#Twisted Wonderland Silver Vanrogue

[grey-eyed-menace]

"...I don't want to go."

It's said with such earnest fear, and quiet resignation, the first years small frame trembling under his gaze, it's as if Brodeur expects to be struck for voicing this thought, or punished in some other way.

"Please don't make me go, I know it's... I know it's not proper," she confessed, eyes trained on the dark stone beneath their feet, hands ringing the hem of her dorm uniforms skirt, "I know it's an insult to Noble Bell, to Rollo, to their student council, to Night Raven, and everything Diasmonja stands for, to you, but please don't make me go, please."

She expects to be denied.

Malleus feels it with every word she speaks, with every breath she wheezes, eyes clenched shut, and fingers fraying her skirt.

He can all but taste her fear, of this boy, Flamm, she says, saw the way she shrunk under his gaze, the way she flinched when he touched her, the memories that danced behind her eyes for hours afterward...

The invitation sent for her, she knows, was addressed to an Azalea Flamm, as stated by the representative of Noble Bell.

There is no Azalea Flamm present within the halls of Diasmonia, only this girl, fearful and small, but brave nonetheless.

Thorne Brodeur, what an odd name to chose for one's self, to be able to connect with it so deeply you can cast away the one given at birth...

[He thinks he has an inkling as to why Lilia seems so taken with the girl, now.]

"...what would you like to be done with the dress? And the invitation itself, I suppose."

The suprise that paints itself across her face is only second to the positively dazzling smile that appears only moments later.

"The extra invitation means you can also bring along Mx. Adelram, right?" Her smile dims just a touch, and she very nearly twirls in excitement, "And... I'll make them a dress or suit as needed for the Masque myself, if need be, I swear!"

And then she curtsies, shallow and far from proper, but the origin in it's genuine respect is not lost on him.

"Of course."

Thorne is off in the next moment, a positively delirious giggle on her lips as she disappears around a corner.

Malleus hums, thoughts straying to the dress she made no mention of disposing of.

[Vaguely, he was aware what the accesories and cut of the dress, and the clasp, symbolized.

To label your own cousin a whore, all for the fact that she did not attend the college of her families choice, what sort of man was Rollo Flamm?]

Green lightning began to strike and forsake the grey sky. Every student on campus could hear the wind howling through the thick dripping rain, a sinking feeling of dread permanating through the atmosphere.

The aged concrete walls shook from a shrill scream, the anguished cry echoing out through the hundred chambers in the castle.

"YOUNG MASTER!" Sebek drove his fingers into his scalp, screaming as thick tears dribbled down his flushed face. From his reaction, you'd think he was the one who got hurt instead.

Lilia tutted and carefully inspected Malleus' head. The young prince was laying on the ground writhing in pain. Lillia pressed his thumb against the dragon's temple, examining the Fae's reaction.

Sebek and Silver surrounded the two, ensuring that no one could get past them. Malleus was in a vulnerable state right now, he had to be protected at all costs.

"The spell was quite powerful however it's not serious. Other than some temporary mental confusion, he should be fine." Lilia muttered, helping Malleus stand up. The young prince stumbled around for a bit, almost as if he was intoxicated.

"Malleus!" You threw the doors to the dorm open, running over to the group. It's only when you got closer did you notice your lover's spinning eyes, glazed over as he blinks at the blank concrete floors. Worried out of your mind, you rushed over to him.

"Tsunotarou! I heard what happened…are you okay?" The fae appeared a little puzzled. You stood before him and he fixed his gaze on you, confused and...disgusted?

With a hint of hesitance, you reached your hands up to cup his cheeks. Only to gasp when Malleus glowered and grasped onto your wrists, ripping your hands off of his face.

Silence fell over the room as he dropped his grip on your arms, allowing them to hang limply by your sides. Everyone gawked at Malleus as if he had just grown two heads.

Malleus? Malleus rejected your affection? The Malleus who waits outside your dorm an hour before classes just to walk you to school? The Malleus who once caused a week-long storm just because he couldn't sit next to you in class? Your Malleus?

You felt your heart sink. They say drunk words were sober thoughts. Did Malleus secretly despise you?

"Listen here-" Malleus snarled, his unfocused eyes flashing a luminous emerald green. The radiance and illumination hypnotizes you for a while. A kaleidoscope of green and blue swirling around the gems that were his eyes.

"No matter how alluring you look-you can't tempt me. I-" Malleus lurched forward, nearly falling over. You ran to catch him but he pushed you away, stepping back blindly. He raised a finger at you. "I-I already have a lover!"

"Yes-That's…me?" You blinked, confused out of your mind.

Malleus only scoffs at you, shakily taking a few steps towards the entrance. It was clear that his head still shook and ached from the spell's blow. Sebek was quick to stop him, holding Malleus steady. "Young Master! Where are you going?!"

