TW: mentions of child abuse, bad living conditions, and poor home life, as well as nightmares
—————————————————————————-
What happened last:
…now that your safely under the cover of a tree he looks down at you “now what on earth happened (name)?” You sniffled and grim cuddled into you, “t-the roof fell in and *hick* we d-didn’t know what to do” you quietly sob. Malleus merely looks at you with concern as you cry into his chest. “Well that won’t do now will it child of man? You certainly cannot stay in ramshackle in this state, I’ll just have to bring you to dipsomania”. Before you could even think to refute he promptly turns and heads to dipsomania to tell Lilia about there new guest…
—————————————————————————-
Chapter one-
You were warm, you were warm and you felt safe, a feeling you only briefly ever felt. You were asleep… well more like passed out, you were passed out in Malleus’s arms as you snuggled a sleeping grim. Malleus simply watched the two of you with the eyes of a proud older brother then gently set you two down in his bed and pulling the covers over you as he decided you needed the bed far more than he did, then he found his way out of his room and walked down the hall to Lilia’s room whom he was certain was awake.
Knock,
Knock,
Knock,
“Mal you know you have no need to knock before entering my room” Lilia said through the door as he turned off his video game, malmal stepped through the door carefully and started on “I’ve just come to inform you of some new residents in my quarters tonight” Lilia smirked towards the boy and rose an eyebrow “oh really?” Malleus, ever used to his antics simply went on “yes ramshackles roof has collapsed in this storm and I’ve decided (name) and grim will be staying with us for the time being”. Now Lilia was… curious of you, you certainly caught his eye during the dorm sorting but he hadn’t had a chance to really meet you yet, he’d seen you in passing, herd about you from passers by, herd professor Crewl yelling at headmaster Crowley about being negligent towards you once, and of course he’s heard tales from Malleus about his friend he walks with during the nights, but now he’d get to truly meet you. “I think that’s a wonderful idea” said Lilia, “you better not scare them off” Malleus warned with a slightly disgruntled expression, “who me?! Never!” Lilia said rather dramatically as Mal simply shook his head and left his father figures room. Soon he found himself back in his room watching as you and grim slept just about as peacefully as he’s ever seen you, Malleus may not know the exact cause but he is very aware of your awful sleeping habits caused by your worse nightmares, far too often he’s found himself peering into the window of ramshackle only to see you curled up underneath your bed crying from nightmares you couldn’t shake, with your hands covering your mouth not wanting to disturb grim, but grim or the ghosts would always stir and come to your aid, something Malleus was grateful for, he appreciated knowing that even if he was not there when you needed, somebody will be.
…to be continued

(TWST) The Little Outsider- Introduction Chapter: The Mirror Speaks Again
Summary: A burst of unstable magic and suddenly a mysterious child appears before the Dark Mirror.
Disclaimer: I do not own TWST or any of its characters.
Warnings: Instead of using (Y/N) we are using Star just how in the game we are refer as Yuu. Uhh...Spoilers for those who haven't started the game? It's going to be based around the game due to the anime only having one season.
Authors Note: I've been deep into the trenches with TWST game, I came back to it once I heard about season one...let me tell you it hooked me. I'm back on the grinding of getting all those cards level up for book 7. If Star isn't working well with you readers, please let me know and depending on the majority, I will change it or not.
BIG ANNOUCEMENT: After having this account for like...I think 2 years or 3. I will be rebranding the name. I feel I am so much better at writing comfort stories especially Platonic Relationship Content. SimpCityy doesn't really reflect that so just a heads up if the name changes, I will be also doing a separate post and pin that.
Chapters: Intro, Ch.1, Ch.2

The weekly staff and student council (aka those who blotted and certain first years) meeting was dragging on longer than anyone wanted. Housewardens of each dorm stood in a loose semicircle while Crowley ramble about "Campus safety," upcoming events and " the importance of not blowing up school property." Yuu stood near the back, half-listening, half-wondering if they could sneak out just how Grim did.
Then the Dark Mirror hummed.
Not loudly- but enough to make the floor vibrate under their feet. Malleus lifted his head, for once was invited thanks to Yuu, " That is no ordinary fluctuation." Before anyone could react, the Mirror flashed - a burst of white light that washed over the entire chamber. Papers flew. Crowley shrieked. Ace Swore. Riddle nearly dropped his clipboard. And then...a sound.
A small, frightened sniffle.
Everyone turned, A child maybe five or six sat on the cold stone in front of the Mirror. Their knees were pulled to their chest, tiny hands clutching a stuffed toy was looked like it had been loved for years. Their eyes were wide and watery, shimmering with leftover magic. They looked around the room, confused and scared.
Deuce froze, "They're just a kid?"
Leona sighed sharply. " Great. The Mirror's broken."
Azul interjected, " No. This was intentional. The Mirror doesn't summon by accident or alone."
Yuu's heart dropped into their stomach.
Another person?
Another outsider?
Why a child?
Why not send me home instead?
The Mirror glowed again, its voice echoing through the chamber:
" A star misplaced...seeking shelter in a world not their own."
The child flinched and pressed their face into their stuffed toy. Crowley panicked immediately. "A -A CHILD?! Why would the Mirror summon a child? I am not equipped for this! I don't even have childcare insurance!" Crewel glares at the headmage. " That is your concern Dire!?"
Yuu stepped forward slowly, their voice soft. "Hey...it's okay. You're safe. No one is going to hurt you." The child only peeked up at them, eyes big and scared, "Where's ...My mama...?"
The room fell slient.
Yuu knelt down, throat tight. " I...I don't know yet...but I'll help. I promise" As the child reached out and grabbed Yuu's sleeve, something inside Yuu twisted - a mix of fear, responsibility, and a painful question they couldn't shake.
If the Mirror can bring them here..., why can't it take me back?
Can I request the dorm leaders and Jamil with a little sibling reader who’s like Elementary school young so like a 1st grader? It was their first day of “Big kid school!” (The reader adorably labeled it) and she was so excited to go practically bouncing off the walls and their older sibling was aware it would be their first day but obviously couldn’t be there because they have their own school to be at. Later that day wailing can be heard in the halls and when said students go to check it out they find outside the front of the school gates Crewel holding a sobbing, hysterical child who he’s trying to console who looks all scraped up or covered in dirt hair a mess and they realize it’s the reader and it turns out they ran all the way from their elementary school to NRC to see their big brother instead of going home because it turns out they had a terrible first day of school crying about how some kids were mean and they got pushed around shoved into a dirty puddle stuff like that? Basically made fun of and teased and their reactions to the whole thing? Like who’s drop kicking children? Who’s having the whole school board shut down? Who’s lowkey about to commit murder? Who’s about to burn the building down? and them just coddling the child the rest of the day. This was a long ask but I couldn’t get this out of my mind I’m sorry! Sjfnwnicsnjfkhnsrh I thought it would be precious seeing them soft for a little child sibling😭
First Day Gone Terribly Wrong: Part 1
Note: This was rly cute and gave me a good brainrot, so here you go!
Also, I'm gonna be making the younger sibling gender neutral since you didn't exactly specify what gender you wanted.
Just saying, the younger sibling reader in this is different from the ones on my other younger sibling reader fics. Unless you wanna give those cute and traumatized kids some fluff and comfort, you're free to interpret this sibling as something else entirely or the same.
To be included (in part 2, possibly a part 3): Kalim Al-Asim, Jamil Viper, Vil Schoenheit, Idia Shroud (ft. Ortho Shroud), Malleus Draconia
Reader/the younger sibling is referred to with they/them and as [Name]. And considering the reader is in first grade, I'm assuming that they're around 5 or 6 years old, but I'll be saying 5 year old since that the age most people start grade one, at least where I'm from/from what I know.
