Light of Deceit that encourages and enables any possessive behavior of Shadow Milk's, if it means being able to spend more time near you.
Light of Deceit that pushes Shadow Milk to corrupt you, to make you into another agent of deceit...or to at least cocoon you in sweet, happy, comfortable lies.
Light of Deceit that loves to take your form, both because they enjoy looking like you, and because it usually lets them sway Shadow Milk into doing almost anything (if they don't use that trick too often).
Light of Deceit that would be willing to let you wield it, that encourages Shadow Milk to let you have his Soul Jam, at least for a little while...
Characters: Shadow Milk Cookie vs Pure Vanilla Cookie
Pairing: Romantic Rivalry
Type of Fic: Scenario/short
This was requested a long time ago so I assume the best place to write this was going to be the Shadow Milk chapter of Beast Yeast. However, I decided to catch up on Beast Yeast to try and make a plot different from what I usually do for these two.
Admittedly I am guilty of making this Shadow Milk Cookie focused... since Pure Vanilla is ao tame and Shadow Milk is always crashing out in this episode 💀.
I learned while writing this since I kept focusing on Shadow Milk... I can't write rivalry one-shots... Oh well I guess. This is mostly just them yapping at each other.
‼️SPOILERS FOR BEAST YEAST EP 14 SOMEWHAT, I USE IT AS A LOOSE PLOT‼️
Second Act
Beast Yeast EP 14 - Yandere! Shadow Milk vs Pure Vanilla One-shot
"You try to act all NICE... as though you never did what you DID!?"
The beast's voice is a growl, his jaw clenched as he stares at the ancient 'hero' in front of him. He hates him. He's always hated him since he first saw him. People always praise him for being so compassionate...
Always the ever walking ray of sunshine, huh!?
Shadow Milk... is pissed about this cookie's existence for a number of reasons. The first most obvious one is the fact he has his Soul Jam. It's all a painful reminder that Pure Vanilla is meant to be a replacement.
Shadow Milk simply wasn't... good enough... not for the cookies who came to him for knowledge... not to ANYONE.
Then there was the fact Pure Vanilla always liked to act like they KNEW each other. Two halves of the same coin and all that... hullabaloo. The audacity of him to act like the star of the show is some CHARITY CASE!
That is bad enough... The only good thing Shadow Milk got from Pure Vanilla was when he had his fun corrupting him. Yet... Pure Vanilla did introduce the beast to a new doll. A new little puppet he found... delightful for once.
You. You were a cookie that stuck to Pure Vanilla's side like a little assistant. He filled your head with all sorts of soft things... told you to help cookies whenever you could...
Yet all Shadow Milk saw was a lamb to lead astray for his own amusement.
Playing with Pure Vanilla and his other friends was fun and all... but you? Well... you became his favorite audience~! He's the STAR OF THIS SHOW... and you're meant to watch and adore.
Oh when you first were captured and placed in his spire... you and Pure Vanilla's reactions were so funny...! Pure Vanilla... oh he looked so scared...! You? Well, of course you were scared...
But you played your part.
Pure Vanilla, when briefly connected to Shadow Milk back at the spire, no doubt could sense what Shadow Milk felt... especially towards you. The beast... is a lonely abandoned creature.... Pure Vanilla no doubt knows the beast has found a twisted kind of companionship within you. Ever since the spire... ever since Shadow Milk got his claws on you...
You belonged to the beast.
You're Shadow Milk's favorite audience. His favorite little puppet. You nearly fell victim to his delusions at the spire.
Shadow Milk had made it a goal to visit you in the spire and mess with your mind. It's his favorite game... to pretend he's all sorts of things... to convince you deceit will always prevail.... However... more than anything...
The beast wanted to convince you to praise him... to stay with him... to help him spread his lies....
He'd never admit it... but Shadow Milk felt himself falling for this cookie's charms. You are sometimes so irritatingly like Pure Vanilla... yet so easy to mold. Taking you away from Pure Vanilla would be a decent way to break the hero...
It would also make Shadow Milk feel less... whatever, he doesn't need to confess anything.
Alas... of course the half-baked cookie ended up winning. He got his new shiny look from the Soul Jam, awakened his powers, and undid any sort of lies fed into your head. It makes the beast want to scream.
Pure Vanilla... somehow manages to take EVERYTHING from Shadow Milk. Shadow Milk sees how that goody two shoes acts with you. Always so kind, always so caring... yet Shadow Milk can see those darker thoughts in his counterpart.
Pure Vanilla, while acting all noble, wants you all for himself too. Shadow Milk can read him... he's a selfish cookie just like him. But no... you stay with HIM. ALL FOR WHAT?
