Getting Things Knocked Off The List

crossover_chickSpecifically, two things:
a) I have an![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ink_sec_sims update for you: The Leeches Next up is the Turrets, and we'll be done with another cycle. :)
b) I also have a 25 Foods prompt for you! Funny, I've been reading BTTF fic most of the afternoon, yet it's the Victor/Alice prompt I give to you. Still, I hope you get a laugh out of it:
21. Writer’s Choice: Caramel
“Aunt Susan! Uncle Charles!”
“Alice!” Susan gave her niece a hug. “It’s good to see you.” Turning to Alice’s husband, she enveloped him in a hug as well. “And you as well, Victor. How are you?”
Victor returned the hug, but was oddly silent. Susan frowned. “Victor?”
Victor pulled away with a blush and pointed to his mouth. “He’s not capable of speech right now,” Alice explained, looking amused.
“Why? Are you ill?” Susan asked, though even as she said it she dismissed the possibility. Her niece wouldn’t consider it funny if Victor was sick. “What happened?”
Whatever explanation there was was cut off by the arrival of Chester, Lucy, and Lorina. “Great-Aunt Susan! Great-Uncle Charles!”
“Hello!” Charles said boisterously, picking up Lorina while Susan hugged Chester and Lucy. “How are you all?”
“We made caramels today!” Lorina announced.
“Did you now?”
“Yup!”
“Daddy was the official taste tester,” Chester added with a grin.
“Daddy?” Susan looked back up at Victor. His increased blush and awkward smile was all the answer she needed. She giggled. “Ooh, I see. . . .”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Susan,” Alice said with a laugh. “We do expect his teeth to unstick sometime this century.”
-TTV: *looks torn between amusement and 'why am I always the buttmonkey?'*-
*giggle* I'm sorry, it's the first thing that popped into my mind! This is one of the "free spaces" on the original table -- I filled those up with favorite prompts from the other tables they had available. I don't know why I picked caramel -- probably because of Victor's love of sweets.
-VuM: His sweet tooth is getting to legendary status around here.-
-TTV: My sweet tooth? I think you DG's sweet tooth.-
-VM: Hey, we've seen you pack away the desserts too.-
:p Anyway, this is a "Solicitor's Ward"-verse fic, though you probably guessed that already from Chester, Lucy, and Lorina. Susan and Charles are in the habit of making little trips to Wonderland when they're able to visit their niece and her husband. This is just a bit of family-based fluff.
-D: Wait -- shouldn't Alice have been there to help them through the mirror or down the rabbit hole?-
Well, Cheshire or one of the other Wonderlanders could also lend a hand in that regard, so let's say one of them did it for this visit. Anyway, not much to say, besides that Victor's teeth DO get unstuck later that day. (Hot tea helps with a lot.)
-TD: You like doing goofy things to him, don't you?-
It's a sign of love!
-TTV: Given everything you've done to Doc, I can actually believe that.-
. . .Not sure how to take that.
-OD: If you're all juiced up on BTTF, why the holdup on the Drabbles88s? I can understand not being quite into MY verse. . . .-
I'm having trouble fitting them to prompts. I seem to have left all the most awkward ones for last. *pokes at them* But I'll figure out something. And I will get back to "There's Always Tomorrow" -- I don't intend to leave the last part of the trilogy unwritten forever. Maybe I should get on that now, in fact. . . .
