Jello Cherry Cheesecake, Cucumber Sandwiches, Strawberries, Lemonade from A Reunion in the Dreaming by @tryan-a-bex
This is my first non-Dreamling fanfiction food post from The Sandman. It is a picnic scene in the Dreaming, with Rose, Jed, Unity, Lucienne, and Gault. I've never made cheesecake from a box before but it tastes really good and was so quick and easy to make! Here are a few lines from the fic!
“Ooh, cherry cheesecake!” Jed exclaimed. Rose had shared with Unity that Jello cheesecake from a box had been Jed’s favourite when he was little, and Unity had asked Lucienne for help replicating it in the Dreaming. It seemed to have turned out well, and Jed’s reaction was especially gratifying. Enthusiastically, they all settled down to catch up over an open-air meal.
"My manuscript is almost ready to go to the editor,” Rose shared excitedly. At least this was one deadline she wasn’t late for! She reached for a fresh strawberry in celebration.
“Wonderful!” Unity beamed at Jed’s accomplishment, and Rose glowed with how happy and settled he was becoming. As he dug into the cucumber sandwiches and sipped his lemonade, Rose turned to Unity.

Cucumber Sandwiches are one of my favorite things to make for parties and they disappear in minutes! I usually use butter in the filling but today I used cream cheese with chives and onion and it was delicious. Go check out the cute fic!

(review anon) Oh MAN, now I'm having emotional thoughts about Big Boss. Like maybe when you two just took a big step. Maybe you moved in or he just gave you a key to his place, after you'd done a few more intense sessions and decided you were in for the long run. He's tentative but hopeful that this could be the real thing, especially if his tastes haven't scared you off.
And then he comes home from a long, awful day expecting to just go through the motions and go to bed. He called you to let you know he wasn't up for anything, and didn't expect you to be there.
But you were. And you were making dinner. Something warm and familiar, maybe a recipe he liked or one of your own from home, but it smells good and you're plating it just as he comes in. You go to help him put his coat away, and plate your own food, and you just... have dinner. And you clean up, and when he insists on helping you take the time to draw a bath.
And as he goes to where the bath is waiting, he finds the house is clean, and you've already taken care of some things he was putting off, like dealing with the garbage or sorting the mail.
And this whole time he's just left... confused. Happy, but confused. And you're there, waiting for him by the bath, and he just has to ask - what is all this for? What happened?
"Well, you put so much into taking care of me. I want to take care of you, too."
And... Jed always knew you were the one for him. But it's this moment that he realizes that, in your mind, he is the one for you.
🥺🥺🥺
Listen ok not to deviate from Jed but I wanna do that for Ricky after he’s had a long day at work!!!
Ok ok back to Jed: he’d be so overwhelmed and wouldn’t know what to say. I would imagine Jed asks you to stay the night, or the reader decides to, but not for any rough sessions… just to sleep together. Actually sleep together, because it takes about as much trust to lower your defenses completely and sleep next to someone as it does to trust them with your body.
So you two share a bed, hold each other, and just sleep. And maybe this happens a few times, where you take care of Jed after a hard day, or even just to be kind. And maybe he eventually will wake up in the middle of the night, and see your slumbering form under his sheets, and the peaceful look on your face, and he’ll start to love himself, too, because he’s earned your love and trust.
And then he realizes: he’s safe, too.