Also, because of the fact that Leona is canonically 20 and Falena has a son (who, upon speculation, is around 5), I'll just make the reader Cheka's sibling (for plot reasons, I'll just say that reader is younger than Cheka by just a year or smthg-). Thus, this makes Leona the uncle of [Name] instead of [Name]'s older brother.
Also, the younger sibling may be described in some parts as having similar features as their respective elder brother/s. Like Idia's younger sibling would have blue fire hair like him, Leona's sibling would be a lion beastman, Malleus's sibling has horns, those stuff.
Oh! And Crewel calls [Name] puppy, pup, and other variations because... it's Crewel. And please ignore the semi-obvious plotholes cuz the characters have already went through their respective overblots by the time this whole thing happens-
I'll start trying to upload more works now too!! There's been so much stuff sitting on my inbox, I'm so sorry for making everyone wait.
Word count (including intro): 2864 words
Warning/s: Bullies, Possible OOC, Dorm Leaders + Jamil being protective of their cute sibling (or in Leona's case, nibling), The child cries a lot (IT'S A CHILD!!!), A couple of my personal headcanons would be thrown in sometimes, Not proofread, I accidentally mix up between 2nd and 3rd person I'm so sorry, Tell me if I missed anything
Full fic under the cut!
Intro:
As [Name] was getting ready for their first day of school, they were practically buzzing with excitement.
They've ranted and rambled about their excitement to their sibling/s, refusing to even stand still (much to the dismay of some) as they were given their bag and snacks.
Eventually, it was time for [Name]'s older brother/s/uncle to leave for Night Raven College. Since the child's school was also on Sage Island, they were entrusted in their older brother/uncle's care to head to the island for school.
On the way there, [Name]'s older brother/s/uncle gaze at the lively 5 year old with a fond smile, watching the child chatter about how excited they were for their first day of "big kid school".
Unbeknownst to them, however, there would be a sinister force awaiting the cute 5-year old. Bullies. The worst kind of bullies that left you running away to your big brother/uncle's school for comfort.
Although, unfortunately for the bullies, [Name] has quite the protective family backing them up.
Riddle Rosehearts:
Riddle's childhood has always been rough and strict, and the same could be said for his younger sibling, [Name]. When his mother had gotten pregnant with you, Riddle was silently and internally fearing for what would become of you. He knew what impact his mother's rules had on a person and he was worried that you learn to be stricter on yourself because of your mother.
Because of that, throughout your childhood, he teaches you to obey your mother, but is a lot softer on you. He wouldn't want you to topple over the sheer amount of pressure he went through. He grew to be protective over you, but he still prioritized his mother's orders over anything else.
After his overblot, however, he tried subtly showing you that it was alright to break some rules if it was harmless. He treated you over at the Clover family bakery to let you have some tarts. And this time, his mother had trusted you in Riddle's care, believing that he wouldn't dare break a rule. Your mother was wrong, but the Rosehearts siblings could care less about it as they were as happy as can be. In the end, both of you weren't caught and you ended up being close friends with Trey and his younger siblings.
When Riddle finally had to see you off at your own school, he was constantly worrying about you. From the moment he dropped you off and you left his sight, terrible situations started sprouting in his head.
He speaks his worries to his trusty vice, Trey, who reassures him that bad things are unlikely to happen. As an attempt to help Riddle, Trey tells him stories about how Trey's own younger siblings had great first days of school. While it did help a lot, he can't help but still be concerned for you in the back of his mind.
However, during lunch break, as the students were eating lunch, crying was suddenly heard nearby. The crying disturbed atleast half the student body, for a variety of reasons, but what bothered Riddle was the fact that he could practically hear you.
At first, he thinks that it's just him being paranoid, but he still decides to check it out. There, he sees Professor Crewel holding his younger sibling, who was crying. His younger sibling, [Name] Rosehearts, was covered in mud and had some traces of the strawberry tart (that Trey made) Riddle had sneaked in the child's lunch on their clothes. Not to mention how messy their hair was and the scratches on their arms and face. The sight made his blood boil.
Who dared to make his sibling cry? How dare they cause tears to fall from their eyes?
Riddle's face turns red, and Cater and Trey (along with any nearby Heartslabyul student) felt as if they were suddenly brought back into Riddle's tyrant phase. The redhead practically stomps over to Crewel and [Name], as his two seniors follow, trying to calm him down.
When Riddle finally reaches his dear sibling, he forces himself to outwardly calm down, and approaches the teacher.
"Professor Crewel, this is my younger sibling. May I know what the situation is?" the dorm leader asks. The dual-haired professor, having seen Rosehearts' little outburst, raised a brow. But the man shrugged off the sight and retold what he knew.
Apparently, Crewel found [Name] running to the school, all dirtied up while crying. The child had been calling out for "Brother Riddle", saying that today was "the worst day ever" through sobs. It was a miracle that Crewel even understood what the little puppy was talking about.
Riddle, who had calmed down a lot better by then, gently took the crying kid in his arms, holding them up. [Name] looks at the new person (who they had just noticed) and their face lights up when they see their elder brother. "Brother Riddle!!", [Name] cries out, wrapping their small arms around Riddle's torso, sobbing even louder.
Riddle immediately comforts his younger sibling, patting them on the back with one hand and quickly moves to go to Heartslabyul to get some privacy. He silently thanks his professor and makes a beeline straight to the Hall of Mirrors, glaring at anyone in his way.
As he finally reaches the comfort of his room, Riddle set you down gently on his bed. By then, both had calmed down, and Riddle kneels on one leg to look at his sibling eye-to-eye. He then asks the child to explain what happened.
When you explained to him what happened with their "bullies", who had made fun of you and pushed you to the ground, along with your strawberry tart after you had refused to share their lunch and dessert with the other kids. This enraged Riddle once more, but he hid it better.
You tried apologizing to Riddle for wasting the food and bothering him, but he only shushed them and gently patted your head, reassuring them that it was okay. Afterwards, he gets them all cleaned up and dressed them in the extra clothes your mother had packed. He then allowed [Name] to take a nap while he goes back to class.
Meanwhile, as the younger Rosehearts slept peacefully, Riddle decided to call up the school that held such disrespectful bullies. When the phone is picked up, he requests to speak to the principal or someone in charge of the first grade students.
When he gets to speak to the person, he starts sharing the same story [Name] told to him and requests that something would be done about the ill-mannered students who acted in pettiness over a child refusing to share their only food to the others. As much as this sounded like a 'karen moment', as the Ramshackle prefect would call it, Riddle spoke with courteousness and acted as if he were in an official debate.
The redhead's confidence and sense of authority, along with the obvious moral side of the topic, won over the other person and the bullies' parents were spoken to, while the bullies were given a severe warning.
Eventually, Riddle requests to his mother and the Headmage that his sibling, [Name] Rosehearts, would be allowed to stay in Night Raven College with Riddle to allow easy transportation between "home" and their school. And also so that Riddle can keep a close eye on his dear sibling, whom he would always protect.
Leona Kingscholar:
If anyone would ask Leona, he'd say that he wouldn't give a single care in the world when it came to his nephew & nibling. But the thing is, that's not exactly true. While he really does wish the children would stop clinging to him and stop causing trouble everywhere, there's still that small piece in Leona that helped raise these cubs.
The king and queen of the Afterglow Savanna were very busy people after all. And Leona would often be dragged into playing cub-sitter while his older brother and sister-in-law would be too busy. He didn't do any work, as he just supervised the hired nannies to make sure nothing bad would happen to the children.
