Onto some new SuperThings OCs, with new themed teams, starting up with the leaders that I had to have for today!
King Pastry "Lead the way!" Parade Spotlight A tasty SuperThing Captain, King Pastry knows how to party! Throwing lavish parades with beads and floats, he brings the distractions, but also brings the joy! His ability lets him put someone else in the spotlight, making for convenient escapes or combat tactics.
Yay Beignet "Let the good times roll!" Bon Temps King Pastry's rival. He is the king's jester, and the only one that is allowed to brazenly insult him. However, all of his insults have a level of truth, as mocking as they might be. While that's the point of being a good jester, that's also part of his ability: he can automatically lift moods, no matter the situation. While this might seem like a power meant for a hero, he instead takes advantage of it to have fun for himself. King Pastry doesn't mind though, the two are good friends.

Guess who unwillingly read a smut work again? Yay 😑. (It was the first thing I saw when I first woke up. I started this at 7 am yesterday morning.) I will admit that it was kinda on me this time for not having the Miguel smut tag blocked but there was nothing that could've led me to believe that it'd be smut in the first place so my point still stands. Label your smut works.
TW: More pet names and nicknames. (I am a romantic aromantic I'm so sorry 😔) This is a loose continuation of the previous one.
You were awaken, unfortunately, by the jarring sounds of your morning alarm. You groggily look over to surprised to see your beloved s/o Hobie Brown still dozing away. Usually he'd sleep in his own room but you both had decided to have a sleepover the night before. At least this meant that you didn't have to make a trip to go and wake him.
"Bie." You shake him lightly. You only get a groan. "C'mon Bie you gotta get up."
"Just five more minutes." You thought about taking him up on his offer but, history has shown that this only led to you both sleeping in till noon. You had plans for the day and they required the both of you to be up at 8. Unfortunately Hobie had no plans on budging. Usually you'd gently ease him awake but time was ticking away. You had to take a more direct approach.
Begrudgingly you leave the comforts of your warm bed and head towards a window. If you weren't awake before the cold air had woken you up now. You open the curtains to let the sunlight pour in and wrestle the covers from his arms. (At least you knew that if a criminal attacked in the early morning Hobie would be fine. Unfortunately your blanket was not.)
"UGGGGGGH." He groaned as he tried to shield his eyes with his hand.
"Nope. I can't leave you here. You'd never get up before one if not for me."
Hobie grumbled something about time being a concept and moved his hand away.
"Bug must you torture me like this?"
You give him a tired giggle.
"I'm sorry Bie but it was the only way."
He sits up and yawns. This was a good sign. Hopefully he'd soon make his way to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Hopefully.
"I'm gonna get started on breakfast. Please at least be out of bed before I get back." You wait for his reply.
He wipes the sleep from his eyes and nods. You head to the kitchen.
You pop a couple frozen beignets in the oven and throw the rice that you prewashed into a pot. By the time the rice had finished Hobie had emerged from the bathroom much more chipper than before.
"The bathroom's all yours." He gives you a wink.
"I leave the rest to you sir." You give him a mock salute and he rolls his eyes. Quickly you make your way to the bathroom.
****************************************************
You turn the water on and throw on a clear shower cap over your neon purple bonnet. You take note of Hobie's matching neon pink one laying on the vanity. He hated it when you first bought it for him. Yet, without fail he wire it every night. Whenever you offered to buy him another he refused absolutely offended that you even offered in the first place.
"Pink is punk. You think I'm getting rid of it now?Come off it." You chuckled at the memory.
After your shower you finish getting ready for the day. The final task that you had left was your hair. You applied a light oil to your hands and got to work. You had to unravel all of the twists that Hobie had done only a couple days before. After you finished you look yourself over in the mirror, make some final adjustments, pop on your black ring, and head out.
Immediately you are met with the smells of onion, chilis, and various spices. Hobie must've made that one dish again. When you arrived in the dining room you had found that you were right. Alongside the rice and beignets you made you find a mock ackee and saltfish that he makes with eggs, as well as bacon on your plate. You mentally cheer and sit down. Hobie smiles.
"I've been waiting ages for you to get out. Almost checked to see if you were alright."
You scoff and roll your eyes. "Bie, hush."
Grabbing your fork you dig into your plate. The first bite in and a whirlwind of delicious flavors hit your taste buds. You set your fork down and stare at him. A few years ago you couldn't ever imagine something like this. A familiar warmth and a shared meal with someone who cared for you.
"Bug, is something wrong?" He looked at you worriedly. "The food's good init?"
You nodded and smiled.
"Yeah." You pick back up your fork. "It's absolutely delicious."
A/N: Was this rushed? Most definitely. Do I have any regrets? No. I love this sm and if you don't go kick rocks (this is a joke).
