🍨What Flavor Cookie are you based on the BAKER ASTEROID? PT.2 🍡

🧁BAKER ASTEROID◇◇ 《2549》🧁

🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮

DESCRIPTION: The baker asteroid is said to be the bakers asteroid for baked goods and even bakers themselves.

🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁

Baker in Libra/7th house: I just get a loving vibe from this placement, either baker in libra likes to bake for their partner or your partner bakes for you( especially if it's in the 7th house) you could sell baked foods because libra does rule over merchandise and businesses. Venus influencing this y'all could have very beautiful techniques when baking especially if you decorate your cakes, cookies,etc. this placement has the ability to get very creative as well. I feel like y'all baking can be very good but kinda on the healthier side as well. Also y'all could actually have a bakery store

Cookie: canestrelli cookies// madeleine cookies 

Baker in Scorpio//8th house: imma keep it real this could go 1 of 2 ways y'all might either be a good or bad baker that's just what I was called to say. Or you could be good but you guys might add some sort of knowledge that you have leared abou/ baking or edgy touch into your baking. This could be a hidden talent you have. Unless this is in a certain house or sign it could vary. In the 8th house, I would definitely say like a hidden talent. A gift you inherited from your ancestors this could get really spiritual or occultic. Also you could constantly be burning your baked goods. But don't get me wrong here y'all food definitely could be very good just a little over cooked . I have this placement in the 8th house and I like baked sweets soft but a tad burnt. Y'all cookie will be interesting to come up with. 

Cookie: white chocolate red velvet cookies/ brown butter Carmel cookie

Baker in Sagittarius/9th house: its kinda giving foreign baking vibes like y'all take recipes from foreign cultures. Very adventurous with your baking style. Exspansive flavourrrrrr 🤤, y'all give me professional chef/ baker vibes here . Blessed in baking, might even go to school for baking or travel to learn about baking. I feel like y'all can become experts in baking. My little alchemists got the perrrrfect recipes to make your tastebuds explode!

Not really a cookie but they're good asf : Galab jamun/Big Blue Monster stuffed cookie (he he he he 😉)

Baker in Capricorn/10th house : now if baker is in the SIGN Capricorn I feel like y'all baking can be good but very old school if you look at your cookie you'll see what I mean. If it's in the 10th house this could be your career or just something your known for. Baker here it may have taken you some time to master baking. But I feel like Capricorn/10th house could make some good bakers. Depending on aspects,degrees,house,signs it will vary. But like I said very old fashion but good. If it's badly aspected, I feel like the baking might be a little dry or brittle. But all in all you could be a professional baker.

Cookie: oatmeal raisins/loornadoone/ snicker doodle

Baker in Aquarius/11th house: Eccentric, creative, different. Aquarius can blow some minds away or may be horrible. (depending on aspects don't beat me up😓) . I feel like y'all a little spicy/tangy it's giving lemon meringue or like y'all the type to mix pb&j into a cookie or sum like that. This placement as well could make you very popular for your cooking online. Friends may know how to bake. Baking may even be a dream. You guys as well could have a bakers blog or just be popular on social media for that.

Cookie: churro chocolate stuffed cookies/ pb& j cookies

Baker in Pisces/12th house: it's either lost or it's found here, y'all have it all or nothing. You either can bake your a$$ off or not. If you happen to be a good one then I feel like your really good you definitely could have the ability to heal others through your baking. But also since Neptune is here and Neptune rules 🍷🍺🥃💊🚬 there's a possibility of **cough cough** (edib----🌿🌿) im just being mindful if there's any kids reading this. These bakers could make comfort foods. Maybe even holistic,chemical free baked foods. I feel like this placements food could taste good and take your your taste buds to outerspace. 🤗😇

Cookies: raspberry swirl cream cheese cookie/ cosmic brownie cookies

A Recipe for Love, Pt. 1

I wanted to write a cute little story about Grayson x Reader, and the fact that he loves cookies like Xander loves scones was so sweet to me.

Synopsis: Gigi Grayson’s brother shows up on Valentine’s Day, and his love for cookies leads to an unexpected plan.

Trigger Warnings: kind of long, slight cursing and bad writing

-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡- You were working a shift at the bakery, baking a fresh batch of Valentine's Day themed cookies, when Gigi Grayson showed up.

You could just hear the change in tone of the customers, becoming more joyful by the minute. Good. Valentine's Day should be happy for everyone. Even people as single as me.

"Heyyyy," Gigi called, dragging out the end, "Happy Valentine's Day, girl!"

She was dressed in the cutest pink dress, with red accents popping through. She was stunning.

Next to her was possibly the most drop dead handsome man you'd ever seen. Blonde hair styled to seem effortless, the most magnetic grey eyes and an expensive suit, fitting his body perfectly.

You looked away from the guy, and beamed at Gigi.

"Gigi! What are you doing here? It's so good to see you!"

Gigi was practically bouncing off the walls. The guy next to her looked at her, amused. Was he a date?

"I wanted to show this guy some of my favorite places around town, and he wanted to stuff his face with cookies. Don't let the suit fool you. It's Valentine's Day, and my dear brother shares the same doomed fate as me on this day. Single," she whispered dramatically.

She had a brother? This was news to you.

"Gigi, you have a brother? You disappear from my life for two weeks and show up again with a brother? Is this how you treat your best friend?" you scoffed dramatically, clutching your heart.

She snorted, and her so called "brother" tensed. He finally spoke, in a deep voice as smooth as butter melting.

"I'm Juliet's brother, yes. And she needs to learn that I don't 'stuff my face with cookies', and she especially needs to learn to not share the details of my love life with strangers."

With that, he shot a 'look' at Gigi. She just poked him with a red nail in his ribs and stuck out her tongue. A stranger? You knew that he didn't know you, but that hurt. Turning to me, she continued,

"We wanted to eat cookies since Grayson here absolutely loves them. Do you have any for us brokenhearted, absolutely single people? You know, I wouldn't be single if brother dearest hadn't made me stop talking to Mr. Tall and Handsome, Code Name: Mimo-"

He cleared his throat loudly and sternly lectured his sister.

"We've talked about this. Stay away from the bastard. He's dangerous, Juliet."

I looked questioningly at them both, and decided to not push. Especially since it seemed that "Grayson" here didn't want anything other than the cookies.

"Anyways," I said brightly, "I made these cookies especially for today. I assume you don't want the Lover's cookies. What about these? I call them the Heartbreakers. They're double chocolate chip cookies with fudge mixed half with my Red Velvet inspired cookies."

I show them the selections, and the Heartbreakers cause Grayson to pause, and I swear, his eyes go wide with hidden delight. Gigi smiles wide and hands me the money. I fill a box with the cookies and hold it out to them with the change.

"Keep the change," Grayson said gently. He grabbed the box with delicate hands, and his fingers brushed mine for a heartbeat. My own heart fluttered. Stop it, I told myself harshly. This man could never want someone like you. And he's Gigi's brother.

Gigi smiled. "I went shopping today and I took it upon myself to get enough clothing for the both of us, so I have the cutest dress for you! And I'll be sitting here with Gray. I need to talk to you after your shift, too!"

And with that, Gigi and Grayson sat down at one of the tables. It was getting late, and sunset was on the verge. Thankfully, the bakery was empty except for the two of them, and your shift was almost over, anyway. You worked for an hour, cleaning up as you went, and looked back at the tables. Gigi was still there, chatting animatedly with Grayson. But his eyes weren't on her. They were on you.