Most of all, he can't help but somewhat see himself in the younger of his niblings, [Name]. While their existence obviously made Leona third in line for the throne (much to his utter dismay), he saw traces of how the servants would treat him in the way the young cub was treated. At first, Leona could care less. It wasn't his business after all. But upon hearing you cry in one of his original hiding spots (that you must have found on your own), his heart squeezed in his chest and he was brought back to his own childhood, when he himself was crying as no one wanted to play with him or even pay the slightest bit of positive attention to him.
This solidified the idea in his head that if this sort of behavior was still found within Falena's reign as king, Falena wasn't a good king nor a good father after all. Because of that, Leona somewhat took it upon himself to teach the young cub what they need to know. He taught them to be tougher, to be stronger, to not let anyone see weakness. He taught you what he had taught himself as a young child.
It was only after his overblot that Leona realized that you didn't need to be strong, you needed someone else to be strong enough to hold them and comfort them. So he started to teach the young cub to express themselves more, because he now knows that bottling it up won't help at all. He starts teaching them and showing them things he wished he could have done when he was their age.
When it was time for [Name]'s first day in first grade, Leona is left thinking why the heck his brother thought it was a good idea to send them off far from their home land? While the Kingscholar royal family had made arrangements that the young cub would stay with Leona in NRC, Leona can't help but think that this was the kingdom's way of saying that he and [Name] weren't welcome there. After all, there are plenty of schools in the Afterglow Savanna as well, which is where Cheka studies.
Regardless, when he drops his nibling off at their school, he watches over them as they are guided over to their class by a teacher nearby. On seeing that you were safely in your room, he turns and leaves to his school, yawning and muttering to himself.
In contrast to Riddle, Leona barely worries at all. After all, the school knows that they are housing someone of high royal status there, so he doesn't see why anyone would want to mess with his nibling.
So imagine his surprise, disappointment, and annoyance when he realizes that there are in fact kids that had the balls to bully the youngest child of the king of the Afterglow Savannah.
Leona finds out when Ruggie wakes him up from his afternoon nap in the Botanical Garden. The hyena was holding the nibling, who was currently eating their favorite food. The lion cub had tear streaks on their face, some tears still falling, but was mostly calm as they nibbled their food.
Leona saw your scraped knees, scratched arms, and bruised (and slightly bleeding) tail and promptly sat up, demanding to know what happened. Ruggie told him that you had ran to the NRC campus after a couple kids made fun of your lion ears and stepped on your tail, pushing you around.
Hearing all of that made him give out a low growl, tempted to just have those brats sent to the kingdom's prison or even punished for hurting his nibling. He calms himself down, though, when he notices your ears fall down in a sad motion and your tail twitching in pain.
He sighs and orders Ruggie to get a first aid kit and treat your wounds as he has you lay down next to him. While Ruggie left to get the first-aid, Leona silently caresses your ears and hurt tail.
"I'll tell Falena about this. Your parents won't be pleased, but I can promise you that we'll do something about those brats that did this to you," Leona mutters to you as he gently hums a tune to get you to sleep.
The next day, the bullies promptly apologize to you and had to clean the windows and tables after school as a punishment. Though if Leona had any say in the punishment, the bullies would be guaranteed to be in much bigger trouble.
Leona also paid closer attention to you, and even decided to teach you chess, saying that if anyone makes you feel bad about yourself, you should challenge them in chess, because Leona knows that you would win every time.
Azul Ashengrotto:
Azul, having been a victim of bullying, himself, Azul wanted nothing but the best for you. This meant that he would always make himself appear as a good role model for you, and that he would always make sure that you would be on top of everything.
All this, so that you wouldn't have to go through the same hurtful words he did. He helped you grow out of your shell so you would become much more confident than he was, and taught you just about everything he knows and wants to pass down onto you.
He taught you important techniques in socializing, studying, singing, and even making good first impressions. He was utterly determined on making sure that you wouldn't end up as the crybaby octopus he used to be. He didn't want you to end up hurt from the brutality of the world around you.
He has no idea what came over his parents when they told him that they wanted you, [Name] Ashengrotto, to start first grade in THE SURFACE!! When his parents suggested this, he argued that it was a terrible transition from merfolk to human, especially since [Name] has no idea how to walk on only two legs.
In the end, Azul hesitantly agrees with his parents and gives you some human form potions beforehand so that you can practice walking as a human. He takes a lot of care in making sure that you can make the perfect first impression in school so that you won't get bullied.
As Azul drops you off at school, he reminds you of what you have to do and tells you to always stay safe. He's quite sentimental in seeing you off and worries incessantly the whole day about you.
While he's actually kind of confident that nothing could possibly happen to you, there's still that nagging feeling in the back of his head that says that his efforts wouldn't be enough and that you'd leave him after possibly getting humiliated because of him. Floyd complains that Azul is starting to act like an octopus mother with how he's been acting.
Azul tries reassuring himself despite his worries, but unfortunately for him, one of his biggest nightmares became true. He found out when a knock came on his office door while the Mostro Lounge was dealing with the after-school rush. Opening the door, he's surprised to see his younger sibling there, with unshed tears in their eyes, messy hair, and a bump on their forehead that was sure to bruise.
Azul quickly lets his younger sibling in, fussing about them as he closes the door behind him. He asks you what had happened, though he somewhat knew what had likely gone on with your day.
Apparently, some of the kids there thought that you were an attention-seeker because you kept participating in class and answering the teachers' questions. So they decided that it'd be a good idea to take one of your hard-cover books and hit it on your forehead multiple times while you were getting ready to be dismissed from class.
They had called you a bunch of mean names like "know-it-all", "attention-seeker", "nerd", telling you to "go back under the water, where you came from" and things like that.
Hearing all that, Azul's head suddenly flashed back to when he was younger, and people had bullied him for what may as well be the opposite reasons. People called him "dumb", "a crybaby", and yet people bullied you just because you were smarter.
The thought made him feel guilty for you and kind of angry at himself for letting this happen to you. He then proceeds to gently wipe your tears, which started to fall while you were telling him what happened, and conjures an ice pack for your forehead.
Azul proceeds to spend the rest of the day practically coddling and doting on you, trying to "make up for his mistake".
He also calls up your school, telling them of what happened and started suggesting ways on how the school should punish the bullies. Regardless of what the school ends up doing with the bullies, Azul and the Tweels still make it their personal mission to make the bullies' lives hell for children (be it by scaring them away, or other things).
I just read your headcanons for child reader with octavinelle and they’re great. Can I request Pomefiore hanging out with a tiny little fairy child? (headcanon format) I’d like to think Epel tries to get the small child all messy and muddy and stuff, but Rook and Grim are always watching lol
POMEFIORE WITH A FAIRY CHILD « HCs
pomefiore hanging out with a tiny fairy child!!
⭑ warnings? n/a
⭑ characters? vil schoenheit, rook hunt, epel felmier
POMEFIORE IS A COMFORTING, FAMILIAR PLACE.
⌗ with you being a fairy, i wholeheartedly believe vil is going to beautify you. no matter your gender (or lack of), he will try his absolute hardest to get you looking cute. you're gonna wear something like the fairy gala costumes, simply because vil feels the urge to make you wear it.
⌗ if you absolutely LOVE dressing up and makeup, vil is going to have a BALL with you. i also see vil being good with kids so you're gonna have so much fun OMG LIKE imagine having a little tea party with rook,vil and epel and you're all dressed up and drinking the best tea EVER and OMG (tea parties are CUTE)
⌗ now if you hate it, vil will not care. nobody is worse than epel when it comes to this. he will still make sure you look presentable, obviously taking into consideration what you do and don't like and the fact you're a child, but you'll still be kinda... beautiful? gorgeous? cute? whatever you prefer.
