Thank You!!!

Thank you!!! 🥺

sORRY I'M WORKING ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT COHESIVE KALIM THOUGHTS AND IF I HAVE TIME I'LL DO IT TOMORROW

BUT I DECIDED TO WRITE AN ANGST FIC WITH ACE & DEUCE & GRIM

(THREE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS)

AND I'M GOING TO CRY WHY DID I DO THIS-

I JUST READ THE ANGST FIC AND AHSGSALDH IT'S SO GOOD (；∀； )

also, don't stress too much about the Kalim thoughts, and you certainly don't need to apologize! take care of yourself and what you need to do first; that's the top priority ♡

wait omgg they're both so cute TvT

Loki and Charles are both so cuddly - I absolutely LOVE it!!

like, HELLO??? ♡♡

also, this is just ashdjgklhsfjahgdlh

aaaaa Charles is such a caring man!!! (also, I know this is Charles' route, but I just love Faust so much!!! ♡ he's so serious, but so, so silly!!!)

oh my gosh. I am so tired and in so much pain. today was awesome but I am physically unable to can

hhhhh I'm manifesting good things happening in about 14 hours...

For the ask thingy...the free space one

what would be ur dream date if u could send an entire day w ....jade >>:)

okay... this took me a little to think about because there are both so many options, because it's an ENTIRE DAY, aaaaaaaaand because my brain turned into mush (*´◡`*)

it does depend on the time of year slightly, since hikes (should that be part of the date) are generally nicer when the weather isn't blisteringly hot, brutally cold, or wet and slippery.

HOWEVER, I'm going to go for something a little different here.

were I to spend an entire day with Jade, I think that I'd most want to start with a simple stroll around campus. just spending a little time together, walking, holding hands, and talking about whatever may come up. things about our days and what we may have coming up, our interests, our thoughts, the things we may observe. resting indoors or outdoors, in quiet spaces. I'd love to have a discussion at some point during the day specifically about one of his interests, spending time learning about what he likes directly from him. seeing his passion and happiness as he talks about something he enjoys, and doing the opposite as well, sharing one of my interests with him in turn. that is a fair balance, after all ^v^

later - with permission, obviously - we'd head into town and have lunch at a local café. we could try either familiar foods and drinks, or something new and unfamiliar. (or, knowing Jade's seemingly bottomless pit of a stomach, he'd most likely want to get both possible options!) we could do some people-watching while in town, too, which - as I've said before - is something I'm sure he'd enjoy!

in the afternoon, perhaps it would be nice to watch a film. it would be fun, a lovely way to spend time together, and also a good way to learn a bit more about how he thinks (I like to think he'd be the sort to comment on films as he watches them). it's also a perfect time to cuddle a little, if that's something that feels comfortable and natural to us (Jade is most certainly a touchy person, as am I, so that is a very likely occurrence)

ideally, we'd then cook dinner together - nothing too complex, but something still tasty, fresh, and pleasant. I'd love to see his cooking style, and see what it's like being in the kitchen with him, too. we'd eat dinner (hopefully not interrupted by a voracious Grim...) and afterwards, I'd walk him back to Octavinelle before saying good night with a kiss, on the hand, cheek, or lips ^^

overall: it would be a day we'd spend side-by-side, talking, learning about each other, and just... being together. nothing too dramatic. just a simple, somewhat domestic, comfortable day.

that would be my dream date day with Jade ♡

is it okay to request platonic angst of leaving twisted wonderland and saying goodbye to the adeuce duo and Grim? I didn't see if you had a character limit, but if you do, feel free to ignore this or just do it with grim

SUMMARY: The time has come for you to depart from Twisted Wonderland. But surely Ace, Deuce and Grim will hear from you soon, right…?

WARNINGS: This is sad I nearly cried

COMMENTS: oh my GOSH writing angst is hard ahahaha. I seriously teared up writing this. I’m not sure if this is exactly what you wanted, but this is the first thing my mind came up with. Sorry this took so long, and I hope you enjoy it!!

(also, because this made me sad, I wrote a part two that can be found here. I hope you don’t mind!)

“Are you sure this’ll work?” Deuce fretted, wringing his shirt so hard you thought it was going to rip. He’d finally stopped pacing, at least. Moving to face you, his eyes locked on to yours, searching for any hint of doubt.

“Seriously dude, that’s the seventh time you’ve asked that in the past twenty minutes.” Ace complained loudly from his position propped against the wall. “Can you stop acting like a mother hen for five minutes? You’re starting to make me anxious,” he added, muttering under his breath.

The three of you and Grim were standing in the Mirror Hall as you double and triple checked your luggage, which Grim was perched on top of. He’d been strangely quiet ever since Crowley had summoned the both of you to his office.

