I can just imagine Victoria and Malleus just bickering and intensely glaring at each other while UiO, Aori, Miren and Jiyoon are just- Witnessing it all💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
UiO is just there for the drama, but her worry is subtle, she won't show it. (She's excited of what might happen)
Aori is legit scared and confused why they are fighting, shouldn't they be friends?? ;;;
Jiyoon is... awfully accepting that, yep, her senior is having a lovers quarrel, just right in front of them. LOL
Miren is confused quite literally, cause what the hell? he was just gone for like, some minutes, why are the faes fighting???

I Dreamed of You (TWST Secret Santa 2023)
This goes out to @rosietrace from your Secret Santa! I hope you like your gift! I combined some elements from your requests and used your OC, Victoria. I apologize if she is ooc btw. I looked at her profile and your writing to understand her. Also, thank you to @twstedsecretsanta for hosting this event :) Happy Holidays!!
Summary: Victoria helps Yuu with some errands only to find herself dreaming of Malleus Draconia
Note: ft. Victoria Shard (@rosietrace's OC), hint of Victoria x Malleus, fluff, banter, and humor
Warning: not beta read and possible ooc characters
Word Count: 2.2k
Masterlist: here
Tumblr media
"Thank you for helping me out last minute, Victoria," Yuu said apologetically as the girls entered Ramshackle. "I usually ask Ace and Deuce to help me clean out the rooms, but they bailed out on me."
Victoria chuckled and elegantly waved her hand in the air. "Nonsense, Yuu. I am happy to lend you a hand." She followed Yuu into an abandoned room hidden deep in the dorm. The entire dorm was currently undergoing a makeover after Charons barged in. Luckily for Yuu, Vil had allowed her to return to the dorm to grab some last-minute things before her vacation at Pomefiore began. 
Victoria let out a whistle as Yuu entered the room. "Wow, Vil was not wrong. I thought he was lying when he complained about how dusty this place was."
Yuu grinned, having been used to hearing similar remarks from others. "I blame it on Crowley’s minimum wage salary, but Grim and I survived somehow. You should have seen how Vil was when he was here. If he was not rehearsing, he was coming up with a list of how to renovate this place."
"Pomefiore was quiet with him gone. It was nice to taste what it was like being a housewarden during it," Victoria muttered the last part.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, Yuu." Victoria smiled softly and approached a nearby box. "I wonder what is in here."
"Be careful. There might be some broken artifacts in there."
Victoria chuckled. "I know, Yuu. That is the last thing you need to worry about for me." Her fingers grazed something cool and hard. Victoria, interested in the item, carefully picked it up to examine. She blew out some of the dust to reveal the artifact. It was a long necklace with an oval-shaped gemstone at the pendant. The gem was held in silver with a rose engraved in it. Victoria was unsure about the gem's color as it was dust-covered. 
"Whatcha got there?" Yuu asked, stepping towards Victoria. Her eyes examined the pendant. "I have never seen before. It does not look like I've seen in my history book either."
"It's probably something from the previous inhabitant." Victoria shrugged. "You could probably sell it for some money if we can see what this gem is." She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and cleaned the necklace. A bright light appeared the moment Victoria rubbed the cloth against the stone. 
"What's going on?" Yuu panicked, startled as she covered her eyes with her arm. 
"I don't know!" Victoria exclaimed. She dropped both her handkerchief and the necklace in the chaos. Just as the necklace hit the ground, a cloud of smoke appeared and enveloped Victoria's body. She felt her eyes grow heavy, and she began to lose control of her body. A piercing sound filled her ears and overpowered Yuu's concerned yelling. Victoria began to feel lightheaded as her vision became blurry. 
Before she knew it, everything became black.
---
Victoria was running through the forest.
It was a complete 180 from where she was a minute ago back in Ramshackle. Her purple and black gown flowed around her as she automatically navigated her way around. It felt familiar, yet Victoria had never been there before. 
The forest was dark but had a strong aura of magic within it. Victoria could see some steep cliffs and mountains in the distance. Despite that, the moonlight warm against Victoria's skin. The girl felt a smile form on her face. Her body felt free even though she could not stop to observe the scenery. 
A set of firefly-like lights appeared, causing Victoria to stop moving in the middle of a field.  
"Took you long enough," Victoria found herself automatically saying. Victoria’s eyes widened in shock. It was like she was trapped in her own body. 
The lights formed into a familiar figure, one she was not too pleased to see. "I had to give you a head start before I searched for you." Malleus grinned, and he pulled Victoria into his arms. 
WHAT? Victoria asked internally, but the close proximity gave her a better look at Malleus. Gone were the Diasomnia dorm uniforms, but a black and purple outfit with a cape and silver pieces of armor on it. A silver crown with a green gem in the center was on his head. His face looked more mature than what she was used to. Yet, his eyes looked the same, except he stared at her like she was the brightest star in the sky. 
"You don't have to give yourself a handicap. We could've arrived together."
"Really?" Malleus chuckled. He gazed into Victoria's eyes and pushed some of her dishevaled purple hair behind her ear. "I prefer me chasing you. It reminds me of our school days, where I would chase you across campus to get your attention."
Malleus? The prince of Briar Valley, chasing after her? Victoria thought. That annoying prince would consider that the last thing he would ever do. 
"This again? I've already lived and heard this story many times. It's your fault that the kids keep asking about it before they sleep."
"The kids like it because it helps them sleep peacefully at night," Malleus smirked. "It also gives me time to dedicate my nights to having you sc-" Victoria covered Malleus' mouth with her hand. 
"Don't think about finishing that sentence, Draconia." 
Malleus pressed his lips against Victoria's palm and gently pulled it away to speak. 
"I was going to say, screaming happily about the gargoyles. What was that phrase Lilia mentioned? ‘Get your mind out of the gutter.’ You should do that, my love." He smiled innocently. Victoria frowned. She made a mental note to punch Lilia the next time she saw him. Malleus laughed at her reaction. "Now, now, let's focus on our alone time. We cannot let any second go to waste."
Victoria rolled her eyes, and her frown disappeared slightly. What was she even doing here in the first place? "I know, Malleus. I don't want to come home to find Lilia throwing the kids off a tall tower to teach them how to fly."
KIDS?! Victoria yelled internally. Sure, her body is saying these words automatically, but she did not have kids, and with Malleus, of all people!
"He won't. Although Lilia did the same to me when I was younger…"
Victoria placed her hand on Malleus' mouth again. "You better not finish that sentence for my state of mind." She felt Malleus smile as he gently pulled her hand away again. 
"I won't. Instead, I will do this." Malleus snapped his fingers, and fireflies filled the field. The girl had to admit, but watching the fireflies light up the flowers around them felt magical. It almost looked like the stars had come down from the sky and around her. Victoria kneeled in the grass to look at the light and noticed Malleus looking at her fondly. 
"Victoria," Malleus' voice caused Victoria to stand up. He held a hand out to her. "Would you like to dance with me?"
No
"Yes," Victoria said, and she let herself get swept away in a slow dance by Malleus. The fireflies made way for them with each step or twirl they took. Victoria wanted to look away, but the soft glow illuminated Malleus' eyes like emeralds. The girl felt something in her chest she never felt before. 
I'm probably coming down with something. Victoria told herself. It's most likely from staring at Malleus longer than she needed to. 
Malleus hummed a tune for the two as they continued their dancing. Victoria had to admit that Malleus was a great dancer. She had heard stories about how good we were from students who attended the Noble Bell College event. 
She did not plan on admitting it out loud to him, though. 
Malleus stopped moving when the song ended. He picked up Victoria's left hand and placed a soft kiss near her ring. 
"Happy anniversary, my love."
To this day, Victoria has no idea what happened. Still, she only remembers Malleus's smile after he uttered those words and as the world faded away again.
Tumblr media
There was chatter all around her, much more than there was before. Victoria could hear the worried tone in Yuu's voice and in the new person. Her head hurt too much to concentrate on the speaker. 
"Victoria?" a deep voice asked. Victoria felt something warm against her forehead. 
"I think I saw some movement! She must be waking up." Was that Yuu? That's right, Yuu was right by her before she got knocked out. The warmth went away. 
"Indeed, Child of Man. She is coming through." Victoria knew that voice from anywhere. Malleus Draconia. What was he doing there?
Victoria felt her head hurting like Tartarus. She groaned as she placed her hand on her forehead. 
"Where am I?" Victoria asked, opening her eyes. There was not only one face but two, and they both had concerned expressions. 
"You had fainted whenever we were cleaning out the storage room. You didn't wake up, so I called Tsunotaro for help," Yuu explained. Victoria looked at her with a confused expression. 
"You called Malleus? Why?"
Malleus spoke up this time. "The Child of Man said it looked like you were having a nightmare. I had used my magic to make it more pleasurable until you woke up."
Victoria frowned. Her view of pleasurable was not with a future with Malleus of all people. 