-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-

You sat down at Gigi's table once your shift ended, and she smiled. Grayson looked at you and smiled the slightest bit, so subtle that you couldn't tell unless you looked closely. Which you were.

You looked away and Gigi exclaimed, "We should go see the sunset together! All three of us!"

You frowned. "Gigi, I don't want to ruin this new sibling bond you have, and I'm sure your brother wouldn't appreciate a stranger coming along."

He shook his head, and said kindly, "It's quite all right. I don't mind. Gigi, we need to leave in 15 minutes if you want to see the sunset."

Gigi nodded furiously, and looked at me excitedly. "So it's decided. You're coming!! And I need to go to the restroom. Will you come with me?" Her words came out fast, like she didn't want to waste any time.

You were confused, but nodded. She grabbed her shopping bag and ushered me into the bathroom. She pulled out a dress from her bag. It was gorgeous. The dress was a sundress style, which was strapless. It had a tight fitting bodice, almost corset like, and the skirt was long. It was dark red, the color of a bouquet of roses, and you instantly fell in love with it.

"Put it on!" Gigi's voice was giddy.

"Gigi, how can I? Why should I wear the dress? It’s too pretty, and I might just ruin it.”

Gigi just smiled mischievously. “There isn’t a problem with dressing nice on Valentine’s Day, is there?”

You narrowed your eyes. “Are you trying to set me up with your brother? Because y’know, we don’t know each other. Like, at ALL.”

“You wouldn’t mind now, though, would you? You’ve been single for so long. You deserve so much better than your psychotic ex boyfriend!”

“I haven’t had a psychotic ex boyfriend, Gigi. And that’s not the point. I mean, even if I was interested, your brother definitely wouldn’t be.”

“I’ve seen him look at you, multiple times! He seemed really distracted when I told him about potentially adopting another cat… and I turned to see his eyes focused on ONLY. YOU. Trust me, girl, he is far from uninterested.”

You considered what she said, and your traitorous heart raced. “Fine,” you sighed and put the dress on. Out of nowhere, Gigi pulls out a makeup kit, and flawlessly does your makeup in just a few strokes of her makeup brush.

“Wow, Gigi,” you breathed, in awe of the person reflected in the mirror. “You should definitely consider going into the makeup field if your cybersecurity job doesn’t work out.”

Gigi snorted and you both giggled. You headed back to Grayson’s table, and he looked away from the window as we neared him. His eyes widened just a fraction of an inch, and you could see him drinking in your appearance. Gigi’s enthusiasm was finally starting to catch on. “Time for that sunset! Let’s go!”

And with that, Gigi ran out into the parking lot. You waved goodbye to the owner of the bakery, and it left just you and Grayson, standing together awkwardly.

“Shall we depart, madam?” His manners were impeccable. You blushed the slightest bit, and looked him in his pretty silver eyes. “Yes! Let’s go catch that sunset before it’s gone for good.”

[formerlycookierunauprompts]

yo, guess who made an angst based on the “ it takes two” au? This girl, I hope you enjoy Egg tarts really poor mental state!

—————————————————————————

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock-

The clock within this small faerie bakery and tea shop filled the silence like a small melody, leaving the only two customers alone sitting at a table in the corner. They had two cups of peach tea, the one with the beret and nice coat took hers nice and warm, while the other with a nice traveling coat and captain style hat took theirs iced. They were sharing a small red velvet cake as well it seems. 

“ I still can’t believe I’ve actually managed to find you- er well more like actively stumble upon you.” Said butterscotch cookie while she gently swirled the tea in her cup.

“ me neither, to be honest I was pretty sure you were dead” Egg tart cookie said bluntly 

“ I can see why you thought that, the only person who knew was Shadow milk cookie. And that’s only because he accidentally found it.” Butterscotch cookie gives a brief chuckle afterwards.

Wait… he knew where she was this whole time, underneath the table Egg tarts legs start to shake slightly. Though Butterscotch didn’t notice. “ Wait, he knew where you were. When did he find out?” 

“Um don’t remember the exact dates, but it was quite a bit before their sealing.” Oh- that was just GREAT! He knew how much you missed her, she was one of the only people you really connected with!

“When he first found me it was both nice company and a bit of a hassle, he was always so… hyper? An-“ Egg tart is starting to space out at this point… why didn’t he tell you? Did he not trust you? Y-you’re his best friend!… or at least you thought you were… they start to swirl the ice within their tea, while politely nodding to Butterscotch cookies voice.

“ and than he had the audacity to kiss me!” 

“Wha- he kissed you..?”

“Yeah! And than he had the audacity to basically leave me on read for years!”

“D-do you… like him back…” Egg tart asks hesitantly 

“… yeah I think I do… wh-what should I do about it?” She asks with a nervousness in her voice

No no no no no, PLEASE! Why, WHY! The one time you gained romantic feelings for another-

Egg tart cookie gently clasps the hands of Butterscotch cookie in an comforting manner.

No, NO! Be selfish for once! For once in your pathetic life BE selfish. Give yourself a chance a shot! Yes we care about her- but you deserve happiness to! Please don’t-

She looks into her lovely brown eyes, now filled with such uncertainty. Egg tart opens her mouth and says-

DONT DO IT, PLEASE-

“I mean… why not give it a shot? I mean from what you’ve told me… it seems he might like you to”

“You really think so?”

“Yes, yes I do”…. You seethe at the new found light in her eyes…. You also scold yourself… for being so angry at her happiness.

You- you shouldn’t be so mad, she’s happy, like truly happy in what seems like a long time. Why are you getting so mad?!?!

… it’s because- it’s because she’s everything you wish you were, wish you could have. 

You know your just a mishmash of traits ripped straight from your friends. Mystic flours colors, a worse version of her light, yeah your a good mage… but never as good as Shadow milks mastery. Hell you have the yellows of golden butter, and shit worse versions of her lovely creations.

You want what she posses so badly- what they all poses. Identity, something that makes you special… wanted… loved…

They all love her… you adore her to, you know this. Otherwise you wouldn’t have bursted into tears upon seeing her again. But… you can’t help but be jealous.

… and you HATE yourself for it! God how can you be so selfish, she deserves to be happy- she was fucking putting her jam into her dolls for crying out loud, you shouldn’t be so pathetic. You should just suck it up and get over it-

“Egg tart?”

“-oh yes.” She gives Butterscotch cookie such a lovely smile. Its almost alarming how she can do that with what their actually feeling.

“ oh- sorry it just seems you were spacing out is all… are you okay?”

“ oh yeah- I mean the stress of the recent events is affecting me. But I’ll be fine!” Just keep smiling 

“ if you say so. Want the rest of my cake?”

Egg tart forces a giggle “ of course! I’ve always been one for sweets” they than take a big bite of cake “anyways anything else interesting happening to you?”

“Oh well you see-“

You nod and listen, just like always. You just need to keep yourself together. You just need to keep-

Smiling.

Pies for holidays and special occasions

Celebrate in Style with Pies for Every Special Occasion

Few desserts bring more joy and evoke celebration quite like pie. The tender, flaky crust with sweet fruity or creamy fillings is the perfect centerpiece for any special occasion from romantic holidays to family gatherings. Give your next celebration an extra dose of delight by baking up a pie to fit the festivities.

