April 2, 2023: The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On, Franny Choi

The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On Franny Choi Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of boats: boats of prisoners, boats cracking under sky-iron, boats making corpses bloom like algae on the shore. Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of the bombed mosque. There was the apocalypse of the taxi driver warped by flame. There was the apocalypse of the leaving, and the having left— of my mother unsticking herself from her mother’s grave as the plane barreled down the runway. Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of planes. There was the apocalypse of pipelines legislating their way through sacred water, and the apocalypse of the dogs. Before which was the apocalypse of the dogs and the hoses. Before which, the apocalypse of dogs and slave catchers whose faces glowed by lantern-light. Before the apocalypse, the apocalypse of bees. The apocalypse of  buses. Border fence apocalypse. Coat hanger apocalypse. Apocalypse in the textbooks’ selective silences. There was the apocalypse of the settlement and the soda machine; the apocalypse of the settlement and the jars of scalps; there was the bedlam of the cannery; the radioactive rain; the chairless martyr demanding a name. I was born from an apocalypse and have come to tell you what I know—which is that the apocalypse began when Columbus praised God and lowered his anchor. It began when a continent was drawn into cutlets. It began when Kublai Khan told Marco, Begin at the beginning. By the time the apocalypse began, the world had already ended. It ended every day for a century or two. It ended, and another ending world spun in its place. It ended, and we woke up and ordered Greek coffees, drew the hot liquid through our teeth, as everywhere, the apocalypse rumbled, the apocalypse remembered, our dear, beloved apocalypse—it drifted slowly from the trees all around us, so loud we stopped hearing it.

…a course of Edwardian dinners might well prove a sore trial today. Although Colonel Newnham-Davis consistently pleaded for more varied menus and shorter meals, this did not prevent him from ordering and eating, with evident enjoyment and approval, what seems today a perfectly astounding meal. On this occasion, his uncle, the peppery old Nabob, was bidden to dine at the Cecil Hotel, in order that it might be proved to him that a respectable curry could be had outside the portals of the East India Club.

This is the menu as recorded by the Colonel and solemnly consumed down to the last friandise:

Hors-d'ouvre varies

Consommé Sarah Bernhardt

Filet de sole a la garbure

Côtes en chevreuil: Sauce poivrade

Haricot verts à la Villars

Pommes Cecil

Mousse de foie gras et Jambon au champagne

Curry à l'indienne Bombay duck, etc. etc.

Asperges

Bombes à la Cecil

Petites friandises choisies

By the time they reached the curry, which was accompanied by a whole battery of poppadoms, chutneys, and relishes, it was hardly surprising that the Nabob’s resistance had almost given out. He was only able to murmur, “Good, decidedly. I don’t say as good as we get it at the Club” - there was still a spark of spirit left in him - “but decidedly good.”

It should be added that the dinner, with champagne, liqueurs, and cigarettes, cost £2.8s.6d., and that the bombe à la Cecil appeared with an electrically illuminated ice windmill as a background.

The closing to Elizabeth David’s “A Gourmet in Edwardian London”

For illuminatory purposes, that £2.8s.6d. (1900 currency value) is the equivalent to £189.57, according to the UK National Archives currency converter, which amounts to $250.22.

Consommé Sarah Bernhardt is a chicken consomme or soup thickened with tapioca, garnished with chicken quenelles, and flavored with crayfish butter, sliced beef marrow, asparagus tips, and julienned truffle

Filet de sole a la garbure is filet of sole (shocking I know) served with a French ham and cabbage/vegetable stew

Côtes en chevreuil: Sauce poivrade is basically venison (or roe deer) cutlets in a pepper sauce.

Haricot verts à la Villars is chopped green beans dipped in egg and floured and fried in clairifed butter and sprinkled with parsley

Pommes Cecil is some sort of potato dish created by and served at the Cecil Hotel (which no longer exists)

Mouse de foie gras et Jambon au champagne are basically fancy pates

Asperges is asparagus 

Bombes à la Cecil is ice cream molded into a cannonball or bomb shape and made fancy

Petites friandises choisies are small little cakes or treats to close a meal

OKAY I CLICKED ASK INSTEAD OF MESSAGE BUT IM TOO EXCITED TO CHABGE THAT BUT OH MY GOD WHEN YOU REBLOGGED THAT POST ABOUT LOVE BEING A CHICKEN CUTLET OR SOMETHING AND MENTIONED MACNCHEESE??? SO TRUE

thinking about the fact that the only meal david can make without fucking it up is macaroni and cheese (as you know)

thinking about how maybe it wasnt always, maybe he just listened when seftan offhandedly mentioned mac and cheese being his comfort food growing up back when they first started dating, and so david asked his friends to help him learn how to make it

thinking about david spending like, a solid month making mac and cheese in the shitty little kitchen out on site or at his friends houses until he finally got it right and his friends being so excited for him

thinking about seftan having a bad day- maybe its before he found nancy, maybe his visions are bad or he has a headache or maybe its just a Day and everythings awful and he cant be bothered cooking so david says he'll make something and seftan just loves him so much he cant refuse, no matter how awful davids cooking is

and then. david brings him a bowl of gooey cheesey pasta-y goodness, and maybe its a little burned or the pasta is undercooked but god its. perfect. its edible and davids so pleased with himself when he tells seftan that hes been practicing, that mac and cheese is really the only thing he can make but that he thinks thats okay bc at least he can make it when seftan needs it

thinking about that being the day that seftan says "marry me?" and he doesnt have a plan or a ring but what he does have is the proof that david loves him, and it's burning his hands

(capt-snoozles)

THEO MY HEART

thinking about how just knowing that david did this for him fills seftan's heart with absolute love for this man (correct me if i'm wrong but i get the sense this is NOT something seftan is used to from others). how he knew david loved him but this is like...david loves him, y'know?

what if david spends all that time perfecting the mac and cheese and then later tries some altered version of the dish and seftan is like "i still like the original best" and so david eventually just stops trying to mess with the perfection he's already created. the original is seftan's favorite not because it's objectively the best, but because it's the taste that reminds him of david the most, it's sentimental and the flavor is as much about the memory as it is about the fact that david's mac and cheese is actually good. whenever he eats someone else's mac and cheese, he's glad it's not like david's, he's glad there's a distinct difference between david's and the rest of the world's mac and cheese, and it's not even because david puts in special ingredients.

david's mac and cheese is the definition of "perfecting the basics." he's also probably destroyed the kitchen trying to make an altered/fancy mac and cheese before and seftan was just like please don't ever do that again (affectionate). anyway thank you for these thoughts theo.

OH also how tired do you think david's friends were of eating mac and cheese before he got it right and gave it to seftan, like i do not think that month of making mac and cheese was like a once a week meal.