If you want someone to act nice... Shadow Milk does that just fine.
But no... once again the golden hero steals everything... including Shadow Milk's newest toy. It irks the beast... but things aren't over. No, no, no...
That was just the first act...
Now this is where the fun begins.
"Where they at, huh!? Where's my little toy~?"
"Toy...? What are you talking about...?"
"DON'T PLAY DUMB YOU GNAT! I KNOW YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE. YOU ACT LIKE YOU CAN'T BE WITHOUT THEM FOR A MERE SECOND!"
Pure Vanilla bristles as the beast growls at him. He can see the jester twitching, frustration radiating off the master of deceit in waves. Pure Vanilla's grip on his staff tightens.
This was what the ancient hero feared.... He felt you wouldn't be safe in Crispia without him to protect you... yet you aren't safe here either. The airship you traveled with him in crashed... and you were focused on tending to other cookies.
Anxiety ebbs into the dough of Pure Vanilla, making his gaze darken. Keeping you with him was meant to keep you safe.... Yet all it has accomplished was attracting this beast to you.
Despite this... Pure Vanilla can't let the precious light of his life go... he vowed to protect you...
He won't let anyone take you from him.
"... they aren't here."
That one phrase... it makes the jester burst into manic laughter.
"OH HO HO~! Don't you DARE play this little game with me, worthless hero.... You really think you can lie to a MASTER of deceit!?"
The air thickens as eyes coat the air in a thick blue magic. The jester is tired of this... the fun was long over. Pure Vanilla was now... merely a pest...
The beast just wants his prize.
"You just want to keep them for yourself, hm~? Is THAT it? Just who is the beast here~?"
"They were never yours! Leave them alone... it's ME you want!"
The jester just rolls his eyes, crossing his arms.
"You? No, no, no... You're old news. You're just not fun anymore~! They... well, they're just lovely, aren't they~?"
Pure Vanilla holds his tongue. He's not one for violence... never was. He's always felt a need to protect you...
Even through isolation...
Even if it meant not another soul got to see you...
...
Were... were those HIS thoughts...? No... No, that's so unlike him.... Maybe this is another trick...?
Or maybe... Pure Vanilla really does feel such a way...
"... don't you dare try to deny it. You want to keep them... just like I do.... You aren't as noble as you pretend to be, are you, vanilla scented parasite~?"
Pure Vanilla winces at the beast's words. He's always tried to deny such thoughts within him. You... You deserve better than that...
But the thought of you leaving him....
"... They're better off with me, Shadow Milk... not in the hands of a beast...."
"OH NOW THAT'S RICH."
The jester clicks his tongue, floating closer.
"Better off with you...? Just so you can put them in a golden cage in fear of them HURTING THEMSELVES?"
"They NEED me...!"
"NEED YOU? HAH! I'm going to offer them so much MORE than you EVER COULD! Are you just scared that if you let them out of your sight they'll come crawling back to me...?"
"You isolated them...!"
"And you're saying you won't do the same?"
The air is tense between the two. They're quiet, the only sounds in the air the sounds of the other forces fighting. A war's going one... one to decide the fate of cookiekind...
Yet here they are... fighting for the fate of just one cookie.
"... face it... I won them fair and square at the spire, they're MY prize... I'll get rid of you eventually... and there's NOTHING stopping me from TAKING—"
SMACK.
The sound seemingly echoes in the air. It... makes Shadow Milk pause. Then... the pain sets in. His mismatched eyes glance up at Pure Vanilla and his bright awakened costume.
The sight is... amusing....
The hero's eyes are dark. His breathing is heavy, his grip on the staff tight Pure Vanilla seems too... out of it to realize what he did. Shadow Milk touches his face quietly...
He... He HIT him...?
He didn't think the stupid healer had it in him.
"... Don't... I won’t let you touch them... You... You FIEND!"
Shadow Milk stares, unsure if he should be frustrated or amused. It seems you mean a lot to the Soul Jam thief.... The thought makes Shadow Milk's hand twitch around his staff.
"... Silly vanilly..."
The beast coos, floating close enough to touch the hero. Pure Vanilla still looks defensive, now just hoping the others keep you out of harm's way...
Yet his thoughts are unable to linger when Shadow Milk grabs Pure Vanilla's robes, teleporting them both to that damn fountain of knowledge again...
"I'm going to ENJOY making you suffer.... I'll make you watch the deaths of your friends over and over.... I'll make SURE you see me take my little sweetheart again... all while I leave you here to DROWN. You can't save them... THEY DON'T NEED SAVING!"
