I've finally arrived at the Cookie Kingdom. A humble little place bustling with all kinds of cookies from all around the world. I'm only one day in my visit and I can already see why many cookies are drawn to this place. Everyone here is so friendly, and it reminds me of just how sweet our world is. I bless this kingdom with a bright future ahead of it, so they may continue to bring happiness and sweetness across Earthbread.
Oh! Another thing to note. I met someone who goes by Espresso Cookie, it should've been a normal conversation, I've had plenty of those before. But what stands out the most with this cookie is how they saw right through me. No one has ever figured out that I have something to hide when it comes to visiting places. And yet this cookie could sense the hidden magic I used to hide my wings. . .
It was still a pleasant conversation, he even complimented the magic I used. And he's also kind enough to not pry as to why I used hidden magic, since he can tell it wasn't anything malicious.
And for that, I am grateful. I wish to speak to him again though, our talk of magic lasted for hours, and I wish to talk with him some more.
Journal Log #30
I arrived at a forest near a place where flower scents are made, and in that forest I came across a peculiar cookie. He was collecting cake logs, I think it's for a campfire. This one is an odd cookie, I can sense contentment in their spirit, but I can also sense his loneliness.
Cautiously, I offered to keep him company under the guise of being lost in the woods. I was fully prepared to be rejected, but to my surprise, he had a kind soul. I can sense his own caution at my presence, but he still went ahead to accompany me until I find my way to the flower city.
He also said his name is Dark Choco Cookie and I introduced myself shortly after. His company is quiet, we didn't exchange words much, but it was never uneasy. It was quite comfortable actually. It's been a while since I felt this kind of quiet peace in the company of someone else, it's unexpected, but it is very welcomed.
Hey, hyper anon here...had this idea for a self aware cookie run x readers series or one shot If you're interested! It's kinda based off your imposter au!
Y/n gets transported into game and brought before the imposter! The imposter starts talking but then y/n claims they wanna talk to the imposter in private! When they talk in private, only the imposter and y/n, y/n reveals that they just want to live a normal life among cookies and they are totally fine with the imposter being the ruler of the cookies because they seem very cool and being a ruler seems too stressful (bonus: y/n doesn't feel worthy of being the cookie's ruler as well because they don't have powers or something like the imposter does...and bonus bonus if the imposter can do stuff like summon amazing cotton candy and stuff to bribe cookies with!) Imposter calls cookies in and apologizes for the misunderstanding and 'mistaking (favorite flavor) cookie as an imposter' and apologizes by helping them find a home and a place!
Oh and later on...cookies read imposter's dairy and discover that imposter is...well an imposter, and what their baker said to them and the little...deal they made (imposter being ruler, y/n just living their life as a normal cookie citizen of kingsom) but has an evil yet good plan (good in y/n's unknowing eyes, bad in cookie's eyes) where the imposter has slowly been bribing y/n and winning their heart so even if they are found out, y/n is singing their praises from on high and would vouch for them! (Example of bribes: giving y/n their favorite sweets, becoming their closest friend...which leads into something that would horrifying cookies more because jealousy, showing y/n amazing tricks, and taking them to places one could only DREAM of and more!) Thing that horrified cookies: the imposter was first doing it out of manipulation but is clearly starting to actually LIKE the baker and wants to be their friend...not to charm em to have the cookie's sweet baker singing their praises!
So, in order to get their y/n back and make y/n sing THEIR praises instead and make y/n WANT to he the center of their world...they start counter bribing! They start doing nice things to and for y/n, claiming that it's because they want to welcome y/n at first and then slowly up the spoiling...giving y/n more and more attention, making sure y/n is melting at THEIR fingertips and not the imposter's...making y/n desire them and not the imposter.
And when time is right...imposter is exposed! Imposter tries to get y/n on their side....buuut y/n can't resist the cookie's siren call of a sweet beckon and possibly a cute saying along the lines of 'oh sweetheart, come to [cute nickname they call themselves]' or 'oh [cute nickname], you shouldn't stress about this buisness...come, let's go home and [activity they like or find relaxing...examples, go bake some monster muffins to munch on or go cuddle or give y/n a backrub or something]' and it makes y/n go running to them like a savior unable to resist a siren's call.