I debated on whether I'd do shared rooms or separate but it is what it is. I stole the bonnet hc from @/murdrdocs.
Fun fact a black ring on your middle finger is supposed to be a subtle sign for asexuality if you didn't know. (I have a black and a white one.) Also i'm Creole not Jamaican so forgive me if I got something wrong here. Finally, beignets are heavenly and I'd eat them all day if not for my gluten intolerance.

House of Mouse AU: Yuu and the Princess and the Frog Characters
*bangs fists on table* Mum Tiana! Mum Tiana! Mum Tiana!
I always see Tiana as the mum friend of the princesses and that is absolutely correct. She sees Yuu and is like: is anyone going to mother her? *Minnie and several other characters are about to raise their hands* No? Okay! Here sweetie, have some gumbo and beignets 😊
She just sees how hard Yuu works in a world where all odds seem to be against her and she’s still  smiling and making due with what she has when all she has is literally nothing just so touched. Besides she knows a thing or two about the restaurant business - if Yuu looks like she needs a hand, Tiana will be there to help and to remind her to take a break. And nobody is going to interrupt that break if they don’t want to answer to her.
Yuu definitely has a job offer for Tiana’s Place 
She’s not going to let Yuu get bullied by anyone either. When she first found out about Sam and his friends from the other side, alarm bells started ringing but Yuu was quick to comfort her by saying how Sam is like a cool protective older brother and how he gives her discounts and stuff and would never let harm come to her so she reluctantly lets it go. But don’t worry, she’s friends with an alligator and is a master at knife-wielding (and she has many knives) and as Ralph Breaks the Internet has taught us, she is not afraid to use a rolling pin.
Dr Facilier literally gave Yuu a grin and before he could open his mouth, Tiana had gently taken Yuu’s hand and guided her away whilst giving the shadow man a deathly glare.
Charlotte adores Yuu. She’s like the fun aunt that always brings super expensive presents every time she visits. Every time Yuu stops at her table, she’s just bursting with happy energy, ready to hear about all of the boys at NRC.
Also, side note: 
Prince Naveen/Charlotte La Bouff 🤝 Kalim Al Asim
*Willing to buy a country for Tiana/Yuu’s happiness*
When Naveen isn’t busy giving his wife the biggest heart eyes ever, being chaotic with Aladdin and Eugene or getting too invested in the Yuu ship war, he’s just ready to give Yuu all of the appreciation in the world because damn, he was worried when his parents cut him off as a grown man but Yuu is literally a penniless teenager living in a dangerous, broken down, abandoned building with no way of contacting her friends/family/loved ones and she has no magic in a world where literally everyone else has magic and she’s an only girl in an all boys school (and yeah, Naveen might have been an ignorant, carefree party boy who flirted with literally everyone but he knows that there are guys out there who are dangerous. Just because he’s very big on consent doesn’t mean the rest of the world is).
Like he literally sees this sweet, kind girl and he and Charlotte are already making kidnapping adoption plans.
Tiana: *right when she and her husband are about to enter the club* Now honey, I know that you think that Yuu would be happier with us but remember she has her friends and sort-of adoptive father back at her school and kidnapping is illegal here. And yes, it is still considered kidnapping even if she comes willingly.
Louis and Ray love Yuu. They work with Naveen to compose the most incredible song for when it’s time for her and her suitor to dance together (the PatF gang all ship KalimYuu by the way)
Dr Facilier thinks Yuu is cool. Both of them are living with disadvantages and don’t really have that much control over their lives - only instead of living with resentment like he does, she just marches on. She knows better than to make a deal with him though *Azul memories intensify* but he’s a really charming and charismatic guy. He’s fun to hang around with when you watch out for him trying to swindle you. Yuu always talks about Sam and how cool she finds him and his shadows and the two of them talk about voodoo and hoodoo and yay *new friend unlocked*
He teaches her card tricks so that she can show off to Ace

[text]: Hey Jules! You remember that cookbook idea I told you about a few months ago? Well exciting news... it's going ahead! It's a work in progress still in the early stages but those people you told me to reach out have been really helpful. I've been asking my fam for research if they have any favorite family recepies and I know you'll have some. Recepies including chocolate of course (although if you want to share others to try I won't say no). Thanks for sharing and for your help. 😃
[text]: YAY! Go You! I Can't wait to try them all out!
[text]: I will send some texts around my end of the family and see what all comes back, but I know at least one off the top of my head that you can have for chocolate filled beignets with chocolate dipping sauce that is to live for!
[text]: Because these are too delicious to die for and miss out on ever having them again.

