Hello I’m the one who requested a fic for Xavier (p.s I loved it) maybe you could do the same thing but for Wednesday and/or Enid

“Enid, get your had o it the batter!” You scolded the blonde as you lightly slapped her hand out of the batter. “I’m sorry! Your baking is just so good!” She whines, licking off the batter she did manage to scoop out from the bowl, “so good.” She whispered under her breath. “It’s not even done yet!” You exclaimed, pulling away the bowl so she wouldn’t be tempted for another helping of salmonella.

Originally the plan was that you were going to bake a batch of sugar cookies then some lemon butterfly cakes, iced star cookies after that before finishing off with some almond and raspberry jelly drops or s’mores depending on which you were feeling at the time. However Enid insisted that she’d lend a helping hand but that ‘helping hand’ was too preoccupied by dipping itself into the batter more times the you could count.

“So? The batter is always the best part.” Enid counters as though she was speaking a proven fact. “Then don’t come crying to me when your sick in bed from your over indulgence.” You retorted, pinching her cheeks lightly; Looking over the book you had prepped up and began to read the following steps when Enid runs a cold blob of batter down your cheek.

You pause your reading to look at her as she chuckled behind her hand, eyes crinkling in the corners from how wide she was smiling it warmed your heart and forged a playful fire within your soul. You smirk as you dip your finger into the batter, taking advantage of her lack of self awareness to leave a streak of batter across her forehead, causing Enid to gasp. “You didn’t!”

“I did.” You smirked like the shithead you were and before you could blink, Enid had sent a cloud of flour into your hair, powdering it in white. “You better be up to finishing what you start kitten because you just stared a war.” You told her as you sprinkled some edible toppings into the tresses of her blonde hair. Funnily enough her blonde hair looked like the iced topping of a cupcake from where you stood. “I was born ready.” Enid rebutted, already holding a couple of eggs in her hand.

Wednesday didn’t have a sweet tooth per-say so when you were flipping through your big book of bakery one day, you came across all sorts of treats that immediately brought Wednesday to mind; Apple strudel with cider sauce, rhubarb, ginger and raisin muffins, dark chocolate blueberry tarts, Halloween spiderweb cookies and rich ginger brownies.

Wednesday wasn’t as overall enthusiastic about sweet treats like Enid was but that didn’t mean she despised them all together. She just had a different choice in what she’d like to go into them, that’s all. With your mind made up, you immediately went down to the kitchens and got started on baking the first recipe on your list.

Wednesday was curious when you didn’t meet her at her dorm like usual whenever you had spare time on your hands. She wasn’t worried either as she knew very well of your penchant for baking; So it didn’t take long for the Addams to deduce where you’d might be in this current moment and time and sighed. Wednesday found your impulse to bake very endearing but you had a tendency to over bake which then leads to you struggling to carry up your finished products without accidents to occur.

That plus the fact that you had left your tuppaware boxes and bag in her dorm from the last time you came to hang out with herself and Enid. “That fool.” She utters fondly, seeing as she now has a reason to go see you, Wednesday picks up the tuppaware and puts them into the bag and heads down to the kitchen where you had just placed some rich ginger brownies on the cooking rack. “Are those for me?” Her voice took you off guard as you almost flung a oven mitt before realising it was her, you took a deep breath as you placed the mitts on the side.

“Jesus Wednesday, you scared me you flat footed harbinger of darkness!” You swore you could see a small smile on her lips that left as soon as it came. “You forgot these.” She said blandly, holding out the plain carrier bag with Xavier’s cute little doodles across it with the tops of the tuppaware boxes just slightly visible. “Your a life saver Wednesday.” You sighed, crossing the kitchen to take the bag; Only for her to pull the bag away from you with a mischievous glint in her eye which made you confused.

“I’ll give you this, only if you allow me to stay and have the first bite of your ginger brownies.” You made a face as though you were heavily in thought which then quickly turned into that of a happy expression as you reached out to grab the bag. “I accept your deal miss Addams, your throne awaits.” You said almost as exaggeratedly as your bow, causing her to scoff, before taking her hand in your free one and helping her sit upon the counter; From where she studied you like a hawk as you continued to bake.