A/n: Omg I want this to be a series, so this is gonna be like mostly my brain rotting rambles and small portions of little fics so we can build off it later on in the series
All the writing in purple is the little fics, default color is just my rambles and headcanons about it
“Imposter for Baker? Count me in!”
Series masterlist
- Just imagine little cookie y/n plopping into the cookie verse like “oop, guess this is my new life now.” They just start living a normal life on the outskirts of their kingdom so no one can find them. Cause, if you you were transported to a new universe, you would think you were their god/baker or they were gonna try and hunt you down. Soooo y/n decided to keep to themselves and not let their presence be known yet.
- BOOM! There’s news of the “baker” being spotted and brought to the big castle to take there throne and high power blah blah. The Imposter looks similar to you, just with purple eyes(If you have purple eyes… now you don’t). You can’t tell what the true bakers eye color is because the statues aren’t painted, so the imposter fit the bill well.an they had powers! It has to be their baker then!
- Y/n is absolute happy about that! They get to sit back and relax, they go in public now and just tell cookies they just were “ blessed with the looks of their baker” and how they aren’t them. Some of the cookies were extremely skeptical but let it slide since they said they weren’t their baker and weren’t trying to impersonate them, cause the imposter is totallyyyy the real baker!
“You look oddly familiar..” Pure Vanilla looks Y/n up and down.
The cookies surround Y/n, trying to figure out why you look exactly like their baker.. just with your boring eyes, not neon purple eyes like their totally real baker has. Espresso has a magnifying glass in your cookie face, looking at all the detail.
‘Uhhhhhhh… I was just blessed by our baker, and uh, they blessed me with their beauty and I’m not them. I don’t have purple eyes or cool powers! I’m just trying to live a normal life like everyone else.” You say, any normal person would have seen right through you and what you were saying, but the cookies believed you. You weren’t claiming to be their baker so they have no reason to not let you live a peaceful life, it could just be an odd coincident!
“Well they don’t seem like their lying.. Guess they get to go peacefully for now till the Baker decided what’s to do with them.” Milk shrugs, everyone nodding and humming in agreement with Milk.
- Once the imposter finds out you’re there they are instantly scared. What if you go hunting them?! Or take the throne and execute them?!
- They order a few cookies to go collect you so they can have a one on one talk with you disguising it as a dinner twitch their “look a like” for funnies. Once the cookies bring you back, the imposter leads you away to a more secluded room in the castle so no one can spy on you both as they question you.
“This is my throne and-“ The imposter started once they closed the door the small storage room.
“You can keep it, I don’t want to be the ruler of this kingdom, just live a normal life.” You interrupted, you looked pretty calm about the whole ordeal while the imposter looked like they’ve seen a ghost.
“Wait.. what? You’re just gonna let me keep it.” The imposter look dumbfounded, not actually believing you’ll let them keep at this power. They thought they wold have to threaten you or make an official announcement that you’re an imposter and let the cookies hunt you down for the. “Not even gonna put up a small fight.? I didn’t even get to finish my monologue I worked so hard on..” :(
- You got to live a pretty normal life under the imposters rule. Until Pure Vanilla decides to go through the imposters room and found a diary, I snooped through it and read it….. Finding out you’re the real baker! -insert Pure Vanilla doing surprised pikachu face- He was flabbergasted(I love this word so much for no reason) He didn’t expect to be worshipping the WRONG baker the entire time and their real baker was being bribed to like the imposter and be their friend. So if the imposter gets found out, you’d take Imposters side over the cookies! He also found out how you never wanted to be Baker and let the imposter take your spot! D:
- It clicked in Pure Vanilla’s head, you have been spending loads of time with the imposter and received even as house from them and gifts. He came up with an idea to also bribe you! He gets the other cookies in on it.. It’s basically a full on war!
- your house is basically full of gifts from all the cookies and you’re absolutely clueless on what this about and you didn’t mind it at first till you could barely see your living room floor from all their gifts piled up in there!
Who will win the real baker? Imposter or the cookies? Find out on the next episode of “Imposter for Baker? Count me in!”
