The Cook Family, 1331-1335

Family portrait, painted spring 1331 by Martha Cook

Births: Dominic and Godwin Cook (1331), Eva and Julia Cook (1333), Cecilia Cook (1335)

Deaths: Madeline Cook (unknown, 1331), Miriam Landgraab (infection, 1331), Gwendolyn Landgraab (fever, 1332), Beatrice Herrera (cancer, 1334)

details below:

1331

Tragedy strikes twice for the Cooks this summer - Miriam dies from an infected cut days after her thirtieth birthday, and to make matters worse, Benedict and Ivana wake one morning to find their sweet baby Madeline dead in the crib.

Worse still, in the autumn Baroness Landgraab passes away as well.

With both her parents and grandparents dead, poor Gwendolyn has nobody to take care of her; upon receiving her letter, Richard decides to move into Castle Landgraab to look after his niece. Secretly, the youngest brother is relieved that the duties of stewardship will leave him too busy to find a wife.

Late in the fall, Ivana goes into labor. She survives the birth and welcomes two sons, Dominic and Godwin. Unfortunately, Dominic does not survive the winter.

1332

This year begins with much more joy than the previous. Marguerite and Matias are growing into strong, healthy children.

Geoffrey celebrates his twentieth birthday surrounded by family. He and Anne are proud of their twins - Eliza and Hamish are both bright and sunny toddlers.

Despite Richard's best efforts to take care of his niece, Gwendolyn falls prey to a sudden fever, and passes away in the fall. As she died too young to produce an heir, her death marks the end of the Landgraab lineage. As none of Geoffrey or Nancy's relatives remain to inherit the land, the title of Baron falls to Miriam's family. Benedict and Geoffrey decline the title, so Richard gains ownership of the estate. Should he die, the title will be passed to Beatrice's husband, and then to her children.

1333

Benedict and Ivana's sons are both growing up quickly, reaching new milestones every day. While Godwin learns to walk and speak, Alexei starts helping out on the farm.

Two more children are born in the spring - twin sisters Eva and Julia.

Baron Richard turns twenty in the summer, and celebrates by inviting his surviving siblings to a grand feast. Laughter echoes through the halls of Castle Landgraab, and the family almost forgets about the great losses that have occurred here.

1334

Little Theophania is beginning to grow into her name.

Each set of twins is also growing up: in the fall, as Eva and Julia take their first steps, Eliza and Hamish turn six.

Unfortunately, Beatrice would never live to see her children grow up. In the winter, she passes away due to an untreatable tumor in her breast. At thirty years old, she leaves behind four children between her two marriages : Sofia, Marguerite, Matias II, and Theophania.

1335

Sofia becomes a teenager in the fall; Polo, still mourning his wife, sees her face each time he looks at his daughter.

In the winter, Adleida begins learning to read ; she is excited to be able to read to the new baby her mother is expecting.

Ivana gives birth near Winterfest - baby Cecilia is born weak, but still treasured.

While the Cook family have lost a lot these past five years, hope still remains. Benedict and Ivana have a house full of laughter, their six children keeping them busy. War is on the horizon, however, and they will have to have courage to make it through.

“Shen Qingqiu! What is this nonsense about Qing Jing requisitioning a disguise for one of its members?! You would dare send one of your little disciples trussed up like a pretty young mistress! Even I thought you better than”–

Qi Qingqi’s voice cut off on an extremely strangled note. She and the other Peak Lords all seemed unable to capture an ounce of oxygen.

Cang Qiong’s finest were gathered in a elegant war room, massive tables shoved to the side, covered with maps and intelligence reports: A mind-numbing amount of information scattered across sheaves of paper and neatly written on large boards; they spanned the walls not open to the serene nature of Qing Jing’s outdoors.

The murmuring of focused and purposeful Qing Jing disciples hushed at Qi Qingqi’s outraged exclamation and the sudden appearance of a majority of their shibo.

In the midst of the room, Shen Qingqiu stood, hands frozen in the action of sheathing a dagger to his inner thigh. While normally, such a sight would be arresting enough, it paled in comparison to the vision Qing Jing’s Lord made currently.

His eyes caught wide and surprised were rimmed with coal and rouge, claret lips parted infinitesimally. Gentle strands of hair framed his face and cascaded down his curved back. Hair ornaments tinkled and glittered in the silken black waves.

