Summary
At the cusp of defeat, Shadow Milk gets transported to a backwards world: Dark Enchantress was sealed away before she could do any lasting damage, the Beasts never came to be, and the Ancients rule over an otherwise peaceful world.
Oh, and apparently his counterpart is dead and hailed as a hero. Because his life wasn’t already complicated enough.
OR
What happens when the guy who basically saved all of Cookie-kind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?
Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.

Summary
Pure Vanilla has always upheld himself as a role model— noble, strong, and kind. He's supposed to be a pillar for those around him.
Which is what makes the notion of anyone finding out about the dark thoughts buried deep in his mind more terrifying.
But he's kept himself in check for hundreds of years. It's second nature to him now, to push those impurities away.
At least, that's what he thought until a certain new addition to the Kingdom began to test the limits of his patience.
Or to put it more briefly, Pure Vanilla struggles with intrusive sadistic thoughts, and slowly comes to terms with them.

Summary
Captured by ruthless pirates, Prince Pure Vanilla of the merfolk finds himself bound to the ship of Shadow Milk—a feared and merciless captain who sees him as nothing more than a rare treasure to be owned. Though their relationship begins with chains and defiance, Pure Vanilla soon notices glimpses of something more beneath the pirate’s cruel exterior. As time passes, Shadow Milk’s control over his captive begins to waver, shaken by the merman’s kindness and quiet strength.
When Pure Vanilla is rescued by his people, war brews between the sea and the pirates, igniting a cycle of vengeance that neither side can escape. Shadow Milk refuses to accept his loss, setting out on a dangerous path to reclaim what was once his. But as their fates intertwine once more, hatred and obsession begin to evolve into something far more complicated.
Through battles, betrayals, and longing glances in the moonlit sea, Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk will find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither could have predicted. And in the end, what began as captivity may just lead to an unexpected love—one strong enough to bridge the gap between the ocean depths and the ruthless world above.