"To my-my treasure. My darling prefect." Malleus slurred, leaning against Sebek for support. He continued his rambling. "It's Thursday- We have a club meeting."

"Tsuno-I mean-Malleus, today is Tuesday." You piped up, pressing a hand against his back. With shaky legs, he pushed Sebek off and turned to glare at you.

"Silence. It is not."

Lilia laughs hysterically, doubling over and grabbing onto his knees. Oh, this was comedy gold for him. Shaking his head at his father, Silver strode up to Malleus and placed his hand on the young prince's shoulder.

"Malleus, you're still delirious. Why don't you sit down."

Both Silver and Sebek started to guide the woozy fae onto the couch. You followed suit, taking a pillow and placing it under his head. He turned to face you, his head spinning, a loopy snarl and glare on his face.

"I...I already told you- I have a lover." He groans into his hands, nausea washing over him like waves.

The fae begins frantically rummaging through his pocket. He yanks out a little locket in the form of a heart, holding it up for you to look at. He hands it to you with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"See?"

"O-Oh?"Gently taking it into your hands, you flipped the metal cover over to see a picture of you inside.

It was a photo from your very first anniversary. You were wearing a flower crown made with roses Malleus grew himself, it was one of the many gifts he gave you that day.

Though only your head and neck could be seen in the picture since his coat had almost completely engulfed you. It was a chilly day and Malleus graciously lent you his coat after you had forgotten to wear one.

You stared at the photo fondly, shutting it close before handing the necklace back to the fae.

"Your partner must be lovely." You whisper softly and Malleus sighs, lolling his head back to stare at the ceiling lovingly.

"Oh. They are much more than that."

I'm having way too much fun with this event

[boycasanova]

Twst spoilers

Lilia naming Silver after the silver moonlight beams, because he’s now a fae of the night, as a way to reclaim the color from its past silver owl association is so 🤧 Also, we learn two more UMe, Lilia’s Far Cry Cradle, which allows him to piece together people’s identities by seeing their memories, and Sebek’s Living Bolt, which conjures a wave of lightning. Do you think his UM being similar to Malleus’s unconscious magic play any part in his reverence of him?

Also, Maleanor, Malleus’s mother, and the Knight of Dawn, revealed to be Silver’s biological father, we’re finally revealed! While there are slight differences to Maleanor’s face, KOD is just Silver’s model with longer, blond hair. Also, his armor looks like Silver’s Fairy Gala costume, perhaps another example of fae and fairies reclaiming the color from the silver owls :3 Silver could also be as old as Malleus, having been born around the time his egg was laid. He’s place under a spell that makes him sleep, apparently stopping his aging as well, and isn’t found until 400 years after Lilia visits the castle again as it was taken by the humans. Silver wakes up as the magic wears off over time, Lilia says that he was already awake when he got there!

I love the confirmation that fae are being pushed out of their land, it strengthens the theory that Sage’s Island belonged to the fae until humans encroached on it. We see that play out again during camp Vargas, where they encourage the students to use violence to gather resources. It shows the disconnect in nature for the two species. They burned the woods down, decimated it for generations to come, and hindered their population… for a good grade in class. Additionally, most of the students weren’t even aware of it. Memories of ancestral right is a reoccurring theme in TWST, like Malleus gazing up at the stars through Ramshackle’s destroyed roof in book 5. The coliseum we see in book 5, during the culture fest, also bares a striking resemblance to the base we saw in the last chapter, perhaps foreshadowing that Sage’s island was fae territory before they were displaced by humans.

[cloudedgalaxies]

Thinking about how I really want the end of Book 7 not to end in a battle, even though it’d be so cool.

We’ve already seen that Malleus is incredibly powerful, and honestly as it is now, I don’t see a way for the students to be able to reasonably fight him and win. Yes, everyone at NRC is exceptionally powerful, but they’ve commented time and time again how Malleus is on a whole other level than anyone there. We’ve fought him a couple of times now, in and outside of dreams, and it has always ended in defeat.

So then how do we save him? The one way that no one would think of, except perhaps Diasomnia and definitely Yuu—the power of friendship making Malleus willingly stand down. 

Malleus has been alone for the vast majority of his life. Now, even when he is attending NRC, constantly and perpetually surrounded by students and mages, nearly everyone is too afraid of him to approach him. Because of that, when the potential of one of the few people who are near to him leaving arises, he is so terribly scared and sad that he doesn’t know what to do besides force them to stay. He would rather have the people he knows live out their days in eternal slumber and only interact with them inside their dreams than watch them age and fade and eventually disappear from his life entirely. He is willing to be the sole person in the entirety of Twisted Wonderland awake, just so that he does not have to lose a single soul.

