Trey: Ah! Riddle! You need to snap out of it!

Riddle: I can't, Trey...

Riddle: It's whispering to me how I am a failure... *tears rolling down his cheeks*

*his phantom continues to attack Trey*

Trey: Argh!

Cater: Trey!

The Heartslabyul students: We need to get the headmage!

Trey: *coughs* Riddle... You're stronger than this...

*the phantom giving him a mocking laugh, ready to finish him*

Cater: Don't even think about it— Eh?

MC: *has snagged the phantom away from Riddle* *and smashing it to the ground*

The phantom: *shrieking*

Ace and Deuce: Trey-senpai! Riddle-senpai!

Cater: Ace! Deuce!

Ace: What happened— Holy shit! What is that?!

Cater: That isn't important now! We need to get Riddle away from them!

MC and the phantom: *fighting each other off*

The phantom: *sees that they're taking away Riddle, tries to get back to him* Ri...ddle...

MC: *gets close to it, looking at it murderously*

The Heartslabyul students: E-Everyone! M-MC! MC is tearing the phantom to shreds!

Trey, Cater, Ace, and Deuce: ...

MC: *bites the phantom's head off*

The Heartslabyul students: Oh god!

MC: *is temporarily confined*

Idia: Seriously...

Ortho: *scanning MC* All vital signs are fine.

Idia: *suddenly receives a phone call from his father*

Idia's father: Idia, report to me what happened this instant.

Idia: A classmate overblotted and... MC helped.

Idia's father: *takes a breath in*

Idia's father: Did they see how they fight?

Idia: Yep. Everything. It happened in Heartslabyul dorm and the victim was Riddle Rosehearts.

Idia's father: This is bad.

Idia: I know.

Ortho: MC, everything will be alright.

MC: *is sad, thinking they've disappointed them*

Trey: Riddle.

Riddle: *waking up* ...

Riddle: What happened?

Trey: *who's bandaged up* You lost control and overblotted.

Riddle: ...

Riddle: I am sorry, Trey...

Trey: You have nothing to apologize. I wasn't hurt that badly. Thanks to MC.

Riddle: ...

Riddle: Right. Where are they?

Trey: They're in confinement now. For terrorizing the students.

Riddle: What?!

Ace: This is unfair, headmage! They helped and saved Riddle!

Deuce: And I don't think it's right for them to be punished!

Crowley: *sigh* If only Mrs. Rosehearts wasn't here, and completely misunderstanding what had happened.

Ace and Deuce: No way...

Crowley: Let's just hope that Mr. Riddle Rosehearts would talk to his mother to clear things up.

Ortho: Are you feeling agitated? Do you need your favorite plant pot?

MC: *nods*

Ortho: Here.

MC: *holds it protectively*

Idia: Ortho, come here a second.

Ortho: Yes, brother.

Ortho: MC, you stay here. Okay?

MC: *nods*

Ortho and Idia: *closing the door*

MC: ...

"It's hard when everyone starts to fear you. So try to avoid that. Do you understand?"

MC: ...

MC: *tearing up*

MC lives just as lonely as Malleus does, and he thinks to himself...perhaps they could be lonely together?

Loneliness was not something you were unaccustomed to, and perhaps your hopes got a little too high coming to NRC. Although you had Grim Ace and Deuce on the occasion, the majority of students pretended as if you did not exist. This was fine, you said. It isn't different than before. You were used to not particularly having many friends, keeping to yourself, and guarding your heart from the world. You could not be open as you had dreamed of being, for every time you had shown your true nature, being turned away from had become the norm in your life.

But loneliness can fester and turn into self-loathing, tears sprinkling down your cheeks as you sat on the little broken bench in front of Ramshackle, staring out into the dark emptiness of the worn-down garden that hadn't been tended to for quite some time. You could truly sympathize with the garden- perhaps a few people came here and there to tend to the flowers, yet eventually everyone leaves, desolate and alone the floral slowly wither away into nothing. Much as yourself, growing thorns around your battered heart, for being alone is better than being betrayed by the lies of those who claim to care.

However you convince yourself to continue on, choking down those ugly emotions by painting a smile and playing one big game of pretend- for nobody likes to hear the woes of a person known to be an optimist and the face of a proper prefect; their world or otherwise.

