SDVN Day 7. Friend
"Fine."
"What?"
"Fine. Fine! Fine!"
Pure Vanilla stared at Shadow Milk, ignoring Wind Archer and Black Raisin's gape. "…what's fine?" he tried. He hadn't expected to see Shadow Milk so soon in a non-combat setting. Let alone the jester suddenly appearing in his garden.
"Fine. I'll take your stupid friendship offer."
Pure Vanilla stared. Slowly, he felt his soul jam burst, the soul jam of truth… excited? To be honest, he couldn't blame it. He could feel his own excited grin form.
"What? Not gonna say-"
"REALLY?!"
"Wow, you're actually believing me?"
"Pure Vanilla, you told me he's the Beast of Deceit, there's no way you actually-"
"Yeah, no, she's right-"
Pure Vanilla reached up and cupped his face, staring into his eyes as his words drifted off. "Really?" he whispered, staring at Shadow Milk.
"…yes."
Tears rose up as he leaned up and pressed a kiss to Shadow Milk's brow.
"Thank you, my friend."
Day 7: Friend
PVs staff can’t take this shit anymore
SDVN Week Day 2: Secrets, "Light of Truth" x Shepherd Pure Vanilla
"Ohhh, Pure Vanilla! You're a lifesaver!"
"Oh, no, please, please, don't say that…"
His neighbor beamed at him. "Why not? Your remedies always have the best effects." She nudged him with the hand holding the tonic he had brewed up, teasingly. "What's your secret? It's like you always know!"
"Ah, well… mostly a lot of reading and gut instinct."
His neighbor sighed. "Ah, yes. Just think…" Oh no, he knew where this was going. "You're so talented, Pure Vanilla. Why on Earth did you refuse to go to that fancy school?"
This was a conversation that had been going on for years. The day he had refused to attend the Academy of Magic, the ones who had sent him a personal invitation, the village had been curious about it. Deep down, Pure Vanilla was sick of it. He even had a personal script for it by now.
"I just felt like my family needed the support more," he said, finishing with a pleasant smile that made it impolite to push.
His neighbor got the hint. "Well, thank you," she said. "Have a good rest of your day."
"You too."
He turned and walked away, trying his best not to run.
A warmth pulsed once he was sure out of eyeshot. Pure Vanilla glanced around, just to be sure, before he reached into his bag. Warmth pulsed again, this time under his fingers, and he picked it up.
The clover-shaped stone fit neatly in his palm. Even with his poor eyesight, he could make out its lovely blue, right before it spoke up. The gentle masculine voice made his shoulders slump with relief.
"You've gotten good at that lie, Pure Vanilla."
"It's not a lie if it's partly true," he said. At first, all he was focused on was helping his family, regardless of his talent. Nowadays, he had other reasons. He shook those thoughts away and focused. "Thank you again for your help. I wouldn't be able to brew that tonic without your help."
"What? Little ole me?" his friend teased. "You're the one creating a whole new class of magic!"
"Wha- no, no, that's not it. That's not what's happening." It couldn't be. The stone in his hand snickered, and Pure Vanilla felt himself relax again. "How are you doing, my friend?"
There was little he knew about his friend, the Light of Truth. He could not even explain how he discovered the stone. It just felt as if, one day, he was alone. The next day, the Light of Truth was there. Pure Vanilla didn't mind- despite the village's warmth to him, he didn't have many friends. The Light of Truth offered knowledge, offered help, offered company. As far as the cookie on the other side was willing to share, he had been sealed away a long time ago by a betrayal.
"Actuallyyyyyy…" He paused at the dragging out of the word. "I found a way out."
Pure Vanilla stared, wide-eyed. "…a way out? Are you certain?"
"Enough to tell you that I'll be by your side soon," The Light of Truth purred. "And I'll finally get to see your lovely face in person."
Before he could ask more questions, learn how long 'soon' was, the gleam of the stone died, Truth cutting off their connection. Pure Vanilla was left standing there. He blinked at the stone.
And then he took off at a run.
If 'soon' meant in a few days, he had so much to prepare!
Day 4: Magic

SDVN Week Day 4. Magic, SageRecluse/Truthlessage
Truthless Recluse was fascinating to watch.
The Sage of Truth did not even have to speak from his weak, so easily in love, heart. Scientifically, Truthless Recluse and the other beasts were fascinating to study. They were some of the oldest cookies on Earthbread, one of the few witch-baked who were still alive. Truthless Recluse had once been the Beacon of Knowledge, the first cookie to learn and understand magic, who had written and created many of the laws of magic and the spells still used today.
It was just a bonus that he was incredibly stubborn, with a gentle heart, and extraordinarily beautiful.
The Sage spat out a bit of jam and looked upwards. Even though he was bruised and bleeding and would definitely feel everything weeks from now, he couldn't help his grin.
