“You love me, don't you? You love him, too. How can you not love a child of our beloved blood?”
But you would no longer love me the way I am now
What runs through my veins is no longer my blood
And I can no longer be considered “father”
To our her beloved child

The conflict between cosmic magicians✨✨🖤🪄
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Although its kinda funny that as per card release date,,, they really copied Grim's XD That cat will throw a tantrum for not getting credited XD,,, also they really are obviously telling all these characters are somehow related with each other 👀✨
I actually view cosmic as the type of magic that is stronger than any element even though in gameplay, they have no advantage towards any element lol Idk it just seems, in the story, the casters of it are powerful and without weaknesses so that's why their main magic is this
its really funny how it seems like Crowley Malleus and Grim are on competition on who's the ✨MOST UNIQUE cosmic card✨ 🤣 I can't wait for Book 8 and see their dynamic,,, 😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻✨

Crowley: I scheduled this parent-teacher conference to be frank with all of you. I somehow expected that the next generation you produced would be better then the fathers you chose to procreate with. But somehow you each managed to compound what was wrong with both of you to create hellspawns. Now let's go down the list of each offender. Starting with the Trappola twins, Jojo and Koko. They shattered the very same chandelier his parents did.
Jester!Yuu: (giggling) They are usually so well behaved. Please don't hold it against them.
Crowley: Baishan, the raccoon has singlehandedly robbed the entirety of Octavinelle.
Chef!Yuu:(smiling cheerfully) He's just like his father. I've been trying to get him to use his cooking knowledge to work at the lounge.
Crowley: Nuru unleashed a plague of fleas after not being chosen as head of the Spelldrive team.
Vet!Yuu: I don't condone his behavior. He's competitive like Leona but that is no excuse. We will talk to him. But the fleas are lab-raised and don't carry illnesses.
Crowley: Violetta Ashengrotto is currently running an illegal gambling ring somewhere on campus and I still can't find where she is hiding it. I can't even punish her for it without evidence.
Marine Biologist:(dressed like an Italian mob wife) What I'm hearing is that she is being accused without evidence. My little pearl is innocent.
Crowley: Molly Schoenheit, set fire to the stage after challenging the LeBlanche girl during the regional talent show.
Gardener!Yuu: I blame the stagehands and the promoter. They were told explicitly to keep the girls away from each other. But her father gave her a good earful after what happened, after raising her allowance behind my back. She can't go to that concert anymore though.
Crowley: Regent Hunt is a duplicate of his father. He's been spotted stalking students.
Special Forces!Yuu: Spotted?! He is in big trouble! No son of mine would be spotted during a mission! His father would be aghast to hear this.
Crowley: Neo Shroud despite not being the recluse his father was has chosen a path of being a criminal. I know he's the one extorting me not this shadow hacktivist organization. He has my credit cards, social security number and I know he's the one running that parody account of me on social media.
Otaku!Yuu: Prove it.
Crowley: (sigh) And then there is Merlyn...do I even need to say anything? Honestly, I fully expected better from you. You married Floyd! Of all people him?! I wish I objected sooner.
Nurse!Yuu: My son is...a curious sort.
Crowley: He's a hazard to society. He starts fights just so he can patch people up.
Nurse!Yuu: Like I said he just wants to learn more about biology.
Crowley: I just wish your children were a little less troublesome. Was that too much to hope for?

But Mc having the holidays blues like really bad(I have them especially since I moves out, and live with roommates) it gets depressing, so instead of the Mc(reader) going with one of the students they go with the teachers and spend the holidays with them at their home!
Thanks for turning on anon! 🙇‍♀️💗
No problem!
You requested: Holiday Blues (slight pun because of my name lol)
Tumblr media
Dire Crowley
His apartment was rather depressing, shrouded in black and darker colors. However, you help him decorate appropriately for the holidays. He makes you hot chocolate because he is just so kind, and he is definitely the kind of person to use his magic to lift you up so that you could place the star on the top of the tree.
