"YOU DAMN FOOLISH HUMAN!!!"

Sebek's voice

Sebek's Voice

tw - suicide attempt, suggestive paragraph, Prefect is unstable, Sebek is angry

- I had made a more lighthearted version, but decided to change it. - I don't think it is truly x reader, more like x oc, but it is still a prefect and still a part of my series.

It's been raining for three days already.

But today, the weather decided to go all out - a full-blown storm. Trees bent under the howling wind, rain swallowed everything in sight. It was too much for November, you thought. Luckily, you didn't have any outdoor lectures today, and the lightning started right after you reached the main building.

Speaking of lightning...

Now that you think about it, the quarrel was so stupid. You can't even remember what exactly started it. Words flew back and forth, escalating until, somehow, it's been more than two weeks since you and Sebek last spoke.

You know it was your fault. You know you overreacted, said too much, maybe. But you were just so tired, so overwhelmed. So much had been happening, and... you should have chosen your words more carefully. But it's too late now.

Everything is hazy from that day, except for Sebek's voice. It was raw - cracking, even though he was almost shouting, more than usual. You remember the sound of that pain clearly.

And it's all you have now. 

Only now, with his booming voice gone from your daily life, you realize how empty it feels around you. Sure, you hear him in the corridors sometimes, calling out to Malleus, or in the cafeteria while you eat.

But none of it is directed at you. Since the day you became... more than friends, you'd claimed his shouts, his "human!" as something reserved just for you. His yelling was yours. His scolding was yours. His huffs were yours. His worried reprimands were yours, and yours alone.

And now, you've ruined it.

Both of you are too proud to apologize first, so you dwell in the silence that stretches between you now. It's not like you don't hear him - it's that you don't feel it anymore. Without him speaking to you, it's as if you've gone deaf. Ace and Deuce have to call your name more than once to drag you out of this limbo, but it doesn't matter. What's the point of listening to the world if you can't hear his voice?

Loud or quiet, harsh or gentle - Sebek's voice always made you feel something. Calm, safe, shattered, mad, confident, soft, light, warm...

When you were sobbing in your ramshackle bedroom, his voice dragged you back to reality. When you were down, surrounded by darkness in your head, his thunderous tone jolted you like lightning, forcing you to pull yourself together. When you hesitated because of past failures, his shouts were the push you needed to act without fear. 

Sebek's loud presence took away all fear in your life. Of sounds, of memories, of love, of yourself. 

Because of Sebek, you also stopped being afraid of storms. Thunderstorms used to bring back sounds you'd rather forget, but Sebek changed that. Now, you crave the clash of thunder and the flash of lightning because they remind you of him.

The way he speaks, the way he yells, the way he scolds you... his voice is louder than any storm, and it's become your favorite sound. 

It echoes in the walls of your mind, crawls under your skin, blankets your thoughts in a haze of rain and static, and resonates all over inside out. When he comes for another scold, going on and on, coming closer and closer, and becoming quieter and quieter - words dropping from a roar to a murmur until all you can hear are the breaths you share in the dark, intertwining until you can't differentiate between your moans and his, merging in a symphony of sounds shared only between you-

"Louder. I can't hear you."

A sudden clash jolts you out of your daze. You blink, realizing you've dozed off on the couch in the Ramshackle lounge, a book - which Sebek lent you - almost falling from your lap. For a split second, you thought you heard him, but it was just thunder. It's raining again. 

You sit up, the book slipping from your fingers as you clutch your head.

"Not you. Again." you whisper, not noticing the tears slipping down your cheeks. You stare blankly out the window as the lightning streaks across the sky.

"Still not you. You're brighter. Louder."

Sebek is brighter than any lightning, louder than any thunder. What is this mockery? Like you don't deserve to hear the real thing - your Sebek - just these dim imitations...

"Pathetic human" you imagine Sebek would say. And he'd be right.

You don't want it to be a text, so you record a voice message.

"I love you. I'm sorry."

You can't hear his voice, but at least he can hear yours - one last time.

Sebek's Voice

The storm only gets worse, but you're glad. The noise means no one will notice, not for a while. From where you stand on the roof of NRC, you can see the whole campus spread out like a map below you. A few months ago, Malleus showed you this hidden spot - tucked behind the gargoyles, yet easily accessible - so you could admire them together. You never thought you'd be here now, misusing this knowledge in the worst way.

