(Disclaimer : I wrote this story when I was 13 years old I never published it now more than 12 years passed, and I decided to share it as it is without changing or improving anything) The war between the East and the West was supposed to end quickly. Arthur knew it. Natalia knew it. That was the problem. Arthur, king of the West, prepared himself for invasion long before the first soldier crossed the border. He expected violence. Betrayal. Blood. He did not expect Natalia. A strategist from the East whose arrival turns the war into something far more dangerous than conquest. Because Natalia is not trying to win. She is trying to stop something worse. And the closer Arthur gets to understanding her the more both of them begin destroying the very things they once wanted to protect.

She met him when she was eight - all soft smiles, scraped knees, and summer skies. Their families were close. He was a little older. A little louder. And from the very beginning, he felt like something she might never get over. They weren't always friends. Sometimes he was distant. Sometimes unkind. But he was always there - in campfires, text messages, quiet glances across crowded rooms. She loved him in a quiet, growing way - through the years, through the silences, through the girls he loved that weren't her. And just when she learned how to stop hoping... he finally saw her. This is the story of the girl who waited. And the boy who didn't understand until it was too late. He was never hers. But she was always his.

I was thirty years of age when my life met its sorry end once a simple married woman, my world shattered the moment I found my husband entangled in another's embrace. I died there, on the cold floor of the home we had built together, in a manner far more pitiful than I ever imagined for myself. And yet... I awaken. Breathing. Living. Reborn as the stepmother of a boy destined to become a villain- a child fated to meet the same miserable end as I once did. I failed once as a mother. So, what shall become of this second chance at motherhood? • Note: updates every Saturday Owner of the cover X\@irt_5433

Inspired by the game "The Freak Circus" A horror game with a Harlequin, a Jester, a Ticket Taker, a Doctor, and a yandere Pierrot plus a simple normal girl who got isekaid inside the horror game. .... Pierrot waited outside her window until she was fast asleep. He slowly approached her bed staring at her with a blush on his face and heart shaped eyes. "Oh my lady.. you're even more beautiful in your sleep.. I love you from the moment I saw you. I'm afraid I'll scare you if you'd knew my love for you, my obsession, the things.. I wanna do to you" He stares at her sleeping face with a hungry look. While the sleeping (?) girl thought to herself with eyes close. "You'd be surprised if you'd knew it's mutual" she thought to herself and almost making a smirk forgetting that she was supposed to be sleeping

There was once an Sixth Ancient among the Five...They were since then, forgotten from time, only told from the legends to ancients. Till a certain cookie from a certain kingdom, resembles him by dough.

(C/F) is Cookie Flavor After being continually rejected from magic school, the brilliant engineer (C/F) Cookie moves to the Vanilla Kingdom for a fresh start.

This is about 7,000 words so it's not really a oneshot anymore. Since there isn't that much known about Shadow Milk Cookie, this is mostly full of headcanons. Don't take it too seriously. I did not research characters as much as I normally do for these. ----------- (Cookie/Flavor) Cookie worked as Croissant Cookie's assistant at the TBD until they and their pet, (Pet/Name) were stranded at the Blueberry Yogurt Academy following an accident that destroyed their Timecraft. Unable to return, they do their best to prevent any more anomalies while they wait for someone to come bring them back. They're not sure why no one has come yet. They're not supposed to be there. ...Right?
