Establishing communication
Tumblr media
Chapters: 1 2
A03 version:
Authors Notes: Finally got a chapter out in time I hope you guys enjoy don't forget to send asks
Emptiness and then a red light. that's what she saw and then there was a cookie in front of her a cookie that was different yet the same
“Who are you?”
“I'm you, but better.”
“How?”
“Because I survived.”
“But how? I'm alive too!”
“Yeah but it's not you it's me.”
What do you mean what are you talking about
“Do you still think you're white lily?”
“Yes, yes I am.”
“You're not, you're me and I am not you. I used to be you but I'm not”
Lily stared at her confusingly until she felt something hit her stomach really hard and she opened her eyes for real.
As she opened her eyes she saw velvet looking at her and velvet punching her in the stomach repeatedly. she slowly grabbed his hand
“That's not a very good way of waking me up!”
She said slightly scoldingly but tried not to scare him
He just stared at her so she wasn't sure if he could understand her speech
The little cookie just walked the edge of the napkins, looking down seemingly contemplating jumping off
After Lily realized what he was about to do she quickly caught them. the napkins are way too tall for cookie like him to be falling off of
“Hey I will carry you down don't worry! I do have to do some stuff anyway.”
He just stared at her
“Do you want to go down?” she asked
He nodded
He nodded…so that does that mean that he understands her… she has to check
“do that again if you really want to go down.”
He nodded again, this time more aggressively
He does understand her, so he does understand cookie speech that's good, that's good
She smiled as she used magic to put him down to the table
Her son was so smart he was baked a few hours ago and he already understood her speech. she reached out for her
Grabbing it and some supplies she got down to the table opening up her notebook she took notes about her sleep and about her weird dream and then she looked for velvet
Velvet was nowhere to be seen
She looked away for 1 minute and he was gone and she felt the panic seep into her. what if he fell from the table and crumbled? what if you fell into one of her experiments?? what if..what if!
She frantically started to look around trying to find him to make sure that he's safe until she heard something
barking
She quickly flew to the the place that the voice came from and saw cake hounds with velvet in the middle of them
He was howling, clapping his hands walking around and the hound seemed to be following him. they seem to be playing with him.
She had a huge sigh of relief. well he seems to be safe even enjoying himself but she needs to keep a close eye on him
And then she questioned how the hounds got here and then she felt the headache and remembered, “oh yeah” she is the one who made them rise up
But she taught all of them. all of them had left but some of them must have stayed but then why didn't she notice them?
She knew the answer and she was too focused on her research to notice them. they just kept themselves and her nose was too deep in books to notice
She continued observing them
Velvet was having the time of his life as he was playing, trying to catch with all of them. he ran they followed and then when they catch him he followed
Lily wasn't sure if that was exactly catch since she never had hounds or played with other children but it was a good description of the game so she wrote it down on her notebook on a section that she had dedicated to her son
But she still kept her attention on velvet. she knew that he was probably safe with the hounds considering that she has the ability to command them but it was still better to be safe than sorry
But as she continued watching him she started to notice his communication seemed to be more complex and his howling seemed more than imitation
She continued observing and she started realizing he was fully talking to them as they played. He barked and howled and others reply with similar barks and howls
It was full two way communication. she only knew that he was capable of understanding cookie language even though he was only a few hours old
Did something in the ultimate dough also make him understand hound language? There was only one way to know she slowly approached him
“Hey velvet I have a question”
He barked the other stopping the play
“Can you understand them like you understand me?”
Velvet stared at her for a minute seemingly trying to process the question and then he gave nod and continued playing
He had confirmed himself. velvet was the first cookie who is capable of understanding how to fully speak fluent level hound language
She frantically started to take notes proudly. she had to investigate this more, she had to ask more questions!she continued taking notes until she heard something else
A cry.
she looked away for too long
She flew towards him, looking at him he was sitting holding his knee and crying the other hounds surrounding him trying to lick the wound but he stopped them
He may have cracked it, she can't believe it she looked away for too long again. she's a horrible mother. she reached for a pack bandages
Looking at him very gently she said
“Hey velvet I know it hurts but you need to let me see it so that I can make it stop hurting”
He stared at her for a little and then let go. she slowly lifted up his pants, there was a small crack seems to be superficial, something that wouldn't even leave a scar.