Beads and Beignets: A long-suffering, but smitten, Aziraphale helps a female-presenting Crowley catch some good beads at Mardi Gras
Rated M for implied flashing and a street harasser who is easily dealt with. You know, Mardi Gras stuff. Written for a daily prompt challenge on Sendarya's discord server. Prompt: "Over a beer bottle" from The way you said "I love you."
----------------
Aziraphale gripped Crowley’s thighs, keeping them firmly around his neck. It was difficult to concentrate with all this noise and commotion around them, but he was determined to at least keep his balance. The last thing they needed was for him to lose his footing. Crowley had been perched on his shoulders for a few minutes now, and Aziraphale wondered how much longer she’d need to be up there in order to catch a set of “the good beads.”
“Throw me somethin’, Mister!” sounded out above him in Crowley’s best impression of a Y’at dialect.
“Woo! Ya, baby! That’s how it’s done!” The man standing beside Aziraphale in the crowd shouted over the music that was blasting from the float in front of them. Over Crowley’s leg, Aziraphale could see that the man was looking up at her.
“Oh, good lord.” Aziraphale muttered to himself. He had already seen several humans lifting their shirts in order to get the attention of krewe members with the best throws. He knew what Crowley had just done.
Aziraphale felt a pat on his head. It was the signal to let Crowley down. He carefully lowered himself to one knee and held out a steadying hand. He was surprised when the cold, wet glass bottle containing Crowley’s beer met it. Instinctually, he held it as Crowley clumsily climbed down from his shoulders. He noticed that it held significantly less liquid than it did when she had climbed up there. Aziraphale stood, tisking about the stain the street grime had left on his trouser knee. Crowley steadied herself and adjusted her clothing.
“Hey, sweetie, that was quite the show. Mind giving us a repeat performance?” For a split second, Crowley’s face was a nightmare of fangs and forked tongue. The man screamed, backing away so quickly that the crowd immediately swallowed him up.
“D’you see that, Aziraphale? I bet he thought I was a vampire.” Crowley lifted her hands into the spooky pose of a silent film monster and bared her teeth. A necklace of enormous purple, green, and gold beads adorned her neck. A giant plastic crawfish hung from it like a medallion.
“Yes, you were very scary, my dear.” Aziraphale handed the beer back to Crowley. “And what lovely beads. Do you think we could find somewhere to grab a little something to eat? I think I’ve had enough parade for now.” Crowley sighed, but nodded.
“Yeah, alright. Lemme sober up, then maybe we can head to that place on the river? For those, wadda ya call them? Benny-yay’s?” Aziraphale chuckled as the liquid level rose in the bottle. Crowley made a disgusted face at the resulting taste. She dumped the beer into a nearby overflowing trash bin, and offered her hand to the angel beside her. Aziraphale took it, a quiet glow of contentment forming in his chest as they made their way through the French Quarter to Decatur Street.

The Cubs at Disneyland
Hi, so I've been trying to do this for awhile (ever since I drew Lo in a Mickey Mouse hoodie) but when the queen herself, miss Hazel, said she needs them to go to Disney... well I wrote this. And drew it. Because I'm me.
So anyway, here's the drawing and below is the fic
Tw for a couple mentions of food but I think that's it
Credit for everything @lumosinlove
Tumblr media
Leo bounced a bit on the balls of his feet, goofy smile at full force while he waited to board the plane. He had grown up going to Disney World with his family. Living in Louisiana, Florida wasn’t too far away, and Eloise and Wyatt Knut didn’t let being adults stop them from enjoying the magic of Disney. When Leo was born, his parents were beyond excited about the prospect of going as a family, getting mickey ears, collecting pins, and making memories.
The first time he went, Leo was five, his favorite Disney movie was the lion king, and an expression of pure joy was permanent in his pale, blue eyes. Over the four days they were in the parks he got to go on rides, eat themed sweets, and meet his favorite characters.
After that first trip, Eloise started a scrap book. The book, titled ‘Disney World 2006’, was soon filled with pictures of Leo at the entrance gate, Leo with pineapple dole whip halfway to his mouth, and countless of all three of them taken by the photographers.
A favorite picture of Eloise’s was near the back, this one of her son with Simba. When Leo had spotted the cast member dressed as his favorite character, he all but threw himself at the lion costume clad employee. Leo’s mama had taken many pictures of the two lion cubs together and they were beyond adorable.
There are more scrap books from 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017. Throughout the years of pictures Leo never looks less than ecstatic. Even though New Orleans will forever remain his favorite place in the world, Disney is a close second to home, which is why this trip with his boys is such a big deal for him.
The Lions are currently on a short break in the season after their game against the Coyotes and the cubs are going to spend a few days at Disneyland in Anaheim.
Finn reaches forward to grab Leo’s hand who is standing in line in front of him.
“Sunshine, are you excited?” He asks. Leo tilts his head around to look at his boyfriend and nods eagerly.