⌗ you can also ditch these sessions with the help of epel. he's a master if sneaking off, so he brings you with him. this is where stuff gets fun!!! epel will treat you like a younger sibling and teach you what life is all about; reckless fun. first it'll start off with rolling down hills but now he's letting you ride his blastcycle WITHOUT A HELMET??? of course he's holding onto you but oh my gosh please be careful
⌗ there was this one rainy day that epel brought you outside for. you were both wearing some old clothes, as to not ruin the fancy ones, when epel taught you how to mud fight. he even brought over jack, ace, and deuce and yall had SO MUCH FUN!!! deuce basically ate mud, ace is a terrible dodger (even if he says he's not) and jack is too busy trying not to get his fur muddy WHEN ROOK POPS OUT OF A NEARBY BUSH AND HOLDS YOU AND EPEL UP BY THE COLLAR OF YOUR SHIRTS
⌗ bro really took yall to vil who just looked at you like a disappointed mother. he fussed about your clothes and how epel was teaching you bad manners as he washed the mud out of your hair, epel whining in the back as rook combed muddy knots out of his hair. you were given the softest robe possible after your bath and vil decided to show you less messy ways to have fun (study fashion probably.) while epel was forced to get you apple slices (and apple juice if you like that ^^)
⌗ speaking of rook, he is your unofficial body guard. he follows you around campus randomly to keep you safe. if there is ever a time where you're harrassed (for being a fairy, or a child... OR BOTH??), expect rook to be there. jumping out of trees, popping out of bushes, hell, he once jumped off a shorter part of the BUILDING to get you. they are dealt with appropriately while you're off somewhere safe.
⌗ you have an unofficial defense team. congrats!!! vil trains you to test things for poison, and also advises against eating any stray apple in pomefiore. rook teaches you self defense and epel teaches you magic, if you can do it.
⌗ also, shout out to homie vil. if you happen to be away from home and all the other fairies you know, vil will do his damn best to research your culture and such to make you feel at home again. trust him to buy the best, authentic culture clothes and accessories. he will pay azul or anyone else to make your favorite foods, he will do anything to see you smile. he's like, your big brother or father?! you've got a family here frl
⌗ anyways, overall, pomefiore is your home away from home. father rook and vil with big brother epel, you're bound to have fun everyday. you're pampered and cared for, epel giving anyone a good beat down with they give you trouble. vil being there for emotional (and fashionable) support, and rook being there to protect you. they love you as much as you love them, and a little more, and they would never trade you for the world!!!!

The chamber was still glowing faintly from the Mirror's outburst when Crowley burst forward, feathers practically flying off his cloak. "Everyone remain calm!" he declared, voice cracking halfway through. "I. your ever-capable headmage, will handle this!" No one moved, not because they trusted him- but because the child sitting on the floor was too small, too still, and too out of place for anyone to look away. The kid sat with their stuffed toy clutched to their chest, eyes wide and unfocused. They didn't cry, they didn't speak after asking about his mama.
Trein stepped forward, ignoring Crowley entirely, "The child is in shock. We must approach gently." Lucius padded toward the child, tail swaying. The kids's glaze flicked toward the cat- the first sign of awareness but didn't reach out. Crewel folded his arms. "This is no ordinary summoning. The mirror has never brought forth a pup this young." Vargas nodded, unusually serious. "Even I can feel the magic on them."
Crowley puffed up again. "Yes, yes, very concerning indeed! Which is why I will take charge of this delicate situation!" He took one dramatic step toward the child, which caused the little one to flinched. You moved between them "Stop, you're scaring them." Crowley only froze mid-gesture, hand hovering awkwardly in the air , "I- scaring them? Me? Impossible! Children adore me!"
Crewel snorted, "Dire, even my Dalmatians have better instincts around frightened pups." The child's breathing quicken, fingers tightened around their stuffed toy. Yuu lowered their voice, " Hey, it's okay You're safe." Train crouched beside them. "Little one, do you know your name?" They open their mouth but only a breath escaped.
Crowley gasped dramatically. "Oh dear! A nameless child! A paperworks nightmare!" Crewel shuts him up " Dire," He warned, " choose your next words carefully." Crowley only clamped his beak-mask shut. The child only watched, eyes following between the two adults - big globes of eyes with tiny flecks glowing like stars.
Yuu exhaled softly, "....Star."
Vil nodded. " It suits them." He added. Ace smirks " Like a fallen star and landed here with us." The child now known as Star lowered their hands away from the stuffed toy and looks at Yuu. Yuu only leaned closer, " Star...do you like that?"
A pause but then Star shoved their face into the back of Yuu's knee. Train smiled faintly, " That's as good as a yes." Crowley nods, " Very well but who will take responsibility for Star while I contact the right people fo-" He watched as Star reached up suddenly, small arms lifting towards Yuu.
Crowley smiles " that's settle then!" Yuu only sighs " You were going to dump them on me anyways..." They mutter lifting up Star, making them grip their little hands on Yuu's shirt. Train spoke up, " Take them away from this, I bet they had enough of this crowd and noise." He nodded. As Yuu walked past the Housewardens and professors, Star peeked up at Yuu, whispering
"...Star..."
Yuu looked down before smiling, " Yeah, that's you."
Ramshackle Dorm creaked as Yuu pushed the door open with their shoulder, Star held securely in their arms. The child's tiny fingers were curled into Yuu's shirt, their stuffed toy squished between them like a shield. The dorm was still being a work in progress, still wasn't fancy but it was home.
And now...it was Stars first safe place in this world. A voice echoed deeper inside. " Took you long enough! I was starving! Did you bring snacks or-" Grim skidded into the hallway, tail puffed, eyes wide.
He froze
Yuu froze
Star blinked
Grim pointed dramatically " WHAT IS THAT?!" Star flinched, burying their face in Yuu's shoulder causing Yuu to shoot Grim a look, " Grim, inside voice."
“That IS my inside voice!” Grim hissed, though he immediately lowered it. “Why is there a tiny human in our house?!” Yuu shifted Star gently, rubbing their back. “This is Star. The Mirror summoned them.” Grim’s jaw dropped. “The Mirror summoned a kid? Why?! What are we supposed to do with it?!”
Star peeked out at the sound of Grim’s voice — just a sliver of one eye visible. Grim noticed and froze again, tail twitching.
“…It’s lookin’ at me.”
“They’re scared,” Yuu said softly. “Everyone was staring at them. They’ve had a long day.” Grim puffed up, trying to look intimidating. “Well, I’m not scared! I’m the Great Grim! I fear nothing!”
Star blinked at him.
Grim blinked back.
Star’s tiny hand lifted — hesitant, trembling — and they held out their stuffed toy toward him. Yuu’s breath caught. Grim stared at the toy like it was a bomb. “What… what’s it doing?” “They’re offering it to you,” Yuu whispered. “It’s a sign of trust.”
Grim swallowed hard, then reached out with one paw and tapped the toy gently. Star’s face softened — just a little — and they tucked the toy back to their chest. Yuu smiled. “See? They like you.” Grim huffed. “Well… of course they do. I am pretty great.” Star leaned slightly toward him, curious now instead of afraid.
Grim took a cautious step closer. “So… Star, huh? That’s your name?”Star didn’t speak, but they nodded once. Grim blinked. “Huh. Cute name.” Yuu raised an eyebrow. “You think so?” “I didn’t say I liked it!” Grim snapped, tail flicking. “I just said it’s cute! There’s a difference!”
Star giggled.
A tiny, breathy sound — but unmistakably a giggle. Yuu’s heart melted. Grim froze, ears shooting up. “Did it just laugh at me?!” Star giggled again, hiding their face behind their stuffed toy. Grim sputtered. “Hey! I’m not funny! I’m fearsome!” Yuu laughed softly. “I think they like you.”
