@carnelianmeluha made the ziti from my Dreaming story A Hundred Years, Then. This is amazing 😍 I get so hungry looking at this!!!
Baked Ziti from A Hundred Years, Then by @nuttersinc
I read this fic on my flight and added it to my list because it had a lot of food mentions. I was originally supposed to make three dishes from it today, Baked Ziti, Leek Soup, and Eton Mess. But I've been low energy and mood since I got back and my grocery delivery had one key ingredient missing, so I chose to make only one main dish, Baked Ziti.
It's a cheesy pasta casserole and very easy to put together, great for days when brain doesn't want to brain. I used Italian sausage and cheeses like provolone, mozzarella, and gouda. I was out of parmesan my beloved, so I skipped it, but you should add it if you want a nuttier taste.
Now for the fic ~~
There's not a lot of description about the recipe for Baked Ziti itself but the scene starts with details about Butter Chicken. As I've already made butter chicken a few times, I skipped it, but I'll add some lines about other food. It's a gorgeous fic with alternative endings for each meeting between Hob and Dream. The food scene happens in chapter 6 after Dream is rescued by Hob and Johanna and he enters Hob's dreams, where he is cooking.
---------
Hob is dreaming of standing in his kitchen, raiding his fridge, when Dream steps into his dreams.
“Are you hungry?” he asks, tilting his head and taking in the way Dream is standing in the middle of his kitchen with his hands thrust into the pockets of his coat. “You look hungry.”
When Dream nods, because yes, he is, he’s in fact ravenous.
[Hob here offers multiple foods to Dream who is so hungry he eats everything.]
Hob opens the oven and takes out a steaming lamb stew with dried plums and a baked ziti.
Dream settles himself at the kitchen island on a high chair- he could conjure a more comfortable arrangement, but this is Hob’s dream and he doesn’t want to interfere, guessing that the impromptu casualness of the midnight feast has a hidden layer of meaning for Hob. He demolishes the bowl of mediaeval leek soup and the Moroccan lamb stew and the ziti... Still, the food keeps on coming and the empty plates pile around them.
-------
The story is gorgeous and I hope you give it a read. I plan to make the other recipes too, but for today this is all I can do. *crawling back to bed*

Not just you, Charlie. We're all going to collectively melt. Sexy geek power. Perfectly cast.

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

That's because he's a bitchy cunt.
It's very Laurent of Vere from Captive Prince of him.
My favorite thing about the show was how much pull Edwin had everyone wanted him BAD

"Damen’s eyes fixed on him, and looked nowhere else; his breathing was still noticeable, and his pulse rapid, but anger produced all the same effects."
Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat
Them staring tensely at each other is my favorite thing to draw, but it's also super hard to get it right....
Probably the last one for a few weeks, because i'm waiting for my friend to come back from vacation so we can dive into the 2nd and 3rd book.
(I love love love the slow burn, but i also want to get to the kissy bits !)

"Hello, lover."
I made the mistake with this one to change the lighting half way through the painting which always messes with the values and colors, but oh well. Sometimes a painting doesn't go the way you want to and then you got to let it go. But I still like the overall comp and all that, so you get to see it, haha. Maybe I manage to be a bit clearer in terms of values with that extra painting that I have planned for this scene, because this scene is just too good to only get one.

Dark Rise Quotes Part Two
More from the Cells (forgot those earlier)
I love how James is sprawled out here and how he sexually taunts him, knowing fully well they both enjoyed Will being control. It's echoed in the next collar scene...
The Collar
Just more Will being shivery with the thought of James belonging to him. I love Will's sure, sparse commands and how James follows them without protest immediately.
In the Inn
This is really just a random selection and not in order. This scene is so good
So many good things here. He wanted to tell James to run... 🤯 And James talking about his inevitable surrender.
James feeling Will up here with his ghost touch... Like, he really walked in there and felt Will up without asking if it was okay or not. James is so needy in this entire scene.
And Will being so smug and possessive about James and James's power. Once again with the sparse, sure commands... 🔥
The best thing here is James's description of Sarcean. A bright flame.
And then he says he lived a half life until he met Will (this is me frothing at the mouth, btw... 😏🫠)
Uff... James... This hurts so much...
This echoes something he says in book two: I want to be yours, not his, and he falls into the same trap...
Will's sure, confident, so fucking smug "of course you are." had me screaming into my pillow....
Knowing it only gets worse/better between them is insane....
Should I continue with the horny shit they say in Dark Heir? I might need 5 posts or more for that!

Dark Rise Quotes - basically James and Will being horny as fuck
I'm having some time on a train ride and am thinking about them, so here's my collection of outrageously horny scenes in Dark Rise...
First meeting
(Rereading this after Dark Rise, holy fuck. I love it so much....and Will's moment of recognition. So good.)
And here it is... I will find you... Seriously wants me make to scream like an idiot
Second Meeting, James's capture
Love the antagonism in this, and once again, Will is noting how beautiful James is, his heart going you you you like the crazily obsessed person he is. Epic shit.
In the Stewards' Hall
(his face like a sigh... Dude Will, you got it so bad, but what a lovely description. Cue the pornographic horn stabbing, which is so loaded with sexual metaphors, it's ridiculous... )
Afterwards in the Cells
I love James taunting him... What a sexy bitch...
Not horny, but stupidly romantic in a sinister kind of way. Reeks of James's satisfaction to be Sarcean's.
Bad screencap here, but once more, James is taunting him, asking if Will enjoyed having control over him... At this point you can tell it's a theme.
James and the collar
Will and the temptation...
... And James calling him out on it.
(... I need to do a follow up post, too many pics... )

Why is Merlin trending?
Are we doing the collective thinking about our favourite wizard again?
How do we do that? It's been almost twelve years since this show ended.... 😂