This man acts like he did so much work, letting out a huge sigh as he sits down on his couch with a loud, dad-like groan. You rolled your eyes before taking his empty mug and washing it in the sink. While you’re doing that, he sneaks off to grab a present, and he slides it onto the counter when he comes back. It had your name in metallic ink, and was written in matte black wrapping paper.
Inside was a small golden locket key chain, and the sentimentality of it was what brought you to tears. You hadn’t received a present in a while, and so tears fell as you kind of just leaned into his shoulder. He didn’t really know what to do, so he awkwardly wrapped his arms around you and patted your back gently, and you just cried softly.
Tumblr media
Divus Crewel
If anyone was more likely to take you in like he would a child to help you feel better about the holiday season, it would be this man. You would spend a lot of time with him, shopping and wrapping gifts for the other staff members. He makes sure to keep you distracted so that you have no time to mope about and wallow in self-pity, even if that’s all you want to do.
You help him decorate his apartment as well, and each ornament he has belongs in the color-theme he selected for this year, which was black, white, gold, and a splash of red. He, too, used his magic to lift you up so that you could place it on top of the tree. This is also a time where you learned that Professor Crewel preferred to remain well-dressed even in the comfort of his own home.
When he gave you your present, it had a well-written card on it. He told you how proud he was of you and how far you had come, and you didn’t even get to the gift itself before you started crying. He opened his arms to you, and you ran into them, sniffling your tears away. He placed a gentle kiss on the top of your head to comfort you, holding you as a moment of silence took hold.
Tumblr media
Ashton Vargas
His apartment was… unique. His living room didn’t have a couch, but rather was a gym itself, despite the apartment complex having a gym. He claimed that they didn’t have the equipment he needed, and he kept you on an exercise regimen during your stay ‘so that you wouldn’t slack off.’ In reality, he didn’t know what to do about your seasonal depression, but he knows exercise can help, and he offers to exercise alongside you.
There’s not a lot of room to put up a tree, so you instead decorate the equipment stands, and you place the gifts that you wrap onto the treadmill that he owns. His kitchen has a few holiday-themed things, and you put lights on top of his cabinets so that the lights will shine onto the walls. It was simple, but it worked and spirited the place a bit more.
Coach’s gift to you was a few gift cards to a few different places in the town below NRC, as he didn’t know what you or Grim would have liked. He freaks out when you start crying, but you say, through sobs, that it was from being grateful. It had been a while since you saw someone as a family figure, and you were glad that he was the one.
Tumblr media
Mozus Trein
When he had invited you to his house for the holidays, you were low-key kind of expecting a dungeon. Lo and behold, it was a small but warm and welcoming house. You met his two daughters, and they were very happy to meet you. They became your older sisters, in a sense, with how quickly they accepted you as their family.
A tree was decorated in the corner of the living room, and everyone sat gathered. Presents were passed out, and you were going about in a circle, unwrapping one present each. You were aware that you would be meeting your professor’s daughters, so you made sure to get them some gift cards, as you did not want to show up empty-handed. Trein told you that they would understand, but you were pretty adamant.
Eventually, it got to you, and you unwrapped the one from Mozus, him looking at you with an amused look. Inside of it were a few books to read in your free time that reminded him of you, and each of them had a message that he wrote within them. One of those messages was detailing how proud he was to call you one of his students, and that Lucius even liked you, and you wrapped your arms around him and started crying. He returned the favor, hugging you as though you were his child, and your newfound sisters joined in on the hug as well. Family hug.
Tumblr media
Sam
He didn’t go home for the holidays, and opted to stay at the Shop because there were students who still needed things. That being said, he did invite you to celebrate in the shop with him. He’s kind of like your cousin with how close you two were. Anyway, you decided to help him decorate the shop appropriately, as it was feeling a bit dull in there. Lights lined the corners of the walls and the edges of the shelves, making it more festive.