Valentine's Day Pies for Two

What better way to celebrate love than with a homemade pie? Heart-shaped pies are a natural fit, especially with red fillings like raspberries, strawberries, cherry, or red velvet. Chocolate pies also make romantic desserts. Mini pies are ideal for couples to share. Trade traditional pie shape for petite hand pies or pie pops everyone will adore.

Easter Pies Full of Spring Cheer

Easter is the ideal time to break out fun pie shapes, decorations, and pastel colors. Make mini egg pies by baking crust in rounded mini muffin tins. Adorable bunny ear pie crusts are another cute option kids will love. Fill with in-season fruits like strawberries and rhubarb or pretty pastel lemon and pistachio puddings.

Character Intro: Adephagia (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The BBF (Big Bold Fabulous) by Ganymede

Age- 23 (immortal)

Location- Chant du Cygne neighborhood, New Olympus

Personality- She's loud, bold, & fabulous! She doesn't care about who thinks otherwise. She takes pleasure in the overabundance and overconsumption of life's offerings. She's dating casually.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess- except for shapeshifting. As the goddess of gluttony, her powers/abilities include having an enhanced bite (can bite through extra durable materials- like metal), gluttony inducement (can induce hunger and extremes of gluttony like the overconsumption of food, drink, & other vices), and having an infinite digestive system (the most enhanced one out of all the deities in the pantheon).

Adephagia lives in a mansion in the Chant du Cygne neighborhood of New Olympus. Inside the color scheme is hot pink, fuchsia, silver, gold, red, and purple. Most of the flooring is wall to wall baby blue mink carpeting. There's also an indoor hot tub & jacuzzi. Instead of a chandelier, there's neon light fixtures. She has three st bernard dogs as pets. They're all girls & their names are Bubbles, Dimples, and Munchkin!

She has a "goodie" closet, seperate from her regular closet. It contains a lot of her favorite snacks like bon bons, salted caramel & dark chocolate covered pretzels, various gourmet popcorn, candy bars, gummy bears, fruit punch flavored licorice twists, & red velvet-white chocolate chip cookies. Adephagia frequents Hollyhock's Bakery, Cocoa Delights, and Confetti Candy Co.

Her go-to drinks include wine (red and white), vodka, champagne, margaritas, cosmopolitans, tequila, and her personal favorite- an olympian sized hot buttered rum milkshake (with extra whipped cream & caramel sauce).

In the pantheon Adephagia is friends with Ganymede (god of homosexual love & desire), Mania (goddess of insanity), Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty), Pannychis (goddess of nightlife festivities), Komos (god of revelry), Gelos (god of laughter), Apate (goddess of fraud & deception), Momus (god of mockery, satire, & ridicule), Pheme (goddess of fame), and Dionysus (god of wine). She's also cool with some of the "thick madames" of the pantheon like Iris (goddess of the rainbow), Hestia (goddess of the hearth), Clio (muse of history), Méli (goddess of bees & honey), Pandaisia (goddess of banquets), Methe (goddess of drunkenness), Thalia (grace of festivities), Terpischore (muse of dance), and Aglaia (grace of beauty & splendor).

Her official mentor was Charis (goddess of charm).

Adephagia also admires Orthosia (goddess of wealth).

She has an extensive collection of Diamond Ave. clutches- especially the food themed ones! Her latest addition is the jeweled hot dog clutch- costing 4,500 drachmas!

Adephagia is one of the few minor deities to have a temple.

Her favorite thing to eat in the morning is the Olympian breakfast platter. It includes several pieces of buttered garlic toast, a bowl of rizogalo (rice pudding), scrambled eggs (added with peppers, black olives, & onions), hash browns, biscuits (spread with apricot preserves & grape jelly), maple sugar bacon, and spicy sausage links drowned in tzatziki sauce & sausage gravy. On a laid back morning, she'll eat a large bowl of Golden Kreme Crunch cereal.

Adephagia is successful in her own right! Aside from hosting the annual gyro eating contest (which takes place during the Summer Solstice holiday), she also has a fashion & lifestyle magazine called BBF (Big, Bold, Fabulous)! She also has a fashion brand specifically catered to plus size women called FATshionista (which includes clothes, shoes, & accessories) and a modeling agency (which specifically scouts for plus size models)! Currently, she's also planning on opening up a wellness center for people suffering from bulimia.

Adephagia also has a few buffet style restaurants called Poté Tróei. There's at least four locations in a few New Olympus neighborhoods, a location in the Underworld- as well as a new one planning to open in the state of Florina. One of the specialties include a 54 inch pizza called "The Titan Sicilian." This particular order requires a 24 hour notice. It costs 300 drachmas with each different topping costing 20 drachmas each! Another specialty is the Mt. Olympus burger- a mountain of tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cheese slices, enormous thick hamburger patties, tzatziki sauce, & hickory smoked barbeque sauce totaling to 28 inches in diameter, 11 1/2 inches in height, and weighing 105 lbs! This culinary beast costs 450 drachmas and if 10 people together can finish it in under an hour, they'll receive a 5,000 drachma prize!

For other work she also models for Hot Intoxication, Maison du Drame, Graces Glam, Swimsilk, Heavenly Spark, La Petit Amour, and No.3 & Co. She also writes for the magazines Glamgerous, The Rainbow Room, & Kythereia.

Adephagia loves deep frying cloud cakes, dusting them off with powdered sugar!

She was declared the best dressed at the Olympian Gala- when they did a campy theme. Adephagia arrived wearing a custom Maison du Drame outfit- a shimmery light pink silk organza shirt with oversized bow shaped sleeves with a 5 foot long train, matching pants, thigh high white platform boots- complete with a cake sliced shaped Diamond Ave. clutch. Her hair was in a stylized bouffant (with many rhinestones & dessert themed hair clips). Her accessories included jeweled bubblegum shaped earrings and super long neon pink feather eyelash extensions.

As for her love life, Adephagia is going with the flow and not putting any pressure on herself. She "dipped her toes in the lady pond" for a minute when she made out with Pannychis one time. She also kinda hooked up with Hermes (he went down on her) & Adephagia has made out with Zelus (god of envy, jealousy, & zeal) a few times. She's seeing a giant named Androcles whom she met on a dating app. He's so her type- tall, dark chocolate, & handsome!

She also has crushes on Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity), Záchari (god of confectionery), Aplistos (god of avarice), and Pseudologos (god of lies).

Her all time favorite dessert are the chocolate glazed donuts from Hollyhock's Bakery- with her usually getting two boxes. At home, she dips them into a vanilla milkshake. She'll usually leave some for her dogs!

She's always getting shopping catalogs & coupons in the mail.

Some of her favorite meals include steak (cooked well done), spaghetti & meatballs, lasagna, moussaka, sicilian pizza (topped with chicken, red peppers, sausage, and pepperoni), fasolada, & the ultimate family meal from Olympic Chef (that comes with mashed potatoes with gravy, a 12 piece bucket of extra crispy fried chicken, six biscuits, two mini honey cakes, & two olympian sized fries).

In her free time, Adephagia loves eating, shopping, going to the beach, karaoke, going to new restaurants, listening to music, clubbing, going to the spa, yoga, spin class, cooking, and baking.

