Trick or Treat~!

Pairing: Che'nya x Floyd (could be read platonically or romantically)

Summary: It's finally Halloween night, but Floyd is in a bit of a slump. However, the arrival of a curious companion may just make the Halloween party a bit more interesting for him.

Notes: This is my first attempt at something following a prompt - specifically, "Trick or Treat" for the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. I'm trying to get more comfortable/practiced with writing prose (which is why this wasn't posted on the 30th... oops), and only vaguely ended up following the prompt. I'm fairly happy with how this little piece turned out, though!

Floyd wanted to take a break. 

It was Halloween, and all he had done the entire week was work, work, work. Getting costumes ready, decorating, helping with their dorm's presentation, plus cooking and serving at the Lounge, all on top of normal classes? 

Sure, it was fun, especially getting to show off Octavinelle's cool setup, and 'taking care of' those misbehaving visitors. But now? Everything felt draining and boring, and Floyd simply wanted to leave, which sucked because the actual Halloween party had just started!  

Maybe he should just ditch and go back to his dorm; being in a funk when everyone else is having fun around you is not enjoyable.  He slumped down on a bench and unwrapped a sweet he had picked up earlier, before wrapping it up again. Ugh, not even in the mood for that candy he wanted only a few minutes ago. 

As he shoved the sweet back into his pocket and was about to get up from the bench to leave, Floyd heard a rustle behind him. Someone was quietly humming, and… laughing? The sound gradually moved to his side, towards the empty side of the bench.  

“Trick or treat~”

Floyd turned to face the voice. "Listen, man, I'm not in the mood to—” he froze, staring at the figure beside him. “Hang on a second, where's your body!?"

A toothy smile came to the face of the head that currently floated beside Floyd. "Oh, it's here.... or maybe it's there." A pair of hands materialized on either side of this boy's head, followed by the rest of his body. 

“I'm just kidding. Mind if I take a seat? I’d like to rest up before I keep purrowling around and startling people.”

Floyd blinked, then raised an eyebrow. “Uh, go for it.” 

This guy was... weird, and it was hard to tell if he'd be annoying, or interesting. "You don't go here, do ya? At least, I’ve never seen you before. And you’re no ghost, either.”

The cat-like boy shook his head, his jewellery jingling softly. "I'm just passing through for the festivities and collecting treats. Scaring some people, too. That’s loads of fun. And it's always nice to see my friends let loose." 

Floyd had a vague memory surface. "Ohh... you must be that RSA boy who's friends with Sea Turtle and Goldfishie." 

"'Sea Turtle' and 'Goldfishie', hey? Those are good names for my green and red friends. Cats are known for liking fish." He leaned forward, his grin growing. “Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Floyd nodded, “Floyd Leech. It's nice to meet you, too.” He looked curiously at the boy beside him, taking in his shaggy hair, piercings, and impish smile.

"You're not what I expected.” Floyd smiled, "But you seem fun, Catfish. I didn't think Goldfishie would get along with someone so... interesting."

Che'nya's eyes lit up slightly. "Catfish? Heh heh heh, most people call me Che'nya, but I guess that works. And I’ve heard some… interesting stories about you, too."

He stretched his legs out in front of him, leaning back with his arms behind his head as he sighed. "But yeah, I don't think Riddle could shake me if he tried." 

"I'm almost jealous." Floyd tipped his head slightly. "Most of the time, Goldfishie likes to swim away before I can play with him."

Che'nya laughed, "Well, if you're wondering, he 'swam off' that way." He pointed off to the side. “Just don’t be rough with him. I don’t like people mistreating my friends.”

Floyd looked off into the crowd where he had pointed, and let out a small laugh. “Alright, good to know. Maybe I’ll find him later, if I feel like it”, he smiled and sat back. “And Goldfishie’s stronger than he looks, but I guess you’d know that.”

Che’nya nodded, then leaned closer with a mischievous glint in his eye. "You know, I bet we could do something that would really surprise him.” 

Floyd turned slightly towards Che’nya, and flashed a smile. “Yeah, we probably could. I think we should talk more in the future, Catfish. You seem pretty fun.” 

Che’nya grinned, “You seem pretty fun, too.”

"Well,” he stretched his arms above his head. “I think I’m going to go and find some more treats… and play some more tricks tonight. I'll catch you around, Floyd." 

With a haunting giggle echoing in his ears, Floyd watched as the boy beside him faded into nothingness, just the same way he had arrived. 

What a weird guy.

Floyd unwrapped the candy he had pocketed earlier, then popped it into his mouth. Maybe this party was worth staying at after all.

