Actual Crumbl Sugar Cookie Recipe from a former employee who is no longer bound by their NDA:

makes approximately 55 cookies (or 200 minis!):

ingredients:

For Cookie:

2 pounds SALTED butter

1.9 pounds white sugar

1.2 pounds powdered sugar

8 eggs

4 cups of canola oil

4 tsps of ALMOND EMULSION. can substitute for extract, but use half the amount. can also swap for other flavored extracts like vanilla!

6 pounds of flour

*half ingredient packet* Crumbl uses ingredient packets to make sure that only corporate knows the recipes, but based on what’s missing from a standard cookie recipe and what happens if you forget a packet these are the approximate substitutions

5 tablespoons baking soda

5 tablespoons baking powder

For the Frosting:

1/2 a pound of SALTED butter

6 cups of heavy whipping cream (40% milk fat)

7.5 pounds powdered sugar

2 teaspoons ALMOND EMULSION *same as before can be substituted with half amount of almond extract or vanilla if you choose*

any food coloring of your choice but Crumbl uses RED. you only need *drops*

baking directions:

preheat oven to 290 degrees F or 143 C

soften your butters in your microwave, this step is crucial. you want them NOT at all melted, but soft enough to mold with your hands easily

put your butters and sugars into a large bowl, it’s easiest if this is a stand mixer, but if not an electric hand mixer is fine. you *may* attempt this by hand but i would recommend you don’t.

if you have levels choose your most medium level and beat your butter and sugar for 10 minutes. seriously. and it’s probably not done. scrape the sides, if there is any resistance it’s not done. the texture you’re going for is like passing your spatula through a cloud. you should feel no resistance, the mixture will be light, fluffy and if you feel it between your fingers it will be silky with *slight* sugary texture. imagine applying it to your face, it’s a daily cleanser not a weekly exfoliant.

when you think you’re done put it on for another 2 minutes to be safe.

turn down to level one and add your eggs, oil and flavoring. mix until it creates a creamy soup mixture.

add all of your flour and baking soda and powder.

mix until a homogeneous dough forms.

Sugar cookies at Crumbl are weighed at 4 ounces and scooped using a portion scoop to get their standard shape, then flattened to about 3/4 of an inch thick.

or if you don’t have access to a scale this recipe makes approximately 55 cookies so do your best with that.

*if you want to make minis like Crumbl does for catering the weight is 1 ounce & the baking time is 8 minutes!*

place on a parchment lined baking sheet 2 inches apart from both the other cookies and the sides of the baking sheet. This will be about 9 cookies.

bake for 14 minutes flipping half way.

if you are planning to frost these cookies here are the mandatory next steps to ensure you don’t end up with soggy cookies.

let cookies cool on either baking sheet or on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.

put as many as you can in a single flat line onto a baking tray or something that will fit in your fridge and put in the fridge for another 20 minutes.

now they will be ready to frost with the frosting in the next steps of this recipe.

frosting directions:

soften butter like above

add butter, 2 cups of heavy cream, 2.5 pounds of powdered sugar, food dye, and flavoring to your mixer.

mix on low for one minute or until mostly combined

mix on medium until smooth

mix on high for 3 minutes

turn back to low and add the rest of the cream and powdered sugar.

mix on low until mostly combined

mix on medium until smooth

mix on high for 3 more minutes.

viola! you have Crumbl Sugar Frosting.

now to frost your cookies like they do at Crumbl….

fucking good luck! — I mean…

If enough people request it I’ll do a little video.

you want a smooth flat top with a little flat swirl.

For the Purple Sponge Cake:

4 large eggs

250 grams of granulated sugar

250 grams of all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

120 ml of whole milk

120 ml of vegetable oil

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Purple food coloring (gel works best)

For the Italian Meringue:

4 large egg whites

250 grams of granulated sugar

60 ml of water

A pinch of cream of tartar

For the Whipped Cream Frosting:

600 ml of heavy cream

2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Pink food coloring

For the Decoration:

Edible pearls and glitter

Sugared berries (cranberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Candied lemon peel, finely chopped

Edible gold stars

Instructions:

1. Bake the Purple Sponge Cake:

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line three 18 cm (7-inch) cake pans.

In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy and light in color.

Sift together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the egg mixture.

Mix milk, oil, vanilla extract, and purple food coloring in a separate bowl. Then fold into the batter until uniform.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool completely after baking.

2. Prepare the Italian Meringue:

Place sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Once the sugar syrup reaches 115°C (239°F), start whipping the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

When the syrup reaches 121°C (250°F), slowly pour it into the egg whites while continuing to whip until glossy and cool.

3. Make the Whipped Cream Frosting:

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Take a portion of the whipped cream and mix with pink food coloring for the colored layers.

4. Assemble the Cake:

Trim the tops of the cakes to level them if needed. Place one layer on a cake stand.

Spread pink whipped cream on the first layer, then add the second layer and repeat.