Best Autumnal Recipes:

No Bake Spiderweb Cheesecake: Absolutely gorgeous and showstopping delicious with relatively low effort, this one has rather quickly entered my teatime repertoire any year I can find the time to make it! (For the wafers themselves, I'd recommend these, and the spiders can be made relatively easily by melting Rolos on top of a pretzel for about ten seconds, flattening them with the back of a spoon, and adding mini M&M "eyes" and legs from broken pretzels.)

Witch Hat Cookies: As far as cute, easy fixes go, I have a particular love for fudge stripe cookies (or the store brand equivalent) with the chocolate side facing up, topped with a thin ring of purple icing around the center and an unwrapped Hershey's kiss (with another band of purple icing to form the hatband). I'd call them zuckerhutchien but my first-generation German mother would burn me as a witch on the spot, so instead I just refer to them as spooky book club treats.

Gingersnaps: Also an absolute classic; this recipe in particular has been the cause of much appreciation from various friends and professors

Chai Spiced Maple Cookies With Browned Butter Frosting: Definitely a mouthful there, but these remain a favorite for Hobbit Day and the rest of the pumpkin spice season!

Mini Pumpkin Cake: Ach! This is one of the top recipes on my to-do list. It looks absolutely delicious and the absolute perfect size for a small pumpkin spice treat...on that note, please let me know if you've found a vegetarian equivalent to candy corn pumpkins!

Hahaha YES: Candy Corn Pumpkins

Soft Molasses Cookies With Pumpkin Cream Filling: This is more of a transitional treat, but still a nice one irregardless. Personally, I'd recommend baking the cookies a little longer, so you get just enough of a crisp finish on the edge to compliment the cream cheese filling.

Brown Butter Maple Pecan Cookies: I haven't tried these yet either, but some baking communities have been going wild about them, and you really can never go wrong with either browned butter or a nice turtle flavor palette.

Baked Pumpkin Donuts: Skeptical, you may be! "Who bakes a donut?" you'll say! The answer: me. I used to work in a bakery that specialized in donuts and had a pretty good selection of baked (as well as fried) donuts, and the pumpkin is perfect for providing that soft cake-y moisture content. (The batter uses the same recipe as a similar pumpkin cream cheese muffin, and while I can't speak for the author's, pumpkin muffins are quickly getting me through the busiest season in coffeeshops, bakeries, and academics alike.)

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread: What's better than banana bread? Pumpkin bread, of course!! This recipe, with the exception of maybe the chocolate chips (depending on brand, although chopped vegan chocolate bars usually work well) is entirely vegan, not to mention a pretty quick stress-bake to boot.

Pumpkin Scones (Starbucks Copycat): Once again, I'll be honest: I have not tried these, albeit these vanilla bean scones have been a popular favorite and we, as a barista at a local coffeeshop, have a legal obligation to one-up Starbucks at any given point. Definitely a must for the next cup of tea!

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars: Between Rosh Hashannah and Halloween, we've got to have one obligatory Halloween dessert with some type of caramel apple base!

Happy baking!

hnnnng favorite memories from brandon and i running a pizza place

- had an employee with no filter, but not in the rude way, whenever she'd get excited she'd just shout whatever was in her head, and it was sometimes embarrassing for her but god i loved it so much even if it wasn't always great for work

and i remember one morning when she was very new and we didn't know this about her yet, i had her on my shift for prep, and we had to pull the dough for the day (essentially take it out to proof a bit) and she was a delivery driver so she hadn't worked with it much, and we were both in the cooler, and she was helping me stack the trays of dough that had already been proofed the day before in order and caught a glimpse of the inside of one of the trays and excitedly shouted 'oh, they're like titties! :D'

she turned bright red and was so worried i was going to fire her, but once the shock had worn off, i couldn't stop laughing and i still hear that in my brain any time i come across something that's reminiscent of breasts