Hermes: last text you sent

Eros: describe your crush

Hermes : "Because he used mobius salad to prove his apocalypses theory 😂😂😂"

It was about a badge i saw on redbubble (i'm currently obsessed by redbubble badges) saying ''love is a dagger salad is an apocalypse '' and my friend didn't get the last part

Eros : when i read eros my mind went like ''I'm a pork cutlet bowl fatale that enthralls men'' 😭😂😂 if you have the référence you have it 😌😆

More serieously i.....don't think i have a real crush on someone real right now (i'm kinda confused tbh in a ''am i arospec or not'' identity crisis currently ) so unless you were asking for a description of katie mcgrath or damiano david or of my dozen of fictional crushes well i don't have a correct answer sorry 🙃

[softdavidrose]

What are your fav schitts creek fan fics?

ohhhhh boy do i have a ton to rec, this is gonna be a long list

before we start, let me just say that these are gonna be a different variety of ratings and aus (and word counts), so please read the tags before starting any of them

all of these are david x patrick with a couple of exceptions which i will ofc mention. also these are mostly from may/april and back, because i haven’t had a chance to read a ton of fics lately so you’re not gonna find new-ish fics here!

last but not least, i have probably forgotten a LOT of fics that i loved, if that’s the case i will definitely add more.

thank you to all the writers in the fandom, even if your fic is not on here just know that i love and appreciate you immensely!!!!! for any other fic here’s my fic rec tag.

in no particular order:

time and time again by falconeggs, i know i said in no particular order but this is 10000% my favorite. it is a soulmates/reincarnation au and i just love it so so much and it’s perfect in every way

also by falconeggs: nobody gets left behind, an au where david has a son and i would literally die for this au; bright lights verse aka celebrity au

a bunch by wardo_wedidit, but honestly read all of them: you’ve got me feeling emotions (deeper than i’ve ever dreamed of): a good ol’ fake relationship, the empath verse, like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass: wedding aus for each chapter, the childhood best friends is ESPECIALLY excellent

undergrads by fanfic_or_bust, a slowburn college au that i am OBSESSED WITHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, do keep in mind that it is currently a wip

anything by @hullomoon and i may be biased but i’m gonna link the ones where she turned my nonsensical thoughts into perfection: love is a wild thing (soulmates au!!!!!!!) and surrounded by your love (wedding reception!!!!!!!)

pregnancy test II by @oscarwildewannabe, i love cat’s fics but i think especially her alexis centric ones are so good!! this one is ted x alexis

anything by startswithhope aka/or @language-of-love, but particularly the one kiss at a time verse!!!

also anything by @al-ex-an-d-er-hamiltons, but particularly the fisherman au, by any other name and this year’s love verse which are all masterpieces

if i survive, i’ll dive back in by dameofpowellestate, a diving au that i have not finished yet but it is very lovely and has an interesting plot!!

going down by concannonfodder, i have also not finished this yet but it’s an au where david and patrick meet on nye when they get stuck in an elevator and the story progresses from there

a fair return by thingswithwings this story is a MASTERPIECE with well over 200k words of patrick’s journey through discovering/feeling comfortable with his sexuality. truly beautiful and perfect for pride!

well, here we are, we guess by scriblit, this is also a pride fic but it’s short ish and very very funny and lighthearted!

this must be the place by sparklesmagiclightlove, this is such a simple fic but i just think it’s so amazing and sweet and i cried when reading it (it also features a side of twyla/stevie which is just an added bonus)

shall i stay? by alldaydream a really lovely highschool au!!

tonight i’ll drift in a dream with you by torakowalski it’s so SOFT

warmer by ellie603 a soulmates au :-)

my heart was broke, my head was sore by blueink3, a canon divergent from the day after grad night. THE ANGSTTTT THE SOFTNESSSSSS

cards on the table by bigficenergy, canon divergent after 3x08!

all the things you are to me and turn down the lights, turn down the bed by hudders-and-hiddles aka @wild-aloof-rebel (along with all her other fics) !!!!

friends and family discount by etben, where patrick has a kid (with rachel) i would die for this fic

take it from your heart, put it in your hand by thewayulook2night , ANOTHER fic where patrick has a kid that i would also very much die for

a schitt year series by stargatewars, they are all amazing, especially if you’re looking for different types of one shots, but also KUDOS for writing one fic a week for a whole year!!!! one that i particularly loved was i wanna grow old with you

some things never change by tuatarasa. what can i say, i love patrick rose

just as you are by justwaiting23, this one is such a DELIGHT and i loved it so much!! also a lovely fic by the same author is friday, i’m in love

romantically in business by sullymygoodname, nothing really to add it is just v good

knit and purl by houdini74 a holiday fic but very very good!!

happy hanukkah, patrick rose by schittposting, another holiday fic this time it focuses on patrick celebrating hanukkah for the first time with the roses also PATRICK ROSE and it’s just. beautiful

the roses get a cat by patricksdavid just david and patrick getting a chicken cutlet hairless cat 🥺

i missed you by sonlali, this is a david & stevie fic and it’s just so soft i wanna cry about it

rhapsody in sand and stone by coffee_flavored_kisses, really really lovely!!

these last few are going to be the more nsfw/pwp ones so if you don’t care about that you can probably stop here

love, trust and pleather restraints by coffee_flavored_kisses, read the tags!!

just as long as i’m here in your arms by princesstigerlily, it’s still ongoing but very beautiful. read the tags!!!

didipickles’ fratpat verse

take my heart and make it strong by cartwrite

push and pull by samwhambam amazing talented brilliant showstopping (it’s not strictly a pwp or something but i decided to put it in this category anyway)

okay this is all for now, again i have definitely left out some fics that i will add in case i do remember them!!

[andromedasstarship]

1828 Monday 19 May

2 3/4 8 1/2

.. [indicates her period]

For fear of not being ready had merely taken off my gown drawers and stockings and slept in the rest no motion yesterday nor this morning -

On going downstairs good fire in my room, and on going to the coach office to pay my fare to Alnwick, § found myself put down free - could not at first comprehend it, but it soon struck as a little mark of attention on the part of Dodsworth - thick foggy morning - could not have seen much even had I been on the outside -

At 8 40/60 stopt at Belford to breakfast - a good Inn, and neat little town - off again in 35 minutes having in vain sat quarter hour in the water closet - 2 very respectably mannered young men my companions - 1 a West India merchant just come to see his friends at Berwick has made a good fortune - intelligent and agreeable enough - for the free trade system in spite of the complaints of Sunderland, Shields, Newcastle etc. said the exclusive system of Bristol had done good to the individual merchants of the town, but had not profited the town in general like the liberal plan of Liverpool which had been the making of the place - such was the free trade - good for the whole body of the people, but not for many individuals who must suffer from it - much more money - many more large fortunes had been made in Bristol than Liverpool - trade an hereditary and valuable possession in B- [Bristol] too much competition for this to be so much the case in L- [Liverpool]

Stopt, merely to change horses, at Berwick at 10 50/60 - here we lost our West India merchant and took in a Scotchman knowing every inch of the road to Edinburgh - Berwick a nice town - at 1 5/60 pass Dunglass bridge, about 35 miles from Edinburgh, and enter East Lothian, the garden of Scotland - the land of mid Lothian improved by its being so around Edinburgh - west Lothian not so good - beautiful husbandry - beans drill-set, and earthed up by a light iron plough - beautiful even wheat - would average 4 quarters per acre - the climate not so good as in Kent - Land in East Lothian let (but not generally on the average perhaps more than £4) at £6 per acre but 5 roods to the acre - all coaches pay to government a duty of 3 d. [pence] 1/2 per annum - Keep of a horse would be £40 a year - stages now average 8 miles - the London, Carlisle, Leeds, and Glasgow all run 9 1/2 miles an hour - i.e. 9 miles including stoppages -