Yuu, noticing Victoria's frown, cleared her throat. "I notified Vil of your whereabouts, and he said you are free to stay here or go back to Pomefiore. I can prepare a guest room for you if you choose to stay here."
Victoria smiled at Yuu's offer and shook her head. "I think I will return to my room if that is alright with you."
"That's alright with me!" Yuu grinned as she turned to Malleus. "Malleus, can you walk Victoria back to Pomefiore?"
"Sure." "What?"
Victoria's usually poised face became flabbergasted as she turned to Malleus and then back at Yuu. "I could walk there by myself."
"I agree, but I don't want you to faint again. I would walk with you, but I must feed Grim his tuna. Luckily, Malleus is here, so I don't have to call Rook to come get you."
Victoria would prefer if Rook came by instead of Malleus, but the puppy dog eyes Yuu was making made it hard for Victoria to express her true thoughts. "Fine, I'll let Malleus bring me."
Yuu's grin grew wide. "Yay!" She jumped up and pulled Victoria to stand. "Make sure to text me once you make it back." Yuu pushed the girl towards Malleus, who caught her quickly. 
The walk back to Pomefiore was quiet and awkward. Luckily for Victoria, Malleus did not speak except for looking deep in thought and the obligatory "goodnight" once they reached her dorm. The halls were quiet as Victoria lay in her bed, her mind filled with the events from her dream. 
That's all it was: a dream. That does not mean it would come true.
Right?
Tumblr media
Lilia entered the Diasomnia lounge with the intent of going into the kitchen. He was somewhat peckish and thought whipping up a late-night snack would help. No one should be up this late at night. The bat fae did not expect to see one of his sons sitting on the dorm's sofas looking deep in thought. 
"Malleus? Why are you still awake? You have class in the morning." Lilia said like a father would if he found his child stealing cookies from the cookie jar. 
Malleus looked at the clock on the wall, and his eyes widened. "It is? I did not realize how long I was sitting here."
Lilia raised an eyebrow and sat next to Malleus. "It seems like something is on your mind. You can let it out on me if you want to."
Malleus sighed and looked down at his lap before speaking. "Have you ever felt as if you were connected to someone? Like you were bonded to them?"
Now, it was time for Lilia to be the one in shock. "I can't say I have, but I read books about that phenomenon during my travels. There is a story similar to that where the Rose Princess met her prince in a dream."
"Interesting." Malleus hummed and turned to Lilia. "Earlier, I was in Ramshackle because the Child of Man said there was an emergency. Victoria from Pomefiore had fainted, and the Child of Man wanted me to use my magic to wake her up."
"Did your magic work?"
"I did not use any magic. I placed my hand on her forehead, and she woke up minutes later." Malleus confessed with a frown on his face. He looked away to think more about the cause, unaware of the smirk growing on Lilia's face. 
"Oh, Malleus," Lilia sighed and threw an arm around his son. "It seems like you need to learn more about what is happening. Luckily, I kept a few copies of those stories I mentioned in my dorm."
Malleus eyes sparkled. "I see," He stood up and dragged Lilia towards the dorms. "Then we cannot waste a second until we find an answer to my questions."
Lilia let himself get dragged away. All thoughts of the late-night snack were gone. His mind was interested in learning what was happening between his son and a girl.

_____________________________________________
Tumblr media
Beneath the rays of the lightings of the sun above the dormitory residing the current residents of the Ramshackle Dormitory of NRC, and additional of few visitors who came to stop by in a usual soon-to-be afternoon routine of hanging out as students. The inside of the newly established dormitory shows the current staying residents of the Ramshackle Dorm are Ellis, Juvia, and Carol plus with the visitors from the other NRC Dorms UiO, and Victoria. All of the girls inside were having a usual afternoon and in addition to the latest chaos and interesting gossip around the madness academy of Night Raven College, a prestigious school for villains. Then again... Most of the students aren't that bad as you look at them further the more you stay in this strange wonderland of oddness, but then there's the never-ending rivalry on them at a certain school called Royal Sword Academy. But it didn't change the fact that many things one after another... Yet if you were there, you don't want to forget the fun and trouble that were tossed at you.
Currently everyone in the Ramshackle was having the usual afternoon like any other day, chatting away to let time pass on to slowly end the bright and shining sunlight for a usual new tomorrow, then again the topic the girls are discussing about is more girlish kind for the others, while the rest just decide to go have the pleasant tea and crumpets on the table, the only ones who were discussing the girlish topic were Juvia and Ellis and Carol who got dragged in by the two, while the rest who came by decided to listening what they were talking ( well apparently it's only Juvia and Ellis talking while Carol is having her ears opened to both girls ) along.
The topic you asked? Well-
"Well~ Juvia. Aside from Deuce, is there anyone else you find interesting in?" Ellis hummed in sweetest delight, with a simple smile on her lips formed at the end of her words.
"A-Ah-! Uh- Well- That's-" Juvia then eventually stuttered her words as she flushed herself in a lightness of red on her face by the brief second as the question was then passed onto her like the baton was thrown at another performer, eventually putting her in a very normal position of getting teased after.
"Well... Good thing it didn't pass onto me.." Carol muttered with an awkwardly formed smile as she sipped from her cup of tea, remembering that she was rather cornered by those two girls when she got questioned by whoever male companion she met and became familiar with would be her potential 'The One', which was still part of the topic that the three girls were having.
Victoria was humming along in a normal tune as she then listened to the three girls talking further on while UiO was having a fun time in the dorm rather exploring around and asking questions which no one probably had the time to answer them. Eventually, Juvia went rambling onto her mind of whoever caught her interest, but there were countless people who could make her fall over on her own tippy toes or tower her like the skyscraper in any city ( aside from Malleus, ofc ). But in the end, Juvia gave up, but only explained that there were too many of her choices to just choose only one... Then again, she became a new tomato that had grown beautifully for harvesting in autumn. Eventually the conversation continued, which then baton then passed onto...
"Alright, so Ellis. Who's interesting to you? Anyone picking from your bucket?" Juvia stammered as she fixed her words, which she managed to calm herself back to normal. Well it was obvious that Mrs. Pretty Pinky herself yours truly, Ellis always falls for many people in various gender-types that could be her kind of type of person she'd be with for the rest of her life or she could get multiple partners if she can. But to anyone's surprise... There were various ones that she met and had got into her bucket list of choices, which also includes the Malleus Draconia himself after seeing him in person.
The others were waiting for her reply, which Ellis only hummed while thinking with her thoughts, but she then flashed rather a cheeky smile on her face.
"Well~ guess a name!" She sang happily, in which her cheeks then flushed into a light pinkish color as she smiled.
Then many gave out the ones that she'd been shy with, but aside from that, they answered only one name.
"Malleus." The others replied by rather a straight or normal shout tone. ( To which Juvia and UiO had placed their bets on it, while Carol and Victoria didn't seem to bet on it ). Ellis then somewhat likely blinked at the answer, which the girl then shyly swayed her head from side to side in a bit of a girly way. Which put the others in rather surprise expressions, well except Victoria who then raised an eyebrow at her.
"So.. It's not Malleus? Who is it then?" UiO asked, which anyone can see that their curiosity is eventually ringing like wanting the answer radar. Eventually everyone waited for her answer, which Ellis took rather a simple breath as she spoke it out loud-
"It's Tatsu!"
The slight second she said it, the second everyone looked at her in a sudden change yet surprised expression ( that's Juvia and UiO if you're wondering who ). Although only two who were Carol and Victoria seem to have only raised an eyebrow at her but then nodded at her reply while the remaining two then looked at each other, which they weren't expecting that kind of reply but they seemed to want an answer from her soon. But of course, anyone in this room of the dormitory lounge area would have been familiar with that nickname aside from the other students in the school.
Tatsu, or that should be mentioned by his full name as... Tatsuo Kimoto. He was also a magic-less student who had been brought to the entrance ceremony alongside Carol, Juvia, and Ellis, and in addition to his own cousin joining with him in the chaos of mess, Chizuko Miyato. Even so, by the 'not-so-very-kind-and-helping' headmaster Dire Crowley, he offered the group a place to stay in the Ramshackle Dormitory which was rather abandoned and forgotten by the other seven dorms in the school. On that very same day ( in addition to adding Grim in the grouping as well ), it was a very awkward starting for the whole group but it didn't take long for them to be rather a group of students that can be easy to approach by many others... Till each one of them managed to gain somehow special abilities in one of the strangest events that happened so far...
Well that is for only three of the girls. Chizuko and Tatsuo were the sheer opposite from the three of them......
The two cousins were clearly different from any other being that this wonderland had to withstand to see from them. Thier abilities... Were beyond seeing what reality can be even viewed in a normal sense of mind. Both were rather.... 'Diabolic'.