- brandon and i used to get into competitions when we were tossing the dough, and mastered being able to toss them in the air, and trade off mid-stretch; once we had an abundance of dough that was about to expire (and none of the other stores in the area needed it, and it was the end of the shift so we weren't going to use it) and so we got into a game where we were trying to toss this dough and trade off at such a rapid pace that we could make the other one drop some

alternatively, what happened was that we got so into it that he made a really aggressive toss, managed to hit the ceiling and brought down a whole-ass ceiling tile on top of our prep area (luckily the veggies were covered but hahaha what a mess)

- brandon used to wear his company hoodie at work a lot, so one day i decided to try putting handfuls of the flour formula we used for tossing into the hood, hoping beyond hope that at some point he'd lift it and get completely dumped on

it kept not happening, so i kept adding more and more flour (much to the rest of our employees' amusement, who were lovely and kept him distracted for me) but eventually he left work without noticing and we were all very sad

about an hour later i got a text that was a shot of both him covered in flour, and frowning very heavily, with the floor of his bedroom also completely coated, which i printed out and put up on the wall in the office so everyone could see our success, because teamwork and all that

- our office had a window that we could see out of but was a struggle to see into unless you were right up on it, which was helpful for keeping an eye on the floor when paperwork needed to be done, or when i had to pull someone into the office for whatever reason

at one point we had a really dead morning shift, and everything was cleaned and ready to go, and so my prepper and i were sitting in the office and i don't know how we started but we were blowing up those purple gloves and drawing faces on them, and i somehow managed to swing one with an expression that was pleasantly horrifying

i taped it up in the window at a high and unsettling angle that you couldn't see until you were right up on it, and for the rest of the day i watched employees wandering by the office glance up, do a double take and nearly jump out of their skin and it was glorious

- i managed to get halloween off one year, though i don't remember how, i think (?) it was by chance but it was weird as it was a mandatory holiday, and i spent the morning making a huge spread of spooky cakes with spiderwebs, pumpkin seeds from a family recipe eyeball cookies, witches fingers, and loads of other stuff. even stopped by the local winco and got syringes (no needles, obviously) and filled them with grenadine to make these creepy looking shirley temples and brought them in

people still did their jobs, but it wasn't as busy as the owner wanted (which is why he forced us to have practically everyone work that night, and even suggested we call in people who do not work there anymore and beg them for assistance, can you imagine that phone call? 'hi i know you left the company years ago and have nothing to do with us but can you come in for a holiday shift' are you serious) and about as busy as we expected, so since they all had to be there for at least a few hours it was fun to put together a party of sorts for them with lots and lots of snacks to ease the blow, and i brought in my alexa so we had loud spooky music, and it was actually a really good time

Under His Eye Pie

These are named Friday the 13th Creepy Eye Pies, but I like “Under his eye” for a Handmaid’s Tale Themed Party.

To make the eye, you place a frozen pitted cherry under a pie crust lid, and then paint with edible paint.

Fun Halloween Wedding Ideas

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – well, at least for the people who love the scary and supernatural! If October 31 is your favorite holiday, why not host a Halloween wedding? From serving trick-or-treat candies on your dessert table to wearing a gothic gown, there are plenty of ways to put a spooky spin on your big day. 

Halloween wedding ideas.

Historic Venue

Historic houses and manors tend to have a few skeletons in their closets, making them perfect for spookier celebrations. You totally get bonus points if the venue you choose has one or two ghost stories attached to it.

Spooky Decor

Think your wedding venue need a little something extra? Turn your reception into one big Halloween party by decorating it with eerie bits and bobs like skulls, candles, crows and cobwebs.

Vintage Gothic Invitations

Want to give your guests a clue as to what they’re in for? Make everything spooky, down to your wedding stationery.

'Til Death Do Us Part Signage

Here's a stylish Halloween wedding idea! Use a ‘'Til Death Do Us Part’ plaque in your wedding portraits.

Candlelight Ceremony

Set the mood at your ceremony for your Halloween wedding theme with an altar illuminated with candles and decorated with crows, candelabra and skulls.

Coffin Ring Box

Have your ring bearer deliver your rings in a coffin-shaped ring box.