"What am I doing wrong?" you whisper into the rain.

"Please, shout at me like you always do. Wake me up with your thunderous roar. Call me an insolent human, make me ashamed of myself... like I should be.

Say something....please...I want to hear you...I need to hear you again.

I need to hear your voice.

You are my voice of reason.

You have always been my voice of reason, my sound of hope... 

Please. Seb. Please."

Nothing.

Well, then - into the silence you go.

You take a step forw-

"YOU DAMN FOOLISH HUMAN!!!"

Green lightning fills your vision, a deafening roar shakes the world. Your vision goes white, and before you can react, strong arms wrap around you, squeezing so tightly you can't breathe. Everything is a blur, your senses reeling from the storm's chaos and the rage vibrating in his voice.

"I'M TALKING TO YOU! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! LOOK AT ME! I SAID LOOK AT ME!"

His voice sounds so close yet so far, you can feel his breath on your skin. You try to reach him with your hand but-

"Sebek..." is all you manage before darkness pulls you under.

Sebek's Voice

You wake in your room at Ramshackle, body trembling with cold. How long had you been standing there, soaked? It doesn't matter. You turn your head, seeing Sebek at your bedside, fury and worry twisting his face.

"Woke up already?" he snaps, voice low and angry. Really angry.

But he's here. He's with you. He's talking to you. It's all that matters.

"Sebek...I'm sorry..."

"YOU BETTER BE!" he thunders, the force of his voice filling the room.

"You'd better have a damn good explanation, or I'll make sure you don't move without my supervision for the rest of your life!" he hisses, quieter but no less angry.

"It was stupid. I'm sorry for making you worry..."

"LIKE YOU SHOULD BE!" he yells again, and you can see it now, the fear beneath the anger. You're such a fool.

"Prepare yourself for a long lecture, you hear me?!" he demands.

Without thinking, you get up and reach for him, pulling him into a tight embrace, face buried against his neck.

"Yes. Yes, I can hear you. And I want to hear that lecture. Please. 

I love hearing your voice."

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."

I think I changed my mind on posting one of the 3 posts I mentioned I'd post today. So yeah I might be done posting for tonight. Just wanted to keep ya informed.

Also you might've noticed how most of the posts the past few days being centered around my oc Aria.

I've just been in the zone for writing about my OC Aria specifically these past few days, that's why majority of the posts recently are about her.

It's also why I've been posting a lot lately but at the same time it's not much variety. I just was in the zone for writing a specific character.

Hopefully I'll get in the mood/zone to write like crazy for my other twisted wonderland ocs soon.

Aria Whitecourt backstory

Timeline 2

Spoiler warning for Book 6 content of Twisted wonderland under the read more cut.

Aria was born in the Queendom of Roses, and her childhood was spent in clocktown. She lived alone with just her mother, and they had relatives living nearby. She lived a block away from Deuce.

Ms. Whitecourt and Ms. Spade used to be coworkers for a bit before Aria's mom got another job nearby, but they still met up and had their kids play together as friends. So, Aria and Deuce were childhood friends. Aria is 2 years older than Deuce.

📌 (differences in timeline start here)

Around 13-14 years old Aria accidently uses her teleportation magic on instinct from getting spooked/startled by something or someone and ended up in another world, one without magic. This occurs right before or at the beginning of Deuce's delinquent phase.

Upon waking up in the magic less world she quickly realizes she is unable to teleport back to Twisted wonderland. Leading to her getting sent to the nearest orphanage lost and stuck in this unfamiliar world until the NRC carriage comes for her years later.

It doesn't take long before Aria gets adopted by a sweet elderly couple who encourages Aria to make friends and get outside the house. Aria usually prefers to stay by them and help them out with chores and tends to the garden.

Aria Whitecourt Backstory

Two years later Aria ends up at NRC at age 16. She wakes up at NRC during Trey and Cater's entrance ceremony, no Grim fiasco occurs during said ceremony. During this timeline Aria is a fellow Junior alongside Trey and Cater.

Time to reveal who Aria is related to in the twst cast.