In a sense of way to describe it... 'Diabolic' in human flesh. When it appears before them in rather... In one of the traumatic events that happened in this school, it burst out of the blue for the two cousins... It happened like an unexpected surprise to be shown in the worst way possible, it was kept as a secret to a safety sealed away from others from knowing it but it didn't last long when each strange incident happened one after another that it didn't feel like stopping at all for anyone...
Ellis and the other group in the Ramshackle were worried till the outburst climax of the incident was welcomed... But stopping the outbreaks from the two traumatized cousins had to be put in harm's way... It was not a pleasant sight to see or imagine it that way... But the Ramshackle Members and the rest of the student body were prevented from seeing the ungodly sight of the aftermath once it was settled for.
Perhaps Ellis was lucky to be born not to see or know too much in her mind... If she had seen what had happened that day.. Perhaps that the words within her favourite color will vanish without even a single thought by just the single look by it alone. Lucky for her, the lasting of her innocence didn't leave all together thanks to Victoria and Carol and more who prevented that from happening the minute the cousins were taken to recover from everything that had happened that day but there were circumstances that prevented any student from knowing what had happened that day, which it was kept as a dark secret that cannot be spoken about.
Besides... Ellis's personality took a whole 180 shift change on that day. She really wanted to know what had happened that day because she was worried about the two cousins ever since it took place! She really wanted to! But she and the rest of the group got stopped by the school's authority, the poor girl couldn't do much with her abilities...
The tragedy that happened in the academy was nearly a month ago... It was rather an awful memory to remember.
While as the two cousins were slowly recovering in the infirmary of the school's academy, their hidden identities were out. Lucky that the Ramshackle Members managed to know what had happened after being shut down by the authorization by the school and it's staff members to secure the situation from being explored to the publicly outside of the school, But the sudden surprise on that day to see them was Ellis eventually shouting in worry and anger for the two korean cousins, not only that they cope it to the brink of experience the shear pain again, but was also upset that they kept it away from everyone including herself. The brunette was upset but then went to fall down.... Were her salty tears afterward, she sobbed softly as she clung and hugged onto both Tatsuo and Chizuko at the same time as the other students in the group did the same.... In pureness relief and happiness that they were okay and alive in the end.
Yes... It was all over for them..
It seems that Victoria had been fully aware of Ellis's obvious feelings for her full-of-surprise korean crush Tatsuo, then again he's also an interesting guy with a similar black appearance like his cousin Chizuko. Lucky for her, Tatsuo normally treats Ellis like a normal buddy of a companion regardless of gender but since she gained feelings for him, it was rather clear. Carol was on the same page as her, well the only ones who didn't know much about it were Juvia and UiO.
"Eeeh?! Tatsu-kun?!" Juvia explained, with her yellow-eyes widened at the sudden turn of surprise, UiO then started at Ellis with sparkling eyes as if she was a bit surprised that it wasn't her dorm leader that got her attention, but hearing their friend's name was not something that they were expected to notice.
"Since when did you get it?" Carol asked as she placed her empty cup down on the table, she pushed up her glasses up to her nose as she listened to the conversation.
"Besides, it was obvious that you're always sticking around with them whenever the others weren't around. Especially Kimoto at the slightest chance." Victoria added in, then which Ellis then sweatdroppedat her response. She didn't expect that it was pretty noticeable at all... Until now at least.
"Well~ How should I put it... You know he had this kinda vibe you know..?" Ellis muttered as the others nodded which they can see that she was fidgeting her fingers rather shyly as the others waited for her reply.
"But aside from that-! He's such a wonderful gentleman!! Not only does he understand most women's talks such as myself- he even knows when to get the message too!! And- more importantly-"
From everyone else who can notice inside and out of this room of the dorm as time passes forward, it was her rambling on and on about her opinions and thoughts on him. But no one wanted to interrupt her talking about her eternal crush on him. Why is that? Because that is typically Ellis being Ellis, no one is judging that one out of the box.
-------------------------------------
Tumblr media
"FFFUUUCCKKK YYOOUUU- YYYYIIIUUUU-!!" A rather somewhat masculine voice shrieked throughout somewhat of the vision of the cloudly blue skies of Twisted Wonderland, of someone falling straight fast down. None other than someone that no one has been familiar with before... Curious if you might ask?
The person who was falling down was a male ( but in actuality, they're gender-fluid ) person of age 19 and is probably still a young teenager but is about to be an adult soon, in clothing style of simplest of cardigans but in a slight of darkest colors, eyes of reddish mixed in purple, and nude color of pink for his eyes and wears a pair of glasses. This person is currently in a brink of panicking as they begin to fall down fast to the very ground of this new world that they had fallen through by book back in a strangest location that probably wouldn't exist normally in a way, not as anyone can think about it...
There was another person falling down beside them, however this one was rather... Odd looking to see and is possible to be gender-fluid alongside with them. Their eyes were covered with a black blind fold, and it seems sturdy enough not to be removed by hand if possible, elegantly with white long snowy hair as the falling snow on the lovely winter nights on December evenings, lastly in a monochrome-color choice of clothing with additional of wearing a tight shirt and pants. This person doesn't seem normal to look...
And currently right now, both of them are falling straight down if they are going to crash or now. However, the white-haired individual didn't seem to be bothered by as he then turned to the panicking individual, who is still panicking to the brink of getting... Another death..?
How odd to know...
"You know what Kazuki, you should have been more aware that you're the one who opened that book back there!"
"Forget about that!! What kind of book are we falling into anyways-?!"
"You didn't see the title before falling into this shit?"
"Damn you moron- AND WE'RE ABOUT TO CRASH-!!"
"Interesting my man."
As soon Kazuki then noticed the clear ground that the two were about to hit soon, the young male quickly closed their eyes as he was about to be prepared for another death impact for another damage... Nothing happened as their eyes closed shut tight, embracing the usual impact that they got every time that they entered a book- As Kazuki opened his eyes, she then noticed two familiar faces and was floating in midway air as Yiu spoke.
"Huh, I didn't expect to see you both here." The strange reaper muttered out loud, looking at two black-haired people at the bottom, a black-haired ravenette was holding her scythe as a non-wording spell was cast, preventing both Kazuki and Yiu from hitting the ground on the rough edge ( although that Yiu can get damaged like any body anyone has but however cannot get any pain ).
"Oh please don't bet on that, as soon as we heard screaming up in that same old sunny skies. I just had a gut feeling." Chizuko explained as she placed the two down on the ground slowly as her floral yet reddish colored scythe eventually vanished, she somewhat smiled cheeky at the two as if she recognized them.
"True, it's been long since we've heard your chaotic screams." Tatsuo stated as he too then smiled at the two familiar faces and had offered his hand at Kazuki as they grabbed it with their own hand and added a smile back at the two cousins while Yiu then regained his floating ability right after being placed onto the ground.
"I'd take that we always bump into familiar faces, but it's always the first people back in the eternity within the resurrection side." Yiu explained as he yawned as they then noticed Chizuko's sly reaction.
"Oh~? But we're one of the many and always the first people that both of you guys always meet back in the library and shelf selection in whatever side you're in. Whatever befalls for you two is always like before." Chizuko stated as she then pointed her finger at both of the individuals. It didn't take long for all four of them to laugh at the statement that was completely obvious to know about.
"But then again, it's a huge surprise to see you two again. I'd never known that I would crash into both of you once more. Chizuko, Tatsuo." Kazuki laughed as they shook their head as the two cousins then nodded at their words that made them smile like no one has did before, the words that flow through their mouth was actually true...
Rather then, it's been... About two years or perhaps more than just two years sinnce Kazuki last saw them face to face before it ended... Memories were about to flow back in as he recalled them...
They didn't want to forget... How it all started.
"Oi, Kaz. Are you tearing up?" Chizuko teased mischievously which Tatsuo punched her left shoulder after both were looking at Kazuki's face. They quickly shook their face from side to side quickly then created... Their usual cocky expression that even brings back more of their nostalgia.
"Ha.. Funny. No tears on me."
"Gross."
"Fuck off, Yiu."
Right at that moment, the sound of the door was then opened. The four then noticed the Ramshackle Dorm Residence, there stop Ellis and Carol who opened the door, there the two brown-haired girls noticed the cousins there but they also noticed two unfamiliar faces as well, putting the two girls into pure confusion towards them. It wasn't before long when the others then noticed the commotion as well.
"Tatsuo? Who are those two people?" Ellis yelled, as both then made direct eye-contact, a pair of green colored-eyes then met a pair of black colored-eyes, unable to break away.
"Fellow friends of ours!" The black-haired male replied back loudly enough for the others to hear him.
"Hey, why don't you both come inside to relax?" The female ravenette explained, which Kazuki then agreed while Yiu then loud out a faint 'tch' but then joined along the group, soon enough everyone then went back inside the dorm.
