You share your first kiss with Wriothesley somewhere on Fontaine’s hilltop near the Opera Epiclese, overlooking the clear waters as moonlight cascades across the verdant lands covered in patches of morning glory flowers.

You both were on your third date, laying on a picnic blanket with a basket of pastries from a popular cafe, freshly brewed tea thanks to his portable set, and rainbow roses he gifted you set aside. It was the only time you could have him all to yourself when the Fortress became unexpectedly busy with him dealing with Fatui spies and unearthing their true goals on marked territory. But it was quickly resolved and everything was back to running smoothly again.

Even when Wriothesley had too much going on his mind, his thoughts always returned to you and your welcomed visits to his office to steal him away from his work. A sliver of a smile rests on his lips when you exchange greetings, and he makes sure to offer you another cup of tea to keep you from leaving too soon. When you have gone back to the surface, he yearns to see you again and have you close to him—just as you are now.

He likes the feeling of your soft hand in his rough and calloused ones and the sweet sound of your voice, even as you tell him about the legend of the three moon sisters while gazing upon the radiant and timeless orb that's said to be a corpse. But Wriothesley was more interested in you than the sovereigns of the night sky and the tragic fates bestowed unto them. Though, he listened intently to your every word his eyes never once wavered from the opalescent glow filtering your beautiful face, memorizing every minute detail of your expressions and the moments leading up to it…

Then you both went quiet and you turned your head to look at him. You can feel his hand tighten around yours as he leans in impossibly close, his breath mingling with yours as he points out that you have something on the corner of your mouth—a crumb from the pear tarlet you nibbled on a while ago. “Here, let me…” He sweeps his thumb against your tender skin at first, then your heart skips a beat and heat spreads throughout your body when he fully presses his lips there.

When he draws back, he searches your face for anything that tells him he didn't scare you off even when the mutual interest was already made clear. Yet a shadow of doubt weighs in the back of his mind because deep down he was starting to fall for you, and he hopes what you might feel for him is real and true. And so, the night air became sweeter in the way your lips stretched into a smile that was warm and inviting, and he knew at that moment his world would shift to revolve around you. “How about a proper first kiss?”

He dips in again for another taste, embracing the softness of your lips and pulling you closer until it is just the two of you, your ever-growing love, and the heavens as your witness.

꒰ note ᰔ there was nothing there, he just wanted to kiss you. ꒱

All I Ask Of You

Disc: Don't own LOTR, HOTD & Baldur's Gate

Minors D/N/I and D/N/E.

Chapter 1: Sparring

As your cafè grew, you had to hire a co-barista and two waiters. You had a tea machine, espresso machine, americano machine, lattè machine, cappucino and hot chocolate machine. You had vanilla ice cream freezer and strawberry ice cream freezer, a fridge full of milk, ice fridge freezer, grape juice fridge. On all the counters were the machines, in the corner of the cafè were countertops with cupcake holders, cheesecake holders, tarlet holders, raspberry cake holders and a muffin holders, you had cream, vanilla syrup, cholocate syrup, caramel syrup, you also had a spice rack full of different spices . Your latest drink a raf and to expand your cafè, along with paying taxes for the tax man and your soon-to-be co-workers, you felt the pressure, but kept it cool and aloof at the same time. Inside you were screaming and your necklace vibrated against your neck trying to calm you down.

A maester came in and he looked exhuasted.

"Welcome, first time here?" You asked kindly.

"Yes...what is this place?" The maester asked.

"My Cafè, a none-alcholic restuarant. Here is the Menu. My name is Y/A/N." You said as he sat at the bar nearest the barista's station with the kindest, charismatic smile he saw. He felt himself blush at such a warm, friendly smile, that might, just might lit a fire in the pervy Prince Aegon's heart of King Viserys and Queen Alicent.

He looked at the menu and saw something weird, it was in the very early mornings.

"Can I have this croissant and tea?" He asked.

You agreed and gave him the prices.

And so this maester became a regular of yours. One day he looked troubled and you asked him if you could help, he didn't agree at first, then you use your charismatic smile of yours and he agreed. You checked the list of medical treatment on King Viserys' illness.

"Stay here until it's my closing time. I have a solution." You said.