The sea close on our right (lose sight of it very seldom) all the way from between Alnwick and Belford to Edinburgh - § Alnwick a very pretty town - hesitated for a moment whether to stop, and see the castle, but, finding there would be no coach till the union at 12 (had got there about 7 1/2) and somehow not feeling very well, determined to give up both Alnwick and Barnborough castle to keep to my time in getting into Edinburgh, and to go forward at once without the pother of stopping - the exterior of the castle very fine - must see it some other time - the duke does a great deal of good here - pass thro' Dunbore a neat little town (all the towns and villages neat) at 1 55/60 - alight at the Black bull Edinburgh at 4 3/4 - magnificent town -

Astonished to find no one knowing anything of Redford - took a porter, and walked to 5 North Street David Street to get Miss Mc.L-'s [Maclean's] address - she was just gone to colonel Thackeray's, 35 Melville Street, for a few days - well thought I I was not off to Redford - returned to the Inn wrote and sent off the porter with a few lines to her announcing my arrival - and sat down to dinner at 5 1/2 - had hardly dined when at 6 1/4 Miss Mc.L- [Maclean] came in - very civil message from the Thackerays begging I would go back with Miss Mc.L- [Maclean] to them excused myself - she to come to me between 11 and 12 tomorrow - looking miserably thin and ill and aged with a bad cough and wanting a pad behind and tho always elegant and ladylike yet wanting a little Parisianizing in dress - had had pease soup veal cutlets and a tart and a bottle of moselle all which I drank think its acidity might do my bowels good - went to my room about 7 1/4 - fine day my cousin had come an hour or two before reaching Edinburgh -

Also on AO3!

TW: Child Abuse (all kinds implied, explicit verbal and physical abuse), implied CSA

TL;DR:

Things you must sacrifice to make a hero: Humanity, Empathy.

Things you must sacrifice to be a hero: Everything.

But with the end of a symbol come the end of the hurt. 

Starting with I-Island Expo

mellissa calls them over like canon, shouto basically demands he gets endeavours spot. aizawa and yamada go too, mostly because yamada was going there for his show and they heard whispers of all might, and were worried about a possible izuku attending so aizawa went as a plus one

the other kids are there for the same reason, but other than scissors paper rock for the tickets it was a tournament brawl because ochako demanded combat.

she won, of course

anyway, they meet up w david and melissa, and izuku and her go explore the expo when melissa tells izuku shes quirkless he just give her the strangest look, and she's a little confused

i-island was a very chill attitude towards quirks. if you have one, cool, but they aren't useful to the inventors so its nbd if you don’t. and she says ab how she's a researcher and all the and he just looks at her like shes speaking gibberish

"they,,, they let you?"

and melissa looks dumbfounded "obviously? i mean, my grades are good enough?"

and izuku just start to cry. melissa is panicking bc she's already adopted this little hero as her little cousin because he's basically uncle might's kid. she like, hides him away in a corner and tries to understand what's wrong

and all she can get out of this crying kid is

"i used to be quirkless" and "don't tell all might"

she gives him a big hug and he talks ab how he was treated in middle school, and about how he hasn't told anyone in ua. she asks why he said don't tell all might and he murmurs that allmight doesn't think is very befitting of a hero to cry

deep down that doesn't sound right to her. but she only nods, hands him a tissue and they giggle about it behind a fancy model car

back in the office david and all might are talking

all might tells david that he knows his quirk is fading but it's ok, because he's training a successor and izuku is going to be perfect. that sounds ok to david. he's warmed by the total faith all might seems to have in his student, and the close relationship they must have to call him by his first name

all might confesses he’s looking forward to retiring and nurturing his student and david calls off the whole heist (well. he tries to. not that they listen.)

so Yamada and Aizawa are walking around the showroom floor and they see a "i was just crying but im trying to hide it and going an ok job" izuku with some random fucking blonde girl and they s w o o p in bc these are some worried dads

basically Yamada keeps her busy while aizawa says "oh i have to talk to you ab something" izuku goes over to aizawa and hes freaking the fuck out quietly. aizawa just leans down to look him in the eye

"you ok, kid?"

and izuku is confused

"what do you mean?"

"you looked a little upset back there, do you know that girl? is she,,, doing anything? to you?"

and izuku feels all warm and fuzzy inside and smiles at his teacher bc aizawa cares!! ab him!!

"no sensei, shes all mights kind-of-niece, she was just showing me around the expo"

and aizawa winces a little at the all might comment but what can he do

"well, don't forget you can talk to me, ok? i know i gave you my number on an emergency basis but i also want you to know your definition of an emergency is terrible. just call whenever you want"

melissa, bc she understands social cues unlike izuku, and also bc shes fucking 18 looks at yamada and says "what's wrong?" and yamada feels all the force of an 18-year-old girls glare of "ive adopted this kid and ill kick you for him"

"just worried about the little listener is all, he looked a little down"

melissa just sighs and nods

"yeah."

yamada expects her to continue but she doesn't. they both just kinda fiddle around with some random buttons until aizawa brings izuku back, who looks significantly cheerier now. melissa declares lunch is on her and that the teachers are coming too

aizawa and yamada try to wiggle their way out of it, until izuku also tries to so they all double down on going to lunch and izuku gets dragged along

when they get there he's fretting ab what won't ruin his diet plan, and aizawa and yamada feel bad. melissa just tells him to get what he wants

"but i dont want to upset-. i should be sticking to my diet plan though."

aizawa loudly declares hes getting a chocolate sundae and pork cutlet sandwiches. melissa, equally loudly, decides on carbonara. yamada fumbles for a bit looking for something unhealthy because hes a mess, finally finds a chicken karrage bowl and points at it like hes very proud of himself

melissa loses her shit laughing, izuku just giggles softly and aizawa fuckn snorts at the crestfallen look on yamada

izuku quietly asks if getting katsudon would be ok and melissa just looks into his eyes

"izuku i would kill a man for you of course pork katudon is ok"

anyway, the other students turn up, and momo shouts them all food, ochako proudly declares herself the winner of a fighting tournament and aizawa just slumps in his chair

"if i didnt hear that, you dont get detention for using your quirks without supervision"

and ochako just smiles with a scary amount of teeth

"who said we used quirks, sensei?"

