Like as a baby, reader was found abandoned and injured alone in Beast-Yeast near the faerie kingdom, and was taken in by the faeries Reader would grow to be a cute little kid, an absolute kind-hearted sweetheart and at that time the events of beast-yeast chapter 1 and 2 occur with the beasts being released and Elder faerie being attacked by SMC... and since reader is so young and just a little kid, they dont understand what is going on and they are scared and traumatized- too young to have to see all of this Could elder faerie comfort reader through all of this? We all need fatherly hugs from him sigh...

Elder Faerie + Child! Reader

“O, mighty silver tree.

Watch over us from above

And protect the peace and chaos from the world…?”

“No no- that's not right.” You let out a frustrated sigh.

“And protect the peace and balance of this world of chaos.” Elder Faerie corrects you with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Recognizing his voice, you spun around to face him. He gently ruffled your hair as he seemed to reminisce about something.

It felt like yesterday that you were just an infant small enough to fit in his arms. Out of everyone in the faerie kingdom, he was the one closest to you.

When Silverbell found you, an ordinary cookie infant abandoned in the outskirts of the faerie kingdom, he immediately took you to Elder Faerie. His majesty being the gentle soul he is, took you in without much of a question. He’d raise and protect you as if you were his own child.

He was abruptly snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of your voice.

“Elder Faerie sir! What are you doing here? You should be resting right now shouldn’t you?” You asked worryingly. You were aware something was up for the last couple of days, but you were shielded away from the truth. You’re just a child and Elder Faerie just couldn’t bear to tell you of a possible impending disaster.

“My dear child, you shouldn’t be near the silver tree right now. It’s for your safety.” He states gently.

He took your hand into his own as he glanced at the rift in the silver tree. The rift is progressively getting wider… At this rate it’ll only be about time before the beasts escape and spew havoc if he doesn’t act soon. As much as he is the ruler of the faerie kingdom and guardian of the silver tree, he was also your caretaker. He simply couldn't fathom failing to protect you and the kingdom.

Before you could question why Elder Faerie wanted you away from the tree, Mercurial Knight and Silverbell made their way to where both you and Elder Faerie are.

“Your majesty, you called?” Silverbell started before quickly being distracted by your presence. For a moment he smiled and waved at you and naturally you waved back at the adorable looking faerie.

Elder Faerie smiled at the exchange while Mercurial Knight only nodded at you and Silverbell’s antics before giving his majesty his undivided attention.

“Yes I have. Silverbell, I trust that you can look after the young one while I handle some affairs.” Elder Faerie asked while giving Silverbell a knowing look.

“Oh…! Yes! Yes I can, your majesty.” Silverbell replied as he went to pick you up. Since you weren’t a faerie you obviously lacked wings like the rest of the citizens in the faerie kingdom so Silverbell preferred picking you up for easier travel.

Silverbell gave his majesty a nod before departing with you in his arms. Elder Faerie watched as you two left and waited for you and Silverbell to be a good distance away before resuming his talk with Mercurial Knight.

“As for you Mercurial Knight, let us go find the others. We only have limited time left before things can get worse.” Elder Faerie continued.

“Understood your majesty.”

-

“Ah..! That scroll is a little tough for you to read, is it not?” Silverbell asked alarmingly. Most if not all scrolls in the library were written in music notes, so he questioned if his majesty taught you how to understand the notes. Thinking about it, he probably did.

You continued on attempting to decipher the scrolls even asking Silverbell for help when you got stuck. Looking up every once in a while, you noticed that there weren't as many faeries around as there usually are. It was eerily quiet.

Getting up from your spot on the floor you turned to a shelf to put back the scroll to pick up a new one. Spotting one on a high shelf you stood on your tiptoes, only to lose your balance and fall to the ground at the sound of a shriek.

“THE SEAL…!”

As if on queue the ground shook as more screams seemed to come from the direction of the silver tree. Silverbell immediately was at your side trying to haul you up quickly.

“The rift in the silver tree must've opened…!” The faerie next to you said in a distressed tone.

