Six Sentence Sunday/WIP Wednesday (Science Fiction Double Feature - 😉)

Going to kill two birds with one stone. I've been tagged by a few people for both of these, and decided to do a double feature and answer both 😂 - hence the title of the post. Though it did make me think of my favorite version of said song.

So thanks: @forabeatofadrum, @annepi-blog, @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion and @kurtsascot for thinking of me and tagging me!

*****

Well, not surprisingly, I'm still working on If I Can Make Your Heart My Home. I'm so grateful for all of you folks who have been reading along. Thank you for your kudos and kind words . . . and some very passionate feelings about the story! I love all the feedback. 💖💖💖💖

So here's a little excerpt from an upcoming chapter:

Blaine leaned across the bar.  “Do you have any bottled water?’ He asked the bartender.  “For the orchestra?” The bartender nodded and reached behind the counter for a number of water bottles which he passed off to Blaine. Blaine nodded his thanks and turned to walk back to the waiting musicians when he inadvertently jostled another guest’s shoulder.  A number of the water bottles slipped from his arms onto the floor with a dull thud. “Oh, fuck. Sorry, mate. I didn’t see you there.” Blaine shook his head as he watched the guest place an empty champagne flute on the bar in order to bend down and pick up the remaining bottles on the floor. “My fault, really.  I wasn’t paying attention.” Blaine said in return.  The guest grinned and picked up the fallen soldiers.  ‘Here, let me help you out.”  He stood up and looked around the ballroom.  “Where to?” Blaine nodded his thanks.  “Just up to the orchestra.”  “I’m Adam, by the way.  Adam Crawford.” “Blaine.  Blaine Anderson.” The guest stopped in his tracks.  “Wait, Anderson?”   Blaine turned around, puzzled.  “Yes.” Adam stared at Blaine for a moment, a look of recognition dawning on his face.  “Aren’t you . .” Blaine sighed.  ‘Yes, Cooper Anderson’s brother.  Bradford Anderson’s son.  That Anderson family.” Adam shook his head.  “No, I was going to ask if you were the Anderson who played the cello at the MusiCares benefit a few months ago.  I loved that piece you ended the night with.  Bach, I think it was, right?” “I . . uh, yes.  Yes it was. That was me.” Blaine said, flustered. “I’m sorry, most folks aren’t able to pick up or remember that.  At least at these events - unless you play as well?” Adam chuckled as he shook his head.  “No, my talents lie far, far away from any sort of musical instrument.  I prefer the pen to the bow.” “Author?” Blaine asked as they continued towards the orchestra together. He started handing out the bottles to the waiting musicians as soon as they got there. “Well, working on that," Adam admitted.  “It’s a long term goal.  But for now, I’m a Lifestyle reporter for The Guardian.” He passed off the water bottles in his hands one by one to Blaine. “Ahhh," Blaine said.  “Working dinner then?” He smiled broadly as Adam nodded.  “Well, I hope you enjoy the music tonight.  I did all the arrangements myself and personally selected the musicians to play. If you need any information about the pieces or the orchestra, just let me know.” Adam threw Blaine a grateful look.  He pulled a business card out of his pocket and passed it over to the cellist.  “That would be great.  Here’s my contact info.  Now, sorry I have to run before Kurt starts thinking I abandoned him.  I promised him another round of champagne a few minutes ago. “K . .Kurt?”

Chapter 16

Mood music:

Recipies:

You'll find Victoria sponge, Tea sandwiches and Kurt's cookies in earlier chapter recipe wrap ups ( see links above)

“Besides, it's not all for me.  I share with my sister Jean.  By the way, she happens to enjoy those chouquettes you make,” Chef Sylvester tossed out as she continued peering at him over her glasses.

*****

Chapter 17

Mood music:

Recipes:

"Is he off to go take lunch with his boyfriend, then?" Santana asked sarcastically as she continued vigorously stirring the batch of Ceylon Chicken Curry soup she made for the luncheon.

****

Chapter 18

Mood music:

Soon, a bouncy salsa started playing.  Trent wiped his hands on his apron and pulled Santana into an impromptu dance.  She laughed and played along for a few seconds only.

Recipies:

"My pozole," Santana said, smacking him on the arm as she pulled away to return to the stove.  "Don't you dare make me ruin my Abuela's recipe.  Find another dance partner."

Santana's pozole, the recipe of which was handed down to her by her beloved abuela, was simmering on the stovetop.  That was to be partnered with her father's cochinita pibil.  Warm hand-made tortillas sat folded carefully in a towel, ready to be brought to the once dinner was about to be served.

Trent had a Caprese salad in the refrigerator, prepped and ready to serve.  He was putting the finishing touches on an impressive charcuterie board, abundant with tidbits that made even Kurt's mouth water.  Trent had also just taken out some herb parmesan biscuits out of the oven that he had baked.  Kurt had been particularly eying Trent's appetizer version of his parent's boxty recipe that was laid out on a silver serving tray.

As for dessert, that, of course, was left to Kurt.  His addition to the meal were the apple hand pies that were his mother's own recipe and his father's favorite dessert ( when he was allowed to have a treat from his usual heart-healthy diet), an assortment of cookies, as well as some mini dark chocolate tartlets sprinkled with sea salt. 

Think I got them all. Let me know if I missed any.

Sending all my love to you readers who have given this fic a chance. Wow can't believe we're already up to Chapter 18!