Canyon Moon

Harry receives love letters and Y/N doesn’t love anyone more than she loves Harry.

Word count: 5685

A/N: I started this story three different times and the other two are sitting in my drafts unfinished. I had a vision for this and then as I was writing it would die. I was in a deep hole but I have made it out. Canyon Moon is special and I love her so much. Everyone give her some love, she is underappreciated. Thank you to @hsogolden​ for allowing me to partake in the #FineLineFicChallenge I love this story and I hope you do as well. 

Please let me know your thoughts

Hope you enjoy! xx

The sun was shining, and the neighbor’s kids Alex and Max were laughing as they rolled around in the grass together. Harry smiled, looking over at them as he made his way to his car. 

“Good morning Mr. Styles.”  

Harry turns around as he was opening his car door and as he hears someone approach and greet him. It's the mailman, Greg. He’s an older gentleman with a big friendly smile and kind brown eyes. 

“Morning, Greg,” Harry responds cheerfully. “How’s Irene, has she got the roses planted?”

“Oh, she’s doing well. She has a bit of a cough, but nothing a chamomile tea won’t heal. Our son came by and helped her. They are looking beautiful.” His smile is so bright.

“I’ve only got one piece of mail for you today; it seems,” Greg says, reminding Harry of the original reason for his visit. “Seems it came a long way.” 

At those few words, Harry’s green eyes light up. Greg knows it’s one full of love. Harry is given the letter but doesn’t look down at it until he bids Greg goodbye, and he’s sat in his car. 

Harry is quick to open the letter, not bothering to see who it’s from because he knows only one person that loves sending him letters. As he slips the letter out of the envelope, a picture falls on his lap. He doesn’t think twice and picks it up, turning it around. Harry smiles at the photo of a woman with her arms spread open wide sunflowers standing tall and beautiful behind her. That’s not the most beautiful thing in the picture, no it’s the smiling woman that makes Harry’s world turn. 

His lady is in Amsterdam; more specifically, she is at the Van Gogh Museum surrounded by sunflowers that don’t shine as bright as she does. Harry brings the photo to his lips and gives it a quick kiss. 

My darling Harry (I was tempted to say sunflower),

I’m in Amsterdam! It’s beautiful, and I am taking many pictures, don’t you worry. The camera you gifted me is helping tremendously; I didn’t realize how lousy my last one was. You always know best. I’m thankful for you, still. Why am I in Amsterdam, you are asking. Well, I’m here to write about the famous Van Gogh and the masterpieces he created because this will be going up on his birthday, but you already know that because you read all my writing. My biggest fan. I miss you. I know it’s my job, but it’s not easy missing you. I found this bakery it was amazing but nothing compared to you. If anything, it made me want to jump on a plane and have you bake me one of everything. Missing those famous cinnamon cookies right now. 

The sunflowers had me reminiscing. Do you remember our first date? I went to pick you up in my old beat-up car named Betty. I remember being nervous, walking up to your front door. I kept repeating in my head don’t trip as I was walking up the stairs. I knocked twice before I heard a loud thump, and you yell shit. It honestly calmed my nerves. Then they all came back when you opened the door and stood in front of me wearing a cashmere solar system sweater with black pants and beautiful boots. You looked out of this world (tell me you’re laughing reading that). Then you started turning red because you looked me up and down and saw me in black sweatpants and an old over sized red Malibu crew neck with beat-up old skool vans. “I’m pretty sure I told you to dress down because we were going to be painting.” Then you responded, “uhh...you make me nervous. I changed my outfit five times and forgot you told me how to dress.”

At that moment, I wanted to reach up to kiss you, but I felt that would have scared you off (I was wrong). Then I remembered I had something in my hand and immediately thrust my hand forward. I shoved sunflowers in your face, and your response was to hug me because no one had ever bought you flowers. We then proceeded to enjoy a fun painting date on the beach. You pointed out my moon in my painting of the ocean instead of the sun. You didn’t question it; you just told me it was beautiful. I know you remember all of this (at least I hope you do). I just miss you. It’s lonely, but I love my job. Remember, I love you more. I love you more than the moon loves coming out at night. I’ll be home soon, darling.

Love Y/N,

Your fiance xx

Harry smiled down at the letter and wiped his tears. These love letters kept him going and, for some reason, made your love even stronger. It was the best first date he had ever gone on. He knew at the end of the date that Y/N was the one for him. 

Harry is ready to go to work but has to let his lady know he received her letter. 

Amsterdam letter was a sweet treat this morning, won’t even need to have my morning danish. 

Well, I’m glad it made it to you safely. 

I do need you to eat a treat in my name. I’m missing out. 

I’ll have a scone in your honor. 

That’s a beautiful picture you sent. I can’t believe you were hiding that from me. 

Got to keep you on your toes ;)

I’m going to bed. I have an early flight tomorrow

Safe travels, my love. 

Thank you. I love you xx

I love you xx

Harry tucked his phone away and felt his heart tightening in his chest. He lets out a deep breath, knowing he needs to relax. Harry just misses her. It’s hard; her job keeps her away, but the good thing is Harry’s bakery keeps him busy. 

“Morning, boss, man!” Sarah greeted him as soon as he walked through the back door.

“Hello Sarah, what’s on the agenda today?”

Sarah picks up the paper in front of her and looks it over quickly. “Kevin’s dinosaur birthday cake. It’s a red velvet cake.” 

Harry nods. “I got it. Who’s mending the front today?” 

“Jimmy and Tam.” 

“Will you head out front during lunch rush?” Harry asks, knowing how busy they get because of their croissant special. 

“Of course.” 

Sarah looks over at Harry, who has a smile on his face as he hums along to the song playing from the speakers. 

“What’s got you so smiley?” Sarah finally asks.

Harry grins, not being able to stop himself from sharing. “I got a letter from my lady today, that’s all.” He says, trying to shrug it off. 

“You get those all the time!” She exclaims. “This was different, tell me why.”

 Harry stops gathering his ingredients and looks over at Sarah. “She retold the story of our first date. Told me little details I didn’t know.” He smiles, thinking back to the letter sitting in his car. “Reminded me of how far we’ve come.”

“Well, ain’t that sweet.” Charlotte butts in as she walks in, holding an empty box that she begins to fill with treats. From danishes to chocolate croissants. “Please let Y/N know I miss her and that she should stop eating pastries from all over the world. It hurts my feelings.”

Harry laughs. “I’ll be sure to let her know.” 

With the conversation, dwindling Harry gets to work because he knows he has a busy day ahead of him.

~ ~ ~

It's a Monday morning when Harry receives another letter. 

Harry rolls out of bed late after staying up, talking to his love for hours. If he had to choose between sleeping and talking to Y/N, then sleep be damned. She's met up with a friend from what she's told him. After leaving Paris, she found Alfie and decided to travel together since they happened to be going the same way. It comforted Harry, knowing she had a friend at her side, but he wished it was him instead. 

Harry made his morning tea and warmed himself a muffin. He was taking in the quiet of the house, and it reminds him of how much he hates it. He missed when Y/N would play music so loud he thought his eardrums might burst, also missed the smell of slightly over burnt pancakes, but most of all he missed her rolling over in bed and laying her head on his chest and softly tracing his swallow tattoos to wake him up from his sleep gently.  