The rift? Is that what that was the entire time? Your mind was trying to process what was going on yet your mind kept going back to one specific thing. Or should you say a specific cookie.

“Elder Faerie…!” Finding your balance you immediately tried to find the exit of the library. You had to find your caretaker–Make sure he's ok!

Not wasting any time, you ran out of the library. You could hear Silverbell attempting to get you to stop but it was futile. Kids surprisingly get quite far in such a short time apparently. Your little legs can only get you so far in such time but you'll make it!

Every corner you turned there was mass destruction. Deceit was spreading all over the kingdom and you watched as many faeries turned to embrace the chaos–turning into mere puppets of deceit.

Silverbell was hot on your trail desperately trying to catch up. He knew exactly where you were headed and he was worried. A child like you shouldn't be experiencing any of this. You can't see the state his majesty is in you just can't.

The silver tree was finally in your view. Looking frantically you looked around for a certain cookie. He had to be ok, he just had to.

Just as you set your eyes on who you were looking for, you could only look in fear as your view was obstructed by a beast.

“Ahhh fresh air! Feels nice to be out of that place!” The beast said as it seemed to stretch its arms.

You were frozen in place out of fear and were about to stumble backwards. Silverbell now at the scene as well was able to catch you before you fell. He also watched in fear as the beast took a look around the area.

“I see I have QUITE the audience today!”

“Let's see here who do we haveee…!”

“I already said hello to Pure Vanilla, that's one. Some… annoying looking cookies that makes five. Ah, two faeries! Seven! Oh and I CAN'T forget about Elder Faerie! Oh? A rather young cookie too..? Oh well, the more the merrier!”

Tensing up at the last part of the beast’s sentence, Elder Faerie looked back and spotted you–with Silverbell trying his best to comfort you.

Weighing his decisions, Elder Faerie turned his back on the beast and rushed to be by your side. He failed halfway to get to you as half of his energy was depleted to revive another's life.

“Your majesty!”

Seeing him fall to his knees horrified you and you ran to his side. Tears started to well up in your eyes as you took in the gravity of the situation. Seeing your caretaker struggle to keep himself up scared you.

As for Elder Faerie he was sorry. Sorry for you. Sorry that he couldn't do more in time to prevent the situation altogether.

Using what little strength he had in him he gathered you in his arms and let his wings wrap around you. It was his best attempt at trying to get you to look away from the sight of the beast.

“It'll all be alright dear. Don’t look at him. Look at me.” Elder Faerie said as he checked around your face and arms for any scratches.

Shadow Milk only grumbled at the sight. “Uh HELLOOO, main character still HERE. Cmon! No need to be so toothrottingly sweet right now.”

Elder Faerie grimaced at the shrill sound of the jester's voice. He had to get you away from the area. For what he was about to do, would send your mind spiraling. He’s sorry, but there is no other way. Not in his current state anyway.

He glanced at Shadow Milk then at you. Standing up with you in his arms, Elder Faerie approached Silverbell once more and passed you to him– not without leaving you with some words of comfort and farewell.

His last words to you? “It’ll be over before you know it, young one. Do not worry about me.” His voice faltered as he noticed a blue hyacinth flower on the ground. Plucking it off the ground he inspected it before handing it over to you.

“Rest up child, tomorrow is another day.” He smiled at you. Without even letting you make a sound of protest and he brought his hand over to cover your eyes. Silverbell watched curiously as his majesty put you to sleep.

“Your majesty! We cannot hold back the beast much longer!” Elder Faerie and Silverbell regarded Mercurial Knights' warning before facing each other again.

“Your majesty...” Silverbell started to tear up knowing the fate of his majesty.

Giving one final command to Silverbell, he instructed for you to be taken away to your chambers to rest. Silverbell obliged his command and promised to be back to help if time allowed it.

Elder Faerie thanked Silverbell before turning back to face Shadow Milk. The jester in question grinning from ear to ear ready to put on a show.

His majesty has no regrets but one. His only regret being he could not spend more time with you and watch you grow and walk the path you choose.

