Winter Night Thoughts.

mother of lumas🌟

Man the plot bunny is really at it in after part 1 of the nightmare.

So many interesting directions I could go for events occuring in response to the last paragraph in part 1.

Like what about the person who knock on Aria's door? Who was it? Why were they knocking at her door? What have they heard, if anything?

And then there's Aria.

Where did she end up? What area or situation did Aria teleport herself into?

Is Aria alone or not? Is she stuck at this new location?

So many entertaining ideas. My brain is very entertained with where I ended part 1.

I did have a specific scenario vaguely planned out before I started writing part 1. However I could have that be another night.

I mean who said Aria teleporting away after a nightmare was a one time thing. Obviously I'm not having my poor girl experience nightmares daily, but maybe once every two weeks max, however would like it be once every few months minimum.

I'll figure it out later, probably

For now I'll have fun daydreaming about Aria and the twst Bois for a while.

Maybe even throw a Yumi in the daydreaming as well.

As you might've seen or notice. I have finally finished the waking up at NRC prologue part for my children of laughter twst Au! :D

Which I have recently posted a few minutes ago under this post.

I honestly dunno how active I'll be on this blog in the near future, in terms of posting any more content here that is.

I'm just posting here whenever I finish writing anything I want to post like fanfics.

However writing fanfics will require inspiration or motivation to strike me first during my free/spare time.

Aria Whitecourt and Yumi

Backstory of current timeline, (T3)

Content warning: mentions someone almost getting hit by a car.

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

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

Sometime between ages 6-10 for Aria. With both Yumi and Deuce 2 years younger than her, at the White Rabbit festival. Yumi was running after a ball she dropped and almost got run over by a car. Aria managed to grab Yumi and teleported them away to safety. However, the place they found themselves in was another world, one without magic.

Yumi just met Aria and was playing catch with Aria and Deuce right before the two of them both ended up in the magic less world unable to teleport back. Yumi teleported on instinct and upon arrival her magic was being suppress in this new world they found themselves at.

Yumi is the same age as Deuce or a year younger than him.

She doesn't remember anything from before ending up in the magic less world as a child. So she has no memories of Twisted wonderland and if she has any it be vague and she thinks they were just fever dreams and denies them possibly being real.

Yumi doesn't believe in Arias stories of twisted wonderland. They are clearly just young Aria's exaggerated tall tales that Aria just won't move on from. There's no way she or Aria came from another world, let alone one with magic.

So both Yumi and Aria end up as orphans in the magic less world and stayed at the same orphanage during their childhood.

Yumi got adopted first by a kind loving family and has siblings (haven't decided fully on specifics for them, like are they older or younger than Yumi? and how many are there?).

Aria gets adopted year(s) later than Yumi by a sweet elderly couple who lives in the same neighborhood as Yumi. So, Aria & Yumi reunite as neighbors and even attended the same school tho Aria is a upperclassman to Yumi at the school they attend.

They either became friends before Yumi was adopted back at the orphanage or shortly after the two reunited.

Now a year or few months prior to ending back up on twisted wonderland again. The grandparents that are raising Aria passed away and Yumi's family has adopted her. Though Aria is still mourning and isn't feeling comfortable living with Yumi's family she feels like a burden and most importantly feels out of place and like she doesn't belong.

Basically Aria is still probably in the depression state of mourning over the elderly couple who took care of her not that long ago in her eyes.

For waking up at NRC. Yumi and Aria wakeup during Ace & Deuce's entrance ceremony like in twisted wonderland game. However, Deuce won't be able to recognize Aria. She has changed enough appearance wise that it's reasonable to not recognize her at first glance, it was over 5 years ago.

Now Aria and Yumi are both related to a Twisted wonderland character like in the twisted wonderland return home au's I've read and enjoyed immensely. However, i will not be revealing who they are related to you in this post.

Timeline 1, Timeline 2

Missing Heartslabyul student panic: Riddle, Trey, & Cater (pov headcanons)

This fanfic Series idea/intro, Aria OC bio, Ace pov, Deuce pov,

In which Aria is missing from the dorm one night and a fellow Heartslabyul student finds out she has disappeared and might be in trouble.

Trey: was up late at night heading to the kitchen to stress bake. However on his way to the kitchen he hears Aria's shout of "let me go!". He was able to make out the words and distinguish the feelings behind her words to a point.

Might have Trey try to handle the situation on his own.

Cater: is doomscrolling at night after failing to fall asleep multiple times. From his dorm room Cater hears Aria's shout and decided might as well go and investigate.

Hopefully Cater will have an easier time falling asleep after seeing and possibly handling whatever he overheard was. After a while of fruitless searching for Aria/answers to her disappearance. Cater might go and get Trey involved if he's worried or unable to convince himself that Aria is fine and will be back sometime tomorrow.

Riddle: Probably went downstairs in middle of night for similar reasons to catching Ace eating his tarts in book 1. Might've caught someone else breaking the rules and then heard Aria's shout.

Though if he's the one that knocked on Aria's door maybe it would be stern knocks instead of hesitant ones or just did polite knocks?

Riddle doesn't think Aria's disappearance is due to intruders, NRC has stuff in place to prevent/stop them from making it to the dorm rooms. Now Riddle might think other Heartslabyul rule breakers are dragging Aria to join them on heading out to party in the town irresponsibility.

