Of Knives, Magic and Moons [twisted wonderland/assassination classroom]

foreword ! (important)

Hi :D

For those of you who don't know me— welcome to hell!

...I'm kidding. Probably.

Jokes aside, I'm wasabi, hello, yes, nice to meet you :)

Anyway, to get to the point, I've been dragged kicked and screaming by my lovely friends into yet another fandom that I haven't played, so :D good for me! I am truly winning. Twisted Wonderland is it's name btw, if it wasn't obvious from the tags. Honestly, I love the characters so bad - for something I don't even play, it's becoming a problem .__.

In my defence, I have read the first volume of the manga, as well as other fanfictions, and because of this, my mind now came up with this idea— what if, someone did an Assassination Classroom crossover. So of course, when I searched it up, I found nothing, lay awake at three am thinking about a fanfiction idea, became desperate... and here I am! Story of my life :')

First things first, disclaimer! I do not own Twisted Wonderland or Assassination Classroom. They both belong to their respective owners. The cover art for this fic also doesn't belong to me - I found it on pinterest :D

WARNING: there will be strong/mature language (profanity) as well as some mental health related topics (different OC death, grief, coping, etc. Honestly I don't think I'll go into much detail or specifics, mainly just how my OC doesn't cope well but also is a king at coping. Anyway, just in case, here it is.) I guess violence is also in here? But like, it's Twisted Wonderland sooooo :P

This story is basically about my OC, Rin Hattori, who is a former member of Class-E in Assassination Classroom. Tbh, you don't have to watch Assassination Classroom to read this (but do be warned that there are some significant spoilers about the show very early on, and also, it's so good why have you not watched it /joke).

Because I'm not going to post a character profile just yet, to give a very, very brief overview of facts about Rin that are kind of not-entirely needed to be spelled out but useful for reference anyway:

16 years old.Considered a piano prodigy. Stopped playing the piano after an event (not bc of trauma or anything, or at least, I think...)Picked up arts and craft instead - likes to draw and do origami as a way to relieve stress. Proficient in three languages - Japanese, English, conversational French. Has a sickly constitution - although he's quite athletic due to Assassination Classroom stuff and his own hobbies, he gets sick really easily in terms of catching a cold, and a lot of the times, it can get worse quite quickly. (#not ideal)Has a childhood friend named Naoki Kudo.Has a friend in his (new-ish) high school called Suzu Ohara which he led the art club with - him as vice-leader and Suzu as leader.

Spoiler alert! (kinda?) This story essentially takes place after the ending of the show where Class-E all go to different high schools to finish their education. And so my boy Rin is at this school having the time of his life. Then, stuff start to go downhill with some things, and he ends up getting yeeted to Twisted Wonderland. (this is so vague and ominous LMAO) Rin ends up entering NRC when all the canon second years are arriving, meaning that he'll be in the same year as Riddle, Ruggie, Azul, the tweels, Kalim, Jamil and Silver. Trey, Cater, Vil, Rook and some other canon third-years are in their second year. And Leona is in his third year. This also means that the canon plots and overblots won't be starting until a year later, and just to note - there is a "Yuu" that will entering in the next year. This "Yuu" is also more like an OC rather than the Yuu in the manga or novel, so yeah, fun facts everyone!

Something to note is that there isn't actually too much Assassination Classroom stuff for now other than in the prologue (chapter 0) - but throughout the story, it's more like an "extra", in which we can kinda see what's going on in that world once in a while bc Rin is obviously missing. Eventually, there will be more aspects of Assassination Classroom, but I feel like that's quite a ways away for now.

Also, I haven't really decided whether I should make this romance or not (?), tbh, I just wanna try writing Twisted Wonderland content bc seriously why is there not enough TAT, anyway— yeah. I might make it romance because I like writing romance? But for now I think the relationships (be it platonic or potentially romantic) are gonna be slow bc Rin is like an emotional brick wall when it comes to trusting people and letting people permanently grow roots into his heart and attach like fungus.

Idk, romance seems to come easier to me, but since I decided to take it slow, I guess this could be read as platonic as well. We'll see :D. I'm not sure how well I can do in terms of characterisation, and there's bound to be moments where an OOC warning is blaring in your minds, but all I can say is I'll do my best and do some research and learning beforehand.

Anyway, buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride in a black carriage led by two intimidating-looking horses. LMAO, idek what I'm doing but hey, what's new? Hope y'all enjoy <3