and ochako proudly shows off the bruise on her upper arm where jirou punched her and jirou is whining bc she has a foot shaped imprint in her stomach s t i l l from the last round

everyone is talking n shooting the shit. it strikes the kids (and the teachers) a little weird that izuku is in his hero costume (the only other person there in costume is yamada, who is representing his agency. aizawa is in free dress but also his scarf bc he wanted to ask how the fuck it was made) but they just kinda, don't mention it

anyway, the bit w the quirk display

they hound aizawa into doing it, and he makes time pretty similar to bakugo and everyone is cheering for him and he's trying very hard to maintain his "im a professional hero not a dad getting cheered on by his stupid kids"

yamada wants to do it, but aizawa won't let him bc people need their ears

all the hero kids give it a go, including ochako, jirou, momo, etc. izuku (who at this point is like at 10%ish full cowl) makes time tied w Todoroki and izuku is talking ab how amazing todoroki is, and tenya chimes in with "you are quite amazing as well!" and midoriya blushes so hard he looks like a strawberry. he is very very flustered and keeps trying to deny it

eventually, everyone piles on the compliments (even katsuki bc this is the most fun hes had in ages) until izuku gets so flustered he hides behind aizawa like "you won't do this to me right?"

aizawa fuckn ruffles his hair and says "you're a good kid"

izuku just cries but he's smiling so wide everyone knows he's happy

so its the night of the party

izuku is dressed to the nines and he's sad ab it bc he wanted to wear something cheery and bright but instead he was dressed in a charcoal black suit, vest and a dark red tie. black shoes too

the one bit of cheer he shoved in were some red laces bc all might didn't mind them bc he was so "good" ab the suit fitting and the poking and prodding so he wears the bright red laces and he's very happy ab them

all might is in his hero costume, and he's very proud of the fact he and izuku match like a pair with the same shade of red bc that's his successor! his boy! all might tells izuku he can wait outside for the rest of the kids to show up and izuku is so happy! so he thanks allmight a lot more than he needs to and waits outside the door (all might was early to the event bc he needed to schmooze)

aizawa and yamada come later to a surprisingly well dressed izuku waiting patiently off to the side

they ask him why he's out there and he happily chirps that he's waiting for the other students that attended, they smile at him and walk in . all might sends them a glare from across the floor that aizawa returns just as spitefully

anyway, iida texts that he's stuck out the front bc the door won't open so he scrambles over to let iida and, apparently ochako as well, in (for the purposes of this au, todoroki, iida, ochako, izuku and melissa are the only ones of the kids at the beginning, todoroki's melodramatic entrance is stolen by jirou and momo. no mineta or kami bc they just,,, arent there lmao)

so the doors slam shut and melissa is like "wtf wtf" and the announcement sounds. they pile up the stair to look down to the dining room, teachers and other heroes tied up

the kids know a bit of sign from various hero class training bits by aizawa and "fun facts" by mic

so they brokenly sign to allmight and aizawa (the only teachers that can see them) that they are going to fix this

all might nods

aizawa looks panicked. these are kids. his kids. they shouldn't have to fight people with fucking guns

izuku says "ill keep them safe" and aizawa wants to cry because he believes him, but who'll keep izuku safe

so iida starts on his whole "we cant use quirks" speech before melissa can even remind them ab i islands quirk laws, izuku just murmurs

"all might gave me permission to fight. it'll be ok."

melissa freezes bc,,, she knows adults shouldn't be letting these kids fight, even if that's exactly what she's going to help them do. she mentions the quirk law anyway

now todoroki is pissed at all might but the bitch was gonna fight anyway. ochako is 100% roaring for a showdown

now they are,, a little more cautious. bc they are a smaller group here but izuku is like double the power so its not realllllyy an issue. the middle fight happens, they gain the wlw and mlm solidarity pairs (Jirou + Momo, Kirishima + Bakugo)

then pretty quickly lose bakugo and momo for a hot minute as they stay to finish up the fight while sending the others on

oh izuku totally has the punchy punchy thing from melissa i just forgot to mention it

so, bc melissa's dad didnt actually,, want in on it this time he's fighting back. he's stalling, pleading, backchatting; everything he can do to give someone a chance to fix his fuck up before it kills someone

so melissa and izuku make it to the top of the tower

izuku has been at shot more times than he's really happy about, just he has nothing more than a few grazes. melissa has a nasty bruise on her face and a cut on her arm from where she redirected a blow that would have stabbed izuku

the villain is talking ab how this was David's idea, and he's trying to explain to the kids that he's sorry, this was a mistake. he tried to call it off but they wouldn't stop. at this point he is totally away these people are real criminals and has been since the heist began

he's trying to convince them to run because as proud as all might is of izuku, and as proud of melissa he is, they are to young. they don't deserve this

izuku takes out the goons but the villain has already escaped with david and the quirk enhancer

izuku promises melissa he'll keep her dad safe and shes left in the control room crying alone because who'll protect the kid that's been nothing but kind and gentle yet has the weight of the world on his shoulders

also just an fyi bc you needed to know- melissa is down her heels and she lost her hairpin when she stabbed someone with it, she threw her heels at a villain too bc she was running out of ideas. melissa literally tied her hair in a big knot so she could fucking see

izuku is down a jacket - threw it over someone's head then punched them and his waistcoat is unbuttoned bc he need to punch. his hair is going fucking hog wild, even in the tighter clip yagi likes it kept in

anyway, when the alarms go off, all might fucking rockets to the roof and aizawa is fuming bc those are his fucking kids too

he and yamada have to take the goddamn elevator to the roof. its certainly not a slow elevator but aizawa is so fucking tense. yamada isn't much better

all might won't let them fight. he hands david and melissa off to them and tells them he and izuku will handle wolfram and aizawa is so pissed bc izuku is on his last fucking legs here

aizawas quirk doesn't work w the enhancer so he admits there isn't much he can do, but yamada is perfect here. but all might won't move out of the way long enough for mic to let his quirk go. honestly, hed be tempted to do it anyway if not for izuku also being there

anyway, all might and izuku do their lil double detroit smash and its all very sweet

kind of

bc,,, aizawa can see how izuku is shaken up, and close to passing out. visibly in a lot of pain but he's swallowing it all down and acting as if everything is fine and aizawa sees izuku with small might again and wonders why, why do they know each other?

yamada and aizawa feel vaguely ill when izuku and all might return to their shared hotel room after all might grabs a few bandages and alcohol wipes from a first aid kit. bc,,, aizawa can see how izuku is shaken up, and close to passing out. visibly in a lot of pain but he's swallowing it all down and acting as if everything is fine

aizawa and yamada stay with the kids, trying to cheer them up and bandaging wounds that don't need urgent medical care. melissa is just blankly watching out the door izuku left through

"why didn't they stay?"

aizawa just aggressively tightens the bandage around his sliced up arm. todoroki looks pissed. iida just kind of looks down

"im not sure, melissa. im... im not sure"

the next morning, as aizawa and yamada stumble downstairs to eat shitty hotel breakfast food, yamada glances out the window and looks like he's about to cry bc izuku, still battered and bruised, is stepping out of the gym over the road. its only 7am

they basically pounce on the kid and drag him to breakfast, where they find out he has been training since 5 and hasn't eaten yet and he's fucking, sheepish about it