Riddle will either: go back to bed and have a chat with Aria later the next day asking about her disappearance and shout last night, or Riddle will be waiting patiently for the Aria's return. Expecting to see a group of Heartslabyul rule breakers with her to collar upon arriving back to Heartslabyul.

I had realized I did not want to write out all 5 different Heartslabyul scenarios in novel form. So I have summarised these 3 pov versions here as headcanons.

I will not give conclusions yet to this series for any/all povs. I will be more likely to give pov endings in this series after the nightmare series is finished (if or when I finish it). This series and my "The nightmare" series are connected after all.

Missing Heartslabyul student panic, Deuce part 1

Intro, part 1

In which Aria is missing and the Heartslabyul duo finds out she has disappeared and looks for her.

It was supposed to be just another night at NRC. Ace and Deuce sleeping in their dorm room with two other freshmen.

Deuce woke up from a nightmare.

One where he failed to be the honor student he strives to be and has disappointed his mom.

He decided to go downstairs and get a drink. Hopefully it isn't against the Queen of Hearts rule to drink water in the middle of the night but considering the other drink and food related rules he vaguely remembered and heard it's possible he might be breaking another rule without realizing it again.

On his way back from the kitchen, still drinking what remains of his glass of water he hears something distressing.

It was a shout from a student in distress they sound panicked.

Did another student get caught by Riddle breaking the rules. No there wasn't any noise after that, and he was sure the shout wasn't Riddle shouting his signature spell.

He walked over to the area he thought the noise came from and knocked on a few doors. He first knocked on Aria's door but got no response.

He knocked on the next door as a disgruntled student swung the door open clearly grumpy from being woken up.

"What is it!?!"

"can't you see were all trying to sleep, what is so damn important to wake us up this late at night!?" Said the Heartslabyul student.

"I heard a shout come from here and thought someone was in trouble, I don't suppose that was you by chance" Deuce mentioned with a nervous voice as he scratched the back of his neck.

"It wasn't me it clearly came from that one-eyed girl, why don't you tell her to keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep" He grumbled before closing the door on Deuce.

Huh that's strange if Aria was the one who shouted, why didn't she answer the door earlier. Maybe she's still half asleep or perhaps she didn't hear him knock.

Deuce goes back to Aria's door and tries knocking again.

No answer

He tries again.

No answer

Deuce finishes drinking the glass of water still in his hand.

'Should I go in?'

"Hey Aria, it's me Deuce may I come in?"

No answer

Maybe she fell back asleep.

Deuce then proceeds to return his glass of water to the kitchen.

Deuce after returning the empty glass realized. When's the last time he heard Aria shout at all? Maybe during the last overblot.

Hm perhaps this was serious.

Deuce walks back to Aria's door and knocks again.

"Aria are you in there?"

No answer.

Deuce sighs.

"I'm coming in please don't punch me. I'm just worried about the shout I heard from ya earlier" Deuce explained.

Still no answer.

Deuce opens the door slowly. Looks like the door was unlocked, did Aria forget to lock it. She was the only girl sorted into Heartslabyul so Riddle gave her a room to herself since it be against the rules for boys and girls to sleep in the same room and had even made sure Aria's door had a lock on it.

Deuce slowly walks into the room and closes the door behind him.

"Aria you there I heard your shout earlier. Is everything alright?" Deuce said quietly with a tinge of fear and doubt in his voice.

"Aria?' he called out once more.

He made it to her desk and turned on the lamp. Looking at the bed it didn't take long to realize she was not here. Her bed looks like a mess.

'What could have happened to Aria between the shouting and now?'

Back in Ace and Deuce's dorm room.

He left the bedroom and tried looking around for any sight of her before returning to his room.

"Ace! Ace wake up! I think something terrible has happened"

Deuce said as he was shaking Ace awake from their bed.

"Ugh wat time is it? what do you mean by something terrible happen are you sure you're not imagining things or overreacting again Deuce"

"It's [insert time between 3am and 7am here], could you please just help me look for her?"

"Ugh... her? which one are you referring to?"

"Aria, I heard her shout something and she's gone. I'm worried she's seriously missing" Deuce

Really Deuce got him up just because Aria made a loud noise that spooked him and can't find her.

Sighs

"what's in it for me?"

"Huh?"

"I'm not gonna help ya look for a wandering student for you without getting something out of it, so again what's in it for me?"

"uh?" Deuce scratched the back of his head.

"I dunno maybe a [insert bribe, favor or chores to do in Ace's stead here]"

"Man. You're really antsy about this, fine I'll do it but only cause you owe me one" Ace replied.

The two proceeded to search all over Heartslabyul dorm with no luck.

Deuce sighs in relief as the two of them leave their bedroom off to search for Aria.

"Man, this is a drag are you sure she's missing it's not like she's been gone for that long right?" Ace whined.

Deuce scratched the back of his head.

"I dunno I really don't think she leave so suddenly after a shout like that, without it being something serious"

"Well whether she's gone serious or not I don't think we will find her around the dorm anytime soon" Ace mentions.

"Yeah, I wonder where she could be? Oh I know what about Ramshackle!"

"Sure, we can check their next as long as you don't mind waking up that Grumpy cat and incurring Yuu's wrath" Ace said.

And thus the one braincell Heartslabyul duo leaves the dorm and heads to Ramshackle.

Aria Whitecourt backstory

Timeline 2

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

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

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

📌 (differences in timeline start here)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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