Just desserts...5 of them.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

There's all flavours of fanfiction, but at this time of year I think sweet treats are classic...I want to offer magic brownies, buttered crumpets, cookie monsters, fancy donuts, and chocolate muffin doll vampires!


1) These brownies are Rick's magically doctored ones in Spiders From Mars, last part in my all time favourite finished saga:

"“Spike,” she said in the voice of crisp efficiency, “I can patrol on my own. And it’s not like I’m going to sleep tonight because I had four cups of coffee since I’ve been here.”
“Maybe I’ll drop by at bedtime an’ make sure you’re good and tired.”
Eyes narrowed, she examined him as though he’d crawled out of one of the sewers. “Do you come up with that sleazy crap on your own or is there a book?”
So much for the attempt at titillation. Spike pushed himself away from the counter and gathered up his brownie and coffee. She wasn’t going to take those away from him."

2) Buttered crumpets, and not just that, but everything an english pastry and tea shop would offer you in a dream:

...just reading about it will put weight on your hips! But be worned that it's a WIP, for now.

3) The Attack of the Cookie Monsters. No way I can explain this. It's just too good, and you're lucky if you haven't seen it already:

4) About donuts: "There were only two donuts left. One of them was chocolate fudge with maraschino cherries. The other was a mocha marshmallow with orange rind and sour ball chunks. I hate mocha marshmallow. I’m not proud of it, but I planned on grabbing that chocolate fudge at Maximum Slayer Speed so Willow couldn’t get it."

This one of hers is a little bit more than a divertissement, but her donuts are always of an alien, superior quality.

5) What can I say about Chocolate Muffin Vampire Dolls? This is the kind of thing that makes me laugh with a frown, and is it weird or is it kinky or is it silly or what is it? I'm baffled.

Now I'm hungry again! This is a really fun list, thanks for posting.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ...and thanks for the support.

[shapinglight]

What a great list. mere_ubu's vampire doll posts are always wonderful.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

They really are! :)

[yourlibrarian]

Hey hon, I know you had some trouble with your lj-cut but I can't edit your entry. Just click on the pencil icon and insert after your opening sentences and that should fix things.

[yourlibrarian]

Yay, all fixed! I love the theme for your list, too.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Yes, it worked! I don't know why it didn't work the first time. Did you fix the tags for me, too? Thank you for that, I meant to add some but I was so flustered...

[yourlibrarian]

No problem, I always do tags for each post and pop them into Memories too :) I figure hopefully one of the three ways to access posts will help stuff get found!

Good thing I have zeppole for breakfast, this post has me craving sweets!

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

"Zeppole" for breakfast? You're naughty!

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

I'm just referring to Italian ricotta doughnut holes. Is there something I'm missing?

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

At the pastry shop near my place, zeppole are a big affair of deep fried dough with lots of warm custard and cherries on top, and they make them only at a certain time of the year...

Yum! These weren't anywhere near as decadent!

[moscow-watcher.livejournal.com]

What a great, unusual, inventive list!

*licks lips*

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

And I missed some very good (!) ones, alas.

[cordykitten]

Must check them out later (but better when I have eaten something, huh?)

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

:)

BEST THEME EVA, ZOMG. And I remember Spikez_tart's doughnuts; they're absolutely mad, in a way that's pretty brilliant.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
Yes, the craziest ones were in her WWHwH (that's 2009), but these ones are pretty puzzling too, aren't they?

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Ooh, what a fabulous idea! (And I'm not just saying that because Doll!Spike made the list, although I'm certainly grateful. If a little overfed. Do you know how much prop chocolate that little fiend has made me eat this year?!) A couple of these are new to me, and I could definitely use a little fic dessert. Yum.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
You Doll!Spike is as much canon as the rest of the Scoobies, at this point...

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I have one to add with chocolate mousse! It even comes with a mousse recipe at the end. It's Season 3 Spike/Buffy (rare!) and NC17:

Delish!

Great list. I've got lots to read, now.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

A sweet link! Thank you!

(You know that your Up With Chocolate! didn't make it only because it's 2009...maybe next year I could find five chocolate only ones...)

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Really? How sweet! Heh. You know, that fic was inspired by seeing Illyria standing (very seriously) beside the bowl of chocolate mousse in the mere_ubu post above. Which in itself was inspired by the Calyposo_Woodhaven story I just mentioned. Fandom in action!
