Kurtbastian one-shot - “Lose the Battle, Win the War” (Rated PG13)

Just when they thought the 'Elf on the Shelf' rivalry was over, along comes ... ... Peep on a Perch (975 words)

Part 52 of “Daddies”

Read on AO3

“Okay, so we have eight dozen plastic eggs …”

“Check!”

“… we have edible grass in blue, green, and pink …”

“Double check!”

“… we have three dozen Paas dye kits and seven bags of pastel M&Ms …”

“Triple quadruple check!” Thomas declares, bouncing up the walkway behind Kurt while lugging three Target bags filled with Easter treats to accompany his father’s seven, not to mention the two hanging from opposite sides of Hepburn’s vest.

“And last but not least,” Kurt says, fishing his house keys out of the right front pocket of his jeans, “we have a giant … yellow …”

Before Kurt can even get his key in the lock, the door swings open, and there stands his husband. Sebastian’s body fills the doorway, blocking Kurt and Thomas’s path inside. Kurt stares at him, startled to see him home in the middle of the afternoon when he told Kurt he had meetings all day.

“A what?” Sebastian asks, crossing his arms over his chest like a middle-aged father on curfew duty, piercing gaze hopping from one bulging Target bag to another like he suspects Kurt is smuggling something untoward in one of them.

“Uh, what are you doing home?” Kurt asks, crossing his arms in a similar fashion, bags smacking his thighs. “I thought you had a meeting.”

“I did. Over Skype,” Sebastian answers succinctly. “A giant, yellow what, Kurt?”

The tone in Sebastian’s voice – more playful than accusing – still takes Kurt back. “A giant … yellow … chick piñata.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes, really.”

“And that’s all?”

“That’s all.”

Sebastian tilts his head forward, his lips pinched in a skeptical, one-sided frown. “So, are you telling me you haven’t seen it?”

Kurt’s brow furrows. “Seen what?”

“The Peep on a Perch?”

“The who on a what now?” The lines in Kurt’s brow deepen and Sebastian knows he’s telling the truth since, in his quest to delay the appearance of the wrinkles he claims have sprouted all over his face, Kurt would never emote this much to perpetuate a lie.

“I see,” Sebastian says with an approving nod. He gives his husband another once over, focusing on the bags hanging from his arms. “And where is said piñata?”

Kurt rolls his eyes. Why his husband feels the need to interrogate him, he has no clue, but with 50 pounds of chocolate melting in the afternoon sun, he’s in no mood to continue this on the front porch. “In the back of my Navigator, Grand Inquisitor.” Kurt puts a hand on his husband’s arm and pushes him aside. “So why don’t you go be useful and move it to the back of your car, seeing as you’re taking Thomas to school tomorrow.”

“A-ha.” Sebastian watches his husband blow by him, followed by their little boy and his dog. He breaks character for a moment to tousle Thomas’s hair, but snaps right back to it when he says, “I’ll just do that.”

With an ‘over-this’ shake of his head, Kurt leads Thomas to the kitchen, resuming their conversation about the Easter goodies they bought for his school’s annual spring festival. Sebastian watches till they disappear through the door, then walks outside, closing the front door behind him. He walks straight to Kurt’s unlocked SUV and searches it – the front seats, the middle row, and the rear, climbing on his hands and knees to sweep underneath the seats. He finds the yellow chick piñata, resting on the carpeted surface of the empty trunk, but that’s all. He smiles.

“Well, well, well.” Sebastian lifts the piñata out of Kurt’s vehicle and carries it to his own. After his husband and son had left for their shopping excursion, Sebastian searched the house from top to bottom, uncovered every one of Kurt’s hiding places from the attic to the garage and found nothing. Unless Kurt rented out a storage unit somewhere, he appears to be telling the truth.

The only place Sebastian hasn’t searched is Kurt’s office at Vogue, but he’ll find a way somehow.

After all, Isabelle still owes him a favor after their last Easter fiasco.

Sebastian unlocks the rear passenger door of his vehicle and sets the piñata down carefully inside. Once that’s done, he rounds to the trunk and pops it. He shuffles a few items around. Underneath a coat, a briefcase, and a snowboard, wedged next to his gym duffel and Thomas’s Captain America lunchbox, is Sebastian’s own Target bag, wrapped tight around the box-shaped purchase inside. He peeks up over his trunk to see if Kurt is looking. When he sees he isn’t, he opens the bag and pulls out his latest acquisition.

A bright yellow Peep on a Perch.