Grim crossed his arms. “Well… fine. But I’m not babysitting. I’m not sharing my tuna. And I’m not cleaning up after it.” Star reached out and gently patted Grim’s head. Grim’s tail shot straight up. “HEY—!” But he didn’t pull away.
Not even a little.
Yuu exhaled, relief washing over them. “Welcome home, Star.” Star leaned into Yuu’s chest, eyes drifting shut, exhaustion finally catching up to them. Grim sighed dramatically. “Great. Now we’ve got a kid. What’s next? A whole daycare?” Yuu smiled. “One step at a time.”
Grim grumbled, but he walked beside them as Yuu carried Star deeper into the dorm — protective in the way only Grim could be.
And for the first time since arriving in this strange world, Star slept.

Morning sunlight filtered weakly through the stained-glass windows of the faculty conference hall — a room almost never used, and for good reason. It echoed. It smelled faintly of dust and old paperwork. And worst of all, it was where Crowley liked to hold “important” meetings.
Yuu stood near the back, Star perched sleepily on their hip, head tucked under Yuu’s chin. The staff filed in first — Crewel immaculate and irritated, Trein tired but composed, Vargas cracking his knuckles, and Sam humming cheerfully as his shadow slithered behind him.
Then came the housewardens and vice-housewardens, each with varying degrees of confusion and annoyance. Followed by extra strays wanting to know such as Ace, Deuce, and Floyd.
Crowley burst in with the energy of a man who had not slept but wanted everyone to think he had everything under control. “Thank you all for gathering on such short notice!” he announced, feathers puffing dramatically. “As you know, we have a situation.”
Crewel crossed his arms. “Dire, you dragged us here at dawn. This had better be more than your usual nonsense.” Crowley cleared his throat. “Well, you see, regarding our dear little Star—” Star peeked up at the sound of their name, blinking sleepily.
Crowley continued, “I attempted to contact the Child Guardian Bureau—” Trein’s eyebrow rose. “Attempted?” Crowley winced. “Yes, well, it seems their office is… ah… temporarily unavailable.”
Azul adjusted his glasses. “Unavailable how?” Crowley coughed. “Renovations.” Crewel’s eyes narrowed. “Renovations? Is that another lie of yours?”
Crowley ignored that. “The point is — they cannot take Star at this time. So! As the responsible, beloved, visionary headmage that I am. I have devised a brilliant solution!” Crowley spread his arms wide. “We shall create a temporary on-campus daycare!”
Trein sighed deeply. “Dire, this is not a simple undertaking. Children require structure, supervision, safety—” “And naps!” Vargas added proudly. Crowley nodded vigorously. “Exactly! And some of our staff already have young children, so this will be a wonderful resource for them as well!”
Trein blinked. “I… suppose that is true.” Crewel frowned. “But who, exactly, will be running this daycare?” Crowley beamed at that question. “Why, the students, of course!”
A collective groan rippled through the room. Riddle sputtered. “Students? They have classes! Responsibilities! Exams!” “Ah, yes, about that!” Crowley said brightly. “To encourage participation, I will be offering—” Yuu felt the dread before he even said it.
“—exam exemptions!”
The room exploded.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT!” Crewel barked. “You cannot bribe students with academic leniency!” “That undermines the entire educational system!” Trein snapped. Sam laughed. “Oh, this is gonna be good.”
Crowley held up his hands. “Now, now! Only small exemptions! A missed quiz here, a late assignment there—” “NO.” Crewel’s voice cracked like a whip. But the students… oh, the students were already whispering.
Ace’s eyes sparkled. “Wait, we can skip tests?”
Deuce looked torn. “We shouldn’t… but also… exams are hard…”
Floyd grinned. “I wanna play with the shrimpy baby! Gimme all the passes!”
Ruggie smirked. “Free grades for babysitting? Count me in.”
Even Idia perked up. “A… a daycare event? With buffs? And rewards?”
Crowley clapped. “Wonderful! Enthusiasm! Participation! Team spirit!” Crewel looked ready to strangle him while Sam whispered to his shadow, “This is gonna be chaos, huh?”
Yuu stepped forward, Star still clinging to them. “Crowley… you can’t just throw students at this. Star needs stability, not a rotating cast of teenagers bribed with exam passes.”
Crowley waved a hand. “Nonsense! Children love variety!”
Crewel glared. “We will discuss appropriate compensation later.” Trein nodded. “And proper supervision.” Vargas thumped his chest. “And safety protocols!”
Crowley brightened. “Excellent! A collaborative effort! So, it’s settled — the NRC Daycare Initiative begins today!”
Yuu only stayed silent, weighing the pros and cons. One pro they wouldn't need to worry about Star and their classes having conflict but...this school did have a big...ego problem and some students are unique. Yuu's eyes glance at Floyd before muttering under their breath,
The chosen space for the daycare turned out to be an unused annex near the botanical courtyard—dusty, overgrown, and apparently home to at least three cursed chairs. The housewardens were immediately assigned “cleanup teams,” which quickly turned into territorial disputes.
Star watched from Yuu’s arms, eyes wide.
“…Big room,” they said softly.
“You like it?” Yuu asked.
Star nodded. “For… play?”
“Yeah,” Yuu smiled faintly. “For play.”
Word spread fast. By the third day, the daycare space had turned into a mountain of donations:
Stuffed animals from students
Enchanted blocks that rearranged themselves into shapes
Storybooks from Trein’s children when they were young
Cushions from Scarabia
toys that Leona brought back that use to belong to Cheka
Even a polished carriage arrived at the edge of Night Raven College.
RSA had sent donations. Books. Educational toys. Healing charms designed for emotional regulation. Even hand-painted murals that could be hung on the daycare walls. And at the center of it all was a sealed envelope from the Headmage of RSA
“…Hmph,” Crowley said quietly. " How gracious of them."
The first official trial day came for a small group of staffs to bring their children for a trial run under strict supervision by Crewel, just for today. Just to see how the first group of volunteers do. The moment they entered, Star’s entire face lit up.
“Friends?” they asked immediately.
“Yeah,” Yuu said softly. “Friends for today.”
That was all it took. Star took their hand and led them straight to the play area like they had been waiting for this moment their whole life.
Even Grim got roped into pretending to be a “magical daycare guardian beast,” which he loudly insisted was beneath him while absolutely refusing to leave. Star was everywhere at once laughing, sharing toys, showing others how to stack blocks
Here is a cute idea, dorm leaders(replace Kalim with Jamil pwease. Thank chu~) reacting to a child!mc calling them dad because they are the closest thing they had to a dad.
Child!Reader Calling the Overblot Squad 'Dad'
Note: Oh my gosh, anon. THAT IS SO CUTE OMGGGGGG 😍😍😍
ANON WILL YOU LET ME HUG YOU AND PLATONICALLY SAY 'I LOVE YOU'?!?!
BECAUSE, MY GOSH!!! I AM MELTINGGG!!!
I'm sorry this took SO LONG to do, I've been doing a bunch of other requests-
But like-
When I first read this request, I was ALREADY CRYINGGG!!!!
AAAAAAA
Also, I put Overblot Squad because that is the Dorm Leaders with Jamil instead of Kalim so yeah-
Anyway-
You didn't specify how old you wanted the reader or the Overblot Squad to be, so I just went with the reader being around 5-7 (depends on you), and the Overblot Squad is their normal age. This also takes place after the overblots-
Also, the reasons why Reader is under the protection of the Overblot Squad varies throughout; but will be explained. So I hope that this is alright! If not, feel free to send in a request and I'll fix it!
