World's Best Turkey Carver
aka the silly, stand-alone Thanksgiving crackfic that nobody asked for in my Owl House fanfic series
Camila was so pleased that she could have all three of her children home for Thanksgiving week (Principal Bump had grumbled a little bit, but had quickly given in). She had much to be grateful for. Just over a year ago, the Boiling Isles were still in danger and Camila had walked hand-in-hand with Luz through the portal Belos had opened after possessing Hunter. They were still mourning their losses, but now the biggest threats were taken care of and they had a stable connection between realms. Her children were thriving – Vee was finding a place for herself in Gravesfield, Luz and Hunter were studying magic at Hexside, and Hunter was learning about Palisman carving from Eda's dad. Best of all, the Boiling Isles paperwork officially naming Camila the mother of Vee and Hunter had finally gone through (the human paperwork was unsurprisingly more complicated given that they didn't legally exist).
"I'll need all of you to help out on Thanksgiving – I haven't hosted this many people in years! Vee, could you bake the pies and cornbread? You're so precise with the measurements and I think you're a better baker than I am now. Luz, I hope you still remember how to make some of our usual side dishes."
"What about me? What should I make?"
Her son was always so eager to help, but Camila still had nightmares about the monstrosity that he and his friends had made when they were stranded in the Human Realm. "Hunter – there's a human expression that too many cooks spoil the broth. Maybe you could help clean the house, set the table, and carve the turkey? The turkey is the most important part of Thanksgiving."
"Whatever you need, Mama Camila. You know I've been practicing my carving skills."
Camila laughed. It was good to see her son making jokes. "That you have. I love my little wooden elephant so much. I'm sure you will do an excellent job carving the turkey on Thanksgiving day too."
"I can't carve it in advance?"
"No, I'm afraid not." Someday, she really needed to teach this boy how to cook from scratch instead of just heating up leftovers or eating premade food. Fresh, home-cooked meals were still a novelty for him – apparently he'd spent much of his childhood subsisting largely on snacks and ration bars. "It will be a long day of preparations. We can do some of the baking early, but you absolutely cannot carve the turkey before Thanksgiving."
"Are you sure I can do it?" Hunter looked uncertain.
"Of course, mijo. You are the best carver in this family." Well, certainly the best woodcarver. And Camila would trust Hunter over Luz with sharp knives any day.
*****
Hunter had questions. He was aware of two kinds of turkey – a faraway country and the local bird he had sometimes encountered on walks in the woods around Gravesfield. He sincerely hoped Mama Camila wanted him to carve a bird – that was a far better match for his skills and he wasn't sure how to go about carving a country (would it need to be a three-dimensional topographic map?). The bird also seemed more likely since Thanksgiving was an American holiday (at least he was fairly sure), but he couldn't afford to mess up something so important to the human woman who had opened her heart and home to him.
Normally, Hunter's discreet source of information about the Human Realm would be his tablet, but he had accidentally shattered the screen and repairs were taking a while (the replacement glass had to be special-ordered). He decided to go to the next best thing person – his human sister Luz (this ran the risk of her teasing him about his ignorance, but Mama Camila was worth it). It didn't take long before he found her on the bottom bunk in the room she shared with Vee, rereading the latest book in the Good Witch Azura series. "Hey, Luz."
"Hey, hermano. What do you need?" She stuck a scrap of paper in her book and closed it.
"I just wanted to double check something. What kind of turkey do humans carve on Thanksgiving – the bird or the country?"
"That's a good one, Hunter! I see you're working on your sense of humor!" She laughed and went back to reading, clearly dismissing him.
Hunter left the room feeling extremely flustered and frustrated. Given how unhelpful Luz had been, he decided to ask their mom, hoping she wouldn't perceive his lack of knowledge of human customs as a sign of disrespect (Titan, he should have researched human holidays long ago – maybe then he wouldn't be in this awkward situation). "Mama Camila, the turkey you want me to carve should have wings, right?"
"Hah, of course, mijo. Are those your favorite parts?"
Hunter had never really considered which part of a bird was his favorite. He missed Flapjack's beak stroking his hair and his warm brown eye, but he did also miss seeing his bright red wings as the Palisman flew. "I'm not sure? Maybe?"
"That's ok. You should try all the parts of the turkey, and then you can let us know what you like best."
"I was planning on it, thanks." This was proving to be an odd and baffling conversation, but he knew relatively little about human woodworking traditions (and nothing about them as they related to Thanksgiving). Did some human turkey carvers just make the head or just the tail instead of the entire bird? Maybe they collaborated sometimes, with one carver doing the turkey head and body and another doing the wings and tail? That seemed terribly inefficient and complicated (how would that even work? were there multiple pieces slotted together?), but what little he knew about Thanksgiving suggested it was about coming together with loved ones. Perhaps it was supposed to be symbolic. This was the worst possible time for his tablet to be broken.
