This is a very DARK AU. You can find out a bit more about it on my twitter.

Here's a different part

Recluse not wanting to get back into a relationship with Sage because of how long he’s protected the person harming his children and having his trust in him practically destroyed thanks to Black Sapphire’s actions.

Truthless Recluse rubbed the blanket, eyes lingering on the shoddy work he'd done, and the places where the knit caught on fingers and nails and rings and buttons. It was one of the few things he brought with him from the Peak when he moved in with Sage.

"Papa?" His daughter approached and felt around his bed for him.

"I'm here." He gently took her hands and guided her over to hold his hands on her lap.

"Who was that cookie?" She asked, "Starlight says he looks like his new doll and you look like the other."

Truthless Recluse raised an eyebrow and leaned forward to peek down at his son.

Starlight Vanilla, unaware they were talking about him, kept playing with his two new dolls.

He sighed and leaned back, "He...was a cookie I knew a long time ago." He looked at his daughter's milky-golden eyes. Her screams from when she was sick haunted him. How could her own brother, meant to love and cherish her, try to kill her? He brushed her blue bangs back from her face, she flinched at first, but relaxed and nuzzled his palm.

"Starlight said he looked like me..." she frowned.

She did. She was his spitting image, from her sharp nose to her pretty little smile and her beautiful blueberry dough.

Truthless Recluse smiled softly, "No." He kissed her forehead, "You're prettier."

"Papa!" She giggled.

He hoisted her onto his lap, "And infinitely kinder and smarter!" He smothered her cheek in kisses and got her to squeal with delight. "And sweeter and more clever!" He blew a raspberry on her cheek. She laughed and squirmed in his hold.

He hugged her tightly and gently rocked her from side to side.

He had no intentions of returning to Sage. They were happy and fine where they were.

"I love you papa..." Pure Starberry whispered.

This was interesting for MK and Red Son, usually when they were babysitting Yan Lin it was them staying at the Bull Family Fortress. But this time they brought her to their Hideout.

Why?

Because the Fortress was getting some guests in the form of extended family that they have literally not seen in centuries to a millenia. And Princess Iron Fan didn't want any of them near Yan Lin any time soon.

So she was staying with them for a couple of days, which was being called 'Getting used to having a child in their home'.

Things were going pretty smoothly, though bath time required MK to get into the tub with Yan Lin...

Boy did Red Son find the sight appealing, because he can't wait for his kids to be in this scenario.

When it came to feeding, MK was glad that Yan Lin wasn't in a picky eating phase yet. Though the stream of fire when she burped was interesting.

MK ducked down just in time to avoid it, and stared wide eyed above him. Red Son who had just entered the kitchen was also shocked.

MK turns to Red Son, "What was in that baby food mix?!"

"It was a simple fruit and vegetable puree! She's probably gaining some level of fire abilities." Red Son replied.

Yan Lin was just as confused as the two of them as to what just happened, but she was at least not crying.

When this information was relayed in the family group chat, there was a comment about that happening with Wukong and Red Son... only Wukong wasn't able to avoid the fire.

Myrtle didn’t expect to meet her son’s new partner when he stumbled into the prayer room, wearing the Fount’s robes.

A hand raised. "How can you tell which is which?"

The Lamb hummed as they looked out at the classroom. YC sat up politely, while most of Kallamar's spouses looked bored. Heket's girlfriend, Maria, seemed to be taking notes. Yngya, for some reason, was there, waving as they made eye contact. The Goat was simply sitting there.

They, just like Yngya, waved as they made eye contact.

…okay.

"Well, Heket is the only female sibling, so she's the girl. Shamura's the eldest, so they're the old one."

YC laughed gently. "And Leshy is Leshy, so Kallamar is the suck-up."

None of Kallamar's spouses looked offended. The lead, a raccoon named Sasha, simply shrugged. The Lamb couldn't help but chuckle. "Good job! So, not all of these survival strategies for them as in-laws will work for all of you, since-"

The Goat raised their hand.

"…yes?"

"So, where does Narinder fit in this?"

"The old one," Maria said.

"No, he's the gremlin," one of Kallamar's spouses said.

One of the others eyed him. "…Narinder?"

"They do have a point," Yngya said, which only added fuel as everyone else started to talk, debating.

The Lamb sighed.

Their kids, having been raised in the barren, have missed out on certain things. Starlight Vanilla has never seen anything with bright colors, and Pure Starberry has never heard any music besides the occasional sad humming from spirits. If Recluse would ever allow Sage to meet them, Sage would definitely have gifts prepared. A music box with a happy tune for Pure Starberry, and a colorful little doll for Starlight Vanilla.

Sage returns the following day with a bag of things.

"What's all this?" Veiled Lily frowns. This is twice now Sage has interrupted their work.

"In case you're able to pass a message on to Recluse and the children." Sage said, setting the bag down, "Recluse mentioned Pure Starberry was blind," the whispers from the figures in the pews paused and he decided he enjoyed the cathedral far less when there was no noise, "So," he lifted a small wooden ball from his bag, "I brought her this...I made it shortly after she was born. For the nursery." His fingers trembled. He'd clung to so much from the nursery after Recluse left with their babies.

Veiled Lily carefully took the music box and lifted the lid. A soft, twinkling melody began to play, and a small cracker duck bobbed up and down on wooden waves.

"A-And this," Sage reached in, "Recluse mentioned Starlight Vanilla was deaf in his last letter to me. I thought, since he cannot hear the beauty of the world," he pulled out a pair of dolls that were obviously meant to be Truthless Recluse and Sage of Truth, "He could see it."

The dolls were the two most colorful things Veiled Lily had seen since her own fall from Virtue-hood.

She carefully took the lovingly knitted dolls and held those in her hands as well. "I'll be sure to pass these on...thank you."

"A-And one more thing!" Sage pleaded. He pulled out a large, folded blanket. "It...Recluse crafted this long before we were together." He handed it to her, "It's been on our bed ever since...he once said its history and weight was the only thing that could ground him in reality..." he rubbed the soft, worn knit, "It...seems a waste to stay with me...when it could help him."

Veiled Lily eyed him, "Are you sure?" He seemed attached to the blanket.

"Hm- oh! My dear! What brings you here so late tonight? If I knew you were coming, I would've put the kettle on much sooner!"

"…You mentioned something in your lecture today that reminded me of an old spell one of my students created. I figured you might be interested in the treatise they wrote up."

"Oh, you-! You lovely creature, how generous of you! Please, please, come inside!"

"…Alright."
