Day 7:Panic Attack-Poisoned-Exhaustion- “No, no hospitals”
"No, No hospitals," Crowley tells Ace when Deuce threw him into the chandelier.
"No, hospitals needed," he exclaims when Ace, Yuula, Yuuto, Grim, and Deuce get back from the dwarf mine.
"No hospitals," Ace chokes out when he has trouble breathing with Riddles color around his neck.
"No hospitals," Deuce grits out after his panic attack outside of Sam's store.
"No hospitals," Ace gurgles as Yuula and Deuce drag him away from riddle's overblot form.
"We don't know any hospitals," Yuula admits when Yuuto see's their scars and bruises.
"We don't need a hospital," Trey tells them when they ask if he's okay.
"It's not hospital worthy," Ace laughs, when the spelldrive game Leona challenged them to caused him to breathe heavy.
"I can't afford a hospital," they overhear Ruggie say to Jack.
"No hospitals," Yuuto jokes when Yuula sees his neck after the tournament.
"No hospitals," Ace laughs, their private little joke, when Yuula and Yuuto see his and Deuces head.
"No hospitals," Jack grunts when Jade and Floyd rough house him a little too hard.
"No hospitals," Yuuto laughs, forcing back coughs, when Jack and Yuula find him in the aftereffects of Jade and Floyd kicking them out of Ramshackle.
"We can't go to a hospital," Yuula admits when Jack caught her patching Yuuto up.
"Hospitals can't help," Jack wheezes after his potion stops working early.
"No hospital," Yuuto screeches when he won't stop shaking. Even after everything.
"The hospital can't fix this issue," Yuu snaps at Azul when he asks if she needs to see a doctor after Jamil throws her and the rest to the edge of the Scarabia dorm.
"No hospitals," Yuula and Yuuto laugh when thy see Ace, Jack and Deuce again.
"No Hospitals?" Grim asks, When he's sees Yuula's sunburns and Yuuto's purpling fingers.
"No hospitals," they agree.
"You aren't going to check that at a hospital?" Epel asks when he sees Ace's scars.
"No hospitals," Ace snickers.
"You aren't going to get that checked at a hospital?" Ace laughs when he and Epel end up frozen from Vil's magic.
"No hospitals," Epel jokes back when he has trouble stomaching food.
"No hospitals," Yuula agrees, when Yuuto drags her away after Vils overblot.
"No hospitals," Jack snorts nodding to Epel in acknowledgement.
"Hospitals won't save us now," Epel snarks when STYX drags away most of the dorm leaders and Jamil.
"A hospital can't fix a robot," Yuuto laughs when Epel asks if ortho is okay.
"A hospital would not be helpful for me." Ortho admits while patching Yuuto and Epel up.
"No Hospitals," Epel, Yuuto, and Ortho say in unison to a frazzled and worried Yuula.
"No Hospitals can help," They hear Lilia tell Malleus at his retirement party.
"No hospital," Yuuto jokes with Deuce when he sees him.
"No hospitals," Yuula wheezes out when Sebek has to carry her after Malleus's overblot form attacks her.
"No hospitals," Ace chokes out when he realizes they might all die inside a dream Malleus created.
"No Hospitals," Sebek whispers when Yuula catches sight of the gushing wound he's hiding.
"No Hospitals," Yuula agrees as she drags him over to Ortho to be checked on.
"No hospitals," The first years will say, knowing that the other will understand the meaning.
Twisted wonderland Make it worse au UPDATED for Nov
Masterlist without the summary (hasn't been updated in a bit)
To begin:
This whole story was based on the au where the first years got a little more hurt than they let on during the story.
It's basically if things had been a bit more dangerous and ended a bit worse than in canon.
SO it has a lot of not mentioned stuff that doesn't make sense even in the context of canon.
To begin there are two Yuu's.
Yuula and Yuuto. Yuula is the oldest by two years. She and Yuuto sandwich the first years in terms of age. Yuuto is a year younger and Yuula is a year older.
They both were brought to NRC however only Yuuto is 'allowed' to be a student considering Crowley only saw him during the entrance ceremony, and then later mistook Yuula for Yuuto during the chandelier scene.