Another thought occurred to him. "About how big is the turkey, usually?"
Mama Camila frowned as she considered the question. "When it was just me and Luz, we would just order a small one. Since so many people are coming this year, we'll probably need something about this big?" She gestured with her hands, indicating something roughly twice as round as most of the turkeys he'd seen.
That would…that would take a rather large branch or log. Probably larger than what he could get from his usual supplier, especially with Thanksgiving just days away. He'd need to find something himself in the woods. At least now he had a better idea of what was expected of him.
*****
Camila was a little disappointed that Hunter had chosen not to accompany the rest of the family on their grocery run, but he had said that he needed to go to the woods to find a good-sized log. While she absolutely supported his calling to carve Palismen and understood his need to practice woodworking, she would have liked the extra time together. Some extra help carrying groceries (this year's turkey weighed over 20 pounds!) would have been nice too.
*****
Hunter didn't trust that he'd have time to get the house ready for guests and carve the turkey all on the same day, so he spent a few hours the night before Thanksgiving cleaning common areas and setting the table. Even with that out of the way, he needed to get an early start to have any shot at finishing carving the turkey in time. He would never understand human traditions – Thanksgiving seemed like it would be so much less stressful if the turkey carving could be done beforehand or if the turkeys could be reused year after year.
*****
Luz frowned as she stirred the chopped Brussels sprouts (sauteed or roasted Brussels were so much better than boiled, and anise added some nice flavor). She knew that their mom had gently redirected Hunter away from Thanksgiving cooking, but it seemed odd that he hadn't even visited the kitchen to say hello or grab a snack. "Has anyone actually seen our favorite Grimwalker today?"
Vee took the cornbread out of the toaster oven and shook her head. "I think I heard him leave the house early this morning, but I haven't seen him since. The dining room looks ready, though."
"So is the turkey." The doorbell chimed as Camila got up from checking the oven. "And there are our guests. Vee, could you please get Hunter while I see who's here?"
*****
Vee found her missing brother in his makeshift workshop in the old garden shed. "There you are, Hunter. We've been worried about you. Guests are here – it's time to carve the turkey."
"I've been carving the turkey!" Hunter answered indignantly. "I had to wake up before sunrise to carve the turkey!"
And then she saw what was on his workbench.
Oh. OH. This was…this was amazing. "Are you almost done?"
"Yes, I just need to clean up a little bit. Mama didn't say anything about painting and there wouldn't have been time for paint or lacquer to dry anyway, so I hope it's ok if it's unfinished." He brushed off his apron and gloves before removing them and put on his favorite yellow sweater.
"Oh, I'm sure she will be thrilled with this." And she would. She absolutely would (wood?). "Let's show her in the kitchen, ok? Before we take it to our guests."
*****
Mama Camila clapped a hand over her mouth and snorted. "Oh, mijo. This is the best carved turkey that I have ever seen in my life. But I think something got lost in translation."
Luz opened the oven door to reveal the fully cooked turkey inside. "This is the turkey we wanted you to carve."
"People eat turkeys?" He could feel his face turning bright red and briefly wished he had a staff handy to get as far away as possible.
His mom sensed his discomfort and lightly touched his arm. "Está bien. It was my mistake – I should have explained better. And now we have a wonderful Thanksgiving decoration to go with our meal."
Naturally, that's when Willow peeked into the kitchen. The plant witch had a remarkable talent for catching Hunter during his most embarrassing moments. "Is everything ok? Can I help?"
Mama Camila was the one to answer – Luz and Vee were still trying very hard to maintain their composure. "We're just fine, but would you mind carrying in the turkey? It's a bit heavy."
"Sure, which one?"
And then his sisters dissolved into puddles of laughter.
*****
"Whoa, excellent turkey carving!" Gus said appreciatively, looking at the wooden bird that Hunter set down on the table. "Did you make that yourself?"
"Yes, but actually I was supposed to carve that turkey." He gestured sheepishly at the roast that Willow had brought in.
"¿Por qué no los dos? " Luz asked with a grin. Amity gave her girlfriend a perplexed look. "Old Internet joke," she explained. "Extremely old. Practically ancient."
Mama Camila shot a warning glance at her daughter. "Be kind to your brother. Remember, he's the one who uses sharp tools every day." She handed Hunter a set of knives, and this time, he carved the correct bird (although not as neatly as he had carved the first – apparently woodworking skills did not translate well to serving meat).
*****
On Christmas morning, Hunter was completely unsurprised when Vee gave him an apron that proudly proclaimed its wearer to be the "World's Best Turkey Carver." He knew he would be (gently, lovingly) roasted for his misunderstanding for years to come. But that was just part of being a Noceda, and he wouldn't trade that for anything.