That is an incredibly lonely fate, to be the one person left not dreaming. Of course, he can enter their dreams, control them, see them and touch them and live out lives that can endlessly and eternally restart. But that is not the same as being with them in reality. Dreams are wonderful, but they are not real. Some part of Malleus must realize that—that his actions here are condemning him to a future that is so much more isolating than what he thought. And yet, what else can he do? If he restarts time, if he reawakens everyone, they will die. They might hate him. And worst of all—they will leave, given enough time. No matter how terrible it would be to be the only person left conscious in the world, Malleus must believe that that cannot compare to the fate of being left.

So what can we do to stop him? We can certainly try to fight him. We will probably fail if we do. The mages defending the rest of the world from eternal slumber’s reserves will run dry, while Malleus will continue to rule over his domain of dreams, which will only grow larger with every attack and eventual defeat that comes.

Or, perhaps, we can try to save him. Diasomnia, as is, is not doing so well in terms of magical prowess as other dorms are: Lilia’s magic is fading, Silver is spending himself transporting himself and others from dream to dream, and Sebek, while powerful, is still only a freshman. Similarly, Ramshackle can hardly even hold a candle to everyone else: Grim, as much as he boasts, does not seem to be notably powerful (yet), and Yuu has no magic to speak of at all. 

Imagine how shocking it’d be then, if these people, so utterly weak in terms of magic, are the people who are able to take down one of the greatest mages in the world. And they don’t even do it through battle—they do it through understanding where Malleus is coming from and trying to calm his worries. They tell him that yes, people will go, and there is no way to stop it, no matter how much someone might wish for it to be so. But for every time someone leaves, someone will also come. Malleus’ world started with Lilia, and then Silver, then Sebek, and now finally Yuu. Lilia is leaving, and so might Yuu, but that does not mean that they will be gone forever. There will be memories and stories and dreams to last a lifetime, and, while their gaps will never be filled, more spaces will open up to accommodate more people. We’ve seen it through the way that Malleus has slowly come to know more of the student body—his ‘friendly’ fights with Leona, Cater perpetually trying to get pictures with him, learning a bit more about technology through Idia and Deuce…while these cannot quite be called friendships yet, there is something there that can’t be mistaken. And maybe, because the people telling him this are his first real friends and closer to him than anything, he’ll consider it.

Maybe Malleus won’t listen to reason. Maybe Book 7 will end with a breathtaking battle that encapsulates the world’s best mages to overthrow the fae prince—NRC, RSA, NBC, legends outside the schools, and more—and I would be okay with that. But I also think that Book 7 ending in peace, where Malleus takes the hand we offer and steps down from his reign of slumber without any more bloodshed, would be just as beautiful.

[violetlunette]

(re-post because Tumblr's a pain)

I was just thinking that things would have turned out A LOT differently if Silver had been the one kidnapped in Ghost Marriage. For starters, the conflict would have been over a lot quicker. Because if Lilia didn’t kick down the doors going hell hath no fury like a father getting his baby back, then Malleus sure as hell would have. (And with his abilities, he would have completely destroyed them.) Seriously, I don’t think even Crowley would have been able to hold them back. Plus, I think the student would be more willing to help him as the first years at least seem to think of Silver as a big brother. (You will pull this headcanon away from my cold dead hands.)

On that topic, I believe that if Silver had gone instead of Sebek, the Princess would have fallen for him, hook, line, and sinker because, other than Malleus, no one is more like a charming Prince. (And before anyone says anything, Vil is a QUEEN, not a Prince.) Though I think the plan still would have failed as Silver would have fallen asleep.

But those are just my thoughts. What about ya’lls? Do you agree or disagree with me?

[lunetteslooneyfangirlingblog]

Aww! Lilia did check on Silver during the Fairy Gala fiasco! As a bonus we get to watch him coo over memories of baby Silver.

are they foreshadowing ch7 or smth...

[rotting-batcorpse]

These Diasomnia t-shirts tiny designs are so cute. Malleus having an adorable dragon head and Lilia with his bats. Silver and Sebek being just the wheel and thread with their uniform hat.

[monoafterhours]

SPOILERS??

I've seen people talk about the fact that Lilia contemplated killing silver when he first found him :( I'm not sure if it's Canon or not but I'd love to see a fic about that, only for Lilia to sigh in defeat and take the infant into his arms instead, raising the human as his own.

JAZZ NIGHT. draconia & ashengrotto

Sypnosis: Monstro Lounge was hosting a new event! "Jazz Night" where the ramshackle prefect herself was rumoured to perform. Boys flocked to the lounge in droves, eager to hear her sing. Though, it seems that her performance has touched a special someone.

Character/s: Azul Ashengrotto, Malleus Draconia x Fem! Lounge Singer! Reader

Tags: Fluff! Established relationship, Lilia plays the guitar, Azul is so in love with you he nearly faints, The tweels bully tease shy Azul, Malleus holds so much love for you awee, Bitter Sebek, A bit of possessive Mal?