Frost the outside of the cake with the white whipped cream, smoothing it out.

5. Decorate the Cake:

Pipe Italian meringue on top in tall swirls to create a dramatic effect.

Decorate with sugared berries, edible pearls, and glitter.

Add bits of candied lemon peel around the edges for a zesty touch and place gold stars sporadically for a magical finish.

6. Serve:

Chill the cake for at least 1 hour to set the frosting and meringue before serving.

Slice with a hot knife to get clean cuts and serve this enchanting dessert.

Pedro pascal x reader| based off this tt bc it made me sad

Day off

Summary: you saw a clip on an interview of Pedro talking abt his body and decided to spoil him bc why not.

It was late at night, you couldn't sleep, you were too busy scrolling through tiktok and all the wonderful pedro pascal edits. That was until you came across one edit it was his Vanity Fair lie detector test, as soon as you heard him say that he wasn't fit anymore your heart sank. You saw him as nothing but beautiful, he was your whole world and it hurt to see him talk about himself like that, you looked over at your boyfriend who was peacefully sleeping, he looked so beautiful like this and you wanted him to know it. You looked over at the clock 7:28 am the only store that would be open is walmart. You slowly climbed out of bed and checked his schedule. He had the day off. You fixed yourself up so you didn't look horrible but you didn't do your hair or make up just because it was 7 am and you were only going to walmart. You started up your car and drove to walmart while listing some lana del rey, you grabbed a cart then went to the food isle you grabbed every single type of berry that was there , powdered sugar, waffle mix, whipped cream, ice cream, and captain crunch, then to the candy isle you grabbed his favorite chocolate and candy then you got a little mandalorian plush for u and little grogu for him. You got him just a blank white card because you thought all the other ones were too cheesy. You checked out and drove home, you started to wash the berries and then you made the waffle mix. After making the waffles you set the table and after digging through your closet you found some white candles, you have no clue how pedro hasn't woken up yet. You served the waffles om a plate sprinkled some powder sugar, and swirl of whipped cream with a strawberry, black berry and two blueberrys(FUCK RASBERRYS ALL MY HOMIES HATE RASBERRYS)  you grabbed the card and wrote ‘i feel i dont tell you this enough but i love you, i think your perfect in every way and you make life worth living,  Jose Pedro balmecda Pascal i love you’. Went to your room to wake him up “ baby wake up i gotta surprise for you” you lightly shook him he opened his eyes ``huh, oh ok” you grabbed his hand and led him the the kitchen a smile rose on his face you sat him and told him to wait there you grabbed the candy, chocolates  and the card. You handed him the card and as he started to read it you could've sworn you saw a tear but he denied it quickly. He closed the note and said “thank you baby i love you so much” and immediately started to eat, after you finished eating you guys decided to move to the couch and watch his favorite movies. You didn't know how you got so lucky but you did and you wanted to to be yours forever

The companions and Tav prepare and enjoy Hot Chocolate

I'm feeling a little inspired by the season to try to enjoy the little things. Including coco. And since the BG3 brainrot won't go away, lemme speculate for fun.

Astarion: Astarion would politely ask Tav to make the coco. Dark chocolate, something fruity. Double cream but not too much so it's still thick and rich. Very little sugar. Then he'd spike it with brandy when Tav wasn't looking and raise a toast to the two of them. He doesn't ask for himself tho. He asks because he thinks Tav would like it. Gale: Gale would absolutely pour his heart into preparing a French style hot coco topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a toasted marshmallow a la Ned Flanders style. Then he would invite Tav to curl up on their sofa near the fire and chat about holidays, with or without anecdotes and trivia about various traditions around Toril Karlach: Coco powder mix and mini marshmallows. Plain, simple, beloved. Karlach would lean into the childhood memories, and reminiscing about beloved holiday traditions. Maybe while eating the "leftover" mini marshmallows by the handful. Wyll: Red Velvet Hot Chocolate. Swirled in a glass mug with whipped cream stripes and a candy cane stir stick. Showy for sure, but the flavor is delightful and playful. He and Tav would sit and discuss intrigue and make playful looks at one another with whipped cream mustaches.

Lae'zel: She doesn't really understand and ends up making Xocolatl (the chocolate drink from the Aztecs made with raw cacao, water and maybe chili pepper). She finds it invigorating, despite its bitter flavor. When Tav makes it for her, she scoffs at first, but the sweet beverage is certainly an experience for her. Shadowheart: Having never had it before, she finds it pretty frilly and indulgent. Tav makes a simple coco mix for her anyway and she is delighted by it and tops it with everything. Whipped cream, marshmallows, sprinkles, graham crackers. Its a messy, colorful, atrocity. She may or may not play with the whipped cream can to tease Tav.

These are just my speculations. And I'm sure everyone has different ideas of hot chocolate vs coco mix...whatever. Just for fun. How do you think they would enjoy their hot chocolate?

