Disclaimers: wild animals are not domestic ones and should be approached with caution, don't pet wild animals, they are not pets.
First date:
Surprisingly to no one, your first date is a picnic on a warm Sunday afternoon. A safe place where both of you can enjoy some fresh air, and where Silver can fall asleep and be comfortable.
Also surprisingly to no one, as soon as you both sit down to eat, wild animals start gathering around looking for your boyfriend’s attention, asking for pets and some snacks; which would be cute if a random (huge) boar didn’t plop on top of the blanket you were sitting on along with his piglets.
So there you were: Silver, you, and an entire zoo.
Fortunately though, they were all very respectful and kept to themselves when Silver told them patiently that he would not be able to tend to them as much as he usually would since he wasn’t alone.
The animals took a liking to you quite quickly, since they saw that you meant no harm, and some of them even laid on your lap and let you pet them or rubbed their little heads on your back or just nuzzled your hand and cheeks asking for pets or attention.
It was very peaceful overall, thankfully the weather was nice as well, so you could say that your first date was a success, especially if you took into account how Silver looked at you when you say goodbye for the day and he softly kissed your lips to say goodbye.
Sleepover
Sleepovers with the 1st years are a common occurrence since you tend to study together for finals. Some of the others return to their dorms, like Epel, who knows that he has to or Vil will make him make a presentation about the importance of a 10 step skincare routine again because he could not be bothered to take all his skincare products to Diasomnia; or like Jack, who has a strict morning routine he always follows and cannot do that if he’s sleeping over. In your case though, you usually stay over at Silver’s dorm since it’s more convenient.
Ace and Deuce usually stay as well since they usually need to stay up past curfew (they always tell Riddle that they’re staying over though, getting beheaded is not something they look forward to, ever).
So usually study sessions end up in a very “unromantic” pile of tired teenagers who just want to sleep after hours trying to memorize, except that they’re not so unromantic when everyone else is sleeping and you’re next to the window watching the clouds go by the night sky with Silver, whispering about nonsense just to pass the time while huddled up in a blanket.
Silver doesn’t stay awake very long, but he tries to so he can keep talking to you, even if it’s only for a short while, because he truly cherishes those moments where there is only the two of you, even if he doesn’t say so out loud. You’ll end up cuddling on one of the mattresses on the floor or over a pile of blankets and pillows (which will make you regret staying up so late and not sleeping on a sofa or a mattress like anyone else, only you though, Silver can sleep everywhere) by the end of and waking up to Sebek’s characteristic “GOOD MORNING MY LIEGE”; which, is a bit annoying but if you prepare ahead and pack yourself some nice ear plugs you can still hear him but without your eardrums collapsing.
Possessiveness
Silver is not possessive per se, but he does like keeping you close when he can. He’s always been surrounded by people and everything he’s ever done or had has been shared with others, and it’s not that he dislikes sharing, not at all, he thinks sharing the things you love is beautiful, but with you, he finds that sometimes he likes it better when it’s just you and him enjoying a moment of quiet.
Also, since you’re his first relationship, he’s a bit unsure on how to act; he wants to give you space because he knows that no one should restrict their lover’s (or anyone’s) freedom for their comfort, but he also doesn’t want to look detached or uninterested in your relationship, so finding the balance between nosy and clingy and cold and uninterested is a bit hard for him.
Silver knows he can act a bit aloof sometimes, but overall, he really tries (and succeeds) to show that he cares while maintaining healthy boundaries.
Kissing him
Silver’s kisses are always soft and warm, albeit sometimes a bit weird feeling when he forgets to use chapstick and his lips get a bit dry.
He likes kissing your lips and occasionally your hand, but he adores kissing your cheeks. He’ll give you a quick peck on the cheek if he’s in a hurry because he’s late to class, or he’ll softly press one kiss after another on your face to wake you up after a night studying or stargazing.
He also loves to kiss you when you’re laughing; he just can’t resist when he sees you so happy and filled with unfiltered uncontained happiness.
You truly are one of the most important things in his life and whenever he can, he makes sure to remind you just how special you are.
!!Spoilers for: lost in the book with tim burton's the nightmare before christmas!!
Their dynamic
Both are very passionate people, being a bit (a lot) loud and dramatic.