Word Count: 1.5k+ | 💌Masterlist

Tonight, Monstro Lounge was jam-packed with customers. They were all scurrying around the place like lost guppies while looking for open tables.

Warm, vibrant lights illuminated the aquariums, filled with all types of unique vibrant fish. The massive tanks encircled a sizable stage which was outfitted with magnificent decorations and a live band.

A unique promotional night was being hosted. "Jazz Night," a special occasion that the prefect of Ramshackle introduced.

Though the strange 'earth' event wasn't what really drew the massive crowds in. Their curiosity was focused on something else. It was the fact that the prefect herself was going to be performing.

Once that news got out, people practically stormed the lounge, nearly shattering the glass doors and windows down. It was a whole tsunami of students willing to spend their entire life savings just to hear the girl sing. Azul was swimming in money, the happiest he'd ever been in his life.

It took an hour but with everyone finally settled down, the lights dimmed and the live band started playing. All that was left was for the star of the show to come out.

A.A| AZUL ASHENGROTTO:

The velvet folds of red drape curtains parted and you cautiously stepped out, clutching the long skirt of your dress securely in your hands. You were dressed to the nines in a dazzling purple evening gown paired with matching shell earrings; the costly ensemble entirely paid for by Azul.

The crowd cheered as you took your seat up front the stage, blinding spotlight illuminating your form. Amidst the crowd of teenage boys, you scoured the area for a certain trio of mer-men.

Azul was seated in the far back with both Jade and Floyd beside him. He was tense and frozen stiff; much like the stash of popsicles Floyd kept hidden deep in Octavinelle's fridge.

You noticed how his face was dusted in a pink flush as both Floyd and Jade whispered in his ear, identical devilish grins plastered onto their faces. Azul burned a deeper red with each passing comment, eventually taking solace in burying his face into his hands.

'They're toying with him again…' You sighed at their antics, a wistful smile on your face.

So caught up with watching the trio, you nearly missed the drummer's cue for you to begin. You took a deep breath and adjusted the microphone to your liking. The crowd appeared to blend together, packed with the eager faces of boys looking directly at you.

Fluttering your lashes, you cast a glance at Azul, smiling, as you slid your fingers up the microphone stand. "You had plenty money in nineteen-forty-one. You lost it all, and then where'd you run? Why don't you do right like some other men do?"

The octo-mer knew he got embarrassingly soft around you. Even now, the only reaction he can muster in response to your singing is awe.

"You sittin' down wondering what it's all about. If you ain't got no money, they will put you out." The aquarium lights cast a delicate lilac glow on your skin, accentuating your delicate features. Lovely honeyed singing overflowing from your glossy red lips.

Azul's voice was caught in his throat, almost as if you had a tight grip on his neck, wringing it firmly to constrain his breathing and leave him gasping for air like a fish out of water. His head swirls as he shakily exhales, feeling so lightheaded, he was on the verge of passing out.

"If you had prepared 20 years ago, you wouldn't be wandering now from door to door. Why don't you do right? Like some other men do~?" There was a sickeningly sweet smile on your face as you sneaked glances towards him, fixing him with the affectionate gaze he always felt undeserving of.

"Heh heh, her choice of song seems to be intentional." Jade noted, a smirk on his face as he examined Azul's dazed state.

"Eugh, Jade- He's so down bad." Floyd squinted his eyes, slowly digging his finger into the flesh of Azul's cheek. The octo-mer had no reaction.

He continued to poke his boss' cheek, but there was still no response. Azul stayed still, a sappy, cheesy look on his face that made Floyd gag.

"Why don't you do right? Like some other men…do~?" You sang, drawing out the final words as the song came to an end.

Your face was flushed with delight as the audience applauded, a mix of shouts and whistles ringing out through the entire lounge.

Azul, who is only dimly aware of the scorching hot blush on his skin, knows that these feelings will linger with him throughout the day and into the night. Still, he went on, slack-jawedly looking at you in a lovesick stupor.

M.D | MALLEUS DRACONIA:

One of the guitarists on stage was none other than the old bat from Diasomnia. Earning his spot after he twisted Azul's arm into letting him join the performance. There was no way Lilia was going to pass up an opportunity like this.

He peered around the room for a certain dragon, scouring the crowds of people squeezed into the cafe. As soon as he spotted Malleus, he grinned wryly. "Oh, Malleus dear, you're going to love this."

Lilia could never forget the look of astonishment on Malleus' face when Azul handed him the invitation, he looked like a golden retriever being presented with a bone; it was adorable.

The fae was ecstatic to be invited to an important occasion, given how uncommon it was for anybody to contact him. The added notion that he would be able to witness you perform made him practically tremble in excitement.

"There are a lot more people here than I thought." Malleus muttered, examining the invitation in his palm.