A/n: kept it very open ended so the other parts of this series will fit well :D
more radio silence please I need more you know what scratch that I need more Espresso Cookie x Male Reader I'll call it silentcoffee heheheheeheh I'm not getting fed enough Espresso Cookie x Male reader
Plot twist I'm asking for the Bochum Engines this time. (Just for some variety) The first time racing with them, as their S/O on top of that. The world finds out that coach/truck/ freight reader is dating a champion racer on their first race together.
(As always you don't have to do all of them)
😘❤️❤️❣️
You know what? It might be a lot, but just because I haven’t done anything like the internationals yet I’m still doing all of them. Call me stupid, but I feel like it.
This took so long and I’m very sorry. I’ve been going through a lot lately and even though I love Stex I’ve also fallen a bit out of the fandom, but I’ll most likely still accept requests. They will remain closed for now. I did see a show in London lately and it reignited the feeling to get back to writing so yaaaay :] it was amazing and shout out to my friend for getting me a ticket and being so amazingly sweet for it <3
Also I was fighting demons to try and make all of these somewhat different from one another-
---
Coco
This is one of the proudest women in the fucking world. So the fact that you’re behind her makes her even more insufferable in that regard. To the others that is, she cannot stop bragging- That’s just a plus for you though
She has no doubt in her mind that she’ll win together with you. You’re perfect for her after all so there is no way that you will slow her down in any way. You two will win together and you will celebrate with each other’s company in the end
This might be the first time riding with you, but the two of you know each other so well by now that she knows, not thinks, knows that it will go perfectly.
Then you have the others finding out about you being Coco’s S/O. They’re actually shocked, what do you mean Coco has a partner? And one she debuts during a race?!...
Actually that’s very in character for her and the moment the others realize this, they all just kind of. Deadpan? I think that’s the best way of saying it. They do congratulate you and her for being together.
The only one who has a problem with it is Bobo. Because how dare his sister not tell him that she has a partner?! He’ll act super obnoxious and dramatic about this fact. Coco just tells you to ignore him.
In the end Coco is just proud of you for being behind her and supporting her like that. She’s so immensely happy that she could show you off like that. Especially because she knows her partner will be the spotlight in every single room.
No, you cannot convince her otherwise. Don’t even try, she might just show you off anymore. Or do if you like being paraded around and the attention you’ll get.
Bobo
“FINALLY!” Yeah no he’s been waiting for a long time for the next race or in general the fact he could race with you behind him. He absolutely loves the fact he can show you off and is literally no better than Coco, even though he’d like to try and deny it often.
He’s making sure everything is absolutely perfect for this and the moment the announcement comes in calling out your and Bobo’s names, he takes all the applause and points at you to get the audience to clap for you as well.
Nobody is surprised that Bobo has a S/O because he literally will not shut the fuck up about you. He absolutely loves talking about you, showing you off, reminding everyone you exist that the moment he shows you off it’s kind of a long time coming.
Coco just greets you after the race, as she’s seen you before and has to hear Bobo constantly talk about you. Please save her, she’s sick and tired. She wishes to talk about literally anything else, even though you’re wonderful.
Either way he’s honestly at his best when you’re behind him, easily swerving and going through the motions of the race. Before you know it, it’s the end of the race and the two of you did amazing as expected.
He will shower you in attention afterwards and is just so happy that you would race with him. Careful though if you’re not much of a racer, he’ll just kind of look at you with batting eyelashes until you’re ready to do it again as he loves racing with you.
Bobo would never push you into doing what you don’t want to do, but he is a bit of a whiny baby about it, trust me.
Espresso
Will absolutely attack you in kisses the moment you want to race together with him. Oh he would be so incredibly happy and honored and he could just eat you, you’re so cute.
You’d think he’d not be able to be more extravagant with his acts of love and such things like that, and yet here he is making himself shine even more than he usually does, just to look perfect for you when he races with you
Please ask him to do your makeup for the race, trust me he’ll love it so much. He’ll make sure to put extra details in there to make you so beautiful that you’ll definitely take the breath of the audience away.
At this point the competition needs sunglasses with how shiny and bright the two of you are. Which honestly would work in your favor so don’t change anything no matter what anyone says.
I will say that I feel Electra in the background would be so offended that you two are more shiny than his LEDs and like that’s funny so continue to rub it in, it’ll be funny.