I think they fit? #and I have no idea is this feels at all natural or in character for either Che'nya or Floyd... but there was an attempt :) #I need to practice writing more stuff like this #I also went through about 4 different possible ways their conversation could have gone before getting this down #here... it's almost like Che'nya's taking a break from tricking AND treating at the NRC Halloween party #that's how I'm saying the prompt applies at least #anywho... I GOT IT FINISHED! I WROTE A THING!! #and I'm going to write more. that IS a threat ^v^

TWST Rarepair Halloween 2023

Cursed Objects/ Dark Yearning/ Overblot

(a brilliant idea by @mysaldate 💖)

#this took SO LONG #i love how it turned out!! #twst rarepair halloween

[riddlerosehearts]

i know it's past halloween when i'm posting this, but as a vildia shipper i've been thinking a lot about what vil and idia would do together for halloween--ignoring the existence of the halloween event that we already have--and since i imagine them getting together post-book 6, when ortho has joined the film club and idia is trying to be a better brother to him and be less of a shut-in overall, i think it's a lot of fun to imagine the two of them taking him trick-or-treating!!

i think ortho has tried to get idia to take him trick-or-treating before, but every year idia always says no because he thinks going around to a bunch of rando's houses to get candy is scary, lame, and pointless (they can literally just buy candy at the store, after all!) and he has too many special halloween events to play in his video games anyway. so one day during a film club meeting a few weeks before halloween, ortho offhandedly mentions this, saying he's always wished idia would take him trick-or-treating, and vil decides to talk to idia about it. it actually doesn't take much for idia to agree that yes, it is wrong of him to stay in his room all day when his little brother wants to spend time with him on a holiday, and he absolutely should do it this year, no matter how nervous the thought of it makes him.

he asks vil to come with them, and vil initially says no because as much as he enjoys the aesthetic of halloween, he has a certain reputation and image as a celebrity that does not include doing such childish activities at the age of 18. but idia gets him to change his mind by convincing him that, actually, a lot of his fans would love to see photos and videos of him taking a little kid trick-or-treating because it would be gap moe! a term which vil understands without explanation thanks to idia--and he can see how such a thing just might actually be good for his image, simply by making him seem less otherworldly and unrelatable. so, he agrees, and the three of them spend the next several weeks trying to make their costumes absolutely perfect.

they really go all out, and they have a ton of fun with it. idia's costume has a mask that he keeps on at pretty much all times, so that keeps him from being nearly as nervous as he thought he'd be... except for when ortho gets so excited that he tries to just blast off from house to house without him or vil. but, he and vil both are incredibly happy to see that ortho is so happy, and throughout the night idia's ego gets inflated from all the compliments the three of them get on their costumes, and he and vil constantly exchange snarky comments under their breath about the quality and craftsmanship, or lack thereof, of the costumes and decorations they come across. they collect tons of candy and idia makes sure to add a special attachment to ortho's gear to allow him to actually eat it. vil started thinking he was too old for trick-or-treating a long time ago, but he ends up being pretty glad he went, especially when he sees all of the positive reactions from his fans on magicam.

i also think that before and after the trick-or-treating, ortho would hang out and do halloween stuff with his fellow first years while idia and vil take some time for themselves! the first thing they would do is that idia would introduce vil to one of his favorite survival horror video games, one that has a 2-player co-op mode, and vil might take a bit to get the hang of it but would ultimately really enjoy playing the game with idia.

later at night, they cuddle up and have a bit of a halloween movie marathon. based on idia's love of pumpkin hollow, he's definitely into horror movies, and i also think vil is as well, since he was directing a gothic horror for the film club in silver's PE uniform vignette and then based pomefiore's halloween costumes on gothic horror aesthetics. so, vil would get idia to watch his favorite classic gothic horror film, idia would force vil to watch pumpkin hollow (which vil did not think he would enjoy based on idia's description of its story, but by the end, while he still found it a bit silly, he was able to admire its craftsmanship and creativity and see why idia loved it so much), and then they decide to wind down and watch something more lighthearted. they pick howl's moving castle and idia compares howl to vil several times during the movie, which vil briefly gets annoyed by but then uses as an opportunity to tease idia back.

#twisted wonderland #twst #vil schoenheit #idia shroud #vildia #vilidia #idiavil #vil x idia #idia x vil #sorry for all the tags lmao. twst ship names are a bit of a mess and on top of that this one is a rarepair #BUT. tbh i have no idea what halloween on the island of woe is like or if we have any information on that in canon?? #but at the very least--even if ortho and idia went trick or treating as little kids they DEFINITELY never did it again after OG ortho died #also the thought of these two watching howl's moving castle together is unreasonably funny to me i'm sorry #idia: a super hot and super scary mage who steals pretty girls' hearts? sounds a lot like you LOL #vil getting VERY close to idia: hm. then YOU must the lovely young thing whose heart i'm planning on taking next. #idia: trying to stop his entire head from turning pink #they get to the scene where howl throws a tantrum and says there's no point in living if he can't be beautiful #just because his hair accidentally got turned orange #and idia goes 'LMAO wow babe he's just like you fr' #vil: wow and you're just like calcifer! you're both fiery and lovably obnoxious <3 #okay. anyway. EVERY TIME i make a post about this ship it's already longer than originally planned and then i add more in the tags #so i'll stop it here

Tempting, Tempting

Prompt: Take A Bite (twst rarepair halloween 2023, 11/03)

Pairing: Lilia/Divus

Rating: high Teen

Warnings: is it still student/teacher if the student is centuries older then the teacher?; also very MILD book 7 spoiler, blood drinking

Lilia is fine. (He very much is not.)

