I swear the cover is temporary unless i forget to change it- *+*Summary (?)*+* I started writing this fic at 1am back in 2021, Espresso and Madeleine get kidnapped a lot, nearly die several times, I accidentally gave Madeleine hypersomnia? His mom in this fic is an OC because Cookie Odyssey hadn't come out yet, and she sucks. Things get darker and delve into more of an analysis of character's mental health after she's introduced. I really don't know how else to summarize this, but it's better than the old one. The writing is all old and bad (in comparison to my current writing) but I want to try and wrap this up for those who've stuck around. *+* This is the Wattpad version of the fic. It'll also be on Ao3 (it's exactly the same but if you like reading there more, you can) My name on here is the same as there: Ben_Fakename *+*1st chapter published on October 10th, 2021*+*

An AU where Espresso was raised with the Cookies Of Darkness. Since he was merely a child, Espresso's one and only desire was to prove his worth to Dark Enchantress, his mother. He and his siblings were taught to despise the Vanilla Kingdom and its inhabitants, sparking an endless war between the light and the dark. Madeleine is a paladin of the Divines, the Vanilla Kingdom's knight commander and savior, and almost immediately he is intrigued by the coffee mage on the opposing side. He is convinced that good exists in Espresso's heart, along with the hopes that he'll join them. A violent circumstance leads to Espresso being captured and held within the castle walls of the Vanilla Kingdom with no magic and nobody to help him. But of course, this was all but a great opportunity for Madeleine to persuade the stubborn mage into leaving the Cookies of Darkness behind. Against his liking, Espresso had no other choice but to play along for now. All he had to do was keep up the charade and not get attached. Simple, right? ~ DISCLAIMER: Yes I am aware this is the most horribly written piece of cookie run fanfiction out there. This is pretty bad. And I am acknowledging that lmao. You wanna know why? A) My writing was not that great at all and hilariously cringe in 2022! And B) I didn't plan *anything* ! :D Not a single thing. So don't make the same mistake as me kids, *always* plan your stories no matter what. Because seriously, the amount of plot-holes in this bad boy is just laughable. - Seasorbet (May 2024) ~ **Content Warning!!** Some chapters may contain sensitive topics, please heed the warnings at the beginning of the chapters.