The back of the shop looked similar, but there was a tree back there as well. His friends on the other side helped him decorate it, as well as you and Grim. It had a bunch of different colors, but it was able to portray the different personalities between the multitude of you. You smiled with nostalgia lining your lips at the star on top, and you had a feeling you were going to make it through this season unscathed.
Sam could tell that this time of year was hard on you, and it wouldn’t do any good for his little imp if they were to feel horrible by themselves. He didn’t really like this season either, but it brought in a bunch of sales, so he wasn’t going to complain. He would just invite you over to the shop so that you both could suffer together, and that suffering turned into joy as you joke around with each other while decorating.

Anyways I know I haven't been active here on Tumblr, but I just want to say that the Dire Crowley SSR reveal has changed the trajectory of my life. The amount of spam tagging I did for @prince-kallisto in Twitter because Crowley showed up was a lot. February is TRULY Dire Crowley's month.
Happy Valentine's day to us Crowley enjoyers. We F**KING won.

I’ve been watching parts of Book 7 to refresh myself for some theories I’m writing, and I feel as though these lines are very underrated (*゚▽゚*) Credits to GasMask on YouTube for these translations 💖🫶
I think these lines don’t get brought up often because they are missable? The map of Book 7 in General Lilia’s dream seems to branch of, with different sections having little stories attached but are missable if you go down the path right on the main story. But here, we learn of the rumor that Levan battled the Knight of Dawn, the knight that many Fae flee from just at the sight of him. And despite being human (although blessed from Light Fae), he singlehandedly defeated Meleanor in her dragon form.
Tumblr media
I don’t know, it’s just a line I wish to bring attention to again, because Levan truly must be a powerful man to have faced the Knight of Dawn- and survived the experience in the first place. We receive little information of what actually happened- all Lilia says is that it’s a rumor. So I’m assuming that it wasn’t an attempted full fight to the death, as that would’ve been far more destructive to the Eastern Fort, and Levan escaped with his life with seemingly no major injuries to him or the Knight of Dawn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I wonder…I thought about Diaval from the live action Maleficent, and how he was initially captured by a hunter. So perhaps…Levan could’ve made his escape after a duel with the Knight of Dawn through a similar method. Using Crowley’s whip as an example, we can see than even the “slightly upgraded” version of his Whip of Love is strong enough to bind SEVERAL students simultaneously, and no magic can let them escape. And in that scene in Crowley’s SSR vignette, he isn’t even trying- he says it’s as easy as *breathing.* Credits to Otome Ayui for this translation 💖🐦‍⬛
So what if he were to put in all his effort into his Whip of Love? Surely a similar tool/weapon could’ve bought Levan enough time to flee from even the Knight of Dawn if he put his magic into his whip,,,👀

In which Crewel and Crowley turn into a dog and a crow respectively.
Thus poor (Y/n), who has to take care of them now, gets two overbearing bodyguards.
Idea by anon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Headmaster Crowley should be banned from the laboratories!"
Your face was as red as a tomato as you stood in the middle of an alchemy classroom, still surrounded by a sheen smoke that slowly escaped through the windows. The disappearing mist revealed the silhouettes of two animals — a dog and a crow; in their place, your two bickering professors had stood just a few moments prior.
Grim shared the blank panic written all over your face. "Oh, woe is us, henchhuman!" he cried out and clung to your sleeve once the dog started trotting towards the two of you. The crow, too, took off, only to land on top of your head happily. Once Grim had made sure that he was safe, he exhaled and patted your hand comfortingly. "But fret not, you can do this. Sorry, I'm not good with consoling people when I'm hungry..."
You nodded slowly, the anger on your face slowly morphing into acceptance when the dalmatian rubbed his snout into your other palm. The way his shimmering eyes bore into yours gave you courage that you didn't think you could muster. "Yeah, I can do this..." you muttered under your breath while gently petting the dog. "I already have you as a pet, Grim. How worse can these two be?" An ironic chuckle escaped your lips.