Note: Guhhh sorry for the wait anon! Had to brainstorm how to keep some canon story elements like him biting the dust while also trying to provide comfort. I'm a sucker for found family and Elder Faerie.

I hope I could bring justice to your request.

“Quit struggling so much. Maybe then it won't hurt.”

As an idol, you were aware of the dangers that came with the job. You were completely aware of parasocial fans, but never did you believe you'd become the victim of a kidnapping.

Black Sapphire was tired of constantly trying to obtain your attention. To you, he was just another rumormonger. To him, you were a rare jewel that had to be stored away and kept for safekeeping.

Try as you may, that ribbon he has your wrists bound by won't be taken off anytime sooner. Why a ribbon and not a regular rope? Only that egotistical cookie would know.

Frantically, looking around, you realized that nobody was attempting to help you. All these cookies passing by, yet they don't dare to question what it is that this strange cookie is doing with you? Or were they too afraid to confront the gentleman?

Black Sapphire continued walking with you in his arms, seemingly acting as if this was just another average day with his lover.

Oh! That'd make a good rumor.

To ruin your reputation and make your dear fans think that you're not as innocent as you seem. That you’ve already been tainted by his hands. That way, your fans will turn their back on you for fraternizing with someone they don't know and abandon you.

Just the thought makes him grin. He'll have his dear gem all to himself, and he'll make sure it'll stay that way.

Imagine if smc finds his mortal lovers reincarnation and they fall in love again!!! Even better if they still have their memories, hehehe

(I just love angst-to-comfort troupes as well as immortal × reincarnated lover over and over again)

-🦇anon

Hello 🦇anon! Kid you not my brain was all over the place with this. I hope I was able to get my thought across, though! I may not be the best with fluff, but here's my attempt. ^^

If Shadow Milk finds your reincarnation, he'd think it's too good to be true. All those agonizing years spent without you and you just happen to show up again?

He wouldn't know how to approach you again. What if you don't remember him? He'd easily scare you away since yk he's a beast after all. But that's not all. What he's most afraid of is having to let you go again because of your small life span.

For some time, he doesn't dare approach you directly. He'd much rather take on different forms to try and spy on you in an effort to at least keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe and happy.

What he doesn't know, though, is that you're all too aware of his presence. You remember him from your last life. How could you ever forget your beloved.

You find it a bit comical that he chooses to keep a distance from you in a form that isn't his original. Pushing down whatever downcast emotions you have, you decide to seek him out first. If he won't take the initiative to approach you, then you might as well should.

A few days pass, waiting for a perfect opportunity to catch him spying on you. In your past life, you have memorized many of his forms, so spotting him won't be so difficult. Unless he made up a new form that you had no idea of.

With a picnic basket in hand, you headed to a clearing near the spire where he should spend most of his time. Far enough from the spire to be safe but close enough to where he'd hopefully see you.

As you finished setting up your picnic spot, you set some of Shadow Milk's favorite snacks. The perfect trap for your beloved was set. Now, you just had to wait and see if he'd show up.

Like clockwork, you heard a bit of rustling of bushes behind you. Turning around immediately, you saw him alright. Just in this case, he took up the form of a maiden. Holding back your smile, you waved him over.

“Why don't you join me, miss. It seems we're both here for a picnic, so we might as well spend time together.” You said as you glanced at the basket in his hand.

You didn't fail to see the blush creeping up on his face. In fact, taking a good look at him now, this form of his was beautiful. You have only seen it in paintings in your last life, so seeing it in person made your heart skip a beat. If you didn't know any better, you'd just think he was a damsel in distress.

As for Shadow Milk himself, his heart was beating erratically. Surely, you inviting him over was just out of the kindness of your heart! And surely you having set down his favorite snacks for the picnic was a coincidence!

“I suppose I could join you. You seem like good company.” He smiled.

Still deciding it's too good to be true, he sets some distance between you two and sits a bit far from you. It took everything in you to hold in your laughter. Was he really that scared to be near you or something?

Having him not make any moves to initiate anything, you decided to take the reigns once more. He was right in front of you. How could you not? You craved his affection so badly.