They are both very devoted to their interests, something that has alienated them from others, so they can understand each other in that area.
Quiet weirdo (kinda) x loud weirdo.
Trouble in paradise (not) + Confessing
The only people qualified to give relationship advice are
Jack and Sally, and they are how they are so you can
expect the kind of presents Skully is going to give the other
boy.
As expected, Sebek is considerably weirded out by Skully giving him shrunken heads or a jar full of eyes; and let's be honest, Skully doesn't really know what he's doing, but if Mr. Jack tells him to do it, he will.
Sebek, on his end, doesn't really want to acknowledge his feelings for the other boy, as he still has a hard time letting go of his prejudices against non-fae people.
Idia has called him out on his tsundere behaviour 1000 times and has been yelled at in response about 1000 times as well.
Fighting against Skully? More like marriage trouble arc.
Poor man looks like a raisin after the fight because of how much he cries.
When trying to lift his spirits after the fight Sebek accidentally confesses his feelings.
The silence following that moment is deafening.
And then Skully breaks down sobbing.
He is so confused. How can someone as noble as Sebek like him? How can he accept this confession? He had already assumed that his feelings were not reciprocated???
Everyone thought they wouldn't get together bc how dense
they are
They made bets
Jade won, of course because he knows everything (he spied them)
Kissing
Both want to kiss the other one (on the lips) but feel incredibly awkward and shy, so they stick at hand holding or cheek kisses.
When Skully finally musters up the courage to ask Sebek if he can kiss him the other nods so frantically it looks as if his head is about to fall off.
The first tries suck, which is to be expected since they have 0 experience.
When they get how to do it properly (without scrunching
their faces like a cat who ate a lemon) they won't stop.
Lots of short kisses and pecking on the lips and cheeks
And hand kissing on Skully's end, obviously. He loves his knight's broad callouse hands, loves how they fit his slender (slightly dry) ones.
Sebek loves staring at his lover's eyes, loves how bright they are, resembling sparks of magic, and loves his fluffy hair (though he'll never admit that last one).

idk if you still take nevermore asks, and if not that’s totally okay!! but might I request a summer camp AU where gn reader and Annabel are both counselors and Annabel is a lifeguard and saves the reader from drowning then tells them off? Take care of yourself!
First of all. I'm so sorry for taking this long to answer. It has literally never happened to me before and I apologise profusely for it. I hope this makes up for the wait. Also, I think I made it 100% gender neutral but if I've slipped a "her" in there please let me know in the comments, I'll fix it right away. Also, don't ask me how but I managed to misspell Annabel's name in 2 different ways on 10 occasions throughout this piece. Thank the stars I checked it thrice. If any other names are misspelled please let me know :'')

Trigger Warnings: swearing, descriptions of drowning, Montresor
It was a particularly humid summer. You were a counselor at camp Nevermore for the 3rd consecutive year, and even though you wanted to say that you’d grown used to every shenanigan the campers (and fellow counselors) could get up to; that couldn’t be more far from the truth.
Sometimes you’d get a group of chill, pretty easygoing kids who at most would stay up late after curfew and maybe, just maybe, throw a fit at being put in a separate group as their BFF. Other times, you’d get feral gremlins posing as children who’d cause enough chaos to make you reconsider your life choices. Like right then. Not only had you gotten a bunch of rowdy kids with too much energy in their bodies, like seriously, what did they feed these kids? Oh, no.
That summer there had been a couple of new additions to the team; a girl with self-esteem issues so bad she should contemplate therapy (and a taste in men just as bad if not worse); a twink that seemed to just fade into the background 50% of the time, and Satan incarnated.
At that point, you weren’t sure what was worse: the incessant screaming and arguing between Ada and the elementary school kids, or the fact that Montresor had managed to make himself the leader of a kid’s cult dedicated to antagonizing the other counselors.
“Ten bucks and you don’t report Montresor missing after I drown his ass on the lake, what do you say?” You sighed, closing your eyes, “Good morning to you too, Berenice.” “Psh, don’t good morning me. It’s never a good morning when that guy is still here.” Said Berenice, frowning while she crossed her arms, staring at said man in the distance.
