Summary
“Did he intend for you to live?” Chiyoh finally asks. Hannibal is quiet, considering. He finishes the stitches, bandages the wound, and pulls his sweater back down over his abdomen.
“I told him once that, despite all my whisperings through the chrysalis, I could never entirely predict the creature that would hatch. It would follow its own nature,” Hannibal says. When she doesn’t seem satisfied with that, “I think it was a decision born in the moment. I don’t know that even Will knew what he intended.”She nods, once, and stands. They’ve been anchored for several hours, so it’s time to continue their trek out of the channel and into the open ocean. Another few hours should do it. Then he’s free to go anywhere, start another life in some faraway city. Host parties, hunt freely, stock up his closet again and prowl for ostentatious art to decorate his walls. But Chiyoh, knowing him well (though not as well as some, Hannibal concedes), can sense his displeasure.
“We can go back for him. If you think it is wise,” she says quietly. “If you wish to.”--------
Or, somehow they both live, and now they have to live with that.

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 cookiekind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?
Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.

Summary
"In art, chiaroscuro (...) is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition." (Wikipedia).
How long can a lie remain a lie before it becomes a justification to linger? For how long can one lie about motivations before the lie becomes their truth?
Shadow Milk Cookie makes good on his threat that Pure Vanilla Cookie's kindness will be his undoing. He arrives in the Vanilla kingdom asking for help, lying that his followers have turned on him and his magic is gone. This lie wraps him up in itself until he is completely enmeshed, unable to tell where the lie ends, and where his true motivations begin. That lie becomes an excuse to linger.