Harry walks into the kitchen and makes breakfast. He's in the mood for pancakes and a good cup of coffee. As he waits for his coffee to cool a little, he steps outside to collect the mail. A grin spreads across his face as he takes a step inside, abandoning the light bill for the time as something far better has arrived. 

It's a little crumbled but no rips. The letter feels light in his palm but heavy in his heart for the words contained inside. There is an address from Paris under Y/N’s name. 

Hi darling, 

I'm in Paris sitting outside on the balcony and eating my weight in macaroons, and I feel sad. I look out and see how pretty the Eiffel tower shines at night and how you'd love to view it. I'm surprised we have never come to France together. What a shame. You would put the Eiffel Tower to shame with your beauty. Harry, I see the moon standing high and I tell her all my secrets. All the ones I want to say to you. I keep thinking back to a time under the canyon moon. I remember telling you how upset I could never see the stars and their constellations and learned all about them because if I couldn't see them, then at least I wanted to know all about them. Then two weeks later you rent out a big cabin up in the canyon of who knows where and you let me tell you all about the stars. Then you looked at me and said I shined brighter than all of them. All it took for me to say I love you. I'm still not sure if you cried, or it was the reflection on the stars in your eyes, but I swear your green eyes never shined brighter than they did that night under the canyon moon. I'm sorry, I'm not coming home yet, but I hope you know I never forget where my heart is. 

I love you xx 

Love,

Your future wife

Harry smiles down at his pancakes. That date was perfect. It was the one where Harry knew she was the woman he was going to marry. Harry thinks back to how open they both were that weekend together. Once he got back home after dropping her off, although he didn't want to say goodbye but had to because they both had to go to work, he called his mom. The conversation was Harry gushing about Y/N and how she was the one. He also let Anne know that she had a big sweet tooth, which was a big plus in his book. 

Harry wants to call Y/N, but she had let him know she would be busy the next following days but would text him when she could.

 It's moments like these where Harry wishes his love didn't have a job that kept her away. It's selfish of him to ask her to stay and give it up her dream job for him. He'd never forgive himself if she did it. 

Harry has never in his life been so conflicted. He wanted to be selfish, but he couldn't for the sake of her happiness, but what about his?

~ ~ ~

It's been a shitty day. Harry got to work late, and Charlotte wasn't able to come in because she was down with the flu. Sarah had the week off because she was in England attending a cousin's wedding. It was Javier, the newest employee and him against the world today. Harry hates to admit it but he felt everything he baked tasted and looked bad. It was so bad that he handled the register, and Javier was sent to the back and baked the day away. Harry decided to close two hours early because he was beat and he knew for a fact so was Javier. He sent Javier home with a box of pastries and 75% of today's tips that sadly wasn't much either.

Harry knew he needed to let off some steam and decided to go to his gym where he'd do some running, and if his trainer was there, then a bit of boxing as well. To Harry's luck, the gym closed because there happened to be a problem at the front desk that caused the entire gym to lose power. Harry went home upset and in need of cuddles. 

He wanted to talk to his love but honestly had no clue where she was or what time it could be. He hadn't made an effort to speak to her this past week, seeing as they got in an argument, and it was all his fault. He didn't expect it to escalate, but it seemed he had run short that day. 

He currently wasn't making an effort, and Y/N was. He was just acting like a dick because he was stuck in his head wishing he could hug her and apologize. She sent extra pictures of herself, sent more I love you texts. Heck, even Anne called him to let him know that she was getting loads of pictures and was worried about Y/N. Harry knew she was doing that because he wouldn't answer her texts, and she was close to spiraling. He knew today he would send her a long message begging for forgiveness. Then hopefully, she'd tell him a story, and he'd drift off to sleep to the voice of an angel.

Harry arrived home and wanted to head inside but made a stop at his mailbox. He placed the keys in the yellow bowl by the front door. He was about to drop the mail as well when a stamp caught his eye. It was an international stamp of the moon, and Harry knew one person who used those. He didn't bother checking the information and ripped it open.

I'm sorry.

I know when you get this, our fight will be water under the bridge. (this is me being optimistic) I didn't expect us to argue about my job, it's my love, and I worked hard to be where I am. I know it's my fault; it always seems to be my fault. I'm the one making you wait at home alone. I'm the one not offering any support. I might be doing you a favor if I walk away, but I'm selfish I could never let you go. I'd let you leave me, but I'd never push you away. You're my best friend. I know you're hurt but so am I. I promise harry, I'm almost home before you know it you'll want me gone by how much time we spend together and I never let you leave the house. It sounds perfect to me. Do you remember our first big fight? I'm not even sure what we were fighting about, but I was sure you were about to walk away from me, so I did it first. I ran out the door and sat in my car and cried. I didn't even have the power to drive away. (it was also my apartment I ran out of.) You stayed up there crying as well. I think I knew if I turned that car on and left you, it would be the end of us, and I wasn't ready for that. I took a deep breath and marched my way up to my apartment. You sat on the floor with your eyes closed — a picture of us in your lap. I remember taking a deep breath and walking towards you and held my hand out. I thought I had been holding it out for the longest time but was only ten seconds. You grabbed it and pulled yourself up; I remember the cold metal of your rings meeting my hand, and I just wanted to cry, but I also was a woman on a mission. I turned out the door, and you followed, holding my hand tighter. I walked up to the roof, never letting go of your hand. I laid down on the blanket that I had left there, and you followed. We laid their hand in hand for hours until you scooted over and put your head on my chest. I ran my fingers through your hair and just began to tell you all my useless science facts. Slowly we talked it out, and at that moment, I knew I could never let you go. You are the best thing in my life. 

I love you xx 

Sincerely,

A girl in love missing you like crazy

Harry finished reading and found himself against the door. He's so stupid, of course, she'd take the blame. She's excellent at pointing the blame to no one but herself. This was all him and he had been acting like a jerk. She had been looking for reassurance that they'd be fine, heck she believed they'd be alright by now. She believed in them, and Harry didn't believe in himself. 

Harry picked himself up and sat on the couch. He pulled his phone out, and without thinking twice, he clicked the call. It rang and rang and rang until it got to voicemail. He deserved that he felt. He tried again, and after the second ring, he heard a faint hello. 

"Hi, love," He whispers before speaking up. "It's Harry." 

He waited a few seconds and heard no response. "Lovie"

"Sorry, hi. I was sleeping, got out of bed, or I would have fallen back to sleep." She told him like it was normal for him to wake her in the middle of the night. "Are you okay, did something happen?" She panics quickly, knowing it must be a little late there. 

"Everything's fine, nothing to worry about. Well, everything is not fine, and gosh, I'm just frustrated, and it's all my fault." 

"Harry, baby!" She says a bit louder to stop him rambling. "Slow down; I'm not sure what's wrong. Help me understand so I can help you."

"I ignored you for no reason, besides not being able to get over my pride, and you sent me this beautiful letter." Harry takes a deep breath to stop his tears, but it's no use. "You say you're selfish and take all the blame, but we both know it was my fault. I keep pushing you about your job, but you never once said anything about mine, especially when I stay there for hours, perfecting a recipe and standing you up."

"You make it up to me by bringing me sweets" She decides to input, hoping it will get a laugh out of him.

"I'm serious!"

"As am I, Harry." He hears the frustration in her voice. "I've missed too many date nights. You stay home or you state late at the bakery. You don't go out as often with your friends because everyone is always with their partners. It's killing me that you're unhappy."

