I love the Pale King so so so much.
I also hate the Pale King so so so much.
Here’s 1500 words about the nuance of his whole Thing -

Summary
You had been working retail jobs longer than some of your peers had been alive, and you had seen it all. At one point or another, you had come face to face with the worst customer service interactions imaginable—from Karens with years-old expired coupons, to teens who paid in pennies, to armed robbery, to Black Friday sale stampedes—and you had made the conscious decision to come out the other side with your customer service smile only slightly strained.
By comparison, working at Fazbear's was a breeze. $30 an hour PLUS insurance PLUS long and short term benefits? If you hadn't read the terms and conditions carefully, you'd think you might have signed your soul away when you started working there; it seemed almost too good to be true.
In a way, you guessed it was. Apparently, there was a history surrounding the company that had made other prospective employees… hesitant to apply. Still, you had done worse jobs for less, so the fact that your animatronic co-workers were a bit "quirky" was honestly a bonus. -

Summary
You had some errands to run in town, and since you were the only one who could leave the property, the rest of the household bombarded you with requests. Groceries for Sunspot, reading material for Fool and Misuta... You know, the usual. Expected. You're fond of them, and they of you, so it was no skin off your back to run an errand for them.
Sol, however, had made no secret of the fact that he was not fond of you, so his unexpected request to pick up a secretive package at an unfamiliar store did not fill you with confidence.
You did it though. After all, who are you to refuse a request from your "friend".

Summary
He’s back here.
He’s back here.
Oh Witches damned, let it be just a nightmare - a demented illusion of his wretched mind.
. . .
He should have known. Should have known that peace would never last, despite much of his Other Half's reassurances.
Sent back to the far past in the midst of war, Shadow Milk finds himself ill-adjusted to who he used to be. Yet, there's one thing he's absolutely certain - he can't allow the Virtues to go down that path, not again.
(Hundreds of years in the future, a shepherd searched and longed.)

Summary
Metamorphose: to change, to be transformed
Denali left Valenwood years ago to travel Tamriel and learn its geology, and her next stop is Solstheim, a dreadful mass of land that she hopes to delve into. But the island is violent and dangerous, and she's not a skilled adventurer. Enter Teldryn Sero, who will do basically anything for money, including escorting a stubborn Bosmer across the island so she can look at rocks. They're going to have to trust each other with some big secrets if they're going to be working together for a while, but good luck getting either of them to talk about their *feelings*

Summary
What lingers first in Pure Vanilla’s memory are two eyes— cyan and blue.
They were not simply colors, not merely shades to be catalogued among the blossoms that lined the Vanilla hills. They were shadows caught in ice, stars buried in snow. And in the middle of all that frost, a boy who looked too small for the crown that would one day press against his brow, eyes too large for the timid boy who held them.
Pure Vanilla had not known then that love could strike so young.
He had thought it the sort of thing that bloomed late, like the orchids that only flowered when the sun coaxed them after patient months of waiting.
But with Shadow Milk, it was not coaxed— it was immediate.
Pure Vanilla is six, and he knows he's in love.
(It never changes)

Summary
The final battle in the Spire of Deceit goes wrong. A last resort spell cast by Shadow Milk causes the space-time distortion of the Spire to warp, transporting the cookies within it into a strange, diverged reality.
Pure Vanilla meets the mysterious Sage of Truth, who can't seem to contain his manic curiosity about him... or the others who came with him. Shadow Milk meets the hauntingly familiar Truthless Recluse, who gently convinces him that everything is going to be okay again... misunderstanding everything in the process.
Their second problem is getting home.
Their first is figuring out they're not home in the first place.

The cookies we know have been sent to a different reality. One that is like their own but slightly to the left.
Big confrontation between sage, PV, Smilk, and Truthless recluse
Poor sage, experiencing the same intensity of loneliness as smilk
Messy messy foggy boundaries. Who's who? Who's whose? -

Summary
It had been a week since he'd last seen Shadow Milk. It wasn't a rare occurrence for him to vanish into thin air; it was his favorite trick after all. It's the lack of presence that Pure Vanilla found to be odd.
Ever since the beast arrived to his home in the Vanilla Kingdom, Shadow Milk had made it his goal to permeate into every facet of his and his people's lives.
His citizens would report their furniture floating above the ground, eyes that they swore were in the corner of their vision that would disappear when they turned, and the sharp ringing of bells down alleyways.
In a way, the Beast of Deceit is more ghost than cookie, as no one outside of a few have truly managed to see him.

or, Pure Vanilla contemplates his relationship with the Beast of Deceit.