500+ follower event!

As decided by popular vote, a food themed ask box event!

Running from 9-12-23 to 9-19-23, hopefully the menu makes sense!

Milkshake themed!

Here’s our menu for the special 500+ follower event running from 9-12-23 to 9-19-23! To enter your order, just put it in my ask box! I may suspend the ask box if I get overwhelmed, but all asks put in during this time frame are eligible for this event.

Who can go on an order? Why, you and a character of your choice as long as they are +18. Please clarify if this is a character from a specific fandom, otherwise I will assume One Piece as that’s my most active fandom at this time.

For yourself, please include a short description for your pronouns (F!, M!, GN!, AFAB, and AMAB), appearance, style, and personality. I just need a reasonable amount of information to write your stand in with. If there’s a particular quirk or detail you want focus put on, please do include it!

If I’ve written for you before, an OC may go in your place! I’m sticking to just what’s in the ask box, so if you don’t include it, I won’t know!

All I ask is that you keep it relatively simple, polite, and short since I don’t know if there’s a character limit to the ask box. Should you need multiple asks, make it clear which are yours.

If you intend to ask for a +18 order (smut), I advise you to be at least 18 as I voluntarily flag all my +18 content. In this particular context, I especially need to know AFAB/AMAB so I may write appropriately.

As someone who loves sweets, what fine desserts exist across Tamriel? I’ll bet the bosmer get super creative! And the Khajiit are sure winners.

Aside from candies and sweets, desserts across Tamriel reflect local tastes and vary in complexity, flavour, and texture.

Altmer

Dessert in Summerset is always served cool or chilled, and is bound to be just the right amount of flavourful and refreshing. Take, for example, the famous sorbet cups served everywhere from street corners in Alinor to posh dining tables. Some of my favourite flavours are candied cherry blossom, jasmine with dark chocolate chips, and mint with lime zest.

Argonians

Nothing beats the popping "onde-onde" balls beloved by Black Marsh residents. These sticky "cakes" are made of glutinous rice, and have a liquid coconut or palm sugar centre, and are liberally coated in shredded coconut. While small and easy to eat in a bite, the glutinous rice does get quite filling, so four is usually enough for dessert!

Bosmer

Custard, in its most perfect, creamy, glorious, silky form, is one of the staples of Valenwood desserts. Made with sugar mammoth cream and eggs, these lightly sweet custards are served as is, chilled, or topped with bacon bits for some crunch. My personal favourite is the non-Green Pact version of a creme brulee, where custard is drizzled with moon sugar and blasted with a flame spell until caramelised and crisp on top.

Bretons

The humble chocolate pastry is probably every Breton's favourite everyday treat, and for good reason. Sweet dark chocolate enveloped by buttery puff pastry is oh so simple yet oh so decadent. Best served with a cup of tea or coffee.

Dunmer

A traditional Dark Elf dessert loved by all from Mournhold to Windhelm is a deliciously weird "cake" made from a layer of sweetened glutinous saltrice, and topped with an equally-sized firm layer of marshmerrow custard. Served chilled, these "kueh salat" are enormously addictive and satisfying. One of my favourite desserts.

Imperials

Every Imperial dessert is enjoyable in my book, especially those containing a drop or two of something boozy. Take, for example, the humble tiramisu of Bruma. Almond and coffee and all things flavourful make up this rich, mascarpone-based cake, made traditionally with almond biscuits soaked in amaretto as a base. Topped with a mound of glorious cocoa powder, it's a sumptuous delight of a dessert.

Khajiit

Miso...caramel? Umami fermented soy bean paste meets rich moon sugar caramel for the ultimate flavour fusion that I certainly wasn't prepared for! Big batches of Miso caramel are always on hand in any confectioner's kitchen. It goes in everything from ice cream and cheesecake to being mixed with dulce de leche for an outrageously decadent pudding. On that note, I'll have one miso caramel pudding with a miso caramel cream coffee, thanks.

Nords

Steamed treacle pudding gets my vote as one of Skyrim's best desserts. Dense and gooey, and sometimes even drenched in mead, these puddings are served hot at every tavern (rivalling Breton sticky toffee pudding). Topped with whipped cream, the rich treacle is a real treat when poured over and infused into the rich butter pudding!

Orcs

Sweet potato pudding is a set custard infused with lots and lots of roasted sweet potatoes! Mashed and mixed into a plain creme patissiere, then swirled through with a spiced caramel swirl, these ganache-like treats are simply to die for (and you just might, if you try nick this off an Orc).

Redguards

Cardamom and saffron are ubiquitous in Redguard cooking, and this includes desserts. "Rasmalai", a dish made from fried, spongy patties of cottage cheese soaked in cardamon syrup, floating in a thick and sweet saffron and cardamom milk sauce. While it sounds a bit odd, rasmalai is a true treat for the senses, and is a rich and flavourful end to any meal.

