[NRC Campus | Main Building - Meeting Room | During a Staff Meeting]
Crewel, places his hand on his hip: A Proper Gym?
Vargas, smirks: Yeah! With a boxing ring, weights, and treadmills! Everything to get the body in shape!
Trein, arms crossed since he left Lucius with Marcus & Grim: I see. Leave it to the Ramshackle Members to find ways to improve the school more and more each day.
Diedre: They want to give the students a proper chance. Can you blame them?
Crowley: Even so, I wish they would have told me about this. Considering how everything they do affects the school that I govern.
Avery, attending as Diedre's Assistant: Headmage, I think you're misunderstanding something. What makes you think that you have any control over NRC?

Summary: It turns out excessive exposure to overblot can cause a build up of it even in non magical people.
You wake up to clogged ears and a sticky face. There’s something nudging your head and you can faintly hear Grim frantically calling your name. His urgency registers in your brain and you shoot upright before losing balance and leaning over your knees.
You’re on the cobblestone floor of a hallway somewhere in the main school building. There are few groups of students standing around and staring at you in horror and trepidation, some with their pens out. Grim is by your side, trying to support you even with his tiny furball body. He’s trembling and you stroke his fur in an attempt to soothe him and reach your other hand up to wipe your eyes clean. It comes away coated in a thick black liquid that you’ve become far too familiar with, the sight sending your heart to your stomach.
You push Grim away with as much strength as you can muster and check your surroundings again for any damage or anyone hurt, finding nothing. Grim dodges your hands and buries himself into your coat, getting blot smeared onto his fur from where it had dripped down.
“ ‘m not leaving you,” he says against your stomach. “If you go out I’m going out too!” The sentiment made you smile but…
“Grim… Grim listen to me,” you rasp, throat tight and mouth slick. “I need you to go find professor okay?” You tilted his chin up to look at you.
“But what if-“ he protests.
“Grim go. I’ll be alright for a few minutes.” You can’t promise that but you’d never live with yourself if Grim got seriously hurt. He nods after a moment and scampers down the hallway as fast as his little paws would take him.
You don’t want to move from the floor, drawing your knees up to your chest and resting your head on them. You sit there and breathe and wait for your faculties to leave you like you’d seen happen to many students before you when you hear the rapid clicking of heels against the stone.
“Puppy?” You look up at the voice, not used to hearing your potionology teacher sound so fearful. His leather gloves grip each side of your face, tilting it this way and that as he checks you over for injuries and lucidity.
“Does anywhere hurt?”
“No professor.”
He sighs, relieved but not by much then turns to Grim and the surrounding students who are looking less murderous now. “What happened exactly?”
They all glance between each with wide eyes before Grim pipes up, “We were just walking to lunch when they suddenly collapsed for no reason and blot started to come out of them.”
“How long were they out?”
“I don’t know, half a minute maybe.” He’s back to snuggling into your front.
Your professor relaxes. “Good sign,” he mutters. He pats your head “You’re one brave shepherd. Come on, let’s get you to the nurses office,” he says and you think you’re still not out of the woods yet if he’s praising you so openly. He then stands up with a slight grunt and holds his hand out for you. You grasp it, leaning heavily on him to stand on your own wobbly legs while his other hand steadies the upper part of your opposite arm.
You find your footing, eventually, with Grim glaring at your spectators until they turn away. You still lean on Professor Crewel for support the entire walk.
Title is lyrics from the song ‘Barking at the Moon’ from the movie Bolt.
Additional note: Crewel called Yuu “shepherd” as in “German shepherd” I just felt like it would fit the sentence better. I looked up bravest dog breeds and German shepherd was the first one to come up. Also this fic reminded me of that one fire scene from Bolt(which is a movie I adore it’s amazing go watch it please) and Bolt is a German shepherd so that’s the breed I decided to use.