Yuula and Yuuto decide to play along with this assumption under the fear that Crowley would kick Yuula or them both out if he knew she was also there.
It was also under the assumption Crowley would double their debt. (yuula is also a little worried about other things but Yuuto doesn't really pick up on that.)
So-Yuula disguised herself to look more like her brother for emergency scenarios. This was under the assumption that Crowley was extremely negligent and wouldn't pay attention. The first day of school basically proved that. They both go by Yuu.
Most people don't care enough to notice this although a few have some assumptions.
Back to the plot->
During the entrance ceremony, Yuula woke up in a separate coffin and ended up running into Ace and Epel. They all ended up running from the houswardens and eventually became witness to the whole ceremony disaster. Yuula followed Crowley and Yuuto to Ramshackle. (Where Am I?)
Yuuto was the one who wanted Grim to stay, Yuula though annoyed allowed it.
Yuuto, previously had received some bad burns from grim, and the magic the headmaster used on the wounds healed them like a burn cream would, but unfortunately do to the severity of the burns Yuuto could still see some faint scarring because of that, and thus Yuula and Yuuto both held a little bit more of a grudge against Grim.
In the morning when the whole 'you will be janitor' thing happened, Yuula had Yuuto stay home while she went with Grim. this was for many reasons, but mainly she wanted to keep Grim away from her brother.
She ends up running into Ace the same way as canon, and he does recognize her mostly from the day before, and he does comment on her shorter hair (she chopped it off halfway so her brother and her could look more similar.) He didn't bully Yuula as much becasue he thought she was both a he, and had magic. So he was confused for a while why people were insisting that Yuula didn't have magic since he was with her during the magicless reveal that Yuuto had.
Grim and Ace still end up fighting though and the rest of canon still happens. Crowley still makes grim and her students and her a prefect, so because of that she has more incentive to keep her identity hidden.
When Yuula goes back to Ramshackle her brother suggests they swap out to keep the ruse going so that people just assume she changes looks often. Yuula agrees because they both think it would be funny and it would help everyone get used to any 'discrepancies'.
Later at night when ace comes to the dorm he sees both her and Yuuto and figures out the double thing. He assumes first that Yuuto is actuaoly trying to mooch off of Yuula and tries to kick him out for her. Yuula and Yuuto both decide to explain then since Ace had already seen the truth. Ace after this realizes that Yuula's a girl although she didn't explain it and agrees to help.
He has trouble breathing with the collar on so the Yuu's help. (Just grin and bear it)
The heartsabul arc happens but a little more bloody, Yuula is the 'Yuu' most of the time due to her 'people skills' and her brothers burns still healing. Ace ends up with a large gash on his front (Not a big deal) and Yuula though she's terrified stitches him up. Yuula and Deuce both also have some scars but not as bad as Aces. (scar reveal)
Deuce finds out when he stays at ramshackle.
Leona also never met Yuu in this arc
Sometime between this and scavenclaw (Faded polaroid) happens.
Yuula does end up with injuries in her legs and arm that would cause her some issues so her brother Yuuto swaps with her for the Leona arc.
Ace although Yuula wants him to just take a break at Ramshackle with her, goes to do the scavenclaw arc anyway.
Halfway through the whole group is somewhat beat up investigating and Yuuto ends up continuing the arc despite Yuula telling he should stop.
Yuuto did however agree to let Yuula handle the 'school' portion of the work which led to Multiple scavenclaw students also framing 'Yuu' for multiple separate incidents to break the headmasters trust in her and keep her of their trail. ("I don't want to hear it")
During this arc, they all get hurt however jack is especially guilty after the incident with both Ruggie (Self sacrifice)and Yuuto getting parts of them turned to sand .
As part of his sorry to Yuuto he helps Yuula hide her scent so no one can tell she's not Yuuto.
Sometime after this, Deuce gains a stalker and ends up being kidnapped. (Stalker)He manages to escape but due to bloodloss he ends up fainting. (presumed dead)The freshmen eventually find him. (waking up disorientated)
After this Yuula insists on taking Yuuto's place while he heals and does so convincingly for a while, then the octantavile trio pull their stunts, however this time around they more so coerced the freshmen with threats rather than the freshmen willingly going.