Pure Vanilla nearly jokes as he's pushed near the milk of the fountain, his own frantic crazed eyes meeting Shadow Milk's.
"You... Oh YOU... You're going to fall... and I'll leave you here to collect my little doll... You're a joke, know that!? What do you have to say for yourself, hm? You hit me... all because I revealed the truth to your lies~!"
Pure Vanilla grits his teeth. The thought of you being given to the beast... it angers him. No... No, truth MUST prevail.... You need Pure Vanilla...
He needs to return to you... You need to be his...!
Then you'll be safe...!
"... They won't love you... if that's what you're looking for... if that's what you want from them based on what I saw when we were one... you won’t find it."
Pure Vanilla's words are bitter... and there's a deafening silence within the pocket dimension of Shadow Milk's dark world...
Then the beast's eyes flash with... something. Anger, envy, jealousy... offense.... Pure Vanilla doesn't get a proper look before he's practically waterboarded into the milk of the fountain.
"You don't know what I want... You don't know ANYTHING!" The beast barks, watching the hero flail in the fountain.
"Like it or not... I'll come out of this ON TOP! All while you writhe here pathetically~"
Shadow Milk laughs again, loud and manic....
"I'M THE STAR OF THE SHOW! ME! YOU'RE JUST SOME EXTRA WHO WANTS TO ACT LIKE HE'S SO MUCH BETTER!"
He then yanks Pure Vanilla out of the milk briefly, sneering when he sees the hero mirror his gaze despite frantic coughs.
"... you won't... find them...."
"Another lie... I'm not surprised..."
Shadow Milk scoffs, grip tight on Pure Vanilla's robes.
"Oh... I'll find them, I'll return my sweetheart to my side where they belong... but you?"
Pure Vanilla struggles when Shadow Milk holds him above the fountain again.
"You're going to stay here until you're soggy... until you crumble away... until you're NO LONGER MY PROBLEM! So... tata, vanilla scented failure~! I'll tell my darling you crumbled.... pathetically."
It's then Pure Vanilla is cast into the fountain... no doubt meant to drown.
Shadow Milk however... leaves the reminder of his past. The beast has bigger things to focus on. Most importantly...
The beast has a certain toy to collect from this chaotic battlefield... A goal he can't help but fixate on... He doesn't bother checking to see if Pure Vanilla succumbed or not...
But perhaps he should have... as Pure Vanilla manages to claw himself out of the milk.
For now... he needs time to recover... yet once the hero is recovered?
He'll collect you back into his arms... safe and sound... with the help of his friends... after all this he can't possibly let you out of his sight EVER again... Hopefully you'll see you need him as much as he needs you.
I never wrote Yandere, so this might be bad, and sorry if timekeeper cookie is off character. Okay, off we gooo!
Warnings: bad English, toxic behaviour, kidnapping, stalking, obsession. Remember, this fanfic sole purpose is for entertainment, this kind of Behavior is not okay! If you go through something similar seek help!
• there are some ways you could have met, you could be working at TBD, or perhaps you caused trouble like some cookies but my favorite one is if you were from a timeline that never was supposed to exist. For those headcanons I will go by if the reader worked at TBD, I can explore other concepts but tell me if you guys want!
• You expected everything, not that you would join TBD, first of all, you didn't even knew that it existed! You wouldn't call yourself the most talented, the cookies that work there are very determined and hardworking, so you don't know why they even bothered to hire you...
• You decided to agree and successfully joined TBD, you don't have anything to lose, so it's okay! Although you were kinda sad to leave your timeline behind... But everything will be alright! oh and btw, if your thinking to join the emergency neutralization division, don't. If you ever tried to submit a form requesting changing Divisions or one of your supervisors saw potential that could really help the team, she wouldn't agree with the idea, saying things such "They aren't ready" or "they just started, give them some time to warm up!" And end the conversation there, any attempts of persuasion would be met with a long sinister stare and a small smile, as she starts to avoid the subject entirely.
• After some time working there, you would notice the director lingering more around you, never interacting at first, it looked like she was analysing from afar... which was unusual of course, but you decide to shake that felling off because she is your boss, of course she is going to see how you are doing! Expect for the fact that she only does that with you... If someone asks she will simply say that she was bored or saw potential in you, which wasn't a lie, for you to get the attention of timekeeper cookie herself, you must be very unpredictable.
• Timekeeper keep things slow, because after all, she have all the time in the world, but the priority is playing her moves right, she doesn't want to scare you or make you think anything bad about her, so she treats this like a game of chess.
• When she first saw you, was through a glimpse of a timeline, she saw how curious and refreshing your behavior was and couldn't get you to leave her mind, that's why she recruited you! Not only because she gets to see you in person (cookie?) but the main reason was to isolate you entirely from your friends and family, two birds in one stone!