Hihiiii!!! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ ) I saw you were taking requests and uh...I'm just saying...Crewel would look so so so scrumdidlyumptious in your style...( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)
anon from crewel vil ask i didnt expect to be answered so quick i ♡ you /p
its really cute that crewel brushes your hair ?? i audibly went aww, i have an image in my head of vil fixing or tucking your hair behind your ear and crewel swats his hand off with his pointer When I Saw Him Do That In The Anime i giggled icl, but i think crewel would likely pair you with him than with his students ? maybe purposefully make everyone do it in a group that'll eventually exclude a student (you) so hes like Welp! You'll Have To Be With Me, Pup . Its OK, Papa Is Here
Here's a concept: Crewel knows which of his students want you and which don't. So during projects, he's very strategic, pairing up all suitors with each other so none are near you. And only pairing you with students who don't like you romantically. Either way, this plan always succeeds because it can go one of two ways: (1) you remain grouped with those who have no romantic interest in you so he doesn't have to worry as much, OR (2) you end up alone because those same students you were paired with opted to save their own skin by avoiding you to also avoid incurring the jealous wrath of those who do hold romantic interest in you.
That's when he allows you to work with him, maybe even help during the demonstrations for your grade. This is a win in his eyes, and he doesn't bother hiding his grin when he sees some of his students seething because they weren't paired with you. At the same time, he's watching each one carefully. If anyone even thinks about trying to talk to you, he's scolding them for not focusing on the project.
Another concept: Crewel and Vil have started not so subtly trying to one up each other. It all started with Crewel gifting you an accessory for your hair, and Vil couldn't help but notice. Next thing you know, Vil was gifting you a slightly more expensive accessory. Crewel noticed, and did the same. Every week now, you could expect something new from each of them.
A final concept: I was thinking of how Crewel would feel about others spending time with you. We already know he doesn't approve of them, he doesn't even think they're worthy of being your friends, but let's try and sort them into categories. These are up for debate, but here's what I came up with:
"If you have to spend time with one of those pups, then I suppose there are worse options." He begrudgingly allows it only because you asked.
Vil Schoenheit
Jack Howl
Riddle Rosehearts
Trey Clover
Kalim Al-Asim
Silver
Jamil Viper
Malleus Draconia
"Oh seven, why that one? Must it be them?" He actively convinces you not to go. They're not the worst, but they're not the best either.
Cater Diamond
Deuce Spade
Epel Felmier
Rook Hunt
Sebek Zigvolt
Leona Kingscholar
Ruggie Bucchi
Idia Shroud
"Darling, my lovely pup... absolutely not." These ones are the reason Crewel has considered outright banning some from interacting with you.

do you have any thoughts at all abt platonic yan crewel -> reader <- yandere vil ...... you said crewel doesnt trust any boys or men in school, right? does that extend to vil?
If Crewel was forced to trust any of those reckless pups with you, Vil would be exceptionally high on that list as best options. But he still doesn't trust him. At least when you spend time with Vil, it's not someone that makes Crewel go "oh god, why that one?" Divus can think of several he wouldn't let you anywhere near, but luckily for Vil, the potionology professor recognizes that Vil is a different breed. But it's exactly because of that reason that Crewel knows to still not trust him.
Funnily enough, PlatonicYandere!Crewel and Yandere!Vil are very alike. They aren't oblivious, they know they're similar in many ways, which is why sometimes they get along but neither trusts each other completely.
Crewel is aware that Vil wants you, and frankly, even if it's that one, he does not approve. No one is good enough for his darling, not even the model, actor, and beautiful shining star student that is Schoenheit. Crewel insists that Vil could not care for you properly like how he does, it's something he reminds you of as he brushes your hair.
Vil is aware Crewel is still plotting how to move you to another educational institution, and it infuriates him! What gets him is that, in a weird way, Vil understands. If Schoenheit could go with you to another school just to get away from other suitors going after you, he would, but he wants to complete his time at NRC. So, he'll do what he must to have your heart even if Divus forbids it.
Be very careful of these two together. Should Crewel and Vil see an obstacle the two face, they may be willing to put aside their differences for a moment and work together to eliminate the threat before being at odds over you again.
See this is a potions teacher I can get behind fan gurling about
( This school is a hr nightmare though no Mr Crewel you can’t walk around with a riding crop and collar and calling your students good boy especially when some of them are dog or dog related dear lord
it's difficult being a crewel fan bc fym i waited for 300 chapters of straight dream hell bullshit in book 7 just to get a glimpse of my man, and then you tell me like 5 lines later he gets absolutely destroyed by big boy mal like hello????????? i was screaming and frothing at the mouth upon seeing his beautiful visage and then big boy mal goes and just roasts the shit out of him and trein like please king dont fucking die who else am i gonna thirst over if you die
