    Summary

    “Shadow Milk Cookie, I appreciate all your letters, but I cannot possibly respond to so many at once. I would also like to ask that you stop growing carnivorous roses in the royal garden, as they are starting to grow a craving for Gardener Cookie.”

    Or: Shadow Milk Cookie quickly discovers that being over the top and theatrical about his feelings for Pure Vanilla Cookie is the best way to avoid genuinely delving into them.

    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.

    Summary

    Shadow Milk Cookie lunges, fury incarnate, but Pure Vanilla is ready. He doesn’t raise his staff. Doesn’t cast. Doesn’t defend.

    He simply steps forward. And wraps his arms around him. Not in battle.

    In embrace.

    Shadow Milk freezes. His forehead presses to Pure Vanilla’s collarbone. Not gently. Not willingly. But needfully.

    “Don’t say you forgive me,” he says, voice ruined. “Don’t you dare.”

    “I’m not,” Pure Vanilla replies. “Not until you're ready to hear it.”

    The candles crackle. The walls hum. But in the center of the room, something quiet unfolds.

    Not peace. Not yet.

    But the possibility of it.

    And Shadow Milk Cookie—terrible and lonely and terribly alive—lets himself be held. Just for a moment. Just until the trembling stops.

    How cruel, then, how unthinkably cruel, that this moment must end.

    Because in three months’ time, he will be nothing.

    In three months’ time, his name will be only used in past tense.

    And Pure Vanilla Cookie will stand alone beneath the candied stars, cradling a broken body.

    Just to do it all over again.