Yuuto finding out went to confront the trio only to end up coerced into giving away ramshackle as collateral, this was due to the increasing amount of students begging him to save them as well as him accidently backing himself into a corner. Azul also threatened to out his sisters status as a female student, however he believes he is only outing 'yuu' as a girl and not yuula. He hasn't realized they are two people.
Ace and deuce don't know about this.
Yuula finds out eventually when she gets back from classes and finds both Grim and Yuuto left outside ramshackle with whatever possessions they have. Yuuto injured and congested due to the pollen ends up having a minor allergy attack. Yuula freaks out and they end up sitting in the rain for a bit while she tries to find a way to lower it with the little medical experience she has. (No place to go)
They end up running into Jack who causes his allergies to worsen. Yuula freaks out again. Jack offers to take her to his dorm but Yuula explains that might make it worse. In the end she decides to go to crewel.
Crewel seeing what's going on offers to help. He explains that Yuuto will be out of commission for a while and offers to take him to the hospital. Yuula refuses and so crewel has him in a warded off section of the infirmary in the time being. Yuula goes to scavenclaw after.
Leona is annoyed and Yuula still holds a grudge because of her brother. She doesn't ask him for help, only jack. (I'm worried about you) Jack asks for Leonas help and when he refuses Yuula gets upset and tells him he owes her. Leona eventually agrees.
Most continue as normal with exception of Azul being confused by her because of her differences to Yuuto. (Running out of air)Jacks potion also ends up breaking while he's under water and he almost drowns. (Drowning)
Azuls overblot goes as normal.
Yuuto is upset about all of this, but isn't able to leave the infirmary still. (Don't leave me here)
Sometime after this, Grim ends up getting doused with a potion as a revenge prank by one of the octainvile students. He bites Yuula and she ends up needing to stitch up her own would due to yuuto being too freaked out as well as sick and Ace, Deuce, and Jack being unable to. (Animal bites), Ace and Jack take him away for a while while she heals.
By the time holidays roll around both Yuuto and Yuula are almost all healed, however Yuuto is still pretty sick due to his lowered imune system so crewel advises that he and Yuula either go home with him, to the hospital ("No, no hospitals"), or stay in the infirmary with Yuula taking care of him. Yuuto and Yuula want to agree but due to crowley forcing them to take care of the fairies they have to stay at the school. ("I can't do this.")Crowley gives them a shared phone to use still not realizing they are more than one person. Ace, Deuce and Jack teamed up to get them shared walkie talkies just in case. They offer to let them go home with any of them but both Yuu's refuse. Grim is given back.
Yuula ends up getting 'kidnapped' by jamil a couple days into all of this, and brought to scarabia. Jamils mindcontrol influenced her thoughts more than anyone realized and she unintentionally forgot about her brother until Grim brought Azul and Floyd with him, leaving Jade to take care of Yuuto. (Mind control)
Azul and the others don't realize the mindcontrol went that far, only Kalim knows. Things go the same as in canon for most of the rest. Yuuto ends up coming to see her with Ace, Deuce and Jack, Kalim finds out about the duo and offers to help hide their secret.
He ends up paying to help fix the rest of ramshackle for her and Yuuto.
In the after affect of this Yuuto has the beginning of frost bite and Yuula has bad sunburns as well as multiple scars from landing on the sand wrong and fighting jamil. She also has issues remembering certain things.
When everyone gets back, Epel ends up coming back early due to Vil requesting him for extra training, and gets burried under snow. Yuuto finds and rescues him. Epel doesn't realize this is the prefect or Yuu and thinks him to be a random student. ("everything hurts")
Most of the VDC goes as normal, (sleep deprovision)(A game of roulette)Yuuto will be acting as manager most of the time and Yuula hiding out in Kalims dorm in the meantime, Jamil doesn't know about this and most of the scarabia students don't realize. Epel ends up becoming close to them over this time period, and bonds with Yuuto in punching vil during his overblot.
Epel finds out about the double thing after he first meets yuula again. (they first met at the intro ceremony with ace) (Do you remember)
(No one will find you)
The next arc has Yuuto playing at being Yuu while Yuula stays at Ramshackle. When the dormheads and Jamil get kidnapped Yuuto doesn't tel her and thus she doesn't know until Kalim goes to tell her.