Truthless Recluse was especially, beautifully, fascinating when he cast his magic.
You could feel it. It was like all of Earthbread sat up and paid attention as the dark orchid that made up the recluse's staff lit up with White Magic. The Sage definitely was, watching as Truthless Recluse mouthed something to himself, right before that staff was aimed right at him.
The Sage only had a moment to summon a shield, feeling the coldness of Dark Moon Magic, the magic he created, envelop him before the blast hit. Even as he gritted his teeth and focused on keeping the shield up, his eyes were locked on Truthless Recluse.
For a moment, he swore, the wonder of the magic faded.
Truthless Recluse smiled.
Thank you everyone for such a wonderful event! 💛💙 I loved seeing all your beautiful art and fics! There's still some posts set to be reblogged in the queue, and I'll be keeping an eye on the tags for the next few days to be sure I've shared everything. Feel free to tag me if I somehow missed you! And please check out the work that was shared on other platforms as well! I'm constantly overwhelmed by the passion and talent in this fandom, and I can't thank you all enough for lending it to a event I started on a whim. Thank you again! 💛💙
Does it happen that one of these two goes somewhere for a long time? In this case, who starts to miss each other first? Or do they practically never break up?
Sage: Often times I have to travel for my work, or when followers of the Tower of Knowledge seem to be on my trail, I'll do what I can to lead them astray. The recluse will also wander to collect herbs and berries for the remedies he creates. While much of it can be found in his impressive garden, a number of ingredients are multiple days journey distance from the hut.
I have my studies to attend to that passes the time, but do I miss our nightly talks.
However, the joyous feelings I have on the day when we reunite always heals any missing aches~
How did Sage and Recluse relationship to each other change over the course of their acquaintance?
Sage: When I first happened upon the recluse, I will admit I was a little...oblivious to his preferences in conversation. However, as time went on, I started to do more...listening. When I was in the tower, I was never really given time to listen, just expected to speak and answer whatever question was posed to me.
But the recluse...He taught me what it was like to slow down, to examine everything for what it was, not trying to disect every little thing I encountered-but to see it as a whole. I also started to feel more comfortable sharing stories about myself, instead of the world around me. He doesn't seem to get as mopey when I do~
Recluse: The Sage is...a bit of a handful sometimes, but it's been nice to hear about the world outside this grove. Things have changed since I secluded myself here, and while I still don't intend to make a habit of going beyond it, the Sage always brings back interesting stories to tell. He also doesn't get into nearly as many mishaps as he used to--
Though that, too, I sometimes miss.

A/N: Hello Hello Hello! My first CRK fic. Honestly it probably would have been a while had it not been for me becoming aware of SDVN Week! So thank you to the organizers for getting me in gear with this wonderful event!
SDVN Week Day 6: AU, Faerie Court
The call came in a gentle whisper of a breeze, gently pressing into his ear.
"My Puck…my dear friend… I need you."
Without a thought, he pulled away from the puppet show he was doing, ignoring the cries and groans of his puppets, and headed deeper into the woods. The moon was rising, bright and full, and by the time he reached his king, it was shining sweetly down on him.
Pure Vanilla, king of the grass fairies, looked over his shoulder and smiled at him. Even sitting in a tree overlooking a small clearing, he looked perfect and unruffled. "My dear Shadow Milk," he cooed sweetly, offering his hand. Shadow Milk took it and allowed his king to guide him down to the tree branch.
He was always doing that. While most wrote Shadow Milk off as a trickster, a liar, Pure Vanilla embraced him. He never seemed to mind Shadow Milk's oddities, like his hooves and horns, nor his jabs and pranks. He did mind his crueler pranks, but Shadow Milk didn't mind stopping those. He wasn't sure why- he had never been the kindest to Pure Vanilla, nor the friendliest- but his king had given him the honor of naming him his Puck, his jester, his right hand, and so he kept his mouth shut and soaked up the attention.
"Nilly," he sighed back, and Pure Vanilla beamed softly. "What brings you to call upon me?"
"I have a task for you," Pure Vanilla said, nodding down. "Watch."
Shadow Milk followed his gaze.
After a moment, bushes rustled and pulled apart, allowing a broad-shouldered woman with pink hair to walk through. She reached back and helped a smaller, pink-haired woman through. The first woman wore two backpacks while the second woman held a blanket and a lyre, allowing her other hand to grip the handle of a cane.
"They're lovers, from the city," Pure Vanilla explained softly. He probably could've shouted and the two wouldn't have noticed. The two seemed lost in their own world, whispering softly back and forth. The smaller one said something that made the other smile, right before she scooped her up and spun, prompting shrieks of laughter. "They're running away from the first woman's arranged marriage to start a new life together. Isn't that romantic?"