Malleus, however, knew that face all too well. He knew from the moment he first met you in the front gates of your run-down dorms, although you spoke to him like any other student, he could see you and him were alike; surrounded by fake smiles and false pretenses of friendship for their benefit or enjoyment. He understood the differences between realness and a front, a mask he noticed you often put on in front of everyone else. Yet with him... you were very much real, and honest, despite sheltering the deepness of your personality in the depths of your heart you hadn't made it a point to lie to the prince as you had gotten to become close to him. He desperately found himself wanting to know you- pulling apart the layers, he wanted to learn more about who you were, about the things you liked, how you felt, how to see the world, to finally rid himself of his loneliness by inviting another to share his burdens; and he was terrified of it all the same.

Malleus grew up understanding his duties and knowing the facade he had to put on in front of everyone else- he knew he had to be the perfect prince, a leader, the face of a country, and the spokesperson of his people. Yet around you...he was free to talk about anything and everything under the sun and moon without judgment, without fear of tainting his name, without the shackles of princehood holding him down. He had people fear him, running away at the simple sight of his horns, and avoiding him as if Malleus were the plague himself. He knew he was destined to be truly alone- that was, until he found someone to be himself around. Although you were often by your lonesome and kept to yourself, you had always found a way to lift his spirits, smiling at him with genuine interest rather than the plastic he was sick of staring at.

That is why he was utterly shocked when he found you staring at the garden, tears pooling down your cheeks with that same look he had been all that familiar with. He had quietly sat next to you on the bench, noticing your melancholic gaze not leaving the garden although you now had company beside you. Together you sat in the silence of understanding, until you had taken a shaky breath and choked out a feeble cry of help.

"I'm tired of being lonely," Was all you said. Malleus felt his hand creep over to yours, gently grasping it and squeezing it with a slight tremble.

"You do not have to be," He said, turning his emerald eyes to stare into your own, "I...am here now." You pursed your lips and nodded slightly, leaning your body against the tall Faes strong build. There was not much to say, not much to do, yet in contrast it seemed as if the puzzle had simple put itself together in one aura of familiarity and assimilation without verbal articulation .

Silence reigned once more...two solitary souls finding comfort in one another's presence.

...For however long it'll last.

" Just who is the monster and who is the man...? "

" The sights and the sound of the city are beautiful. It's like a magnificent piece of art... I can't wait to have enjoy it at the social with the others. "

I might be cutting it close, but I think it was worth it in the end. I'm really happy with how the final card ended up! I did use Malleus's SSR as a reference for the background, but I like that they have some sort of connection with one another.

as was the plan.

Idia: *on a phone call with his dad* I've removed their mouth cover. Is there anything else that you want?

Idia's father: Did they throw a tantrum?

Idia: They were a bit annoyed, but no.

Idia's father: Good. Next, try to remove their chains.

Idia: Huh?

Idia: Why?

Idia's father: It's the right thing to do.

Idia: I know what you're saying. But those chains are—

Idia's father: No longer needed.

Idia: ...

Idia: And what's next?

Idia's father: That's the last thing I would request from you, Idia.

Ortho: Um... I think that one would be impossible, Idia.

Idia: I know. Father doesn't have to know.

Ace: What is it, Idia-senpai?

Idia: Nothing. You two, are you going to stay here?

Ace: Yeah. We have nothing to do in our dorm and our housewarden seems to be going through something. We don't want to get involved.

Deuce: I heard it's a family matter.

Idia: Ugh. Family matters suck. Anyway, Ortho and I are going back to our dorm. And MC, make sure to always brush your teeth from now on.

MC: *grunts*

Cater: Is everything alright in there—

Riddle's mom: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME?!

Cater: Seems not...

Riddle: Mother, I would like to ask you to go home for now. You need to rest.

Riddle: *walking out of his room*

MC: *gets their whiteboard and writes*

MC: 'Smell foul'.

Ace: What could that be? I only smell flowers here.

MC: *closes their eyes*

Ace and Deuce: ...

MC: *then growls again, but harsher* *runs outside*

Ace and Deuce: M-MC?! Wait!

Trey: Riddle? I've brought you some tea and—

This Twisted Wonderland collage on Idia Shroud, Malleus Draconia and Azul Ashengrotto is due to them being a well liked trio, after their group performance for the festival masquerade in Fleur City. That's why I used cards of them in their Masquerade garb for the collage. This is also my first TWST collage and I'm hoping to make more of them in the future. I already got a few planned out.

Although I have duded the collage as "Masquerade IdiMalleAzu," you are free to use IdiMalleAzu as either a poly ship or friendship. Not all ship titles have to be for ships of a romantic nature, they can also be given to friendships and family ships, if you prefer platonic ships.