“We’ll take that as a yes,” logan chuckles sleepily from behind Finn where he is standing with his head resting on the red head’s back. Evidently waking up at 6:00 in the morning to drive to the airport wasn’t ideal for him.
Leo lets out a low, impatient groan, still bouncing, “I need to be there like right now. Can’t we get on the plane already?”.
“We haven’t even been waiting that long. I think they’re about to call our section though, Peanut,” Finn answers him, trying not to let his amusement show too much.
A crinkly noise cuts off Leo’s response, “Now boarding rows 1-10,” a voice says from over the loudspeaker. Leo stands up straighter and turns to his boyfriends, “that’s us!”
“I know Nutter-Butter, go on, let’s get you to Disney!” Finn says as he pats Leo’s butt lightly, moving him forward, onto the jet bridge.
The boys get settled into their seats, Finn by the window, Logan in the middle for maximum cuddles, and Leo on the aisle for the leg room. For the first half of the flight Logan sleeps while Finn and Leo share a movie, but all three boys are wide awake by the time the flight attendants come around with drinks for the second time. The rest of the flight is spent chatting about practices coming up after the break, things they need for the apartment, and what they are going to do first upon arriving.
Once getting off the plane in California, they take the shuttle from John Wayne Airport to the Disneyland hotels. They are staying in the Adventure Land tower, closest to the park. By this point all three boys are buzzing with the infectious happiness of Disney. After unpacking and getting settled into their hotel room, the cubs proceed with their plans of shopping and getting dinner in Downtown Disney. First thing on the agenda is to procure mouse ears. Logan, Finn, and Leo make their way to World of Disney in order to find the widest selection of ears. Leo has a collection of his own ears at home, including his favorite pride Minnie ears, but for this trip he wants to get new ones along with Logan and Finn. Leo and Finn decide on classic Mickey ear hats, while Logan picks out Minnie ears with a lavender bow. They all get sweatshirts too, as is custom.
After a pleasant evening of enjoying the atmosphere and getting dinner at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen (Leo’s offense towards their attempt at Cajun cuisine is only partially a joke), they call it night. They head back to the hotel, brush their teeth, put on pajamas, and cuddle up in bed. After a busy day the three boys quickly fall asleep, full of anticipation for the day ahead.
Something you should know about Leo is that when it comes to Disney, he is hard core. Their first morning there is an early entry in Disneyland park.
“Rise and shine, party people!” Leo calls as he entera the main part of the hotel room from the bathroom. Logan and Finn are just now waking up, but they aren’t remotely tired. The pure excitement radiating off their boyfriend is contagious as well as the promise of a day of fun.
“Butter baby, how long have you been up?” Finn’s question is alarmed yet distinctly amused.
“Since 5:30,” Leo responds off-handedly. Logan and Finn share a look, then turn it on Leo. Undeterred, Leo spins slowly in a circle in order to show off his carefully constructed outfit. He is wearing his favorite light wash Levi’s, paired with the crewneck he bought yesterday (light gray with vintage looking Mickey & friends). Underneath his sweatshirt he is wearing his Pizza Planet t-shirt, ready for when it gets hot later. Leo’s outfit is accessorized with his new Mickey ear hat, white air Jordan 1’s, and his Tinker Bell lanyard filled with pins from over the years.
“These things take time! Now y’all go get dressed, we have to be in line by 6:45,” Leo says. With that both Finn and Logan get out of bed and into their clothes in record time. On their way out of the room, they pick up their ears and backpacks from the desk by the TV.
After a brief stop at the Starbucks in Downtown Disney, the boys make it into the que of people lining up at the entrance gate. Once 7:00 hits, the lines start to move into the park. As Logan, Finn, and Leo enter, they gaze around in awe. At the end of Mainstreet sits Sleeping Beauty’s castle, tall and glorious. They walk hand in hand down the lane of colorful, old fashioned buildings, chatting excitedly about what to do first.
“Alright babes, what’s up on the agenda?” Finn asks.
“I don’t even know the options, what do you say Le?” Logan continues.
They end up heading over to Tomorrow Land first. They go on Star Tours and Space Mountain while the lines are short, then bounce around Fantasy land as they make their way across the park. Around 8:30 all three boys start to get hungry so they grab a bag or two of beignets from New Orleans Square. After breakfast, they hit their favorites in Adventure land (Finn fucking loves Indiana Jones), Frontier Land (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a fan favorite), and New Orleans Square (Logan might not stop singing ‘Yo Ho a Pirate’s Life for Me’ for weeks).