"Hey! I'm not a pet!" Grim yelled, offended. "You got it all wrong. You are my servant, (Y/n)."
Doing your best to ignore him and his shrill voice, you turned away and grabbed the crow from your head that was in the process of building a nest up there. The black-feathered bird let out a playful caw as you stared him down in concentration. "Hmm... you're both adults... you, Headmaster Crowley, not so much..." The crow cried out in disagreement when your gaze shifted to the dog. "But hey, Professor Crewel will be easy to manage, right?"
Sadly for you, you couldn't have been more wrong.
°°°
"Professor, leave poor Ace be!" you screamed out at the top of your lungs while doing your best to hold onto the leather leash.
The dog bound to the leash wouldn't stop his attempts of attacking Ace, who by then had scurried over to a tree and climbed it with the grace of a squirrel. His eyes were wide in horror, and his face contorted into a grimace whenever the dalmatian began barking.
"By the Great Seven, get ahold of your vicious dog, (Y/n)!" Ace yelled out in panic. "What if it has rabies?"
That caused the anger of the dog to worsen again after you had managed to calm him down with head-rubs. As stubborn as he was in the beginning, the dog ripped the leash right out of your hand and sprinted towards the tree. Ace let out a frightened shriek, but luckily was able to pull his leg up just in time to avoid being bitten or grabbed.
Only when you threw yourself on the dog and tightly wrapped your arms around him in a calming embrace did he actually grow quiet again. Once that was dealt with, you turned your attention to your frightened friend. "Excuse me? Of course Professor Crewel—" Your cheeks grew red as you caught yourself about to reveal something you shouldn't. "I mean..." you corrected yourself, "Crewie is as healthy as he could be."
"Crewie?" Ace raised an eyebrow as he climbed down again. "You named your dalmatian after our stinky alchemy professor?"
At once, the dog began barking and growling again.
Your hand frantically ran up and down the dalmatian's neck in order to prevent a bloody accident from happening. "W-Watch out what you're saying, Ace!" you cried out in frustration.
"Why? The dog doesn't understand me, anyway..."
Right then and there, another figure approached the three of you. You craned your neck in order to look past Ace; that way, you found Deuce coming closer towards you. Your heart fell in horror, not wanting another friend of yours to be potentially at risk.
"Oh, hello (Y/n). I've been searching for you," Deuce said shyly and shot you an awkward wave. You returned the gesture with a nervous smile while clutching onto the aggressive dog for dear life. Deuce opened his mouth, about to say something, but stopped in the middle of his sentence. His eyes trained on your hair, he tilted his head to the side. "But wait, you got a leaf stuck in your hair."
"Really?" you asked while frantically running your hand through your hair. "Uh, autumn strikes again..."
"Let me remove it for you—" Deuce offered and stepped closer.
You could feel the dog growing angry again the closer your friend came towards the two of you. It was then that you realised the reason for the dog's aggressiveness.
Just like his human-self, Crewel was trying to protect you from boys...
Gulping down the fear that dried out your throat, you carefully began, "Uh... I'm not sure—" Sadly, you were interrupted when, in a moment of surprise, the dog shook you off and leapt at your blue-haired friend.
Promptly, Deuce fell onto his bum with the dog on top of him, the animal busy swinging his paws at the student. Luckily, no claws were involved, and it seemed like the dog merely pulled this stunt as a warning.
"What?" Ace yelled out in anger. "Get your aggressive dog off of Deuce!"
A frustrated frown on your face, you jumped forward and grabbed the dog by his collar. "I'm so sorry, Deuce..." you cried out while detaining the dog. As Ace helped Deuce to his feet again, you turned your attention to the dalmatian and shot him a reprimanding glare. "What's gotten into you, Crewie..."
And indeed, the disappointment in your eyes made the dog shrink into itself in shame. A soft whimper escaped his maw.
