Prompt: Your kiss leaves a lipstick mark on his lips.
Pairing: Malleus/Silver x gn!reader
A/N: Ngl, I actually got a little embarrassed while writing this. Dedicated to the biggest Diasomnia simps I know @unknown-aislingand@twstlibrary. I’ll write another version for Lilia and Sebek after classes today but for now… SIMP FOR SILVER. Silver’s part ended up being a makeout session lol
Lilia and Sebek version
MALLEUS DRACONIA
- with your body pinned against his own, malleus leans down and captures your lips in a passionate yet gentle kiss. when he feels you relax, he raises one of his hands to cup your cheek, pulling you as close to him as possible
- his fangs then graze your bottom lip, the pointed ends lightly pricking the soft flesh which draws a quiet whine out of you. believing that he had hurt you, he immediately breaks the kiss and gazes at you worriedly
- he’s confused when you gasp at him with a flustered look, and thinks that maybe you’re still not used to him kissing you—but that thought is quickly discarded the moment you apologise for leaving a lipstick mark on his lips
- his eyes widen for a split second before he smirks somewhat slyly. “mm… then why don’t you try to clean it off for me?” he stops your hand that’s about to wipe the lipstick mark off with your handkerchief. “with your lips, little darling.”
SILVER
- silver has you pressed against one of the walls in an empty hallway. classes have ended for the day, so nobody would be around to witness your intimate act as the knight swoops down to steal a long kiss from your lips
- pulling away slightly, he whispers your name against your lips before leaning in to kiss you again. he then grabs your hips and drags you closer to him, eager to eliminate any distance that exist between your bodies
- as you shakily cling onto him for support, he draws himself back and moves in to gently bite your earlobe, his soft pants echoing in your ear. you gasp sharply at his action, and he begins to plant kisses down your neck
- he pauses upon noticing the rouge marks on your skin and quickly realises that your lipstick had stained his lips. “… your lipstick left a mark on me.” before you could stutter out an apology, he silences you with another kiss and then breaks away with a small smile. “it’s alright, i don’t dislike it.”
Ortho: Found it. It’s a toy that lets you take care of a dragon that you’ve hatched, in a dedicated portable console.
Idia: Yep, it’s a cheap little LCD game attached to a keychain.
Idia: This used to be all the rage when I was younger…
Idia: -And you’re playing with it even now, Malleus-dono?
Malleus: Yes. Long ago, Lilia had procured it as a souvenir when he had traveled to foreign lands.
Idia: (Pfft! One of the world’s top class mages and heir to the throne of the Valley of Thorns… is so crazy about this little kiddie toy? That cracks me up lololol)
Malleus: Just recently, I have learned of a communication function that would allow Dracon-kun to connect to others and make friends…
Malleus: However, it will not function unless there is another such as my Dracon-kun present.
Ortho: The likelihood of anyone around Malleus Draconia-san who would have the same game is…
Malleus: There is none.
Idia: Figured. It’s been over like, 10 years since it was popular and I’m pretty sure they don’t even make this stuff anymore.
Malleus: As I feared, it was not enough to simply wish for Dracon-kun to have more friends, was it…
Idia: Why’re you looking like someone who’s been checkmated…
Idia: I mean, c'mon, this thing was so popular almost every kid on the block had one. Shouldn’t be too hard to dig one up.
Idia: Ortho, look up all online market sites and specialty electronic stores and see if they’re selling this thing. Ah, it’s fine even if its used, just make sure its operational.
Ortho: Understood.
Idia: As a collector I’d normally prefer it in mint condition but in this case, there’s no point if it doesn’t even work.
Idia: There are cases where the electronic toy actually deteriorates faster if you never let it out and get some air.
Malleus: …I have not a clue of what you are saying, however you seem quite talkative today.
Ortho: [148 hits, now displaying the search results]
Idia: Fuhihi!! There you have it, there’s about 148 ‘Gaogao Dracon-kun’ in working condition!