"i got up a little late, so i just to my light routine for the morning, ill have to make up the time a little later"

aizawa just shoves pastries at his kid. izuku tries to stammer out that they arent part of his diet but,,, they look really nice and he's really hungry and stressed,,, and he caves pretty quick

so aizawa yamada and izuku are sitting around a table, both of his teachers arent totally human until they've had a coffee so izuku is happily babbling about some new hero teach he saw as aizawa grunts in affirmation

allmight shows up and izuku blanches. aizawa and yamada are a little too tired to realise until yagi is already over by the table. izuku quietly puts down the pastry and just cringes into himself

"im,,, im really sorry. i - i just"

"i got it for him" aizawa says totally deadpan as he slams back a whole ass cup of coffee

deep down inside he did it to flex on mister "i have no stomach so im not allowed caffeine"

all might sighs and gently chides izuku for not sticking to his diet plan. izuku nods miserably and excuses himself back to the room to 'get changed out of his sweaty clothes'

yagi sits and eats breakfast with aizawa and yamada as they try to understand what,,, what exactly happened there. it hurts both of them because they aren't sure what all mights doing

mic has seen one instance of something nasty going on, but other than that its just been a collection of terrible vibes

Training Camp Time Baby.

after that total clusterfuck of an event training camps still on

all might wants to go but nezu no sells him bc "you literally attract villains, all might" and like bitch is smart, he knows something is up. he's not sure what yet, but he's working on it

all might gives aizawa a personalised training schedule for izuku that he takes one look at and throws it out the fucking window

basically all might goes as "all might's secretary" to monoma

"very worried about my boy, and i think aizawa is training him too hard, could you please give me a run down on what happens each day?"

monoma, starry-eyed: of course all might

and there is this little,,, list of things he doesn't want izuku doing and he phrases them in ways that make it seem like he's being perfectly reasonable. like allergies or bad habits izuku is trying to break or whatever. izuku has to tell all might what happens at the end of every day anyway

all might,,, wants hourly updates,,,, but he realises that's not going to happen w aizawa's deep hatred of students on cellphones lmao

he hears izuku mentioning to todoroki that "yagi" wants to know what's happening at the camp and that he's excited to talk to his mentor about all the training they do. and aizawa is caught between wanting to find some bullshit reason to take izukus phone, or just pretending he didn't hear that bc who knows how much trouble not answering yagi could get him in

he makes an announcement that cellphones are to be on mute for the duration of the camp anyway.

yagi wanted to go on the camp, aizawa wouldn't let him, monoma is yagis mole etc we have covered this

in this au the league never latched on to bakugo, it's izuku that shigiraki wants, but to backtrack

getting off the bus its funny in a sad way bc izuku was so prepared to get hit by one of the teachers "training" them at any time he dodges the landslide

they all just kinda sit there for a second, stunned. izuku sighs quietly and jumps after his classmates

anyway so, they get to the camp a lil faster bc izuku is More Powerful, izuku (bc hes faster than iida on uneven ground) runs shinsou to the campground, they mind control pixiebob to stop the earthbeasts then run back to show the rest of 1A the way out

they get there in 2 hours

aizawa is very proud of his boy for thinking of that! and he ruffles izukus hair and its cute

in this au izuku isn't confident enough to say hi to kouta, but he waves. kouta just glares at him and he hides behind iida

they do a little extra training because 1A finished the earth beast thing so fast, half of the training is all of 1A trying to stop Izuku from going overboard. they get a little,,, disturbed when they realise just how long izuku can train without visibly breaking a sweat

they go to chill in the baths and iida sees izuku walking out of the changing rooms and freezes

because he's c o v e r e d in hand-shaped bruises

he tries not to react bc he doesn't want izuku to be uncomfortable and change his mind ab hanging in the bath w all of them

kaminari goes to say something and kirishima just fucking pulls him under the water before he can say anything, mineta is socially aware enough to not open his fucking mouth

they chat n izuku can kinda,,, tell,,, something is wrong but most of the bruises are places he can't see/doesn't look, like his shoulders, hips, back, back of his legs

and the ones on his wrist he just kinda brushes off bc he's still convinced this is normal. the thing w mineta happens, izuku helps kouta, iida comes with him to give him to the wild wild pussycats

and pixiebob looks like she wants to say something bc who is hurting this kid? and iida just catches her eyes and he looks so worried. she keeps her mouth shut, but makes sure to mention it to aizawa. she feels terrible when aizawa just curses and pulls his hair in frustration

anyway, 1B shows up and its hilarious bc 1A is going hog fucking wild other than izuku, aizawa is forcing izuku to learn to cook

so bakugo is screaming and blowing shit up, todoroki is in a fucking barrel, iida is running like afo is chasing him and aizawa is patiently showing izuku how to scramble eegs

monoma is losing his fucking mind

but yeah aizawa and izuku are sitting in front of a little stove w their legs crossed, izuku is trying to cut tomatoes and aizawa is supervising. they are making breakfast for 1A. slowly. all of 1A is being very careful to not disturb them, so there is this little bubble of calm around the egg station

"why,,, why arent i training?"

and aizawa fucking pauses

"this is training, keep up problem child."

and izuku looks so fucking lost but the eggs smell good and he gets to cook the bacon next. each part of the fucking breakfast is cold by the time 1A gets to eat it bc izuku was cooking it 1 by 1, little portions at a time

everyone just tells him its fucking wonderful

he joins in training after breakfast, ragdoll is placed on "izuku watching duty" which izuku has 0 clue about. if he gets hurt/sore/too tired someone gets sent over to get him to do something else

when she looks at him the first time she wants to cry bc,,, he's not tired, he's more rested than he's been in ages. but the places that hurt, before hes even been training, are sending blaring alarm bells in her brain

anyway, its amusing bc everyone is 'going beyond' and they are just trying to get izuku back so they can know what is 'going beyond' and what is 'going so far beyond how are you still moving'

everyone is fucking wiped and izuku is like 'this is the easiest training ive had in months what' and aizawas want to yell bc while hes being soft on izuku, they arent taking his training lightly, and this is easy?

he gives the curry to kouta like the show, they all go to sleep

izuku has a nightmare and shouto - the only person not asleep - tries not to hear the things he's saying. he can't hear much, but he wishes he hadn't heard anything. anyway at least they all wake up well-rested

unfortunately in this au the villains actually have a half-decent plan, and fucking, communicators -which isn't great for the kids

so muscular sees izuku and is like "oi compress move your arse over here" while he tries to kill kouta. so we get the joy of izuku saving kouta, getting him to aizawa and just as he hands over the kid, compress takes izuku and kouta just starts to cry

"izuku is kidnapped" time is a ride

the only thing they give him is a set of quirk suppressors and dont give him a key to get out of the bar. they are about as nice to him as they are to each other, a little softer on him bc he's young and they pretty much know what's happening to him

like, he gets out of compresses marble and he's panicking and crying, dabi just crouches down next to him and rubs his back, asks him if he's gonna be ok

shigiraki is trying to convince izuku to join then and his face just kinda falls when he sees izuku looking resistant

"you,,, you don't know that what he’s doing to you is wrong, do you."

and izuku looks like a deer in the headlights

"what do you mean? no ones- nothings- nothings wrong."

dabi just sits on a chair bc he knows where this is going and he doesn't like it. shigiraki looks at izuku

"if its not wrong, then tell me about it"

and izuku clams right up

ok but afo wants to talk to izuku. in this au he has literally 0 beef with the kid

he has only so much beef with the ofa users in general and he's typically pretty soft on them for being part of his brothers legacy, as soft as he can make killing them if they won't stop getting in his way, but still

but he hates allmight so fucking much and he's never been totally sure why

anyway, he asks to talk w izuku and this kid is shaking like a leaf and afo tells him

"you are a child. i have no intention of hurting you, i just want to know what all might has done to you."