⁂

His mouth is dry.

It tastes of ash and decay.

He is hungry, hungry in a way that grows with each day, a thirst that leaves his magic slipping through his fingers even as it eats away at him from the inside out.

There is food everywhere, fresh, young, but he has sworn to never feed from the children so long as he stands by his ward’s side.

Temptation is on all sides, strong and potent, fangs digging into his lip as he resists; the blood that spills from them is a thick ichor, acid on his tongue and bile in his throat.

“Vanrouge.”

Lilia Vanrouge startles from his thoughts at the voice, turning towards it’s owner. “Crewel-sensei,” he says, forcing a smile. his mouth is dry

Divus Crewel narrows steely eyes at him, pointer rapping against one palm in an agitation that refuses to show on the man’s face. “...Stay after, Vanrouge.”

“Of course!” the rush in his ears is deafening

The chatter of the other students sweeps in around Lilia tempting, tempting, sweet and strong as he turns back towards his project.

his mouth is dry

The rest of the class seems to crawl by, minutes clawed forward one by one. 

Finally Crewel dismisses the rest once everything is straightened and cleaned to his high standards. Lilia remains beside his own cauldron the rush narrows down to one, singular, point as the instructor flicks his own pointer at the door, shutting it.

“You wished to speak with me, sensei?”

Crewel leans back against his desk, arms folded as he studies Lilia. “How long has your blood lust been this bad?”

Tempting, tempting, take and feed

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Lilia says with empty innocence.

“Don’t play coy Vanrouge,” Crewel says, reaching down beside him to palm something off the desktop. “We teachers were warned of your… peculiarities when you and Draconia first arrived at the school; the Headmage gave us his assurances that you would abide by your word, but I felt it prudent to look into what it might look like should a vampiric fae be slipping towards blood lust.”

“I assure you I am no-” Lilia cuts himself off with a hiss as Crewel swipes whatever is in his hand against one cheek

crimson against the pale, a stain that blooms bright across his tongue and

Lilia flips himself back, fingers grasping and gouging the edge on one cauldron as he tries to keep himself from returning to that ruby gleam, eyes narrowed to that line of ruby and the taste of something sweeter then honey upon his lips.

“How dare,” he grits out, fangs aching to pierce deep, drink his fill.

“Proving a point, Vanrouge,” Crewel says as he drops the pen knife that he’d scored his skin with back on the desk. “You’re at a breaking point.”

“I can handle this.” I will handle this. tempting, tempting, stain white with red “I swore to not feed and I will not break that.”

“You swore to not feed on the children,” grates in his ears, eyes catching on blood hued leather as Crewel tugs his tie loose, “but what of a willing adult?”

Lilia swallows, tastes that brief temptation wash over his tongue once again, as he watches buttons come undone and a pale expanse of neck bared as Crewel tugs his collar open. He shouldn’t he knows. rush and beckon and nectar on his tongue Even as he loosens his fingers from the cauldron. tempting, tempting, warm and filling Even as he steps close, crowding the other man against the desk.

Even as Crewel shifts to sit on the edge, even as Lilia crawls up, straddling the other man’s thighs.

Even as Lilia sets his mouth to an offered neck, pulse a tempo of temptation against his lips.

Even as he sinks his fangs into willing flesh, warm torrent spilling across his tongue and pain-pleasured sound like a symphony in his ears.

He drinks till his mouth is no longer dry, till a spark of magic dances like fairy lights along his nerves.

Finally Lilia pulls himself away, lapping at the weeping puncture wounds, savoring the last little taste he’ll allow himself to have. There’s a temptation to drink till his offer is drained, but he buries that.

“Better?” The voice in his ear is faint, strained, and Lilia winces.

“I took too much.”

There’s a huff of a laugh, breath hot across Lilia’s skin. “I’ll live. I trust it won’t go quite this far next time.”

That phrase lays heavy in the air.

“If you’re that eager to be my little treat,” Lilia teases after a long moment. “It would be rude to turn down something with such a decadent taste.”

Thorns

Pairing: Malleus x Riddle Notes: This is for the fifth day's prompt ("Thorns") of the 2023 TWST Rarepair Halloween event. This is LATE, but is getting posted. It's also only... vaguely about them, being more of a general poem reflecting two similar, but opposing individuals. Tags:@haruhar-u,@cheezy-moon, @thehollowwriter, @whspermy-name, @inkybloom-luv, @eynnwwyjth, @officialdaydreamer00, @xxoomiii, @red-viewe and @shortstorylover

Both different, yet connected; closely tied. Secluded wither, but supported, thrive. With feelings neither one could ever hide, Together, rose and blackthorn feel alive.

They cling, and twist, and grow in in their own way: The blackthorn takes his time, he ripens slow, The rose, instead grows fast, then wilts away. A balance - summer's heat, and winter's snow.

Both sharp and fierce, though softness also lies Within; a berry dark, a flower red. Their thorns and prickles choke, but too, growthwise, Protect. Their love not harsh, but sweet instead.

Two lovely boys, just like the flora strong, Root in each other's hearts, their whole lives' long.