With Espresso people finding out about the relationship is the same exact thing as with Bobo: Nobody is surprised. Like at all. He constantly gushes about your beauty and your shared interests and how cute you are when talking about interests he doesn’t understand for a moment.
Doesn’t stop him from continuing to show you off, his talks about you now finally being able to be viewed by every and all trains in the yard as well as the audience. He’s so proud to call you his and he’ll continue to show it off.
Ruhrgold
Super honored, but does give you a bit of a warning with how dangerous it is to race. Especially after last year when he almost was thrown off the railing by Greaseball and absolutely beaten, he’s very hesitant to let his S/O do anything honestly.
After a lot of convincing and ensuring that you’ll be okay, he does agree in the end. He does love the idea of having you behind him, it makes his day even. Be prepared to be very protected though, because he won’t let anyone touch you before, during and after the race.
People are actually quite shocked about the fact that Ruhrgold has a partner. Everyone would just be surprised as he does seem the one to be open enough to share he has one, but honestly it would just be things slipping his mind as other things are more important to talk about at that moment or other understandable reasons.
Honestly they’d love to meet you though! I think it’s the only proper introduction you’re going to get in this line up honestly. He introduces you to all the engines, kind of blocking you still in case someone thinks they can snatch you away cough GREASEBALL AND ELECTRA COUGH COUGH.
In the end though he enjoys the race with you. After realizing that you won’t just go down by a little hit he feels a lot better and does his best with you behind him. He’s incredibly proud of you and although he won’t know how to properly say it, he’ll definitely show you how proud he is!
Manga
Very honored that you would want to ride with him. The moment he asked he played it cool, but you could see a spark in his eyes light up as he agreed to race with you.
Will be extremely humble about it and honestly would talk to you about how you would like to be treated during all of this. Would you just like to join him behind him and enjoy the moment like the normal races go? Would you like him to go a bit out of his way to show you off?
The moment the two of you come out, he’ll stick to what you two discussed. He’s polite like that. Although you can practically see him beaming for you to be behind him as the two of you get announced.
I don’t think people are surprised by the fact that he is together with someone. Manga is pretty mysterious and so people don’t know much about his private life, because of this they know to not expect anything, but also not to cross anything off.
Either way everyone is rather nice to you. Outside of the race that is, we all know how crazy the races can get… and do get.
Manga truly enjoys racing together with you and is just happy that you two participated. As long as you two are safe and have fun, that’s all he really cares about. Obviously he’ll do his best, but he won’t throw a tantrum if he loses.
He’s just happy he didn’t crash this time-
Turnov
Honestly a bit unsure, after all if you look at just how crazy and intense the races are, you’d understand why he wouldn’t be too happy to just thrust you into that position. After all, if you're a threat, people will want to get rid of you.
After a bit of back and forth he does eventually cave and let you race behind him. Be warned though, if someone even slightly touches you he’s throwing hands. This man will fight for your honor, do not test him.
Honestly I think people would be surprised to see him together with someone. He isn’t really the person to be showing off, so for him to like let the entire world see his partner behind him in the race? It’s shocking to say the least.
The two of you absolutely kill it in the race. As you two are completely in sync as well as a power couple. You won’t let people get in cheap shots and Turnov would rather crash than let anybody touch you.
In the end he shows you off a bit, proud of you. After that he needs to recharge though, instead of celebrating he’ll grab you and have a night in. Enjoying your company.
He’s really sweet, but rather quiet when it comes to post race stuff. He needs to regain his energy and so he makes sure to just take it easy with you so he can properly celebrate with you.
Brexit
Man’s so happy that he can finally race and he gets to race with you? Double win for him. After all the last time he tried to race he kind of had to drop out so the fact he gets to actually do this now.
Oh how he’ll talk non stop about how he’s super excited to race with you. It’s just so thrilling, the races, with other worthy opponents and with you behind him. He can picture it so clearly already.
The moment the race is on and the two of you get announced I feel most engines are rather shocked at the sight of Brexit together with anyone, but they get over it quickly as they decide to just focus on the race.
Both of you work together rather perfectly and smoothly, but due to the way the race goes you guys don’t particularly win.
Brexit does not really give a shit though, he was just happy to have raced with you. Normally he cares a lot more about winning and yet he can’t seem to give himself a shit when he’s with you.