"Uh Deuce, is that your food over there?" Ace asked nervously while dusting the dry soil off the victim's jacket. The red-head's gaze drifted over to the bench where a bento box lay, but his friend seemed too deep in thought to notice.
Deuce smiled proudly, already having forgotten about the assault just a few seconds ago. "Yeah, I made it with Trey today. I brought a few leftovers for (Y/n)," he explained while fidgeting with his hands.
Your stern eyes softened at his words. "Oh, you're such a darling, Deuce..."
The dalmatian narrowed his eyes, but didn't act upon the anger that overwhelmed him.
Deuce shyly averted his gaze from yours, an awkward smile appearing on his face as he did so. "W-Well, if you say so..." he trailed off with a red face.
"Uhm..." Ace interrupted the sweet moment. "I think you should know that a crow is eating your food right about now."
Deuce snapped around at once. "What!?" And indeed, the food he had spent hours preparing sat sprawled out all over the bench, a certain crow picking at the food with his beak. Deuce's eyes fell in sadness, and he could barely stutter out, "But I spent so much time and effort on this..."
"Crowie, bad crow!" you yelled, which startled the bird. His golden eyes bore into yours sheepishly, and he immediately flew over to you. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" He rubbed his head into your palm innocently, crooning soft and ingenuine apologise.
Ace raised an eyebrow. "Your pets' names are overwhelmingly creative, (Y/n)."
"I... I... So it was all for nothing?" Deuce was at the end of his wits. His face grew red in fury, and his hands turned into fists. A low growl escaped his lips as he glared at the crow on your shoulder. By then, he looked just the dog in your arms in terms of anger and aggressiveness.
Your smile adopting a nervous twinge, you exclaimed, "Oh, Deuce... don't be sad— or angry, please." His eyes turned to you, and you mustered the most grateful smile you could. "I appreciate the gesture, I really do..."
You rose to your feet, now that the dog was busy fighting and arguing with the crow. As they cawed and barked at one another, you walked over to Deuce and put a hand on his shoulder, tightly squeezing it.
His tense body loosened up at your words, and his anger turned into disappointment. "I just wanted to cheer you up. You've been so stressed out all day."
"You did cheer me up." Instinctively, you shot forward and wrapped your arms around him. He tensed, and his head looked like it was about to explode. "It worked, Deuce," you murmured and put your head on his shoulder.
Sadly for you, the adorable moment was destroyed when Deuce was ripped away from you rather harshly. The wind was knocked out of your lungs, and upon second glance, you realised that the dog had assaulted the poor boy again — and this time, the crow joined in as well.
Your eyes grew large: Crewel and Crowley working together for once? What a miracle. Yet, you rolled your eyes upon realising that it was for the sake of protecting you from boys; such overprotective parental figures they were... The thought caused your lips to pull up into an amused smile.
It took Ace's yelling and screaming to snap you out of your trance. "Get that crow and dog off my buddy, (Y/n)!"

Your Implied relationship Twisted Wonderland fic was so good please have a part two where the bys come back to visit and find out she has a son. Also her son finds out she´s the missing princess in the books she wrote. This is SO GOOD O MY GREAT 7 PLEASE PART 2! PART 2!
Okay Okay! I'm listening!I'm listening!
I Found Home
Part 2
(part 1)(part 3)(Part 4)(part 5)(Part 6)(Part 7)(Part 8)
Implied relationship
Yuu x twisted cast
Implied relationship in the first half.
Tumblr media
Yuu opens the door to find...
Yuu took a deep breath as she opened to door hoping that she heard correctly. She knew that voice anywhere.
"Henchmen!" A ball of grey fluff barreled into her.
"Grim?!" She gasped as the air was pushed out of her lungs.
She had to be dreaming.
What a cruel dream this was. To see her Grim again would mean crossing over to that world but leaving her Grimm behind. How cruel, how impossible.
"Yuu!" The cat cried rubbing his furry form against her in affection. Every so often headbutting against her face.