Picking up one of his favorite desserts, you held out a spoonful to him. “Here. Why don't you have this first? You used to love this dessert every time I made it for you, my dear Shadow Milk.” You smiled.

Shadow Milk could feel himself freeze. Did he hear you, right? You…remember him? All this time, and you actually remember him?

He was overjoyed he wanted nothing more than to pick you up and spin you around.

Hey, wait.

“Hold on just a second. How do you even know it's me? I thought my disguise was pretty good!”

Within seconds, you two were back to acting the same as usual as if you two were never split apart. You laughed at his question.

Putting down the dessert, you went to cup his face with your hands. Wow, this disguise of his was way too pretty.

“Dear, I remember the paintings in the spire. I have seen most of your forms depicted in those paintings. What type of lover would I be if I didn't recognize you right away.”

With that statement he deadpanned.

…Rightttt. Why didn't he think of that? If you did remember him, then you could most definitely remember being in the spire and seeing those paintings.

He smiled before coming to another realization. “Wait wait wait wait. If you could remember me, why didn't you come find me sooner” he pouted.

“Well here's a question right back at you, mister! Why spend your time spying on me and not actually approach me!” You said as you flicked his forehead playfully.

He was about to bark back but stopped himself. He missed the playful bickering. He missed you.

Deciding not to answer your question, he instead went to lay his head down on your lap and grab your wrists, and place your hands in his hair.

You smiled and obliged to his silent request. You started playing with hair as he slowly eased into your touch. You missed moments like this as well. Spending time with him.

It wouldn't be long before you're ripped away from him again, but if you're able to retain your memories again in the next life, then that's fine. You know your beloved beast will be waiting for you in another life.

-

“Oh! and by the way, as beautiful as this form of yours is, how much longer are you going to stay like that” you poked his cheek

Shadow Milk froze and looked down at his dress.

“Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that part. Oh, wellll deal with it for a bit longer.” He stuck his tongue out at you.

My my how ladylike of him.

[radiantinvocation]

You... accidentally became the beasts of deceits spouse???

One moment, you're agreeing to take part in his play as the 'bride' the next you're his actual spouse?

I can imagine that the idea came up when you were getting too cuddly with your friend, Pure Vanilla Cookie. He got oh so jealous that his favorite puppet was showering love and affection to the one who stole his soul jam.

So, like the most brilliant cookie that he is, he organized a wedding act. Where you will exchange rings at the altar. Real rings, may he add! Everyone is invited! His minions, gingerbrave and co. Even dear old Pure Vanilla. Oh yeah, did he forget to mention? Shadow Milk himself will play the part of the groom!

Anddd just to step up his game, you two will sign a 'fake' wedding certificate. All while, dear Silly Vanilly gets to play the part of the wedding officiant that will 'unify' your 'vows'.

You won't be made aware of any of the ceremony being real. That's the fun part! You will only stare at Shadow Milk in confusion as he takes the whole ceremony seriously.

[radiantinvocation]

These two having the same JP VA gives me nightmares

[radiantinvocation]

Adding onto my shadow milk with a mortal s/o...

You have died, so what now? There was no going back and saving you from the circle of life. Your life was unfortunately but a fleeting moment to him.

He cannot bear to forget you.

Before he can even begin to forget how you once looked, he takes on your appearance. His signature blue color palette remains, but it's you. Or at least he hopes he has done you justice and was able to copy your appearance just right.

In this form, he'll never forget how beautiful you looked.

[radiantinvocation]

Doomed from the start is what many could say about you and shadow milks relationship. He's immortal, and you? You're just an average mortal.

The passage of time doesn't stop for you, and it never will. Shadow milk can only enjoy the fleeting moments by your side til death do you part.

Of course the only ones who understand him leave. They always do.

As much as he disguises his anger and sorrow with a grin, it will never hide the fact that he knows your time is running up. You are aware of how much it hurts him, but for his sake, you'll continue living life with a smile on your face til your last breath.

Humor him and go along with his antics while you can.