He celebrates the race with you either way, winning or losing. He’s just happy you’ve had your first race together and can’t be more proud of you and himself. Expect him to spoil you a bit after everything
Electra
It wasn’t a given that you were going to race with them?- Well. Eh. You’re racing with him, I don’t think you have much of a choice with this diva.
She wants to win, but also looks pretty. You’re her partner so you’d work perfectly with them and you’re fucking eye candy come on you’re racing with him, get your ass in gear.
The first time officially racing with them is still something rather special though. So he makes sure to be extra shiny and such to make sure you are completely pampered before the first race you two will go into together.
Not going to lie the components really pamper you as well and it’s almost like you’re going to prom more than going to your first race with Electra, not that you’re complaining though.
The moment you step out together with them the only shock that comes to everyone, is how Electra pulled another component out of his ass- They truly think you’re one of the components at first and that he had you be home for some reason.
Electra is almost offended, but then again the idea of you as his component rings absolutely right in her ears. Either way she didn’t bother with the other engines and is just set on winning.
The race is everything he wants it to be. Both flashy and fast. Electra is absolutely happy with the end of it and decides to immediately pull his entourage behind him together with you to celebrate. He doesn’t even bother with interviews this time, aren’t you a lucky carriage?
Greaseball
Oh you know that he would love for you to be behind him while he races. I feel if you’re the one to ask he’d like practically spit out anything he was drinking and then try to keep it cool.
Either way he’d be like practically waiting for you to race behind him. We all know how much he likes showing off his partners. Especially in something as flashy as the races.
Why didn’t he ask himself? Well he has a pride and reputation to uphold and since he’s seen as the whole heartbreaker he waited for you to ask. As well as he totally didn’t want to accidentally force you- what Greaseball being thoughtful? Unheard of.
Either way he’s happy to finally have you behind him for the race. He’d probably be even more pleased if you end up matching colors with him, oh he’d be almost on his knees. Figuratively of course, can’t have people thinking he’s a simp.
As for people finding out. People are honestly really baffled. Everyone was thinking that he was dating Dinah- Since when? What? Hah? They’re confused to say the least. A shock factor that might help in the race.
Then for Greaseball he’s extremely proud to be showing off as the one behind him in the race. Like look at his amazing partner, they look so amazing and you’re gonna look even better when he wins the race.
After the race he decides to spin you around while picking you up and carry you to a celebration together. The two of you deserved it and nobody will tell him otherwise.
Rusty
He’d be so excited and happy! He’s someone’s first pick? Oh he’s so happy, he lets out a few whistles of happiness and says that he won’t let you down. He’s not about to show that you shouldn’t race with him again, he’s going to show you made the right choice.
He’ll even try to shine himself up as much as he can so you just have a partner you can be proud of being behind. What he doesn’t realize is that you’d love him either way, he doesn’t have to do good in the race for you to enjoy yourself.
When you come out with him I think people would actually be a lot more respectful due to the last race, so they won’t like to harass you for being with a rusty steamer. You can't help to see some side glances and hear some under their breath comments, you don’t pay attention to them though.
Honestly with you behind him I think Rusty kind of crushes the competition, he’s just so set on proving to you he’s good to race behind, as well as so happy that you are behind him. In the end he’s just like “See? Told you that you wouldn’t regret your decision.”
Just hit him with a “I would’ve never regretted it, even if we lost Rusty.” And he’d be all blushy and cute. He’ll definitely celebrate his win with you and doesn’t really care for all the official victory laps and such things like that.
Hi hi! Since he’s your number one, mind if I request some best friend headcanon for Espresso cookie please? :>
Ahhh this is such a fun idea, thank you! I love Espresso so much and will always take any chance to write about him.
Warnings: No warnings, only fluff.
Author note: I wrote this while very tired right before bed so it's not that long but hopefully you still enjoy! Wordcount 376
Best Friends: Espresso X Reader
Befriending Espresso is certainly no easy task since he tends to put work over his social life, but one way or another you managed it. He definitely doesn’t have many friends, or perhaps even none other than you, but that makes him treasure your friendship all the more.
You don’t get to see him much because of his busy schedule, maybe once or twice a month, but on the days where you do have meetups planned he makes sure that they happen, cancelling all of his plans for the day if needed.