Yuuto meanwhile goes through the STYX arc with grim, Epel, and Ortho pretty quickly. (head injury) He ends up getting hurt but Ortho helps heal him and Epel. (explosion) They go back and Yuula having freaked out about their disappearance scolds them.
Afterwards she blackmails ortho into keeping her brother and friends safe.(Blackmail)
(Feverish and delusional)
For the next overblot Yuula and Yuuto get separated, Yuula mostly staying with Sebek while Yuuto ends up convening with silver, Ace and Deuce nd the others.
Sebek and Yuula end up kept outside the dream due to idia's protection. Yuula ends up injured and faints pretty quickly after Malleus attacks her though in anger.(Broken bones) Sebek carries her through despite also being wounded. After the overblot Yuula drags him to be checked by ortho. (Abandonment issues)
Sebek knows about Yuula and Yuuto due to partnering with Yuula during history and Yuuto during Alchemy, later when he was brought to Ramshackle to do the projects he realized. He made a promise not to tell due to them both blackmailing him.
Sometime during this, someone hacks into orthos systems while he and Yuuto are doing a task for Crowley.(Falling from a high place) Ortho ends up falling to the ground with Yuuto in his arms and crashing. Sebek finds them, panics, and tries to save them in the after math. ('I don't feel a pulse") (You aren't looking so good)
After this overblot the government gets involved in NRC and end up finding out about the interdimensional duo. Ace finds out and attempts to stop them but is knocked out after messaging the others. (-"It's too late they're inside")They attempt to take Yuuto first but are foiled by crowley, ("i wish you were dead")eventually they go after Yuula. (Pre-mortem autopsy)
They capture grim and Yuula while the others are distracted looking for him and Ace. They go and try to experiment on her and grim who freaks out overblots in attempt to save her. He is able to control his form enough to get her back to Ramshackle at which he fully overblots.
Epel and Jack end up finding Yuula and grim first (Nausea), but are forced to run do to Grim not being able to perceive any of the people he knows during his overblot. Meanwhile Sebek manages to find Ace(Running on adrenaline).
Day 18: Abandonment Issues-Used as Bait-Unconventional Weapon- “We can’t leave them”
"We can't leave them," Sebek argues, aggravated at the readiness of these teenagers. "We can-" Ace Trappola turns to glare at him.
"Why not. They want to play pretend they can play." Sebek wished to snap at him, to bite back, however for once he knows that won't work. So he grits his teeth and explains.
"Malleus-Sama will die from the overblot, he will bring everyone else with him too.
"Is that so bad?" Deuce murmurs and Sebek wants to punch him. "They get to be happy and we get to be safe."
"SO your saying we should let them all die?" he asks incredulously.
"I'm saying that maybe they'd rather be happy than here." Deuce tells him, looking down guiltily. Sebek can't understand it. He just can't. Because Malleus was everything to him and leaving him behind would mean he would-
"No," Sebek argues, "I know you don't-"
"Know what!" Yuuto snaps, speaking up for once. "That were foolish and selfish humans with no loyalty." He glares at Sebek. "Well I don't care. I owe them nothing."
Sebek knows but he can't-
"That's not what I was trying to say," he cries out. "I just I know they doesn't mean anything to you but they means a lot to me!" Deuce looks away and for a moment Sebek feels guilt coming from them coming off in waves.
"Why do you care about them so much when they could hardly care at all for you," Yuuto asks him, no longer angry just defeated.
Ace looks at Yuuto then sighs. "We'll...We will help you Sebek, just don't come at us when it all goes wrong." Sebek slumps, just a little relived to have them on his side.
Over his shoulder he feels Yuula shift and he clutches her tighter for a moment.
"What will we do though?" Deuce asks. "Malleus is way stronger than any of us you know?"
Sebek, Yuuto, and Ace both consider this before Sebek looks at Ace and Ace looks back at Yuuto. They all look to Deuce.
"Yuula," he says again, this time more clearly. "I don't think I'm comfortable being alone in the same room as Jamil anymore."
"Please." His eyes had this guilty watery shine to them that Yuula knew wasn't even needed.
He didn't need to beg for decency. No one should need to, really, but that was a conversation Yuula wasn't able to have.