"hes not done anything bad, i swear!"

"then why don't you tell me about it?"

izuku sits there quietly and afo feels just generally disgusted with humanity tbh

"how did you two meet?" izuku slowly opens up about the day they first met, and afo feels a stab of empathy for izuku, because being quirkless now is pretty comparable to being quirked before, afo doesnt interject beyond nods and encouraging him to keep going

but eventually, izuku totally clams up, starts crying and can't say anything else. afo wishes he didnt look as scary as he did because he wants to give the kid a hug. he calls tomura to take him back to the bar and get him something to eat

it gets to the point that all of the villains are super fucking soft for izuku. he's very nice, treats them well, and has seen some horrific shit

so when all might shows up to "rescue" him, they close ranks. they don't even pressure him to become a villain, because each of them has felt society push them into boxes they didn't want, and they don't want to do that to izuku

anyway, they get to kamino bc the usual fuckery, and izuku is just stranded behind villains crying and looking ill

the rescue squad : bakugo, todoroki, ochako, kirishima, iida, and one stubborn shinso that befriended the hero departments resident nervous wreck

they look across the field and they feel ill because izuku looks sick. but they feel a little better when twice gives him a bit of a hug.

confilcted, but better

they see afo talking to him gently but quickly, gesturing both to the villains and to the section of wall the rescue squad is hidden behind. izuku tearfully points to the wall, afo nods, ruffles his hair, and goes to send him off when all might rockets in

basically afo has looked at izuku and thought "wow he's me but a good person" and thinks he's what his little brother would want a hero to be, so, while he's very much going to continue his villainous thing, he's going to go out of his way to avoid hurting izuku bc this kid is what his little brother wanted OFA to be

and allmight is exactly what he would have hated

so, all might takes a step forward to drag izuku, the villains push him behind them

dabi is basically saying something along the lines of

"so does being in the top ten require you to be a total dick, or is it just a running theme?"

"give him back"

"why all might, izuku is his own person."

"izuku, get over here, now."

izuku lets out a sob and vaults over the villains, hiding behind allmight and all might looks horrifically smug. izuku whispers something to all might, but all might shakes his head (he was asking if he could run away)

the fight begins

a few reasons he won't let him leave:

its punishment for being 'weak' enough to get kidnapped

its backup if afo gets the better of his because hes made sure izuku is more than a force to be reckoned with

he wants to know what dabi ment and hes very read to ask izuku ab it

izuku is honestly shaking like a leaf, quirk going bonkers and he can't turn it off. the rescue squad does its thing, and their hearts break when they see izuku look at them tearfully and shake his head

they all hide in the crowd and cry as they watch the fight go on, izuku shakily pulling people from the rubble in the background. when hes gotten all of the people free he can, izuku kind of runs out of reasons he isnt actively helping allmight. he grits his teeth and dives into the fight with the other villains

hes trying to keep them away from all might and they all look heartbroken ab having to fight him dabi is saying something along the lines of "we know he hurt you, but how? why?" and izuku is just crying

all might can hear this too

izuku actually misses a few kicks and punches bc his eyes are too filled with tears, but the villains are careful not to hurt him too much. they just want to get him down and out of the fight, but as uninjured as possible

but that's a little fucking difficult when compress and kurogiri are down for the count and everyone else has nasty death quirks

eventually, it gets to the point that trying not to hurt the other villains is only hindering afo, and all might is pulling exactly 0 punches with izuku present, so afo teleports the villains away, they feel bad ab leaving izuku behind but there is no way this little hero would go with them. they know that now

afo goes to deal the final blow to all might, izuku just moves

cant stop himself from planting himself between them and trying desperately to catch the punch. hes hurt, badly. but he's not as dead as all might would have been

there is a vicious edge to all might’s smile as izuku is blown across the battlefield, and lays there w/o moving

afo feels sick, all might just looks pleased

"ive done pretty well wouldn't you say?"

afo just stares at him

"ive created the perfect hero. selfless down to the last breath, filled with overwhelming power and determination."

"he's flawless. isn't he."

afo wants to gag

"so, in creating your 'perfect hero', you find it acceptable to sacrifice your own humanity?"

"absolutely"

(all mights been small might for this conversation i just forgot to mention it l m a o )

they exchange their final blows

izuku shakily gets up from where he lays crumpled on the ground and staggers over to all might, where he stands victorious over afo

iida, todoroki, shinsou, Bakugo, the people who have seen what yagi has done to izuku and how he has treated him are now slapped with the realisation that the number one hero and the person hurting their best friend are one and the same

shinsou punches a wall, bakugo looks like he's about to be sick. iida and todoroki look shell shocked. ochako is just lost and confused

all might wraps izuku is a hug, where izuku hides his sobbing face. all might whispers something in izukus ear, not that the cameras can pick it up

"come on now, heroes don't cry."

izuku takes a breath, wipes away his tears and steps back. All might rests a hand on his shoulder and looks into his eyes, and loud enough for the cameras to pick up and announces

"you're next."

izuku nods solemnly

in the back of a conference room, vlad watches as aizawa goes deathly pale in realisation. at ua, nezu watches on with a degree on concern. at the hospital, the clueless members of 1A cheer. those who know more feel nervous, those who know the most feel sick.

the internet goes fucking bonkers. all might transformed, defeated a crazy villain, and literally declared his successor live on television

izuku and all might end up in the same hospital room, and all might,,, allmight.. ye.

anyway, the kids from the rescue attempt call aizawa over and over and over. every teacher, student, pro

any hero of ua staff they have anyway of contacting, begging to find out where izuku is right now. aizawa would tell them if he wasn't going exactly the same thing himself

eventually recovery girl calls him and he hightails his way over. fyi inko isn't there bc shes passed out drunk at home uwu

he bursts into the hospital room with as much dignity as he could possibly have and it's not really very much. doctors are hovering around, stitching wounds, taking blood, and watching an ecg pretty closely (they felt the room for a minute and izukus started going crazy, so they thought something may have happened to his heart)

the amount izuku perks up when he sees aizawa is heartbreaking he rushes over and immediately starts looking him over, apologising and telling him he's brave and that he's sorry he couldn't be there to help and izuku tears up. all might is glaring a hole in his back but aizawa doesnt give a shit right now, his kid basically go taken by the boogeyman and his unstable son, then has a target painted on his back on live tv. aizawa gives 0 shits ab all might right now

izuku just looks stunned, and then he lets out a watery giggle

"you shaved, sensei."

and aizawa is caught between crying and laughing. gently asks izuku if he can give him a hug, and izuku looks so shocked he was asked aizawa heart breaks again. izuku nods shyly and gets a Good Dad Hug

aizawa stays until izuku falls asleep, then he rounds on all might

“I don’t know what you’ve done to him, but he looked more afraid to be stood next to you than a man who has killed countless. Whatever you did, you won’t be doing it again.”