Ace knew just as well as anyone that in modern day society, it was common to not end up with your soulmate. Some people never met their soulmate, some people's soulmates were just not a good match, some people seemingly didn't even have a soulmate. It was fine. Nothing to get butt hurt about. 

Ace's soulmate mark on the palm of his hand had never even sparkled, let alone lit up. And he'd found someone that he had fun with. He wasn't sure if it was really love, but that was fine since he couldn't be sure if he was even capable of love.

He probably wasn't. His only other relationship, he'd ghosted them once he got bored. So a fun relationship, with no love, was probably all he deserved.

Until the day the you'd poofed into the mirror chamber, and his soulmate mark had glowed for the first time in his life. He saw you looking around in confusion, and at the time, he had assumed you were looking for him. Later he would realize you were too scared to even notice your mark. He was so god damn selfish.

He quietly slipped a glove on that was supplied with his uniform, and decided to wait and scope you out.

….

You'd both just defeated a monster of some kind, and you, Deuce, and the cat monster were laughing together, but he was just thinking of you.

You. You were too good.

He couldn't do this with you. You'd be hurt at first, but it would be better than knowing your soulmate was a heartless asshole who would leave you when he got bored.

You never had to know. He'd take solace in what he had, and give you your best chance for happiness. 

His string of fate had finally become a natural color. And during the SDC auditions, he'd found it belonged to you. 

He'd told you the truth. That he'd been seeing many people, believing that you were dead, or he'd never been destined to meet you. He was practically pleading with you to forgive him for the crimes he'd committed against you, but you told him you'd done the same thing once you'd realized your string wasn't the correct color.

He fought back a wave of intense jealousy, by kissing you, and telling you he'd break up with the one he'd been dating immediately. Hell, he'd be doing it right this moment, if you hadn't told him it'd be cruel for him to do it over a call.

How could he even care about cruel when you were right in front of him? Ready to help him find his happily ever after! 

Lilia had always told him about soulmates, and how they would change your life. When you saw them, your world would literally expand, the otherworldly "colors" flooding your vision, but all you'd be able to focus on is their eyes.

He'd started at NRC, and Riddle Rosehearts had brought up the fact that a marriage of convenience would help Malleus more than being with his soulmate would. Silver had stepped in, repeating what master Lilia had always repeated. But Rosehearts was one that his lord respected dearly. There was no harm in trying it.

And one date with the rich merchant's kid had turned into two, had turned into three, had turned into a full relationship. For Sebek, the connections were very helpful to his king. For his partner, connections to the fae court, which were normally hard to come by, were completely open to them. 

While Lilia often gave the disappointed dad look,  and Silver wanted no part in the relationship, Sebek saw no reason to end it.

At least until the two of you made eye contact, and he finally got to experience color. 

You were ecstatic! But he was torn… could he give up this boon he had for his master, just for his own happiness.

He told you he needed time. You looked disappointed. Perhaps you had your own Lilia back home who had filled you with beautiful promises. But you told him you understood. Albeit with tears glimmering in the corners of your eyes.

He spent three days straight training. He didn't think to stop, even with the sweat streaming into his eyes, causing them  to burn more than they already were. 

It wasn't until he felt his Lord's calming presence entering his periphery, a steaming mug of hot cocoa, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream floating in it, in his hands.

"It would be foolish to work yourself to death."

Sebek halted his moves, sheathing his sword, and quietly grabbing the mug.

"It is not often you are rendered speechless," Malleus smirked,but Sebek could barely nod.

Malleus sighed. "Humans do not live very long. To have one for your soulmate is a blessing few get to share. You will have centuries to be bound to someone you do not love.Do not lose your chance to hold them while you have them."

Malleus vanished as quickly as he appeared. Sebek stared at his hot cocoa, before running to find you, while he still had the chance.

He was always so cold. No matter where he was, he never could find the warmth of his soulmate. He'd ask his friends every once in a while to see if there was a soul that was destined to truly belong to him. The answer was always no. So he lived in eternal winter.

Those trapped in the cold seek warmth. And he'd found solace in a simple witch. There was no love. The relationship was purely to bring warmth to one another.

Then one day, he felt a moment of relief, as his friends came running for him, all of them speaking over one another. The only word he could consistently catch was , "Soulmate". The worst part was that he was literally in the arms of his little witch.

It wasn't that he didn't want you. He desperately did. Especially when Everytime you walked into the room, the cold numbing his fingertips dissipate, and he'd feel like he was in a warm embrace.

But you never pushed him, because of the conversation he had with you the moment you walked into his shop for the first time.

"I can't."

"Huh?"

"Not yet. I have someone relying on me. I'm their only source of warmth. Can you wait for me?"