-------------------------------------
Rather it was already in the middle of the afternoon, aside from that. Both Kazuki and Yiu were introduced by Chizuko and Tatsuo to the others, though they weren't expecting that both of them fell from the sky as in....like another way of entering Twisted Wonderland... Which, it was odd for anyone to know, aside from the others from their world who entered Twisted Wonderland through the entrance ceremony, which Kazuki is aware of. But when Victoria and UiO then asked both of them further ( well in quite the suspicion on the two as well too, well on Victoria's part though and UiO was throwing endless questions )... The answers they were about to get became surprising and unexpected.
"So... Kazuki, right? You... ended up in that 'Collection of Eternity' two years back ago due to an accident and then ended up going back there again by 'allowment' and which you got here by entering a book and then falling in?" Carol repeated and which Kazuki nodded in agreement, as she looked at Kazuki in concerned after she heard how they ended up there in the back before.
"Is it possible to enter while being separated from your body and being conscious there?! Oh- I want to try it!! I want to see that library of eternity that you spoke of!!" UiO exclaimed, looking pretty excited in their eyes as they sparkled.
"Hah? You need to leave your body if you want to." Yiu bluntly replied, which UiO looked at the white-haired floating reaper for a split second and doesn't seem to get the answer from them till Carol explains to them what it means.
"So... About that, Chizuko, Tatsuo were you guys... That brutal to them?" Ellis stuttered, the cousins then shook their heads as they recalled those memories back then, which they can sweatdrop.
"Ahaha... It wasn't just us. The others too... Besides, they've been there too." Tatsuo explained, which a realization came across at the others.
Others... Were there other people in this too..?
"Yeah a lot if you want to know who, there's Haruki and Sasuke. Alessandro and Scott. Lolanthe, Yomi and Carlos and many more. Yeah, it's nearly everyone that you guys met only some of them back then at the other schools." Chizuko explained with a soft smile as she took a sip from her cup of her favorite drink.
"So... Then, they're also.." Victoria muttered as all of the four nodded without a single moment of hesitation and backing off, what the others can do is stare in quite a bit of shock at the four but then smiled, knowing that they would be surprised in explanation of story-telling of their two-year prior history..
"Yeah, that's about everything you got to know... But I don't mind spoiling more if that satisfies your curiosity, there's plenty on the plate for everything." Kazuki mentioned as he patted Yiu's back, which the white-haired floating individual then grunted in annoyance that the talk has to continue even longer, however the shockness everyone had was wearing were washed away quickly within a few seconds afterward and we're now fascinated by the aspects of everything that had happened explained by Kazuki alongside with Yiu floating beside near at his shoulders, with Chizuko and Tatsuo handling the details to make the answers make more sense and understandable for them to view the image in their minds better... Especially when it comes to something that was interesting.. Surely.
( The only thing the four wouldn't mention a single word is the 'Head of the Collection' herself............ Surely, if they ever want to- truly anyone is a huge ass goner. )
While everyone in the room was chatting away to let time go by, Tatsuo then decided to go outside to catch his breath, in the meantime Ellis managed to see the black-haired male heading outside at the backyard of the dormitory. Seeing her little chance, she then carefully sneaks away quietly from the others in the lounge area and then joins her soon-to-be hers outside at the backyard of the Ramshackle Dormitory. Outside of the garden, with the sun completely setting making a likely pinkish color of the atmosphere, there too Tatsuo looking at the sun doing down as he noticed Ellis then joining at his side and noticed the pretty sun making a beautiful pink colored sky as it goes down.
For now.... It was just them alone in their own world.
"It's been quite a day for us, hasn't it...?" Tatsuo spoke as he looked at Ellis who joined him in the backyard, who then clung onto his arm as they watched the sunset.
"Yeah... Your whole story back there is unbelievable... How long have you kept it from me~?" The brunette pouted visibly as Tatsuo noticed her moping expression and eventually laughed at her reaction.
"Trust me now, Eli. It has restrictions from being told to anyone that includes you. It has to take time to hold long enough before it can explain itself. Even a girl has to have patience in waiting." Tatsuo stated as he then patted the brunette's hair, which Ellis wasn't happy with his answer and then pouted once more.
"Hah.... It's true that I indeed HAVE the patience to wait for a long time. But I'm not that patient enough to wait that long!! But honestly, when can you tell me everything like right now, that includes you too Tatsu?!" Ellis whined as she waved her arms floppingly at him, which Tatsuo sighed at her whining and then looked at her in the eye.
"Alright then, so... Do you have a wish?"
"Huh?"
That was odd. Ellis wondered why he asked if she had a wish. But the confusion on her facial expression was in fact an invitation for Tatsuo which was enough for him to handle it for her. But to Ellis, she couldn't help but think about it and wondered why...
"Eli, if there's none on you. Then I can't tell you everything that I've got." Tatsuo sighed, making a convinced disappointed expression on his face, which put Ellis into a huge thinking for a while till she then quickly replied to him.
"I-I- I do!!" She shouted, soon Tatsuo made one open eye-contact at her determination.
"If that's the case... Then what would it be?" As he asked, Ellis then took a breath and answered.
"To know you better, like I was trying to do back before!! Because of that incident that you and Chizuko got involved in had put me on a stop hold!! You were so put to stone as much that I wanted to be closer to you- And then, I managed to after you recovered yet you still didn't tell me everything!! So, I want to-" As Ellis started talking about what she wanted, she then noticed Tatsuo putting his finger upon his lips, a faint smirk appeared which surprised her quickly. Tatsuo's eyes were softly closed as he started to speak.
"You know.... There was a really really old legend back in my home once ago. That involves wishes including yours." He spoke, which Ellis herself couldn't move in the sudden closeness that she found herself.... Between her and Tatsuo.
"They say that... If that person says their wish to the other that they wanted to be with for the rest of their lives..."
As Tatsuo then continued his talking yet softly in her voice which Ellis still stayed frozen from her position, she felt his hand which was pretty warm to feel, he then opened his eyes as the two made close eye-contact directly till...
"The wish is the one who falls down... With the person they made for the other as an oath of promise."
And with that, a pair of lips then collided with the other. The brunette's green eyes then went wide quickly as she realized the position she was now in....... Yes. Tatsuo himself, was once one of her close friends who now became her current crush and will become her soon-to-be... had already sealed the deal between themselves... The timing was perfect... Well too perfect in Ellis's eyes..! Still standing still with her lips taking a taste from his lips, the two then separated themselves with Tatsuo then lick his lips afterward and then smiled, leaving poor Ellis as stunned as a frozen statue.
"You know, if you want more... I'm waiting in my room tonight." Tatsuo explained as he was about to walk away, he then felt a force drag from his arm which his expression didn't falter as he turned around, just to find Ellis now holding his arm. A sudden realization washed over her mind...
He went outside on purpose... Which caused this to happen.
"Are you that surprised princess?"
"T-T-T- y-you.... Huh....?"
"We'll talk more inside, come on now. Dinner is about to be ready~" The black-haired male hummed as he then smiled like before as he then held Ellis on bridal style, causing the brunette to become more flustered in the freshly darkest pink color that you ever can imagine in this scene.
This... Becomes Ellis's unforgettable memory.

Aequorin (Azul x MC)
This is something different I came up after talking with my friend Kay about Azul and mermaids. She wondered “Do mermaids notice when they cry?” and I just had a moment of inspiration.
MC here can work as a sef-linsert or reader too.
Thanks to polyphenols@AO3 for beta-reading this!
-
Azul doesn't like the colorful fluorescence coming from Idia's penlights nor the green hue that companies Malleus when he appears. They remind him so much of his own luminescence, the one that betrayed the tears he shed when he was young.
"Do mermaids cry?"
The prefect asks him but he refuses to answer, telling her instead that legends said that mermaids would only cry when they lost a loved one, and their tears became pearls.
"Yes, but how can you see the tears in water?"
"I'm afraid I do not know. Perhaps you can ask Jade when he arrives."
"Have you never cried in your octopus form?"
Azul doesn't reply and instead stares at the large fish tank in front of them. One jellyfish dares to come closer to the glass, and accidentally hits itself. The impact causes small bursts of pale blue light that cut deep in Azul's heart.
The aequorin that gives birth to this light is a sign of distress, to warn other jellyfish nearby of possible danger. The aequorin from Azul's eyes revealed the weakness of the chubby octopus from years ago. He finds it troublesome that such primitive mechanism to communicate are still permeated in them.
"No, I have never.'"
The prefect sighs but offers him a sympathetic smile, taking his hand.
"When you do, tell me what color they are. I promise I won't laugh."
-
Aequorin is a bioluminescent protein found in the crystal jellyfish Aequorea victoria. This jellyfish in particular produces this protein and the green fluorescent protein, widely used as fluorescent markers in molecular biology and biochemistry. Azul isn’t a jellyfish but it would be neat if he shared some characteristics with other real life sea animals.
Thank you for reading!