All might goes to say something, anything, but aizawa grabs him by the front of his hero costume

Aizawa tells him in no uncertain terms that he’ll never be alone in a room with izuku again for as long as he lives.

And with that, he storms out, leaving all might to stew.

Singapore

A futuristic country full of beauty, its  here that  you can find a country like no other. Ever since David Attenborough talked about this small country in his documentary, ‘Urban Wild’, I have always wanted to pay a visit.

Singapore is the most eco-friendliest country in all of Asia after establishing the Green Plan in 1992. The country is immaculate, full of stunning greenery and breathtaking architecture.

After becoming newly single, I needed to do something for myself. I love travelling, there is nothing better than visiting the unknown and discovering a new culture.  I decided to spend four days in Singapore, staying at a hostel in Chinatown. I stayed at the hostel, ‘Beary! Best’,  in an female only dormitory. When you get to my age, the last thing you want to do is share with other people because it can feel like returning back to being a student at university. However,  staying in a hostel is a good way to meet other people when you are travelling alone. It is down to the individual on what you prefer but I do recommend that you give it a go because you can also save a lot of money.

My days were jam packed with things to do, I hope this inspires you to gain courage to travel alone if you haven’t yet done so.

Day 1

It was Tet in Vietnam otherwise known as Chinese New Year elsewhere. I woke up at 4.30am due to lack of taxis and heavy queues at the airport because my flight was at 9am. If you are travelling during this time then please make sure you allow enough time. 

When you are arrive at Changi Airport , make sure to check out the Jewel Changi, this holds the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. 

The subway is very easy to use and I did not find it to be overcrowded like other cities such as Tokyo and London. The trains are air conditioned, smooth and clean as they are regularly patrolled by the police. Make sure you get a visitor pass which is $30 (SG dollars) for three days, you can then top up afterwards. Make sure you return the pass also because you get a refund back of $10.

Due to it being Chinese New Year, I stayed in Chinatown after settling into the hostel. I met up with another traveler off the Singapore Backpack Group on Facebook. We found a restaurant that had some vegetarian Chinese dishes, she had some dumplings and I had some fried tofu with noodles. Not all Chinese restaurants have vegetarian dishes but it is possible as we found out.

Chinatown was packed and the smell of durian was everywhere and I am sorry guys, the smell still makes me gag. If you are sensitive to the smell of durian, then please be aware of this when travelling around.

After dinner, we had a walk around but because the other traveler’s hostel was on the other side of town, she decided to leave early to beat the crowds when getting home.

I waited around on New Bridge Road whilst a television show was being filmed, waiting patiently for the fireworks at midnight. It was good for a while but as I became more aware that around me were couples, families or people with their friends it was then that I felt lonely. However, it was the only time I felt lonely during the trip.

The fireworks took place at midnight and it was worth it, if you are travelling at this time then its a great celebration to be a part of because you get to experience it with the locals and other international visitors.

Day 2

Singapore is very small and it is very easy to get around.I managed to do a lot on the second day! 

Fort Canning was a beautiful park with a spectacular view of the sky scrapers when you reach the hilltop. It was part of the British Army Barracks, it is here than you can view such landmarks as ‘The Gate of Fort Canning’ and the ‘Old Soldiers Marriage Quarters’. It is peaceful and a lovely place to take in the calm of the morning sun. Admission is free.

You can walk from Fort Caning to Marina Bay Sands but be sure to check out Old  Hill Street Police Station on your way. Tracing back to 1819, it is one of Singapore’s oldest governmental buildings. 

Marina Bay  is the WOW factor of Singapore! The view of Marina Bay is stunning and there are many things to do within this area. Be sure to check out the Merlion of Singapore, Esplanade Theatre and take a walk along the Helix Bridge. On the other side of the Marina Bay Sands, you can find the ‘Gardens by The Bay’, I will discuss this later on. Please return to Marina Bay in the evening for the fireworks show!

Botanical Gardens was founded in 1859 and is home to a rain forest and even an orchid garden. My favourite area of the Botanical Gardens was Ethnobotany Garden, containing stingless bees, turtles and Malayan water lizards that roam freely.

Haji Lane is known for its graffiti, trendy shops and cool bars. This is definitely a hipster area which is great to drop by and do some shopping or chill out at a bar.

If you are are vegan (or vegetarian) like me, then you might have also found it difficult to find plant based Korean food. I have been craving to try Korean food for a long time but it is impossible to find plant based Korean food in Vietnam. However, in Singapore you can! Check out Boneless Kitchen, for just $9 I had a mushroom ramen which was delicious although could’ve had been spicier. It was packed with noodles, mushrooms, tofu, vegan pork, Korean dumplings vegan sausages and cheese. It was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend you visit during your stay.

Day Three

Sentosa Island is that artificial place that you are not too sure you want to visit...but you do. Home to Universal Studios and other attactions, I went there to visit the man made beach. Palawan Beach can be reached by the sky train and a ten minute walk. The beach is immaculate and you can walk across a suspension bridge where you can visit the outlook towers. It is a great way to spend the day relaxing, having a swim in the water and topping up your tan.

If you love Japanese food, like me, then look no further than Herbivore. This vegan restaurant has the most amazing dishes. This is a time when I would have liked someone with me because I could have shared some dishes. However, the katsu bento was just perfect. Katsu curry with vegetables, rice and a seitan cutlet accompanied with a salad, miso soup and lychee jelly. The dish cost around $19.

Gardens by the Bay is a wonderful place to visit and is probably the highlight of my visit. It is here that you can view the Super Trees, art sculptures, the cloud forest and the flower dome. You can get lost in the magic here..

Day Four

On this day I visited Little India but I did not stay for long. I think it might have been the only time that I felt a little uncomfortable in Singapore and it might be better to travel with someone else to this area. It is a great place if you want to buy beautiful material and eat some Indian food.

I visited the Bugis Centre to do a little shopping. I bought a boxy shirt and some shorts from UNIQLO for just $30 (SG Dollars). I ate at the Green Dot for some tradtional vegan Laska, however, it was carb heavy much like the majority of Asia. I always find rice and noodles too heavy to eat in the heat and ended up just eating the vegan prawns, fish balls and pork along with the soup. The dish cost $9.

In the evening, I ate at a vegetarian Taiwanese restaurant but I am unsure of the name. I had a three course meal that consisted of tomato and carrot soup, some truffle bake followed by a lava cake served with cider to drink. This meal was the most expensive costing $33.

After this, I visited the light show in Gardens by the Bay. The light show takes place at the super trees and it was pretty spectacular to watch, I highly recommend it and it also free for admission.