"Oh Grim." She sighed tearfully wrapping her arms around him " How did you get here?"
The cat familiar pulled away and smiled smugly.
"Obviously, you can never leave me behind. The great and powerful Grim created portals to countless domains." He proclaimed.
"By which he means we created a portal to find you." Another voice entered.
The feathered cloak and bird mask told her everything she needed.
"Crowley." Yuu gasped.
Once upon a time, she hated his guts but in time she understood him. In the years of staying at the school she saw a side of him that others didn't. He was negligent and overdramatic but he protected her in his own way.
Crowley was true to his word about searching for a way back home for her, but he pushed her to stay. He had doubts as his research found little evidence. Not to mention the chaos going on campus. Grim and Yuu's antics didn't help certainly. Back then she thought it was revenge but it only made things harder.
During her last year asked her to remain in twisted wonderland because it would be easier than readjusting to her old world.
She saw through him. He just didn't want her to go. But a promise was made.
"Look how you've grown," Crowley said wistfully as he moved his mask. "Hard to believe it's only been a few years."
Yuu held back a laugh as she saw him. A few streaks of graying hair stood out from the black. His eyes seemed to wrinkle with the beginning of crow's feet. His job must be aging him prematurely. He definitely seemed more tired. Best not to make fun of an old man.
"Nice to see you too." Yuu said
Their reunion halted when footsteps came stumbling down the stairs. Grimm had woken up and came looking for her.
"Mama.." He called out to her rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Mama."
Yuu couldn't speak as her son saw the strange figures in the house.
"Mama?" Grim repeated astonished, bewildered as he looked back and forth between the parent and child.
"Nina?" Grimm asked.
Answering Grimm's questions this late would be difficult without any prep. So she took the easy way.
"Honey your sleepwalking. You should get back to bed." Yuu thanked the heavens that Grim looked like a walking stuff animal.
Grimm nodded and yawn before stumbling back to his room.
"I have a grandson?!" Crowley gasped "Wait your married?!"
"Of course not, I'm too young an-" Yuu started.
"But not too young for a baby? Do you not remember what I said about protection? Who fathered your child? Who was this bastard who left you to raise this child on your own?"
"It's not like that."
"Was it one of your old 'friends'? Even if you left for your old world it doesn't absolve them of responsibility. Regardless now that the gate is open there will be no choice but to be a father to their child. Divus will have fit when he finds out." Crowley ranted taking a seat on the couch as Yuu tried to calm him down.
"No , I adopted Grimm. He's not related to them."
Crowley wasn't hearing it.
"Honestly when that boy asked for me and Crewel's blessing I knew we were right to say no. And don't lie young lady that child looks exactly like-"
"No, he doesn't!"
They argued back and forth as Grim snuck upstairs through the open door to the room that the little boy slept in.
The room was decorated wall to wall with trinkets, stuffies, and books. On the bed, the boy slept hugging a grey cat with a bow.
Grim shifted closer to examine it when a pair of eyes popped open.
"Nina?" There was that name again "You came to life!"
"My name is Grim, boy. The great and powerful magician!" Grim crowed.
"No, I'm Grimm. That's my name."
Grim paused. Yuu named him Grimm. After him. She didn't forget him. Did she love him that much?
"That's. That's a great name." He said simply as he climbed on the bed "You should sleep. Your mom has always been a stickler for stuff like that."
The familiar curled up against the boy and purred as he lulled them to sleep. Grim could accept this, his new 'little henchmen'.
Meanwhile, Yuu continued to bicker with her old guardian. Crowley wanted visitation rights, family vacations and a chance to see if his grandson might have magic. To which Yuu said no.
Grimm wouldn't be exposed to magic. Not the expectations that came with it or the people who use it. It's not a world made for him. Grimm had been through enough, he has his own trauma and she wasn't making magic part of it.
"I'm not sure you'll get a choice. Not with the gate now open."
"Grimm doesn't have magic. I won't let him be treated the way I was for it. He deserves better."