Malleus: Is that true?
Malleus: I am not certain on the ways of procuring goods online, but I can pay for it. Would you be willing to order it in my stead?
Idia: Oh, uh, alright then… and done. It should drop by in a couple of days.
Malleus: …You have my thanks. You have done well today, Shroud.
Malleus: When it arrives, I will be sure to reward you handsomely.
Ortho: I think it’s amazing that you could fulfill Malleus Draconia’s wish so quickly, brother!
Idia: I-I don’t care about being praised for doing something as simple as this…
Malleus: Child of man, why are you covering your right eye? Are you hurt?
Lilia smiling cheekily: This is that one trend I told you about Malleus. Youths have this, “Emo phase” where they are cynical and edgy. Concluding that living is meaningless
Mc: Humans are created to serve a supreme being and is predestined to die with the code embedded in their minds. A structure of “saving grace” that is said to bring transcendency is nothing but a lie crafted to enslave the people through a religious system.
Silver: They’re hiding their bruised eye from running into a lamp post
Mc, flustered and stuttering: YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL THEM!
Lilia: HAHAHAHAHA I can’t believe you didn’t notice the lamp post
Malleus: ಠ_ಠ
Mc: I was too absorbed by my surroundings okay-
Silver: Grim hasn’t stopped laughing and Sebek is still screaming for Ice in the kitchen ever since you all walked in here
Summary: a Tangled!AU with Malleus as Rapunzel, and reader as Flynn
This is also a collab with the talented @myuunji please do check out their blog if you haven’t already!!
“What are you doing?”
“What?” You looked at him as if he’d grown an extra head. “Of course it’s to…”
The world sets his senses ablaze. Malleus is revering at the way he’s lost in it: the sunlight that cast the town in a golden glow, the lanterns and flowers that’s blurring from how the dance spins, and steps, and brings him round and round again.
His partner changes once more, and Malleus hears a laugh that draws his eyes in its direction. Everything slows, it comes to focus on the crinkle at the corner of your eyes, your grin, and the way you looked as if the world couldn’t touch you.
He longs, for a moment, to reach out towards that light - and then the music clicks back into place as momentum draws him into a turn, pulling him away and leaving Malleus stunned by the sudden loss of that sight.
The melody picks up its tempo, building into a crescendo. The beat quickens, the smiles grow more giddy, and this time Malleus doesn’t stop himself from searching for you. A glance, a discreet turn, a tilt of the head–
His heart almost stops when you appear from behind him, switching partners and stepping around so fluidly as if you’ve known this dance all your life.
With how happy you look right now, Malleus hopes you really did.
The world starts to spin again.
-
“This is an improvement from the tavern,” Malleus glances at you out of the corner of his eye. “Are you familiar with this town?”
He can imagine you living here, free from the bounty on your head and friends with many. Perhaps he might see you during a celebration such as this again, and–
“I’ve visited a few times before, but never stuck around too long because of…” You gesture vaguely, bringing his attention to your deft hands. A stall is selling apples for a deal, and you smile as you give them the coin for it - from his pouch. “It’s a nice place though, right?”
You turn to him, returning the money and expecting an answer.
“I wouldn’t mind visiting again,” he manages to say.
There’s a tilt to your lips as you consider it. “So you like atmospheres like these, huh? The tower probably didn’t have much for entertainment with you all alone.”
“I didn’t mind being alone that much,” he admits. “But it would be nice to be invited to events once in a while.”
You said you’d keep that in mind, and Malleus can’t help but wonder what his life might’ve been like if only he’d met you earlier. He looks pointedly at the bouquet in your arms as you sit yourselves on a bench, raising a brow. “Do vendors normally give out cabbages to who they think are couples?”
You almost choke at his wording. “I– Uh, not exactly. I think it was just because he owned a vegetable stall.” You look down at the greens. “Generally it’d be a bouquet of flowers, but I suppose if you try hard enough they’d look like roses?”
