Summary
There is a hand waving at him.
Slow, wide-swaying, and cheerful, like an announcement of good fortune, and the call of merry tidings. The kind you reserve for companions you have long-since deduced are your best friends, or those whom you seek with fondness, affability, and hope.
So, already, there is something terribly wrong.
Or,
Allegedly, the wandering Sage of Truth has nowhere else to go, and no one else to turn to.
Truthless Recluse doubts that very much. And yet, he finds himself opening the front door anyways.

Summary
The deal was that the Sage would stop directly encouraging his students to climb the mountain to the Peak. In turn, the Recluse would visit the Sage once a week for a debate about the nature of Truth and Deceit.
In hindsight, he should have leaned into the scepticism more rather than blindly grasping at any offer to stop the large influx of new seekers that had materialised since the Sage’s arrival; debates about Truth and Deceit had turned into debates about philosophy, and then into debates about whatever subject matter the Sage taught in his lecture for the day, the Recluse watching them from the shadows rather than turning up once they were over. Then, debates in themselves had turned into casual conversation. And then… into whatever this was now.

Summary
Pure Vanilla has dedicated himself to reopening the old Blueberry Yogurt Academy and restoring it to it's original glory.
It's a little more hectic than he expected, with the Creme Republic and Parafedian Magic board rushing their opening, and an eclectic staff made up of the head of the Saint Pastry Order, an ex-thief, a resurrected White Lily and-
Well, perhaps more pressingly is the rift between worlds that they've yet to seal, and the greatest barrier to a safe reopening.
Perhaps it's time to enter the rift between worlds and search for it's heart himself; to make a place of learning that's open to cookies from all walks of life.

The Light of Deceit sails the calm night waves, her captain commands to follow the faint gleam of gold into the mist.
Two halves of one Heart have met again after centuries, but if the disdain in Shadow Milk's voice is anything to go by, it's still too soon.Bookmarked by randomjinx

"Was there ever any truth waiting at the peak?" he asked.
A beat of silence. Then the other cookie closed their eyes, letting out a deep sigh.
"Yes," they said. "Once. A very long time ago."

Summary
Pure Vanilla visits White Lily to talk about his growing feelings for Shadow Milk. She doesn't understand but if he was willing to stand up to all of them and give the Beast a chance to change then she supposes she has no other choice but to support him. Unfortunately for them, her faerie subjects get the wrong idea of why the two Ancients are meeting more frequently and decide to take matters into their own hands.
A potion to bring forth hidden affections given to the one cookie that has some form of love for every single person he's ever known means now White Lily has to try and keep an increasingly cuddly Pure Vanilla from embarrassing himself in front of everyone he crosses paths with. And when Shadow Milk shows up, she needs to keep him from making a mistake that may just drive the jester away for good.
Pure Vanilla is lucky she's always been good at figuring out spell craft... and with an extremely reluctant Shadow Milk's help, maybe they can break this lovestruck haze that her friend is trapped in.

Someone wanted Viridescent Outfit PV but with the ShadowVanilla ship. I decided to make it thousands of words of angst repairing many cookie's relationships while I'm at it.Series

Summary
He is Shadow Milk Cookie, Beast of Deceit. The terror of thousands. The wolf in sheep's clothing.
But could that be the truth? The name sounds off, even to his own ears. And he could’ve sworn he was called something else. Before it all became too much.
Who is he?
He is Blueberry Milk Cookie, Fount of Knowledge. Brilliant and perfect. A sage to guide those in need.
Closer, but further yet. A weak throb registers in his cracked jam. This can’t be it either. The owner of that name had been someone kind and righteous. He’s not worthy of this title. Not anymore. So he lets the thought flow by like a passing stream. Forgotten, among other things.
Who is he?
He is… he…
He can’t remember.

Summary
At the cusp of defeat, Shadow Milk gets transported to a backwards world: Dark Enchantress was sealed away before she could do any lasting damage, the Beasts never came to be, and the Ancients rule over an otherwise peaceful world.
Oh, and apparently his counterpart is dead and hailed as a hero. Because his life wasn’t already complicated enough.
OR
What happens when the guy who basically saved all of cookiekind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?
Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.

