This is copied and pasted from AO3 because I love it and its too good only to be on AO3 It's made by Treehouse_tales on AO3 btw :> REDEMPTION ARC RAHHHHH Front cover by ShortHalves on DeviantArt http://archiveofourown.org/works/63331795. Imma die i think i spelt the title wrong

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?

In a world where light and shadow dance on the edge of existence, two souls are drawn together by a bond neither can fully understand, yet both cannot escape. Pure Vanilla Cookie, the embodiment of kindness and warmth, has spent his life mending hearts and healing wounds, but his own heart is far from whole. The light he brings to others cannot shine into his own darkness, a darkness that echoes from a past he'd rather forget. When fate reunites him with the one person who once shared in his light, he is forced to confront what he has tried so desperately to hide. Shadow Milk Cookie, a figure of mystery and pain, is consumed by the shadows that cling to him, like a second skin. His heart, once innocent and pure, has been tainted by betrayal, and he wears his sorrow like armor. Though he remains distant and cold, a flicker of something more-something softer-lingers beneath his surface. But to allow himself to feel it is to risk being consumed by the very darkness he's spent years mastering. When their paths cross once more, the pull between them is undeniable. Light and shadow-two opposites, bound by a shared past, and yet separated by the very forces that define them. Together, they navigate the fine line between redemption and destruction, torn between the sweetness of what could be and the bitterness of what has been. In a world filled with uncertainties, "A Bitter Sweetness" explores the fragile beauty of love, loss, and the dark allure of what it means to heal and to be healed. Can the light of Pure Vanilla reach into the heart of the shadows? Or will the darkness of Shadow Milk consume them both? ORIGINAL STORY THE CHARACTERS/COOKIES DO NOT BELONG TO ME

So....im bored, so it's time to make ✨my own cookie run kingdom oc✨, none of these are mine except for my characters. Also this takes place in an au where the ancients were defeated by the beast. I have my own au for the characters to which will be shown in this. Bye 💅✨ The description was added after I finished this😃 White Reed Cookie was White Lilies sister, the one who had swore to protect her after White Lily had fallen into the ultimate dough. So once the Ancients had brought peace to Earthbread she thought she could finally relax.....she was wrong. The Beasts surprised attacked the Ancients and quickly won the fight, which caused White Reed to have to run away with her sister. But what would happen if an ancient power was to break from stone, a power forgotten by history...and that power made White Reed realize something that could make or break her... Will White Reed be able to accept every part of the past or will she be consumed by roots that had long been forgotten?...... Finished August 6, 2025

(heh... I was bored..)

So, main summery is the past Beasts before corruption comes to the future and stays with Pure Vanilla... btw, I forgot to include this, but this story is inspired by the time jammed, created by @acromaticEgoist in tumbler.

No smut just doomed yaoi

Shadow vanillas story!! (Maybe a lil goldenlily and blackbell too...I lied there's a LOT of ships..)

(Picture isn't mine and all the credit goes to the creator of the art and Devsisters for CRK. Art; https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/thesparkledash/shadowvanilla) . After being tricked and defeated by Pure Vanilla Cookie and his allies-Gingerbrave, Wizard Cookie, and Strawberry Cookie-Shadow Milk Cookie was revengeful, having half of his Soul Jam in possession. Shadow Milk Cookie wants to destroy Pure Vanilla Cookie, his allies, and Earthbread. Pure Vanilla Cookie wants to redeem Shadow Milk Cookie and give the Beast of Deceit a second chance at being good. Will Shadow Milk Cookie succeed or will Pure Vanilla Cookie? Will Shadow Milk be a foe, friend, or something more? Only time shall tell..

This entire story idea came from me-full knowing that it's awful-tasting pure vanilla extract because it smelled sweet... Yeah, it just spiraled from there... Important note: (Y/N) = (C/F) Cookie [for Cookie Flavor Cookie because that's how cookie names work-] I mostly give setting in the prologue because this was originally a oneshot idea. Slow going for the first few chapters (in my opinion).
