hot choc π
Like to make a mention to when this happened to me and is still ongoing for over 6 months now.
@thelazyhermits
Found their series "A twisted future" by LazyRainDancer on Ao3 while looking for Sebek Zigvolt one shots, many months ago.
First oneshot I found was actually "Finding solace (in your arms)", didn't realize it was a series until after I finished reading that one shot. I couldn't stop reading the second I started it.
Then finally noticed it was a part of a series. I got excited and saw SO MUCH Content. I squealed as I started the binge reading the content from the beginning of the series from then on, and was reading it on and off for months.
I have already caught up to the current ongoing content weeks/month ago, still on cloud nine enjoying it still.
It is my favorite twisted wonderland fanfic ever since I found it
Imagine you're opening AO3 and search for a fic. Imagine you're finding one that fits all your criterias. Imagine it has the perfect length. Imagine getting lost in the story and feeling almost high when it's over. Imagine looking up the author and they have written. so. many. more. fics. exactly. like. that. Imagine.
The easiest way to find Sebek is to walk around the Night Raven campus, going "where's my Sebek?"
It elicits odd stares and plenty of snickers from the other students, but it gets the job done. You'll know when he's nearby. After repeating this phrase enough times and in multiple places around campus, you'll hear a familiar thundering cry.
"I am not your Sebek!"
The shout is eventually followed by the man himself. You can tell what direction he's in by the heavy stomps, thudding against the ground almost as loud as his voice. His frown is as sharp as his furrowed brows. The slight tinge of embarrassment colors his face.
"Human! How dare you..."
The familiar face makes you smile with joy. "There you are! There's my Sebek."
He falters. It's clear he has so much to say, but can't find the right words to get out first. They pile up in his mouth while he stammers. You fear you may have traumatized him until the verbal barrage bursts out like a dam.
"How dare you! You know I serve none other than the great heir to Briar Valley. To even imply that I am yours? A mere human's? Inconceivable! Your absurdity knows no bounds!"
He sounds as energetic as ever. You decide to interrupt the angry monologue before he really gets going.
"Sebek, I wanted to know if we're still having lunch together."
"To insult the very essence of my being! As if you..."
It takes a hot second for your inquiry to reach his ears, but when he catches it, the rambling drifts off. He grows oddly quiet. He balls his hands into fists and unclenches them several times in quick succession, testing the limits of his uniform gloves. This would already have delved into a physical fight if you were any other student.
Despite your inane actions, you're practically harmless. Any great guard should easily be able to ignore petty taunts. It's best to consider this a test. Sebek clears his throat.
"Of course we are. You didn't have to come find me just for that. I always keep my word." The redness of his ear tips peeking out from under his hair remind you of a Christmas tree.
"Great! Can't wait."
You stick out your hand for a parting high five. Sebek subverts expectations by grabbing your palm. His gloves are warm and a little sweaty after rushing to find you, and his grip is anything but soft in a boyish display of dominance.
"Do not do this again," he says. He's stern, but after that warning his voice drops to a normal level and he sounds almost gentle. "Just... text me, like a normal person. You have my number."
Intro, part one,
In which Aria is missing and the Heartslabyul duo finds out she has disappeared and looks for her.
It was supposed to be just another night at NRC. Ace and Deuce sleeping at their dorm room with two other freshmen.
Ace got up from bed and couldn't sleep.
So, he decided to walk around the dorm, possibly headed to see if he could get a snack. While passing the hallways he hears someone shout in distress. It sounded like Aria; it was even coming in the direction of her dorm room. Ace didn't like the sound of that and rushed to her door.
Nothing, there was no more noise besides his hurried footsteps. Ace slowed down and made it to her bedroom door. Was she in trouble or just spooked by a pranking dorm mate.
He hesitated by the door.
'Ah, What the hell' he thought as he decided he would at least check to see if she's okay. If Aria wasn't in trouble, he could just play it off no sweat, he was up already regardless.
Ace knocked on Aria's door.
No answer
"Aria you there?"
No answer
He waited another minute.
Then he got tired of waiting and went inside. Didn't take him long to notice Aria wasn't there, her blankets tossed over a bit and her bedsheets a mess.
Aria clearly was using the bed earlier tonight. Ace was gonna text Aria next but then noticed she left her phone on her nightstand.
Ah shit
Aria had vanished and even left her phone behind.
Ace tried to recall what he heard Aria shout.
Panic sets in.
She had shouted "let me go!"
Ace left the room and tried looking for signs of a struggle outside of the room.
Nothing
'Maybe they knocked Aria out? Ugh this wasn't good at all.' Ace thought.
Ace searched around the dorm some more before taking a break in his dorm room exhausted.
What did Aria do that led to getting kidnapped?
But more importantly who dare kidnap Aria?
He grumbled again.
After over an hour of searching Ace has had it. However, he can't bring himself to end his search either despite running himself ragged internally while maintaining an air of nonchalance outwardly.
He has decided he can't suffer thru this alone as he returns to his room and proceeds to shake Deuce away.
"Huh what Ace!? what's going on?"
"I need it help finding Aria and deal with whoever took her" Ace stated
"Uh sure, do u see where she went?" Deuce asked
"No I didn't, if I did I wouldn't have bothered getting you to join me in finding her"
"oh. Any leads on where she could be?"
Ace groans and just tells him all he knew between hearing her shout "let me go" to someone, seeing the messy bed and the fact Aria's cell phone was left behind in her room.
Deuce paled upon hearing the news. Aria has been kidnapped and held against her will who knows where. He for sure isn't hesitating on lending a hand to go find Aria and beat her kidnapers till their faces are an unrecognizable bloody mess.
Deuce, once Ace finished telling him what he knew about Aria's disappearance rushed off to search all of Heartslabyul.
Ace runs after him, calling him a moron and a blockhead.
Thus the search for Aria continues.

never mind i found the draft i thought i lost. It accidentally posted but i didn't see or noticed it at first until after someone liked the post XD
so, i first copy what accidentally posted back into the drafts (and saved it) before deleting the one that accidentally got posted. imma save a backup on word document just in case.
At least i dont have to start over from scratch now. definitely need to take that break tho regardless.
Turns out I'm really in an art kick the past few days huh.
So yeah I've updated Sian's and Yuzu's Bio to have these drawings in them instead of the old drawings I had in them.
Don't worry imma repost the old drawings in a sec for those who liked the old ones.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also have this detailed drawing of one of Sian's wings. (both wings have the same design its just flipped btw the two)