Sebastian snickers. Okay, so he’s an ass, but he couldn’t help himself when he saw it. Yes, he’d conceded after Kurt’s attack on Valentine’s Day. Of course he did! A vengeful Kurt dressed as a six-foot-tall maniacal elf growling through blood red lips was scary af! (The sex afterwards was super hot, though!) But after giving it some thought, and laughing about it in private, the elf war they’d waged over the holidays was the most adolescent variety fun they’d indulged in in a long time. It felt like the beginning again – back when they stopped being enemies and started becoming frenemies. It was years’ long foreplay that Sebastian remembers being the best of his life, and he’s hoping to bring a glimpse of that back.

Besides, he refuses to accept defeat. Not until he’s dead.

Fitting since, after he starts this rivalry up again, Kurt may just kill him.

Sebastian looks at the stuffed yellow chick and grins thinking about its brothers and sisters, piled in shipping boxes, making their way to his house. He holds the box close to his chest, petting its hard exterior, and vibrating with glee.

“My precious …”

These cute little piñata cookies were sort of a last minute idea. I was seeing all sorts of cute decorations for Cinco de Mayo and I felt like I was missing out on the fun! I was toying around with various ideas for cookies, most involving lots of icing and decoration (and lots of time), but in the end, I decided to do something a bit more simple. Something that would be fun for the whole family.

So I made these adorable multicolored piñata cookies filled with sprinkles! They were so much fun to make and even more fun to break open. 

This would be a great last-minute activity with the kiddos or if you are throwing a Cinco de Mayo party. They only take a couple hours to make and most of that time is spent waiting for the dough to chill. 

How to Make Them

Start off by making 1 batch of my sugar cookie dough then divide that into 5 pieces. Color each piece a different color. Most piñatas are made up of blue, yellow, orange, pink, and teal.

Wrap up the balls of dough and let them chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.  

Once they are slightly chilled, roll out each color into a relatively thin sheet, about 1/8″ inch – 1/4″ inch thick. Stack the sheets on top of each other, making sure that they adhere to one another by brushing each layer with a bit of water or an egg wash. 

After you have a full stack, cut it into thirds and put each stack on top of the other. Then cut in half and place one half on top of the other until you have a nice little block of rainbow cookie dough. 

Press all the sides together to make sure that all the layers are sticking to one another. Then wrap the block up in plastic wrap and let chill for about an hour. 

Once the block is chilled, slice it into 1/2 inch slices. Roll out each slice to the desired thickness for your cookie. I prefer to roll the dough so that they colored layers become wider as the dough is rolled. 

Then cut out your cookie as desired. If you can fit more that one piñata on the slice of dough, the better. Just make sure that the lines are horizontal not verticle on the piñata. 

If you want to fill some of your cookies with sprinkles, cut out a rectangle in the belly of every third piñata. It’s a good idea to make sure that the middle cookie is on the thicker side so that you can fit more goodies. 

While the cookies are baking, make your sprinkle mix. Since I have a bunch of plain sprinkles in different colors, I just mixed up a few different varieties. I like to mix big and small round sprinkles, with jimmies and colored sugar. There wasn’t a real rhyme or reason to my mix. I just wanted a good mixture of colors similar to my piñata. 

If you don’t have lots of extra sprinkles laying around or aren’t that confident in whipping up your own mix, there are lots of premade mixes out there that would be perfect. Like this one, this one, or this one.

To assemble them, you will need a bit of royal icing in piping consistency. But only a little bit. You can make a full batch and save the rest for later.

Or you can do what I did, and cover some of the extra cookies made with the leftover scraps of dough with icing and leftover sprinkles.

While they aren’t the most perfect cookies, they are awfully fun. And even more fun to make!

Just be prepared to have sprinkles all over your kitchen!

Supplies 

Other than the sprinkles, there aren’t a lot of extraordinary supplies that you will need for these cookies. You can use whatever food coloring you have on hand, but of course, I prefer Americolor Food Gel. 

You won’t even need a special cookie cutter. I didn’t use one! But if you want to make life easier on yourself, then get this one. 

For the sprinkles, I believe all of the sprinkles used are Wilton single sprinkle packs which you can see in the photo above. I purchased my sprinkle packs at Michaels then put them into these little bead boxes so that I have my own sprinkle bento box. 

However, if you would like to make the exact same mix that I used, here’s how to replicate it:

Green jimmies (kind of a lime green color)

Yellow jimmies

Pink jimmies

Blue sparkling sugar

Yellow nonpareils

Orange nonpareils

Pink jumbo nonpareils

Orange jumbo nonpareils

Blue jumbo nonpareils

  Sprinkle Stuffed Piñata Cookies These cute little piñata cookies were sort of a last minute idea. I was seeing all sorts of cute decorations for Cinco de Mayo and I felt like I was missing out on the fun!