“Would you prefer if they were something else?”
Malleus took your curious look as a go-ahead to show what he meant; he reaches out and touches the tip of his finger to the bouquet, and you watch in awe as a familiar green trail of magic envelops it. It tickles your hands as the cabbages glow and bloom into soft petals of yellows and blues and purples, like a meadow of wildflowers captured to rest in your arms.
He picks one to tuck behind your ear with a pleased smile. “…There.”
Your eyes widen as you feel your face heating up. In your indignation you avert your gaze and demand that Malleus turn around so that you aren’t the only one decorated with blooms (and so that he wouldn’t notice your movements growing flustered).
Yet even as you tuck flower after flower into his hair, you slowly come to the realization that they stood out vibrantly against his dark locks. Not to mention, it’s hard to embarrass a man who knows nothing of what your actions might imply.
It’s a blessing and a curse, for when he smiles at you after you’re done, you realize…
“How do I look?” He asks.
Beautiful, you think. (It’s bittersweet.) You look like a prince.
And princes have always been out of reach for commoners, and lie even further from a thief wanted by the kingdom.
“Great,” You reply weakly, folding your hands onto your lap and smiling back. “You look wonderful.”

Wanda’s memories were coming back gradually but they were jumbled. She couldn’t understand much of them. They sometimes popped up in her mind during the day and sometimes appeared in her nightmares. She didn’t get who was who in her memories. She just had gut feelings regarding them. On top of that, she had to continue her research.
While being overwhelmed by everything going on, the ghosts mentioned an annual game at the NRC. Hearing that Grim wanted to play and she joined him to distract herself.
During the game, she was able to attack the ghosts with what she did during her fight against Riddle despite her power being weaker now. She was confident at offence and didn’t even think of defending until one of the ghosts attacked her. She instinctively swang her hands in front of her while her fingers formed a sign and a magenta-coloured transparent shield formed in front of her, protecting her from the attack.
She was familiar with this magic too. After the game ended, she tried making it again but failed which made her consider that this was just done in panic mode. She decided to work on it as well.
Whilst Wanda was researching The God of Chaos along with many other topics, she started to have visions again and got interrupted by yet another situation at the NRC. Instead of doing something himself, dire told Wanda and Grim to investigate the series of mysterious accidents.
She told the situation to her friends and after Trey got injured, Riddle and Cater joined in their investigation. They visited other Spelldrive players who got hurt and potential targets. They learned that the ones who got hurt lost control of their bodies for a moment.
Wanda thought they were mind-controlled by someone as she saw faint images of a similar situation in her memories. She wanted to be more certain before she told her group so she didn’t say anything.
Riddle, Cater, Ace, Deuce and Grim were talking to the Leech twins. She wasn’t focusing on the conversation which seemed to get heated. The moment she saw them, she felt a familiarity.
“Iamatwin,” Wanda said abruptly. Her friends were bamboozled by the out of blue information reveal. “Wanda, we can talk about th-”
“Hisnamewas-no-isPietro.” The words left her mouth without realising it. “Okay…” They said before continuing to talk with the twins.
Wanda wasn’t paying any attention to them. The name Pietro was echoing in her mind. She was trying to recall how he looked and what else she recalled other than the name, getting lost in her own world.
“Axolotl didn’t run away hehe,” a voice came above her. She looked up to see the Leech twins smiling down at her.
“EvenifItellyoumyname,youwillcontinuetocallmebythenicknameyouchosesincethat’syourthing.Ihavenoreasontofearyouasyouwouldn’tbeabletodosomethingIdon’twant.” She looked into his eyes as she spoke monotonously. When she finished, Floyd let his arm down, opening his eyes and pouting “You are no fun."