"That's okay. I'll help," She assured, watching as he slumped.
Kalim, reasonably, can't leave, not the school, and not as housewarden. This whole thing was a mess for many reasons, but had it been any worse and Jamil's fears about him and his sister might have become true.
Yuu, despite how much she was angry at him, knew they weren't out of the woods, yet.
If Kalim and Jamil weren't careful, the metaphysical sword would be quick to end him.
Kalim had already realized this as well, even if no one else, aside maybe Azul had.
(But Azul didn't care, not like Kalim, and unfortunately, Yuula did.)
Yuula wasn't doing this for Jamil, but for Kalim. They both knew that.
Yuula hated Jamil too much to want to do anything for him. If anything, it was for Jamil's sister and Kalim.
"Ramshackle is always open, to just you," she emphasized, seeing him nod in relief. "However, I know you probably...I know...I have a lot ftime to myself when 'Yuu' is going to school and stuff, so I could always be open to studying or...partying." She looked away.
"Even if you just need a friend, Yuula would be open to it." No one knew Yuula existed; they only knew Yuu. So if Yuuto wanted to go to school in her place and attend to her duties, then Yuula could spare a few moments to play at being Yuula.
It was for Kalim.
She couldn't leave him alone with Jamil.
Next to her, she heard a shudder, then a wet and horrible sob.
Turning quickly, she watched as Kalim pushed away his tears.
"Thank you." She let out a quiet sigh of relief. Ignoring her own tears, as she shook next to her friend.
Day 19:-Animal Bites-Self-surgery-“Not everyone makes it out”
"It's really fine Grim, Yuula and Yuuto will be okay." next to Deuce Jack nods, a less than reassuring smile on his face. Deuce and him both actually seem to be grimacing more than anything.
Grim senses this and shrinks back, moving his face to hide in his paws.
They both notice the way he shakes and shivers and Ace feeling just a little bad for the creature goes and grabs his blanket.
"You didn't mean any of it Grim," Ace tells him again. "And your henchmen have probably already forgiven you." Yuuto might not have, but Yuula probably did by now.
Or...well. She might still hold a slight grudge from the allergy incident, Jack considers with a wince. It wouldn't be from this one but the allergy incident on the other hand.
"I bit my henchwoman," Grim whimpers, and from the corner of his eye Jack sees Ace twitch.
"She's okay though." Ace grunts out, draping a large blanket over the creature.
"Yuuto is upset." Grim murmurs, and Jack winces. Yuuto is surprisingly easy to upset considering his sister but Grim and Yuuto didn't fight often.
"Not everyone makes it out unhurt in these types of relationships Grim." Ace soothes, and Jack doesn't get how that can help.
"What do you mean," grim asks, just as confused as Jack is.
"When you care a lot about someone your bound to hurt them eventually." Ace clarifies. "It's just how life goes." Grim shuffles back with a whimper hiding under the blankets.
"Ii don't want to hurt my Henchmen."
"But you did," Ace tells him. "you hurt Yuula and you've upset Yuuto and now what's important is that you do your best to fix it."
Jack supposes he can see the validity in that argument. Ace is surprisingly good at this.
"Can I really do that?" Grim asks and it's then that Jack sees Ace pause whatever task he's doing.
"It'll take a lot of work Grim." is what Ace tells the cat. Jack shuffles back a little bit, the only one aside from Ace who's realized that wasn't a yes.
- -
"That was..." Jack doesn't know what to say when he and Ace can finally talk alone. He thinks he wants to just curse at him.
"Yuula had to do self-surgery because her brothers hands weren't steady enough, and the rest of us didn't know how to stich" is all Ace says. His eyes are blank and his posture relaxed. If Jack didn't know better he would have thought everything was fine.
"I..." he had almost forgotten about that with everything. He's feels guilty over it. Leaving her alone had been what she and her brother wanted, but all in all it wasn't very fair to do so. Yuula hated stitching up people, and although she was the only one with experience to do so because of NRC's lack of a nurse, it wasn't fair to make her do it on herself. Even Jack would have trouble doing that.
"Grm didn't mean to," Ace starts again, something distinctly tired in his tone. "But he still did."