Tumblr media
"Mama!Mama!" Grim shouted as he stumbled down the big steps. He clung to the railing with both arms to safely.
Yuu finished had cutting up Grim's pancakes as he made it down and ran straight to her. He threw himself at her as his arms wrapped around her hips.
"Careful, sweetheart. You almost knocked me over." Yuu picked him up and sat him at the table. Grimm's seat had a cushion to make it easier to see over the table.
"Cake! Thank you mama!" He smiled picking up his fork from his colorful placemat.
Yuu held back a squeal of joy. Her baby was so so cute and so polite.
"No, they are pancakes. We change the name to make it okay to eat in the morning.
"Cake is cake!" Grimm hooted back.
Yuu didn't argue.
"Mama, I had a dream. Nina was walking and talking!"
"Oh," Yuu said not having a better response.
She had a lot on her mind. The sudden appearance of Grim and Crowley disrupted Yuu's life. She was happy to see them but...it's a lot to adjust too.
She didn't even like the idea of Grimm learning about magic. She had dealt with her own resentment in the past when she was mocked for her status. It would be unfair to make him go through the same. She's a mother now and had to consider these things.
Maybe she was making a mistake.
Grim at least got to meet his little brother. It's too bad he needed to return with Crowley for the time being. Once Yuu was sure they would be a family again. Grim will always be the exception no matter her doubts.
(From this point the story goes on to show the first meetings with the twst boys. Each will be Grimm's first contact so there won't be continuity)
Tumblr media
Riddle
"The Mentor"
No one believed Grim when he said he made a stable gateway to Yuu's world. All of them had tried and failed even Malleus couldn't do it. But Grim was different he had a connection to Yuu. If Yuu still had a strong connection a gateway could be made.
Grim now worked at the school helping Crowley and called everyone to deliver the news.
Riddle thought it would be appropriate to visit. He took the day off, his cases would wait one day. He had worked his way up to district prosecutor recently.
The first thing he noticed when he reached the scenic neighborhood was how peaceful it was. The house were spaced apart and it was clean. Lots of trees and gardens.
The second was one particular house where a young woman was kneading by a flowerbed. She was so focused on her roses that she didn't notice him but Riddle knew it was her. Just like him, time had changed some features. He had grown taller and lost some of his boyish looks but she no different. She was softer in appearance, glowing and matronly even. She grew out her hair but she tied it up.
Riddle reflexively straightened his suit jacket and shifted the bouquet he had brought in his arms. He wondered if she still liked these flowers.
Just as he tried to call her name a loud yelp rang out.
"Ma-ahh!" The exclamation became a wail of pain as a little boy appeared holding out a finger.
Yuu sprang up as she went to the side of a weeping boy. He had pricked his finger on a thorn.
"It okay Grimm. Don't panic, it'll only hurt a moment. You should never touch roses without gloves." She scolded gently. "You know better then that."
"But I wanted to see a red rose. So I thought if I painted one it would turn red. Like in the book." He whimpered as Yuu took out a bandage from her pocket and wrapped it on his finger.
"Grimm you know that in the story that red roses belong to the red king. And that sort of spell was done only by his loyal card soldiers." She admonished.
"Like The Ace Magician and The Spade Mercenary?" He asked.
"Yep, they had orders to do those tasks and you should ask permission to do it as well. Those are the rules. Don't you want to follow the rules?" Yuu asked.
Grim nodded quickly as he gathered his scattered paint and went to put them away like a good boy.
Riddle had hidden himself during the exchange. His mind raced. She had a son. Of course, she had a kid. Why wouldn't she? Anyone with eyes would want her. Anyone with a brain would fall for her. So seeing her married with a family is common sense.
Perhaps the flowers were too much?
"Hello?"
Riddle didn't get time to change his mind as his hiding spot was discovered.
"Hello, Yuu. I brought these for you." He tried to sound calm as he presented the bouquet.