You truly were perfect for him, because you never brought it up. And if you were anything like him, you desperately wanted the warmth you would feel if you held him close to you. But you were so patient. Pretending everything was fine, while he searched tirelessly for a soulmate that might not exist, for a potion that would simulate the warmth. 

One day though. He promises that one day, he'll have it figured out. And then both of your patience will have paid off.

no one could ever love him. Which is why he wasn't bothered that no one's name was scrawled on his arm. And why he wasn't bothered when his brother had nervously asked if he'd be opposed to a betrothal to someone from another country. It's not like anyone was waiting for him.

It was a comfortable relationship. They definitely didn't love each other. But at least there was someone who had to at least pretend they cared when you complained about something. Comfortable. That's all he could ask for.

Until he'd felt pain on his arm, and found a name scrawled onto it for the first time. In a sea of new freshmen, he could pretend he didn't notice. He could pretend he didn't see.

And he hadn't run into the person the name belonged to, until you stepped on his tail in the greenhouse.

And after that, you were trying. You were trying so damn hard. It was endearing, and he almost let you in.

But deep down, he knew you'd one day seem him for who he was.

So one day, on edge from you asking him questions about himself, he snapped and told you to stop wasting your time, and get out of his life. Stop lying. No one could ever love him.

You glared at him. You called him a coward. And he growled back at you.

"I don't need you!"

For a moment, you seemed startled. Then you glared at him, and held your head high as you told him you wished him the best but doubted he'd find it.

And as he watched you storm off, a part of him knew you were right.

Masterlist

Your lover is always nervous when he's talking to other people. And though it's a formidable shadow in his life, the rare moments of tranquillity that come with your presence hold a gentle beauty. The subtle relaxation, the easing of tense shoulders, and the softening of his guarded expressions—it warms your heart that he can breathe freely around you. In those fleeting instances, when his guard lowers, you see the true essence of his being, and it's in those vulnerable, unfiltered moments that your affection for him grows even deeper.

Your lover harbours a tempest within, a brewing storm that can be triggered by the smallest of things, though it's rarely aimed in your direction. It’s an anger that flares, but it's also a blaze that swiftly extinguishes itself, dissipating at the slightest touch of understanding or reassurance. You're slightly ashamed to admit it, but watching him burst into smoldering, golden flames is ever so slightly amusing.

Your lover holds his younger brother in the highest regard, showering him with unconditional adoration and protectiveness. He takes crafting custom upgrades, playing video games together, and doting on him with an earnestness that knows no bounds. It's incredibly heartwarming just how he's willing to go the distance just for his little brother.

Your lover has no boundaries in scientific creation when he is sparked by motivation. The dormant genius ignites within him, birthing ideas that defy the confines of convention. From the meticulous coding of new programs to the intricate design of futuristic gadgets, his creativity dances on the edge of brilliance. It's in these rare moments that you can see him fully as the technology genius he always was.

Your lover's excitement about the various games and anime that interest him truly rival a child. His eyes alight with a fervour that's infectious, and his words spill forth in a torrent, carrying with them a depth of knowledge and excitement that's utterly captivating. It's a large contrast between the gloomy man who always thinks the worst of every situation. In these moments where he allows himself to hope, you find yourself enchanted by the sheer intensity of his spirit, revelling in the privilege of glimpsing the vibrant core of his being.

Your love how, behind closed doors, he reveals a side that contrasts starkly with his reserved demeanour. He becomes the definition of affection and clinginess, seeking closeness and reassurance in your presence. His walls crumble, allowing vulnerability to emerge as he leans into cuddles, lingering embraces, and moments where he simply revels in your warmth. In these private spaces, he's unafraid to express his longing for connection, finding solace in the intimacy shared between you both, relishing every opportunity to be close and cherished.

Your love how he holds you as something delicate, a precious treasure he fears losing in the whirlwind of his own fears. In the quiet moments, he showers you with a tenderness that speaks volumes, his touch gentle as if afraid to break the fragile connection you share. He navigates your relationship with cautious steps, always nervously watching for signs of distance, a silent fear etched in his eyes that you might one day decide to leave. His actions, though at times hesitant, speak volumes of the depth of his affection, a love that seeks to protect and cherish every moment spent by your side.

Your lover is an enigmatic cosmos of emotions and complexities, a constellation of fears and passions, each shining with its unique brilliance. You share a love that dances amidst the stars, navigating the nebulae of his complexities, finding beauty in the intricate patterns of his soul.

Your lover, is none other than Idia Shroud.
