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

Pure Vanilla could swear a voice not his had been in his head, a face not his in his reflection. No matter how hard he tries to tell himself nothing's wrong, there's always a feeling of dread and uncertainty in his words. He soon has to face the reality that maybe he's never been alone when he and his company crash into Beast-Yeast only to find it completely demolished by a force he somehow recognizes. Meeting new friends (and foes) along the way, truths he once knew all too well begin to crumble into nothing but deceit, and untruth worries he's had begin to become truer and truer. In all the chaos, Pure Vanilla can only wonder: Can he save himself from this obsessive monster out for him and his soul jam?

(Uhhh I don't even know at this point in time. I haven't gotten to the part where they actually met so I'm just going off the things I know from fanfics and stuff.)

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.

Known for having an extremely outgoing personality but also being a straight up heartbreaker. Everything is going well but that all changes when his younger sister, Carmen, joins. Carmen is the definition of beauty and brains but also completely innocent and clueless. She doesn't drink, never goes out and has been sheltered her whole life by her family's wealth; meaning Carmen has never gotten a taste of the real world by herself. What happens when she falls into the hands of the wrong person? Damian Galanis. Playboy, heartbreaker and also Maikel's best friend. He is the opposite of Maikel in every way. Yet despite the pair being entirely different to each other, they get along like two peas in the pod. Maikel and Damian support whatever one another decided to do however there was always one thing that was off limits for Damian. Maikel's little sister, Carmen. Damian had never seen Carmen before but as soon as he sets his sight on the wholesome girl, he can't stop thinking about her. Damian has always been handed everything in his life and has never been told the word "no", due to his prosperous parents giving him everything he has ever wanted and more on a silver platter. The problem is, he wants the one thing he can't have. Will things go smoothly between the pair, or will lust and temptation get the best of them? 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝟏𝟖+