{ Remarry with me }
Genre: Royal AU oneshot
Pairing: Malleus Draconia x Victoria Shard(Royal AU)
Ocs featured: Victoria Shard, Ellis Clawthorne(brief appearance)
❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀
Author's note: This was heavily inspired by the remarried empress with the implications of how Victoria was treated by her husband, the inclusion and mention of a concubine who's currently pregnant, etc.
This is my interpretation of how Heinrey asked Navier to remarry with him, but with Malleutoria :3
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, especially in the reblogs ^^ they really help out writers like me on Tumblr
Hope you enjoy this!
Note: Please reblog. It really does help out writers and artists, and other content creators on Tumblr. No pressure, of course, but I'd really appreciate it if you reblogged this post, especially with your thoughts on it ^^
Warning(s): Implications of a toxic relationship between Victoria and her husband, the husband and concubine are left unnamed
Tumblr media
"I can't believe you'd do something so foolish…"
Victoria scowled, narrowing her eyes at the prince in front of her, with a large wound on his left forearm.
Malleus only bit his tongue, seething in pain."Would you- Stop doing that?" He demanded.
She rolled her eyes, holding the gold needle close to his face."Be lucky that it isn't made of silver, you stubborn prince. Besides, you shouldn't have dueled with my husband to begin with…"
"I did it to restore your honor."
"What honor did you have to restore? There was no need to do that for another man's wife."
He inhaled sharply but stared right at her.
"You were unhappy with how he flaunted his mistress. I was simply trying to help."
Victoria clicked her tongue."As the empress of the northern empire, you have no right to do such a thing as a foreign prince." She replied, close to finishing up the stitching of his wounds.
Malleus deadpanned at her and squinted his eyes."I have a right to restore a woman's honor if their husband impregnated another woman out of wedlock." He spat back.
After what seemed like an eternity, Victoria finished stitching his wound and glared at Malleus. And yet behind that glare was a woman in great pain from what her husband was putting her through.
"That woman is an official concubine. Her child may be illegitimate, but it will be the emperor's firstborn."
"Huh. You'd think that with someone like you around, the emperor would've had more than a dozen children." Malleus commented, putting his hand on her chin, which she quickly slapped away.
"Stop that. As the empress, I have no right to comment on what the emperor does with his mistress…" she trailed away, looking off to the side to frown, hoping that the fae prince wouldn't notice.
But he did. Much to her chagrin.
"My queen…."
"Don't. Just…. Don't call me that…"
She put the golden needle back into her sewing kit and crossed her arms. Refusing to meet his gaze.
Malleus's expression had softened. And his hand reached out as if to try and comfort her. To have her see him as someone she can use as a support system.
But he pulled his hand back, knowing that that was not what she wanted at the moment.
Several minutes had passed in that moment of silence, and Malleus couldn't help but be the one to break it.
"I…. I heard from lord Zenith."
Victoria winced, hoping that he isn't talking about what she thought he was talking about.
".... Heard what?"
"That his imperial majesty intends to divorce you."
She stood up, looking down at Malleus with one of the coldest stares she could muster up at that moment. The fire that came from the fireplace helped illuminate her aura, making her appear ethereal. Almost on the level of a deity.
".... My queen-"
"How dare you." She started, fists clenching in pent-up rage.
".... What?" His eyes went wide as he fell silent, allowing her to speak.
"How dare you make such…. Such an assumption. The emperor would- He would never dare divorce me! He…. He…"
She backed away, eyes stinging, likely on the brink of breaking down."He…. He wouldn't…" she muttered.
The way she said those words brought heartache to Malleus. And he quickly sprinted towards her when she fell to her knees with tears dripping down her face.
"He wouldn't… We…. We knew each other for so long…"
For a moment, Malleus hesitated to get closer to her. To touch her in her delicate silky nightgown with her hair in such an undone state.
But it didn't matter. Although he felt awkward, Malleus pulled the empress into a hug. Not too loose, but not too tight.
"It's… It's alright, my queen…"
Her head was resting on his shoulder, and he felt it quickly go damp. A sign that her tears were silent but prevalent.
"He's…. He's really going to divorce me for one woman… A woman he's known for a couple of months…"
Malleus clenched his jaw, feeling an even greater rage at the emperor for hurting a woman who didn't deserve it. His wife, nonetheless.
Which begged the question. Why did he hate this woman, when she didn't do anything to deserve such hatred?
Was it because she was the empress of a rival empire? Because her family was an enemy of his own?
Malleus didn't know. And he didn't want to know. At least not at that moment.
What was important to him was that the empress of the northern empire at least had a shoulder to cry on. To hell with the potentiality that someone could walk in on them in their warm embrace.
She pulled away, wiping away the snot from her nose and looking at the ground."His majesty… I overheard him telling that woman that he will divorce me… And make her his empress."
The shakiness and the sheer pain in just uttering such a simple sentence pained Malleus to no end. He cupped her face, and even he couldn't believe what he was going to say next.
"Then remarry with me."
Victoria's eyes went wide, and her mouth fell open for a while. Before she shook her head and pushed Malleus away from her in disbelief.
"Remarry? You know I can't do that. Much less to you."
"And why not? If the emperor of the northern empire can remarry with his concubine, surely the former empress can do the same."
"That's…. True, but I'll be looked down upon by my subjects. And they'll see me as a power-hungry woman who remarried a foreign prince because I couldn't handle being a divorced empress."
"Their opinions do not matter, my queen-"
"BUT THEY DO! THE PERCEPTION THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTHERN EMPIRE HAVE OF ME, REFLECTS ON HIS MAJESTY! THAT… THAT IS WHY I MUST STRIVE TO BE THE PERFECT EMPRESS."
Victoria stood up. But Malleus did just as quickly.
She breathed heavily, taking heavy breaths. In and out.
"My queen…."
"Why…"
Malleus pulled his hand back again, feeling conflicted and confused."What do you mean, my queen?" He asked, deep with concern.
Victoria looked to the side for a minute, before turning her attention back on Malleus.
"Why do you want me to marry you? You have nothing to gain by marrying a former empress."
Malleus crossed his arms, feeling awkward. But he answered her question either way. Not like he had a choice.
"You're… You're brilliant. You seemingly know everything when it comes to politics and you've brought down wars by negotiation alone. You're a brilliant empress, and would be given a warm welcome in the Briar valley."
She knew that wasn't the complete answer. It had to be.
"Tell me the truth."
"I am."
Victoria felt her nails sink into her skin while clenching her fists in frustration. It was a painful, yet masochistically euphoric kind of feeling.
"Just tell me. Before I use my ability on you."
"You wouldn't."
"I would."
Malleus scoffed, inching closer toward her. As if to try and challenge her to do it.
And she did.
She grabbed Malleus by his face and stared into his emerald eyes. Beautiful. Dangerous. Indescribable.
"Bless you, for speaking such truth. For your lies need to be revealed. Mirror mirror… Dispel their deceit."
After chanting the incantation, she took a deep breath before asking the question."Why do you wish for me to marry you?" She questioned, still staring deep into his eyes.
Almost instinctively, despite being deep in the effects of the incantation, Malleus pulled her closer to him before replying.
"Because I'm enchanted by you, my queen. And I'd like nothing more… Then to become your husband."
The effects of the incantation fell apart, and Malleus was back to his senses. Now finding himself holding Victoria, the empress of the northern empire, by her hips. And she was holding him by his face.
Her eyes were glass at that moment. She appeared shocked. Ghost-like.
But that didn't stop Malleus from finding her beautiful. More beautiful than any woman he's seen.
"You… Love me?"
A smile graced his face, holding one of her hands that was still cupping his face. Her eyes slowly returned from a haunting glass-like state, and back to the sapphire ones he had come to adore.
"I do… And it doesn't matter if our marriage was one of convenience."
He went on one knee and kissed her hand.
"... Because I'll find my way into your heart. One way or another. And I'll make sure you will be loved. More than what your husband could ever give you."
Victoria pursed her lips, tugging them and having them form a straight line. She didn't know what to say.
But she managed to utter the words, "Do you truly want me as your queen?" As she stared at him.
And when Malleus nodded slowly, Victoria had him stand up.
And she leaned her forehead against his own.
"Then I will become your queen."
It was out of convenience, yes. That was true.
But that didn't matter to Malleus. Nor did it matter to Victoria.
Because she knew he'd love her more than her husband could. To hell with that wretched man.
She'll be able to find her happiness now. Without anyone trying to take it from her.
❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀
"Oh!"
The two immediately pulled away when they caught sight of Ellis opening the door.
"Ah- Lady Ellis…" Victoria gave her an awkward nod of acknowledgment before looking away in embarrassment.
Malleus coughed awkwardly and quickly approached her.
"Why…. Are you awake at this hour?"
Ellis gave him a smirk."I could ask you the same thing, y'know." She joked, crossing her arms playfully.