It was eight in the morning, the campers had just gotten up to get breakfast, ushered by a very grumpy Prospero and an overly-enthusiastic Eulalie; while the rest of you prepared the activities scheduled for the day.
Fortunately, or not, it was supposed to be pool day. The children had been pestering you all about it for days, asking when were they going to go to the pool, how long until pool day, complaining about the heat… Some going so far as to threaten some sort of mutiny proposed by Montresor to “overthrow the bunch of wimps that lived with sticks up their asses. Anyways, you had to get “your” kids to pack everything they needed for the pool, because you were sure as hell that most of them hadn’t done so despite you telling them to the previous night, and had to make sure they wouldn’t forget about anything like their flip flops, towels, swimsuits or sunscreen. You really didn’t want to deal with a couple of 7-year-olds with red blistering skin by the end of the week. It would be unpleasant for everyone, honestly.
And so, after everyone was done eating, you joined them at their cabins to help with the packing.
…After forty minutes of yelling and desperation because one of your campers could not find his towel, you were done, so you and your 15 kids went to join the others at the camp entrance to get to the pool together.
It really was a nice day, not unlike any other pool days you’d gone to. Along with Lenore and Ada (who were bickering as always), you took the kids to the changing rooms so they could leave their belongings in the benches there before going to the pool to hear the lifeguard’s safety instructions.
You’d heard that the previous lifeguard had been temporarily replaced by a fellow counselor, but you had no idea of who had been tasked with that. Deep down though, you kind of hoped that it was Annabel Lee, since you had barely seen her the past few months at the camp.
“If your swimsuit is so uncomfortable then why the bloody hell did you decide to wear it!?” Your daydreaming got suddenly interrupted by the two other supervisors, whose bickering had quickly escalated.
“Well first of all it’s not even that uncomfortable- No it’s not don’t you even start!” Ada exclaimed while pointing her finger angrily at the raven-haired girl, “And second of all, I look great in it! So, excuse me for not wanting to look like something that a cat dragged in like you!”
“Excuse me!? How dare you say that while you look like some knock-off Barbie!? I look perfectly fine while you look like a freaking airhead who’s wearing a swimsuit 2 sizes too small so Prospero notices her ass! Or was it Montresor now, huh!?”
“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME YOU STUPID-?”
“THERE ARE CHILDREN PRESENT!” You finally exploded. “You!” You said looking at a very red Ada, “Shut up, stop complaining and tend to your campers, and if you need to get changed then do so but hurry up!” “And you!” You said pointing at a snickering Lenore “Don’t talk back because it always ends like this! If she’s complaining so much, let her have at it, just frigging ignore her and don’t. swear. In front. Of the kids!”
“Why are you all taking so long, eh!? And what’s going on back there!? Sa Majesté is waiting for everyone to go over the safety procedures and the children are growing impatient! So hurry up!” Yelled Duke from the pool.
Sa Majesté? You only knew one person Duke called that. “Yeah, yeah, we’re coming!”
And lo and behold, there she was, Annabel Lee in all of her sun kissed glory, looking at you three unimpressed as always.
“Well, now that everyone’s here, let’s go over the safety procedures as always, shall we? Make sure to listen carefully because I wouldn’t like to repeat myself. And if you have any questions, please make sure to save them for after I’ve finished!” The blonde said with a smile.
Even though you really tried to focus on what Annabel was saying, you couldn’t help but stare at her and the ease with which she explained everything, moves smooth and practiced, as if she’d always been a lifeguard.
Nothing could shake you out of your stupor; you were on cloud nine and not a soul would be able to get you down from there. Not even your friends, who teased you endlessly about your tiny little crush on the girl after watching you sneaking glances at the blonde throughout the whole morning.
“I think if you stare at her like that for too long you might drill a hole on her head. Or worse, she might even notice your staring.” Mused Pluto, unimpressed.
“Hmm, maybe it would be nice if she noticed, wouldn’t you agree Berenice? Maybe that would spice things up; I swear I’ve seen graveyards have more energy than this.” Said Lenore, already cooking up a plan in her head. “Oh yeeeah, maybe we should call her! Give you a little push wouldn’t hurt, right? Then maybe we’d stop having to see you look at her like that?”