She's felt excited as she grabed bandages and she questioned “why was he crying so hard that something so small?” “but he was a child this was his first injury of course he would cry like that!” she answered her own question.
As it was finished she smiled and looked back at his face, he had stopped crying and he was looking at her. she had noticed that the bandage on the crack side of his face had gotten discolored, that might give him mold
She slowly removed it, noticing a discoloration and then he opened it. it was her time to just stare but his black sclera and slit pupil
So he was more like her than she thought. forever affected by the ultimate dough, she knew she probably had to do tests and other stuff but..
But not now
“Look, you're all better! if you want you can continue playing.”
He nodded again and slowly got up but instead of going back to the others he hugged her. she embraced the hug, there was a lot ahead of them but she was ready to face it

Research notes
Tumblr media
Chapters: 1
AO3 Version:
Authors Notes:
Sorry it took me so long to upload a lot of Life stuff happened but don't worry have not abandoned this
The first thing that he had ever known was pain and helplessness, no ability to do anything just laying there waiting for his fate.
His first breaths weren't even breaths, they were desperate gasps trying to keep himself afloat purely on instinct
And then he started sinking; he didn't have the energy or the power to fight before they knew what Hope was; he had already lost it.
Until he saw something rising out of the dough. a light, something, somehow, some way, was getting out of here
He reached out trying to catch it. he knew he wanted to escape, he knew he wanted to survive, so with his last bit of strength he reached
He was laying on the table, he didn't know why, he didn't know how, but he had made it
For the first time in his life he was breathing comfortably. it felt good, it felt so good
He took in a few more breaths smiling, feeling happy for the first time and then he felt something underneath
İt laid there like him, he slowly started to get up, his steps were pretty strong for a newly baked
He got off of the thing which later he would learn is a cloak, he continued to examining it
After a while he just picked it up and wrapped it around himself it felt right, just right
They stared at the cookie in front of them who had open arms and then they were engulfed by it
İt felt like it had covered them. it feels good so good
When it was finished they took off the cloak and put it around her. she didn't have a coat and a coat was needed
And then he looked at someone else who stared at him back. they were actually two of them
But the other cookie didn't seem alarmed she just stared as he got down next to her
Continuing to stare, his head felt heavy and it fell to her arm. She just smiled. it felt good
He felt himself slip away. well it's happening again was he still drowning, but now this was a good slipping away so he let it
Velvet slept on top of a pile of napkins, fully bandaged up using Lily's cloak as a blanket. Lily lay down on the pile her wand next to her
she was exhausted after Two notebooks worth of achievements and discoveries in the last few hours she was kind of proud of herself
And it wasn't even finished! she hasn't even gotten into half of the books yet she could feel the excitement boiling inside of her
There was so much more to explore in this kitchen, books that she hadn't gotten into, spells that she hadn't tried
She imagined how much these spells would help cookie kind. of possibility of adaptation, oh yeah she should start trying it with her nature magic
Maybe it can even be adapted by wizard cookies, although she knew how dark moon magic was regarded
They will probably be the hardest to adapt into other magic styles but she still thinks it's possible
She wanted to try out immediately but her body didn't let her move, her bandaged burnt ruined body
She could hear them again, the way that they cleared out when she walked into the hallway. the way that professors gave the single seat to her and The whispers the painful agonizing whispers
She wanted to stab herself in the head to stop these thoughts, to stop these memories. she knew something was wrong with her already she didn't need to be reminded
Because she knew they were wrong. she was the one with the light of Truth, she was the one who defeated the great calamity. she wasn't that meek little child anymore
So what if she's different now, so what if she's disturbing, so what if she's broken, She had finally bloomed and she was ready to spread her her smell
She pulled her wand closer to her staring at her reflection in the soul jam and moonstone she was beautiful her scent was beautiful
And she was a hero, she was a hero who will save the cookies from the lies of the witches and she will free them. she didn't fear anything anymore
She continued staring at her wand, souljam from The wretched creators and the moon stone from the ones they have deceived.
