thought maybe you were raiding the kitchen again. He even considered joining — you always snuck him snacks when the coast was clear.

But when he followed the light into the lounge and didn’t hear the clatter of pots or complaints about cafeteria food, something felt off.

He found you curled up on the old couch, back to the door, your shoulders trembling just slightly.

“Hey… what’re you doin’ sittin’ here like some kinda ghost?” Grim asked, padding over.

“You’re gonna catch a cold or somethin’ dumb like that.”

You wiped your eyes quickly and glanced over your shoulder. “Sorry,” you said, voice hoarse.

“Didn’t mean to wake you up.”

“Hmph. I wasn’t sleepin’ anyway,” Grim muttered, hopping up onto the couch beside you.

“The great Grim doesn’t need beauty rest! …But you do look awful right now. Your face’s all messed up.”

You let out a sad chuckle and shook your head. “Thanks.”

He stared at you for a second, ears twitching.

“You were cryin’, weren’t ya?”

You hesitated. “…Yeah. A little.”

Grim sat down with a thump, clearly not planning on leaving.

“What happened? If someone was mean to ya, just point me in their direction. I’ll set their homework on fire.”

You smiled again, weakly. “It’s not that. I was just… thinking about home.”

“Home?” Grim echoed, a little quieter now.

You nodded.

“I had a pet. A cat. Her name’s Mochi. I raised her since she was tiny. She used to sleep at the foot of my bed every night.”

You looked down at your hands.

“I didn’t get to say goodbye when I got pulled into this world. I don’t know if anyone’s taking care of her, or if she’s even okay.”

Grim was quiet for a beat. Then he snorted.

“Of course she’s okay. Probably got someone feedin’ her the good tuna. Sittin’ on your pillow like she owns the place.”

“I hope so,” you murmured, rubbing your sleeve across your eyes. “But she’s scared of people she doesn’t know. I just keep thinking… what if she’s waiting for me to come back?”

Grim frowned. he looked away, huffing through his nose.

“Look, I dunno nothin’ about your world. But I know you. And if that cat was yours, she’s gotta be tough. Bet she’s waitin’ for you just like you’re waitin’ for her.”

“…Thanks, Grim.”

He glanced at you, then grumbled under his breath.

“Don’t go gettin’ all sappy on me.”

Still, he nudged your side with his head before settling down next to you, curling up with his tail flicking over your arm.

“Besides,” he added, eyes already drooping,

“you’ve got me now. The Great Grim. Most fearsome, most loyal, most brave in all of Twisted Wonderland. I’ll keep ya company ‘til you can go home.”

You smiled, eyes stinging again — but this time it wasn’t all sadness.

“I wouldn’t want anyone else.”

“…Darn right you wouldn’t.”
