#in the kitchen of all places

[klayr-de-gall]

Cas followed Dean into the kitchen. Dean didn’t look at him as he pulled a pie crust out of the fridge and flour from the cupboard to start rolling it out.

“I’m sorry,” Cas said.

Dean snorted. “Sorry’s not gonna cut it, sweetheart.”

“I know.” Cas took several deep breaths. “After that night…I asked your father for your hand. He said no.”

“I know that.”

“I was going to ask you to run away with me…but then my father called and told me about Daphne. And I knew you wouldn’t leave Sam and Adam and…I panicked. I knew that without my father’s support, we would struggle and…I didn’t realize at the time…”

“None of that makes this better, Cas. You can sit there and explain anything you want and it won’t fix a damn thing.” Dean glared at him over the counter. “You still left and you have a wife…”

“I don’t,” Cas said. “Daphne and I have been divorced for a year…we never mated.”

Dean froze. “What?”

“I came back,” Cas said. “I came back for you…please…”

There was silence in the kitchen for a long time. “You can’t ask that of me,” Dean said. “Not again.”

“I’m not asking…”

“Yes you are!” Dean threw down his pie dough. “You’re asking me to just fall into your arms because you got rid of your inconvenient wife and assumed I’d be ready to just play the swooning omega again! You thought you could just waltz back in here after twenty years of radio silence and I’d be readily available for you? You thought that none of what happened back then would matter because all I’d need to do is smell your stupid Alpha musk and I’d cream myself trying to get back in your arms?”

“No!” Cas said. “I was content to leave you alone but then I got the invitation and I thought you might be willing to give me a second chance! I know what I did is unforgivable! I know that I should have stood up to our fathers and taken you away from here! I know I should have been here to help you! I’ve spent the last twenty years regretting what I did and I just want to try and make it up to you!”

“There’s no way to make that up! You can’t just ‘make up’ twenty years of leaving me alone with no indication you really loved me and weren’t just trying to get your rocks off! You left! And no amount of apologizing is going to change that!”

“So what am I supposed to do? I have nothing in Pontiac…Claire’s the only family I have left and she’s here. And Jack’s here and you’re here and this is where I want to be…if you’ll just let me stay.”

“I ain’t stopping you.”

“Fine.” Cas moved around the counter, right next to Dean. Dean didn’t push him away, just stared at him. “I’ll be here if you just ask me to stay.”

They were silent, just staring at each other, green eyes boring into his. Cas didn’t flinch, didn’t look away, not from Dean, not from his beautiful omega, standing there smelling like warm pie and cinnamon and sunshine and home. Cas couldn’t tear himself away again, not if he tried, not if he even wanted to.

“Bastard,” Dean muttered, and then they were kissing, fiercely, passionately, teeth colliding, hands moving over each other roughly. Dean bit into Cas’s bottom lip, and Cas bit back, reaching around and grabbing Dean’s thighs to lift him up on the counter, uncaring of the copious amounts of flour spread over it.

Malevolent is just Ratatouille for people who like to hear men whimper

Witchcraft is a lot like cooking/baking.

When you think of spells as recipes, it puts in perspective why some spells are more flexible in what you use and others are not.

The best example I can think of is the chocolate chip cookie chart that shows how even the smallest difference in ingredients, temperature, and resting periods can effect the cookie. Its still a chocolate chip cookie, but the outcome will be different.

Of course you have some spells that are like mac n cheese where subsituting ingredients don't really matter bc itll still be mac n cheese.

But some are like macrons where you need the almond flour or the recipe won't work.

And both are still great! Not everyone follows the exact same recipe either, so while macrons are specific we still have chocolate macrons!

So if youre trying out a new spell and it doesn't work its okay, all recipes need adjustments eventually!

Life is hard! Consider buying my stuff!

My life isn't quite falling apart, but things have gotten really tricky lately. One housemate (and their super destructive, permanent houseguest) is refusing to pay their share of rent or utilities for the next three months, and another is refusing to pay their full share of rent for that same amount of time and is making us cover around $75 every month, and I'm having to double-up my hours at work while still being a full-time student (and also one of my professors, who we're 99% sure is using ChatGPT to generate her citations because none of them exist and we pointed this out, hates my guts and has been grading me really harshly and forcing me to go full-sail on every assignment to ridiculous degrees in order to pass this required class).

My spouse is working on getting full-time at their job, but it looks like they won't be able to until December, and we also have no idea how much rent is going to increase this year-- my guess is it's going to go up another $500, same as last year, to a total of $3,000, so things are gonna get really fucking bumpy until around January, probably.

So basically, if you like the work I've done, consider throwing me a tip on Ko-Fi or buying my stuff on Itch.io:

(Also I promise we have more stuff lined up that we want to polish and publish, life has just been super-duper fucking busy! There is so much more going on right now than what I've mentioned here, especially in terms of surprise medical bills and other horrible surprises. And we haven't forgotten about Inky Paws issue 2, either, which we're still hoping to have done by December and which will STILL always be entirely 100% free to download, no matter what our living or money situation looks like. That will never ever change, so please don't worry!)

Sebastian: What do we say when making bread?

Arthur, glumly: That's the dough rising.

Sebastian: And what do we NOT say?

Dazai, sadly: That's the yeast fucking.

youd think that my housemates would think that yelling loudly at their video games at 1am on a school night might be impolite. you’d think

I love you for single handedly keeping the VLD fandom alive for us 💜💜💜. Keep doing what you’re doing

honestly i'm just certifiably insane like this isn't even voltron anymore. we are so far past canon voltron it's not even funny. we are now fully enveloped in the KCU (klanced cinematic universe) and you all are my captive audience

People joke about ADHD all the time, even swear up and down they totally think they also have it, but then if you ask for an accommodation, to please please please provide things in fucking writing, EXACTLY what they want and need, you will even work it out WITH them, like they promised they would do — repeatedly over and over, and then you don't get it people really will fucking be like:

I am using the incorrect bathroom (TM) to place my shelving and store my things. Homegirl literally removed various sundries and toiletries from a CLOSED CABINET and SHELF because she's interested in boundaries and accountability for my mess.

I said months ago I wanted to improve things for her comfort level and needed a written list of what precisely that fucking looked like in order to achieve it and not miss anything she deemed important. I explained how ADHD works, why I needed a written reference. Why I had to have it laid out, and if something needed changing we needed to write it all out. I would've made the list myself, but they said they would make it for the whole house to hold up their end of things. And, thinking this was a very reasonable adult solution to keeping the house in good shape, I said okay, come up with the list of expectations and what is needed and that way we can update how we handle chores. Awesome. I will do that to uphold my end.

No list ever gets made or drafted or anything despite my bringing it up, knowing we need to do it, but I DO get berated for failing to meet expectations and boundaries that were never fucking provided or delivered and include "don't store toiletries in this particular bathroom because I don't like it."

I can't believe I am a goddamn adult who gets treated like an idiot child for expecting adult communication instead of snide ass passive aggressive bullshit and basic respect for my things.

Because when I fucking get home, my shelving has been removed and a cabinet emptied of my things and placed in the "correct" bathroom.

Oh shit she solved it, this doesn't look cluttered at all!

What a vast improvement to storing things in appropriate storage!