She thought about the others, how happy they were when they received theirs praising The wretched creators
Funny that they gave her the light of freedom now she was going to free the cookies from them
She stared at the moonstone thinking about the fairies, thinking about those cookies who have known nothing but deception
She questioned what she actually sealed, did the fairies ever actually knew what they were guarding? did the witches lie to them too?
So many questions and not enough answers, maybe if she had a way to question the witches well she will they will return she knew it
She had to tell them, she needed to know more. well now she knew what was her next destination after she filled the last notebook she set up
She noted more stuff about her physical condition, higher pain tolerance, lower stamina although she's not sure if it's because of the burning or just her new form
She laid down on the napkins feeling a tiredness wash over her and then she turned to check if she had woken up velvet
No she hadn't was just turning was he having a nightmare it's understandable after such an experience
She's slowly reached out her non burnt hand and started petting his hair that calmed her down when the pure vanilla did it
He seem to calm down and continued peacefully sleeping she wanted to join him she thought about how she was like when she was his age
She didn't remember didn't remember much before the academy maybe because she didn't want to remember or maybe she just couldn't
thinking about the academy she thought about the cookie that she tried to create and how she almost…can't spend so much time moving on from it
But all of those memories return that she stared at the cookie that was partially her creation
As those memories returned the doubt came to her as well can she actually be a good parent
Holy and cacao of both have stable kingdoms both have other cookies around them to help in both are normal
But she's controlled by her curiosity going whatever whenever she pleases should she really drag a child through that
She stopped petting his hair. there's so many things that she has to worry about with a child that she never thought about can she really do this
And then she felt his little hand on her hand she turned watching him does he grabbed onto a tightly putting it back on his head
He wanted her touch he wanted her love she was the only thing that he had she had to try her best at least until she can find somebody better
But she continued petting him. She felt her eyes get heavy. What was the last time she slept? Too long ago as she slipped away

Summary: What would you do for cookie kind? what would you do to spread the truth?
jump into boiling magic and experience the most agonizing transformation of your life that's what you do! and that's what white lily did getting reborn dark Lily and the rest is history.
A03 version:
authors notes; my first time posting FanFiction on Tumblr please be gentle reblogs are preferred don't forget to send asks have fun
“Reborn against nobody's will but my OWN”
It screamed as she emerged from the ultimate dough holding The moonstone and the light of Truth it has found the truth the ultimate truth and she was GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Just an hour ago it was white lily the hero of Truth on her way to the banquet, the crack between the worlds of the witches and of cookies. her pitter patter steps were unnoticeable as it climbed through the first kitchen she held her bags tight as it climbed through the kitchen finally finding a spot to reveal itself to ask questions to find the truth. then she saw what they were doing and her body froze up, it felt like she was in the the cacao Kingdom for the first time again, it couldn't help but stand there and watch
The witches cackled as they talked about recipes, praising each other's baking, sipping tea while those cookies just waited and watched. None of them screamed as they were bitten into, dunked into tea, getting cracked in half, and they kept smiling while the witches talked about baking and eating cookies so casually. It was normal for for them to create these conscious beings to eat
created to be eaten, to be consumed, to be destroyed, so this is what they worshiped for thousands of years, these were the godly creators?
The godly creators weren't godly of all, they were sadistic monsters who created them for consumption! she needed to tell others they needed to know the truth about what they wasted their lives over.
She felt anger and pain boil inside of her to tell the others. It needed to show them the truth, she didn't care if they didn't want to hear it, the truth was the truth.
She had to get out of here, It had to spread the truth. It was about to start running she stepped on her dress and lost her balance
At the last moment she catches herself, barely. she is about to tell others but before it could go it heard something interesting
“So like, are we going to do anything with the ultimate dough?”
“Why would we?”