"It seems that they're curious to hear the human's voice, young master!" Sebek exclaimed, arms crossed across his chest as he smirked. "I doubt their singing could reach your standards!"

"Don't be mean Sebek…" Silver drawled, slumping against the plush sofa, fervently fighting to stay awake. His eyes flitted over to the stage, seeing the lights dim as a spotlight appeared. "Oh? Is it starting?"

Malleus jerked his head up to see you emerge from the velvet curtains, dressed in a body-hugging black evening gown. He glowed with pride when he saw the necklace he gifted you proudly sitting atop your neck, its green gem glimmering beneath the lounge's lavender lights.

Once you neared the front of the stage, you eagerly waved at him, and he chuckled before returning the gesture. After eyeing your interactions, Lilia struck a few notes on his guitar, the rest of the band following suit.

"Stars shining bright above you. Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'~" Malleus beams as you turn to him and smile, seeing the way his eyes crinkle in mirth while missing the way Sebek rolls his eyes at the loving gesture.

"Birds singin' in the sycamore trees. Dream a little dream of me. Say 'Night-ie night' and kiss me. Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me." You sang, eyes fluttering close before you opened them to peek at Malleus.

"While I'm alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me~" Honey-saccharine, sweet yearning, driven by his affections for you, pours from Malleus' eyes.

In truth, his gaze was overwhelming, the amount of love he was able to convey in a single glance astounded you. It's the kind of love that you wished to cherish for all eternity—one that is as exquisitely as sweet and lovely as the fresh roses in a garden.

"Stars fading but I linger on, dear. Still craving your kiss." Malleus finds himself longing for your undivided affection and your entrancing voice. He's fed up with the crowds surrounding you and wishes to be alone in your company, to experience the pleasure of being the only one who can hear your voice.

Still, he allows you to continue your little performance, loving the way you looked so carefree as you swayed to the beat of the music, losing yourself in the song.

"But in your dreams, whatever they be…dream a little dream of me~"

"I'm going to bash someone's head in." Floyd snarled, plopping down onto a bar stool. He's been shoving people down chairs for the past 5 hours but they still kept on coming.

"Azul~! Why is the entire school here?! No way I'm gonna serve all these people!" He whined, smashing his face down the bar table and banging his fists.

"I already told you. It's because of our new event." Azul said, bringing out his laptop and displaying a document outlining the night's financial numbers.

"Incredible—! I increased the price by 20 times what we normally charge, and people keep coming! I didn't expect the prefect to bring in this much profit!" Azul exclaimed as he typed furiously on his laptop, a giddy smile on his face. Floyd lifted his head off the counter and gawked at the octopus.

"There are more coming?!"

I want to draw (non shit-post). Idk who to draw.

I'm feeling pretty boys ig idk

[boycasanova]

Silver not having a last name is so funny to me. Lilia probably thought it was so cool, like, "He goes by a mononym, like Aristotle, or Nero, or Caesar... or Rihanna." And for the rest of his life, Silver has to argue with the DMV, club bouncers, and the liqour store over his "obviously fake" ID.

He's like, "Father, they wouldn't let me pick up my medication again, please send me a copy of my adoption record and birth certificate so I can show this bitch."

[olivyh]

Hello, I hope you’re having a wonderful day/night/evening so far, and I was wondering if I could request hcs or scenarios for how the 2nd years would act around/be like for having a crush on their popular and kind classmate who is also Malleus Draconia’s younger brother

Hi!! Thank you! <333 Most of my fics use gn reader (or, very rarely, fem reader) so that's the format I went with for this! The pronouns used are you/your! Since I use she/her, I'm not 1000% on writing for m!readers, which is why I tend to drift towards gn for most of my fics, but I see a lot of writers that do write specifically for male readers in the twst x reader tag (a lot more than there were last year, which is good!). Sorry ;;;;;

Also, I really wish Malleus had a canon younger sibling like this! I think it would be so cute- especially if there was a big age gap between them (almost like the age gap between Cheka and Leona)

Riddle:

-He isn't the most popular, nor is he kind, so he has a hard time interacting with you

-Between your differences in social standing (despite him being in a position of power, again, he's not the most popular :( ) and your general kindness, which he's so unused to from anyone other than Trey or people trying to get on his good side

-I think he would be... a little unnerved at how often you get swarmed by people

-Honestly, I think most of his interactions with you would be through Cater as a middleman

-Of course, he's not dense. He realizes he has a crush on you the second he notices how clammy his hands get and how he can't seem to focus around you, constantly pulling out his phone's camera to use as a mirror as he adjusts his crown and hair. He tries to be his best self possible in front of you since he grew up thinking that he has to do everything the way someone else like it in order for them to like him. 

-He goes about it in a classy way; pulling out chairs, offering you tea, and walking you back to ramshackle so you don't go back alone...