Strawberry Jelly and Vanilla Cream Brioche Doughnuts with Lilac Sugar

Lilac Sugar:

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup fresh lilac petals

1 vanilla bean seeds removed

Doughnuts:

1¼ cups warm milk

2 Tbsp. active dry yeast

1 Tbsp. granulated sugar

6 Tbsp. butter softened/lightly melted

1 egg

3½ cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. salt

Strawberry Jelly:

1 quart fresh or frozen strawberries diced

¼ cup coconut or granulated sugar

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. vanilla bean seeds removed

Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla bean seeds removed (or 2 vanilla)

½ tsp. flaky sea salt

Lilac Sugar:

In a bowl, combine the sugar with the lilacs and vanilla bean seeds. Pour the sugar into a glass jar and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. The longer it sits, the more flavor the sugar will have.

Doughnuts:

In a large mixing bowl (I like to use my stand mixer), combine the warm milk with the yeast and sugar. Allow the mixture to sit 5-10 mins or until the mix is foamy and smells like bread.

To the bowl, add the butter and egg, mix a little to combine and then add 3 cups flour and the salt. Knead the dough using a dough hook or your hands until the dough comes together and is smooth, about 3 minutes with a mixer and 5-10 by hand. If the dough seems too sticky, add the remaining  ½ cup flour. The dough should come together, but be slightly sticky to touch. Grease a large bowl and place the dough ball inside. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place while you work on the jelly, at least 15 minutes.

To make the jelly, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a small sauce pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and then cook over high heat, mashing the strawberries as they cook down until the jelly is thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before mixing with the cream.

To fry the doughnuts, line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to a ½ -inch thickness. Using doughnut or cookie cutters, cut out 1½ -inch-diameter rounds. Arrange the doughnuts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between doughnuts. Cover the doughnuts loosely with plastic wrap while the oil heats.

In a heavy-bottomed large pot or deep fryer, heat at least 2 inches of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, use a slotted metal spoon or spatula to carefully place the doughnuts in the hot oil. Fry, flipping once, until light golden brown,1 to 2 minutes per side. When done, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Make sure to return the oil to 350 degrees F. between batches. Let the doughnuts cool completely before filling.

To make the cream, add the heavy whipping cream to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add the cold jelly and gently fold it into the cream to create swirls.

Spoon the jelly and cream into a pastry bag fitted with a tip or just use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pierce the base of each cooled doughnut with piping tube and pipe a little filling into each doughnut. Generously sprinkle each doughnut with lilac sugar.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Divide the batter into three bowls. Color each one with a different food coloring.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Meringue:

4. Assemble the Cake:

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream frosting over it.

Top with the second cake layer and spread another layer of whipped cream.

Add the final cake layer and cover the entire cake with a thin layer of whipped cream, smoothing it out. This is your crumb coat.

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. Decorate the Cake:

After chilling, cover the cake with another layer of whipped cream frosting, creating a smooth surface or swirling texture as you prefer.

Pipe meringue peaks on the top of the cake.

Garnish the cake with fresh berries, edible pearls, and gold leaf if using.

6. Final Touches:

Use a culinary torch to lightly toast the meringue peaks until golden.

Drizzle some melted white chocolate or a fruit coulis over the meringue and berries for extra decadence.

7. Serve:

Let the cake set in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Slice and enjoy your Fantasy Berry Meringue Layer Cake!

Prompt idea! One of the Links birthday! (Could be Time or Wild, both of them got confusing ages)

None of the Links were known for doing things halfway. In fights, they worked like a well-oiled machine, with impeccable skill and attention. None of them ever had to worry about their backs being exposed because there was always someone there to protect them.

Even when setting up camp, they all had their jobs that tended to change enough to keep everyone happy. Except for cooking, Wild was the only one trusted to do that. Though he usually employed the use of another hero's help to assist him with preparations. Perhaps someday a few of them would learn enough to cook something on their own.

This is all to say that the moment whispers of Time's birthday reached them all, it was destined to be quite the event. Behind the old man's back, plans were concocted. Though, they could only convince Time to go patrol with one of them so many times before getting suspicious and they ran out of paper from Warriors' diary after a few days of passing notes.

Still, they managed. Warriors and Wind were in charge of the whole affair, seeing as they were the ones who knew the date of Time's birthday in the first place. They took the job incredibly seriously, making sure that everyone was involved in some way.

Finally, the day had come and the plan spurred into motion. First, Four faked being sick, ensuring that they'd have a late start to the day, giving Wild enough time to make them a hearty breakfast. Full on pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns, Wild even made a fresh wildberry syrup and whipped cream made of Lon Lon milk that he saved special from their last visit to the ranch.

Most of the day passed normally, all the monsters they ran into were easily disposed of, then the fun really started.

After a rivetingly pathetic performance by Four, they decided to set up camp nice and early, they were too far to make it to the closest town anyway.