He chuckled, gently patting her head. Before Ellis batted her eyelashes.
"Looks like you'll be a married man. Lucky you~" she teased, noticing his cheeks and the tips of his ears go warm.
"Stop that…"
"Not gonna. Not unless you invite me as the maid of honor!"
"Ellis-"
"Oh god…"
"You're not gonna hear the end of it, Malleus. Hehehe…"

One afternoon waltz
Oc(s): Victoria Shard, Zenith Devi(Mentioned)
Characters: Malleus Draconia, Vil Schoenheit(Mentioned)
Pairing: Victoria x Malleus
Synopsis: A little while after the fairy gala, Victoria went to Diasomnia to dance with Zen. But she encounters someone else.
Warning(s): Potentially ooc, it's implied that Victoria's stepped on Malleus's feet, Zen being a little shit even if he wasn't even in the oneshot, generally pure fluff for an angst-filled slowburn of a ship, not much of fairy gala other than a brief mention
[ Reblogs > Likes ]
{ Apologies for any out of character moments }
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♝•°•═════ஓ๑【 ♛ 】๑ஓ═════•°•♝
↳ Victoria's POV
Walking alone in the gardens of Diasomnia, a soft smile was gracing Victoria's face whilst she continued looking for her closest - most trusted - friend.
See, the fairy gala was quite an exhausting experience. No matter the opulence of its intricacies, Victoria couldn't help but have the sensation that it didn't reach the expectations she set for it.
Which was a given. Victoria's expectations were unexpectedly large, and she wasn't even all that surprised that she was somewhat underwhelmed by the gala.
Tsk… Vil was already a pain to put up with, but… Victoria allowed her thoughts to linger. She smiled, internally admitting that even though Diasomnia's dorm head is a pain in the ass to deal with, the intricacies in the design of the dorm didn't disappoint.
Her smile remained on her face for quite some time, actually. Walking around the gardens until she was able to find the meeting spot.
But when she did, her smile faded. And a face full of innocent fascination wrinkled in disgust.
꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷
Malleus Draconia awaited in the meeting place, not Zen. In a white and gold suit that coincidentally matched the dress, she was currently wearing, no less.
Holding in her anger, Victoria folded her arms over her chest, approaching him.
“Draconia,” she called, sounding just as unhappy as Malleus expected.
He narrowed his eyes at her in response, folding his arms as well. “Shard.”
Victoria inhaled, trying to keep herself together in Malleus's presence. “What are you doing here?” she questioned, and her act would've been convincing, had it not been for the subtle movements of her hands. Tightly gripping her arms.
“I could ask you the same thing,” and he did. “Zenith had informed me to arrive here, though I was unaware of the reasons behind the instruction. I didn't expect you to be here as well.”
Ignoring the second half of his sentence, just hearing words come out of his mouth made Victoria feel tempted to swallow arsenic. But that was until she processed what he said.
She ended up doing a double take. “Zen told you to go here?” Malleus's discreet nod was enough of an answer.
Victoria mentally cursed, making sure to confront Zen about this. And just by looking more intently at their surroundings, she came to a pretty quick conclusion about what he was trying to do: He was trying to bring her and Malleus together.
The scenery was beautiful, no doubt. But the way it had been prepared felt all too much like a makeshift outdoor ballroom.
This borders on being a makeshift wedding venue…. What is Zen trying to imply here? Victoria pondered for a moment, before shaking her head.
No, Zen wouldn't do something so ludicrous.
Instead of letting her thoughts linger there, she focused her attention entirely on Malleus. “I request for you to leave. At once.”
Malleus scoffed. “You wish for me to leave the dormitory I'm in charge of? Isn't that too demanding of you, Shard?”
Victoria grits her teeth, her scowl becoming all the more apparent.
“You know what I meant, Draconia.”
“I'm afraid I don't quite follow.”
“Is this your attempt at flirting? You're not quite good at it.”
Malleus smirked. “So you allow your thoughts to make that assumption?” he held Victoria's chin, so gently that she could barely feel his hand. “What, have I truly enchanted you in such a way?”
Eyes wide, Victoria swatted his hand away. “Don't be ridiculous!” she spat out, “Never in a million years would I think of something so… So… So radical.”
She turned around, her back facing him. “If you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way back to Pomefiore,” she said, beginning to walk away from him.
“Wait.”
She didn't know why, but she stopped in her tracks when he called out to her. Turning back to face him yet again, Victoria arched a brow.
“What?”
Malleus sucked in a breath, almost as if he couldn't believe what he was about to say next.
“We couldn't possibly let Zenith's efforts go to waste… Why don't we indulge in what he - most likely - would've wanted? If only for a little bit.”
The request was so simple, yet so unabashedly ridiculous in Victoria's eyes. She almost couldn't believe it was Malleus of all people to suggest it.
And yet, unbelievably so, she gave in.
Before walking to Malleus, Victoria eyed the vintage record player that sat on a small stool. Next to it, was a collection's worth of record CDs.
Just by looking at it, she knew it had to be one of three. One of Zen's.
She silently cursed at herself before making her way to the record player, swiftly picking up a CD, and watched as sound began emitting from the record player.
Standing up, her lips remained pursed when she extended her hand towards Malleus. He reluctantly took it, but it ended up being Victoria to guide his hands to their designated positions.
One hand intertwined with hers, while another was wrapped firmly around her waist.
The pace of their dance was slow, at best. But the longer they did, the more synchronous they became.
Malleus became acutely aware that Victoria wanted to take control of their waltz. And he let her.
The silence that accompanied the music was deafening. Yet Malleus thought it would be good to spark conversation.
“I'm guessing the fairy gala wasn't to your liking?” Victoria hummed, shaking her head in reply to his query.
“No,” she said. “It wasn't entirely disappointing, but I suppose I was expecting a bit more.”
Why she was telling him this was beyond her by that point. Although, she had to admit that it felt a little comforting to finally tell someone about how she felt about the fairy gala.
Malleus eyed the dress once more. “The materials of the dress are quite vintage. Did you make it yourself?”
Victoria looked off to the side, avoiding his gaze when she answered. “It's a repurposed wedding dress. One of my mother's, actually.”
“Given that she had no use for it anymore, she gave it to me.”
She looked back at him, and for once, Victoria couldn't quite understand the look on Malleus's face. Sure, he wasn't that easy to read, but even then, Victoria believed he was quite expressive.
But at that moment? She couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. His eyes were somewhat squinted, but there was an odd softness to them. One that she never would've guessed he'd use on her.
Upon realizing her confusion about her question, it was Malleus's turn to look off to the side just to avoid her gaze.
Their waltz continued from there. It went from awkward and stiff - with the occasional deliberate stepping of Malleus's feet - to something straight out of a fairytale.
She was a ballerina. And alongside her, he was her danseur. Completely in sync with her movements and making sure no stone was left unturned with each step.
Soon, their dancing came to a close.
Malleus let go of Victoria's waist, taking her arm with his and spinning her around before letting go and allowing her to spin solitarily, and ending it with a pose that truly resembled that of a ballerina.
They both looked into each other's eyes. A pair of emeralds looking into a set of sapphires, before their heads lowered whilst they bowed in respect to one another.
Victoria approached Malleus once more. And this time, it was his turn to wonder what she was thinking.
Ultimately, he - like Victoria moments before - didn't get an answer. All he got was the shake of a head, before she walked past him, their pinky fingers touching for even the shortest of seconds.
“.... Thank you, Draconia,” she spoke, finally. “For the dance.”
He didn't respond to her words until after she left. But even then, that blissful feeling never left, never truly fleeting.
“.... And I you, my lady.”

here, take this before this get overshadowed in my folders of wips
Tumblr media
lmao this is what happens when I'm too interested and excited for the dynamic-
They would do this. No doubt. Also thanks for the wip :3
Victoria would be on the level of pettiness where she'd purposefully step on his foot... Okay, she stomps on his feet, but still-
I feel like Malleus would just try and remained focused as she continuously stomps on his feet while still looking like fucking- Aphrodite or some shit ngl he'd probably be checking her out without even realizing he's checking her out
Given how everyone is VERY aware of how much they hate each other, it would definitely be surprising to see them dance together.
Would they try to outdo each other? YES.
But it looks less like they're trying to outshine the other and SOMEHOW looks like they're subtly flirting through the art of dance and it is making Zen WHEEZE to his heart's content-
He isn't gonna shut up about it once the event is over. At all. It's gonna irritate Victoria at some point, but she loves Zen too much to hate him-
All in all, 100/10 in terms of accuracy because Victoria can and WILL insult Malleus throughout the entirety of their dance.