She turned to the other one, ”Youbothknowwhat’sreallyhappening,don’tyou?That’swhyyoudrovemyfriendsoffandansweredelusively.“ The second one chuckled. Before he could comment, Wanda added, ”Ican’thearyourthoughtsfullybutIcansensethem.Iknowyouaren’ttherealculprit.Iwon’tpryintoyourprivacyaslongasyoudon’tstandinmyway.“ Hearing what she said, Jade’s eyes widened before he changed to his usual expression. She didn’t have to reveal information about her mind-reading abilities nor how she sensed the truth but it didn’t matter at the moment.
After the twins, they went to talk with the Savanaclaw student but he ran away after stealing Riddle and Cater’s pens. Following that student-led the gang to the Savanaclaw dormitory, they met Jack and the other dorm members caused a commotion.
Them acting strange made Wanda feel suspicious of them. While she was pondering if she should read their minds and invade their privacy to find the truth, the commotion led to the group being challenged to play the Spelldrive. Thankfully Cater was with them so he was more experienced.
Don’tshowyourpowers... Said The Voice. Listening to The Voice was always in her favour so she followed its command. She sat on the benches and observed the players. Suddenly, she noticed a familiarity with her premonitions. When Riddle was the problem, she had visions of Queen in their dorm based on. On top of that, Riddle’s personality was similar to the Queen. Now she noticed the lion and hyenas she saw in her premonition were similar to Leona and Ruggie. Thus, she thought they were the problem this time.
The game ended and the gang left the dorm. She told them about her suspicions and they agreed on the Savanaclaw acting shady. As it was too much for a day, they all went back to their dorms.
Wanda had a lot on her mind, preventing her from sleeping so she went outside for fresh air and to organise her thoughts but she saw another suspicious person. "A child of man, are you?” the guy with horns asked.
Youarenotahuman.Youareamutant...Said the Voice. She didn’t know what exactly mutant was but it was the second time the Voice mentioned and she felt in her bones that it was telling the truth.
She checked him out before shrugging in response. His horns and black and green themed clothes reminded her of someone she knew from her past but she couldn’t put a finger on it.
The horned boy and she talked some more before she asked his name which he gave an elusive answer. “AreyouafraidthatIwon’ttalktoyouifIknewyourname?Dopeoplefearyou?” Wanda asked after him not telling her his name. She sensed discomfort and fear from him but not from her. The more she looked at him, she heard faint whispers about him as if she was still reading his mind but it wasn’t as loud as reading minds.
“Youcan’tcontrolpeople’sfears,onlyyourown,Malleus.” The words left her mouth spontaneously which surprised her companion. “Idon’thavemanymemoriesbutIknowwhatit’sliketobefeared.” She added. She pondered if she should tell how she knew his name but he might think she invaded his privacy so she didn’t say anything. “Thank you, child of man,” Malleus said before apparating away. She thought she knew this magic too and decided to try it when she got more of her memories.
The days were passing fast while Wanda and her friends, joined by Jack, was investigating the case and she was getting more premonitions. And the day of the Spelldrive game came. The gang was able to piece things together and figured out Leona’s plan, making a plan to counter it. That’s how Wanda and her friends ended up in Savanaclaw, confronting Leona.
He made his dorm attack them. Her gang defeated them easily while she sat that one out. They revealed how his plan failed. That’s when things went south. Leona grew unstable and verbally degraded his dormmates, especially Ruggie. The atmosphere felt the same as when Riddle overblotted. “Bah, I’m so sick of this nonsense. Shut UP, you nobodies!” Leona shouted and the air felt dry suddenly.
The situation was going bad rapidly but the upcoming chaos was reliving Wanda. She didn’t care about sand hitting her in the face or the others panicking. Her ecstasy came to an end once Leona revealed his powers “That’d be my signature spell. The King’s Roar. Ironic, isn’t it? Nothin’ the savanna hates more than a drought. Yet its prince’s magic desiccates everything—reduces it to sand.”
