sweet like honey ꒰ tangled hearts series - kiribaku x fem!reader ꒱ ⇢ you and kirishima organize a small dinner to celebrate bakugo's 31st birthday.

꒰ tags & content ꒱ fluffy & tooth-rotting fluff for kat's birthday ♡ cross posted to ao3 // wc; ~1.1k ✿ tangled hearts masterlist ✿

Trying to plan a surprise was literally impossible in the Kirishima-Bakugo household. The house was always in pristine condition, everything in it's proper place and able to be located without a second thought. If something was moved or used, there was a 95% chance Bakugo would notice, no matter what it was - his favorite spatula, a random mug, and even a specific set of towels in the bathroom. He had the house mapped in his mind down to the last non-existent dust bunny in the foyer.

By some miracle, Bakugo believed Kirishima was taking him out to dinner for his birthday and didn't invite you along. Sure, they needed their time alone together too, but most of the time, Bakugo was the one making sure you were included in their plans. It all worked out in your favor, though. Earlier in the week, you’d texted the both of them to trick Bakugo into thinking you wouldn’t see him Saturday.

the lion, the witch & the gym bro ❤️💖🧡 [you] hey babes! are you guys free saturday for dinner? [katsu 🐯🧡] what kinda fuckin’ group name is that?! i better be the lion [katsu 🐯🧡] and sorry baby, eiji's made plans for us [eiji 🥊❤️] i think it’s cute 😜 [eiji 🥊❤️] sorry love! we can meet up for breakfast on sunday though 💕 [you] that's okay! yes, kats, you're the lion lol. breakfast on sunday it is 💖

Kirishima was fully aware of your plan, ecstatic that you wanted to do something so sweet for Bakugo. He’d told you how all of his past surprise parties had failed for him - he couldn’t keep the excitement to himself and would fold before the party happened. You had to do a little work to be sure he wouldn’t spill the beans this time, too. Nothing a few sweet kisses couldn’t fix, promising to reward him for keeping quiet.

A quick trip to the grocery store and plenty of recipe research later, you had everything you needed to make the dinner. Kirishima mentioned that you’d have about half an hour to set up and get everything ready, so most of the cooking would need to be done in your apartment. It was simple, a mish-mash of his favorites; mapo tofu, cooked salmon with a honey garlic glaze and some grilled vegetables. You thought about using Bakugo’s home grown veggies, but that would have given away the surprise if he saw them go missing that morning.

Cooking went surprisingly easier than you thought it would. Creating the glaze for the salmon was honestly the hardest part, but you're proud of how it looks and smells, the fish cooked with a perfect sear. Your kitchen smells incredible and it's sad that the aroma won't be fully following you to their home.

Just when you're putting everything in the oven to keep warm, you get a text from Kirishima.

[eiji 🥊❤️] we’re leaving the house now! you’re clear to head over in five minutes [you] thanks eiji! i’ll pack up and head over.

When you arrive at their house, you park around the corner to be sure Bakugo doesn't see your car before he goes inside. Your unloading the food onto the kitchen counter when your phone buzzes three times, one from Kirishima and two from Bakugo, outside of your group chat.

[eiji 🥊❤️] headed home, kats is a little grumpy lol. see you in 15!

[katsu 🐯🧡] eiji fucked up our reservation and we're headed home [katsu 🐯🧡] if ya wanna come over. miss you sweets

'Oh, if only he knew,' you thought, smiling to yourself. You don't respond and place your phone back on the counter.

With the food in the oven to warm up, the table set, the lights off, and Bakugo's present on the counter, you were ready for them to walk through the door any moment now. Kirishima warned you that Bakugo was upset, but you're confident his mood will do a 180 once he sees the true plan.

The front door opens, accompanied by shoes hitting the floor and keys hitting the table in the entry way.

"Can't believe they messed up the reservation," you hear Bakugo complain, grumbling to himself. "Stupid ass fancy place can't keep their books straight."

"I know, I'm sorry baby," Kirishima apologizes, looking toward the kitchen to catch your eye. "But I think you'll prefer to be home, anyways."

Bakugo's about to question why when you walk out of the kitchen and into view, hair pulled back in a neat ponytail and wearing his favorite pretty black dress.

"Happy birthday, Katsuki! Hope you're hungry, we've got plenty waiting for you."

