Nightmarch 2023 - Prompt: Flavors

(format yoinked from zarla’s deltarune/addison relationship meme)

Night tea:

Dream: Earl grey lavender. Light and floral. Feels like there’s more to the flavor that’s just out of reach unless you really sit with it. +180HP Goldie: Concord grape! Exactly how you expect it to taste. No surprises here, just juice. :D +120HP Mare: Perfectly-aged, smooth wine. Just the right amount of plum sweetness to complement the bitterness of the alcohol. Even the smell intoxicates. +180HP

-------

Dream tea:

Night: Sun-ripened blueberries. Worth savoring. …Sometimes one of the sour berries gets through. No matter how often that happens, it’s always unexpected. +180HP Goldie: Vanilla ice cream! As creamy as a milkshake. ^_^ Watch your teeth on the crunchy bits, though! D: +120HP Mare: ??? Berry? There’s something there, but it’s hard to pinpoint what the flavor is, and trying more doesn’t help identification. +70HP

-------

Goldie tea:

Night: …Apples. A strange flavor, and one worth spending more time with. +90HP Dream: Banana. Seemingly simple and childish, but a taste you can adjust to. …Perhaps nostalgic if you sit with it. +120HP Mare: Attempted lemonade. Someone mistook salt for sugar and went hog wild with the sugar when they realized their mistake. Chuck the whole thing out and try again. +0HP

-------

Mare tea:

Night: Black coffee. Feels like it should be too bitter, but… appealing, in some strange way. An acquired taste. +180HP Dream: Dark chocolate. Should be tasty, but isn’t. Get a handle on the flavor and then the plastic alcohol aftertaste hits. +70HP Goldie: Root beer with hot pepper! It seems really fun, but it hurts to drink :( +0HP

Nightmarch 1. Rot

[fantasiasodapop]

Rot

There before the fallen, a mere ghost of a land Is a broken, quiet soul, still struggling to stand In one hand a seed, that would wash his life away In the other, two plants whose love convince him to stay Two beautiful people, his heart ensnared in their throes A strong blueberry bush, and a blue-petaled rose

At the base of the stump does the man dig with his trowel Triumphantly planting the roots of his treasures with a scowl Before he stands, looking down on the dying stump His anger bubbles once more, and he swallows a lump.

"I do not care for you," he seethed, "and I never will! Not after the thing you did and do to me still. What kind of Mother leaves her son to starve? Or into his skin deep scars does she carve? I am happier with them than I've e'er been before; I have not a reason to return here evermore!"

The tree lashed out in anger, reaching for her precious seed, But it stayed out of her grasp, no matter how he would bleed. "I'm done," he told her with a huff. "I'm going far away. Let your darkness consume you; let your rot burn you, I pray." He turned on his heels, fluffing his coat to hide the fact he cried The man never did notice how quickly in her care the plants died.

This is a piece inspired by our Nightmare Drosera and his backstory in To Cure A Glitch's Blues on AO3.
