#a lovely family of deranged chefs 🥹

[ladykissingfish]

*everyone sitting down to the table*

Nagato: *takes Konan’s hand and kisses it* My darling … this all looks incredible! Another Thanksgiving of you showcasing your culinary prowess.

Konan, blushing: Thank you; but I can’t take full credit. I had some excellent helpers this year!

Tobi: Tobi made the mac and cheese! Isn’t it pretty?!

Deidara: Hidan and I made the stuffing, hm.

Konan: And Itachi helped me with the turkey.

Kakuzu: Well it all looks delicious … *takes a few slices of turkey and puts them on his plate*

Kakuzu:  *after taking a bite*… not to be rude, but, Konan, did you season the bird with anything? Salt or anything at all?

Konan: Oh, Itachi was in charge of the seasoning.

Itachi: *slowly pulls off one turkey wing, then the other, both looking extremely well-seasoned, and puts them on his plate* I must have forgotten.

Hidan: You forgot, or ya only seasoned the damn part of the turkey that’s YOUR favorite??

Itachi, sharingan activated: Do you have an issue with that?

Hidan: N-no!

Kisame: This mac and cheese is quite tasty, Tobi! I — *suddenly stops, seeming as though he can’t open his mouth*

Tobi: Glad ya like it, Kisame-san! Hope you don’t mind but Tobi ran out of cheese so he used that yellow paste in the bottle from Sasori-senpai’s lab!

Sasori: … you mean my super glue?!

Konan:

Konan: W-well, um, t-this stuffing looks great, Deidara and Hidan!

Konan: *puts a small portion on her plate and takes a bite; her eyes immediately turn bright watery red and she has to jump up, grab the milk from the fridge, and chug it all down*

Konan, sputtering: W-w-what the —!

Deidara: Hidan said it would be more flavorful if we added chopped-up ghost peppers to it, hm. But I said that wasn’t explosive enough, so —

Deidara: *lifts two fingers* KATSU! 

*the bowl of stuffing suddenly explodes, splattering across the walls, ceilings, and everyone’s faces*

Konan:

Konan: … perhaps it’s time for dessert. Sasori volunteered to make the pies this year.

Sasori: Mm. I do hope you’ll all find them acceptable; it’s been quite a while since I’ve prepared food.

Nagato: *takes a cautious bite of a piece of apple pie*

Nagato: Holy … this is FANTASTIC!

Deidara, mouth full of pumpkin pie: Damn Danna … who knew a puppet could cook like this, hm?!

Zetsu: There’s a taste in here that’s vaguely familiar …

Hidan, with the cherry pie: Yeah … really almost like … like …

Sasori: Ah, well, I’ve heard it said that a chef never reveals his secrets. But let’s just say that the sacrifice victim Hidan left out in the yard? He didn’t go to complete waste. At least, not all of him.

Zetsu: I KNEW I’d tasted this before! *takes a large hunk out of all three pies* My compliments to the chef!

The others:

*Thank you for the turkey wing inspiration, @amikotsu 😊*

Hi, Bunny!

I'm so glad you're back! The chapter is phenomenal!

It`s your retired overseas doctor anon as promised back to your siren call (well not so anon anymore, but it felt right)

Notification about you releasing new chapter caught me first thing in a morning, yes I check my phone as soon as I peel my eyes open, it`s been great stat for the day, despite heart palpitations, better than cup of tea for sure

Well, earlier in the comments on AO3 I promised a full-blown blown love letter, so here we go ❤️

First things first — I love you. Your works are breathtaking (all of them), but H&H takes a special place, it was first introduction to you (and we can't ever forget our first😉). I’m gonna tell you a secret, you were the first person/creator/writer I ever sent an ask. I’m not a very social person, but you do something to me, maybe it’s because we are colleagues that I feel such kinship

Speaking of kinship. Maybe it's weird but in the last few chapters I've been relating more to the doctor — Elia, than to our lover girl (jeez I wonder why🙃). Funny thing, my name is kind of similar to the doctors. "Master of her craft.." and everything that comes next regarding Elia is probably my favorite passage from last chapters

In latest chapter I particularly enjoyed Sugu`s “intervention” about life and death, mmmm just chef's kiss! And of course Boys are being their typical selves - rabid dogs, but we love them that way😏 Deranged is Satoru default so all is right in this world. Can`t wait to see more of boys trying to gain our girls trust (I kinda like seeing them suffer😳)

- With all my love, Akvarion✨

AHHHHHH MY BABY 😭🥹

Okay forgive me, i’m going to gush a little (too much). Sit tight, stay awhile.

Akvarion, hi.

I’m Bunny—B, Bun, Bun bun, whatever you want to call me is fine, it is so nice to meet you. It is such an honor for me that you peeled off the anon. I mean, I felt the natural draw to you anyway because we are colleagues. But this is so…I’m emotional about it???

Being your first in any way is a treat. That you felt compelled enough to even reach out or read my delirious work is a love language in and of itself.

Re: Elia, I wholeheartedly agree.

Writing a Surgeon into the story wasn’t the original plan (tbh half of the plot has developed on a whim because my writing style is so deranged, me & Gege are cut from the same cloth i fear). But her character has been so healing. From running the initial trauma code, to the operating, to the delivering good/bad/good news, to extubating her patient in the ICU at 0200, to watching a family/lovers reunion, to giving strict post-op instructions only to have her patient not follow them (LOL, we love our patients anyway) — it has been cathartic. And to have you, a fellow doc, relate to her feels so special.

Our boys are being batshit. This is par for the course 😅 we have to make them work for their forgiveness this time. Being fatally handsome cant always be the cure, right..?

I’m rambling. I can’t help it.

But, I love you to the Sun, Moon, Stars and back 🤍