You're expecting him to burst out laughing, make a snarky comment, or roll his eyes with a smirk on his face, but none of that comes. He stands there, awestruck with a gleam in his carmine stare while his lips curl into a genuine smile.

"You two really did all this for me?" Bakugo asks, looking back and forth between you and Kirishima.

"Of course, Kat. You deserve to be spoiled! Come on, dinner is ready." You take his hand and lead him into the kitchen, pulling out his normal chair at the table. Kirishima follows, helping you prep three plates of food and delivering them to the table. After you place Bakugo's plate down in front of him, he grabs your face and tugs you back into his bubble to kiss you.

"Thank you," he whispers, nuzzling your nose before letting you go. He repeats then sentiment to Kirishima as well, giving him a peck on his forehead before he joins the table. "Both of you."

The three of you devour every bite of dinner - it turned out absolutely fantastic, ending with Bakugo asking you for the recipe you used for the salmon. That's the highest compliment coming from him, knowing that he's going to take the original and hit the ground running with a version of his own.

"One more thing for you, Kats!" you exclaim, grabbing the gift bag from the counter. Bakugo takes the present from you, rustling through the orange tissue paper. When he pulls out the brand new gardening tool kit, including some vegetable and flower seeds, his eyes sparkle with delight.

"I know you more than likely have a set already, but it never hurts to have a back up!"

Bakugo sets the bag on the counter and scoops you into a tight hug.

"Thank you, princess. I appreciate it."

Kirishima struts over, patting him on the back. "Maybe our little goddess here could help you plant the new seeds! Now that you have two sets, you could teach her how you tend to the garden."

"That's a great idea, Red. We can start soon with spring in full swing."

You couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. Seeing Bakugo's smile is all you ever wished for. He was glowing for the rest of the night, giddy over the idea of teaching you all about his gardening ways in the coming weeks.

Safe to say, it was a successful birthday.

Tricky Eater

Baby Ducky AU

Baby Ducky Masterlist

an: here is a start to the baby ducky au. i’m working on writing up a thing that explains more. but here’s the easiest explanation:

single dad!Jamie, Uncle Trevor, and Nanny!reader

make sense?

Enjoy!

Kinsley wasn’t really a picky eater, she was more of a difficult eater. When it came time for lunch or dinner, she would show signs that she was hungry, but when it came down to actually feeding her, it was a mission of it’s own.

“Nnn” The dark haired child clamped her lips shut and moved her mouth away from the green goo that her father was trying to feed her. After one bite of the green stuff and she was done, no more for her.

“Come on you.” Jamie continued to follow the spoon with her head movements. “I know you’re hungry. It’s green beans tonight. You liked green beans last time you ate them.”

“Mmnn.” She furrowed her brow like a child her age would do. She wasn’t going to eat any more.

“What? Does it not taste good? Do you want something else?” Jamie took a little bit of the baby food on his pinkie finger and tasted it for himself. He scrunched his nose, much like his baby girl did moments earlier. “Yeah you're right it is gross. I wouldn’t voluntarily eat it either.” 

“She not eating again?” Trevor emerged from his room for the first time that day, most likely looking for food himself.

“Took one bit and refused everything else I’ve given her.” 

 “You try the whole airplane or wheels on the bus thing?”

“Yes. I’ve tried everything I know, Z. How does Y/N get her to eat? She can’t be this difficult for her.” Jamie wondered aloud how the Y/N, the nanny, did it. She must have been a magician or something.

“Through drastic measures. I’ve only seen her do this one time.” Trevor went to the cupboard to retrieve that bag of mini Kit Kats. Opening the bag he held one out for the baby duck who opened her mouth to receive it, only Trevor swooped in and placed the mushed up green beans into her mouth instead of the sweet treat.

“No shit.”

“Mmmnnnn.” Kinsley glared at glared at her uncle while eating the mush. She tried to spit it back out, but Trevor scooped it off her chin and back into her mouth.

“You’ll thank us one day Kins.” Trevor laughed lightly handed to spoon and the chocolatey treat back to Jamie so he could finish tricking his child into eating the rest of her dinner. 

Please let me know what you think! Also if anyone has any suggestion for shenanigans for this weird family let me know!

[newtonsheffield]

Can I give him a high five before we go?" Edmund asked his glasses held on with little straps, his hand already stretched out pressing against the swell of her stomach for several seconds before he whispered. "High five."