-He was doing good! Every night he would run over his actions in his mind and try to find flaws, noticing how the shaking in his hands have lessened and how he wasn't as nervous. He was finally okay!

-So, when you asked to invite someone to the unbirthday party, he had no problems with it whatsoever!

-When he saw you with Malleus, he was a little shaken up. He was, however, used to the fae's presence at this point because they were both dormleaders. 

-Until he noticed how comfortable you were around one another, and how similar your appearances were, and...

-He had to excuse himself when he put two and two together, mind racing with questions and concerns about how he should go about things...

-He was also a little embarrassed about how he didn't pick up on the obvious signs earlier...

-He was planning to confess soon, but this changes things! He was suddenly nervous around you, well aware that you were royalty (not only that, but powerful royalty...) and how this could change the course of things

-He gets more and more nervous around you as the unbirthday party continues, and stays the same even afterwards. You might have to hunt him down and get him to talk about it afterwards, because he won't admit how jumbled his brain feels

-He has a plan for if you like him back or not... but he is still very nervous about your relationship going forward

-Just reassure him that you like him back and he'll be more than happy to prepare himself to fit right into the Draconia family <3

Ruggie:

-I feel like I say this a lot, but it fits with his character, so here I go

-He definitely uses your kindness to his advantage

-I mean, he's not above using puppy eyes or staring at your food with a pout, knowing all too well that you would notice his forlorn expression and give him some of your food. Normally dark fae like you aren't as kind, so of course he's going to be thrilled when you are!

-He doesn't have a problem with your popularity, as long as it doesn't affect him or his work

-Ruggie seems like the kind of person to have to be close friends with someone before he even considers having a relationship, so it's pretty hard work to get to the point of where he's head over heels for you

-But once he is? Oh boy...

-Suddenly he's doing everything to impress you; making jokes, teaching you some recipes for when you're short on materials, you come back to the dorm and your laundry is folded and the shelves are dusted...

-He likely won't confess first, so he patiently waits until you do

-But that doesn't stop him from doing everything in his power to butter you up as much as possible, trying to make himself seem as boyfriend-material as possible

-He thought he finally had it in the bag, he saw how your gaze would shift to him, how gently you brushed his hand when you took something from them, how you would stutter when he shuffled a little closer than usual...

-Until he came across Malleus one day after a magshift match, and noticed how similar the two of you looked... and how your scents seemed to be almost the same

-Ruggie felt his heart sink

-He knew you were also a dragon fae but he just kind of... assumed you and the heir of the Valley of Thorns shared a similar species...

-Falling for someone was one thing, but falling for a noble? In his position? He felt hopeless

-He may start acting cold towards you at first, his jokes dry as he can't seem to meet your eye

-Like Riddle, you would have to sit him down and have a conversation with him before you two do anything. His insecurities get the best of him, especially when he hears that most nobles are in arranged marriages with other nobles...

-You would have to have a lot of talks with him, and then talks with his grandmother because, even in your relationship, he still tries to hide stuff from you so you don't worry

-Once you say that you like him back, he instantly bumps up his game. He suddenly puts more effort into his appearance thanks to Leona('s credit card), and tries to act more polite in order to get the approval of your brother and grandmother

-The start of your relationship with be bumpy, but it's very worth it when you have Ruggie 

(Definitely not biased bc I think out of the twst cast, Ruggie would be at the top of the list of boyfriends...)

Azul:

-He is,,, a character to you at first

-Of course, because of the tweels acting as spies, he catches onto you and your brother quickly

-He's very wary the first few times when he tries to use your status and popularity to his advantage, knowing all too well that Malleus could put a stop to him at any second

-That doesn't mean that he stays away from you completely

-Since you're a fae, you may come up with some solutions to contracts that catch him off guard (what with fae being more magically inclined)

-Especially with your magic capabilities and your connections to other nobles

-He ends up spending so much time with you that he sort of... develops feelings without knowing it

-One day you're both sitting in the lounge, and then the next you're scooting closer to him to read the words on the paper more clearly and he suddenly feels as though he's in a cloud and his heart races when he realizes your thighs are touching and he could practically hear your heartbeat-

-He has to excuse himself

-I think your popularity would spring him into action. He knows that many others see your kindness (and your status) and he has to be the first!

-He'll act so gentlemanly and so kind, so terribly out of character for him that you might be confused at first

-It doesn't take too long to realize that he's putting on a show to gain your affection, that he feels as though you wouldn't love him as he is

-Once he confesses, please reassure him that you like the real him and not the face that he puts on!

-Also, please reassure Malleus that Azul is not going to rope you into his schemes, as the dragon fae is still incredibly wary of the mer...