This time he fought against her friends and got defeated again. Then the short guy with magenta-black hair started to provoke Leona. Meanwhile, Wanda was once again in panic mode upon seeing Leona’s unique magic. Tears started to fall down her cheeks and then to the ground when she thought of someone being able to make people and objects disintegrate made her feel so sorrowful to the point she wanted to cry out. She wasn’t able to focus on anything else until the chaos around her grew exponentially. She was physically and mentally feeling better in the chaos despite her mind being filled with thoughts of disintegration.
Wanda heard a roar coming from where her friends were and saw Leona’s overblot form and the wraith behind him. Her friends decided to hold him off while the rest went to get the principal or ran away.
She shook her head, trying to push disintegration thoughts back of her mind. The circumstances were dire and her friends needed her. She could feel the power flowing inside her growing stronger and stronger. She ran toward her friends and stood in front of them, between them and Leona.
Leona attacked them without a second thought. Deuce yelled at her “Wanda, step back!” followed by her other friends calling out to her. She didn’t even look back. With a stoic expression on her face, she moved her hands in front of her, her fingers making a sign. A huge magenta coloured transparent shield formed in front of her, shielding her and her friends. Her hands once again were covered with magenta mist.
She didn’t lose her composure while defending, after a few moments, her friends and Ruggie understood that she’d defend while they attacked.
They started to attack Leona. After a few hits, he staggered back. That’s when Wanda dropped the shield and sent energy blasts toward him. Her blasts were stronger than the ones she sent to Riddle. Leona tried to counter it but Wanda was faster. At last, she twisted her wrist. The pink energy ball in her hand shone brighter before she blasted him. Leona got knocked out and the environment went back to its original form.
The magenta mist surrounding her hands stayed longer this time. When things got resolved, Wanda spotted Grim finding the black stone. Before he could eat it, Wanda said “No,” and Grim stopped in his tracks. He tried to move but couldn’t budge a centimetre. She picked up the stone and with a flick of her wrist, Grim could move again. He insisted on eating the stone but she didn’t listen to him. She was going to show this to the principal and demand an explanation after the game ended.
After everything came to a resolution, Dire wanted Savaclaw out of the game but the once injured players convinced him otherwise. Wanda, Grim, Ace, Deuce and the ghosts of Ramshackle were going to play against Savanaclaw dorm as the initial unofficial match in the stadium. They all prepared for it before arriving at the stadium.
Iwanttoheartheirthoughts...People’s thoughts flocked into her mind the moment Wanda thought about herself. She wanted to win the game as a payback for what Leona and Ruggie did. She thought they could win if she could know their attacks.
The crowd was loud, cheering for their teams, the media was covering the match and Wanda was barely able to control her powers while focusing on others’ thoughts. She thought she could manage it but everything around her was starting to exhaust her.
She was making a shield to protect herself from incoming attacks while sending energy blasts when she saw an opening. She was so focused on her mission that she didn’t react fast enough when the Spelldrive disk flew towards her rapidly. She was about to make a shield but she was too late and it hit her on the forehead before she lost consciousness.
I finally edited all of my twst x reader fics to twst x mc on AO3. You can access them here. I didn’t realise I had written so many TWST fics until I put them here.
And lastly, this is where I properly introduced my OC. She is my MC so I started from the very first chapter and covered the first 4 chapters of the prologue
All these being shared, I don’t feel motivation to write for twst at the moment. If I write, it’d be commission or if I want to develop my OC more via more fics and chapters. Other than that, I will continue to share memes, incorrect quotes and headcanons from my main.
The lack of updates and the huge breaks for main story updates made me lose interest in twst. Yes, we got event stories but I’d rather have main story completed.

As of now, I will focus on my Black Widow fics and original content as I am currently planning to write my own Otome Isekai
Thank you for the views, kudos, reblogs, follows and comments. They all uplifted my mood every time I saw them on my notification.
Thank you for being with me through my fics from crack to angst, from healthy relationships to yandere <3<3<3
