    Summary

    What lingers first in Pure Vanilla’s memory are two eyes— cyan and blue. 

    They were not simply colors, not merely shades to be catalogued among the blossoms that lined the Vanilla hills. They were shadows caught in ice, stars buried in snow. And in the middle of all that frost, a boy who looked too small for the crown that would one day press against his brow, eyes too large for the timid boy who held them.

    Pure Vanilla had not known then that love could strike so young. 

    He had thought it the sort of thing that bloomed late, like the orchids that only flowered when the sun coaxed them after patient months of waiting.

    But with Shadow Milk, it was not coaxed— it was immediate.

    Pure Vanilla is six, and he knows he's in love.

    (It never changes)

    Summary

    A final thought came to him.

    Eventually... He would slip into his permanent drift.

    Not sleep. Not death. Something slower. Quieter. A dream that never ends.

    In it, perhaps, he could build the world he never had. A world untouched by betrayal, unburdened by power.

    Or maybe… he’d dream of what came after. Where he no longer had to be good or wise or anything at all.

    Perhaps he’d see them again there, Eternal Sugar, Mystic Flour, Burning Spice, Silent Salt; shadows of themselves, softer, kinder.

    But maybe not.

    It didn’t matter.

    The dream would be his.
     

    Shadow Milk is torn between further corruption and redemption. But comfort is easy to fake. Paradise is easier to build when it’s built on lies. Maybe he’ll make his own.

    its so devastatingly beautiful, very very sad be warned if the authors notes aren’t enough warning.

    Summary

    “I did love you in that way.” She pushes, finishing her mini project and looking at him directly. “I don’t think I showed it enough, but I did.”

    He glances at the ring glimmering on his finger, a gemstone that shines a vibrant cerulean in the sun and glimmers a cyan hue in the dark. His gaze then moves to the milkflowers in his hands and how much lighter it felt in his palm than the high-maintenance lilies ever were. “You did enough. Enough for me to do better.”

    Just not with you, is left unsaid.

    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.