Summary

This unwelcome plot twist had really thrown a wrench in Shadow Milk’s grand plans for vengeance. And to top it all off? Pure Vanilla was here too! To act saintly and get in his way and poke his nose into everything Shadow Milk was trying to hide. Oh joy! Surely nothing bad could happen!
Will Shadow Milk get his revenge on Dark Enchantress for backstabbing him? Will Pure Vanilla lose his sanity again? With they get back to Earthbread and reclaim their Soul Jams or will they throttle each other first?
Or: Shadow Milk has mommy issues and makes it Pure Vanilla’s problem
Featuring:
- AU where the witches are active and malevolent
- Slow burn applies to both the ship and the redemption
- Memory segments of the Fount at the start of each chapter
- Smilk is still villainous before the redemption. Memory snippets of trauma come first while the villainy comes later
- Smilk has more chapters but as of ch22 draft nilla occupies 60% the total word count so are we really only smilk centric anymoreWorldbuilding infodump and rambling on twitter @liarssolace

Summary
Pure Vanilla just wanted to help investigate an abandoned house with dark secrets, worried some cookie might be hurt. Deep in winding basements he found Shadow Milk Cookie. Not as the villain, this time. No, he was definitely not the one responsible.
~
“Who did this to you?” He said calmly, seriously, holding himself together by a sheer thread.“Oh please!” Shadow Milk laughed, high pitched and cracking. “Like you aren’t just glad I’ve been put away where I can’t cause any trouble-” His eyes were glazed over like he wasn’t even seeing him again. He sounded like he couldn’t breathe beyond his laughter. If it could be called ‘laughter’.
"No. Please. I-I wouldn’t wish this on any cookie.” He knelt down very carefully, one hand held out. “Please. Let- Let me help you.”

Or, Shadow Milk Cookie decides weakening Pure Vanilla Cookie before their next encounter would be an excellent strategic maneuver. What better way than by turning all of his dreams to nightmares by his own hand?

Summary
The further the Recluse takes in the scenery, the more it feels as though something is nagging him. Something unbearable and persistent.
…He is not meant to be here.
But even with that knowledge, the area feels oddly welcoming, like his very presence is not an insult to its existence but rather an accepted part of it. Is he hallucinating, or simply losing his head?
Was it ever important?
-----
or, Truthless Recluse finds himself transported into an unknown place, at an unknown time, where the moon shines high, and the faces around him look eerily similar to ones he knows.

Summary
When notorious bandit Shadow Milk Cookie is forced to flee into the countryside after a shootout gone wrong, he finds himself bleeding out on the dirt road of some no-name farm. Out of all the lousy luck in the world, he’s dragged into the home of Pure Vanilla Cookie—a stubborn, soft-spoken farmer with the strength of an ox and a maddeningly calm demeanor.
Trapped by his own injury and too weak to leave, Shadow Milk is left at the mercy of this maddeningly kind man. But Pure Vanilla is far from defenseless. He’s stronger, steadier, and far too comfortable handling the sharp-tongued outlaw like a misbehaving pup. The bandit’s threats and defiance are met with nothing but disarming smiles, teasing words, and casual dominance—a constant, frustrating reminder that he is not in control.
And yet, Pure Vanilla doesn’t scare easily. No matter how many times Shadow Milk bares his teeth, throws biting words, or even lashes out, the farm boy stands firm, never once treating him like a monster. Instead, he tends to him with steady hands, feeds the horse Shadow Milk likely stole, and even pokes him on the nose, calling him “sugar cube” with a maddeningly warm smile.

Summary
If someone has that godly power, it could be a demon in disguise. Who knows why it holds so much hatred and boredom? What purpose was he sent down by the heavens? Of course he's a demon.. but he's treated like a god, being prayed for. A dark god, perhaps?
He comes once every year. Stays for 2 months, picks a random sacrificed bride, then disappears into his 'other-worldly realm'. That's what the villagers said.
Pure Vanilla was only sent on a mission to find out what was the source of that random energy outbreaks that sometimes occur in random places in Crispia, the source only led him to this village, but never has he known that he'll be a bride to this unknown god.

Summary
The lecture hall shimmered with midafternoon light, slanting in through tall arched windows and casting dust motes in slow spirals through the air. Shelves of ancient books stood as quiet witnesses, surrounding the space like a cathedral of knowledge. Blueberry Milk stood before his class, every movement deliberate, theatrical—each word a flourish.
He was in his element.
“Truth,” he announced, pausing mid-step, “isn’t always what we want it to be. No, no, it’s far more insidious, far more clever than that.” His monocle glinted as he turned, finger raised like a conductor cueing a crescendo. “It hides in perspectives, tucks itself between questions we’re too afraid to ask. And sometimes—yes, sometimes—it dares us to change.”
OR an alternate universe where soulmates exist and Blueberry Milk (the Sage of Truth) and Truthless Recluse are fated.