And since you didn't specify the type of format you wanted me to do here, I'll just make it headcanons + the story itself!! Hope that's alright!!
And FINALLY!!! SOME FRICKIN FLUFF IN HERE!!! I'VE BEEN LONGING FOR SOMW FLUFF IN THIS ANGST-FILLED BLOG-
Warning/s: Absolutely FLUFFY platonic love, "father"-figure is a teenager, Reader is 5-7 years old, some mentions of past abuse (not much), a bit of angst if you squint, mostly fluff tho, I hope this makes you melt and cry the way I did when making this.
Heartslabyul:
Riddle Rosehearts:
🥀 While taking care of you, Riddle was very careful.
🥀 He didn't want to be like his mother.
🥀 He didn't want to turn out like his mother.
🥀 He couldn't bear doing that.
🥀 So he was pretty unsure of what to do.
🥀 He had asked for advice from Trey
🥀 But he very much loves you.
🥀 He sees a bit of himself in you; he doesn't want to blow this job!
🥀 He make personal rules to himself.
🥀 Rules like, "Be gentle with [Name] at all times", or "Feed [Name] their special favorite food every Friday", and stuff.
🥀 So that if he breaks any of his rules, he punishes himself by doing a certain chore; like manually painting the roses red, or other things.
🥀 Baby's just serious in taking care of you! 🥺❤
🥀 And when you call him 'dad'?
🥀 He's crying.
🥀 Downright SOBBING like a baby.
🥀 Who gave you the right to be this cute?!? 🥺🥺😭😭😭
---
One day, in Heartslabyul, Riddle was teaching you how to properly hold a hedgehog. You had asked him to teach you and he was happy to!
"Alright, sweetheart. Be careful with them, okay? They're properly trained, but they need to get used to your hands.", Riddle says as he gently picks up a hedgehog and shows you.
You look at him and nod.
You look at the hedgehog closest to you, it was a red hedgehog.
'It's like his hair', you think to yourself.
You slowly place your hands around the hedgehog and slowly and gently scoop it up.
The hedgehog shifts a bit, but calmsdown after a while.
It moves around a bit in your hand, familiarizing itself with you.
You, in particular, were fascinated by the hedgehog.
You look up to Riddle with a grin on your face.
Riddle looks back at you with a soft yet proud smile.
"Great job, my little rosebud", he says, gently patting your head.
Your grin somehow gets even bigger as you slowly move your hands to Riddle.
Positioning your hands so that it looks like Riddle and the hedgehog are next to each other, you giggle a bit.
"The hedgehog is like your hair, dad!", you exclaim while laughing.
Riddle laughs a bit as well, noticing the hedgehog's color.
Until he realizes what you addressed him as.
His eyes widen and he slowly takes the hedgehog from your hands, and places it down to the ground.
You confusedly look up at him, is there something wrong?
When he looks at you in the eye, you notice that tears are flowing from his eyes.
Surprised, you stand up from your position kneeling down. Riddle was also knelt down on the ground.
You wiped your hands on your shirt and and patted it on Riddle's cheecks to wipe away his tears.
"Dad? Is something wrong??" You ask him, head tilting to side.
Riddle sniffles as he softly takes your hands and hold them in his.
"[Name], my rosebud, did you just call me 'dad'?", he softly asks.
You nodded, "Mhmm! Mr. Riddle is nice and gentle with me. Not like with mother. She isn't nice. Mr. Riddle is, though! So Riddle is my Dad! Mothe- no... miss. Miss is mean and I don't like her!", you tell him passionately.
Ah yes, another reason why Riddle was so adamant on sticking with you.
You also had a strict mother. Except yours was a lot more abusive and hirrible than Riddle's was. Not to mention your mother being an absolute drunkard.
So Riddle wanted to give you the life he never did as a child.
And to think he was starting to think of having someone else look after them instead of him! What a stupid thought he had, Riddle berated himself.
Riddle sniffs again and smiles softly, "Well, you, my little rosebud, are now my child, I suppose. I solemnly swear that I will be a proper father to you, my rosebud."
That night, as you slept, Riddle cried tears of joy.
He has family. Family that loves him. And family that he loves too.
Savanaclaw:
Leona Kingscholar:
🦁 Now, one might be thinking, how did they get LEONA to take care of a child?!
🦁 Well, surprisingly; he actually volunteered to take the kid.
🦁 Also, Farena decided to have him take care of a kid to hopefully keep him out of trouble, or because the kid had taken more of a liking to Leona than Farena himself.
🦁 So yeah!
🦁 He had permission to take you to NRC, (Crowley was bribed) and had Ruggie prepare a baby-proofed room next to his.
🦁 Ever since then, Leona kept you mostly in his room; or went to your room.
🦁 The reason Leona wanted to keep you was pretty simple, really.
🦁 You didn't think that Farena was better than him.
🦁 In fact, he received the best reaction from you.
🦁 And while he would usually not like kids, Leona acknowledges that his brother and nephew aren't the best people to be taking care of you.
🦁 Also because you blew a raspberry at Farena when he tried to take you away from Leona. 🤣🤣🤣
🦁 Leona approves 🤣
🦁 Leona takes up a bit more responsibility than usual with you.
🦁 Meaning, Ruggie gets a bit of a break! Yey!!
🦁 But Leona has seen his sister-in-law take care of Cheka; Farena has probably had him take care of baby Cheka at least once before.
🦁 So Leona does know the bare minimum and the basics of taking care of a child.
🦁 By the way, in this, you're a lion beastman/cub/child.
🦁 When you call him, 'dad', Leona's pretty chill about it.
🦁 He's glad that you've learned to accept his presence in your life.
🦁 And accepts you as a part of his family; his pride.
---
"Whoooo!!! Go Mr. Leona!!! Go Mr. Ruggie!! Go Mr. Jack!!!!", you cheered as you watched Savanaclaw's morning practice.
Leona had casted a magical shield around you so that if the Magift disc would ever shoot towards you, it would ricochet off the shield.
Leona was pretty overprotective of you; and the rest of Savanclaw saw you as their little sibling.
Basically, everyone in Savanaclaw was pretty protective of you.
Your favorite Savanaclaw students were obviously Leona, Ruggie, and Jack!
Ruggie was nice, his food tastes really good. And he's really funny and a great teacher!
Jack is very nice too! He's also really kind and keeps you safe from any meanies!
Leona took you in and took care of you! He always comforted you when you had bad dreams and always scared away the monster under the bed!!
After a while, you and Leona were laying down in his bed.
You liked Leona's bed.
Well, you like everything Leona has, in general.
You liked it because it had his scent.
Leona's scent comforted you; it made you feel safe!
"Cub, ya alright? You've been quiet lately...", Leona asks you.
You just hugged him and snuggled into him even more.
"It's nothing, dad. I'm just sleepy", you say as you start to nod off.
Upon hearing what you called him, Leona gets wide awake.
'Dad...? Did the cub just... call me dad...?', Leona thinks.
'Dad... yeah... they're MY cub. I'm their dad. I like that idea.', he makes a small smile at the thought.
Leona has lived his life mostly on his own.
He's cared for himself, or had others take care of him.
But other than that, he hasn't really found people to care for.
But that all changed since you came into his life.
'You... his little cub.
You... part of his pride.
He likes that.'
He decided as he also falls asleep.
Octavinelle:
Azul Ashengrotto:
🐙 While taking care of you, Azul CONSTANTLY spoiled and doted on you.
🐙 While he's working for Monstro Longe, he has you nearby one way or another.
🐙 If he's in his office, he'll either have you sat down on his lap; or seated on a couch nearby.
🐙 If he's in Monstro Lounge, serving customers, he has you sat down somewhere, or lets you walk around.