Eerie Ceremony Music

Set the tone for your wedding ceremony with some haunting music. We suggest hiring a violin soloist or harpist to welcome your guests and accompany your walk down the aisle.

Halloween-Themed Wedding Vows

Hire an officiant to customize your wedding vows and perhaps include some rituals like a handfasting ceremony or jumping the broom in keeping with your Halloween wedding theme.

Supernatural Wedding Portraits

Give your wedding photos a supernatural twist by recreating a scene from your favorite Halloween movie. We suggest taking a break from planning and watch a few films - Ghostbusters, Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus are all great options - to get those creative juices flowing - then find a photographer with great photoshop skills.

Pumpkins Galore

Name one prop more Halloween-y than a pumpkin? Impossible! You can easily deck out the entrance to your venue, your tables and even your dance floor with these seasonal squashes. Pro tip: if you want something a touch more elegant, go with the white version or have yours painted to match your color scheme.

Cobweb Lighting

Forget about illuminating your monogram in lights, make your entranceway or dance floor a little eerier by shining a few spiderwebs on it!

Dramatic Makeup

When you think of wedding makeup, your mind probably automatically goes to nude lipstick, fluttering eyelashes and a natural complexion. While there’s nothing wrong with that, you can definitely darken things up to Halloween-ify your look.

Full Face Paint

Or, if you want to go the extra mile, you can even don face paint and turn your wedding looks into costumes.

Gothic Glam Bouquet

Choose deeper hues for your wedding flowers (faux or real), or, if you really want to embrace the Halloween wedding theme, you could even go with a full dried flower bouquet.

Black Wedding Gown

You don’t have to wear white on your wedding day! If you’re hosting your wedding on or around October 31, skip the white, cream and ivory and go with a black gown, instead. It’ll definitely have your guests oohing and ahhing as you walk down the aisle.

Themed Bridesmaid Ensembles

Go for a gothic glam look for your girl squad, too. Choose bridesmaid dresses and accessories in dark colors like black, red and burgundy. Layer on the accessories and apply dramatic makeup including red lipstick.

Halloween-Hued Groomsmen Outfits

Black, orange and purple are pretty much the official colors of Halloween, so why not dress your groomsmen in them?

Monstrous Socks

Calling all grooms! You can make your wedding ensemble a little more interesting (and spooky) by finishing it off with a pair of monstrous socks.

Themed Cocktails

Put the boo in booze by serving up some ghostly, ghoulish cocktails at your reception, like blood orange cosmos, bloody caesars, zombies and black widows.

Decked-out Sweetheart Table

Decorate your Bride and Groom sweetheart table  with cobwebs, candles, pumpkins and other Halloween decor.

Black and White Color Scheme

Black and white wedding decorations will set a stylish scene for your celebration. Skull wedding centerpieces, black feather place cards, striped table linens and graphic stationery items are an easy way to Halloween-ify your reception venue.

Pumpkin-Infused Menu

Pumpkins are pretty much a staple for any Halloween wedding. If you want to use them for more than decor, go ahead and serve pumpkin dishes or skip the bowls for your appetizers and serve soup in ‘em, too. PUMPKIN SOUP RECIPE

Hauntingly Beautiful Cake

Give your wedding cake the Halloween treatment by choosing a darker color palette and/or a costume theme for its design. If you don’t want to mess with the exterior, you can amp things up by choosing a flavor like Death by Chocolate.

Halloween Candy

You’re never too old to indulge in Halloween candy. Instead of stocking your dessert table with luxurious desserts like macarons and eclairs, fill it with itty bitty candy bars and more. It’ll save you money and your guests will love feeling like kids again.

Bewitching Band

If you really want to go all out, ask your band to suit up in costumes for your big day. Looking for something a little more low-key? Add a couple Halloween favorites, like the “Monster Mash” and “I Put a Spell on You” to your wedding playlist.

Spooktacular Photo booth

Photo booths are always a crowd-pleaser at weddings. Adding a black backdrop and piling your prop box with costumes will make yours suit the holiday perfectly.

