Tis the Season For Love CCC: This gingerbread house just WON'T stay up!
Happy holidays everyone!
I decided to participate a bit in this holiday creative challenge, hosted by @xxsycamore and @voltage-vixen!
Won't be doing all of them or in any particular order as it is a busy holiday season for me, but I thought this we would be a fun one to do and to share.
Below the cut is also a lil drabble I wrote for the prompt.
And thanks again for hosting this event! See you guys on the next round!

"This gingerbread house just WON'T stay up!"
Harr startled a little, hearing the familiar voices to Maddie and Loki in the kitchen. He had been researching Cradle holiday traditions for Maddie and didn't wanna interrupting his two students bonding over holiday projects, but he couldn’t ignore a cry for help as blatant as that.
Peeking inside the door, he saw a mess of broken gingerbread pieces, candy cane shards, and buttercream frosting smatterings across the kitchen table. In the table's center was, what he could guess, was a gingerbread replication of his house, supporting tree and balcony included, recreated with sweet treats. Except that it was laying on its side, frosting dripping sadly.
Harr hid a smile behind his hand, cooling his expression before entering, taking in the defeated faces of Loki and Maddie, both in states of hard battled baking warfare. Where one had flour in their hair, the other also had frosting on their nose and cheeks. Harr waved his hand lazily, his visible eye glowing red, and both his students were cleaned up of their baking warfare.
Maddie was the first to respond, her red cap jingling as her head moved.
"Thanks, Harr."
Loki pouted, looking at the remains of his and Maddie's 'house'.
"It was gonna look so cool, making the house out of gingerbread."
"We might… have been a little ambitious." Maddie said, smiling awkwardly.
Harr studied their handiwork, his bandaged hand resting under his chin as the thought.
"And we thought we could do it without magic, but… well.." Maddie continued, "you see how well that turned out."
"Hmm…." Harr said, choosing his words carefully as was his way. "I commend you for trying without magic, both of you."
"But," he continued, "I think, a little magic can help, if you really want to recreate the house."
"The point was to try and not use magic though!" Loki said, "but…. Yeah. It definitely needs some help."
Harr's eye glowed red once again, familiar runes and circles forming at his fingertips, the house soon having a stronger base of gingerbread, the winding staircase and railings made new with their candy cane decorations, and frosting soon looked like snow on the roof and the tree branches. Both Maddie and Loki looked on in awe. Harr smiled.
"I did build this house with magic helping me, so it wouldn't be cheating if you two had used some to help you too. It's just as much a tool as any other."
"It looks so amazing!" Maddie said, her eyes sparkling. "How did you do that?"
"Well, I did come across something just now that might help you to recreate the spells, if you-!"
He was then hugged from two sides, bright eyes looking up at him expectantly. He felt his cheeks heating up at the sudden attention.
"Clean up the kitchen first, then I'll teach you."
He was then released from his hug shackles, watching his two students clean up what remained of the gingerbread house making ingredients. With a small smile, Harr went back to his study, picking up a thick red tome and started skimming the pages.

"Mister", she said. Dad, she meant.
The constellation who doesn't yet have a name. Shin Yuseung was well aware of who it was referring to. 'Mister.' It was only a gaze but in fact, many people died because there wasn’t a 'gaze' at an important moment. In that sense, Shin Yuseung was lucky.
[The constellation who doesn't yet have a name is nodding.]
Shin Yuseung received the attention of only one person in the world and stepped forward.

happy wincest wednesday (in your timezone)
buds, I hope you're feeling the holiday vibes regardless of whether it's actually Wednesday. Unforch I am Sick and so I can't be a good participatory bud and send fun asks back and forth this week -- like I doubt the ol' brain will be much up for that -- so I encourage you guys to do it up with sending asks and reading wincest fic and reblogging wincest art, whatever floats your boat.
and if you want to be nice to me this wincest wednesday, maybe you can rb this post with a wintry wincest headcanon (silly or angsty or sexy, whatever you want)!