Flight: $160 (SG Dollars) , GBP91.00 

Travel: $30 (SG Dollars) , GBP16.00

Hostel: $113 (SG Dollars) , GBP63.00

Travel money: $260 (SG Dollars) , GBP150.00

Total for the trip: $565 (SG Dollars), GBP316.00

Beating The Egg: A Snow Queen Ficlet

Summary: Regina teaches Snow how to make lamb cutlets and things get emotional.

Prompted by ariestess69: Prompt: Regina teaching Snow to cook.

Send me Mini prompts.

Also on AO3

“Perhaps we should have started off with something simpler,” Regina said, wincing as Snow struggled to dip the lamb into the egg batter without making a mess.  “Like pasta.”

Snow shook her head. “No, this is David’s favorite. A version of it anyway.” She craned her head to look at her late mother-in-law’s scribbles. “If only I could read Ruth’s handwriting.”

“Damn thing had the nerve to die before she could tell you the recipe,” Regina mumbled.

“Regina!” Snow exclaimed; her eyes widened.

“It was a joke, a dark joke, but a joke nonetheless,” Regina waved her off. “Focus on dipping the cutlets. And do your best to not make a mess on the countertops, you want them to be as covered as possible.”

 Snow nodded and went back to carefully trying to dip them. Regina did her best to hide a smile as she watched her, knowing all of this was very sweet. David did most of the cooking in their house, since he was a stay-at-home dad to Neal. He didn’t complain about it and made beautiful, wonderful meals. However, he had said something about one of his mother’s lamb dishes as a boy. They didn’t have it very often, only when Ruth could manage to scrounge up the ingredients. Snow had gone to Gold’s shop and luckily, he had her recipe book in the back. She decided as a surprise, they would have a nice family dinner with his favorite meal.

 The only problem was, Snow couldn’t cook. Eva had taught her to make a few Jewish dishes back when she was a little girl but that was it. She was more of a pick up Granny’s on the way home or toss a salad kind of person. So, she turned to the one person she knew of that could cook: Regina Mills. Despite having chefs growing up, her father had snuck around to teach her how to do so in the Enchanted Forest and she had taught herself quite a few meals once they all came over to Storybrooke, especially once Henry was born.

 That was how they came to stand in Regina’s kitchen one rainy Sunday afternoon, Snow in a bright pink apron that was covered in sauce, egg and flour, Regina’s royal blue one a bit cleaner though she had gained more worry lines from the experience.

 “This is all your fault,” Snow mumbled as she began to roll the cutlet onto the flour and breadcrumb mix that Regina had prepared.

Regina arched a brow. “My fault?”

“You gave Mary Margaret so many nice skills. Teaching and all that comes with it, I became so much more organized, I can balance a checkbook. Heck, I can even change a tire.” She turned to face her best friend. “But cook? I burn toast, Regina. Toast.”

Regina had to stifle a giggle. “What can I say? It was more fun to watch you blow money on overpriced lasagna.”

Snow let out an irritated groan. “You suck.”

“Oh, come on. You’re not doing so bad.”

“These look pathetic.”

“So, maybe they won’t look the same as Ruth’s. They’re also being cooked in an electric oven and you’re using eggs I bought in a grocery store. David’s going to love it no matter what, because you made it, you know that don’t you?”

Snow sighed, nodding a bit. “I do, I do. He just does so much at home and I feel guilty about it.”

“You work. You have nothing to feel guilty about.” Regina gave her a worried look, as she noticed the tears welling up in her eyes. “This isn’t like you, Snow. What’s going on?”

Snow, sighed, pulling away from the lamb and leaning against the counter. “Can you keep a secret?”

“I’m not you. So, yes.”

She realized Snow had to be really upset, because she didn’t bite back. “I’m pregnant.”

Regina’s eyes widened and a smile fell across her face. “Snow! That’s amazing!” She put her arms around her waist. “Aren’t you happy?”

“I mean, of course I am…it’s just…a lot. I’ve been so busy at work and Neal’s almost in kindergarten. I just wanted to show David I appreciate him before I tell him and I feel like I’m messing it up.”

“Oh Snow.”

 Regina pulled Snow into her arms, letting her cry. Despite never have been pregnant herself, she knew the hormones were a rollercoaster of emotions.

 “God, I know how much David loves you. The way that idiot looks at you, it’s like you hold the moon up for him. So, trust me. A few lopsided lamb cutlets…are gonna be fine.”

Snow sniffled, holding her head up a bit. “You really think so?”

“I know so.” She kissed her forehead. “I also think you’re a dummy for being newly pregnant and working with raw meat.”

Snow rolled her eyes, wiping her tears with her elbows. “If I throw up, I’ll aim for you.”

“That’s the Snow I remember.”

…a course of Edwardian dinners might well prove a sore trial today. Although Colonel Newnham-Davis consistently pleaded for more varied menus and shorter meals, this did not prevent him from ordering and eating, with evident enjoyment and approval, what seems today a perfectly astounding meal. On this occasion, his uncle, the peppery old Nabob, was bidden to dine at the Cecil Hotel, in order that it might be proved to him that a respectable curry could be had outside the portals of the East India Club. This is the menu as recorded by the Colonel and solemnly consumed down to the last friandise: Hors-d'ouvre varies Consommé Sarah Bernhardt Filet de sole a la garbure Côtes en chevreuil: Sauce poivrade Haricot verts à la Villars Pommes Cecil Mouse de foie gras et Jambon au champagne Curry à l'indienne Bombay duck, etc. etc. Asperges Bombes à la Cecil Petites friandises choisies By the time they reached the curry, which was accompanied by a whole battery of poppadoms, chutneys, and relishes, it was hardly surprising that the Nabob’s resistance had almost given out. He was only able to murmur, “Good, decidedly. I don’t say as good as we get it at the Club” - there was still a spark of spirit left in him - “but decidedly good.” It should be added that the dinner, with champagne, liqueurs, and cigarettes, cost £2.8s.6d., and that the bombe à la Cecil appeared with an electrically illuminated ice windmill as a background.

The closing to Elizabeth David’s “A Gourmet in Edwardian London”

For illuminatory purposes, that £2.8s.6d. (1900 currency value) is the equivalent to £189.57, according to the UK National Archives currency converter, which amounts to $250.22.

Consommé Sarah Bernhardt is a chicken consomme or soup thickened with tapioca, garnished with chicken quenelles, and flavored with crayfish butter, sliced beef marrow, asparagus tips, and julienned truffle

Filet de sole a la garbure is filet of sole (shocking I know) served with a French ham and cabbage/vegetable stew

Côtes en chevreuil: Sauce poivrade is basically venison (or roe deer) cutlets in a pepper sauce.

Haricot verts à la Villars is chopped green beans dipped in egg and floured and fried in clairifed butter and sprinkled with parsley

Pommes Cecil is some sort of potato dish created by and served at the Cecil Hotel (which no longer exists)

Mouse de foie gras et Jambon au champagne are basically fancy pates

Asperges is asparagus 

Bombes à la Cecil is ice cream molded into a cannonball or bomb shape and made fancy

Petites friandises choisies are small little cakes or treats to close a meal