Warriors went with Legend and Hyrule to distract Time for long enough that preparations could be completed, and several 'accidents' were planned to waste plenty of time. Wild started on the cake while Sky frantically finished his wood carving present that he'd only been able to work on at night.

Four and Wind furiously cut up little pieces of ribbon to stuff into both the smithies and Sky's gust bellows, hoping to create an explosion of confetti when the time came. They were also figuring out how to rig some deku nuts into decorative smoke bombs.

Until it was time to make the frosting, Twilight was sent to watch the other group from the shadows, to make sure they didn't come back too soon.

When Wolfie caught a whiff of warm vanilla, he headed back to the campsite quietly, satisfied that the other Links would be occupied with Hyrule stuck high up in a tree.

Twilight, being the perfect equilibrium of strength and stamina, was the perfect person to whip up the frosting. He wasn't bothered by the vigorous whisking for minutes at a time or by the powdered sugar dusting his tunic and wolf pelt.

They all helped decorate the cake, Wild with the swirling frosting and the rest covering it in berries, intermittently popping one in their mouths as there seemed to be more than enough to do so.

When it came to the final touches, Wild paused.

"Have we ever figured out how old he is?" Piping tip pointing at the top left of the cake, getting ready to frost the message.

"No..." Twilight muttered after a moment of thought, "You could probably just go with 'Happy Birthday', his age doesn't matter."

"I have a better idea, but you guys can't look until he gets here." Wild smiled mischievously. It made Twilight and Sky share a nervous look but ultimately figured what Wild had in mind wouldn't be too bad. At worst it would be a joke that wouldn't land.

"Get ready to bring them back, I think we're ready," Wild announced after a couple minutes of focused silence.

After a long few minutes of waiting for Wolfie to return with the other half of the group, the whole time being spent keeping Wind away from reading what had been written on the cake, the only thing that managed the feat was letting the kid hold one of the gust bellows turned confetti poppers.

Finally, the time had come, the sound of footsteps neared and the anticipation for the moment heightened considerably. All their planning and scheming had come to this. Their passive conversation had stopped as they prepared for the rest of the group to exit the treeline.

With a pop and a melodic whoosh, the air was suddenly filled with shimmering flecks and sparkling smoke as well as the congratulatory voices of eight heroes.

Time only recovered from the shock for a moment before he read the writing on his meticulously decorated cake, and he laughed. The same loud dad-laugh that he did when pranked one of the others, mostly Warriors. He had to lean over for a moment to catch his breath after the fit, prompting the others to see what the cook had written on it.

'Happy 69th Birthday Gramps'

Well, at least Time seemed to like it.

Chapter 16: It's Gonna Be Me | ao3 - wattpad

THEN

Your apartment was cold and lonely compared to the warm bustle you'd become accustomed to at Wayne Manor, but you had a point to prove.

Jason had texted you once, while Roy had taken to blowing up your phone in the days following. By the time Monday came around, you were shocked to find the redhead at your locker before Tim had even gotten there. 

You raised a questioning brow at his uncharacteristic timeliness to school, then covered his face by opening your locker. “What do you want?”

“Good morning to you, too,” Roy joked. His hair flopped back into view around your locker door. “Jason made scones as an apology for being a huge dick.”

You heard a paper bag ruffle from behind you, but you focused on grabbing your books for the first half of the day. When you shut the door and he was still there, wriggling the bag in your face, you saw no better option than to grab them from his hand and chuck it into the trashcan on the other side of the hall.

The sound was a lot louder than you expected, but you went with it anyway.

His mouth dropped.

Yeah, you weren’t crawling back this time.

Damian showed up and overtook Roy’s steps as he fell in step beside you, pushing him behind the two of you in the process. You’ve never had friends, so you’d never given anyone the cold shoulder. However, the way you and Damian were chittering along like Roy wasn’t even there was definitely cold.

Like Mr. Freeze cold.

Your heart ached, knowing if you chanced a look over your shoulder, Roy would have his signature puppy pout that would make you want to forget everything and forgive him, so you forced your eyes ahead. Eventually, the trailing presence left and you and Damian made it to class minutes before the warning bell ever rang.

“You’re more tolerable than usual,” Damian commented.

You were faced toward the window with the end of your paintbrush tapping against your pencil outline. 

“Less distracted, I guess,” you responded, turning from the window to wet your brush.

Damian hummed, “The manor has been quiet.”

“I’m not a loud person.” You doubted your absence would be that noticeable in a house filled with that many kids.

“Your presence demands attention, then,” Damian restated. “You will come over tonight for a sleepover.” It wasn’t even a question, rather a demand. How could you refuse?

Oh, right.

Roy’s annoying ass you could deal with, but Jason? Anyone with eyes could see you were two opposing forces. Nothing was ever easy with him. You gulped at the idea of running into him again so soon.

Damian called your name.