Lilia had a fling/stated temporary relationship with Ms. Whitecourt for the duration of his vacation trip at the Queendom of Roses prior to adopting Silver. Lilia left the area before Ms Whitecourt found out she was pregnant.

I can see Lilia being vague and not giving much info about himself to Aria's mother, since he wasn't planning to interact with them or visit them again after his vacation/trip ends.

I think Lilia finds out Aria is his biological daughter he never knew he had, mid to end of his freshmen year with Malleus. However, I can also see Lilia not informing Aria of his revelation and keeping her in the dark about this whole thing, continuing to hanging out with her, until eventually Aria finds out herself during the middle of her second year at NRC about Lilia being her biological father who never knew her mom was pregnant before he left the Queendom of Roses.

Aria Whitecourt Backstory

In this timeline Aria gets a better idea what caused the overblot apocalypse in timeline 1 and is even successful in stopping the Styx overblot apocalypse. Aria did bump into Rook and followed him to Island of Woe with Epel.

Aria and Grim don't really cross paths in this timeline. Grim does cause chaos during Ace's Entrance ceremony like in the game, they just chased another poor NRC student (a random npc probably?). Grim also could've crossed paths with Aria briefly right after Riddles overblot. Grim keeps infiltrating into NRC and hid in Heartslabyul during Riddle's overblot and ate the overblot stone. Grim does the same for all the other overblots and probably even uses Ramshackle as his secret hideout.

Anyways in this timeline Grim does overblot near the end of Aria's 3rd year at NRC. This overblot causes Aria to use her unique magic yet again and rewrites the timeline once more

Aria Whitecourt Backstory

This is timeline 2 where Aria got to be at NRC at age 16 and have more time to bond with the 2nd and 3rd years from timeline 3. Hell Aria, even befriended Malleus before his 3rd year at NRC and was part of his club. the strong trust and comfortability with each other is still present in timeline 3 However Malleus won't remember their friendship from this timeline. Technically Aria won't remember either, but she has the ability to remember past timelines at least.

Theres also cute bonding between 3rd year Aria and Freshmen Deuce in this timeline. As Deuce looks up to her and is trying to be a better person for both Aria and his mother.

Current status

This is where I'll list how many wips for this blog I have and how far along they are.

I will leave a shortcut/link to here from my Masterlist.

Current Status

My WIPS

So let's see where I left off with the stuff in my drafts here.

Almost done with:

Nothing at the moment

In the middle of:

Aftermath of book 1, return home AU

I have some brainstorm idea drafts for return home and children of laughter AU's

Barley started:

Heartslabyul panic part 2 Deuce,

The Nightmare part 3

For both of the above I just have the description of where we left off in the last part. I haven't even set up the scene to start these parts.

I'm debating how will I make the part 2 for Ace and Deuce Heartslabyul panic differences shine for the different povs.

I am also debating which Heartslabyul panic is canon timeline for the nightmare series as well.

I already have a basic idea for both Heartslabyul panic and the rest of the nightmare series.

Not sure when I'll feel up to fleshing out and going into novel detail in my drafts.

Might redo:

The nightmare series

Dreaming once more in a field of flowers (Aria oneshot)

I feel like the writing style could be better for both. The pacing for the oneshot is to rushed I need the oneshot to be a lot longer. I might even separate the oneshot into parts depending how much I wanna space out and build the scene and the events covered in it.

I like what I have written for the nightmare so far but also want to redo it cause I believe I can do better.

So I might just keep what I have but specify it's a old version and that I'm making a newer version that will be canon for my twst Au for Aria and Yumi.

Current Status

Keep in mind this is just where my drafts progress is currently, they may be left at the their current spot for who knows how long.

My progress depends on when I feel like continuing anything in my draft.

I most likely will add more wips here whenever I fell like starting another work (written or art) on this blog regardless of my progress on the rest of the stuff In drafts on this blog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aria seems quiet, serious, and unapproachable at first but is an absolute sweetheart once u get to know her. She is a little socially awkward on expressing her emotions and just comes off as indifferent most of the time. She shows her love through acts of service and genuine compliments. Aria is seen as a well-respected upperclassman of the Heartslabyul dorm. Is seen as a big sister figure to the Heartslabyul dorm. It took a while but is a frequent and welcomed visitor to the Diasomnia dorm as well.