Main Ship headcanons :DD
(Meaning the ones established in their profiles, not the oc x oc ones)
Edit: I forgot to add Claudette and Ambrosia, and I would like to apologize for that-
Tumblr media
Eclair x Malory
Eclair braided his hair every morning
High school sweethearts. Eclair went to an all girls fairy academy while Malory went to RSA
When they graduated, Malory proposed to Eclair, who immediately said yes
They didn't have trouble financially due to their wealthy families
Before they got married Malory would call Eclair "sweetheart" or "my starlight"
When they became newlyweds he called her "My sun" or "My Apollonia"
When Eclair brought up the idea to make scepter hall, Malory was incredibly supportive and helped her in every way he could
He hid secrets from her, but she never meddled into his business and vice versa
No cheating. Nada. Absolutely NONE. These two are loyal and meant it when they said til death do us part
Were considering having kids until it was revealed to them that Eclair's incapable of having any
Having almost lost hope, Eclair wished upon a star in hopes that her wishing fairy friends would help give her the child she and her husband wanted
And in the end, what she got in return was a healthy baby girl... And the disappearance of her husband
Knowing that his health was deteriorating at the seams, Eclair was aware that he couldn't have gone far
She searched high and low within every nook and cranny, and found nothing but the possibility of her husband being dead
And now all she feels when gazing upon the dorm of winter...
.... Is heartache
Victoria x Malleus
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Claudette x Ambrosia
'The sun and moon' of SHI
Claudette clings to her every time she's had a bad day
It makes Clark feel single and that brings a smile to Ambrosia's face
They didn't really know how to socialize with one another when they first met, so communication is very significant in their relationship
They almost never argue because of how well they communicate with one another
And even when they do argue? They comfort each other by holding hands, but not facing each other
It's kind of their own way to say 'I'm sorry'
Whenever one of them has to work overtime, they always bring a cup of their favorite drink alongside their favorite food
Claudette's is a matcha latte with honey-filled chocolates
While Ambrosia is a black coffee and mochi
Whoever made one of them cry will have hell rain all over them
No one's gonna make Claudette or Ambrosia cry without consequences-
Their dates are usually to some classy and aesthetically pleasing kind of café or restaurant
It's almost always Ambrosia treat, since she doesn't want Claudette to overspend on her
The only reason Claudette cried while watching mean girls is because Ambrosia didn't understand any of the references she made-
Back when their relationship just started, they wouldn't hear the end of it from Clark since he teased them relentlessly
To put it simply, their relationship and communication with one another is great
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Pre-romance
So much bickering
It is practically endless and the amount of fancy words they use may
And sexual tension
Lots of sexual tension. It feels unnatural how much tension there is the minute they're both in the same room
I can imagine that they'd send each other letters, but they're the least romantic thing ever and it's just filled with unnecessarily petty comments as a way to insult each other
Vic might be the type to actually get her hands dirty if Malleus takes her death threats seriously, but considering her history with bloodshed, she'd rather not
Oddly synchronized whenever they have to work together. They can't explain why, but they work oddly well together when it comes to things like combat, dancing, singing, etc.
I'd say the best part of this stage of their dynamic is how much they respect each other
Malleus may hate Victoria, but he still considers her his equal and is willing to challenge her in ways most wouldn't be able to
And the same thing applies to Victoria, who is also willing to challenge Malleus in ways others aren't able to do
They hate each other, but they respect one another just enough to see the other as genuine threats
Post-romance
When Victoria's reading, Malleus often rests his head on her lap as she reads since he finds her voice soothing
Similar to Azure x Carol(@fumikomiyasaki) except they hated each other before this
They remain unnaturally synchronized, but it feels less like a competition to outdo the other and more of a harmonious approach of expressing the passion they share for one another
Malleus wears things that were made by Victoria. I don't make the decisions here, it is CANON-
He'll regularly offer to model for her design concepts if Mercury, Camilla and Zen aren't available
Lots of gift giving on Malleus's part. Given that he's technically a dragon, I'd make the claim that he'd spoil his beloved rotten
Victoria expresses her love differently through quality time
They could just be in a room completely silent, but they'd still be able to enjoy each other's company despite it
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Frisk x Cater
Mutual pining. So much pining that it probably put Freyah to the brink of insanity at the idea that they'll take too long to confess
So being the good sister that she is, Freyah decided to help them by aggressively matchmaking them together
And while it did work out in the end, Freyah ended up creating a number of misunderstandings between the two ;-;
Cater has an entire album dedicated to Frisk and he always makes sure she looks breathtaking in every single one
Frisk is rather shy and due to the pressure she had from being an influencer in the past, Cater doesn't post much of their relationship for her sake even though he knew she was okay with it
Frisk is aware of Cater's disdain for sweets, and makes sure to take that into account when making him some snacks
She'll try and crack a few jokes, but then she'll slowly die of embarrassment when Cater starts to tease her for it
She usually stands behind Cater whenever they're together since she has a problem with socializing with others
{ Mentions of bullying }
Frisk has experienced bullying before, and Cater is quick to notice how she's very closed off when the subject is discussed in her presence
He won't confront her outright, but do his best to make her comfortable enough to tell him what happened to her
When Frisk admitted to him about her experiences, no one had seen Cater look so.... Angry
If her bullies were students in the school, Cater would offer to.... Do certain things to them on the internet
And by that I mean blackmail them about information he found after searching all over the net for any info on them
Obviously he ended up getting his suggestion politely declined, but Frisk knew that his intentions were for her sake
But other than that, communication between them is great and there aren't as many misunderstandings between them
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Grey x Leona
Leona comes from a kingdom that inhabits incredibly powerful and respectable women, so its only natural that he'd respect Grey for her perseverance
He respects her, and she him, but things are awkward and full of almost unnecessary tension because of one thing
Their arranged marriage
It was an agreement made by their parents and Leona's brother, king Farena, and one that the two didn't particularly feel comfortable with
The times where they were told to always be seen together in events was the thing that ticked Grey off
When Grey began attending NRC, Leona knew it was inevitable for her to challenge him for the role of dorm head
They didn't interact much after the aftermath, given their already awkward situation with their engagement
They'd soon settle on a hobby they both share
Sleeping.
Leona practically sleeps regularly and Grey often gets tired after sparring, so they'd usually go to one another's room and sleep there
There's nothing suggestive about that outside of the fact that they both sleep in each other's rooms
Oftentimes they sleep separately, but Leona unintentionally rests his head on Grey's chest while they're both lying down, but she doesn't necessarily mind and just let's him
Leona comments that Grey's chest is a very convenient pillow
Sleeping ends with unintentional cuddling
They both wake up pretending they weren't so close in proximity 💀
If Grey's lucky, Leona might wake up and spar with her-
There isn't much to say outside of the fact that they just need to realize that the cuddling they do isn't platonic.