“Huh?” His face scrunched up in concern. “Oh, sleepover. Yeah,” you trailed off, swirling your brush in the pigment, “I think I can come over.”

You didn’t bother to look over at the confused look that was undoubtedly on his face and were grateful when class started to cut off further questioning.

•

Damian didn’t question your fleeting nature in the manor when you insisted on staying in his room sketching Titus. Eventually, he got tired and begged to be let out.

Dinner ultimately went smoothly, with both Dick and Babs in attendance and Tim joining a few minutes in. 

It was dessert that was messy.

You should’ve known something was off when Alfred asked for your help on the whipped cream. You should’ve known he was the scheming old man everyone claimed him to be. 

Alfred left you to whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar when Jason’s skunk stripe made a sudden appearance. 

You froze.

“Hey,” your name spilled nonchalantly from his mouth. You continued whisking. If Jason wanted to talk, he could talk. “You doing karaoke tonight?”

Out of all the things you expected to come out of his mouth, that definitely wasn’t one of them.

“What?” you asked impatiently.

You didn’t miss the smirk that trickled onto his scarred cheeks. “Karaoke?”

You sighed.

He made his way behind you, coming up beside you while still allowing a decent amount of space between you.

Chatter from the other room carried over to the kitchen as Dick rambled on about some ski trip in the Alps. The clock in the kitchen ticked every second and the whisk beat against the metallic bowl in your hand.

“Did you like the scones?” You didn’t rise to his bait. The heavy cream was still far too soupy to be used, so you quickened your pace. The faster you could get this over with, the better. Metal crashed against metal, Dick’s voice rang out and the clock chimed out eight times. “I’m sorry.”

It was quiet.

You set the whisk down on the counter with a gentle clang but refused to face him.

“You already said that,” you point out.

Damian called what you were fixated on- the tile between the wall and the cabinets- a backsplash. You’d never been so interested in the pearlescent tile that graced the space, but it’s all you could focus on at the moment. If it weren’t for that stupid fucking tile, you’d be seconds away from walking straight out the front door again.

“Jay babe, yooo -oh,” Roy’s boisterous voice cut through the lull in the dining room, calling out jokingly to Jason only to abruptly cut himself off at the sight of your back. “Hey,” your name is added on like a second thought.

Your fight or flight kicked in and your spine straightened in your indecision.

With both of them present, it was now or never.

Your eyes tore from the backsplash to finally confront them, “I don’t care if you guys think I’m a bitch for acting how I did. I’m tired of being strung along,” you choked, rephrasing quickly. “As a friend, you know? You can’t just decide when you want to associate with me and when you don’t like I’m some toy. I’m not scared to be alone.” 

It was a thinly veiled threat and they knew it.

It was a lie and you knew it.

Roy stepped closer to you, testing the murky waters that separated you. His eyes searched yours for any hesitation, but your resolve quickly crumbled until he found none. “You don’t have to be alone again. At least not because of our dumbasses. I’m sorry,” he looked at Jason. “We’re sorry. You’re right.”

You let your stern look drop and look between the two of them. “Okay,” you conceded.

They’d apologized and you’d forgiven them, but things still felt off. You could partially feel the walls you’d steadily been chipping away at fully fortify around them once again, taunting you in their wake.

“Don’t take it the wrong way. We’re not used to letting people in,” Jason said. “There are some things you need to trust. Please just trust that it has to be like this.” 

The apology you could accept. Them going right back into keeping shit from you? Not so much. Regardless, you felt the need to keep the peace.

“Okay.” 

Dessert went off without a hitch, you mainly sticking to Damian’s side, talking about his latest shopping spree for Titus. You didn’t miss how their eyes followed every touch you left on Damian from across the table.

•

It’s not like you were exactly quiet or anything, but in large groups like this, you tended to hover in the shadows as an observer. Considering the last person you expected to get up and sing was Damian, you doubted you could get him up there for a duet, but damn, did you want to sing at least one song.

After watching Barbara kill at Macklemore, Tim dominate a song in perfect Japanese, then Dick downright murdering "Holding Out for a Hero," you were itching to get up there. Roy’s rendition of "Gold Digger" was nothing compared to his duet with Jason to “Colt 45.” 

Yes, you were still hesitant around them, but you couldn’t suppress your smile at their performance. Jason’s head nods to the beat, coupled with Roy’s obnoxious hand gestures to the lyrics, left even Damian cackling like an idiot. 

You couldn’t help but notice you hadn’t seen Stephanie around in forever and, even though you’d originally gotten off on the wrong foot, you were definitely missing her sass. Karaoke definitely seemed up her alley, so you wondered why she couldn't come.

Weird.

After Dick stole the mic for the fifteenth time of the night, he tried to wrestle it from Barbara’s grip when she snatched it away. Dick and Bab’s game of tug-of-war continued onto the makeshift stage, which forced Jason and Roy to evacuate the vicinity. 

