Caine was everywhere but nowhere. Not in the tent or the Circus. What are the players supposed to do without him? Have fun? Not really... cause now they've got a bigger problem then the one they had before. This was made on 17th of January, a month approximately since episode 7 released. This follows the canon plot until the point Caine leaves them the gift basket. If you're reading this after episode 8 or after the end of the show, then I must apologise. VERY IMPORTANT! ⚠️THERE IS A LOT OF VIOLENCE AND I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO MENTION BLOOD A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES. PLUS THERE IS GOING TO BE NO S3XUAL CONTENT SO I AM NOT PUTTING THE MATURE RATING ON. BUT WARNING: THERE ARE GOING TO BE SLIGHT MENTIONS OF IT JUST LIKE THE ACTUAL SHOW.⚠️ All characters belong to Gooseworx and Glitch Productions! (I might add some characters that do not exist in the original but I follow the canon plot) On that note you can choose to keep reading! Many thanks to: @ itsjoyceblevins for the OG Title idea (The Amazing Digital Aftermath)

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