Flash fic: Do the patients and doctors at Storeybrooke celebrate Holidays? Or is that too triggering for patients like Astrid and Jefferson with their strong delusions? OR how does Bay handle a Halloween/fall recipe he cant quite get right? I'm sure Grahm is happy to channel is frustrations productively.

A combination of meta and fic:

They do celebrate holidays at Storybrooke, though they have to be cautious about how they do so.  Halloween is a tricky one, with the links to horror movies, monsters, imagery like vampires, etc.  And then there’s the excessive sugar, the masks.  They do special foods on Halloween and maybe a craft project but they don’t do costumes.  Ruby had a really bad Halloween one year.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are easier.  The idea of Thanksgiving can actually be a helpful tool.  Christmas can be both a positive and sometimes a negative because they’re not with their families.  But they have a tree they decorate and activities all month like cookie decorating and making ornaments and having carol singings.

Valentine’s is not celebrated.  They tried once and it was a disaster.  Jefferson had some really bad ideas on how to celebrate.

For the fic it somehow ended being fairly early in Bay and Graham’s relationship.

_______________

There was too much damn moisture in the air.  Bay threw the third pot of ruined sugar into the sink; it was a good thing that neither the industrial sink nor his pots were easy to damage.  The only thing that was lost was sugar and too much of his time.  So much for his idea of sugar spiderwebs to top his Halloween cakes.  There was a reason he didn’t do much sugarwork.

“You’re fired,” he muttered as he filled the pot with hot water.  He didn’t realize that he wasn’t alone until he heard the warm chuckle.

“I don’t think you can fire yourself from your own bakery, Bay.”  Graham was leaning in the doorway that led to the side entrance.  He’d locked the front door but not that one.

“Graham.”  Crap.  He was covered in sticky sugar and layers of flour, his hair was probably gross because he hadn’t had time for a shower and he was in a mood.  Not really the impression he wanted to make on the guy that he’d only officially been on one date with.  “I was firing the pot.  Or the sugar.  I don’t know.”

“You look...”

“Like I need a shower?” Bay suggested.

“Like you need a break.”  Graham stepped into the kitchen, giving him a once over.  He reached for Bay’s hand, frowning at the red mark that covered two fingers and the side of his hand.  Bay forgot to breathe when Graham leaned down and kissed the burn. “Any reason you can’t leave the bakery right now?”

“Probably better if I do, the afternoon I’m having.  I was thinking of going to the gym.” Man that sounded stupid.  Like he was bragging that he worked out to a guy that was twice as fit as he was.

“I have a better idea.  Let’s go.” Graham took his hand, not the one that was burned.

“Let me at least put on a clean shirt.” He ran up the stairs to his apartment, pausing for a moment to look at the shower.  He didn’t dare take that long, but he did brush out his hair and wash his face after changing into a long sleeved t-shirt with a picture of Count Chocula on is..  Graham was out front leaning against his truck. In the bed behind him was a wolf.

“I hope you don’t mind, but he loves walks and I figured you two needed to meet.  Bay, this is Wolf. Wolf, this is Bay.” Graham ruffled the creature's fur. Bay cautiously held out his hand, but Wolf was more interested in his face.  A minute later he figured he knew how a pup felt with its mother; his face was completely licked clean. “Looks like he likes you too, Bay.”

“For a second there I was worried that he was going to eat me, I have to confess.”

“Nah, he’s not like that.  There’s only one person here that wants a taste of you, Bay, and it’s not the dog.”  Somehow Graham had him trapped against the truck door. Bay moaned when Graham first nuzzled and then licked his neck.

“In case you’re thinking I’m going to protest I’m not.  I’m really not.” Helle, he’d be glad to suggest that they head right back up to his place but he didn’t want to scare Graham away.  He’d been done for two days after their first kiss. He was fine taking things as slow as he needed to, to keep Graham around.

“You taste like sugar.”  Graham held the truck door open for him. 

 They drove out of town, stopping at the side of the road.  Wolf jumped out of the back on his own. Graham held out a hand for him.   “I want to show you my forest.”
