#implied character death

[for-the-ouchies]

The way certain resigned characters with a blade to their throat tilt their head back and close their eyes gets me every time.

[shakesfeare-whumps]

After Stoic Whumpee is rescued, Medic tells them Whumper did something that caused them to only have a few months left to live. Whumpee keeps their composure, tells Medic they understand. It's only after Medic leaves the room that Whumpee breaks. They scream and sob and cry in a way they have never done before. That's how Caretaker finds them, and wordlessly embraces them, letting Whumpee cry into their shirt for as long as they need to.

Hello! I love your writing, Sr. Fang! I just hope that you are doing well mentally and physically!

No pressure at all, but may I request for Fem!ancient!reader x Pure Vanilla Cookie?

She couldn't do it, not on her own. They had just gotten her back— White Lily, the Ancient Cookie of Freedom. You all needed her now more than either. The Silver Tree had begun cracking, the wood splintering apart as the evil within threatened to break free. Elder Faerie had been the one to suggest giving up life powder to restore White Lily's strength. "You have people to lead, the Faerie Kingdom needs their King" You had told him "Use mine in your stead"

"But my love," Pure Vanilla began, tightly holding your hand. A gesture as pleading as it was fearful. "You have people to lead too. The Cookies of the Vanilla Kingdom, your own- we won't be complete without you". "We also cannot win this war without Freedom" You explained. Your hand slid to hold his, and you tried for a reassuring smile that only deepened the healer's frown. "White Lily Cookie needs us" You told him "And I need you to trust me to do this, for all of Cookiekind". With a very hesitant nod and a lingering kiss, the ritual began

Now, what felt like hours later, Shadow Milk Cookie had been driven back a bit. Pure Vanilla turned to share the cheer with you, only to notice you hitting the ground. Your legs had given out, and he felt a sharp jolt of fear. He moved quickly, his arms supporting yours "My love-! It's alright, I'm- I'm sure if you get enough rest, we can-". Your hand came up to reach his, holding it weakly "It's... alright, dear. I expected this to happen"

"No, no- don't start talking that way" Pure Vanilla pleaded "We can heal you, I promise. Just hang on a little longer". You chuckled, a soft and bitter noise. Your voice was already straining at the edges. "Earthbread is safer now, that's all I could ask for" You said, but the reassurance did little to help the Vanilla King. "I- I can't- please-"

"Take care of them" You said, referring to Gingerbrave and his allies. Your hands came up to cup his face, and he leaned his cheek into your palm. A shaky breath left him, the corners of his mouth trembling. When his eyes opened, wet tears swelled in them. "I can't do this without you" He whispered, voice cracking too heavily to keep steady. You guided him closer, pressing his forehead to yours "You can"

A sniffle left the healer, and a warm glow came from his body. A familiar sensation of comfort swept through you, the touch of his magic. One short pulse came after another, his hand clenching around yours. Once it finally subsided, Pure Vanilla closed his eyes tightly, feeling defeated at your body still being weak in his arms. You gave his forehead one last kiss. "Never forget how much I love you" You said, before your voice trailed off to a deafening silence

Pure Vanilla lifted you up in his arms, keeping you close to his chest. He turned, seeing White Lily behind him. A hand was covering her mouth, eyes full of tears just like Pure Vanilla's. "I'm so sorry" She said as a whisper "You've all done so much for me... I never meant for all of this to happen". "It's not your fault, White Lily Cookie" Pure Vanilla said, offering a smile that didn't reach his eyes "They always wanted to give for others. You inspired them to do so"

"Not like this" White Lily shook her head, barely holding her feelings back "There has to be a way... there has to". "Their body isn't crumbling" Pure Vanilla pointed out "Maybe they're merely unconscious. We need to find them a spot to rest, quickly". "Please, let us help" Elder Faerie spoke up. He walked over, putting a hand atop your forehead. He was silent for a moment, halfway between thankful and remorseful. "I'll offer up my kingdom as their refuge. Let me repay them for taking my place"

Although not wanting to part, Pure Vanilla slowly handed you over to Elder Faerie. The Faerie held you close and secure, Silverbell hovering nearby to look at you worriedly. "Come any time, Pure Vanilla Cookie" Elder Faerie said "I swear on my dough, this Cookie will not crumble". "Thank you... I can't say it enough. Please, the moment they wake up, let me know" Pure Vanilla responded. "It will be done" Elder Faerie nodded. He turned on his heel, walking back towards the structures that worked as buildings with you in his arms

Pure Vanilla took a deep breath before picking his staff up out of the grass. He walked back to his adventuring group, seeing White Lily looking off to the side. He rested a hand on her shoulder. "Don't despair, White Lily Cookie. They wanted to give you a chance to be strong, because they believed in you. I do too. They'll be safe here" He reassured. White Lily wiped her eyes with the back of her hand "Right... thank you, Pure Vanilla Cookie. I won't let their sacrifice be in vain" she said, some confidence returning

As the adventuring group began to head for the exit to the Kingdom, Pure Vanilla turned back one last time. He hoped to every power that be that he could one day come and see your bright smile again. That you'd embrace him and he could kiss away your tears. Until then, all he had was hope. Hope that you would make it, and that he'd be the same Cookie then that he is now

You know somehow for a story where the stakes are regularly death/Imaginary Mind Crush Death, the manga really made this scene hit like a fucking truck.

When Whumpee and Caretaker got into a huge argument, and Whumpee storms out. A few days later, Caretaker texts them...

_____

"Hey. I'm ready to talk if you're up for it."

_____

"Whumpee, I know you're mad, but please text me. Friend said they hadn't heard from you either."

_____

"Whumpee, please... talk to me. Text me. Send me anything. Even something angry would work. I just need to know if you're okay."

_____

"Whumpee?"

_____

"It's been months, Whumpee. The police stopped looking for you. I tried to find you. Please. Wherever you are, please let me know if you're still alive."

_____

"You're gone... I'm sorry... I love you."