"Stop," Harry begs, afraid of where this conversation could go.

"Am I selfish, Harry?" She dares to ask. "I want you, but I also want my job, but I fear there might come a time where I might have neither."

"I swear I will always be here. Look down at the ring I gave you." Harry wipes his nose softly. "It's a promise of forever. A forever I only want with you."

She doesn't answer, but Harry knows this is forgiveness. 

"Is this part of our forever?" She questions. 

"It is, a forever, we'll tell our children and grandchildren about."

Harry goes quiet, and so does Y/N. They bask in the quietness and hold on tight to the future they have together.

"I'll be home soon, darling," She promises. "I love you."

"I love you."

Harry! Darling!

I just had the best phone call! I am amazed and shocked. Oh, honey, I forgot to mention I’m in Rome. You know how much I love it here. I swear I still want to marry you in Italy. (Please think about it.) I had the pleasure of going to this gallery opening for this artist who’s making his significant return, and it was beautiful. His work, I feel, speaks to you. He’s also very handsome but don’t worry he is also very much taken. (no one ever looks as good as you do) I didn’t get the chance to speak with him because he doesn't like interviews, but I got on well with his girlfriend, who I chatted up because of a painting he did of the night sky in Italy with a big moon and girl looking at it from her balcony. I asked how much, but it’s not for sale. (bummer, think it might be special to them). Darling, I’m coming home. Soon I promise. Before you know it, I'll be running into your arms at the airport, and I won't even care about the PDA. I miss you. Say hi to Sarah and Lottie for me (winky face).

I love you xx

Sincerely,

Your love

Harry laughs out loud in the middle of reading the letter. She says the craziest things, and sometimes he is crazy enough to follow along. Getting married in Italy sounds like a great idea, also a bit impulsive. His mom wouldn’t be opposed, but he knows her parents would be. 

Harry reads it over and is surprised to see that she didn’t address what the phone call was on. I guess he would have to ask her during their next phone call. 

Harry arrives at his bakery and smiles at Sarah, chatting up the regular Mitch. Harry knows she tries her best to get him to crack a smile or laugh at a joke, but he never does. At least to Sarah's knowledge, he doesn’t. Harry has seen him smile down at his drink every time she turns around or walks toward the back. Harry knows it's only a matter of time before Mitch cracks and allows himself to pursue the baker. 

Sarah approaches Harry with a smirk on her face. He looks away and walks away from her. 

“Harry, I haven’t even said anything yet.” She gasps in disbelief.

“You act as if I haven’t known you for years.”

“This has to do with-” Harry is quick to interrupt her.

“Nope, if you talk about her, I won’t get any work done, and it’s about time I go sign some checks.” 

“This is important!” She yells.

“If it’s important, she’ll let me know.” 

Harry shuts his office door and gets to work because this paperwork that was piling up was not going to do itself.

~ ~ ~

I'm going home. 

I'm not sure when you’re receiving this, but I’m waiting for the phone call that follows because this is the first you hear about it. I'm estimating it to be a week from when I sent it so I should be home in two weeks. That’s crazy, just know I'm crying as I think about it because I can’t wait to feel those strong arms wrapped around me. I can't wait to have you naked for the next few days (wow! I really wrote that) I can't wait to visit the bakery and eat everything you’ve been making. I swear if I come home to a bunch of people in our home because you wanted a welcome home party, I will drive myself back to the airport and get on the next flight out of there. I just want you in your birthday suit and the bed (the wall or couch is fine if we don’t make it).

I'm going home. 

Sincerely,

(soon to be) Mrs. Styles

Five days.

Harry has to hold on for five days; then, he’ll get to see his love. 

When Harry got the letter, he stood there in shock, reading it over and over again. Once he read it for the ninth time, he set it down on the kitchen counter and rang the person who was causing him to feel like his heart would beat out of his chest. 

Harry spent the first ten minutes, crying asking Y/N if she was serious. He knew the trip should have been about a whole month longer. The rest of the call was spent each in their separate beds, no clothes, lots of filthy talking, and sweet, beautiful moans that neither of them wanted the moment to end. 

Harry was very distracted at work. He put salt in the flour for cupcakes instead of sugar. Thankfully, Charlotte caught that, or it would have been much worse later. Sarah tried her best to convince him to go home and relax, but Harry knew if he did, he would go crazy. The result being Harry was allowed to knead the dough and do paperwork in his office.  

Today, he would be doing more paperwork because it was necessary when running his own business, he just didn’t believe it when many people told him about it. Harry enjoyed it for some strange reason.

Harry stopped in front of the back door and admired the light blue color he was convinced to paint by no other than Y/N. The hand prints make him smile. His employees put their hands all around. When first painting, he just wanted to add some color to it, but she argued they needed a little more. She grabbed the yellow paint and opened it carefully. She pushed it towards Harry, gesturing him to put his hand in. He does so no questions asked, then she guides it to the middle of the door and puts pressure on it. He pulls away and smiles at his long fingers. Harry grabs her hand gently places a kiss on her knuckles then dips it into the paint. He brings her hand very close to his print and presses it against the door. It’s sweet and loves that Javi, Lottie, Jimmy, Tam and Sarah have theirs on as well, it signifies his family here at his bakery. 

Everything reminds him of her, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Harry enters and finds out he is locked out of his office, which is weird because it locks from the inside. A note slides out from under reading H, head to the place where we first said I love you. Harry knows it’s from her, but why would she send him up there. She is not supposed to be home until five days from now, so what exactly can she be planning; nevertheless, Harry leaves knowing Sarah will take care of the bakery and sets off to the canyon. 

~ ~ ~

Harry makes it to the small cabin he rented for the weekend they spent at the beginning of their relationship. He turned the note over, and it gave him this exact location. The sun is beginning to set, and it paints a beautiful picture one he wishes he could paint if only he were a good artist. 

He walks to the front door and finds another note. It says, Head to where we looked at the stars. He rounds the house and makes his way to the large backyard that has a beautiful ocean and mountain views. From a distance, he makes out a large red blanket surrounded by too many pillows. Harry could dive right on top and have a soft landing. Harry sees a small picnic basket and another note on top. Before he can read it, a song he’s never heard starts to play. It makes him smile because he may not know the song, but Y/N does, although she denies it; he always sees her singing along to these unknown songs.

“How about a picnic.” 

Harry turns around quickly and stares. He looks at her in disbelief. 

She’s here. 

She stands there wearing black sweats, a plain white t-shirt that most likely is his and worn-out white vans. 

Harry’s green eyes scanned her up and down his mind not believing she was there. Harry is quick to notice he’s crying when he blinks and feels water run down his chin. 

“I was hoping for a hug or a kiss, but staring is also acceptable.” Y/N jokes. 

Harry breaks out of his trance and runs up to her. He cups her face gently with both hands and holds her close. It’s pleasant and calming, finally being together after being apart. He opens his mouth to say something but closes it just as quickly. Instead, he leans down and connects his lips with hers.

It’s two missing puzzle pieces coming together to become one. 

“I love this welcome!” She says with a massive smile on her face. 

“You’re here.” His first words to you. “Five days early.” 

“Well...I’m right on time. My letter arrived to you a week later than I expected. You were excited and told me you were counting down the days and booked the whole week for us. I couldn’t crush your excitement even if it were to tell you I’d be home sooner.” She explains. 