Around noon the cubs exit Disneyland Park and walk across to California Adventure. After lunch at Wine Country Trattoria the boys bop around Cars Land, Hollywood Land, Pacific Warf and Grizzly Peak. The lines are a lot longer now that it’s afternoon, so they take it in stride and spend their waiting time talking, cuddling, and playing games. They end up going on almost every ride as well as hitting the extra good ones twice like Incredicoaster and Guardians of the Galaxy (still a fan-fucking-tastic ride but Leo misses the Twilight Zone theme).
By the time they finish up in California Adventure for the day, it’s almost time for Fantasmic, and Leo has yet to tell his boys that he got them reserved seats. The cubs meander back to Disneyland but when they start to near Frontier Land Finn picks up the pace.
“Sweetheart, what’s the hurry?” Leo asks with a knowing smile.
“I wanna get good seats for Fantasmic, I haven’t seen it since I was little!” Finn replies.
“Orgasmic? I like the sound of that,” Logan slides in with a smirk.
“Baby, no!” His boyfriends exclaim at the same time. Logan giggles which gets Leo and Finn laughing as well.
“And Finn, I got us seat reservations for the show so no need to rush,” Leo tells him. Finn’s response is to jump on Leo with a fierce hug and a drawn out “Yay,”.
The cubs enjoy the water show immensely, all snuggled up and bundled in sweatshirts once again to fend off the cool evening air. They point out little details to each other with intertwined hands and gasp aloud at the pretty fireworks. Once Fantasmic is over they do a few more rides, then head back to the hotel, sleepy after a full day. The boys fall asleep quickly again, ready to do it all again the next day.

Blog Post #1 - “A Beignet Keeps the Sadness Away!”
First and foremost, welcome to Nola Eats! You are reading history, as this is the first Nola Eats blog post. This blog will be your one stop shop for all things New Orleans cuisine. Each blog post will focus on a famous New Orleans delicacy, so make sure you aren’t scrolling on an empty stomach - you’ll be hungry in no time! I hope you enjoy our blog and thank you in advance for reading.
Our first New Orleans delicacy that this blog will focus on is the beignet. Pronounced “ben-yay”, which comes from the Celtic word “bigne” meaning “to rise”, a beignet is a square piece of dough that is deep fried and topped with powdered sugar. They are made with a sweet dough that has gone through a yeasting process. When ready the dough is cut into squares, fried and sugar is the final touch. They are usually about two inches square, and those two inches of pastry is a fantastic experience. Beignets are very light and sweet pastries that go perfect with a cup of coffee! They are eaten hot, and the cooking process is very quick. When ordering beignets, they almost always come in threes (unless you get a double order like me! don’ t judge!), and it has been that way since they were brought to New Orleans in the 18th Century by French colonists.
Beignets have an interesting and long history, as fried dough treats were a delicacy in Ancient Rome! The famous recipe then moved to Greece and other parts of Europe before being a main part of 16th Century France’s Mardi Gras menu - which is a celebration that all New Orleanians are familiar with! French settlers eventually made their way to Canada in the 17th century and settled in a place called Acadia. The British soon took over this land area in Canada, and the french settlers were forced to move south - and their pastry recipe made it all the way to Louisiana. By the 18th century, these french pastries had become a New Orleans staple - but they weren’t called beignets just yet. In the 19th and 20th century the pastry was referred to as “french doughnuts”. It wasn’t until 1958 that the official name of beignet came about. About 30 years later the pastry was made Louisiana’s official doughnut - deservingly so.
So at this point in the blog post, you are probably wondering where you can eat some of these so-called beignets - and the answer to that question is the world famous Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The original Cafe Du Monde was opened in 1862 at the French Market on the banks of the Mississippi, and this location is still active and serving beignets today. Half of Cafe Du Monde is underneath the roof of the original French Market while the other half is under a famous green and white striped awning. They only have a couple options of what to buy on the menu, which is an order of beignets and cafe au lait, which is a delightful coffee mixture of dark roast, chicory, and warm milk. The best part about Cafe Du Monde is the fact that it is open twenty four hours a day, and seven days a week. Fantastic right? Imagine a night out dancing in the French Quarter until 3:00 A.M. and then being able to serve your sweet tooth with an order of beignets that costs you $2.65. It’s almost too good to be true.The green and white stripes of Cafe Du Monde is a New Orleans landmark, and the stripes can be seen at multiple locations around the city - but none can compare to the original location.
I have been going to Cafe Du Monde ever since I was a kid - and the unique taste of beignets never gets old. If you ever are in New Orleans, do not leave without trying this tasty treat - and if you do ever make it to Cafe Du Monde, save me a beignet!

It's neither a headcanon nor is it about Resslington, but what are your thoughts on Cassington?
Yay! An ask! Thanks, anon!
I like anytime Raymond Reddington gets laid. Sexy, sensual, criminals deserve really hot sex. And there’s a part of me that just loves when Red gets a little reprieve from being Red. I like when he gets his little slice of happiness.