Then he saw how, you handled pressure and how you sped throughout the day, when it was a quiet time in lunch break, you grabbed a croissant with cream, munched on it as you walked and go to the training grounds.

The three Princes were training on dummies, you even though you were tall for an elfling, whenever you wear a man's clothes, people thought you to be a very pretty boy. So you moved tge dummies and with a real sword you spared against them, smiling as it brought back memmories. The boys had a hard time in touching your skin, how you fought with graceful movements as if it's a hidden dance you invited them to participate.

"If either the three of you were in a battle against an Orc...dead." Y/E/N said, no one saw Y/E/N face, for Y/E/N wore a helmet on. Y/E/N sword pointing at the eldest of 12 summers old, long silver hair and lilac eyes, at his throat.

Y/E/N sparred against the other two princes, your body was behind the second silver haired prince with a high ponytail, while the rest hang loose, you stole the youngest's sword without him even realizing it, body tightly, your swords at his throat and stomach, "If King's Landing were under a siege from a drow raiding party, you would be dead. Then again that race can fight best at nightlife while everyone slumbers." He heard it a very soft musical feminine voice whispering to him, she released him and threw the sword to the youngest of duo he was 8 summers old. You smiled a very sad smile to the young boy.

Shaking your head, you spared against the eight summers old dark brown haired boy with chocolate brown eyes, you point out his flaws and how to improve their swordsmanship. When you hear footsteps long before the trio princes saw The Kings Guard Ser Criston Cole.

"Ser Cole I believe is your surname?" Y/E/N asked.

"Yes?" He answered with a kind smile.

"Your training the boys terrible, if Orcs and even a drow raid party will besiege King's Landing...more dead bodies would fill King's Landing." You said, before he could counter you, the Maester reminded you lunch break was over. You ran and disappeared before the three Princelings could follow you.

They each listen intently to your explanations of each creation, even Mammon shutting up long enough to hear you out (thanks to a sharp poke in the ribs by Satan’s elbow).

They sample one at a time, each making little sounds of happiness and content as they take their bites.

Lucifer’s the first to judge, dabbing at the corner of his lips with the hanker chief he keeps on him. Excellent. He nods and gives you a look that lets you know he means it. Although, he’s never been one to be generous with his praise, so he leaves it at that and continues on. Do you think you could recreate them in smaller portions? Like bite-sized, or more hors d’ouerve-like?

I nod my head and try to contain how excited I am that they all seem to enjoy what I made. Of course! Mini cakes and tarlets are always do-able and I have made little paczki bombs before. They weren’t the easiest to make but, he doesn’t need to know that.

Strawberry Cheesecake Tart

(Recipe Contributed by Sundari Vijay, Food Stylist cum Photographer)

Ingredients to make the tart shells 

11/2 cups All purpose flour

1/2 cup Unsalted butter (1 stick)

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 cup Sugar

1 large Egg yolk 

2 to 4 tbsp Chilled water

Instructions

Ensure the butter is chilled - cut into cubes.

Measure the flour, salt, and sugar in a metal bowl.

Leaving the bowl in the fridge for an hour will help keep the dough cold.

Use a fork, pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour.

When using your fingertips be gentle, squishing the butter, flattening them cubes in the flour.

The mixture starts with larger crumbles, and as you continue, the crumbs become smaller.

Continue until you have a crumbly mixture similar to coarse breadcrumbs.

Add the egg yolk and try to incorporate as much as you can.

Lastly, add 2 tbsp chilled water bringing the crumbs together.

Add more water only if needed to bring the dough into a ball.

Gather all the crumbs into a ball.

Wrap in cling or plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 to 30 minutes until firm enough to roll.

Take small golf size amount of chilled dough. Roll it out into a small disc.

Place it in the mini tart pan and gently press the dough with your finger to the sides and bottom. Make sure you have a thin not thick crust.

Pull away the excess with your fingers tips. 

Prick the pastry all over with the tines of a fork or cocktail stick to prevent the dough from puffing.

Place the tartlet in the fridge while you preheat the oven. 

Preheat the oven to 200C. Prick the pastry all over with the tines of a fork or cocktail stick to prevent the dough from puffing.

