For whatever fandom exists for the Ashtown Burials or 100 Cupboards series, I've made a Discord. Feel free to join!

Not that I have any idea how to run a Discord. That's my disclaimer. I have no clue what I'm doing.

And if you can think of a better name for the server than the one I came up with, please do suggest one. ;)

The chestnuts are getting fucking roasted either way

Chestnuts

Chestnuts are among my favorite Christmas fare. Nat King Cole's song served as the catalyst for everything, and you've undoubtedly heard the opening line of "The Christmas Song"—"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire." I was curious to give this nut a taste, so I did. Since then, I've become addicted. What say you, too? Would you mind sharing your preferred holiday snack?

Chestnuts are my favorite ingredient to use in the fall, especially for the holidays. I always find that they are meaty, hearty and have a mysterious refinement when cooked or roasted over sea salt.

I don't remember that much of my childhood, but today I suddenly remembered that one time when I started a Tolkien inspired war at my school when I was 7-8 years old.

The war lasted for a week, the entire elementary and middle school joined. We had different armies, all inspired by different characters (I was in the Mickey Mouse army, we had a "general" who was an older boy who would wear a Mickey Mouse hat on the "battlefield", I was his right hand man lmao). We fought using sticks and by throwing chestnuts which we collected in great hordes, the army who stole all the chestnuts from the opposing armies won.

Then the teachers learned of it and they were horrified. They rushed to break it up and got hit with our chestnut artillery in the process. I don't remember how it ended, just that we were sad about it and we had to talk to therapists (???) afterwards.

Idk why I was like that

Day 5: Acorn, Chestnut, Pine Cone

Length: 526 words

Cws/Tws: None

Charlie:

“Charlie, don’t eat that,” his father nonchalantly says, and he begrudgingly drops the acorn. He doesn’t exactly feel caught in the act, since he wasn’t doing anything bad, but he glances over at Merlin nonetheless. Bright blue and orange eyes don’t meet his gaze, still reading the book that was brought. How had Merlin known what he was doing without looking? “How did you know what I was doing?” He asks after Merlin still doesn’t meet his eyes. A moment later, he does, showing his lopsided smile. “Sweetheart, I know you,” he replies, and that doesn’t answer his question. He puts it aside, wondering if he’ll get it answered eventually. For now, maybe… “Could I try a chestnut?” Merlin pauses, thinking. “I… think that should be fine? They’re not poisonous, as far as I know.” “Poisonous?” He murmurs, confused. His father doesn’t hear him, already reburied in his book. But he trusts Merlin, always will, so he sniffs it (it doesn’t have a smell, really) before picking it up in his mouth. He regrets biting down immediately. It’s bitter and crunchy and horrible, so he spits it out. Merlin looks up when he makes a disgusted noise. “What happened?” His father asks gently, and he pads over to him, burrowing under his arm and huffing. He’s not sulking. Dragons don’t sulk. Probably. “It tasted awful,” he finally mutters. Merlin hums sympathetically, beginning to gently stroke his head, and he leans into the touch, purring. He only wishes he had something to wash the taste away. “You would’ve regretted the acorn more,” Merlin murmurs after he relaxes. He doesn’t bother to open his eyes, since Merlin knows he’s still listening. “Acorns are poisonous to humans, and sure, you might be able to eat them, but I didn’t want to risk it.” He makes a noise of acknowledgment, opening his eyes to look for something else to eat. …The pinecones under the oak tree might be good? Anything would be better than a chestnut, really. He wriggles out from Merlin’s hold and walks over, sniffing one; they don’t really have a smell either. Merlin hasn’t said anything about them being poisonous even though he’s watching him, which he’ll take as a good sign. He only hopes they taste better. Piney is the only way he can describe it, but it’s far better than the chestnut. “How does it taste?” Merlin asks as he comes back over, chewing on it. His curiosity’s been sated, and he doesn’t want to try anything else. “…Piney,” he answers after swallowing, because that’s still the best description he can think of. He snuggles back into his father, suddenly craving some bread. Maybe he can have some when they head back home. “Are you still hungry?” He nods. “I can wait until we get back home, though.” “Are you hungry for anything in particular?” Merlin asks, even though it seems like he already knows. “Bread,” he answers immediately, and he wishes his father hadn’t asked or that they’ll head home soon, because he wants some more than ever. But then Merlin promptly conjures a loaf, giggling at the joy on his face.