No because I’m actually crying. Little Neddy is the sweetest and I love how excited he always is when his Amma is pregnant and he gets a new little uncle Greg or auntie Eddie

Oh this little Neddy would be such a sweet little bean as well.

Imagine him hanging out with his Uncle Greggy. Gregory walking around with his adorable Nephew at 18 because as it turns out: Ladies love cute babies and his nephew is a fucking cutie.

Neddy perched up on his Uncle's shoulders, with his little elbows resting on the top of Gregory's head, chin resting on his hands.

"Ready, buddy?" Gregory asks, patting his leg.

"Yup!"

"She's just up here, and what are you going to say?"

Edmund grins, "I'm going to ask her if she wants to get Ice cream with us."

"Excellent! Yes, Buddy!" Gregory puts his hand up for a high five.

"Can I get three scoops?"

Gregory sighs, "How about I get you two scoops and we stop at the cinema and get popcorn before I drop you off to Papa and Amma?"

"Deal." Neddy grins, sticking his little hand out to shake, Gregory shaking his head at his nephew, three years old and already a master manipulator.

And suddenly his heart stops, because there she is, sitting on the grass ahead of them in the middle of a picnic blanket, her straight, dark hair shining in the sunlight her brow furrowed as she jots something down in a notebook her study materials set out meticulously in front of her just the way they always were. Lucy Abernathy. The love of his fucking life.

"Showtime, Neddy Teddy, big smiles." Gregory cleared his throat. "Fit check, we look cute right? Cool?"

"Han Solo Cool."

"I have taught you so damn well! Okay, here goes." Gregory cleared his throat, raising his voice a little. "Hey, Lucy!"

She turned slowly towards him, her hair blowing lightly in the breeze, a distracted sort of smile on her face as she took him in, her eyes shining up at him. "Gregory, hey." Her smile grew as she waved up at Edmund, who was grinning down at her, waving, one of his elbows resting on Gregory's head still. "Who's your mini me?"

Gregory grinned, "This is my oldest brother's son, Edmund."

"My Papa's Anthony!" Edmund said proudly. "And my Amma's name is Katieeeeee Kat."

Lucy bit back a smile. "Well it's nice to meet you, Edmund. I'm Lucy, Your Uncle Gregory and I go to uni together."

Edmund nodded, his little legs dangling feet banging against Gregory's chest, sending his spiderman shoes flashing "Uncle Greggy told me."

Gregory winced, trying to salvage the situation with a shrug. "He's my best buddy."

"I'm Neddy!" Edmund chirped, "Edmund was my Papa's Papa and i have his name but everyone calls me Neddy. Neddy Apollo Bridgerton."

"Apollo." Lucy said a little bemusedly, still smiling kindly up at him. "That's such a special name Neddy."

Gregory shrugged again as Edmund grinned proudly, nodding. "My brother thought it sounded cool, and his wife, Kate: Literally the coolest woman I've ever met just let him have it because he wanted it so badly."

Lucy chuckled. "They sound like a cute couple."

"They're pretty great." Gregory agreed as his eyes caught with Lucy's something hanging in the air between them.

"My Amma's having a baby!" Neddy said proudly, startling Lucy.

"Oh my gosh Neddy!" Lucy gasped. "That's so special, you must be so excited!"

"Uhuh! I'm gonna be a big brother! And then me, and the new baby can have Uncle Greggy day together!" Neddy said excitedly, getting a little carried away. "He takes me to see movies, and one time, he came with me and Papa and Amma and Auntie Eddie and Uncle Goose and Auntie Hy to Disneyland with my Gramma Mary when it was my birthday, and he bought me a brand new Donald."

Fucking yes, Neddy, buddy, you are nailing it!

Lucy's smile was growing, "No way! Neddy that's amazing! How many did you turn?"

"Three!"

"Well, your Uncle Greggy's pretty cool isn't he?"

"He's the best. He's my favourite of all my uncles."

Gregory made a note to niggle his brothers about that later.

"And what are you handsome boys doing today?"

Gregory's heart stopped, his mind reeling at the word handsome

"We're getting ice cream!" Edmund crowed. "You wanna come? Uncle Greggy wouldn't mind!"

Gregory's heart was pounding in his chest as her eyes turned back to him, catching again a small smile on her face.

"I don't... Know I'm supposed to be studying."

Gregory scoffed, "As if you don't already know it all! Come on Lucy, come het ice cream with us."

