Oh you don't know how desperately I want to ask all of them BUT. I will restrain myself lol (and you are welcome to just pick one of these if you prefer): 👨‍🍳 💌

im full steam ahead on the celebrity crush WIP so i'll choose that!

Why is everyone so quiet? Hob bites his lip, he’s bursting to say something, even a simple hello, but had been told to remain silent until Dream initiated contact. But Dream is clearly uncomfortable, stepping cautiously, like a cat in unknown territory.  “What’s this?” Dream speaks, mostly toward Lucienne. His voice sends a pleasant shudder up Hob’s spine, despite how caution colors his tone. It’s a lovely voice. Smooth like chocolate, clear and deep, commanding attention. Hob had heard it countless times through his headphones, singing or giving an interview, but the full force of it in person made Hob’s heart jumpstart in his chest. And he’d only spoken two words.

When The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch said: “I don’t think holidays are supposed to fix all the bad things in the world, I think they’re meant to help people endure them.”

I fear that healed something

@embroiderling here. You know I gotta ask 🧪🧪🧪

Thank youuuu

Hehehehehe, the fic I started writing today! Here's a bit of Silco whump because I can:

Silco wakes in both complete darkness and shimmering light.  “Ah, you’re awake.”  The doctor’s voice, so close and yet so far away, sends Silco straight into a panic. When he tries to move, Silco realizes he’s tied down to a table, his heart is pounding so loud it may as well be in his ears, and everything hurts, hurts, hurts.  Another round of Shimmer is injected into his veins, and the bastard Singed of course injects it directly into Silco’s neck. The fastest method of absorption.  Silco screams but it’s cut short by the piece of leather in his mouth. The Shimmer burns, and he’s certain that the chemicals are going to eat him from the inside out. He can’t move, can’t breathe, can’t— When Silco passes out from the pain, it’s bliss.

Thinking about Hob Gadling, medieval peasant, refusing to accept modern day gingerbread. The holiday season is a bone of contention for him because he doesn't care for cheap confection - he misses weird ass honey bread toffee with no bloody ginger in it, thankyouverymuch.

This thought inspired by the history of gingerbread, and the original recipe as follows:

Gyngerbrede

Take a quart of hony, & sethe it, & skeme it clene; take Safroun, pouder Pepir, & þrow ther-on; take gratyd Brede, & make it so chargeaunt þat it wol be y-leched; þen take pouder Canelle, & straw þer-on y-now; þen make yt square, lyke as þou wolt leche it; take when þou lechyst hyt, an caste Box leaves a-bouyn, y-stkyd þer-on, on clowys. And if þou wolt haue it Red, coloure it with Saunderys y-now.

'Harleian MS 279' in Thomas Austin (ed) Two Fifteenth Century Cookery Books (London, 1888)

Or, in modern-day English:

Take a quart of honey, boil it and skim it clean. Add saffron and powdered pepper; add grated bread to make it thick enough to slice. Take powdered cinnamon and sprinkle it on; then make it into a square like you would have it sliced; when you slice it, add box leaves, stuck on with cloves. And if you would like it red, colour it with sanders now.

Roasted Fish and Veggies from if wishes were fishes (i'd share all my riches) by @seiya-starsniper

Created for the @mr-sadman Seasonal Sadman 2024 event!

Today's recipe is a hearrrrty meal from part 2 of the Dreamling pirate AU fic. It's so sweet and full of friendship and community, something that fits the vibes of the year wrapping up. When I saw that food was one of the themes in the Seasonal Sadman event, I knew I wanted to do something and so Seiya and I collaborated on this fanfic recipe. In part 1 Hob and his crew raid a ship and rescue merman Dream from Burgess. In part 2 we have a cute scene with Hob fishing and merman Dream doing happy flips and dives in the sea after being away from it for so long. Later they go back to the crew who cook the fish and veggies! Here are a few lines:

-----------------

Dream knows they must hasten back to help make preparations for dinner. And what a feast they would be bringing back. When they finally return to the ship, Dream fillets and prepares the fish to be roasted by Gilbert, who can control his fire in such a way that it does not burn the ship.

While he’s completing that task, Mervyn goes below deck to retrieve extra ingredients. When the crew had raided Burgess’s ship to rescue Dream, they hadn’t just taken gold and trinkets. They also raided the ship’s food stores and took some of the more expensive provisions. Fresh lemons, carrots, potatoes, and plantains were just some of the prized food items taken, all things Mervyn is all too excited to incorporate to enhance their dinner.

The resulting meal is a burst of flavor on Dream’s tongue. Dream, who has not had a proper meal with his siblings in years, let alone cooked a meal with anyone else before, finds himself overcome with an emotion he cannot place.

When he looks around at the camaraderie around him, Dream realizes why they are able to coexist so well despite the cramped spaces and long voyages at sea. There is trust, joy, and fidelity shared amongst the crew. It is in the way Lucienne shares a bite of her fish with Matthew, and in the way the Gilbert and Mervyn share a secret smile when the Corinthian recounts a story they know he is exaggerating.

---------------------

Hope everyone has a good holiday break too with friends, family, fur babies, and food!

And this is the origin story of how I became the word count Fae 😂. Love you, Seiyaaaa!!

26 and 27 for the latest ask game!!!

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

I would say So Tell Me Where To Put My Love, simply because it was supposed to be a 5k one-shot fic and then it became....a 31k multi-chapter 😂😂 The server watched me write most of it in real time via the sprinting channel. @embroiderling kept cursing my word count. I kept adding chapters. People who I didn't even know were interested in omegaverse, or even read my writing at all, were telling me how much they loved the fic. Honestly, I was floored by it all, it was such an experience, and will be forever one of my favorite fics just for that.

27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?

Least favorite part is writer's block, especially when I have time to write and want to write, but the brain just doesn't want to cooperate.

Most favorite part is obviously when the inspiration hits just right, and I can spend hours just tinkering with a story and not notice how much time has passed by. Those days of just utter possession are so, so much fun.

Do you think Hob lights candles on his current/future dates because the candles have been there between/around them for centuries?

they’re acting like they just broke up and made up in three seconds, like they are so dramatic.