Crowley had calmly explained that he (in his generosity) had finally found a way for you to return home. Grim had congratulated you and helped you pack, just as the others had, but most times he just remained quiet. You figured this was him trying to be strong for you. The thought brought the sting of tears to your eyes. You hastily blinked them back. Now was not the time.

“It’ll be alright, don’t worry.” You looked up and gave your friends the most reassuring smile you could muster, despite the lump in your throat and the niggling doubts in the back of your mind. “Crowley gave me his word that this’d work.”

Three sets of mouths immediately fell open as Ace, Deuce and Grim stared at you in horror. Your grin widened as you enjoyed the moment, before deciding to put them out of their misery. “Relax you guys. I also checked with Malleus, Lilia, Idia and Ortho. All of them said that there is no reason they could think of that my phone should not still work in my world, as long as I can charge it. And I can.”

A collective sigh of relief flooded the room. Ace walked over and punched you lightly in the arm.

“Not funny, Prefect. That’s Deuce’s last clean shirt and you scared him so bad he almost ripped it in half just now.”

“Ah- hey! This isn’t my last clean shirt!” Deuce protested, rolling his eyes.

“Oh yeah?” Ace retorted. He crossed his arms and stared at Deuce, his eyes narrowing. “That’s weird. If that’s the case then why are there so many random clothes strewn across the floor of our dorm?”

“Those are yours!”

“Enough, guys.” You sighed, tired of their bickering. “This might be the last time we see each other face to face for a while. Do you really wanna spend it bickering about clothes?”

Both boys shared a glance and then sighed.

“You’re right. I’m sorry, Prefect. Sorry, Ace.” Deuce mumbled. He looked away, fidgeting with his jacket sleeve.

“It’s not your fault,” Ace sighed, “I’m the one who started it. My bad, you guys.”

“Ah, how nice to see three - ah, forgive me, two and a half - of my freshmen getting along so well! Surely this must have something to do with my excellent guidance as headmage, hm?” Crowley spoke suddenly, making the four of you jump. None of you had noticed him come in. The sight of him made your hopes soar and your heart sink.

It was time to go.

Ace opened his mouth and grumbled something that made Deuce stand on his foot. You had to repress a slight giggle as Ace glared at Deuce.

“Well then, shall we get cracking?” Crowley strode towards the Dark Mirror, evidently ignoring Ace and Deuce’s exchange.

Sharing a worried glance with your friends, the four of you made your way towards the Dark Mirror. Ace gently scooped Grim into his arms as Deuce grabbed your bag - you’d only needed one - and carried it to the mirror, which had begun to glow.

“If you’d like to say any last goodbyes, now would be the time. My, aren’t I generous for allowing you all a second last goodbye?” Crowley exclaimed as he got to work with the Mirror, which glowed ever brighter by the second.

You turned to face the others and Deuce immediately pulled you into a bone crushing hug. You readily accepted, wrapping your arms around him and giving him a tight squeeze.

“Come on guys, really?” Ace complained. Deuce immediately grabbed him and pulled him into the hug. He - and Grim, still sitting in his arms - didn’t resist.

“It- it’ll be okay.” You managed, hating how nervous you sounded. “Crowley and the others have said they’ll look for a way for me to come and visit. And- and I’ll be looking too, alright? So we’ll probably see each other soon.”

You pulled away from the hug just in time to see Ace and Deuce exchange worried glances. Then, looking back to you, they both nodded in sync.

Just as Grim burst into tears.

Scooping the cat from Ace’s arms you hugged him tight. Forcing hot tears away, you held him as long as you could, but all too soon a hand landed on your shoulder.

“It’s time.” Crowley spoke softly and gently - almost kindly.

“Don’t forget to text us as soon as you get through.” Deuce said. His eyes were red and his voice was full of emotion.

“Yeah, or else we’ll have to come looking for you.” Ace said with a smirk, gesturing to himself, Deuce and Grim, who was still sniffling. You could tell he was trying to be the strong one, as the other two were in tears.

You smiled at him - at all of them.

“Thank you guys. For everything.”

Ace’s smile faltered.

Turning around so you wouldn’t have to see them cry, you picked up your bags and stared at the mirror.

You didn’t want to leave.

Everyone had been so kind to you here. There had been ups and downs, but everything had seemed worth it. You were with people who’d walk to the ends of the land for you, and you would do the same for them.

You felt your resolve breaking. You couldn’t leave, you just couldn’t.

Digging deep for some scrap of resolve, you forced one foot in front of the other.

You didn’t look back.

♥Thank you for reading!! I hope you enjoyed it!!♥