Bake in the preheated oven - the 3-inch mini tarts take 10 to 12 minutes while the 5 -inch mini tarts take about 12 to 14 minutes.

Ingredients for tart filling

350 gms softened cream cheese

1⁄2cup sour cream

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

12 Tart shells

2⁄3 cup Sugar & Spice Strawberry Blush jam

​

Instructions

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and lemon peel in small bowl and beat until smooth.

Spread evenly into tart shells.

Spread the

Sugar & Spice Strawberry Blush jam

pressing into cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate about 4 hours.Before serving, top it with sliced strawberries or drizzle chocolate syrup for garnish

A shiver ran down Snow's spine. And then everywhere was tingling.

Don't do anything stupid, she told herself as the room swam in front of her. She felt like she was floating, one breath away from falling into a kiss. What was the danger of it? With her body bathed in cheap tequila and a night of laughing, she could barely remember. If Gem could lean down to take the tart, surely he could lean down to take a kiss from her lips...

Don't do anything stupid. There was the Sober Snow, very small and silly in the back of his mind. What did she know though? Gem had touched her cheek once. Very quickly, with his knuckles. She thought about it all the time.

You'll regret it.

Or maybe it would be better than the strawberry tarlet.

She blinked slowly. Gem had asked her something. She knew, because she was watching his lips. What did he say?

"Oh. I helped," she said. Was she blushing right now? She felt hot all over. "I made the crust."

melisandre's   lips   curled   into   a   soft   smile   as   she   approched,    her   humming   a   gentle   accompaniment   to   the   whisper   of   the   river   and   the   distant   laughter   of   highgarden’s   festivities.   "oh,    lady   rhea,   forgive   me," she   murmured,   her   voice   as   light   and   sweet   as   the   melody   she   carried.    " i   did   not   mean   for   the   intrusion   of   your   solitude.   i   assumed   all   would   still   be   partaking   in   merriment.   and   the   sun   was   bright   and   warm   so   i   slipped   away   for   a   moment   to   enjoy   it. "    her   eyes   twinkled   with   a   playful   warmth   as   she   set   down   her   own   basket,   a   little   further   away   from   rhea's.   for   the   lady   of   sunglass   had   a   melody   rooted   in   her   mind,   she   needed   a   moment   to   get   it   down   before   it   slipped   away.   as   it   was   often   to   do   when   distracted   with   dance   and   festivities    surrounding   her. 

"perhaps   the   maiden   have   led   me   here,   to   share   in   this   serene   afternoon   with   you , "     she   continued,   reaching   into   her   basket   to   produce   a   small,   delicate   pastry   wrapped   in   cloth.  "one   of   the   kind   folk   gifted   these   to   me,   it   would   be   a   shame   to   enjoy   such   delights   alone. "    she   offered   the   treat   with   a   graceful   gesture,   her   fingers   brushing   against   the   cool,   green   blades   of   grass.    " please,   take   one.   i   couldn't   possibly   consume   them   all   myself.   amidst   all   the   gaiety   i've   scarcely   had   a   moment   to   eat   a   thing.

open starter with: rhea and anyone! location: outside the walls, along the river Mander time: mid-afternoon

The rumble of music and laughter echoed in the distance as the current inhabitants of Highgarden came together for another afternoon of revelry, but the laughter was faint next to the rush of the river, and no music could match the beauty of the birdsong in the trees. Rhea had snuck away from the festivities, blanket and basket in hand, and was lying in the long grass, the sun warming and enveloping her in a mid-afternoon bliss. The open basket held a partially drunk bottle of wine, an abundance of grapes that Rhea absent-mindedly picked at, and an old book that she’d taken to press flowers in, rather than read. It had been so long since she’d taken a moment to be honestly, truly alone, so the sound of approaching footsteps in the grass was unwelcome. Rhea’s hand itched toward the dagger on her hip, but instead she propped herself up into a seated position, looking over her shoulder at the intruder, and deeming them not a threat- for now. “I can’t imagine why you saw me alone, perfectly happy, enjoying the afternoon, and still felt you should approach.” Her words came out colder, harsher than she’d intended, but it was impossible to take them back now. “Well,  you’re already here. You may as well sit if you’re going to stay.”