Espresso loves to explain all of his recent experiments to you over lunch, going into all the details for hours at a time. Some might find it annoying and repetitive, but you certainly don’t. You find his passion for his work endearing and happily nod along as he talks whether or not you fully understand what he’s saying.
Since he’s a professor, Espresso has lots of stories from the classes that he teaches about his students doing funny or dumb things. Sharing those stories is one of your favourite pastimes together, him sharing the juiciest tales from the academy and you bringing your own gossip to share as well.
Due to having mastered coffee magic and knowing all the ins and outs of making a perfect brew, Espresso has become quite picky about the coffee shops you go to together. This makes organizing cafe meetups a nightmare. However, he’ll often invite you over to try out his latest invention and that’s far better than any coffee shop.
Takes gift giving extremely seriously. If it’s your birthday he’ll spend days trying to find the perfect gift. He also seems to remember everything you mention wanting. Should you passively mention needing a replacement of something that broke, it’s pretty much guaranteed that he’ll be giving you one soon.
Despite being an expert at giving gifts, Espresso always becomes a flustered mess whenever you give him anything. He’s never had a friend who just gives random gifts before and has no idea how to react. And although he’ll never admit it, he greatly treasures all the gifts you give him no matter how small.
Hello! If it's alright with you, may I request headcanons for Espresso, Madeleine, Affogato, and Pure Vanilla with a child who is just like their other parent? Some qualities that they share would be that they are sleepy (sometimes appearing as lazy, though they do get things done) and gentle, but can be quick to anger if anything were to happen to their parents (if it's too much, you can just do regular headcanons of them with a child)!
Espresso
~| Espresso? With children? That is quite the mix. This man is a big nag, and any child he would have had to be well behaved else risking him stressing out and blowing a fuse.
~| Gets onto the kid more times than once to get up and do something productive. He gets on to you for the same reasons as well, even you aren't safe from his nagging.
~| You're going to have to take care of both of these cookies. With your child being, well, a child and Espresso being obsessed with trying to get into the Genus Book of World Records for longest all-nighter, you'll have a lot on your shoulders.
~| When Espresso takes days off he will take care of you in return. He will try and take care of the kiddo too, but he is not and never will be good at parenting.
~| He'd be pretty shocked at how much the kid loves him (at least, enough to care about him if something were to happen to him). He protects them in return- at least he's responsible.
Madeleine
~| Hangs out with the kid way too much. Probably more than he spends time with you- oop. He likes how much energy kids tend to have, and matches it quite well. Even if the kid is more tame than most, he's still going to harass them a lot.
~| You and the poor kid don't even have the chance to laze around- Madeleine is always wanting to do something. Go out for ice cream, go to the movies, play a game, etcetera. Madeleine is very ADHD.
~| Madeleine acts more like a child than the actual child. You may have to ask your kid to babysit Madeleine a few times.
Affogato
~| This man relates to you a lot. He tends to do as little as possible, and has that same lazy manor, but can be deadly efficient when he needs to be.
~| He enjoys the peace a lot. Will often laze about with you and the kiddo in his free time,he prefers that over anything. Your family is just one big pile of sleep.
~| Absolutely teaches the kid how to manipulate others into doing stuff for them. He is proud to pass on his skills to them. "Dad, didn't you say this to mom/dad/parent yesterday, though?" "Uhhh that's all we have time for today!"
~| Surprisingly good father. Your kid probably looks up to him, and he gives bomb head pats.
~| Kid definitely does not get their temper from him. First time Affogato saw the kiddo blow up he was just like "Oh. You get your temper from your other parent."
Pure Vanilla
~| He's the father who absolutely cannot tell the kid off no matter what they do. You're going to have to be the bad guy, he literally cannot handle it. He tried to be the bad guy once and literally broke down into tears thinking he was being mean and a horrible parent.
~| Both of you are spoiled half to death, between him being the literal king of a thriving nation and all the servants.
~| He doesn't have much time to give, but when he does, he makes sure that he spends all of it with his family. He will beg you to come have a picnic with him, or watch a movie.
~| He definitely evens out you and your kid's quick temper. He has patience enough to spare for a while kingdom, he just can't deal with being strict at all oop.