With that beignets said, I liked Cassington. They were cute together. They had history, but most importantly, she didn’t try to change him. Also, it really says a lot about how he felt about Casandra that he was willing to bring her to Agnes’s recital.
I think they’re a good fit. Plus, just look at how he looks at her.

A Divorce of Convenience by @raidens-realm​ for @spncoldesthits​
Pairings: Sully/Cupid, Garth Fitzgerald IV/Bess Myers, Missouri Moseley/Bobby Singer
Rating: G
Summary: α мσмεηтσυs ∂αү αяяιvεs ғσя ωнιcн sυℓℓү тнε zαηηα αη∂ cυρι∂ нαvε вεεη cσυηтιηg ∂σωη.
Liveblog below the cut: 
"Want some beignets?" 
Kelly would be my friend IMMEDIATELY. I can never say no to a good beignet!
"I was headed for customer service when seeing the cutest high schoolers. The stock boy spotted his school's star quarterback through the energy drink fridge, I just had to!"
Okay, as a bystander, this is kind of adorable. But I can see how this would get beyond irritating if you’re married to someone like this. Cu needs someone who wants lots of space, I think lol. 
"They're bringing back the Love Connection! Yay!! Oof, though DJ Khalid's a poor host choice, on social media he's confessed he's a taker not a giver."
LOL. Cu reminds me of multiple family members of mine. Head in the clouds, short attention spans, immediately forgetting what they’re supposed to be doing XD 
No, I don't have that kind of preference for children! I mean, I often enjoy their company, they are so honest and creative …" 
oh nooooooOOO!! wow, that was uncomfortable even though I totally knew what Cu meant. Also, I feel bad for Cu!
"If you'd spent a fraction of the time on our marriage than you do playing matchmaker maybe this wouldn't have happened!" Sully word vomited before he could reel himself in.
OOF. I guess it’s good they’re getting a divorce. Sully’s frustration and contempt is palpable. 
"You couldn't have mentioned your concerns?! Or maybe you just didn't care enough...I...I.." 
DOUBLE OOF. I hope Sully eventually realizes this wasn’t a cool thing to accuse his friends of (imo, but of course no one’s perfect). But his friends are awesome enough I imagine they’ll forgive him and explain why they didn’t tell him their concerns. 
The kid was a Godsend. 
JACK REALLY FUCKING IS. In fic and in the show!

Sequel to this one!
Virgil
“What happened to his parents?”
Even though they were quiet, Virgil could hear the whispers of the king and the men who had brought him here. He could not stop himself from sniffling, freezing when everyone turned to him.
“I’m sorry, I -”
The king walked over to him, a look on his face that Virgil did not recognize. “There is no need to be sorry, young one. I have a son about your age, did you want to meet him?”
“Okay.”
The king held out his hand, not letting go once Virgil was on his feet. They moved through the castle with ease, the men falling into step behind the two of them. The king nodded at a few people as they passed, but no one stopped them.
After a few minutes, the king knocked on a door. “Patton?”
The door swung open, revealing a boy a little shorter than Virgil. A huge smile graced his face as he saw another boy, but it fell instantly. “How come you were crying?”
Virgil could not help it as the tears began to flow once more. As soon as they started, a set of small arms wrapped around him.
“I have some stories I can read to you, but only if you want to.”
Knowing he would not be able to speak, Virgil merely nodded, being dragged into the room a second later.
As he grew older, he understood what had happened. He was a ward of the king, someone that Thomas had seen and essentially adopted without a second thought. Thomas refused to tell him what had happened to his parents until he was old enough to process everything.
Unable to find a proper way to thank the king, Virgil asked to be trained to become a knight. The men who had brought him to the castle gave him lessons, and he earned the title of page fairly easily.
In the meantime, Virgil shared educational lessons with Patton. The two of them became close after that first night, separating for lessons only when they absolutely had to. When they were ten and Patton called Virgil his best friend, it had shocked him so much that he had burst into tears.
As he grew up, the knights noticed that Virgil had some of the fastest reflexes they had ever seen. On his 15th birthday, he was promoted to squire, and began some more hardcore training with the knights.
He was currently in the practice area with Sir Toby, who had agreed to a sparring match. Sir Theobold and Patton sat in the stands - one in case of an emergency and one to cheer Virgil on.
“Hold on, fix your stance.”
Looking down, Virgil shifted his feet, before flexing his grip on the wooden sword he’d been given.
“Begin.”
Virgil dashed forward, knowing it was to his advantage to be up close to Sir Toby. He was tall and had reach - something Virgil lacked.
Sir Toby attempted to use this reach to block Virgil, but the squire simply ducked out of the way, popping up in Sir Toby’s face.