🐙 And if he's making a deal scamming someone, he'll have Jade or Floyd watch you.
🐙 Not a good idea-
🐙 But other than that, he's a great caretaker!
🐙 He also makes sure that you aren't getting bullied, like he used to be.
🐙 Azul wants to raise you to be happy, but also knowledgeable.
🐙 So sometimes, he'll have you answer little work books for kids.
🐙 Nothing too much, though.
🐙 He also teaches you a couple of tricks, like how to roll a dice and get it to the number you want.
🐙 Or how to read body language.
🐙 Azul doesn't want you to pick up on the deal-making and scamming, though.
🐙 If you specifically ask him to teach you, he'll make a huge lecture and talk about it, before asking you if you want to do it or not.
🐙 Basically, he just makes sure that you know what you're getting into when you ask for something.
🐙 Azul would also show you his coin collection, and tell you ALL he knows about them.
🐙 If he's free, he'll read you a bed time story, or talk to you to sleep, or sing you to sleep.
🐙 Like Riddle, Azul's problems stem from his childhood; so he sees a part of himself in you.
🐙 And in loving and taking care of you, it's like he's saving a part of what his past self could have been.
🐙 But Azul does learn to wholeheartedly love you. Because I know for a FACT that he used to use the "baby-bait marketing" thing.
🐙 He gets better, don't worry.
🐙 So when you call him, 'dad', Azul (like Riddle) cries, and starts SOBBING like a baby.

"And this coin over here is something I found in in a little boat. It was abandoned and ruined by the time I found it and so it was most likely there for a long time. Anyway, everything was full of rust too. So I cleaned the coin by..." As Azul rambled on, you looked at the coin he brought up.
It was a pretty gold goin, with a swirly shell symbol on it. Azul said it was called a nautilus shell. It was also in the Octavinelle symbol too!
You liked it when Azul would explain things to you. The people back home would say that you would find out when you were older. But Azul always liked to explain things to you!
Then you see a little coin. It was pretty small; but it seemed well cleaned. It had an octopus symbol on it, with two eels on the side.
It reminded you of Azul, Jade, and Floyd.
You softly poked Azul's arm (which was holding you) to get his attention.
He hummed and looked at you, "Is there something wrong, my pearl?", he asked you.
You pointed to the coin that caught your interest and said, "It looks like Mr. Jade, Mr. Floyd, and you, dad."
Azul hums again, while nodding. "Ahh I see. Yes, my pearl it does look like Jade, Floyd and I, huh? Well, actually it-- wait a minute-", Azul stops himself.
Your statement runs through his head a couple more times and he realizes you had called him dad.
His eyes tear up and he's...
'No! No, Azul. Don't cry. Don't cry in front of [Name]. Don't turn into that silly octopus-'
Anndd, he's uh... he's already crying...
Startled at Azul's sudden sobs, you turn to him, worried.
You reach your hands up to his face and try wiping his tears.
He picks you up, and hugs you tightly. Not so tight that it hurst you; but tight enough to convey a message, that you felt.
"Thank you so much... I love you..."
Azul says this out loud as well.
"I promise that I'll be a good father to you. I'll keep you safe. Not like those other people did.", he says as he hugs you.
Azul has lived his life believing that in this world, you can't get anything for nothing.
But... with you... perhaps he can have you with him...
Azul would do anything to keep you safe and happy.
Scarabia:
Jamil Viper:
🐍 When Jamil had to take care of you, he didn't want to
🐍 He already has to deal with Kalim a child!
🐍 However, when he hears your backstory, he's a bit more... cooperative.
🐍 He's a servant of the Asim family; he knows how to take care of children and babies.
🐍 Plus, he's an older brother himself.
🐍 As the days go by, Jamil finds you to be someone he can go to for comfort, and to bond with.
🐍 It's as if you guys are actual family.
🐍 Jamil knows that he's getting attached; but he can't help it.
🐍 You depend on him, not in the way Kalim does; but in a way that is as if he's the best person in the world.
🐍 Jamil wants praise; he wants to be the best.
🐍 So being the best to you is something he loves.
🐍 His connection with you shows that he CAN be better than Kalim in something.
🐍 Jamil absolutely LOVES you now.
🐍 You trust him very much, and aren't much of a fuss.
🐍 You're also pretty polite and respectful when need be.
🐍 You also look up to him, and like to copy whatever he does.
🐍 It's pretty cute to him (and Kalim, who's watching Jamil with you acting as a mini-Jamil)
🐍 You also have this innocence to you that makes Jamil want to protect you from the horror that is this world.
🐍 So when you call Jamil, 'dad', that solidifies the fact that he is better than Kalim in something.
🐍 He's a father-figure to this kid, who might as well be his child!
---
You and Jamil were in the kitchen. You were stood up on a wide stool in front of the kitchen counter-table thing.
Jamil was teaching you how to make fruit salad (not exactly anything special; it's one of my personal favs tho-). The fruits were already sliced by Jamil himself. He taught you to put certain fruits and then some cream and mix.
He taught you some of the vitamins and minerals some of the fruits have, and what they do to make you healthy.
After you had finished mixing the fruits and the cream, you looked up at Jamil with a smile on your face.
"Dad! Dad! Look, I mixed it!!", you exclaimed.
Jamil was surprised at what you referred to him as.
"D-dad? My little genie... did you just...?", Jamil was too stunned to speak.
Jamil appreciated how much you trusted him to actually think of him as your father-figure.
Not only that, but he has finally been able to beat Kalim in something! Something actually important!!
Jamil has succeeded in becoming the best person to someone important to him! Someone he genuinely cares about.
That someone is you.
Jamil has lived his life, thinking and believing that anything he wants, Kalim gets.
But this is different. You are someone Jamil WANTS to keep safe; someone he WANTS to have for himself.
And Jamil has you; he has your trust, he has your admiration.
He does NOT want to break that. He has your love; he does NOT want to lose it.
Jamil loves you, he truly does. He does NOT want to blow this opportunity to have someone he genuinely cares about.
Jamil decides all of this as he softly smiles, and cleans the kitchen table.
He then proceeds to feed you the fruit salad with a bigger smile on his face.
Pomefiore:
Vil Schoenheit:
👑 I headcanon Vil to have a bit of a softspot for babies.
👑 Especially those cuter ones-
👑 All babies are cute ofc-
👑 He also likes kids a bit.
👑 They have this innocent sort of vibe that he wants to protect.
👑 Unless they're like Neige.
👑 If they ARE like Neige, Vil is... a bit more... cold to the child.
👑 So when he is tasked with taking care of you, he's a bit excited.
👑 Especially when he sees how beautiful you are!!
👑 He dresses you up and would take pictures of and with you.
👑 He posts some; but often keeps most in a personal album.
👑 He teaches you proper etiquette and good manners too.
👑 But he's a lot more gentler with his approach.
👑 He would often do little bondings with you, by teaching you somethings, or showing you something (like magic).
👑 So when you call him, 'dad', Vil is... emotional.
👑 He's very proud of you and himself that you have learned to trust and love him enough to warrant you calling him 'dad'.
👑 He doesn't cry, per se; but his heart is melting on the inside.
👑 In his mind, he's patting himself on the back too.

"Alright, my beautiful child, this is called a...", As Vil teaches you some child-safe makeup products, you carefully and attentively listen to him.
You had seen Vil putting on makeup, and had asked him about them. So, after finishing his routine, he pulls out some child-safe makeup.
Vil's schedule was surprisingly pretty open today, so he had lots of time to explain and talk to you.
He also demonstrated how to put makeup (he used a doll)
After a while, you had tried putting the makeup on your own.
You were pretty happy and satisfied with your work, so you called for Vil, who was talking to Rook.
