Title: Happiness is Homemade
Author(s): delicatale and sirona_gs
Pairing: Steve/Danny, Chin/Malia
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~43,000
Warnings: none that aren't implied by the rating; Steve’s parents are both alive in this story.
Summary: It's not easy, running a Jersey-style bakery in Hawai'i. Things get a little easier (and a whole lot more fun) once Danny meets Chin and Kono's friend, the one who enjoys leaning against his glass cases despite all of Danny's dire warnings, and starts food fights for no reason whatsoever.

I have literally woken up about an hour and a half ago. Back on antibiotics, and my body hates me. Regular sleeping schedule, I miss you so... :(((

Yesterday I got really fucking aggravated by a comment I read in the journal of one of my flisters, with regards to the recent LJ changes. ( Feel free to skip, it's just me blowing off steam, I suspect. )

Anyway. Onto more better things. I am about to spam you with links to fun things! :D Like I spammed zolac_no_miko last night at 3am... WHAT CAN I SAY, WHEN I DON'T SLEEP, I DON'T SLEEP LIKE A BOSS. I hadn't been on my favourite site (because yes, I am a geek, and guess what -- so are these people, proudly so, and they do everything they can to spread the joy! HOW NOT TO LOVE THEM FOR IT) for far too long, and last night when I was posting JEREMY RENNER AND GEMMA ARTERTON IN LEATHER, I went to take a look. AND OH MY GODDDDD ALLLLL THE SHINY!! *________* And because I love you all, I thought I'd share! AREN'T YOU HAPPY YOU'RE ON MY FLIST? :D :D

Let's start with something I know a lot of you are well excited about: The Hobbit Trailer Breakdown and The Batman Trailer Breakdown. These all go into awesome details, sort of paring out clues from what we're being shown, and they make for some pretty fab reading! :)

Then there are these Movie Recipes, including Francis Ford Coppola's spaghetti sauce from The Godfather that I'm making for my dad, because he's such a huge fan, Julia Child's Boeuf Bourginon, and a recipe for beignets that I am itching to try out.

Then there is Robert Downey Jr: A Viewer's Guide that is all kinds of shiny, and I need to re-watch half the films on it. And with that, we move into Avengers territory! IS ANYONE SURPRISED, I ASK YOU. Okay, this feature BLEW. MY. MIND. Because you're talking to a seriously die-hard Whedon fan, HE IS MY ABSOLUTE HERO, and look, this is why I love Empire so much. Because they get me. Us. They get their fans. They know we're all geeks and nerds to a certain degree, and they know about Joss Whedon, they get what he is. And so they have given us this: How do The Avengers fit into the Whedonverse?, which is THE BEST THING EVER, and drew from me all kinds of embarrassing squeaky noises of delight (not a huge surprise, as it's written by Helen O'Hara, whom I adore -- she is this incredibly awesome film journalist who also has a Law degree and appears to have the same taste in movies and TV shows as me, and just, she is my internet girlfriend. *_______*). WAIT TILL YOU GET TO THOR. In fact, they are all awesomesauce in one way or another. <3<3<3

And last, to cap off this edition of The Shiny, have some eye candy. I am sad that there is no Phil BAMF Coulson, or Pepper shots, but oh well, I'll take what I can get.





But for me, the real winner of the piece is Helen's (yep, her again <3 Just one more reason I am helplessly infatuated with her) poll that goes with the banners, which I shall recreate here for the benefit of humanity (the Fury thing made me snort tea, trufax. As did the Thor thing :D):

[Poll #1805098]

And now to finish my secret_mutant story and the last read-over of cop!Erik AU. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GETTING SO CLOSE TO POSTING IT. It hardly seems real. :')

I've been incredibly restless all day. I guess it's been a long, long time since I had the weekend off to just chill out and do fuck-all if that's what I wanted.

So naturally I cleaned the house, dead-headed the roses on the balcony, finally hooked up our new Blu-Ray player that we've had since last Christmas -- I know, what the bloody fuck, this is ridiculous -- played Inception on it (just to make sure it worked, you know, honestly, although I could see every single stripe on Arthur's shirt and every fleck of blue in Eames' eyes and that was awesomesauce), fiddled a bit with my layout, read Tony/Steve fanfic by gyzym, and made those mocha cupcakes I was talking about.

( Observe! )

They are delicious. Success!! \0/ \0/

And now to finish that fic and make a start on the two beta jobs I promised. Yay moar yummy fic! *noms*

Sooo... Got home a couple hours ago. It's been 34 degrees outside, and I am heat-slapped and groggy. My head hurts because of the A/C slamming right at my sinuses, and I'm just flat-out knackered. I'm so sorry I couldn't be around, delicatale! D: I AM THE WORST CO-WRITER EVER. But by the time I got your mail, and I'd done ?skip=220, I was completely useless, and it was 5pm your time. /0\ I SWEAR I SHALL BE ONLINE ALLLLL DAY TOMORROW if you want to get some writing done! IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM SENDING YOU THE BIGGEST VIRTUAL CUDDLE!! <333

Interesting/awesome things that have happened while I've been away:


Haven't managed to make too much progress with writing -- only about 2K on the P&P thing this morning, BUT it has taken the story up to just before Bingley's McCoy's proposal, SO NOT LONG TO GO AT ALL. I am kind of looking forward to writing those final scenes, A HELL OF A LOT.

Anyway. I think I shall sleep now. After I've gorged myself on delicious watermelon my dad's just sliced. YUM! Either that, or I'm going to get a sudden attack of mad inspiration, and end up staying way too late again. It could go either way at this point. >.>


ETA: I have every intention of signing up for this!



zarah5, this is like the tailor-made exchange for you, bb! <333 God, I used to LOVE making mixtapes -- I still do them for myself now! :D I am so looking forward to this! I have left prompts! \0/ THEY ARE PERFECTLY FLUFFY AND SILLY AND ROMANTIC, AS PER SPEC. XD