“Yay, Virge!”
It was a hard fought battle. Virgil used all of his training and knowledge of Toby’s weaknesses, but in the end, Sir Toby’s experience won out. Virgil found himself on his back, the tip of the wooden sword at his throat.
“I yield.”
“Very good, Virgil.” Sir Toby tossed the sword away, helping him up. “A knight must know when the fight is lost, lest he get himself killed.”
“Caution over recklessness.” Virgil answered, earning a smile from the knight.
The door to the practice area opened, and another boy stepped out. He adjusted his glasses as he hurried up to Sir Toby, a scroll in his hand.
“The king wishes to see both you and Sir Theobold.”
“Thank you, Logan.”
The knights headed off, leaving the three boys alone.
“You certainly do not look like a messenger.” Virgil said as he took in Logan’s appearance. “You wear a similar color, yet you wear robes.”
“I am no messenger, but I offered to bring the scroll out regardless.” He said, bowing to both Virgil and Prince Patton. “The robes signify my ability to use magic.”
“Magic?!” Patton squealed, stumbling out of his seat and running up to them. “Can you show us?”
“Anything for the crown prince.”
Patton giggled, practically vibrating where he stood. Virgil felt a surge of jealousy wash over him, but he could not pinpoint why.
Logan said a quick chant, before waving a hand in front of his face. His eyes changed in an instant, glowing a bright silver. The spell faded a moment later.
“Unfortunately, I am still an apprentice, but my master says that I am a quick learner and can make master rank by the time the snow falls.”
Virgil tensed as Logan turned to him. “I had heard that you were the best squire being trained at the moment. Is that true?”
“I would not say the best -”
“Virgil, stop being down about yourself!” Patton cut him off, brows furrowed and hands on his hips. “You are the best squire being trained right now.”
The corner of Logan’s mouth quirked up. “If that is the case, I have a proposal to run by you.”
Virgil could feel himself sliding into a defensive stance as he looked at the mage. “What is this proposal?”
“From my research, knights are trained to fight against other men. To fight in a war, should one occur.” Logan’s eyes brightened as he spoke. “My master says that more wars have been using mages to their advantage, which is something knights are not trained for. I propose that we have the occasional practice duel between us, so that you may learn how to train against magic, and I may learn to defend myself from physical attacks.”
“I accept your proposal.”
Soon enough, Logan had joined Virgil and Patton’s group. Patton had assured him that they were still best friends, but that was not what Virgil was worried about.
He had come to realize that his jealousy of Logan was because he had a crush on Patton.
Virgil’s black cloak swished around him as he paced in his chambers. Should he tell the king? Surely that was a terrible idea, the king would send him somewhere else so that he would not be distracted by his duties.
The very thought of being sent far away from Patton made Virgil dizzy. He sat on the floor, trying to steady his breaths.
He heard his door creak open, but he had to close his eyes as everything became too much. There was some shouting, but Virgil could not pinpoint the voice.
It could have been minutes or it could have been hours before Virgil felt a familiar pressure on his hands and heard a familiar voice.
“Virgil, breathe. I am going to squeeze your hands, and I want you to breathe as I count, alright?”
Once his breathing was steady, Virgil opened his eyes to find Patton in front of him, looking more than a little concerned. “What happened, Vee?”
“I do not know.”
“It must have been a curse.” Sir Toby said from the door. “We were unable to shake you from your stupor.”
“There was no curse here.” Logan knelt at Virgil’s side from where he had been standing, making Virgil jump. He waved a hand, the dark blue magic washing over Virgil. “This was a natural reaction. I have seen it before, but never at this magnitude. Tell me, Virgil, what caused such a reaction? Did something happen?”
Virgil did his best to keep his reddening cheeks hidden. “No, I was - I was thinking about if I was ever sent away from here and - it just happened.”
“You will never be sent away.” Patton’s voice was thick, and there were tears shining in his eyes. “If Father sent you away, I would go with you. I would run away.”
“Perhaps making plans to run away in front of your father’s guards is not the best idea.” There was a small smile on Logan’s face, before he turned to Virgil. “I can make a potion that should calm the effects of your condition, but I cannot guarantee that all the symptoms will disappear.”
“Thank you, Logan.”
After a fortnight, Logan delivered the potion, and continued to do so whenever Virgil was low.
Months later, hours after Patton’s 16th birthday ball, Virgil found himself in the kitchen. Patton was talking to a servant boy, a huge smile on both of their faces. The jealousy washed over Virgil again, and before he could blink he was at Patton’s side.
“Sir Virgil,” he said, holding out a hand. “I do not believe we have been introduced.”
“Oh, my name is Roman.” The servant said, shaking Virgil’s hand before giving a small bow. “It is truly an honor to meet both the prince and the favored squire in one night.”