It was weird because you swore you saw Jason and Roy hesitate about where to go as they left the stage. For once, you felt like you could read them and, for once, it seemed like they hadn’t noticed your edge above them. 

With all the couches being free and the one you were sitting on more than half occupied by Damian and yourself, you’re surprised when Roy’s feet gained confidence and headed in your direction. Jason followed skeptically behind him. He obviously didn’t want to push anything and ruin the progress you’d all made in the kitchen, but you showed no hostility. 

Honestly, you were tired of being at war with them. One weekend had been more than enough time apart, as much as you didn’t want to admit it. 

Roy fell into the seat next to you on the couch, nearly hitting you in the process. His added weight sent you falling into his side, causing his hands to go up in surrender. You quickly shuffled away to put more room between the two of you, but no matter how far you scooted, you were still tilting toward him. 

“We’re good. Right?” Roy tilted his head at you like a confused puppy. 

Jason stayed off to the side, pretending to watch Dick sing another rock ballad. In reality, you knew he was paying attention to your every word.

“Keep asking and my answer just might change,” Damian snickered at your response from beside you. 

“No, I just mean, like, we settled everything?” His head tilted more, a feat you didn’t think possible. “‘Cuz I can’t lie, princess, not talking to you’s been killing us.”

You nodded lightly. “Yeah, we’re good.”

It definitely felt nice to hear that the break had also impacted them. 

“Good.”

“I’m not playing that game with you,” you snorted. “So, since we’re all good, now I get to ask why you were shirtless.”

“Roy’s a whore.” Damian rolled his eyes. “Don’t waste a question on something as obvious as that.”

“Least take me out on a date before calling me those dirty names, darlin’.” 

Damian’s nose scrunched in disgust, electing to physically remove himself from the conversation to sabotage the sound system instead.

“Thanks for ditching me,” you called after his retreating form but were met with his middle finger. “So?” You looked back at Roy.

“Still thinking about me shirtless, beautiful?”

“My age still not an issue for tonight?” The redhead sputtered at your retort while Jason at least had the decency to look amused. 

“Whatever.” He bumped into you jokingly. “You singin’ or what?”

Damian was wrestling Dick while Babs filmed the whole thing and the mic had rolled onto the ground in front of you. 

“Well, there is one song I know.”

You stood up, picking up the microphone in the process and Dick and Babs immediately backed off. Damian scoffed at you but moved, too, nonetheless. You turned around and shook your head at their snickers and Dick’s wolf whistles. Hiding your smile, you waited anxiously for Dick to hit the lights and for Babs to start the song. 

Your eyes avoided everyone in the room as the opening died down and Justin Timberlake’s voice kicked in. The choreography you hadn’t realized you’d memorized came easily after. Dick, who Barbara had wrestled to the couch to prevent him from hijacking another performance, still managed to wriggle free to join your moves in unison just as the second chorus hit. 

The room got so loud when Alfred walked in on you and Dick doing the robot, leaving everyone else collectively to lose their shit. The older man merely closed the door, shaking his head before retreating back downstairs and letting Bruce know karaoke night was a success. 

What Alfred didn’t know (and what Dick would never admit while he was still in police academy) was that everyone was decently tipsy off the natties Roy had lugged in. 

The final chorus kicked in and by that point, everyone but Jason and Damian were on their feet, following along with Dick's and your choreography. By the time the song ended, you were all in a howling, panting heap on the floor.

Roy’s sweaty shirt was flung onto Dick’s disgusted face as he flopped back down next to you on the floor. 

“What is with you and this shirtless thing you’ve got going on?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know?”

“Yes,” you shifted your head to face him, flashing him a tipsy grin, “that’s why I keep asking, weirdo.”

“Yeah, I bet you do,” he teased, flicking his cap further down over his eyes, casting them into a shade of darkness. 

“Roy, what?” you snorted, raising your arm and letting it fall on his stomach. He rolled over on top of you in retaliation until his weight forced you to tap. He removed himself easily and your breathing finally regulated. 

Off to the side, you heard Damian call for you.

Roy pouted, “You leavin’ me all alone with Jay?”

“I’m sure you’ll survive," you said, paying him no mind. After all, you knew Roy was completely exaggerating his resistance. Damian reached his hand down toward you and hauled you upward. “Besides, I’ll see you guys tomorrow, anyway. I’m spending the night with Damian.”

Roy looked over at Jason and made grabby hands, only to be met by Jason’s middle finger. You sighed and reached your hand down to help him up. 

“Oh, princess. You sure know how to treat a gent.” Roy waggled his eyebrows at you obnoxiously. You were tempted to drop him right then and there, but the kind part in your heart won out, so you elected to pull him to his feet instead. 

Jason waited for the two of you with Damian at the door. 

“You sure you don’t want to go out with us?” Jason asked. He was leaning casually against the frame. You had to physically stop yourself from rolling your eyes at his angsty-ass behavior. 