Delicate, airy robes flirted with graceful wrists, red lacquered nails making a pleasing contrast. Carmine and the tones of blushing rose danced about Shen Qingqiu, gentle fabric draping from his shapely frame; soft skin of his collarbones an–and the rounded mound of his, hi-his bust? Exposed. As was the refined line of sinewy thigh.

S-sshink!

Shen Qingqiu’s hand leaves the handle of the blade, nebulous skirts falling back into place, his pale thighs veiled from sight once more.

“Qi-shimei, Liu-shidi, Zhangmen-shixiong?”– Shen Qingqiu's eyes quickly take in the numerous uninvited visitors, yet his lilting voice doesn’t quicken from its whiplike cadence –”To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from Yue-shixiong and my shidimen?”

For some unknowable reason, Sect Master Yue and the Bai Zhan War God forsook courtesy for silence.

“Rather, to what does this Master owe my beloved sect siblings appearance,” the polished voice drawled, “ whose purpose is no doubt to meddle in the affairs of a Qing Jing operation? Without, may I add, any proper knowledge of the purpose of this operation to begin with?”

Mu Qingfang, who to this point was standing unobtrusively to the side, stepped forward, courteously greeting the Maste– Lady? Of Qing Jing.

His fellow peak lords prayed blessings, to be gifted such a level headed martial brother!

“These shidi apologize for the discourtesy, Shen-shixiong.” Mu Qingfang’s voice may have hesitated, or stuttered, and almost uttered ‘shijie’ but no one noticed because they were too caught up in their own lawless thoughts.

A Qing Jing disciple helpfully handed Shen Qinqqiu a fan. With a crack! It met his open palm, a gavel descrying doom.

Haloed in light, the Qing Jing Master stood like a wrathful goddess, a holy judge tired of the sullying presence of mortals.

Qing Jing’s Master, when garbed in his usual attire, was a sharp, intimidating figure. Graceful in his execution of masculinity, not unlike a dagger. Moreso, then, donning the mantle of femininity. Some intangible attributes changed, that when masculine, repelled, yet when feminine compelled. Those certain peak lords were unprepared to handle such a thing.

Shen Qingqiu tsked, turning his back he subsequently ignored them after hand-waving a disciple into acting as the hospitality.

The wrong-footed peak lords were bundled off to the side and laden with tea and light victuals, being appeased into silence and unobtrusiveness by snacks. If some of the scholarly disciples secretly thought of it as the kiddie table, that's for them to know, isn’t it?

Dulce's first freelance gig was a success! She woke up very early, but it wasn't so bad, especially with the company of her MP3 player. She was in the zone and time flew by. The only bad thing is that she doesn't know how to drive, so she had to Uber to the baby shower and back with all the food she had to carry. The driver was nice enough to help her take some of the stuff into the house 💀 All in all, Dulce couldn't be happier and she's glad she got to be part of the momentous occasion.

Cooking Disaster

Older sister Mikaelson reader x Hope Mikaelson

Summary: Hope tries to cook, it doesn't end well

Warnings: mentions of burns?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You run into the kitchen, the smoke alarm blaring. "What the hell's going on?" You vamp over to the control panel and turn the alarm off.

"Cooking," your little sister tells you, backed away from the stove.

"Hope" You sternly say. "Okay, I'm sorry, I tried to cook and it didn't go well." She looks over to the steaming pan with charred food that used to be edible.

You sigh, "Alright, sweetie, it's okay you're not in trouble. Let's clean this up" Hope nods and turns to the pan, about to touch the metal handle without a cloth. "Or, you know what? You..sit here, while I clean. We don't need any more disasters." You lift Hope up onto the only clean countertop before she hurts herself.

"Hey! I can cook good if I really needed to!" Hope exclaims, a pout playing on her lips. You turned back in her direction from where you were dumping the charred contents in the pan into the trash can. She immediately backs down from her fight once she sees your raised eyebrow.

"Okay, so maybe I can't. But I'm still hungry" Hope says, her stomach rumbling on cue with her words.

"Hmm, okay" You chuckle. "How about we go to that Italian restaurant up the street that you like so much."

