crossover_chickWe have gotten into the Christmas spirit around here! Sort of. You see, Mom and I decided to give making gingerbread houses another go. I'd found a recipe/tutorial for a smaller variation, which I sent to her, and we gave it a whack. Results?
Yeah, we're not the best at this. XD We were going to have four houses, but the pieces kept breaking, and the icing wouldn't stick, and one started to collapse as we tried to decorate the roof, so we ended up just going with the two best. That pile of "firewood" there are some of the leftover pieces Mom cut up. The snow is SnoCaps and coconut with a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar, and the lights/wreaths are mini M&Ms. I think we ever get it into our heads to try this again, we're just going to buy a kit. The "homemade" way doesn't work out well for us.
Thanks to that and general "red curse" malaise, it hasn't been the most productive of Saturdays. Nevertheless, I have a drabble for you:
Day Twenty-One:
“I got another one!”
“No fair! You have longer arms than me!”
“Don’t fight,” Alice counseled. “The night’s young, and there’s plenty lurking in low places.”
“He’s cheating,” Lucy insisted, pouting.
“I am not!” Chester protested, eyes narrowed.
“The more you argue, the more of them get away,” Victor said. “Come on, back to the hunt!”
This spurred the children to action again. Alice chuckled as she watched them seek the tiny blue flames. “This has to be the most unusual game of snapdragon ever.”
“Yes, well, it’s probably still safer than letting them throw burning raisins in their mouths.”
Victorian English: Obsessed with setting their Christmas food on fire.
-TTV: *shakehead while the Martys laugh and nod*-
Anyway, another blast from the past today -- the presence of a "Lucy" among Victor and Alice's children means this is the Solicitor's Ward verse! Remember when that was going to be a thing? I had all these plans, wrote all that short fic revolving around it -- and then "Alice: Madness Returns" came out and suddenly up loomed the Forgotten Vows Verse? Ah, memories. . . I figured I could bring it back for a little Christmas cheer, though. The "snapdragons" from Through The Looking-Glass have always amazed and stunned me -- burning raisins. Really. And you're supposed to put them in your MOUTH. O.o But they make interesting little creatures, and I figured hunting them would make for an excellent Wonderland holiday tradition. So long as the kids don't spend all their time fighting. :p
-TTV: Given that a certain RP pairing of yours kind of inspired this verse, the least you could do in its memory is get them engaged already.-
I know, I know. . . And a certain other Victor on tumblr needs a wedding. Maybe I can finagle things around soon. . . When I'm feeling less knocked-down from Aunt Flo. Bleeeh.
And with that, I should go ahead and get something up on my personal tumblr before dinner. Night!
