#evil witch

{tw: dark themes based around Hansel + Gretel, reader death but is resurrected}

Bennet had the most unfortunate luck, having been created from nothing more than sugar and the remains of a small loved but worn teddy bear... His eyes were mismatched one black and blue, which represented the button and sky-blue marble.

But perhaps what was most tragic of all was his sole purpose in life. Which was to be the lover of his creator- a gingerbread witch. And she never seemed to mind his rather simple nature- having numerous tasks listed each day.

Bennet never strayed far from the house chores and garden while his 'love' stayed put inside the kitchen. Always cooking something. Their shared time together was almost fairy tale esque- but still Bennet preferred to remain outside in the sun or under the moon for whatever reason. No matter how much he tried he could not conjure any love for his maker.

Despite his true feelings, Bennet would always remain guilty setting out to find something. A present to make up for his own faults. On that day he decided to find the most beautiful rose to make up for all the real love Bennet could not give.

Somehow on his way back he had gotten quite lost- and was panicking at the thought of being unable to return home.

You were just a small child of a local woodsman who knew the entire forest. And despite your own task you were insistent on getting Bennet home.

It took more than a few days to make your way there... Bennet was surprised to learn humans needed rest, water and food quite frequently- his love never had a need for such things. But you did.

Though Bennet never minded having to make stops for you. It was quite a nice change of pace. And you had him more curious than he ever had been before in his entire life.

These seemingly never ending questions you would always indulge with a smile.

"I am sure you were the softest sort of teddy bear- back home I have a little lamb I cannot fall asleep without".

Having spent this time with you made Bennet come to the conclusion he was missing something within his life. A family could perhaps fill that space that his beloved never was capable of filling. Though this surely was a fault of his own and not on her... Never the fault of the witch.

Your shared journey with Bennet comes to an end when you reach the witches home. She comes to greet you both- with honeyed words.

So tired and sweet, without anywhere else to go you agreed to spend just a single night before returning home. Bennet went to work on finding gifts to send with you for your younger siblings {Hansel and Gretel} - but stopped in the middle of his work when he heard a strange sound..

Before this moment Bennet was too naive to realize what was being done in that house... At least this was the case until he stumbled upon what the witch had done to you.

Witches had names for what Bennet had become- to in turn devour the flesh of one's master was simply demonic. Though it did provide him with the necessary magic to fix the horror that occurred in these very woods...

You were soon the luckiest lamb around- lovingly stitched together with the finest fabrics and bound by sugar. Not a stitch in sight before the transformation took place.

Oh no, it's that damn Rytsu again! 🫦