"Yeah Lucy! Come get ice cream with us!" Neddy chimed in.

Lucy bit her lip considering carefully before she smiled softly. "Yeah, okay."

Gregory screamed internally, waiting for Lucy to turn her back before he gave his Nephew a high five, his heart pounding as he snatched Lucy's bag up. "I'll carry your things!"

And it kept being the best day of his life until he dropped Edmund home, an enormous bucket of popcorn from the cinema under his arm and his nephew chirped. "Amma! Uncle Greggy got me to trick a girl into being his girlfriend!"

And his sister in law spun towards him with with her eyes wide. "Uncle Greggy did what?"

@arrachnes asked: " kukuku. daisuke. i heard that you enjoyed those confectionery treats. cookies, yes?" it would have been sweet! it would! if naraku didn't present the boy with a massive bag of (stolen) sweets of all flavors. and, of course, makes no mention of how he procured them. " eat. "

it wasn't all that odd for children to enjoy sweets , right ? even daisuke's own mother had occasionally lectured him over things like balancing out his nutrition and maintaining a proper diet --- and yet , macarons , cream-puffs , madeleines and more , these soft tea-time sweets imported from european coutries had readily made themselves at home about azumano's shops and cafes in a way that was hard to ever resist .

in his imagination , someone like naraku-san would probably have been privy to give him something like a small , bite-sized pack of konpeito or even more traditional senbei --- it's a surprise then that an entire shop's stock's worth of treats practically fall into his grasp . ' ... bwuh ? '

at first , the boy's eyes merely bulge at its over-indulgent size . had naraku robbed santa claus or stolen a tucked away hoard by the tooth fairy or something ? w-well , everything looked fine and perfectly untouched , so if naraku didn't feel like sharing and telling a story about its acquisition , then daisuke wouldn't ask ! ( any thief knew better ... ! )

besides , he really can't help the faint sense of salivation that strikes him too . i-in any case , children were supposed to obey adults , right ? so when naraku says to eat , he wouldn't have been doing anything wrong by eating ! ( ... at least just a little bit . ) maybe there was something really good in here , like those mini-cakes that were always sold out ...

although he's already curiously digging through the other's gift to him , in the end , daisuke seems to be struck by a certain epiphany . the realization leads him to smile and laugh a little up at the other all of the sudden . ' --- ah . naraku-san , thank you ... ! but this is , um , a little much ... ' a hand pulls out sweet red bean manjuu , kit-kats and matcha flavored chocolates .

' let's share ! last time , when i made those cookies for you , you really liked them ... so i'm sure you'll like trying out some of these things with me , too ! ' if they went through the bag together , then they could also figure out what to get for each other later ... and as naraku was still someone who more or less mystified the red-headed niwa , daisuke would have appreciated deepening his apparent understanding of the other .

last december my friend Kayoko came to visit and now, six months later, husband prime and i have finally got round to trying the collection of Japanese Kit-Kats she brought us. Here are our findings. 

First, the subjects: 

the flavours aren’t clear on all of them, but with the aid of google translate we have, starting at the top left and going across

top row: strawberry, milk tea, coffee 

middle row: orange, standard kit kat, cheesecake 

bottom row: pistachio, whole wheat, matcha (green) and dark chocolate (”adult sweetness” is the translation of the label, lol) 

tastings below the cut

the first one we tried was milk tea. Japanese milk tea is black tea brewed in milk and sweetened with plenty of sugar. Slightly reminiscent of builder’s tea in the UK in that it’s strong and sweet, but milk tea is creamier. 

the milk tea kit kat was very sweet to start, but the tea flavour was definitely noticeable at the end and lent a richness and depth to the white chocolate (which i generally don’t care for). Very good. 9/10 would eat again. 

kit kat two was pistachio.