Thank you so much for reading! You can go here if you want to leave kudos or comment on AO3 (no need to have an account or sign in).
Happy Thanksgiving! If you celebrate, please consider looking at ways to decolonize the holiday.

Hunter-Centric Fanfic Recommendation List for The Owl House
Because keeping one huge fic list up-to-date wasn’t enough of a challenge for me, I’m back at it. And this time I’m focusing on my most recent fandom obsession, The Owl House. Specifically focusing on Hunter, our fandom’s favorite bad but sad boy.
It should be noted that my personal taste runs toward angst, so angsty fics make up a good portion of this list. That being said...
***Please observe any tags/warnings on each work before reading, as some stories may deal with triggering topics and situations***
The list will be updated periodically as I find great new stuff. Newly added fics are labeled with ++
Like my other list, this one will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be split into fics over 10k words in length and those under 10k words.

hej wszystko okej? bo dawno nic nie pisałaś ://
tak, potrzebowałam kilka dni reset off bo środa i czwartek mnie przygniotły (objadanie sie) ale pochwalę się że piątek, sobota, niedziela i poniedziałek poszły super w kwestii jedzenia także jeśli dziś pójdzie dobrze to mamy 5. dzień bez binge
jedyne co mnie martwi to że mam bardzo mało siły i wręcz czuje się jakbym znów jadła po 800kcal dziennie a jem po 1800-2000 także nie wiem o co chodzi, zazwyczaj przechodzi po wypiciu energola lub kawy także katuje się teraz tym
wracam też z foodbookami (przestałam już katować codziennie rano omleta)
dziś na śniadanie zjadłam pół bułki, paprykę czerwona i jajecznicę z serem proteinowym, do tego kawa na mleku migdałowym
na deser była mini jagodzianka bo chciałam słodkiego cos zjesc

For the ask game, 3, 4, and 20 please :D
3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?
Angst, angst, angst, angst! Sometimes mixed with dark comedy. The kind of angst in which the blorbos are solely responsible for their own misery.
I do love it when my blorbos are pieces of garbage. *cracks knuckles* I could make them worse
4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?
Oh boy, okay, that is a super difficult question because there are so, so many. I don’t think I can do justice to all the amazing writers I admire, but here’s a (definitely too short) alphabetical list of people who make the blorbos act perfectly in character, complicate their lives, and do it in magnificently skilful ways:
babel
cleanwhiteroom [the author of the most amazing Pacific Rim fic with worldbuilding so complex they even delved into the impact of kaiju attacks on research grants and the structures of academia; unfortunately, afaik, this person has been chased off ao3 for the most ridiculous reason imaginable, that is: for queerbaiting in a fic that was actually just a slow burn]
elliptical
Hella Jelena
Jagodzianka
Schildkroete
SmolWhiteWolf
spacebrock
Vee_hee_hee
WabiSabi
WalkingIvy
20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of
I’ve answered that one, but it was an ask by a person who’s in The Owl House fandom, and since we’ve encountered each other in the Re-Animator one, I intend to cheat and pick yet another four sentences.
Three years from now, squirming under the prosecutor’s gaze and carefully avoiding Herbert’s, Dan will say he cares about the defendant a lot, but it doesn’t change the fact that all of it was Dr. West’s doing. At least half of his statement will be true.
[Mourning Sickness]
“Of Herbert West, I can only speak with mild annoyance,” Dan tells the police. "He mostly keeps to himself."
[a Re-Animator WIP in which Dan is trying to figure out whether Herbert killed Rufus]

Yesterday I found out my first choice uni accepted me for my preferred program (!!!), so today I delivered and signed all the papers and now I'm officially a chemistry student! :) Classes start in October. I have over two months to rest and recharge, but I'm already pretty excited and can't wait to start uni.
Pictured: a heavenly jagodzianka I had at my favorite vegan place today and another Dostoevsky novel I'm falling in love with.

Idzie mi podjerzanie dobrze. Przespałam śniadanie i zjadłam tylko jagodzianka rano (taka własną więc mało kcal) żeby matura się nie czepiała. Wykupiłam się obiadem u babci bo nie jem mięsa i mleka więc same ziemniaki z ogórkiem zjadłam a później arbuza i pomidora.

