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.

Aria Whitecourt backstory
Timeline 1
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.
π (differences in timeline start here)
Aria and Deuce friendship had a falling out during Deuce delinquent phase. Aria decided she needed to stop being his friend. Aria didnt want to worry her own poor mother for getting too involved and possibly dragging herself into dangerous situations on the regular if she continued to hang out with Deuce so much.
Aria did occasionally visit Deuce's house to annually deliver holiday gifts and cards to Ms. Spade from herself and her mom. It becomes very awkard for Aria and Deuce whenever they do run into each other during those short visits.
Aria and Ms. Whitecourt were also very delighted to hear about Deuce acceptance into Night Raven college from Ms. Spade. Aria decided to visit the Spade house on purpose before Deuce left for NRC and even wished him luck.
They did see each other again during White Rabbit fest though Deuce was super awkard and didn't know how to act around Aria.
Aria from this timeline is VERY different personality wise, she is very bubbly and barley a Kuudere in this timeline compared to later timelines. Man did i make her more Kuudere and harder to approach with each additional timeline, WOOPS. In this timeline Aria is more expressive, outgoing and even has some close friends in Clocktown.
Not long after the VDC occurs the world gets invaded and overrun by overblot phantoms that originated from Styx. This is when Aria unlocks her Unique magic Rewrite Time and alters/changes the timeline to save twisted wonderland.

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
I just remembered a problem I'm facing with my twisted wonderland fanfiction.
Thankfully it's something I can put off addressing for now but this issue will catch up with me eventually.
The issue: nicknames
Specifically what would Rook and Floyd nickname my OCS.
Thankfully for Yuzu and Yumi I can just use Trickster and Shrimpy.
However I still have no idea what they would call Sian or Aria as a nickname.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Aria jumped startled and disappeared instantly teleporting away all of a sudden, only red sparkles remained for the next few seconds before fading away.
Thump, Bang
"Eep!"
Crash
"β¦Ugh"
"Hmm? Oh? what are you doing here child?"
Aria is hunched over on the floor the pocket watch lays nearby on the floor. She looks up and turns her head to see Lilia on her right, sitting at his desk clearly in the middle of playing videogames with an online friend.
"I- I wasβ¦Urk" she shuttered and clutched her head as the nightmarish scene flashed in her mind, the wounds still fresh digging into her mind.
Once the image plaguing her mind vanished, she looked over to see Lilia crouched down right next to her, now rubbing circles into her back trying his best to soothe the poor girl.
All of a sudden, the door to the room is slammed open with a heavy bang. revealing a very distressed and panicked Silver breathing heavily.
"I heard a loud noise is everything alright Fa-β¦β¦" notices Aria in the room "Lilia?"
Lilia looks over to Silver and flashes him a grin.
"It appears that I have an unexpected visitor tonight" Lilia chucked making light of the situation to ease the tension within the room.
Lilia reaches his hand out towards Aria. Aria proceeds to take his hand as they both get up from the floor. Now looking around and taking in her surrounds Aria can tell she is in fact in Lilia's room within Diasomnia of all places.
. . .
Breathes in
Breathes out
Aria then looks down and sees her pocket watch on the floor and immediately goes to pick it up once more. Cradling in within her hands up against her chest.
"I apologize for the intrusion Vice warden Lilia," Looks towards Silver and nods "and to you as well, it appears I have teleported here in my half wake state after having an intense dream."
"it's no trouble at all. Are you feeling better my child?"
Aria nods.
"I should head back to my dorm now"
"aw so soon but you just got here, your not even gonna stay over for a little bit you gonna make me cry, sobs"
. . .
Aria contemplates staying, feeling uneasy as she squeezes the pocket watch in her hands.
Breaths in
Breaths out
"I guess I could stay for a few more minutes." Aria relents.
"Wonderful!" Lilia claps his hands together before looking towards Silver. "Silver? mind escorting Aria down to the lounge while I go make ourselves something to drink"
Silver goes pale in the face.
"Aria came to visit you Lilia, so how about i make us drinks and you take her to the lounge"
"Hmm fine you make a fair point then we will do just that instead" Lilia remarked.
Silver promptly leaves the bedroom and goes down the hallway. After turning a corner, he leans up against the wall, his hand clutching at his chest, his heartbeat erratic. Beads of sweat dropped from his forehead.
Inhales, Exhales.
Silver was coming to grips on what he just saw, what they both saw in her nightmare.
Tonight was a lot. It was strange that his unique magic took him to Aria's dream. Usually, he ends up in the dreams of those he's close to like Sebek.
A loud piercing noise could be heard as Silver's eyes went wide. Looking towards Aria and Lilia about 30 feet away from him.
So, it was certainly a surprise when he saw the white dove circling Aria as Silver stood nearby in the ruins of the mirror chamber going unnoticed as an overblot fight was occurring with what appeared to be a large dire beast with blue flames coming out of it.
Silver witnessed one of the beast tails has impaled Lilia's chest.
Blood spills out of his father's mouth as Lilia coughs. The overblotted beast's tail retracts from Lilia's body as he falls down to the ground with a harsh thud, huge amounts of blood pour out of the hole in Lilia's chest.
Silver wastes no time running straight towards Aria and Lilia.
"LILIA!" Aria screams as Silver wraps an arm around her waist and pulls Aria away from Lilia.
Silver then proceeds to lift Aria up and off the ground as he tosses her over his shoulder and runs out of the room before Aria could crumple down to the floor sobbing next to Lilia's gravely injured body.
Silver needs to get the girl away and to a safe distance before he can calm her down properly.
As much as it pains him to leave his father like that dream or not. He has to remind himself that he needs to attend to the dreamer first. Calming them down so he can hopefully change this nightmare back to a peaceful dream before it's too late.
Aria pounds her fists upon Silver's back.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
Silver instantly mutters back a apology to the girl as he continues to run away with her draped over his shoulder.
Silver's mind reels back from recalling Aria's recent nightmare. Silver pulls himself off from against the wall and heads towards Diasomnia's kitchen.
Unfortunately, before Silver could finish running towards a safer location Aria wakes up and the nightmare crumples away. Silver ends up waking up as well.