“I agree! I think you should talk to her!” Said at last Eulalie, who seemed the most reasonable of the bunch, even if what she was suggesting was absolutely out of the question. You? Talking with Annabel Lee out of the blue? That looked way too risky. But it looked like you either went and talked to her out of your own volition or the others would get involved. And that. That should be avoided at all cost. You could only shudder as you imagined your friends pulling the most ridiculous and embarrassing stunt of their lives to “help you”.
And so, armed with what little courage you had, you stood from where you were supervising the kids with the other counselors to approach the lifeguard. To do what? You had no idea, maybe try to chat with her? She didn’t look like she was too busy, since the children were just picking up their stuff and drying themselves after the other counselors had told them to do so. Wow, was it snack break already? Time surely flew by
Filled with determination, you failed to notice not only how slippery the floor was, but also a certain brunet sporting a devilish smile that promised no good.
Splash
That was the last thing you noticed before you fell into the pool, followed by a sharp pain in your neck that made your vision darken for a second and water filling your lungs.
You flailed around helplessly as you tried to make out which way was the surface and which way was the floor. Had the pool always been so dark? So deep? Is this how you were going to die? In front of kids?
All of a sudden you were getting pulled to the surface by someone and laid on the wet and warm tiles next to the pool.
You immediately started coughing and spitting the chlorinated water that had just been filling your lungs a moment ago, it burned. As you were gasping for breath, a voice yelled over your coughs.
“I believe I warned you all against running carelessly so close to the pool without paying attention! I stated multiple times to watch out for slippery floors as they can cause a very nasty fall!” Annabel Lee said. “Now, if that’s it for everyone, I’d like to speak with my fellow counselor please. If you all would excuse us…” She said, helping you up.
“I told you all how dangerous and slippery the pool deck can get! Especially with all the children splashing around and using their water guns all over the place! Do you know how irresponsible it was of you to so carelessly run around the pool knowing this?? We were so fortunate all the children had exited the pool to get their snacks; imagine what would have happened if you fell on top of one of them!”
Annabel Lee didn’t seem to waste a second to continue chewing your ear off as soon as you were both “hidden” behind the pool house.
“And what if I hadn’t made it on time!? What if you had hit your head against the pool railing, or the deck? You could have gotten seriously injured or worse!”
At that point, the blonde’s face was just a few inches away from yours; and as she yelled at you the only thing you could do was to just gape at her like a fish out of water. Was that concern in her voice?
“I’m…sorry? I’ll be more careful from now on, promise.” You finally managed to tell her.
Those cherry blossom eyes of her looked at yours for an instant, seemingly filled with loving exasperation.
“Sigh…Just be more careful, alright?” For a second, you felt something warm and soft brushing your lips.
The contact was so brief, you felt as if you had just hallucinated it; brain still filled with chlorinated water from the pool. Your eyes widened, unable to process what just happened.
“Ahem well, seeing as you seem to be well enough, let’s go back with the rest now, shall we?”
You could just stare at Annabel Lee as she brushed a loose strand of her golden hair behind her ear bashfully. A lovely pink blush seemed to start tinting her beautiful face; mirroring yours as your face began heating up as you realized that she’d just kissed you.

1st meeting
You first met Silver while he was passed out at the greenhouse on your way to class. Seeing him sleep so at peace, you first thought that he was like Leona, that he was skipping class, so you decided to wake him up.
At first, you gave him only a few nudges, hoping to wake him up easily, but after 10 minutes of unsuccessful attempts and realizing you were going to be late for class, you decided to just yell at him to wake up.
Seeing his serious and confused expression you were at first scared that you had made him mad, but a second after that, he seemed to realize where he was and instantly got up from the floor.
He then looked at you with that serious expression of his, thanked you after giving you a (very formal) apology and ran to class, leaving you standing there dumbfounded.
Sleeping trouble:
After meeting him, you asked Ace and Deuce if they knew who that boy with short silver hair was. At first, they were a bit confused, since a lot of their classmates fitted the “silver-haired boy with a serious expression”; but when you mentioned that you’d found him sleeping in the greenhouse, it was like a lightbulb had lit above their heads.
