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.

~ After the arrival of Madeleine to Kingdom X, Professor and Founder of the Coffee magic school, Espresso, often found himself unintentionally watching the knight Commander from afar. Whenever he caught himself in the act, he would mumble things such as: '...Light magic...good for nothing.' and then turn to the complete opposite direction. However, Espresso can not help but still feel intrigued by the entitled knight. Further research must be done on this obsurd emotion. Madeleine's feelings are complicated. Seeing Espresso in Kingdom X was a pleasant surprise that soon became overshadowed by a single thought: Espresso separated himself during their Soul Jam expedition. 'Who would want to leave me? I am Madeleine, the greatest knight to ever exist! Nobody will forget my name for...forever! Then why? Divine tell me, why is he different from the rest?' He felt crushed...for five minutes. His pride did not allow him to feel defeat for longer than that! Now that Espresso is in Kingdom X, Madeleine feels as if he was given a second chance by the Celestials. A chance to prove his greatness through any means... 'Espresso, your heart shall falter before my gaze!' ~ ◇Join these two opposites on their journey to discovering more about themselves and each other. Watch Espresso overcome his crippling coffee addiction and get addicted to Madeleine instead. Lastly, witness them grow so close to the point where Madeleine can call Espresso his partner without being sucked into a black hole and thrown off a cliff. ◇Will contain NSFW parts. ◇The story will contain lots of swearing. ◇There will be violent scenes. ◇None of the art is mine. ◇The cookies are anthropomorphic and based on Cookie Run Kingdom. ◇Vampire is very drunk.