“I’m very much surprised, but I don’t have the week off.” He pouts. 

“You do!” She assures him. “I went in this morning and worked everything out with Sarah. She’s got a soft spot for me. No one seemed to mind you’d be away for two weeks. Said it would be good for you.” 

“You’re sneaky” He laughs. “I love it.” He kisses her cheeks repeatedly.

She gasps and slaps his shoulder lightly. “Why did I have to find out with Lottie that Mitch and Sarah are finally dating?” 

Harry stares at her, confused. “Catch me up; last; I knew he was still pining for her from afar.” 

She shakes her head, no. “No, they looked really cozy this morning like a long hug and a kiss on the cheek.” Y/N sighs dramatically. “I wish I had a chance to ask her, but that can wait.”

Y/N pulled away from the embrace and walked towards the blanket. “Come on, darling.” She looks at him from over her shoulder. “I’ve got lots of kisses to make up for.”

Harry hums in agreement. “Something else you need to make up for that requires little to no clothing.”

Y/N laughs and squeezes the hand she’s holding. “All in good time.” 

Harry lays down first and sighs over how comfortable it is. Y/N is quick to follow, and Harry pulls her close and gently rests her head on his chest.

“When I arrived here, I thought you were going to have me stay here for the next few days alone until someone would arrive and murder me.” Harry shares with a small laugh.

“A bit dark, my darling.” She shakes her head at his thoughts. “I was thinking of having you arrive, and the whole thing would have been filled with guests and food for our wedding, and you’d have to marry me instead of waiting until autumn of this year, but I thought it would give you a heart attack.”

Harry’s heart starts beating faster. “You would have married me today,” Harry states, confusion in his voice. 

“Today, tomorrow, yesterday. I’m ready to become your wife.” She sits up. “I’m ready to settle down, finally get that cat or dog that we’ve been dying to get.” She looks up to the stars and smiles. “It’s time we really focus on us and move forward.”

“We’ve always been moving forward.” Harry is sitting up now, confused, and concerned. 

Y/N moves and sits on his lap. She cups his face gently and smiles at the beautiful face she had to look at from a phone screen for too long. 

“We’d stop moving when I’d go away to travel and do my writing. It might not have felt like it, but it truly did. We’d have movie dates through a computer screen, and it’s not the same as being together cuddled on our couch because I can’t hear your slow chewing so you don’t miss something important or when I give you massages because the bakery has been crazy. We-I deprived us of the little things in our relationship, so I felt it was right. I took our future back into our hands and we can move forward together.” Y/N grabs his left hand and strokes his ring finger where one specific ring should be. “I’m done traveling. I got a new job. I’m starting this autumn. I promise the only traveling I will do is with you by my side.”

“You quit traveling and being a journalist for me.” 

“I mean yeah, Professor Styles has a nice ring to it, don’t you think.” Y/N is laughing at how in shock Harry is. “Did you think I would spend the rest of my life traveling?”

He nods his head and hugs you tight. 

“My darling, my place in this world is right next to you.” 

He grabs her chin and guides her face to his. “I love you,” he whispers against her lips, before closing the distance between them and giving her a soft kiss. 

Y/N and Harry didn’t expect to make it work when they first got together because they were on two different paths, but through the guidance of the canyon moon, together they would go on to live a life full of joy, laughter and the driving force of it all, love.

So I made the Eat Shit Adrien Agreste, Marinette is Precious AU soooo much worse, and I must ask for some cute Marc x Marinette headcanons. Because now I delved into angst and I need to dig myself out

?????😈 can't wait

Marinette calls Marc her Muse or Little Artist

Marc calls her MarMar or Writing Muse

They have nightly cuddles, she basically uses her miraculous to go to his house to cuddle before patrol, but since he gets a Miraculous later bc Fu doesn't mind, Tikki can't object

they cuddle during patrol while everyone else with a miraculous go check around the city

Marc loves to order cookies from the bakery because Sabine answers and he specifically asks to have a cute message written on the boxes

Which he gives to Mari who just giggles and blushes

Ok so the start of the protection squad, Nathaniel doesn't believe Lila but he does agree to protect Mari with her and the others

Marc begs Nathaniel to draw Mari and him during a date which he gifts to her on their one month anniversary

Mari makes him pink chokers with flowers (funnily enough my ocs depending on plot purposes wear a choker with flowers 😉)

Eventually Marc gives Mari a choker with a red flower

Everyone in the MPS watch amused as Marc watches Mari with a dreamy look

Once Hawkmoth is defeated even though now he was barely just akumatizing people to punish Chat, Mari likes to pick up Marc who grew taller than her and twirl him

He does the same

Mari wears a little shade dark pink and leaves lipstick marks on his cheek, possibly neck too if they're 17

They help each other with homework

She makes a cupcake that's red velvet for his birthday

They wear matching outfits on Fridays

They basically tackle hug each other

Marc made her cookies once and she sheepishly told him that she's too used to her family's bakery cookies that other types aren't even good to her opinion

Which was fair and he made one at the bakery with Sabine's help

She loved it

She and him wear flower crowns sometimes

He basically picks her up princess style when he sees Adrien

They have cute anniversary dates that make all the others groan at the cheesiness, yes even Lila but they're glad thst they're together

That's all tbh

Supermonster Dinner Party: a Dragula fic.

Happy Holidays y'all! This is my fic for the @rpdrficexchange for Wolfie, aka Wolfie @thepastpresentandfutureofdrag !! I hope you like this darling! (For some reason I can't tag you in this?)

This is a weird cannon divergent style where they are their drag personas but dragula and drag race still happened, (if that makes sense) so make of that what you will.

Edit: Thanks to @hellobiqtchlasagna for helping me come up with the surprise at the end. I forgot to credit them in my rush to get my fic up and I feel bad😅

"Do you know anything about him?" Vander asked, pulling a batch of cookies out of the oven and sliding them onto a cooling rack. Biqtch was leaning against the wall, nursing a mixed drink.

"Just that he's Boulet approved, same as you." Biqtch drawled. " Swan actually told me to be nice, as if I would be mean to anyone who wasn't mean first, or a Republican." 

"You can be a bit crass at first. Drac told me to be mindful of not coming across too snooty, but she's one to speak." 

"Oop, I'm snitching! I'm going to tell her you said that!" 

"Oh, she knows, she makes fun of herself. And she would just brush it off. I can tease her a little since I know her relatively well." 

"Yeah that's fair, Lord knows they talk shit about us all the time in private."

"I'm pretty sure it's mostly good things, but yeah, they absolutely poke at our screwups with each other. " 

"Because they want the best from us, cause we're super monsters and all that." Biqtch pushed herself up from the wall, crossing over and rinsing out her cup to use again later. 

"And also because we have to work together from now on, so we have to be at least cordial to each other." Vander said, pulling out her phone to check the time. "He should be here anytime now. I told him 6, and it's 5:55." 

Just as Vander stopped speaking, the doorbell rang. 

"Speak of the devil, that should be him." Vander motioned for Biqtch to follow her as she went to the door, smoothing out some wrinkles from Biqtch's shirt before opening the door wide. 

"Hi, nice to finally meet you! Landon, right?" 

"Yup, Landon Cider. Nice to meet you too." He affirmed, holding a hot bag. Vander waved him inside and relieved him of his dish, allowing him to hang his coat up as Biqtch closed the door. 