You looked at Damian, who’d yet to take his eyes off you since your karaoke number. “Uh, where to?” you questioned.

“Just walking around downtown and shit.”

Damian’s eyes flickered with what you were beginning to think was jealousy. The last thing you wanted to do was upset him when he was the reason you were even here to forgive them in the first place.

“I’ll probably just stick around here with Dami,” you said, following behind as they made to leave. At the nickname, everyone's steps faltered except your own. “What?”

Ever since the argument, even though all was forgiven, you still viewed them differently and they obviously viewed you differently. Whether it was sexual and out of reach or platonic and all in your head, you didn’t know. What you did know was that Damian had always been there for you. 

You parted ways with Jason and Roy. Damian absolutely preened when you walked into his room with him instead of leaving with them.

You rolled your eyes; boys were so annoying. You knew you'd made the right choice, though.   

His hand rested against the small of your back as he led you to his balcony. 

“This is probably one of the only places in the city where you can actually see the stars,” he admitted as he nodded his head toward the sky. Your eyes followed his line of sight. The inky blackness radiated flecks of white stars as if they’d been splattered across its expanse like paint on a canvas. “There’s Ursa Major,” your eyes trailed to the end of his finger, “right next to Cassiopeia.” 

“I always loved that myth,” you sighed dreamily, thinking back to when you’d hoarded all the mythology books you could find with Bart at your last school. While you never really talked, he was always in the library for some reason, so it made sense why your paths always seemed to cross. 

Silence with you and Damian was never awkward, especially now with all the twinkling night sky to keep you entertained.

“You performed wonderfully,” he said out of nowhere.

His room overlooked the rose garden where you’d been just a few months prior. You thought back to the shaky ground you’d found yourself on with Jason in the library after he’d denounced the garden situation. From where you were standing, you could look down and see the very fountain that you’d wrestled in. You were quite literally above the situation.

You couldn’t tell if he was being facetious or not. “Shut up.”

“I’m serious,” he insisted. Damian was facing the gardens with both hands on the railing, but his eyes were on as if he thought you might disappear at any moment. “You make everything so beautiful.”

You couldn’t help the shock that caused your mouth to fall open. “Damian.”

He turned to face you now. “You make the simplest of things seem so magical. From the way you hold your paintbrush to the way you tuck your hair behind your ear when you’re anxious.” You hadn’t even realized you’d done that yourself. “The way your eyes glisten when you know an answer in class. It all goes back to the way you put yourself out there, not caring what anyone thinks of you,” he exhaled as if it physically pained him to get this off his chest. “You’re entirely beautiful.”

“Damian,” you said again, not quite believing what you were hearing. No one had ever written you poetry, let alone spoken such niceties to you, but Damian's words felt like a poem. Your insides felt completely warm.

“I adore you.” At this, he took your hands in his, searching your eyes for an answer you didn’t know if you had. 

Everything with Jason and Roy was so muddled and entirely a daydream if you were being honest. Damian was within reach. He was kind, always there for you. He understood your sass and offered it back tenfold. 

He was perfect.

Your stomach clenched and your eyebrows drew together in confusion.

If he was perfect, why were you so hesitant?

“You mean so much to me, Dami.”

While you’d kissed him before, this felt like your actual first kiss.

No emotional turmoil, no traumatic event. No screaming, no blood, just the crickets, wind and stars to keep you company. 

The rose gardens shrunk from view as your face slowly inched toward Damian’s. His hands slid along the railing until his right hand brushed against your left. He allowed his pinky to graze along your own before his smaller hand tried to cover yours.

It’d been months since you’d last done anything beyond the intention of friendly, but you weren’t dumb. You knew where this was heading.

His lips were perfectly smooth as they made chaste pressure against your own. His cheek came to rest against your warm one, causing you to tilt your head to meet his own until you were able to look up and meet his eyes.

You realized in amusement that he was waiting for you to make the next move. You nudged his head with your forehead until it tilted upward, allowing you to fully capture his lips with your own.

He removed his other hand from the railing to cup your cheek. Meanwhile, yours both moved to his chest to deepen the kiss. 

When you broke apart, you couldn’t help the yawn that escaped you.

“Sorry,” you apologized with a wince. You hadn’t been getting any sleep on your shitty mattress at home and the prospect of sleeping on Damian’s cloud had you excited in the sleepiest way possible.

Damian dismissed the action as he grabbed your hand, placing a delicate peck on top of it. Without having to say anything, he opened the door for you and stripped down to his boxers with a self-conscious second glance before hopping into his bed. 

He looked at you expectantly. 

You stripped into a baggy crop top and the shorts he'd kept since the last sleepover before joining him. When Damian attempted to flip your position so he could be the big spoon, you just tightened your grip around his midsection until he gave in, snuggling against your front with a slight huff.

Though your tired eyes wailed for you to succumb to sleep, one question rang out in your head, preventing it.

Why had you kissed him?