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Nyx x Vil
(does not apply to the Villainess au interpretation of their relationship)
Nyx had always shown a keen interest in Vil, which set off her brothers a little because of their protective nature over her
But nonetheless, she managed to befriend Vil Schoenheit
At first they just had a couple brief conversations while they walked to class together, but now Vil finds time in his schedule to spend more time with Nyx outside of that
Though whenever Nyx shows up at Pomefiore, someone's bound to assume that they are in a romantic relationship
Victoria, Epel and Rook
But Vil always denied those claims and said that Nyx was just his friend
Adrien Agreste vibes out of Vil ngl💀
But then B O O M
He suddenly felt warm and fuzzy around Nyx
Well- He ALWAYS did he just never realized it until now-
It's kind of a she fell first he fell harder situation with these two
But it was Nyx who ended up confessing in the end
Because of Vil's reputation, Nyx was okay with keeping their relationship a secret but didn't necessarily mind being featured in a lot of his recent magicam posts
Naturally, Vil's fans wanted to know what kind of relationship they had, but Vil kept denying the claims that they were dating
Until he ended up slipping up and posted a picture of him and Nyx that revealed to everyone that they were dating
Given how vicious Vil's fans can get, Nyx definitely got a lotbit of hate from them
But then death threats came rushing in and it was inevitable for Nyx to start standing up for herself until Vil confronted his fans himself
When he did, they slowly began growing more fond of Nyx and they both allowed themselves to publicly show off their relationship
They mostly do the same things they did as friends for dates, but Vil got treated to a date in the monstro lounge thanks to Nyx not telling her brothers
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Lumina x Jamil
In Jamil and Lumina's case, they are the textbook definition of mutual pining
Moreso than Cater and Frisk, even
They both share a silent disdain for Kalim and would often rant to each other about it when they were alone
Kalim, ever oblivious to the distaste they shared, noticed the glint in their eyes whenever they interacted
Like something clicked between them
And because of that, Kalim decided to play matchmaker and gleefully make an attempt to get Jamil and Lumina together
As of now they're still in the pining stages, but only Lumina is somewhat aware that Jamil returns her affections for him
They are carrying Scarabia in the kitchen, their cooking is DIVINE
I think a couple of the students cried a bit-
When they were kids, Lumina would often wake up Jamil up in the middle of the night to stargaze, much to the chagrin of Jamil and his parents
When Lumina moved in with her aunt, Kalim and Jamil were incredibly supportive and were willing to help her pack her things
(Since she lived with Kalim after running away from home due to her father's neglect and alcoholism, he didn't even notice she was gone)
Even after she moved away, they kept in touch and remained close for many years
They dance together at night since most of Scarabia would've already been asleep
Lumina still wakes him up so they could stargaze and walk around the dorm
Occasional flirting between the two of them, specifically with Jamil giving her a playful smirk if she ever got flustered
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Azrail x Idia
Adorable together
Az often accompanies Idia's tablet around the school since he... Doesn't really attend classes in person-
Ortho loves the two of them together and is happy as long as Idia's happy, he even helps Az with his horticultural studies
Idia helps his boyfriend with his inventions for horticultural research
Let's just say that Az was a little.... Perplexed when he and Idia first met
He didn't really expect that the representative of his dorm was so.... Attractive Antisocial-
But he never judged Idia for his antisocial nature, since he decided to look at it through his perspective and quickly understood his reasons for acting the way he does
Dimitri isn't 100% keen on letting this relationship slide, given his protectiveness over Azrail. But as long as his little brother's happy, he's happy
Az doesn't have the same level of interest in anime and manga as his boyfriend, but he's supportive nonetheless and occasionally gifts him an exclusive copy of one of his favorite mangas
Don't ask him how he got them, you don't wanna know
Az was a little conflicted about Ortho at first, but he ended up growing attached to him when they started interacting more. Which relieved Idia since he was afraid they wouldn't get along-
Their dorm rooms are next to each other and Az unintentionally enters Idia's instead of his own when he's having a bad day
Idia didn't mind it though, he liked having his boyfriend's company either way
PDA is a big ol' no no for the two of them
Idia would be a little too anxious to even hold Az's hand in public, and Az doesn't find it relevant in a relationship that's built around privacy
Idia was the first person to witness Azrail cry putting on contact lenses, and he ended up wheezing himself unconscious
They order cup noodles in bulk when they're cooped up in their dorm rooms band don't want to get up and make food in the dorm's kitchen
When Az is away for something important like a family gathering, Idia secretly wears his turtlenecks since they happen to be similar in dress size
Azrail was FULLY ready to throw hands with a ghost when the ghost marriage event was in session
Man's was ready to start a cat fight with a ghost who wanted to marry his boyfriend-
Idia gave Az sound cancelling headphones that turns on the noise cancellation automatically and also allows him to detect when something's about to happen to him
Ortho also helped in making the headphones and Az typically uses them when he's writing down his notes in a loud classroom he was given permission by his professors to do that
Would watch the ghost stories dub and wheeze for the next couple of hours over the beef social media(specifically the TWST equivalent of Twitter and TikTok) has on the dub
✐ ✎_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_✐ ✎
Marylin x Lilia
(This ship is only implied, since no one actually knows if they're together or not)
Madam Monroe has known Lilia since their war days as veterans
Marylin would often joke with Lilia to hide her fear of the possibility of death, which he was very aware of
Lilia knew Marylin wanted freedom due to her upbringing, and decided to help her by using humor to help her cope
They'd train together and Marylin would mostly win by body slamming Lilia to the ground poor Lilia tbh
After their veteran days were over, they went their separate ways. Lilia began caring for Silver while Marylin began working at scepter hall
They did continue keeping in touch, and would regularly send letters and use magic in order to communicate
Silver's stumbled upon a couple of those letters and was completely flabbergasted by how flirtatious Lilia's words were. Though Lilia would confirm nor deny that he was not so subtly flirting with Marylin
Clark's met Lilia before and they instantly clicked, the former even going as far as to say Lilia got his blessing for their potential wedding-
Silver sees Marylin as the mother-figure he lacked in his childhood, and Marylin treats Silver like a son
Lilia makes frequent visits to scepter hall when he can, just so he can see his veteran buddy
When they have the time to, they'd spar like they used to whenever Lilia visits and vice versa
The two of them haven't confirmed nor have they denied any claims of a romantic relationship between them, and they only really watch the chaos unfold

Glorious Masquerade, crimson flames (1/???)
Summary: Victoria has been graciously invited to attend the symposium hosted by Noble Bell College in collaboration with Night Raven College. Unfortunately, it seems she has a couple adversaries attending, specifically a certain prince of thorns...
( This does not apply to any the main stories other than characters such as Victoria and Zen and the mention of other characters significant to main story plot points. )
Author's note: Did I wait until the event was practically finished to release this? Yes. But I also wanted to buy some time until I release Scepter hall's prologue ^^ I know it's the Christmas season and this event takes place in Halloween, but I couldn't help myself! Hopefully my writing isn't bad-
{ Apologies for any out of character moments }
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Victoria watched from the other side of the Pomefiore common room, eyeing Vil while he nagged at Epel and made sure he had packed what she can assume to be every single beauty product in the dorm.
She sighed, scrolling through her phone. I suppose it'll be a good experience for Felmier and Hunt. Victoria thought.
Noticing her lack of attention to the current situation, Vil let out a sigh and approached the prodigious alchemist."Victoria-san." He called out.
Victoria hummed, looking up at Vil, her phone still in her hands. But this time, she appeared more poised.
"What is it, Schoenheit?"
Vil narrowed his eyes."Due to Rook's temporary absence because of the symposium, I wish for you to take part in his duties as vice dorm head in his absence." He stated, and Victoria couldn't help but sigh in exasperation.
"I think you should understand that I'm not going to take part in those duties for Hunt, Schoenheit." Victoria put her phone away and merely crossed her arms and legs.
Vil's eyes widened, before they quickly squint in slight annoyance with Victoria's attitude towards him."And why is that?" He questioned, seemingly demanding an answer out of her.
Biting back a devious smirk, Victoria took an invitation out of her pocket and handed it to Vil, who quickly took it from her hands.
As he read the letter, he was…. Surprised? Perplexed? Infuriated? There seemed to be a lot on Vil's mind based on his expression at that moment. At least to Epel and Rook.
"U-Um… What is that letter, Vil-senpai?" Epel asked curiously, forcing out any signs of nervousness in his eyes. Rook raised an eyebrow with a curious smile.
Vil only gave the letter back to a very smug Victoria, and huffed in frustration at her current attitude."It seems your upperclassman is going to accompany you… In a way." Was what he said, before leaving the room to calm himself down.
Rook hummed softly, turning to Victoria."So it seems you're going to attend the symposium as well, Reine de miroirs?"
Her smug look faded back to her usual cold, yet expressionless face."Yes. But not to represent the academy, to represent my family. Noble bell personally invited me to represent the house of Shard, and I was allowed to bring someone with me." She explained.
Epel tilted his head in confusion."Eh? Then, couldn't you have taken Vil-senpai?" He wondered why she didn't consider bringing Vil so they could all go together.
But alas, Victoria wasn't attached to any of them."I already chose someone else, unfortunately for Vil." Victoria replied, walking out of the common room seemingly… Angry.
"Eh…. I wonder why she looked so upset." Epel commented while finishing up packing his things.
Rook chuckled, albeit rather awkwardly."I wonder as well. However as blunt as she may be, Reine de miroirs is rather secretive about certain things." Rook responded.
♜ ♛ ________________________________♛♜
Victoria slammed her bedroom door shut. She practically seethed in anger that she felt tempted to obliterate her bedroom.
But instead, she looked at her reflection in the vanity inside her room. Her eyes were tired, filled with frustration, and her jaw was clenched.
Victoria looked at the letter in her hands and gripped it tightly. If I was slightly more infuriated…. This letter would've been ripped to shreds. She thought in the silence that filled the room.
Suddenly, she heard a knocking sound coming from her balcony and flinched. As she swiftly whipped her head to the source of the sound, Victoria felt a sigh of relief.
"By the seven, you gave me quite the scare for a moment, Odile." She said as she welcomed the crow into her room.
In a flash, the crow transformed into a woman. The woman had eyes with the colors of a pearl, and wore a dark blue and white dress.
"Did you send him the second invitation?"
"Yes, my lady. The lord will arrive at the city of flowers at the same time as your mother and father."
Relief and satisfaction was what Odile saw in Victoria's expression. She didn't smile, but the look in her eyes said it all.
"Thank you… Please inform father that the dress I've designed has been completed and that the accessories I've been given by mother have arrived."
Odile bowed, her expression blank."Yes, my lady. I'm sure you'll be the most radiant in the symposium." Odile predicts, making Victoria giggle a bit.
"I'm not so sure about that, but if that's what you say… I'll do my best to reach those expectations of yours. You may leave." Victoria crossed her arms and looked at Odile.
The latter nodded reluctantly and shifted back to a crow. Victoria opened the balcony doors and Odile left as quickly as she entered.
Smiling to herself, Victoria exhaled calmly.
"Even if Draconia will also be attending… at least he will make it more entertaining."