"Yes!" She exclaims. "Just give me a second to.." You wave your hands forward, everything getting cleaned in mere seconds from a spritz of your tribrid magic.

"Oh, you've got to teach me that spell," Hope says in awe. "No way, you've got to learn to clean your messes up" You shake your head, "And this does not count because you could've gotten burnt if you had tried cleaning. Just for future reference." You kiss her forehead and run your hand through her hair on the side. "Fine" She smiles.

"Ready to go, Sweetie?"

"Yup," She hops off the counter and grasps your hand in hers. She drags you over to the door, where you put your black heels on and she slips her purple runners on.

She entwines her hand in yours again, as you guys leave the abattoir and walk up to the small restaurant.

You guys ate a profound amount of pasta and breadsticks, coming home stuffed and cuddling up on the couch.

The Cook Family, 1341-1345

Family portrait painted winter 1842 by Martha Cook

Births: Isabela Benali (1343), Emanuel and Kareem Benali (1344)

Deaths: Polo Herrera (infection, 1341), Isabela Benali (stillborn, 1342) Adleida Cook (food poisoning, 1342) Geoffrey Cook (lightning, 1342), Emanuel Benali (stillborn, 1344), Kareem Benali (unknown, 1345) Matias Herrera II (drowned, 1345)

Marriages: Sofia and Salim Benali (1342)

1341

Theophania turns thirteen in the spring.

Tragically, her father Polo passes away in the summer due to an infected wound. With their parents dead and their mothers' siblings all too busy to take in four children, Theophania, Sofia, and the twins sail to Castille to stay with their paternal uncle Christopher.

Later in the fall, Eliza and Hamish also celebrate their thirteenth birthday.

Alexei's blacksmith apprenticeship is progressing well, but the work is long and hard - every day Alexei arrives home filthy and exhausted and heads straight to bed.

1342

Rejoice! Benedict has survived the war and returns home to his family. Changed forever by the things he saw and did,he is overjoyed to meet his new son and to try and return to a sense of normalcy.

He and Ivana spend their first night back together the way a husband and wife often do. While she is overjoyed her beloved has come home, the thought of going through another pregnancy worries her.

Life returns to normal for the Cooks; but occasionally, after her husband has gone to bed, Ivana creeps downstairs to spend a night with Martha.

Sofia reaches adulthood in the summer. She is settling in well to her new life in Castille - she has even caught the eye of a certain bachelor, a scholar from Granada named Salim. The two are married in late August.

Unfortunately, Adleida dies in the autumn from an illness caused by eating old soup.

In a freak accident, Geoffrey is struck by lightning and killed in the winter. Too young to find spouses yet or live on their own, Eliza and Hamish write to their uncle Richard, who agrees to take them in at Castle Landgraab. He takes on Hamish as an apprentice - Richard has not found a wife or produced an heir, but his nephew would make a fine successor for the barony.

1343

Early in the year, Sofia and Salim welcome a child into the world; unfortunately, baby Isabela is stillborn.

Richard turns thirty in the spring. As with his twentieth, he holds a feast, but the guest list is much smaller ; he and Benedict are the only siblings left alive. Along with their undead sister and their brother's orphaned twins, they share a quiet meal.

In the fall, Benedict II turns six. He is a sickly and squeamish young boy, and prefers the company of books and chesspieces to dirt and animals.

1344

Godwin is growing up quickly; he and his brother Alexei are the terror of the town. Both brothers are rivaling for the affection of Leah, the daughter of the local cheesemonger.

In the winter, Sofia gives birth again to twin boys. Emanuel is stillborn, but Kareem is a healthy baby; the first of generation four to survive birth.

Sadly, he passes away weeks later.

1345

Eva and Julia celebrate their thirteenth birthday in the winter; they are growing into bright and confident young ladies.

Far off in Castille, their cousin Marguerite turns twenty. Her celebration is tinged with grief - weeks earlier, her twin Matias drowned in a lake on a drunken fishing trip gone wrong.

The past five years bring many questions for the future. Will generation four ever make it to childhood? Another recruitment campaign will begin for the war soon; will Benedict and Ivana be torn apart from each other again, either by war or by the secret between them? Which brother will win Leah's heart? To find out, we can only wait for the hands of time to turn...