"Dramatic is what I would call it," Shadow Milk plopped down to watch the two, soaking in the way they interacted. Finally, they left. "You know what would make it even better?"
"What?"
"If her spouse-to-be was chasing after them, on horseback and everything."
They weren't the first people to try to cut through their forest to escape something. More than once, Shadow Milk had the delight of seeing horses charge after them- either the horses caught them, allowing him the gory delight of execution, or just crying, or the runaways would be clever and make a daring escape.
Pure Vanilla's smile strained, and he nodded down again.
The bushes rustled again. This time, a knight in dark armor stalked through, leading the reins of a dark horse. He didn't hold the bushes open for a slender young woman with white hair and a green and red dress, hurrying after him. She attempted to speak, he ignored her. Tears beaded up in her eyes, he scoffed. Every attempt at interaction was ignored.
Ooh. This was even better.
"Is that her would-be groom? And his ex?"
"I suppose so," Pure Vanilla sounded sad, and Shadow Milk only had to glance at him to know he was watching the white-haired woman. After a moment, he looked away, towards him. "I was hoping you could help the lovers escape, and help that poor girl."
"Hmm-"
"No murder."
"Aww," Shadow Milk had a few ideas, though. There was a flower he knew of, with delicate pink petals and a sweet pollen. Pure Vanilla himself had fallen victim to such a flower before, and Shadow Milk had delighted in seeing him so loopy over the moon before finding a cure. "Don't worry, Nilly, nobody will end up dead."
Pure Vanilla's smile could've outshone the sun. "I believe in you," he said, standing up. Shadow Milk followed and blinked as the smaller faerie was suddenly close, his hands pressing against his chest. "You always find a way."
Before he could think to ask for his line, Pure Vanilla leaned forward.
His lips burned, so sweetly, against his cheek.
And then, he pulled away, lifting up before Shadow Milk could even process.
"Have fun…"
SDVN Day 5: Color, Fox Pure Vanilla x Grand Mage
Boots thumped onto the ground of the caravan.
"You need more color."
"Ah, you think so?"
Pure Vanilla's new companion threw his hat over his shoulder. It appeared careless, but he was able to see the purple sparks that guided the hat to the hat rack. He set aside his mask, revealing the purple mark that stretched across one lavender eye, much more carefully. Pure Vanilla scooted up before he collapsed across the bed, sighing contentedly.
After a moment, he reached out, running his fingers across one of Pure Vanilla's tails. "You're all grey with the slightest hint of blue. It looks good, but it also gets boring."
"Thank you."
"That last part wasn't part of the compliment."
"I know," Pure Vanilla's tail twitched under the caress of his fingers. "I rather like my look."
"Yes, but-" Shadow Milk sat up and, with a poof of purple and glitter, a sketchbook popped up. Ah, he had been thinking about this for a while. He sat up and set aside his book, at least to appear polite. "How would anyone know we're matched together?"
Pure Vanilla hummed. "I think our marks would reveal it enough," he said, tugging on his collar. Grey fur poofed up there, but it failed to hide the pattern of purple diamond marks that made his familiar mark. He reached out, tugging on the ribbon bow that sat at Shadow Milk's throat. "At least, if you didn't cover yours."
Shadow Milk's throat was decorated with soft ombre blue-grey that more resembled the vines of vanilla orchids. He couldn't help but trace the marks, remembering the day that Shadow Milk had summoned him. He had his reservations, but so far, things were progressing rather well between the two- if the blush that was covering his summoner's face wasn't enough of a hint.
"Yeah, but, all good double acts have at least matching colors!" Shadow Milk pulled away, flipping through the sketchbook. He held up the pages. "Come on, at least give me your thoughts! I worked hard!"
"Alright, alright…"
Maybe, if he liked one of these, the fox could make his summoner consider taking on his colors.
His hair already had such a fetching shade of blue…
SDVN Day 3: Lonely, Nowhere to Go But Up Purefount
"Here we are," the assistant said. He paused before opening the door. "Remember, be respectful. The Fount is not fond of those who are unable to make their own decisions."
Pure Vanilla nodded, unable to resist fiddling with his staff. He wished he could've taken the time to at least freshen up- he had been traveling for weeks, and based on the looks he had been shot with, he looked like it. However, this was important. The Fount of Knowledge needed to be warned of what was coming, and Pure Vanilla needed to figure out a way to stop Silent Salt.
Maybe later.
"Thank you…" he said as the assistant opened the door.
"Ah, I am Black Sapphire," the assistant said, before turning his face towards the room. "My Fount? He's here."
Pure Vanilla stepped inside, unsure of what to expect. His people, who had lived in this kingdom years ago, worshiped the Fount of Knowledge. He had grown up with stories in his head. Despite it not being the point, he found himself a little frightened. What if the stories were untrue?