“Yeah and it's for an important occasion, it's power should only be used sparingly!”
“Yeah you remember what happened to those cookies…”
“I know I know but I'm just saying it would be kind of fun to see what would happen to harness its immense power to actually experiment with it.”
“No too risky!”
“…Actually maybe we can try.”
The witches argued between them but Lily's attention was drawn into the big cauldron of purple dough. It could feel its power even from this far, a power that she could use for the cookie kind to save more cookies from the same fate and help the ones who are already in Earth bread she just needed a sample. It needed to show what the cookies were capable of.
To use godly creators weapons against them, she felt so much in that moment, determination, sadness, and anger. angered that the witches had tricked them, angered so many cookies have already been lost as she channeled all of that
It shed her bags removing a small cup with her other hand It held the moonstone and the light of truth hoping that they will keep her together and then it jumped
İt was far thicker than she expected but it was fine, it could still swim out of this. She just had to focus all of the research potential and just keep swimming until she heard the witches and it started boiling.
“İt became thicker” she felt herself thinking no one she couldn't do this, she tried to swim to no avail and then it started burning.
First its legs and then its entire body. she was boiling, she was drowning, she was dying, the pain was unbearable and it couldn't open her eyes was this the end
it couldn't ever help another cookie again, she couldn't tell everyone, vanilla who would be heartbroken, the Eaten will never see retribution, it would have disappointed everyone, the witches would have won. It felt herself slipping away
No, the light of Truth said she still had the moonstone…no it had to get through this, she isn't going to just run away, not this time, it's going to harness the power of the ultimate dough
And then she felt it, the power flowing through it the same way that it felt when she gained it's soul jam she wasn't afraid anymore, no it felt strong, it felt happy, and she felt angry. now it had the power she raised from the ultimate dough
And so did every single pastry at the table, she couldn't see it but she could hear it, it could feel her power and her presence over them, and the only one command she made was attack
It slowly started to open her eyes as Its vision clicked into place. she watched as all of the cakes attacked the witches, those three wretched disgusting creatures. she couldn't read their faces but it knew that she had instilled fear into them.
It watched, enjoying relishing in the chaos, in her power, in her new capabilities. she laughed over and over, until the witches were no more, until their cackles or screams were no longer heard.
She gave a satisfied smirk and looked at the new army that it had created. she gave one more command stop, a job well done and then the pain started returning as she felt her burnt hand losing their grip, her head was hurting
Before she knew it she was laying on the table, the soul jam and the moonstone around her and she felt everything, the way that her dress was torn, all of the places that she was burned. it stared at the ceiling that was so high.
Everything was quiet except for…footsteps. small delicate footsteps. she's slowly try to sit up to look around to find the source and then it finally did, she just stared.
A little kid look to be around 5, maybe 6 with short brown hair with red streaks. they had a lot of cracks missing on his arm and an eye he had wrapped himself with her cloak, and it was approaching her
it looked around the table for a little, realizing that they were the only cookie survivors. she opened her arms accepting them, that must be so scary for a little boy
He finally got to her, they looked confused at the gesture. of course, he had just been baked, they probably dont know what a hug is. but she still took him into a hug
“So what is your name, little one?”
They didn't answer but seemed to melt into its touch. after a few seconds he started to remove the cloak and wrapped it around her and then something took his attention from behind
She also turns around looking at it. it's their reflection on the cauldron that started everything. she looked at her Burns, her horns, her missing eye
But it's still her after everything, it is still her the same red eyes, the same white hair, and the same sent, but somehow it doesn't bother it anymore
The little cookie sat down next to her and she extended its cloak and then they put his hand on her arm, it burned and it hurt but it didn't matter.
This kid was the only other Survivor, the the other conscious being who witnessed all of this at such a young and delicate age.
She smiled looking at him, they both survived, they're both going to thrive, she's going to make them thrive, she is going to love them unconditionally.
So this is how holly and cacao felt…he quickly fell asleep on her arm she wished she could sleep too but she had things to do, research doesn't wait.