"Dad, dad! Look! I put on makeup on my own! How does it look??" You say, walking up to Vil and Rook.
Both of them look toward you and smile.
"Oh my! L'enfant du roi (child of the king, I think? Please correct me if I'm wrong) looks absolutely fabulous indeed! Beauté!!", Rook exclaims with a happy grin on his face.
Vil kneels down to you and wipes a bit of excess lipstick from the tip of your lip, "There. Now you look flawless, my child."
"Thank you, dad!", you grin at Vil.
Vil stops and stiffens. Rook notices that Vil has a big smile on his face, and decides to leave you two on your own.
"Hmm.. I suppose that Poemfiore officially has a new princex (gender-neutral term for prince/ss?? I think??) then." Vil says as he softens his smile.
He picks you up and goes to the Pomefiore Dorm Lounge to call for a meeting regarding his now-child.
Ignihyde:
Idia Shroud:
Ahhh... I'll be honest... I really don't see Idia as a great father-figure honestly...
Also, I don't think he'd even be good enough to even be near a child-
He'd probably freak out and keep the child away from his room.
And probably not let them out of something-
He also might not feed the kid properly-
If anything, he might be just as bad as the kid's before-parents-
No offense to anyone here who really wanted to see Idia's part, but I just DON'T see him doing it...
Again, I'm so so sorry.
Diasomnia:
Malleus Draconia:
🐉 For this, I'm making you a human-
🐉 But anyway, Malleus has a bit of experience with taking care of a child.
🐉 He helped Lilia take care of Silver.
🐉 And Silver seems healthy enough!
🐉 That is... comparing it to a baby who Lilia feeds-
🐉 But anyway, he asks Lilia for advice a lot sometimes.
🐉 But he does mostly spend time with you.
🐉 He's mostly in Diasomnia anyway, so he has lots of time for you.
🐉 He tries to keep you away from Sebek-
🐉 When he IS busy, he has Lilia take care of you.
🐉 Or he keeps you nearby and has magic entertain you while he's gone.
🐉 Malleus is painfully aware of how long, or rather short, human life is.
🐉 He knows that he might be the one to see you grow up, get independent, and possibly leave.
🐉 He also knows that he might be the one to have to see you off of the living world.
🐉 He knows this, and knows that he shouldn't get attached.
🐉 But Malleus believes that as human lives are fleeting, he should savor and value their lives while they were still living.
🐉 So Malleus allows himself to get attached with the child of man.
🐉 He allows himself to get lost in even the tiniest moments spent with you.
🐉 So when you call him 'dad', Malleus is reminded once again of how fleeting your life will be compared to even a quarter of his.
🐉 Malleus gets emotional and promises himself and you to always keep you safe and loved.

"This is an example of a gargoyle statue, my child. While they may seem intimidating, gargoyles are actually used as a gutter for houses. Not everything is as it seems.", Malleus tells you as he points you to one of the gargoyles in Ramshackle.
He had asked Yuu/MC if he and his child can go around Ramshackle to see the gargoyles and were allowed.
Now, Malleus was walking around holding you in one arm.
"Like you?", you ask Malleus.
"Hm? What do you mean, child of man?", Malleus questions.
"You said that not everything is as it seems right? Like you! At first, I thought that you were scary and might be mean to me. But you're actually really nice! You're kind and patient with me. Not like they were... you're a great person! I love you, dad!!" You explain.
Upon hearing your words, Malleus stops.
For the first time in a while, Malleus is unsure of what to feel. Yes, he feels quite amused that his child admits to thinking that he was scary; but he also feels very touched. Touched that this child thinks of Malleus as their father.
Malleus softly smiles and produces some magic fireflies to fly around you.
Even though you have seen this magic trick time and time again, you still feel very fascinated seeing them.
"I love you even more, my firefly."

HANGING OUT WITH THE OCTATRIO « short fic in HC style?
the octatrio gets to hang out with the little prefect!
⌗ the only reason you were allowed to visit was grim, who was there to keep you safe from anything dangerous. though, the tweels and the school's best conman knew better than to exploit a literal child.
⌗ first of all, the leech twins are having an absolute field day. as soon as you arrive at octavinelle, you're immediately dragged to the lounge and they give you free food! grim is skeptical but he literally can't resist the free food so he let's his guard down a little. after the meal, they lead you to the vip room. azul sits there, doing paperwork, and has yet to even notice your presence. he had no idea you were coming?!
⌗ now, i headcanon that azul is afraid of smaller children. not because he's a scaredy-cat or crybaby, but because little kids are mean. no matter who you are, and azul knows it. he was bullied and although he knows he isn't bullied anymore (he grew up n glowed up, obviously) he knows that kids nowadays, ESPECIALLY ON LAND, are cruel. he'll be walking down the street and a group of first graders will start making fun of how he walks or how he dresses and suddenly azul feels as if he's underwater again.
⌗ when azul finally looks up and notices you, he wants to usher you out. where did the eels even go?! (azul never complains about his workers not fully using their break, but just this once, he wishes floyd and jade would come visit him during work hours. take this thing away.) you just sit on the couch and azul is freaking out. you stare at his face and think "man, his eyes are actually a really cool color." and he thinks you're thinking of ways to degrade him.
⌗ after the longest, most awkward staring contest, he asks you about school. that's what you're supposed to do, right?! azul doesn't handle children well, especially not some kid from another world with a talking cat for a bodyguard. speaking of cat, grim is always glaring at azul. he is not afraid to bare his claws. the eels come back.... in bathing suits! they're inviting you to go swimming, and azul is coming too! azul wants to argue that somebody has to watch over the lounge but then floyd announces that he closed early. now azul is fuming but when he's about to yell at floyd, you look up at him with hopeful eyes. "let's go swimming, 'zul!"
⌗ .... so know you're all at the pool, floyd is teaching you how to swim with jade and azul sits by the edge, still fully dressed (minus the hat)... afraid to get in. he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of you. (like i said, he's probably scared of little kids cause they're mean.) grim is laying off to the side, one eye opened as he makes sure floyd isn't trying to drown you. the twin eels teach you their favorite underwater games while you teach them your favorite pool games. marco polo is so funny, literally get azul to join and he has not clue what he's doing. floyd keeps luring him the wrong way and jade dives underwater to grab his ankle or something to bring him down. he eventually just opens his eyes and goes straight for the first eel he sees, but he's a slow swimmer. in both forms.
⌗ after you've played your little heart out, you go back to mostro lounge and sit in the vip room with everyone. azul is doing more work and refuses to face you or the twins, still embarrassed at the game of marco polo. jade wants to educate you about mushrooms but you don't understand what he's talking about and it shows. he opts to just tell you about life under the sea, with floyd telling you funny stories here and there. the only time azul pipes in is to throw a nearby book at floyds head when he tried to tell you about azul being bullied. floyd says it was funny to see him so defenseless.
⌗ after eating a final meal, azul takes you back to whoever has you for the night. a full day passed. he won't admit to anyone other than you, but he did enjoy having some childish fun with you. you seem to have taken a liking to him and you both and seemingly friends now! yay! maybe next time you come over, you can help out at the lounge? tell him a little more about your world? he's just so happy to see a child actually enjoying their childhood, unlike him, who literally suffered.
they spent so much time with you, they didn't even notice making his escape with a stolen fish in his mouth.
tysm for requesting! i've finally found the free time to post!! as always, if you'd like me to rewrite this a certain way, just shoot me another ask!! i had a lot of fun writing down silly stuff!! originally, i was going to just do general headcanons on what hanging out with them is like (if you want i can totally do that too!!), but i somehow ditched that idea?? anyways, hope you like it (´ ω `♡)