Jade:

-Another one who knew of your status from the get-go

-I have such a strong hc that Jade falls in love SO easily

-Very much a love-at-first-sight kind of guy

-Even though he doesn't show it

-It's very likely that you heard him while he was searching for mushrooms and you helped him

-It's also very likely that he overheard people talking about how they saw the two of you together (and also heard their impressions of him)

-He was conflicted, knowing that your reputation wouldn't be hurt with him, but he also didn't want to drag you down with him

-Of course, he still spends time with you as he is very aware of his feelings toward you 

-Since the Leech family is fairly influential, I don't think he'd be too intimidated by your status

-He is well aware of the Draconia family, however, and is constantly trying to think of different ways to impress your brother in order to gain an "in"

-Malleus might think of Jade's advances as being him trying to take advantage of you, so please, please have a talk with your brother before it goes any further

-Once your relationship goes further, he'll be much less secretive towards you and you'll get to see the hopeless romantic side of him come out

-Please give in to his whims; he's been dreaming about this since he was a kid

Floyd:

-I don't think his personality would change much given your status/reputation

-He just wants a hug! He doesn't care if you're the Malleus Draconia's younger sibling! He doesn't care if you're a royal of one of the most powerful countries in the world!

-Ultimately, though, he would easily understand if anyone in your family is wary about your relationship

-I feel like Floyd with a crush on someone popular could go... one of two ways

-When he's in a good mood, he can also be pretty popular! He's pretty down to earth and has a good sense of humor! He's the class clown type, so I think a lot of people would be (hesitantly) drawn to his presence and go along with his games

-When he's not, though... he doesn't want anyone else to talk to you. He wants to keep you all to himself so you can hold and comfort him and listen to his troubles

-He is very aware about the implications of marrying into royalty, but it doesn't faze him that much

-He knows that your family is powerful, and that your brother is aware of Floyd's reputation around campus, but he knows who he is, and he has full confidence in himself that he can make you happy and keep you safe

-I feel like malleus would also see this quality in Floyd and accept him :)

-There isn't really much buildup into the relationship; Floyd knows instantly what he wants and he gets it

-Though, he might just start of being more touchy than usual- casually slinging an arm over your shoulder, lifting you in the air (even if you're taller than him), hugging you from behind while you have a conversation with someone else,,,

-There might be some miscommunication when it comes to exactly when you started dating... (Was your first date when you had a sleepover in his room all those months ago or was it just last week when you helped him clean the lounge? The world may never know...)

-Also a small hc, he won't touch your horns before you two date. After you start and you're in the full swing of a relationship? Please let him touch them. Also will hang things off of them

Kalim:

-He knew you were Malleus' younger sibling from the start!

-Despite how isolated the Valley of Thorns is from the rest of the world, Kalim's family is still very influential throughout Twisted Wonderland and chances are you two have met prior to NRC

-He's relieved to see that you're much more outgoing than your brother, and often invites you two out while you chat (while in NRC, of course. I doubt that anyone would let three Nobles, two of them royalty to one of the most powerful nations in the world, wander around alone)

-I think Kalim falls in love very quickly, but he's very hesitant to speak about it

-Given his childhood experiences, I think he would be worried about something happening to someone he has feelings for, even if they're not dating yet

-Kalim thinks that anyone associated with him is in danger, so he tends to keep people at arms length. Everyone knows him, but nobody really knows him

-Anyways, back to the hcs

-He's a little more relaxed in this case, knowing that your family is not only influential and politically powerful, but that you're magically and physically powerful as well. He doesn't have to worry about you getting kidnapped due to your strength, and your resilience to magic and curses makes poison less effective

-He feels as though he can relax around you, and that makes him fall even deeper in love

-Even more so when you turn into a dragon and fly beside him and carpet <3

-Noth much changes with him either, he's just more excitable around you and gets a little more touchy-feely. He also listens to you better than he listens to anyone else, and is more than willing to dial it down should you ask him to.  

-Of course you guys have met each others' families so it makes things a little bit easier for them... they don't have to arrange a marriage with the other nobles if you two already fell for each other!

-Just... please reassure him sometimes when he seems a little jumpy around you. He's just worried someone will try to hurt you :(

Jamil:

-Piggybacking off Kalim's part, I think he also met you before when the Al-Asims and the Draconias would get together

-Your popularity and kindness reminded him of Kalim, so he tended to keep his distance unless he was invited to sit with you and the other boy

-Of course, where Kalim goes he goes, so chances are those are really the only times when you two would meet up

-And who would guess that, in those times, he would fall for you?

-He would keep his distance as much as possible, not wanting to deal with the problems that could arise should you two get into a relationship

-Similarly to Ruggie, he would be acting more cold and distant from you due to this

-He would approach you after what's likely to be a few weeks, his heart breaking at your forlorn expression

-It's also very likely that Malleus started picking up on the reasoning why you seemed to be so sad lately, and Jamil didn't want to cause a conflict between the Scalding Sands and the Valley of Thorns (jk jk...)