"Riddle!" Her smile was still as warm as it was before. "Oh my, look at how tall you've gotten! You look amazing! How have you been? Come inside, I'll make some tea."
The pair talked amicably as Yuu put a kettle on. All the while a pair of eyes peeked out from a doorway. It was the boy.
"Grimm it's rude to stare. " She scolded.
"Sorry mama." He said but didn't move.
"Grimm? I bet you had to explain that one to your husband." Riddle tried to sound jovial.
"Not really, I don't have one. It just us here." Yuu smiled.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm not."
There was a tug on Riddle's sleeve as Grimm got his attention. In his hand was a book; "The Lost Princess in the Red King's Court"
"Oh, do you like this book? I never read stuff like this at your age." Riddle said taking the book gingerly. He flipped through the pages as the pictures looked eerily familiar.
Grimm leaned on Riddle as he pointed at his favorite characters.
"Mama made this. The lost princess gets kidnapped by a giant crow and is dropped far away from home. She lands in the rose garden and makes friends with a magician and a mercenary who was summoned to work for the king." Grimm explaind
The story continued. The magician and mercenary protected the princess from a troll as they journeyed to see the king. The princess meets a magic cat that she kept. (no, this isn't Wizard of Oz) When they arrived at the Red Kingdom they were bombarded with rules and when the magician was asked to kneel before the king he refused. As punishment, the magician was sent to the dungeons. The princess was the only one not locked away so she frees her friends and challenges the king. The princess pleads with the king to see the dark spirit haunting and the gang banishes it. It ends happily when the king makes the boys knights and asks the princess to stay. She denied him so he told her about a neighboring kingdom that might help her get back home.
It was an extraordinary tale that Riddle knew by heart. Even if the details were changed. It didn't mention that Ace became the next "king" after Riddle graduated. Something Yuu complained about often after the power went to his head.
"That's quite the story. You must really like it." Riddle said hand it back to Grimm. "Do you have a character you like most?"
Grimm looked over to his mom be standing on his tip-toes and whispered into Riddle's ears.
"I like the princess."
"Really?" Riddle asked.
"I tried painting the flowers because she really likes red flowers like the princess. All the flowers turned white to red and the princess liked it." Grimm said proudly.
"I have an idea. I know a way to turn roses red. I could show you." He whispered back.
Grimm squealed in excitement and bounced on his fet as he turned to him mom.
"Can we play outside mama?"
Yuu pursed her lips indecisive of what to do next. She fought off the impulse to be suspicious. She trusted Riddle but did she trust him with her son. They hadn't seen each other in years after all.
She also wanted to be a selfish and keep him to herself. She hungered for the familiarity he brought back into her life.
But the warm gaze Riddle gave her settled her mind. She nodded in agreement and watched Grimm drag him away.
From the window Yuu watched as Riddle kneeled down next to Grimm. He had forgotten about trying to keep his suit clean as he pulled out his wand and handed it to Grimm.
Yuu immediately wanted to rush outside to stop him with every excuse as to why Grimm wasn't ready for magic but stopped herself. Grim wasn't her. He wasn't going to go through what she did.
Riddle taught Grimm how to hold the wand properly and asked him to imagine red roses in from of him. Grimm asked a million questions as Riddle calmly answered.
A good mother doesn't press her fears on her child. She wasn't going to traumatize him like she was. Riddle felt the same. He wasn't his mother and never pushed Grimm farther then needed.
A bit of wordless magic later the roses turned a brilliant ruby red.
"Mama! Mama look! Magic! We used magic" Grimm was in awe of this man.
Yuu cheered along when they returned inside knowing that Riddle did all the work.
"Don't you want to give them to the princess? You know that they are her favorites." Riddle smiled kindly.
"Princess? Mama?" Grimm looked to her with a questioning gaze before recognition lit up in his eyes.
Yuu felt her face burning so red that Riddle would be jealous. Which he wasn't but he couldn't help but think it was payback after all these years for her antics.