now, i love pistachio in all its forms so i was looking forward to this one. Sadly, the pistachio flavour was very mild, almost undetectable. Still very tasty but a slight disappointment. 6/10

next is strawberry

another white (or rather pink) chocolate version. This one was very aromatic with a strong strawberry punch. Definitely artificial strawberry but a light and fresh one, not at all cloying. Personally i love fruit flavours in candy and so i really enjoyed this. 8/10

cheesecake is next

not super strong in the cheese flavour, but light and pleasant. It would be good paired with the strawberry actually. 5/10

next, orange

if you’ve ever had a Terry’s Chocolate Orange the flavour of this kit kat will be familiar to you. They’re almost exactly the same. So, delicious. Nice to have a bit of light crunch with the Terry’s flavour actually. 7/10

next, coffee

we weren’t certain at first if this was coffee flavour or just “coffee break” and it was a pretty strong chocolate flavour to start but with a definite hint of coffee at the end. Very nice, and probably would be good with a cup of coffee. 7/10

next is what google translate concluded was whole wheat

this one was fantastic. Very light and crunchy but with texture to the crunch, not too sweet with a caramelly, biscuity flavour in the chocolate. i thought it was a bit like a white chocolate digestive might be, husband prime likened it to a custard cream. Either way, fab. 10/10 i am going to be craving this one. 

next, dark chocolate

or “adult sweetness” according to the translation app. Saucy 😏. Dark chocolate isn’t my favourite but this was very good. Had a nice bitter edge without being overwhelming and also very rich. Good stuff. 8/10

standard kit kat

it’s a classic for a reason, and the japanese version has richer chocolate than you get in either the UK or US, with a lot of depth of flavour. Hard to go wrong. 7/10

last and definitely least, matcha

look, i know matcha has its adherents but you’re all wrong and have terrible taste. i tried proper matcha prepared by trained experts when i lived in japan and it was good, if a bit grassy for me personally. Very good when paired with some of their traditional sweets (sweet bean paste my beloved) but when it comes to flavouring other things? Ugh. No. Gross. Why do you want your ice cream to taste like lawn clippings? 

this kit kat did not taste like lawn clippings. It tasted, in husband prime’s words, like fish food (DON’T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS he made sure to add). Anyway, it was nasty. If you like matcha you might like it, idk, who can say what horrors your palate will tolerate. But for me it was only redeemed by the sweet crunch and the fact that the matcha flavour only came out at the end. 1/10.

the scores out of 10 obviously are based on my personal taste though i tried to be objective, hence the high rating of the dark chocolate. The following is my preference ranking, from first to worst

1. whole wheat

2. milk tea

3. strawberry

4. pistachio 

5. orange 

6. coffee

7. dark

8. standard 

9. cheesecake 

sir not appearing in this ranking, it knows what it did: matcha 

this was fun, and if anyone has a source for black market whole wheat kit kats... call me.

Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone! I've decided to put together Halloween costumes for Wicked Reqiuem! Remember to stay safe out there! Credit to @saitama-division for the idea and pictures!

Yuriko - Morticia Addams

"Kaoru and Kanra managed to convince me to dress up this year. I think they had this planned for a while because they put together a PowerPoint on why I should dress up for Halloween. I agreed on one condition I chose my own costume and who better than the matriarch of one of the creepiest families around? Now then here's a special treat for the occasion."

You received a treat!

Matcha Kit Kats. Crisp cookie wafers are drenched in smooth white chocolate infused with sweet matcha green tea flavor for a delicious twist on a candy classic.

Kaoru - Athena

"Behold mortals the wise Athena has decided to grace your presence! Hahaha! Bet ya wasn't expecting this! I wasn't sure what to go as. So I asked Lola from Saitama for an idea and well here I am. It's more revealing than I'm used to but I got this spear in case someone gets a little handsy. I built it myself and I'll gladly show off how dangerous it can be. Oh, right here's a little something to keep you awake all night!"

You received a treat!

Chocolate-Covered Expresso Beans. Filled with enough caffeine to keep you up all night. This candy combines the creamy taste of chocolate with the bold taste of espresso for a wonderful combination. Perfect for coffee lovers.

Kanra - Alice (In Wonderland)

"I've always loved this book! So it made sense to go as the main character. A young girl in a world she knows so little about.......story of my life......Ah! Sorry got lost in my mind for a minute there. Oh yeah, I was told to give you this. Now, if you excuse me there's a certain rabbit in Yokohama that this Alice needs to visit for a trick."

You received a treat!

Cherry Devil Lollipops. Red lollipops shaped like mini devils. Don't let their appearance fool you. They pack quite the punch with how sour they are.

Bonus! A.D.A - Vampire

"BOO! Hehehe~ Miss Kaoru has allowed me to answer the door when trick-or-treaters come by the house. She even modified my hologram form to allow me to dress up. So for not being scared take this as your prize."

You received a treat!

Bat Gummies. They are bat-shaped gummies that ooze violet when bitten into. A treat for approaching the Edogawa household with no fear.