-Jamil would be the one to explain himself, except he would probably confess to you and then deny to advance the relationship much further until he figured out what to do

-You two remain as close friends for a little while after that, now with this new, unnamed thing hanging around the both of you

-It's painfully clear to everyone else that you two should be dating, but neither of you take the first step until, thankfully, big brother Mal takes the reins and decides to talk with Jamil himself

-It's a little intimidating, but Jamil has finally been given the go-ahead (and he's very thankful that Malleus did that, given that it's highly unlikely that his family/the Al-Asims would have accepted/believed you two were in a relationship otherwise)

-No worries though! His feelings become near unbearable until he finally asks you out

-He treats you very formally the first few months, but soon after that he just turns into a very domestic, loving boyfriend :) 

Silver:

-He would be... the most conflicted out of anyone in the group

-Especially in this sort of situation

-He first falls in love with you due to your kind nature, and is very excited that many people like you, even in your home country

-But also... you're the younger sibling of his master. And... indirectly his master as well

-He was conflicted over this, though you could barely tell from the way his attitude didn't seem to change at all

-He was still strict, and spoke to you very politely (as was expected of him due to his status)

-It was only when you pleaded with him to speak to you normally that he was finally allowed to relax and show you the side of him that the rest of your classmates see

-Nothing much changes when he realizes his crush on you, aside from the fact that he may be paying a little more attention to you rather than Malleus

-He feels as though he's stuck in a corner, even more so when you ask Malleus to have Silver as your personal knight instead

-He has a few long talks with Lilia about this, who, even with the centuries that he's lived, struggles to come up with a solution

-Silver decides to be as forward with you as possible about his feelings, speaking about them very bluntly besides the faint flush that stains his cheeks

-He barely gives you time to respond, instead bowing deeply and running back off to his dorm room

-Hes embarrassed, and a little scared :(

-Honestly, he might need some time to get his thoughts in order, now that he's finally spoken to you about everything. 

-Of course, he has a talk with Malleus as well. 

-I don't think Malleus would have any problems with Silver dating his younger sibling, aside from the whole human/fae thing (which Malleus promises to solve, even if he has to defend your maybe-marriage against the entire royal court)

-He's just very... princely once your relationship starts, although he dials it down a bit after you've been together for a while. He is still very chivalrous, but the further your relationship continues the less it feels like knight/royal and more like normal lovers

Hello my fellow weird little guys in the fog

i am very sorry for the delay, i posted that thing about lilia and silver like a month ago and am just posting it now. blame school and such but here we go!!

Lilia tried to rock the crying baby again for what felt like the hundredth time. When he had picked up the small boy in the woods he figured it would be easy, a cinch for a skilled mage and commander like him. Oh how wrong he was. Silver´s been crying all night, impossibly big lungs on such a small child. He racked his brain on how to make this tiny human calm down. Then he remembered a poem, or song he heard long ago, as part of a story of a cursed princess, ward to the thorn fairy. He began to sing it, not sure what else to do at this point

¨one thing, beauty rare

Golden sunlight--¨

No, no that wasn't right. Well it was, but not right for this small child. He looked at Silver who had stopped crying for a moment but was making one of those scrunched faces that imply he's just getting his second wind. Enough time to scan Silvers face, he thought a moment and sang

¨one thing, beauty rare

Silver moonbeams in your hair

Bright pearly eyes and button nose

Seen as an angel wherever you go~¨

 Silver stops crying, drinking in Lilias tired voice and peers at him through tear rimmed eyes, and ruddy cheeks, but at least he's not crying anymore. This encourages Lilia to keep going. He subtly reaches for the bottle he's been trying to get Silver to drink for at least an hour. Fitting it in Silvers mouth he continues

¨one thing, i wish for you

A conscious clear, and heart that's true¨ he thought of how he found Silver, the blood on his hands from the war, and sincerely hoped this sweet moonbeam never had to do such things. That this boy would find other ways to do things, but always  be on the side of kindness and truth

¨ with a brave kind heart and sword in hand

To protect those in need you'll be there to take the stand¨

He internally cringed at how awkward that last line was but it didn't seem to matter to Silver who was soothed by the song and finally drinking his bottle. He fell asleep, such a contrast to a half hour earlier. Lilia sighs in relief and puts him down in the cradle he had (stolen) found. Some bat friends of his decided to take up residence hanging from the railing of the cradle, promising to watch him while Lilia went to get more wood for the fireplace. It took him little time to do so with his fairy strength and he returned to the cottage he had… repurposed after the original owners got caught up in the war. Silver was still asleep, of course he was, all that crying and hollering must have taken a lot of energy. Lilia stoked the fire and lifted Silver into his lap again as he reclined on the bed, tired as well. The last thing he thought before falling asleep himself was, it's certainly not easy like he thought but he is even more determined than before to make it work