• Overtime she would appear more frequently, and even start conversations and offer you tea (of course, after making sure you were completely comfortable and used to her presence) to the point you would see her almost everyday, which was so bizarre, because she had the reputation of letting the TBD learn to stand on its own, but here she is making some tea while watching you working to "analyze your performance" (we all know that this isn't true.)
• If we are taking the platonic route, I see her looking into this relationship like a mentor and apprentice, or maybe a doctor who kind of relationship. Messing around with time rifts is nice and all, but doing it alone can get boring, that's why when she saw she knew you were perfect to fulfill this role. But if we are taking it to the romantic route, I can see her longing for companionship, someone to share chaotic and calm moments with her.
• Oh and about rivals, she wouldn't worry a bit! She looked into countless timelines, and you would always end up sticking together! So why worry? And she would make sure to keep it that way. But if someone has any funny intentions she is quick to interfere, which is easy! Someone from your division getting too close for comfort? Transfered to another Division! Someone from your timeline that is trying to contact you? Ops it seems like that timeline needed to be cut! Can't leave loose ends, can we? The only way she doesn't interfere is we when it is someone too important from to TBD to afford the loss, in that case, she would make clear to not interact with you. She would only only do all of that if she is a 100% sure that this person will interfere in her relationship with you, after all, as much as she would like to be the only person in your life, she doesn't want to see you depressed for being alone.
• After befriending you, she would linger around you constantly. Going to eat something? Don't worry, she will join you! You are having difficulty in your job? Why worrying about it, take a break with her! Although she is the director, she manages her time well (haha, get it? Because she controls time... Sorry-) so she always has time for you. If you are looking at it from the outside, it looks like she is always around you and never doing her job, but it's the opposite, she manages all her assignments and ends everything quickly and with perfection, that's why the enormous amount of free time, she may be "silly", but she's terrifyingly smart.
• She would know you more than you know yourself, so if you show any sight of discomfort, she would already know and take action. She knows a lot about you, but even so, she always is vigilant for any new info or reactions she can get from you.
• She doesn't need to take photos or write about you, her memory is incredibly sharp, so remembering even the smallest details is really easy for her.
• When she is 100% sure you trust her enough, she makes her move, and promotes you to her assistant, so now you can't leave her side and get to see her everyday, although it doesn't look really like you are really her assistant, she does most of the job and you don't have much to do, so you end up just sticking close to her, but there are times where she leaves the TBD and goes to inspect time rifts, so you are given some time to breath, only for her to come back and goes rambling about her day and asking about yours (even if she already know everything that happened)
• One day she might give you a proposal, being her assistant isn't enough, she needs you to stay with her all the time, without the dangers of the TBD, so please, accept it, it is just like this in every timeline! So just accept that your fate is already pre-determined.
• Platonic route: she offers you a position at her side as her apprentice, showing different timelines, studying time pockets and causing havoc, it will be so fun! She will teach you so many things, she just needs to deal with your mortality first and resistance in time rifts, but worry not, she already did that one time, she can do it again! Wouldn't it be fun to have powers like her? So why decline?
• Romantic route: Not much differs from the platonic route, except this time she offers you a position at her side as her companion for life, as she promises that no one would harm you and she would protect you with her life.
If you accept: She is excited! She already expected it, of course, but she finally has a companion, now she will never get bored again... You two will make a good duo, she knows it! When she teaches you everything she knows, no one will be able to stop you both, not even a certain... Clown.
If you decline: oh, oh... She wasn't expecting that, no really, it's the first time she genuinely feels confused, but she keeps herself composed and tells you it is okay, her life is too chaotic for you anyway... Ha, ha, no. You stayed with her in EVERY timeline, why wouldn't you want to stay with her in this one? Maybe you are confused? Perhaps you need... A little push. There are two ways this could go:
1. She will frame you for a time crime
2. She will frame your death
Wanted to go to the emergency neutralization division right? Go on, but looks like something went wrong and she just saved you in a nick of time! Want to stay as her assistant, that's fine by her! She will just frame you like she framed the gingerbrave crew and say that "she will take you to time prison" she won't, you won't escape her grasp again.
There's no winning with her, the only way to really "escape" is entering a timeline without the TBD knowing and sticking to one of the ancients, since they can't interfere because of the soul jams, but she would find a way to get to you, don't matter how much time it takes, you were hers the moment she laid her eyes upon you.
If I would rank her as a Yandere, she would be one of the most dangerous to grab the attention, aside from shadow milk, the thing with him is that he is genuinely insane...