He looked up.
"Hello, Pure Vanilla Cookie."
His breath caught.
The stories were wrong.
The Fount of Knowledge was even more beautiful than described.
Long flowing hair gleamed with the beauty of the cosmos, framing an elegant and delicate-looking face. He wore a well-fitted suit that gleamed white, save for the cloak that descended into swirls of blue and black and gold. Over his throat, held in place by a necklace that looked like a cross between a ruffle and a ribbon, was the soul jam. Darting across blue skin was white freckles, leading his eye upwards to a blue fork marking on his forehead.
Like his eyes, one was a soft blue while the other glittered gold. Beautiful and so, so lonely.
He didn't realize he was crying until the Fount reached out and wiped away a tear. "Why do you weep?" he asked.
"I… I'm sorry, I'm allowing my own emotions get in the way," he said. He needed to focus, not think about how heartbreaking those eyes were. "Apologies, my Fount. I bring a warning."
The Fount's brow furrowed, but he didn't say a word. "What is it?"
"The Silver Tree is broken," Pure Vanilla said, straightening up and focusing. "The Beast of Silence is free. I-"
"I know."
He stopped. "You… know?"
The Fount of Knowledge scoffed, turning away to look out the window, towards the direction of the Faerie Kingdom. "I think everyone with strong enough magic could feel the tree breaking within a five hundred mile radius. I told Elder Faerie that it wouldn't last forever, that the wards needed to be updated… honestly, that man…how did he expect the tree to hold all five of us?"
"Five?"
The Fount barked out a laugh. "The Knight of Solidarity intended the thing to hold all five of us. He wasn't expecting us to awaken," he said, gesturing to his form. "It's ironic- he refuses to see how his own actions impact us, and I'm willing to bet that hasn't changed." He glanced back, and the loneliness had been joined by…
Pity.
Pure Vanilla had a feeling what he was going to say before he continued.
"Your arrival suggests that you are also looking for the beast binding ritual. I don't have it."
His hopes for the second part sank. "You… don't?"
"No. The Knight created it on his own, with Elder Faerie's help. But…" The Fount hummed. "I could create something similar."
His hopes rose up. "Allow me to help!" He stepped forward, barely stopping himself from grabbing the Fount's hands. That would be crossing a step, a crossing not given permission. "I know I am only a mortal, but this world is my home. Allow me to help protect it, to protect you."
The Fount blinked and opened his mouth. After a moment, he shut it. "You won't be convinced," he said, stating it as fact. "Alright."
"Wait, really?"
"Yes, I can tell from your face that you will stick around, even if I said no," The Fount headed towards the door. "Come, Pure Vanilla. Wash, rest, eat. Then, we will begin the work."
Pure Vanilla felt a smile form as he trailed behind.
This wasn't going how he planned, but he could help the Fount.
Maybe, he could even understand that loneliness in his eyes.
SDVN Week Day 1: Together, Yandere Pure Vanilla
"As long as we're together, I'm happy."
"I'm happy here with you too."
Then why do you leave?
He always left, in the end. Before he woke up in the morning, he would slip away in the night. No matter how hard he tried to stay awake, to make him stay, Shadow Milk would slip away, like smoke between his fingers.
It hurt. It reminded him of White Lily and her eventual fate. How long until Shadow Milk pulled away from him forever?
Pure Vanilla didn't understand what was wrong with him. Why couldn't he just be happy that Shadow Milk trusted him enough to return, to find comfort in his arms? Why couldn't he understand him?
He wanted someone to stay.
He was desperate.
This time, Shadow Milk wouldn't slip away.
Their routine began as normal. Shadow Milk appeared, and the two spent time together, each moment passing with the sweetness of his comfort. This time, he was rambling about Black Sapphire's show, something about a new thing he was trying. Pure Vanilla nodded and made encouraging noises as he brewed the tea.
Shadow Milk was so focused on his story that he didn't notice Pure Vanilla didn't sip his tea at all.
After tea, they moved on to their next activity together, traditionally paperwork, while Shadow Milk read or sewed. These moments were precious to him- especially now. Traditionally, they would work until Shadow Milk made him eat or sleep, upon which they would retire, and Shadow Milk would slip away.
Tonight, though…
He glanced back.
Shadow Milk was asleep, as planned. His face was collapsed in his book. Even his eyes were shut, snoozing away. His heart warmed at the sight as he stood, walking over. He reached out and smoothed his hand across Shadow Milk's back, moving down to his wrist.
He reached out and pulled out the cuffs.
Made of silver, enchanted against the power of the soul jam, they slipped easily around Shadow Milk's slender wrists. The moment they clicked on, a soft blue pulsed, allowing the cuffs to lock.
He would be angry, but he would be here, with him.
As long as they were together, Pure Vanilla was happy.