“Oh yeah that’s Silver! Yeah, he’s in our year. He’s friends with Sebek and Jack, I thought you guys had met each other?”
Evidently, you had not.
After that first meeting though, you start seeing him more when the first-year gang meets up at the cafeteria. It’s at those short meetings when you see his curse act up: he falls asleep while Sebek is talking, at the food queue, while he’s eating… You kind of feel bad now for thinking that he was just an idiot who liked to skip classes for fun, but he tells you not to worry because you had no way of knowing he was cursed.
His curse is usually a small nuisance, but sometimes it puts him in danger.
It was a warm spring day and you both were at the pool because Vargas thought it was absolutely necessary to learn how to fight in the water.
One moment, you were talking to Jack saying how you thought those exercises were pretty useless since you wouldn’t be needing them anytime soon and how merfolk students had a clear advantage because they didn’t need to go up for air; and the next, you were frantically looking for Silver because he was nowhere to be seen.
If a student from the Coral Sea had not seen him nod off on the side of the pool, he would have drowned. If no one else had noticed he was missing, he would have died.
Miraculously, he got only a bit of water in his lungs, which he coughed up immediately after being brought to the surface; but to say you were horrified by it is an understatement.
Since that incident you make sure to keep an eye on him or at least to keep him away from water.
His past
(Spoilers for Book 7: The Lord of Malevolence, Malleus’ overblot and Silver’s past, read at your own discretion)
Finding out Lilia is Silver’s dad should have surprised you more, but given the circumstances, the only thing you could think about was Silver’s look when he found out who his birth parents were.
The look on his face as he realized that the same people that were responsible for his very own existence were the same that wiped Malleus’ family from the face of Twisted could haunt you for days.
The look on Lilia’s face as Silver saw what he had been trying to hide for decades; that he raised both his enemy’s child and his loved ones’ infant.
The shock on Sebek and Grim’s face as they saw how Silver and the Knight of Dawn were almost identical.
But there was no time to dwell on the past, to think about what could have happened if the war hadn’t started; if a ceasefire, a permanent one, had been reached and respected.
They had a job to do, they had a duty to fulfil, to save the world, to save Malleus, to save Lilia, Silver’s father. And it was exhausting; jumping from dream to dream, seeing one thing more surrealist than the other, committing mail fraud.
If things had not turned out well at the very end you really don’t know what you would have done. Perhaps fighting Malleus by yourself? Yelling at him until he saw reason?
Never mind that, because in the end, you did it. You all won, you woke up, and you got to celebrate with everyone, the living and the gone; and boy if Silver didn’t look beautiful that day: his silver hair and amethyst eyes shining with happiness as he realized that he finally belonged, his shining smile and his laugh as he twirled you across the dancefloor and kissed you as if there was no tomorrow. And in that moment, you thought, maybe Vanrouge wasn’t a bad name, after all.
Part 2 coming soon: 1st date, sleepover, kissing him
Your relationship is doomed right from the very start. He knows that he’ll have to devote his life to taking care of Kalim, and he can’t stand not being there for you more than half of the time.
You spend months on a strange kind of a situationship: he knows he can’t have you but he can’t bear to let you go, something that eats him alive.
He tries to conform to just fleeting glances; too-short conversations; light caresses that last a few seconds every time he hands you something you’ve dropped, and late phone calls that lull you to sleep.
The aftermath of his overblot hurts him even more knowing that even if you love him back, there’s nothing that can be done.
Half of the time it’s Kalim who interrupts your conversations, immediately wanting to talk to you as soon as he sees you.
Fourth year is one of the most bittersweet moments in Jamil’s life; only bested by the moment he got accepted to Night Raven College and got to taste freedom for two weeks before he was told that Kalim would be studying there as well.
You try making promises that you will keep in touch, that you’ll never let your relationship grow cold, but you both know that’s not true.
You both know that at some point you’ll leave Twisted Wonderland and he will be stuck in the Asim manor “helping” Kalim.
It takes a while before he gathers the courage to confess. You are a very dear friend of his and he doesn’t want to lose you. However, he can’t stand having to pretend that he doesn’t have any feelings for you either.
And so, fueled by his determination (and eager to prove Ace that he is not, in fact, a chicken),he decides to ask you out.