"Nice to finally meet you, I'm Biqtch Pudding, and that's Vander Von Odd. You're hot as shit." Biqtch introduced herself, leaning against the wall as Landon took off his outerwear. The most prominent thing about him was how chiseled he was, even his face. The Boulets weren't ones to choose supermonsters based on conventional standards of beauty, but Landon was certainly very attractive. 

"Ah yes, you two are infamous. The first two supermonsters!" Landon smiled, slightly blushing at Biqtch's remark.

"I hope our fearsome reputation precedes us." Biqtch flexed, her arm about half the size of Landon's. 

"Landon, does this need to be warmed up at all?" Vander asked, holding up a casserole dish from the hot bag, interrupting before Biqtch could embarrass herself more. 

"Maybe? I pulled it out of the oven before I left, so it should still be warm." He crossed over and took off the top, holding his hand over what appeared to be a lasagna. "Oh it's fine. It probably needs to cool down a little actually. Biqtch, I know you're a vegetarian, so this is just cheese." 

"Yasss thanks doll!" Biqtch cheered. "What do you want to drink?" Biqtch led Landon over to Vander's drink cart as Vander pulled together the last little bits of the meal and set the table. She put the basket of rolls down as Landon and Biqtch came back, and Landon immediately put his drink down to help Vander put the last few things on the table. 

"Thanks babe." Vander said as they all sat down at the table and started serving food. It was quiet for the first few minutes while they ate, but then Vander started asking Landon questions, since the main point of the dinner was to get to know him. 

"So tell us about yourself Landon, where are you from, what do you do outside of doing performing .."

"Are you single?" Biqtch interjected. And Landon chuckled before responding. 

"Well, I'm from Long Beach, and I have a Hispanic background. I am happily married, sorry Biqtch." He apologized, and Biqtch pretended to be upset, pouting and snapping her fingers before sitting up and shoving his shoulder, indicating that she was joking. 

"We fucked like the all of the drag race winners do when they win but neither one of us liked it, so she was hoping to get a second chance." Vander explained, and Landon spit out his drink. 

"And you know that HOW?!" He spluttered as Biqtch clapped him on his back. 

"Sasha told me. She doesn't love the tradition, but I have a feeling she'll change her tune if Shea wins an allstar season." 

"So they haven't fucked?" 

"Oh no, they have. And they'll take any excuse to fuck. They're just rarely in the same place at the same time anymore. Trust me, Sasha's an open book once you get to know her well enough. So are most of the other RuGirls. Several of the other winners have offered to include us in the tradition, but unfortunately that probably ends with you. At least the sex part, most of them would probably be willing to makeout with you or cuddle with you." 

"Fine by me!" Landon declared, wiping his brow. And they all started laughing. 

"Yeah, we all saw you make out with Evah!" Vander teased, and Biqtch hooted appreciatively. 

"Neither of you can talk!" Landon retorted, and they all started laughing harder. "Biqtch is a dick pig and Vander handled a pup during her final floor show. Hypocrites, both of you!" He wheezed out, clutching his stomach with one hand while pointing with the other. 

"Look at the pot calling the kettle black!" Biqtch screeched. 

The rest of the night dissolved into hysterics, scream laughing at each other so loud it was a wonder they didn't get a noise complaint. The food was barely touched and cold, but no one cared. 

"I was inside so I couldn't see, but you could just hear her screaming! FUCK THE BIG PICTURE CLINT!!!" 

"That's better than Loris's temper tantrum. "NoT tOnIgHt!" 

"Well we didn't have any fun catchphrases like y'all did!"

"Bitch the fuck you mean? Everything that came out of Disasterina's mouth was fucking iconic! "Attention human males? She's murdering my pussy?" You just gotta think!" 

"Ooh ooh! I know! "You're just a trigger happy alcoholic that's what I said bitch you gotta pop a xanax every 10 fucking minutes!" That's the closest thing  Dragula has to the sugar daddy speech so far!"  

"Ok, you both are right. What can I say? I just a dummy ass thick Biqtch." She joked, standing up slightly to twerk slightly to the amusement of Vander and Landon, who laughed even harder.

The doorbell rang, interrupting their laughter. Vander got up to answer it, and came back carrying a white box, slightly damp from the snow. 

"What is that?" Biqtch asked as she and Landon got up and walked over to the counter where Vander sat it down. 

"No idea, but it's addressed to me and it's from a really nice bakery." Vander replied, cutting the string tied around the box off with a pair of scissors and opening the box. All of their jaws dropped as the lid fell back and revealed what was inside. Biqtch came to her senses first, hunching over laughing and clutching the counter. Vander covered her mouth and started wheezing as Landon chuckled and pinching his forehead as if he couldn't believe his eyes. 

"That is not what I think it is." 

"It is." Vander and Biqtch said in unison. Biqtch pulled out her phone and took a picture, still laughing. 

"I'm sending this to her right now. It's so lifelike, and I should know, I stared at her mug for weeks!" Vander laughed, kneeling to get a better look. 

"Did she send it?" Landon asked, taking out his own phone to take a picture. Vander plucked up an envelope that was beside the cake and opened it, laughing harder when she read it. 

" It's from the Boulets." She wheezed. 

" Happy Holidays uglies. Hope you don't mind if Meatball crashes your supermonster dinner party. We truly are proud of you all. XOXO. Dracmorda and Swanthula."

"Swan wrote that." Biqtch said, looking over Vander's shoulder. "Drac has chicken scratch." 

"Ooh! I'm snitching!" Vander mocked, and Biqtch doubled over again while Landon laughed in a confused way. 

"So who wants to do the honors of cutting Meatball's head and seeing what flavor her brain is?" 

"Landon should do it, welcome to the family bro. " Biqtch said. Vander nodded and handed Landon a knife, which he took. 

"Alright, cheers Meatball." Landon said as he sunk the knife into the cake shaped like her head and cut away a piece. 

"It looks like Red Velvet." Vander said as she held out a plate for Landon to put the cake piece on. 

"That's clever as fuck!" Biqtch smiled, watching as Landon cut the next piece. 

"Now I know how the Boulets feel, this is a powerful feeling, slicing someone up." 

"Oh he's definitely one of us!" Biqtch cheered, high fiving Vander. Biqtch high fived Landon as Vander's phone went off and she unlocked it. 

"Swan's glad to hear we got it and Meatball sent a bunch of grave emojis." 

"That tracks." Biqtch said as Vander put her phone away and went to grab wine glasses and a bottle, uncorking it and handing them all a glass of red wine.

"A toast." She said as she held up her glass. "To the Boulets, to Dragula, to good food and good times, and to the supermonsters, past, reigning, and future. Cheers." 

"Cheers!" Biqtch and Landon echoed. And they all drank. 

"Now let's go eat our cold food and our Meatball head cake." Vander directed. "This is a dinner party after all." 

"A holiday dinner party! Where's the mistletoe?" Biqtch joked.

"I am not kissing you again! Once was enough!" 

"Spoil sport. Landon will make out with me, won't you Landon?" 

"Umm, we'll talk. " 

"That wasn't a no!" 

Landon rolled his eyes and laughed at Biqtch's perseverance and Vander's apologetic face. This family was strange and weird and unconventional, but he loved it and wouldn't have it any other way.