Series: Part 1 of phantom limb pain Nimonaverse
Summary:
Ballister woke to the incessant beeping of machines and entirely too bright lights. Something was restraining him and he yanked it off instinctually, tripping even more frantic alarms.
Almost before he could finish sitting up — fuck, why did his ribs hurt so much? — there was a light hand on his (flesh and bone) arm and he was greeted by a familiar (but bandaged) face.
He blinked and then it all came back. His betrayal. Nimona's suicide attempt. The cannon. Nimona-the-firebird on a suicide run. A million pink sparkles that turned to ash in his hands.
Something dark and heavy — like dread but not aimed at anything in particular — flooded his chest and churned deep in his stomach.
or
It's not just Ballister's arm that's missing and hurting him.

I followed you here from your hands, grasping fic on AO3 and was hoping you could please point me to the additional context that you mentioned. Thanks so much! - Jagodzianka on AO3
P.S. I also wanted to thank you for commenting on some of my fics a while back. Rereading your comments absolutely helped me get through some writer's block and l am incredibly grateful!
Aaaaaa my goodness! First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH for the lovely comment you left on the fic!! That and this ask were so nice to wake up to!! Especially when they're coming from such a talented and amazing writer as yourself!! I'm really glad my comments were helpful, and let me tell you every word of praise was very much deserved uvu
But oh yeah of course! Though it's less "point to" and more "tell you right here" because thus far the context has just been living in my google docs :D So it happens directly before the fic itself, because what happened was I came up with one scene, but then for some unfathomable reason when I wrote it down I only wrote what hands, grasping has?? And not this?? Instead I wrote this later, and by then the fic itself was already in a whole different style, and it was a whole mess. But yeah, here it is! (It's from the google doc so sorry for the lack of proper punctuation!)
_
Further context: maybe a couple of days after they go through the portal in thanks to them, the group’s looking for something, someone, anything, and have made their way to the head, or whatever remains of it now. perhaps a part of the place they were exploring collapses and luz and hunter are separated from the rest.
they try to find a way back to the others, but something happens - maybe it’s some sort of beast that tries to attack them, maybe it’s a trap belos had set to keep unwelcome visitors from his portal that’s somehow remained intact, idk, but there’s a moment where, be it a fight or a trap, hunter takes a hit heading for luz and while she neutralizes whatever caused it, he’s kinda. flung over to a fun little cliff that’s the edge of a chasm that had appeared when the collector was remodeling the place, and luz just barely manages to grab his hand as his grip on the edge fails, and thus where we’re at now
"It… it can't hold us both." his breaths are not fast and panicked - he is making a visible effort to keep them even, but the terror is otherwise crystal clear. his voice shakes as he speaks. she sees him observe the strained vines gripping her legs; the cliff she can feel crumbling beneath her. there's an underlying note of something like resignation in his voice. she doesn't get it, until his eyes flicker to her hands gripping his and back to her and then she does.
"N-no", she says, commands almost, like by just saying it she could will it into existence and banish that thought out of his head. she doesn't have the strength to try to pull them up anymore - she can only hold on. her eyes burn. "But- but what about Flapjack? He saved your life for a reason! You can't just… give up!"
"Maybe it was for this reason", he says, his voice somehow so small and his eyes wide and afraid, chest heaving with shallow breaths, and in that moment all she wants is to hug him because he looks so young-
and he has the gall to, for just a split second, smile a trembling smile even through the terror, as though he was fine with it, as though giving his life for someone just like that was a victory, and the words are almost even as he swallows and says: "If it was, I'm… I’m glad."
(but then - the mindscape, the countless cracked masks - maybe to him it was, to one made to be used and to die and to be replaced, maybe it was a victory to die for something he chose himself, something that mattered, for someone important to him—)
(all that the fear in his eyes, the shallow breaths, the tremble in his smile, the way his hands desperately grip hers, white from the pressure, fingers digging into her skin, all of it screams I WANT TO LIVE—)
a horrible crack echoes throughout the cavern and dust rains down. his eyes flit away, to whatever cracks have appeared into the rock, but she can't bring herself to look away from his face. it blurs behind a stinging film of tears.
_
And then hands, grasping follows directly from here. There is also a little bit of what happens after, but I won't add it here, it's long enough as is ajdsafas. Please don't hesitate to ask more about it though, I love talking about my fics haha.
Thank you for the comment, the ask, and I hope you enjoyed! :)