Needless to say, it doesn’t go as planned.
At first it looks like he wants to run away, but he reminds himself that he has to do this. And so, he starts talking:
At first it looks like he’s reciting a text by heart while he’s looking straight into your eyes, which, let’s face it; is a bit awkward! But by the half of it, he’s lost all of his bravado and begins stuttering and tumbling over his words only to finish bowing and saying: “...So please go out with me!”
Poor man is a tomato, standing there fidgeting while he waits for your answer. Oh Sevens, please say yes
When you agree to go out with him it’s like someone told him he wouldn’t need to go to Crewel’s classes anymore. My god he looks so happy. If the look of sheer adoration in his eyes is anything to go by, I’d say you just made him the happiest man in all Twisted Wonderland.
First date:
You know Deuce strives to be a model student, a better version of himself; so he wants your first date to be perfect. Or as perfect as it’s going to get.
Since his budget is limited, you’ll probably go to the town’s library or to a free access art exhibition; or if you prefer to do something outdoors, you’ll probably go for a picnic in a nice park (with food made with the help of Trey and Cater, who did not trust Deuce around the kitchen or Ace and Riddle to help) or walk around town window shopping.
If you do end up in town, he’ll probably use this as an opportunity to show you to his favourite blastcycle shop, showing off his knowledge of the various models and characteristics. If only his ability for memorising history events and dates was as good as this.
He’s sorry he can’t take you anywhere fancy, but he swears that when he’s saved up enough he’ll take you to the cinema or to a nice restaurant; and if you’d like to, he’ll give you flowers.
Anniversary + Love languages:
Cater told him that forgetting your anniversary was the equivalent of saying you wanted to break up, so Deuce made sure he marked down in his calendar the day of your first date to celebrate the following year. It gives him something to look forward to, celebrating one year together. Plus, having it written down acts like a little reminder of why he’s improving himself (along with this mother’s birthday and the day he was told he was accepted at Night Raven College).
He takes your anniversary very seriously, and he’ll spend weeks saving up so he can get something nice for you; even if you tell him he doesn’t need to give you anything.
Deuce strikes me as someone who expresses his affection with acts of service and gifts because he finds it easier to show his appreciation for others that way since words evade him sometimes. He might not be very good at giving others compliments, but if you need a helping hand, he’ll always be there for you; and if he knows you want something, he’ll do his best so that you can have it.
As for him, I think he would enjoy quality time and words of affirmation over anything else. He won’t say no to a hug or a small present, but he values greatly when others set some time aside for him since he knows that most around him are very busy people. He also knows that he’s not perfect,that he makes a lot of mistakes, so when someone tells him he’s doing great or even good he feels all fuzzy inside. Please keep complimenting him when he gets something right, he loves feeling like he’s made progress from how he was before.
Arguments
Unfortunately, your views and personality can clash sometimes, leading to disagreements that have escalated once or twice.
Arguments between you two are not very common though since you do your best to communicate your feelings and your reasons for doing things a certain way so even if you don’t always end up agreeing on what you’re doing you both learn to compromise. However, due to Deuce’s hot headed nature and impulsiveness, things can get a bit out of control.
On those rare occasions, you both decide to spend some time apart to cool off and try to think things rationally. Deuce spends that time reflecting on his actions and what has caused him to act the way he has. Again, he is trying his best to be better, so he has done a bit of research on how to de-escalate arguments as well as keeping his anger under control, finding better outlets you know?
It is possible that during that time you see him venting his anger by aggressively painting all Heartstabyul roses red.
Going to the White Rabbit fest
You’ve already gone together when you went with Silver and Epel to visit Deuce’s hometown to help out his mom, but this year’s the first you’ll be going together. Which, come to think of it, doesn’t make that much of a difference, oh well.
I mean, the only difference will be that Deuce’s mom will tease the hell out of his son (she loves him to bits) and use this as an opportunity to dig out every photo album she has to show you; Deuce’s first White Rabbit fest, his looks when he still had his hair dyed…
She insists on taking your picture, wanting to commemorate the moment and while she won’t refuse you helping her out at her stall like last year, she wants you to have fun and enjoy your time at the festival; maybe get a nice clock or a watch or something if you didn’t get to last year.