Blood flowed to Virgil’s cheeks at the unexpected compliment. “Ah - thank you.”
“I had been hoping to come see some of your sparring, but I have been stuck on kitchen duty since we arrived.” Roman used wide gestures as he spoke, nearly hitting Virgil in the shoulder. He pointed to a batch of beignets. “I made those actually.”
“You did?!” Patton practically shrieked. “Those were my favorite!”
“They were, he had around six of them.”
Virgil could not help but laugh as Patton feigned pouting. “It was only five.”
“Well, if you come visit me more often, I promise to have a batch of those ready at all times.”
After that night, three friends became four. It took a little while before Virgil and Logan completely warmed up to Roman, as he was not a fan of his job while they were more than devoted, but eventually the four of them were friendly enough with each other.
Virgil did not see Roman often, given his duties, but when he did he always gave the servant a friendly nod.
It seemed as though time flew by before Virgil was 17, kneeling in front of the king, swearing his oath of knighthood.
He felt the sword tap each shoulder before King Thomas asked him to stand.
“Now, for your assignment.” He said, a glimmer in his eye. “You are to be Prince Patton’s personal guard. Do not leave his side unless he or I command you to do so.”
Virgil struggled to keep his arms at his sides instead of throwing them around the king in a hug. The ceremony continued for only a few minutes more before everyone was excused from the throne room.
As the final servant left, excluding Roman, King Thomas walked up to Virgil and pulled him close.
“I could think of no better knight for the job than you.”
Once the king had let him go, Virgil found himself with an armful of Patton. “Vee, this is perfect! Best friends stick together, forever!”
“Forever.” Virgil agreed, his eyes darting down to Patton’s lips for a moment before he caught himself.
Virgil did his new job diligently, only leaving Patton’s side when necessary.
The first time he left Patton’s side on his own accord was when he saw the poster advertising a contest for Patton’s hand. His vision was very nearly tinted red as he tore the poster off the board.
“Patton, I am afraid we must head back to the castle. I had forgotten that I needed a word with the king.”
“Aw, Vee, we just got here.”
Sir Janus, the extra knight that had been sent with them, raised an eyebrow at Virgil before turning to Patton. “A word with the king is something that cannot wait. However, if it suits the two of you, I would be able to keep the Prince safe in town. Sir Virgil could have his audience, and you, Prince Patton, would be able to continue to shop.”
Patton looked to Virgil. “I am not opposed to this plan, but you are my guard. This decision is yours to make.”
“Sir Janus is more than competent, he will keep you safe.” Virgil said, his tone sending a threat to the knight. “I will return as soon as possible.”
The conversation with the king went swimmingly, as did the contest. Virgil was thankful that Patton had chosen him, as well as Logan and Roman. The four of them shared something that no one else had.
Virgil pulled back from the hug he had been pulled into, clearing his throat.
“Patton has confessed his love for you all. I am not in love with you, Logan, or you, Roman, but I am in love with Patton. If he wants the three of us, I can learn to share.”

[text]: Thank you! I’ve been shut up in my office and at home for the last few weeks compiling recipes and working on a draft to send them whilst the prototype of the front cover gets designed. It’s a team effort but I couldn’t have gotten it underway without your help and suggestions.
[text]: Oooh beignets. Princess and the Frog made them look so good. Kinda like how the Narnia movies tricked me into thinking I’d like Turkish Delight. I hope they serve beignets at Tiana’s restaurant at Disneyworld because if not, why not. Anyways we’re getting off topic - yes they sound a-maz-ingly yummy, I can’t believe I’ve missed on this family speciality before.
[Text]: Always glad to help. And yay on the progress; cover drafts are my third most favourite part of putting a book together.
[Text]: You don’t like Turkish delight? It’s candy coated in powdered sugar! Wait, did you get the stuff that’s pure gel, or did you get the stuff with nuts and whatnot as well. I love the pure gel stuff, but the other kind is hit or miss for me depending on what kind and how much of the other stuff they put into it.
[Text]: Regardless, I will be forwarding you the recipe for the beignets and sauce a s a p!

Indian Girl Makes Beignets from Scratch with Strawberry Filling
Learn how to make beignets the easy and delicious way. Beignets (pronunciation: “Ben-Yay”) are most culturally associated with New Orleans, USA. 
Tumblr media
But their story originates from France, and going further back, in Rome. Traditionally, beignets do not have a jam filling, but a thick sugar coating that sticks to the hot, freshly fried donuts. 
Tumblr media
But this jam-centred donut goes a step further. Delve into the fluffy, sweet fried dough with a bite of strawberry on the side to get a perfect sweet and tangy taste. Let us know in the comments below how it turned out. 
We would love to hear from you!
